SENATORS BY POPULAR VOTE.


Memphis Tenn, Jan. John
Sharp Williams, minority leader Of
the house Of representatives, has is
sued signed statement, giving his
views on senatorial elections. He
says:
Il favor the election Of senators by
popular vote In their respective states.
The constitution provides two methods
for its amendment. eis when two.
thirds Of each house Of congress sub
mits an amendment to the people. A
constitutional amendment to require
the popular election Of senator's will
never be passed that way, for the
simple reason that the senate will
never concur.
cite only way that it can be pass
ed is by three-fourths of the state
acting in that way in q convention
called for that purpose. Whether
that will ever be done or not the pub.
lie is as good q judge as I
III my own part of tie country
senators are already substantially
elected by the people. Party pri-
maries are held. A majority is re-
quired if there is only a plurality in
the first primary, another is held be-
tween the two highest candidates, SO
that there shall be majority, and
the man elected by the majority Of the
people is the nominee of his party,
and his slection acts as an instruction
to the senator's and the members of
the house of the state legislature.
IA man would no sooner think of
violating it than an elector would
think of violating his pledge for a
certain presidential ticket"
AS Mr.. Williams will be a candi-
date for senatorial honors before the
people Of Mississippi, the statements
created great interest in Memphis, the
homes Of thousands Of Mississippians
ond the birthplace of Mr.. Williams.

THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER.

Speaking Of what newspaper does
for community, United States
Senator David Davis, of Illinois, made
an address that remains ever green in
the memories Of newspaper men. He
said: Every year every local paper
gives from so to 5000 free lines for
the benefit Of the community in which
it is located. No other agency can OF
will do this. The editor IN pro-
portion to his means does more for
his own town than any other man.
He ought to be supported not because
you happen to like him or admire his
writing the best, but because local
paper is the best investment q com.
munity can make.

THE CARTOONS WORK.

neC6ntly we na0 occasion TO pro-
test against cartoon published in q
local journal misrepresenting labor
conditions in Mississippi. We are
happy to be able to state that the
timely protest served to prevent much
of the injury which the publication Of
the cartoon tended to bring upon
Mississippi, but unfortunately in one
quarter the unhappy careoon managed
to accomplish it's evil before our pro-
test had been received.
The occasion referred to was real
estate deal involving $40, 900 Of
landed interest in Mississippi. On
seeing the fleeing negro pursued by
the whiteoapper with bull whip
and the planter with the shotgun and
the bloodhound, the prospective pur-
chaser. q northern man, straightway
retired from further negotiations.
The letter referring to the incident
and giving the reason for the broken
negotiations was written by the
president of the large and important
land bureau to one of the reputable
real estate and farm land agencies
of this city. It says some hard things
about those who, through either
malace or ignorance, misrepresent
entire sections of the country, ad-
vises the real estate men of Memphis
and the south to protest against mis-
representations, of the kind and winds
up with the remark that "Mr.
(naming the northern capitalist,
would have invested in Mississippi
had it not been for this paper scare. !"
The letter is in our possession,
given to Us as evidence of the cor
rectness of our position when we de-
clared that misleading cartoons, con-
veying such false and sensational i'm
pressions as the one in question,
could accomplish nothing except
great damage to the southern country.
In dealing with southern labor con-
ditions, especially when the negro
farm hand is the subject. southern
papers cannot be too careful. The
truth may be told of course; for the
south has no fear of the truth on this
subject nor on any other. But those
possessing little knowledge of the con-
ditions should keep hands off, else
great injury is certain to be the re-
sult.-Oommerclal Appeal.
The cartoon referred to appeared in
q recent issue of the News Scimitar,
and the Herald agrees with the. Com
mercial Appeal that it was one calcu-
lated to do the Delta and Mississippi
much injury. Had such an one ap-
peared in Boston or Vermont paper
no surprise would have been felt, as
it was calculated to meet with their
hearty endorsement. -Yazoo Herald.

McLAURIN'S GARD.
A Washington special saws.

"A washington special says.
The spicy card given out by
United States Senator McLaurin at
Jackson few days ago, has created
a great deal of interest among the
Mississippi delegation and Missis-
sippians residing at the capital.
None Of the Mississippi congressman
will talk about it for publication, but
they all say that the provocation must
have been great to make Senator Nc
Laurin come out in print, for it is
we'll known that Senator McLaurin is
not fond OF antagonisms, and since
coming to the United States senate
has made truce with many Of his
fermer enemies in Mississippi. The
senator is not a vindictive or re-
revengeful man. Many of those who
have been very bitterly opposed to
Senator McLaurin in the past are now
friendly to him and he has rejoiced
that he was able to heal so many
breaches. One OF his friends said
when he saw the card: well, Sena-
tor McLaurin had great cause, for
know from conversations have bad
with him that he desires to be on
friendly terms with every one in
Mississippi, not SO much for po-
litical reasons but because he is
naturally Of friendly disposition,
and does not desire strife, though
when it is put up to him he does not
run away from it,

MISSTATEM ENTS OF ACTUAL
FACTS.

