"The Mistake of His Life"

The Jackson Evening News,
which has been supporting SEN
ator Money for reelection, said
in it's issue of the 22nd ult.:
''The friends of Longino are
claiming that he is going to sweep
the State. IfCol. Money is beat
en- it will be because he took up
a false issue and made it the lead
ing plank in his platform. If
he had recognized that the negro
was not an issue in this State and
cut him out of his platform, all
would have been we'll; but the
Governor put him on the defen-
sive on this issue. This State is a
conservative State and there was
no reason why Senator Money
should have raised this issue.
He has alienated a great many
people who would have been his
warm supporters. The News
does not know whether Longino
will sweep the State or not, not
having taken much stock in that
part of the campaign, but it does
know that Senator Money made
the mistake of his life when he
dragged the negro into Missis-
sippi politics. y
The News has it about right
and the August primary will
Prove it.

Unadulterated Demaaoauery.

The argument that the state, in
working its convicts on farms and
raising corn, cotton, oats, peas,
potatoes, hay, mules, cattle and
hogs, is in competition with
honest, free labor is nothing
but pure, unadulterated dema-
goguery. The net proceeds OF
the state farm goes into the
state treasury and helps run the
state government. The system
employed in Mississippi is the
best ever adopted. The convicts,
as arule, are humanely treated and
properly cared for. They are
better contented on the farm than
any where else and give less
trouble. The death rate has been
greatly decreased and they have
good medical attention at the pris-
on hospital. Other states are
adopting our system and the howl
iof politicians that convict labor
is competing with free labor is
nothing but nonsense and rot.

BISHOP GALLOWAY'S ADDRESS.

The Leader publishes today in
full the address delivered by Bish-
op Charles B. Galloway on June
3rd, on the occasion of the corner
stone laying of Mississippi's new
million dollar capitol. Both in
subject matter and in the beauty,
strength and eloquence of it's Ian
guage it measured up to the nota-
BILE historic occasion ON which it
was delivered, and any one will
feel well repaid who reads it.
The editor of The Leader has
heard nearly all of the celebrated
orators of the present day and of
the generation just passed away,
and in his judgment, when it
comes to real eloquence and ora
tory, Bishop Galloway stands
among them without a peer. 1t
is difficult to believe that S. S.
Prentiss himself, whom he so
beautifully eulogizes, does not
have in him his counterpart.

PUBLISHED WITH OUR APOLOGIES.
vardaman's Coarse and Vulgar Refer
ence to Mrs. Roosevelt.

The Leader has received num-
Der of requests from its readers
who have heard of it, to publish
the coarse and vulgar allusion
made to Mrs. Roosevelt, Sr., by
Major James K. Vardaman, can
didate for Governor, in an edi-
torial published by him in his pa
per, The Greenwood Common
wealth, last winter. During the
more than 20 years it has been in
existence, there has never ap-
peared anything in The Leaders,
columns as ungentlemanly and in
decent as the Vardaman para
graph referred to, and we apollo
gize in advance to all of our read
ers for admitting it under any
pressure of circumstances. Here
it is:
sit is said that men follow the bent
of their genius, and that prenatal in
thoughts and ideas in after life. Prob
ably old lady Roosevelt, during the
period of CESSATION, was frightened by
dog, aud that fact may account for
the qualities of the male pup which
are so prominent in Teddy. I would
not do either an injustice, but am dis
posed to apologize to the dog for men
tioning it"
This paragraph was part of a
double Headed" editorial by Ma
jor Vardaman on the Indianola
postofice affair, published in the
columns of The Commonwealth
of Jan. 10, 1908, and, to our mind,
illustrates, as nothing else has
done, the extreme and unbalanced
character of the man. We execrate
and utterly condemn Roosevelt's
conduct in the Indianola affair
and despise his whole negro pol
icy, but nothing he has done or
might do, would justify such a
coarse and brutal allusion to his
mother, who was a Southern wo-
man and lady. No matter what
men may do, or what their politi-
cal sins, their female relatives are
entitled to immunity from criti-
cism and insult for their misdeeds.
A man who would deliberately
write and publish such para
graph as the above can never be
the Governor of great and proud
State. like this, and the chivalric
husbands, fathers and sons OF
Mississippi, whose respect and
reverence for women is akin to
their homage to Divinity, will SC
decree at the ballot box.

The Issue Clearly and Strongly Stated

Editor of News:-The PROPOSE
ton to open saloons because blind
tigers are not suppressed is, when
reduced to it's final analysis, a
proposition to acknowledge that
anarchy is supreme in jackson
and that the lawless are supreme,
so that the only thing left is to
surrender to them.
The proposition is humiliating
and involves the acknowledgment
that all of our efforts at educa-
tion and civil supremacy are a fail
ure, and should the proposition be
accepted it would mean that the
citizenship of Jackson proclaims
that they are powerless to enforce
the law, and therefore invite the
reign of lawlessness and the re-
moval of our educational institu-
tions to some other place where
the law is supreme and civiliza-
ton in the highest sense prevails.
1t would be a pity to have to re-
move Millsaps College just as it is
becoming a success and an educa-
tional quantity in Mississippi.
Yet this will be sure to follow
open saloons in jackson under the
admission that law cannot be en-
forced and that a condition of
lawlessness is unavoidable. The
issue is one of law against anar-
chy and the proposition to surren-
der the former is unworthy the
age, and a mournful confession of
the weakness of the moral condi-
ton in our midst, when the only
need is the due enforcement of
the law, or that unfaithful officers
give way to those who will see
that the law is impartially, stern
ly and fully enforced. What
shallit be, the open saloon and
anarchy, with the removal of our
schools, or law, order, education
and moral society?
w. T. BOWLING.
The above clearly states the
issue and is applicable to every
community in Mississippi where
the laws are not enforced.

