Senator H. D. Money.

The following tribute the distinguished
Mississippi Senator, from the pen of a
special correspondent Of the Washington
Times, will meet with the hearty ell
dorsement of the many supporters of
Senator Money in this county
One of the features of the extra session
of the Senate was the speech OF Senator
fernando D. Money on the race Dues
ton, and it has occasioned a great deal
OF discussion in political and social
circles. 1t was a plain, candid, even
blunt, statement Of the Southern view of
an old question, which recent events
have made new, and which, so far az the
cotton states are concerned, must ever
be vital. Mr.. Money does not pose as
an orator. He does not deal in rhetoric.
He never resorts to defamation. There
is nothing furious in his speech. He is
calm, dispassionate, and earnest, and
commands the respect of both sides of
the chamber.
WHERE LONG SERVICE COUNTS.
There are twelve senators from the
New England States. and of these six
have a combined service in the Senate of
1913 years. Five of them have served in
the House of Representatives., in which
their combined service was thirty-six
years. Thus the average service of these
six individuals III the national councils is
twenty-nine years. Is it matter OF
wonder that New England exercises so
great influence on national policies
This is q lesson for the South to learn
A man with the genius OF the late Sena-
tor Lamar. and the industry of the pres
emit Senator Morgan, would have to
serve a novitiate in tbs Senate. Take
the case of Senator Gorman He was
six years III the Senate before the coun-
try ever heard of him, yet the other day
he became leader of the minority for the
reason that he was eighteen years a
Senator. The South should not persist
in changing her representatives in the
Senate SO frequently, thus depriviig her
self of the advantages that must ever at
tend experience. What discipline is to
the soldier experience is to the states
man.
IN HIS INTELLECTUAL PRIME.
Senator Money is now in his intel
lectual prime. He is a native Mississip-
plan, is Southern to the marrow, was
educated in Southern school, has the
habits of Southern gentleman; his
mind forges Southern thoughts, and his
heart is pregnant with Southern senti-
ments. He loves the land that was his
fathers; its waters, it's trees, it's flowers
He loves the Southern sun that makes
the Southern climes. He was a Confed-
crate soldier and gave his services for the
Southern cause.
In 1874 Mr.. Money was editor of a
country newspaper in the third Con-
gressional district. 1t was in the dark
days of reconstruction, when govern
ment was confscation and politics was
nightmare.

was organized in the third district and
Democratic convention was held to nom
mate candidate for Congress. It as
ksembled at West Point, Clay county
and was representative of the intelli
gencc, the property, and the excellence o
the State.
After the organization OF the body and
the adoption of a Democratic platform
nominations for Congress were in order
1t appeared a hopeless venture and MI
the older mex declined. At last Judge
Jarnigan, a venerable aiid a veteran
lawyer, suggested that it was young
mans fight, and he asked why not draft
d young man into the service.
NOMINATED FOR CONGRESS.
"There is Captain Money" he said,
''lct us make him our candidate. He
was brave soldier and is capable
man. Let us nominate Captain Money"
No sooner was it said than it was done.
Money accepted in speech that gave
confidence to every delegate. He made
thorough canvass, was triumphantly
elected, and became member of the
Forty-fourth Congress. Subsequently
he served two other terms in the Nation
al House of Representatives, and then
became the successor of the Hon. lanes
T. George i'll the Senate.
STRONG DEBArER.
While Senator Money IL not the great
jurist Senator George was, he is very
strong debater. His kno wledge is varied
and extensive. He has read many books
and he has digested much useful learning
That has made him strong in debate.
He has at instant command great stores
of acquired knowledge, and he employs
it without resort to written speeches
that reek with midnight oil. Possibly
it was in the Fifty-second Congress that
he engaged with some Northern Republi-
can members in sudden and informal
discussion of the negro at the South and
his status in the State. There was no
flourish i'll Moneys speech-no strain tor
effect, no pose for applause.
And so in his speech in the Senate.
Spooner and Foraker, two of the hest
debaters ON the Republican side, piled
him with questions, and sought to tempt
him to Incorporate and ihdiscrect utter
ances, but it was without avail. He was
dignifed, courteous, and emincntly Sem
atorial. He was not seeking to make
political capital. He was attempting to
make Northern eyes see what every
Southern eye sees.
The speech had an excellent effect.
Northern Senators have complimented it
highly, and they were sorry that circuni-
stances were such that Senator Money
was unable to make an exhaustive dis
cussion of the question. He had just re
turned from burying an idolized daugh-
ter, and his own health was not robust,
and thus it was under difficulties that
one OF the most effective speeches that
has come from Southern Senator in
years was made.

number of important questions as to
the rights of men are involved. and
prospective jurors are required to
answer the following questions salts
factoriIy before they are accepted:
do YOU believe that all men are by
nature free and independent, and have
certain inherent and inalienable
rights-among these are life. liberty
and the pursuit of happiness and
that no person shall he deprived of
life. liberty or property without due

do YOU believe that labor * pro-

right to sell his labor as any other
property owner
Have you any prejudice or feeling
against the man who takes the place
of "A striker and works for a company
when the men are out on a striker
DO Won believe that in this country
every owner of property may work it
a. he WILL by whom he pleases. at
such wages and upon such terms as
he can make; and that every laborer
may work or not as he sees fit. for
