Stand by the Governor.

| There are some offences which
mock show OF courtesy cannot wipe
ont and which to resent is not all as
sault upon courtesy. The highest mark
of gentility is to be seen in the pre-
| dccency and this is not to be found
in that character which considers it
the right thing to condone a wrong
| and an insult, when the only repara-
ton made is an expression of praise
! for this or that act. Under the law,
in the abstract, all violators are
! equal, regardless of the offense COM
mtted, all stand alike under the ban
, OF an outraged law but in the consid-
Grafton Of the penalty of such, the
law changes and guagcs the punish
mcnt to be inflicted. So in the COM
mon every day experiences OF lie
there are offenses which, serving on
" to prick and wound the vanity, are
easily forgotten and quickly forgiven;
b,t when the offense is one which
breaks through and attacks the char
acter of the individual or individuals
as in the case of State or people,
there is more required to smooth the
fulfilled feathers, to heal the wound,
than an idle compliment or show
of good feeling. There are those who
essay to declare that Governor Var
daman should have accepted for his
people, as sweetened morsel, the
alleged expression of from Roosevelt
that he was pleased with the Missis-
sppi exhibit, and gratilied that the
State had taken so prominent part
in the Exposition. Wrong from every
standpoint of a self respecting execu-
tive. representing a self respecting
people. Now If there is anything on
earth which an honorable gentleman
and high toned people despise and
resent it is to be patronized, and
when that comes from one who has
been dillgent in nAicting ndignities
and Haunting insults the offense is
more exaspcrating and lasting Is
there an intelligent man who reads
this who does not know deep down in
his heart that this accredited express
sion Of President Roosevelt was pat
ronage. pure and simple. and OF the
most insulting character, when all the.
circumstances of his treatment of the
people of the State are considered?
Missisippians, and we mean the real
article. the bone and sinew of the
morals and the civilization Of the
State and not the milksop despots
who are so poisoned with CONNER
cialism as to count no principal of
anv worth unless it provokes the dol
lar desire naught of President Roose-

Welt, they care naught for his opinion,
and htey are far from wanting or &C
cepting his tender of patronage from
his mighty pinnacle of fame. The crit
les of Governor Vardaman can see no
offense in President Roosevelt's in
suting refusal to even listen to the
protest OF Mississppi's gifted son, the
aged and feeble Jefferson Davis,
against cruel and 'heartless lander,
because forsooth the President of the
nation; but profess to regard as high
crimes and misdemeanors Governor
Vardaman's spurning to fawn upon
the assaulter of old men and SANDER
of the Southern people. You tell MS
that this great and proud people are
to endorse such principals? Perish
the thought. The people of Missis-
sippip will stand by Governor Varda-
man because he is right. because in
the course he has pursued he has pro-
tected the honor and self respect of
the State and preserved his own self
respect as their chef executive.-Bi-

Roosevelt not Accustomed to ii.

Roosevelt visited every building in
the exposition, representing a State
or nation, and said something's nice
about each, and the president Of the
exposition, ex Governor Francis
telegraphed the. compliment to each
Governor and sovereign. Governor
Vardaman. who generally says what
he thinks just as soon as he thinks
it. did not couch his reply in as COM
plmentary terms as Presidents are
accustomed to hear from their cour-
tiers. and dealt in illusions too near
the borderland of truth to be palpa-
Bile to some folks, and so they are Sc
verely criticising him down at the
State capitol.-Abderdeen Examiner.
The Greenville times. [volume] (Greenville, Miss.) 1868-1917, 1904-12-10
Much Ado About NOTHING.

No one expected that the politieaA
and personal enemies of Governor
Vardaman would commend him for
his outspoken reference to Roose-
welt, in his telegram to President
Francis, and it may be assumed that
the Governor is making no apologies
to them or anyone else for his at
titude in the matter. The
Commonwealth thinks that most of the
criticism that has been made against
the Governor has been manufactured
by his political and personal enemies,
and that the majority of the people
of Mississippi will endorse him.

MR.. LEoUIME's STATEMENT
Does Not Want NayIor G. Norlin to
Have Further Work

In relation to the sewer scandal Mr..
Lequime was approached this morning
by a Teller reporter who asked him
for a statement to his position. He
did not wish to have anything to say
concerning the matter but when
pressed said:
II have nothing to say for the public
in relation to the charges made.
will be able to clear myself when the
proper time comes. The full investi-
cation of the sewer scandal will bring
out the facts for the public 1t was
my intention to resign whenever the
contract was let to Naylor & Norlin
for the Clearwater extension of the
sewer. as I don't think. in view of the
manner in which they have done their
work on the hill, that they are en-
titled to any further work from the
city.
II don't consider the attempt to send
Haight to the penitentiary to be con-
ducive to the best interests of the city
as he is the best witness the city has
on their side, except the silent wit
ness, the sewer"

Norlin were in the front part OF the
office, Mr.. Leon lie Quime came into
the office and asked them If they were
going to put in a bid on the sewer
contract. Mr.. Naylor replied they
were. Mr.. lie Quime asked them if 1t
would not be better for them to take
$500 or 81 900 than to take chances of
making on it. Mr.. LIE Quime then said
that If they would give the other par
ties 81, 900 each they could put In bid
and make 50 for every 81 they paid
out. Mr.. Naylor said that they could
not afford to go into any such arrange
