of them.
He says that. he will have the garden
clear in a few days more, and Commissioner

EXPOSING q Sham.

The plain truth of the matter is
that however much Roosevelt may
be despised for his arbitrary act in
closing the lndianola office, there is
no shadow of doubt that Wilson Is
responsible for it, and the blame
should rest where it belongs. This
republican referee and personal po-
litical advisor to the governor occu-
pies a unique position in the political
life of the nation shared by no other
individual. He dispenses all the
federal patronage Of the state, and
at the same time lie is credited with
being the power behind the throne
in dealing out democratic pie in
Mississippi. Renee we have the
spectacle of one individual con-
trolling the distribution of both the
republican and democratic patron
age of the same state. Wilson
should be placed in his true light
before the people of Mississippi. He
has for years posed as the oracle of
good morals and lofty citizenship,
but his own career and his attitude
towards his own people is sufficient
to damn him in the eyes of all
decent people, and what he may say
in his newspaper writings in future
will have little infiuence.-YaZoo
