f. A. CRITZ.

There is no better man in Missls-
sippi politics today than Judge F. A.
Critz. His life has been a model
one. He has been SO far above the
low and little things that even his
political enemies and he has no
other kind-have never accused him
of any thing little or mean.
The greatness of the man was seen
in his open letter to Mr.. Fox. 1t
was as kind and tender as a mothers
letter to wayward son, but pointed
as unerringly to his purpose as the
needle to the pole. Few men In
Mississippi today could have written
such letter under such circnm-
stances. Men who have been
wronged almost always pay back in
kind, and we expected Critz and adj
vised him to do Fox one, and when
the answer came we caught the
spirit of the man and felt ashamed
of what we had thought and said
pay and there are few men who are
men enough to do it. Judge Critz
is n devout Christian and he carries
his religion even into politics. We
have heard Judge Critz speak many
q time and have never yet heard
him use one word which could not
have been used with propriety i'm the
presence of an audience of Missls-
sippi women. If CrItz was elected
governor his influence for the right
would be felt throughoutthe state.
We believe it is high time when
moral men should be called to high
places. 1t is stereoiyped form OF
