Bible i'm schools supported by public
taxes.
1t cannot be said that the ban of the
church has been placed over the public
schools, but it is a fact that Catholic
parents have been warned that they
would be untrue to their duty to send
their children to the Charlotte graded
schools under existing conditions. 1t is
held that it is unfair to compel Catholic
children to listen to a translation of the
Bible which is at variance with that au-
thorized by the Catholic Church.

in every citizen of the State. No
reasonable man can successfully
attack the perfect propriety of
his act.
Now, then, as to the warning
which our neighbor holds up as
a sort of sword of Damocles over
the head of Senator McEnery
for daring to do that which was
plainly his right and which he
did with proper respect and pro-
priety. It calls his attention to
the fact that Senator McLaurin
of Mississippi announced him
self in favor of Judge Critz in
the late primary there and the
people defeated Judge Critz and
elected Major Vardaman. Our
neighbor declares that but for
their resentmento of the attempted
dictation of Senator McLaurin,
Judge Critz would have been
elected.
We pass by the implied refec-
ton upon the intelligence of the
democratic electorate of MiSsis-
sippi in thus picturing them as
sacrificing both Judgment and in
terest in order to rebuke a Sena-
tor whom they had just nomin-
ated by a unanimous vote, be-
cause that is too puerile to at
tract discussion. We shall pro-
coed to the facts in the case.
Our neighbor only quoted one
half of the fac ts-that side of it
which it could strain into a SEM
blance of support of its absurd
position and totally ignored the
pertinent facts which absolutely
demolish it's contention.
Senators McLaurin and Money
were both nominated in the first
primary, but two of the candi-
dates for Governor-Critz and
Vardaman-had to run in the
second primary, neither having
received a majority in the first
one. In the second primary
Senator McLaurin, in a pu blished
statement in the press, openly
advocated Judge Critz's nomina-
ton. Senator Money, in an
even more emphatic interview,
publicly declared for Major Var
daman. Vardaman was elected.
These are the facts in the case,
and in the face of these facts
what, we inquire, becomes of the
Times logic? Will
our neighbor assert that the
democrats of Mississippi re-
buked Senator McLaurin for
taking sides in the fight, and
then in the very same election
and by the identical vote, COM
mended and indorsed Senator
Money for doing the same thing?
AS an instance of an illustration
that positively refuses to illus
trate anything save the utter
absurdity of it's own attitude
commend US to the TimeS-DemO-
Gratis lucubrations on Senator
McEnery's telegram.

States.


States.
Democrats throughout the
State doubtless read with sur
prise the suggestion in the lead
ding editorial in the Times-Dem-
ocrat yesterday morning that
the man who holds a public
Office should consider himself
not entitled to express opinions
upon current political issues.
or to advise others upon such
issues. At the Monroe Demo-
crat meeting on Saturday,
Senator McEnery, who had been
invited to speak there, sent a
telegram to the chairman of the
meeting in which he regretted
his inability to be present and
strongly indorsed the candidacy
of Mr.. Blanchard and Senator
Foster.
According to the remarkable
logic of our esteemed morning
neighbor this was altogether
reprehensible and it took occa-
sion to read the senior Senator
from Louisiana a severe lecture
upon the improperly and evil of
his course, which it designates
as an attempt to dictate" to
somebody how they should vote.
1t will be difficult to impress this
view of the case upon the mind
of any thinking man in Louisi-
ana. The Times-Democrat al
most daily has communications
from parties who urge the peo-
pie to vote against Blanchard and
Foster, but it sees no impro-
priety in that. According to
the logic of our neighbor, it
would appear that 'dictation"
from anonymous correspondents
to the people is entirely proper,
but United States Senator has
no right to express an opinion
or a preference.
Since when, we should like to
inquire, has it been considered
that gentleman in taking pub
lie Office surrenders ipsO facto
all opinions upon public issues
and all rights to express a pre-
ference for public candidates?
BY what law, statutory or ethical,
can the allegation be sustained
or defended that the acceptance
of a public Office places a muzzle
upon the mouth of United
States Senator and converts
him virtually into a political
eunuch? By what process of
reasoning can such an absurd
contention for a single moment
be maintained? We should be
pleased to have our neighbor de-
fine the mental processes by
which it arrived at such con-
clusion and the logical princi-
pies upon which it is based. AS
a matter of fact, custom in all
ages and among all peoples has
designated for high public sta
ton men who are leaders of the
people, men whose opinions on
all public questions are deemed
valuable. The very fact that a
man is advanced to such an hon
orable station as that of United
States Senator presupposes that
he is possessed of the high qua
lities of leadership and that his
opinions on political questions
are due to the people who so
honored him and will be received
with due Difference
In addition to being a Senator,
Mr.. McEnery is citizen of
recognized Demo-
cratic leader and qualified
voter. AS such he has right to
his opinion and to as much lib
erty of political thought and &C
ton as the editor of the Times
Democrat or any other citizen of
By virtue of the fact
that he has long been a Senator
at Washington he is peculiarly
fitted to advise his fellow-demo-
Gratis as to the standing and in
duence of his present colleague
in that body, and in a campaign
