VARDAMAN
DID GOOD WORK
HE ENTIRELY SUPPRESSED THE
GANGS OF LAWLESS WHITES
WHO WERE KILLING NEGROES.

Governor Vardaman is so much a
white fanatic on the negro question,
and 50 much given to a species of rous-
tabout rhetoric, that it Is easy for his
critics to ignore the good work he does.
Yet he has the virtues Of his defects,
as well as the defects of his virtues,
and 1t is the virtues of his defects that
happen just now to challenge atten-
ton.
Governor Nardaman evidently is an
intense man. He believes nothing by
halves; he does nothing by halves, or
quarters. Start him on the right side
and he is as capable Of good as he is
capable Of mischief when headed I'm the
opposite direction. There isn't a gov
ernor IN the South who can rescue a
negro from a mob Of lynchers quicker
than can the governor Of Mississippi, II
he sets out to. He has already done
something notable in this line to the
surprise Of the countryside If that
word can be applied to the side Of the
whole country that faces South. When
the governor entered office no one eX-
pected that he would lift a finger to
save a negro from the clutches Of the
mob, yet i'm the first important case Of
! the sort he had his militia in motion
/ I'm no time, and the mob was no match
for him.

sissippl Governor Nerdaman has made

contrast with the severity Of the satin
