The Western Union Telegraph

the Postal was forced to suspend

IN THE SAME BOAT.

The following from the Jackson
Evening News of the 18th, pub
lished in an article on the McNair
spree (which it condones), throws
an interesting side light on some
things that have been going on in
the State House during this ses-
sion of the Legislature, and which
doubtless explains why some of
the State Senators were so violent
ly opposed to having any investi-
cation of McNair's conduct in the
State Capitol on Sunday after
noon. A little ''red-eye" makes
us wondrous kind and blubbery
sometimes. 1t may be, some of
those Senators had been swigging
at the self-same bottle which threw
the commissioner. Says the News:
"While the chairman of the
railroad commission was undoubt-
edly intoxicated, as charged, his
ofense does not loom up much
larger in gravity than those of
more than a score of law makers
who have been in various stages
of intoxication on more than one
occasion during the past few
months. There has been very
considerable amount of 'lushing'
around the State House through
out the session, and in one of the
committee rooms of the house
liquor has been almost continually
kept by members and a negro por-
ter employed to keep the whisky
in charge for the convenience of
those who imbibe with more, or
less frequency
The statement made by Sthe
News also helps the outside public
to better understand why the hys-
terical cries of the Clarion Ledger
a few weeks ago, that if the Gov
ernor were given the power to
suspend officials for drunkenness,
as was proposed then and has been
proposed again since the McNair
incident, that Legislators would
be in danger of being suspended
and sent home in humiliation and
disgrace, caused a sudden right
about face by the Senate on that
measure.
The people may easily wipe out
such disgraceful condition Of
affairs in their State Capitol by
seeing to it at the next election
that none but men of established
probity and sober habits are sent
to represent them at jackson.
