In exercising the discretion
given him by law the Postmaster
General frequently rejects names
suggested for proposed post
offices. He has never been
clearer as to his duty than in this
case.
1t is proper to say that Pres
ident Roosevelt had no knowledge
of the incident referred to-"
Gov. Vardaman denies that his
article reflected upon the Pres
ident's mother, and says that he
is not responsible for the con-
struction placed upon it by his
enemies and prosecutors. In
addition he said:
I have never in all my life
written or said anything deroga-
tory to or that reflected upon the
fair name of the good mother of
Roosevelt, or any good woman.
l am not responsible for what
the cam mpaign liars ascribed to
me during the campaign in
Mississippi last year, and I pro-
test against being misrepre-
sented. All that I have ever
written or said about the an
.cestOrs of the said Theodore
Roosevelt was in defense of said
ancestors against the unjust
charge of responsibility for the
moral and racial degeneracy of
the accidental occupant Of the
White House, whose conduct, if
persisted IN in the Vardaman
postoffice matter, demonstrates
his infinite IittlenesS. F"

The Association starts with
bright prospects, there being
fully one hundred members now
enrolled. Little trouble is being
met with by the secretary in
collecting the initiation fees and
there is little doubt but that in a
few weeks they will have a fully
equipped gymnasium.
Friday night the association
met again to hear the report of
the committees and to ascertain
the result of the canvass that
had been partially made for the
the collection of initiation fees.
AS was stated nothing definite
could be decided until it was as
certained that sufficient money
could be placed in the treasury
to place the association on a firm
basis. The treasurer reported
$3.50 collected since the last
meeting and a small number of
the members to see. The build
ing committee reported that a
suitable room could be secured
on North Market street above
the Sherrod Hardware Co. The
committee appointed to secure
estimates on a frst-class gymna-
sium read a lumber of com muni-
cations from firms dealing in
gymnasium equipments but ac-
tion on these was deferred
until it was ascertained that the
mem bers would pay their initia-
tion dues. The officers and
directors of the association are
taken from the leading business
men of the city and will be care
full that sufficient funds are i'm
the treasury before any move
is made to purchase an equip
ment. The Association adjourn
ed to meet rgain when the collect
ors had secured $500.

The STREET RAILWAY.

Mayor Gunter is to be congrat-
ulated upon the outcome of his
efforts to promote a street rail
way. A less resolute, per
sistent and resourceful man
would have become discouraged
which appeared in the way Of
this enterprise, but the present
Mayor hammered away until all
difficulties were overcome, all
contentious harmOnized and the
franchise was granted upon
terms and conditions which are
equitable, fair and jnst, both to
the people and the company.
The forfeit is small but it will
act as an incentive to those who
have acquired the franchise for
them TO carry out their part of
the contract The franchise re
quires that work shall begin
by Christmas and that three
miles of track shall be laid and
in operation within one year.
Three miles of track is small
amount but it is a beginning,
and that's what we all desire to
see, feeling confident that the
extensions necessary for com
plete service will follow.
The car line will be another
step towards Greater Columbus.

GETS BACK AT THE GOVERNOR

There will be no postoffice in
Mississippi named Vardaman.
Z This great government has said
so. Although a number of cit
izens of Calhoun county petitioned
the Postoffice Department to
name an Office after Mississippi's
chief executive the department
has declined to do so on the
ground that the Governor had
reflected upon the President s
mother in an editorial published
in the Commonwealth last year.
The editorial in question was
made much of in the campaign
against the Governor last year.
In denying the petition of the
citizens the Postmaster General
takes occasion to say:
On the 9th day of May, 1904.
a petition was filed with the de-
partment asking for the estab-
Hshment of a postoffice at GER
tain point in Calhoun county, in
the State of Mississippi, and re
questipg that it be named Varda-
man.
mediately the usual inves
tigation made by the department
as to the necessity for the estab-
lishment of the Office was under
taken. Pending the inquiry, a
copy of the Daily Clarion-Ledger,
a newspaper published at Jack
son, Miss, dated August %,
1903, was fled with the depart
ment, containing an article to
which the departments atten-
tion was called. This article was
a copy Of an editorial printed in
the Commonwealth under date
tf Jan. 10, 1908, which paper was
published and edited by Gov
ernor Vardaman. The article in
question was SO vile and indecent
in its statement concerning the
mother of the President of the
United States as to be unfit for
reproduction. The Postmaster
General did lot esteem it proper
10 give a postoffice the name Oh
any man who had used such Ian
guage regarding any woman.
Tie postoffice in question has
bt ten ordered established and
given the name of Timberville.
