of His Rash Remarks

War Department Takes Cogniznnce
of His Rash Remarks.
WASHINGTON, April 15.-The war
department has taken official cogni-
zance of the reported statements of
General Frank ID. Baldwin. command
er of the department of the Colorado,
in disparagement of the Filipinos and
negroes as soldiers.
Secretary Root has directed that
formal inquiry be addressed to General
Baldwin asking whether or not he had
been correctly quoted. Pending re-
ply no action will be taken by the de.
partment. General Baldwin is fresh
from the Philippines and has just as
sumed command of the department of
the Colorado.
The alleged remarks which he is re-
ported to have made We're to the effect
that one of his reasons for liking the
Filipino as a soldier was the same that
gave him preference for the negro in
the same capacity-that in fight he
was not worried about his safety, as
il did not make any difference whether
be got killed or not.

state Department to Probe Caroline
Islands Case.


WASHINGTON, April 15.-The state
department has asked the German
government for statement of the
facts connected with the deportation
from the island of Ruk to the island of
Ponape, another of the Caroline group,
of "A number of native students of the
American missionary establishment
there
The matter was brought to the atten-
ton of the state department formally
by the Rev. Dr. Judson Smith, secre-
tary of the American board of foreign
missions, in note reciting that these
students had been harshly treated ac-
cording to the accounts reaching him,
and asking that the state department
look after the welfare of the American
missionaries in that quarter and see
that their work was not needlessly in
terrupted.
DR.. Smith knows nothing himself of
the facts but is simply acting upon
statements that come to him from the
missionaries on the island.

To every thinking man in the state,
no matter what may be his preiudices,
the candidacy of Judge Critz and Sena-
tor Noel Is really ridiculous. No one
questions the right, of course, of both
or either OF the gentlemen to office.
The fact is that both have practically
been Office holders in minor positions
from the time they reached an age per-
hitting them to qualify, but this does
not signify that either is endowed with
requisite qualifications, nor does their
records commend them as tit for the
highest position in the states admins
tration.
Senator Noel has never been distin-
guished for his ability, aver as a legis-
latOr, though he has long been conspic.
uOus as q member Of the legislature,
and has used that position to the best
Of his ability to bring himself before the
people with a view Of something bet
ter. None Of the laws Of the state
upon which the people can point with
pride especially, bear his name or are
traceable to his handiwork. He claims
the authorship Of the present Primary
Law, but this win probably kick back
on him with a lusty jar when it Is final
ly put to the practical test. Already
some Of the best informed men Of the
state have denounced Il in unmeasured
terms. II lie certainly very imperfect.
Judge Critz, who has been doomed
by his ~''sheeney'' promoter as 3 great
and wise business man, does not bear
the light Of honest exposure even in
this role. From a business standpoint
he has in reality never blOomed even In
the spring time Of his manhood. had
he not been on the salary roll Of the
Judiciary Of the state for years, it is al
together probable that be would have
been compelled, like many Of as. to
toll or starve. AS q pensioner Of the
state he developed a little cunning in
the way Of SHILLING himself as q lob
lest, and when his partner, Judge Deck
cit, was employed to prosecute an inn
portant "a against the railroads for
back taxes, Judge Ortiz found his sdn
as lobiest handy in preventing the
legislature from compromising the suit,
and long, expensive litigation followed,
and q snug chunk Of money finally
dumped itself into bis pocket because
OF his partnership. This was more
money than the Judge had ever dreamed
Of possessing, and he forthwith erec-
ted for himself the finest mansion in
West Point, and turned the remainder
Of the fund into the bands Of his polit-
ical promoter, q Hebrew named Col.
Levy whose life has been given to po-
litical scheming along the water lined
streets Of New York City, as a candi.
date for Governor Of Mississippi.
Okolona messenger. (Okolona, Miss.) 1900-current, 1903-07-01

