filing q protest. It would, therefore,
be logical to infer that the people of
lndianola cherish more bitter feeling
toward the president than any other
town in the state, to which the Toe
sin editorially says:
Senator Money utterance while
in Memphis the other day that he
hoped Roosevelt would not visit Mis-
sissippi on his southern tour, was
certainly uncalled for, indiscreet, and
a slam against that southern chivalry
always extended to welcome stranger
within her gates.
I'VE people OF lndianola have no
particular desire to see the president,
as he can have no desire to visit our
city; but, however much he has
wronged and maligned US in the past,
he would be given hearty welcome,
and would be just as safe as in the
white house, should he honor us with
visit.
Such utterances as Senator Mon
ey's tend to form an idea in the minds
of the people at a distance that we
have lost the generous spirit that
characterized this section in the early
days of the century,

TWENTY SIX HOMICIDES
STATE LAST WEEK.

During the week now closing there
have been twenty six homicides in
Mississippi, which eclipses any record
that has been made in the state for
several months. and equals the weekly
record of the year.
Sunfiower county gets the credit. or
dIscredit, for six of these killings
which occurred within two days, and
Kinds county has three hom:cides
charged against her, one being of a
Justifiable nature. Simpson county
has two and the rest are scattered
over the state.
1t is a statement that admits no
dispute that Mississippi's criminal
record this year has been something
horrible to contemplate, and exceeds
by far any record in previous years
since the days of reconstruction.
In some counties, especially where
large negro population exists, the
inhabitants seem to have a homici-
DIAL mania, and human life has become
so cheap that men are murdered on
the public roads and city highways
without a pang of conscience or fear
of the future.

TOADYISM

The toadyism of the sycophants in
the south who are subscribing to a
fund to pay the tariff on the presents
made to Alice Roosevelt while she
was abroad amounting to about sixty
thousand dollars-is exceedingly dis
gushing. She, as others, appreciate
their subscriptions at their proper
estimate, as the gifts of toadies; and
the only difference between her re-
spect, or disrespect, rather, for them
and for other toadies is that they are
toadying to her. There are many
charitable objects near home upon
which these moneys could be bestowed.
