From Chicago Daily News.
To people north OF Mason and Dix

One day no figures prominently in the
press throughout the country as a
reckless fre-eater. blatantly abusing
President Roosevelt and loudly de-

Vardaman views Of the race problem.
The following day he may be found fac

ously demanding that they abide by the
law and exerting every ounce OF infiu-
ence that his Office gives him in efforts
TO protect the mob's victim. This week

the kind. There seems to be no doubt
that the negro who was sought by the
lynchers at Jackson. Miss, bad been

Vardaman not only instructed the sher-

Keep the peace. That -the lyucher Is
alive to-day probably is due to the
governors courageous and determined
action.
Any Judgment which does not take
into account both phases of Varda-
mans character is evidently one-sided
and misleading. His friends explain
that the reason for his repeated af-
fronts to the President is a read con-
viction that the Roosevelt policy looks
toward social equality" for THE races
This equality. I'm Vardaman's view
would be a source OF infinite danger not
only to white supremacy but to the
cause OF free government. While the
north can hardly be expected to justify
his reactionary views on various phases
OF the race question or condone the Wit

forth, Il Is fair to recognize that when

THE MAN OF SCIENCE.

worth while in the world
Who knows anything about Isadore
Dyer2 Who ever heard the manner He

spending his life IN treating the iepers

Is the possibility Of the physician him

work, and day by day labors with the

months ago this claim was made, and
we are told in positive terms, not only
that ieprosy can be cured but that it
has been cured.
This is the sort OF work that requires
men Of heroic mold. II is greater
glory to have cured this awful disease

than to wear any crown the earth

LETTERS FROM
THE PEOPLE
FEES INSTEAD OF SALARY.

Editor Of The Evening Journal.
siri 1 read your editorial in yesterdays
issue in which you advocate putting tho
Court House officials on a salary instead
of part salary and part fees.
Since the publication Of tho text Of the
proposed law fixing the salary and giving
fifteen per cent OF the fees / want to
give you my opinion on the subject for
what It is worth.
First-I do not agree with any PROPOSE
tion to put the Offices on salary basis.
either all salary or part salary and part
fees
My proposition Is this; let tile people
who have business at the Court House
Offices pay proper fees Tor the transac.
tion OF that business IN which they are in
torested ana let those fees pay the duly
elected officials ana their clerks. In other
words let The people who have business
with the Offices maintain them by the
payment OF reasonable fees.
I am told that two OF the Offices do not
pay very well because they have trouble
in collecting the fees certainly that
must be the fault Of the officials Way not
collect IN advanceY It IS also urged that
the income from fees IN some of the Of
fees is greatly in excess OF the sum the
officials would receive Il on a salary basis
MY answer to that is, reduce the fees. IN
such cases the fee rate bill can be so re-
dnced as 10 insure the Official a sum
which viii amount TO n good salary and
yet give the public cheaper rates.
Again I urge that the people who have
business with the different officers at tho
Court House support these officials by the
payment Of lawful fees. which fees the
Legislature should investigate and when
they bring in sums in excess Of 5000 after
the payment OF the necessary Office force,
let The fees be reduced for the beneht OF
the citizen. Very truly,