Gov. Longino received an ova-
ton at Natchez last week where,
though his train was delayed an
hour in getting him to his ap-
pointment, the court house was
crowded with people to hear him.
His most telling blow was the
statement that all Federal appoint
ments of negroes to Office in this
State during Senator Moneys
membership in the Senate were
confirmed by the Senate without
protest by Senator Money who ex-
planned that he wanted to make the
Republican party odious to Mis-.
sissippi. Gov. Longino remarked
that it was strange a Senator
should wish to make the Republi-
can party odious in Democratic
Mississippi. The Governor was
rendered an ovation by the peo-
pie.

DR.. Rowan Wins His Suit.

jackson, June 81. = Captain
Frank Johnston, of this city,
who~was some time ago appointed
as special judge in the case of FL.
N. Lamb VS.. f. A. Rowan, in
volving the partnership in saw
mill, which was argued some time
ago, handed down his decision
this morning. The decision, en-
bracing fifty even pages, upholds
the contention of DIR. Rowan
that the business was a partner
ship, which Mr.. Lamb denied.
The decision of the lower court
was reversed and Lamb taxed
with two thirds of the costs,
while Rowan is taxed with one
third. The case is interesting
from the fact that. it has been in
the lower courts for a number of
years, and the record filed in the
Supreme Court was the large st
that has ever been filed with that
tribunal. The records in the
case were so bulky that they were
packed in a large dry goods box
and shipped by express. The
property in litigation is estimated
to be worth about $50, 900.

Major Vardaman and Senator
Money are eloquent speakers,
but they are not debaters not
ready speakers; in truth are deep
ly read, good writer's, hard stu
dents and with time to prepare
speech and with no one to answer
their remarks, words flow easily
and a beautiful speech is the re-
suit. But when an opponent be-
gins to show up the weakness in
their position they weaken.

LONGING AND MONEY.
A Wonderful Change Going on in Fa-
vor Of the Governor, Says
Neutral Editor.


vor Of the Governor, Says
Neutral Editor.
1t appears from this neck of
the woods that there is going to
be surprise in store for the peo-
pie of the State next August.
We have been watching the politi-
cal board with keen interest these
few months, and whether we are
pleased with all the moves or not,
they have been made, many of
them, and others are moving in a
direction that is a little surpris-
ing.
1t is no use trying to hide the
fact under half bushel measure
or any other measure, the truth
remains that Gov. LONGING is
gaining ground every day and
should he have complete walk
over at the August primary it
would not surprise those who have
been watching the campaign.
The Progress has never sup
ported either of the candidates,
but always tried to give the facts
as they occurred or as they APP
peared to the editor of the paper.
At the beginning Mr.. Money
was not only far ahead, but had
the election taken place then Mr..
LONGING would not have re-
ceived bakers dozen of the
votes, comparatively. 1t was thus
stated in this paper at the time,
but since then there has been a
wonderful change in the senti-
ment of the people and now it
looks like that Mr.. Money will
be defeated.
The only reason we can account
for this, if the statement is &C
cepted as a reason, is that MI.
Vardaman's negro issue has pull
ed down Mr.. Money along with
him. And Mr.. Longino is doing
some very effective work, in
helping these gentlemen to pull.
Everywhere he speaks, public
sentiment is changing rapidly.
He tells the people that Mr..
Money voted three times for the
confirmation of Minnie Cox as
postmistress at IndianoIa, and in
stead of LONGING, as the case has
been supposed heretofore, Mr..
Money was directly interested
in the making of Edgar Wilson
the Republican referee of Missis-
sippi. These assertions have been
made, if Mr.. Longino has been
correctly quoted, and they have
not been denied by Mr.. Money,
for the record is against him.
And as they have never been de-
MED and cannot be, wherever
Mr.. Money speaks the charges
are having a wonderful effect ia
vorable to the Governor.
Again, as stated, there is nc
doubt that Mr.. Vardaman is losing
ground. 1t is so reported by
every travelling man who visits
Hattiesburg and who has listened
to the discussion of politics dur
ing his travels over the State.
The Progress does not tell this
on its own accord, on its own
knowledge of the facts, but, like
Riley's account of the fight be-
tween the calico cat and the brown
jeans dog, we tell it as it was told
us. There has been a wonderful
change in political sentiment in
the State within the past two
months and nobody knows this
better than Mr.. Money and his
friends. 1t is not our fight, but
facts are facts, though they some
times make fellow feel very un-
comfortable. -Hattiesburg Prog

The Money and Vardaman
crowd are busy now trying to de-
ny that because they are kin folks
they would help one another. 1t
looks like Mr.. Money would like
to cut loose from Mr.. Vardaman.
1t is very unfortunate affair for
Mr.. Money that he backed up Mr..
Vardaman's platform. - Hatties-

A SONG OF DUTY.

A SONd UT Duty.
Sorrow comes and sorrow goes,
Life is flecked with shine and shower,
Now the tear of grieving flows,
Now we smile in happy hour;
Death awaits us, every one
Toiler, dreamer, teacher, writer
Let us then, ere life be done,
Make the world a little brighter!
Burdens that our neighbors bear
Easier let us try TO make them;
Chains, perhaps, our neighbors wear,
Let us do our best to break them.
From the Straitt ned brain and mind
Let us loose the binding fetter,
Let us, as the Lord designed,
Make the world little better!
Selfish brooding sears the soul,
Makes the heart nest of sorrows,
Darkening the shining goal
Of the Sun-illumined morrowS;
Wherefore should our lives be spent
Daily growing blind and binder?
Let us, as the Master meant,
Make the world little kinder