Never before In the history OF the
cotton trade has such multitudinous
amount of Bear dope and intention
al Misrepresentation Of actual facts
been given to the south through paid
advertisements in the columns of the
press and by distribution Of circular
letters through the mails. Operators
who are moving heaven and earth to
depress future contracts and the prices
of spot cotton are oudgeling their
brains in the modern art of Juggling
figures and making new high records
in distorting statistics in the supreme
effort to make small yield Of Ameri-
can cotton take on the appearance Of q
plentiful supply. Hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars have been ex-
pended in the past two months in
cablegrams, kilograms, paid articles
in newspapers, postage, and market
letters in an nerculean undertaking
to deceive the public. discourage the
farmers and local spot holders into
rushing the remnant of this crop on
the market, unsettle public opinion
in the south temporarily so as to break
the market and induce liquidation.
The spinners have threatened to with
draw from the market which is alb
surd in the face of their enormous
commitments of the entire output Of
their mills for the next six to eight
months. Prominent ''Bear" leaders
take peculiar interests in the daily
publishing comparative estimates of
this crop with years that have gone
before. These tangled and muchly
Juggled statistics emanate from the
Offices of gentlemen who breathe the
atmosphere of climate one thousand
miles from southern cotton fields and
whose eyes have not witnessed the
actual condition Of single cotton
field in the south this year. The
statistics and daily reports which
they put out in the stupendous effort
for private gain are simply the night
mares of overcharged brains rejecting
individual views in the forlorn hope
of changing at least Temporarily the
laws of supply and demand. The
interest of the spot holder is con-
sidered. The great desideratuln is
paper contracts and hot air. Thou

Dope" scattered over the south daily
and know it to be false, yet they

from the fine Italian hands OF their

compared with past yields in the mat

than could the enormous production of

which confront him. Spurn these

Bankers Association Adopts
Resolutions
Provide for Elastic Currency 10 Au.
tomatically Adjust Itself to
Conditions.
FOR SPECIAL CREDIT NOTES

Washington, Nov 16.- The plan
of currency reform agreed upon by
the joint committee of the American
Bankers association and the New
York Chamber of Commerce. upon
which they had been at work for four
days was made pubic today.
The plan agreed 'upos contem-
plates the Issue under government
supervision of credit bank notes by
national banks equal to 40 per ceot
of their bond secured circulation,
subject to tax Of 2l4 per cent. per
annum. an automatic increase of
credit notes equal to 12h per cent.
of banks capital, at a tax of 5
per cent. per annum; the establish
ment OF a guarantee fund for the re-
demptlon OF credit notes of failed
banks: provision for active daily re-
demptlon OF credit notes: repeating
the existing law limiting the retire
ment of bond secured notes to 49,
900 900 per month. and the deposit
OF all public moneys above reason
able working balances In national
banks without collateral security. on
which the banks are to pay per
cent.
Banks are under the necessity Of
parting with their reserve money to
supply the demands for currency at
certain seasons. although that de-
mand would be quite as well salts
fed IL banks could supply their credit
notes instead OF depicting their re-
serve and causing a contraction In
furious to business.
To meet this situetion the national
banking act. the report says, should
be so altered as to permit, under am
pie safeguards, the issue OF credit
bank notes which would automatic
ally adjust the volume to the de-
mands for currency.
The report sets out a series OF
principles which are believed to UNI
derlie ga correct solution" of the cur
rency problem. so far as II relates to
the issue OF bank note currency.

The alleged fugitives with Pope

just after a drug store over which he
resided was broken into.
G.. NJ. Johnson made himself agree

for the date below the epitaph.
A few bullets, tributes of COWBOYS
who doubted that greaser could be
good. even when dead, had splintered
the sides OF the slab
II was an unusual epitaph. The
fine slab stood in a sandhill far of
from the Pecos river. up near the
foothills in New Mexico. The epi-
taph was unusual because it spoke
well OF Mexican half4breed You
might travel for days In New Mexico
and Arizona and find neither on
wood nor stone nor the lips of a
white man such fattery as that "a
greaser was decent"
Sancho Pedro must have been an
unusual half-breed TO acquire the
friendship of a general The slab
was found half buried In sand dune
by a Mexican grading crew on the
Santa Fe railroad when they ran their
line down the Pecos valley in the
early nineties. Sancho's countrymen
were disturbed by no nicetles of sent
iment when they ran on to the grave.
They split the headpiece into pad

els and found the bones of man

When he went back to Santa Fe
he showed the crucifix to his grand

served the general for years, and was
killed In a sklrmish with Apache In
dams down in the Pecos valley near
the foothills in 1876. The general
ordered that he should have a decent
burial. and burned the epitaph with
mis- own hands on pine slab with an
old Spanish branding iron.
The railroad desecrated Sancho's
grave and threw his bones to whiten
and waste away on the sands. His
story would never have been known
