The leader. [volume] (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1895-1905, 1903-03-11

by the State in the Governors
chair in a time Of serious peril.
In his speech Mr.. Fox advances
no new argument against the posi-
ton occupied by Major Vardaman
on the race question which has not
already been fully compassed by
Messrs. Noel and Critz, nor is
there any other reason that we can
discover why he should take pre-
cedence in the public favor over
either of these gentlemen, who,
according to our judgment and
knowledge of the men, will lose
nothing by comparison with Mr..
Fox from any view point. :.
Mr.. Fox's candidacy is a mis-
take. Not only has he created an
unfavorable impression among
air-minded and impartial men by
jumping into the political arena
and antagonizing a fellow towns
man, friend and brother lawyer,
an honorable and worthy gentle
man, already in the field, but he
has also somehow allowed himself
to be deceived into believing that
he is political Moses, called upon
to meet an emergency that does
not actually exist. If he has not yet
discovered his mistake, the most
inordinate vanity will not prevent
his doing so before the campaign
is over.

HON. A. F. FOX'S CANDIDACY.

Hon. A. F. Fox opened his
campaign for Governor at Biloxi
last Saturday night. Mr.. Fox
insisted that he had been induced
to become a candidate in response
to appeals from the bench, pulpit
and the pillow handles, and de-
nounced the charge, repeatedly
made, that he was a candidate of
any faction or particular clique of
politicians. He emphasized this
denial by adding: ANY state
ment that Edgar Wilson has ever
said or done anything which in
duced my candidacy is a lie as
black as the heart of the man who
invented it or the man who inspir-
ed it."
While The Leader is not among
those who have laid any such
charges as the above at Mr.. Fox's
door we are frank to confess that
we have never been favorably i'm
pressed by his belated candidacy.
entirely aside from any question
of this character. Somehow, we
fail to realize that Mississippi is
on the verge of some awful politi,
cal crisis, and that by one misstep.
such as failing to recognize Mr.,
Fox as her Moses and electing hin
Governor, she will go headlong tc
disaster and woe, like an ill-guid
ed toboggan down a treacherous
slide. We have known Mr.. Fo1
in a public way a long time, anC
while we know nothing to his dis
credit as q gentleman, a lawyer Of
a politician, we have failed to not
anything in his career which
marks him as man of transcend
ing greatness, genius or statesman

Judge J.H Neville is presiding
at the trial of the Attala county
lynchers, objection having been
made to Judge Stevens, by coun-
sci for the defendants, on the ale
cation that he was preiudiced.
Judge Stevens denied this, but
preferred to get another judge,
rather than take any chances of
the case being reversed by the
Supreme court, if the lynchers are
convicted. There are 10 men to
be tried on the charge, and they
were indicted for lynching two ne
groes in Attala county last sum-
mer for a comparatively trivial
ofense.

WORTHY OF ISpAEL'S NAME.

One or the DraVeSt and nODleSt
things we have seen in a long
while is plea made by Jewish
Rabbi of Port Gibson in behalf of
widowed Gentle mother of that
town, who is under shadow, and
her two orphan children, a boy
and girl. From Rabbi Raj
sins appeal to the Port Gibson
BOARD of education and other citi-
zens of that town, as published in
the last issue of the Reveille, it
seems that because of certain re-
ports of evil fame about the moth
err, the truth of which does not
appear, her two children have a
second time been ostracised by the
school authorities, and refused the
rights and privileges of the public
school, to which, under the law,
they are clearly entitled.
Following is the closing portion
of Rabbi Raisin's eloquent appeal,
which speaks for itself:
Poor as the widowed mother is
she paid from her pittance to the
lawyers to espouse her cause. The
trial lasted for weeks and months
while her orphans are meanwhile
unlearning the little knowledge
they acquired and are imbibing
all that is bad. She won her suit
in the courts of our State.
The children ioyfully went to
school. But alas! ''for mans
inhumanity to manl'' On that
very day a meeting was held, and
in that very school the law was
openly and avowedly broken in
broad day light, in sight of the
pupils present, and back the little
orphans with, tears on their cheeks,
were sent to their home!
Can we expect our little ones,
who witnessed the scene, to have
any regard for the majesty of the
law when they grow up to be men
and women? Can we hope that
they will be kind and just, if such
is the treatment we accord to
some of them in the very place
where, if no where else, all ought
to be equal? But this is not yet
the worst. The little, ostracized
orphans will, in the natural state
of things, soon claim the rights of
citizenship. Ten years hence and
the little boy will cast the ballot
and the little girl may influence
somebody's vote. Ignorance leads
to sin and crime. Will we then
have reason to be proud of such
citizens who were left in darkness
by our unjust prejudice? Will
not their blood be upon our heads
and the heads of our children?
If these words of mine, how
ever, coming though they do from
an unselfsh and unbiased mind,
find no Judgment in your hearts,
will not the deans or presidents
of the G.. H. A. and the P. e. F.
c.. do something in their behalf?
You, sirs, are at the head of insti-
buttons which are under the aus
pices of religious bodies, to one of
which the poor widow belongs.
Will you not act by her in the
spirit of the great founder of your
religion? Will you not suffer the
little children to come to your
schools as He suffered them to
come to Him? My position pre-
cludes me from undertaking the
education of those orphans without
some, though God knows how un-
founded, suspicion on your part
"a suspicion which in case of
emergency | will be bound to dis
regard and discard. But will you
not, upon whom the duty prima-
rily belongs, treat them like Chris
tians and brothers?
All praise to Rabbi Jacob S.
Raisin for his brave words and
noble sentiments He is worthy