Senator E. F. Noel spoke to a fair
sized audience of city people at the
court house Saturday night, making
his humorous attempt to csptivate the
ladies'. Before he had concluded how
ever, a large number who had failed to
become interested in his talk. had
quietly taken their departure, 90 that
his close could not be listed as an IVA
ton following enthusiastic interest
in his candidacy.
The Senator was tired from a lOng
ride here after speaking ct Houston in
the morning, and perhaps did not DO
himself justice, yet he bore his fatigue
well, probably being in training for that
which promises a certain disastrous
close Of his campaign within a few
weeks.
The fact is that the senator has never
been seriously considered as a possi-
bility for Governor In these parts, and
but little enthusiasm could be worked
up for him when he finally reached
this city to speak. He is = pleasant
gentlemen, but it requires no genious
to decide that he is not in the class
Of men who are likely to become great
Z leaders or ven renown Statesmen.
This city has been hOnOred IN tie day
BY sperkers Of renown, and It looks
back TO the ovatiOns given them In a
cool, but elf-appladded manner calcu-
lated to make an audience restless
when 1t becomes apparent that 9
speaker has nothing new to offer, and
only grinds over some Of the more
common place plstitudes offered by the
aspirsnt for Office whose estimation of
his own Importance has been put on
edge by the tarts Of tasting 4 piece Of
public counter pie.
Monday night Judge Critz came. at
ter being we'll advertised, and spending
the day in the county, and spoke in the
court house to about fifty white people
and probably as many negroes. For an
hour he spoke in his mild way, presum.
eddy more to fill his appointment than
to attempt to justify bis attitude before
the state as a candidate. It soon be-
came ap~parentsto the few hearers, that.
while Judge Sritz may be a pleasant
gentleman, And q nice man, as the or
binary acceptation goes, he was never
intended for a great man, one to rise to
the topmost ladder Of recognition By his
people and to lead them in paths Of
grandeur and wisdom. Judge Critz in
his own personalities is not Of an often
slve character nor 3 forcible one. He
is rather pleasant and afiable, but he
finds it difficult to interest an audience
who expects naturally from a who as
4 pires TO the highest position officially
within the gift Of his state, something
more than q smile.
Okolona messenger. (Okolona, Miss.) 1900-current, 1903-07-01

The fact that Judge Critz possesses
neither the force of character nor
qualities of greatness requisite in one
called to so high a position, IS neither
discouraging nor potent with a mar of
the Levy stripe, and the attempt is
made to deceive the masses into the be
lief that Judge Critz is the man Of all
men who should be selected for this i'm
portant place.
Elaborate headquarters are estab-
hshed at West Point. from which the
most glazing literature is sent broad
cast, and an. army Of strikers are salar-
led to travel over the state and talk
loud about the wonderful enthusiasm
for the Judges candidacy.
But the people are not fools. The
Judge comes along and makes q speech.
There is absolutely nothing in 1t to
impress the most easily satisfied
that the Judge Is a great man. His
arguments lack fierce and attrac.
tiVeness. His speech falls fat, for the
people have heard a statesman speak
who is 3 candidate for this honorable
and important position, and the charm
Is hard to break.
The cold, practical, unalloyed fact is
that neither Noel nor Critz can inspire
the people with their Importance, be-
cause they do. not posses IL in any
degree calculated to cause them to
stand out prominently among their
fellOwmen. Every day they remain in
the anvas the stronger grows the
gentleman they would do almost any
thing to defeat, because he is the peo-
pies choice.
10 this particular section such COM
ments rs these are entirely unneces
sary, because the voters are practically
unanimous for the gallant Major who
has ~engrafted himself in the affections
Of the county and state. We simply
indulge the pleasure of commenting.
because it is the custom Of the hour
and because the readers expect some
thing of the kind whether necessary or
not.
Again let Us remark that Major Var
daman will carry Chickasaw county
practically unanimous, and the state Of
Mississippi, as q whole is not seriously
dissimilar TO Chickasaw caunty.
