Where is the Limit !?

President Roosevelt has "butted
in" on the California legislature
in his usual way, which is way
unknown to any Of his predeces-
sors. His message to the COVER
nor of California suggesting that
the legislature suspend all anti
japanese leg gislation and that fur
ther action by the State senate on
certain bills be held up, which
was transmitted by the governor
to the legislature, is probably the
first instance of a message from a
President of the United States be-
ing sent to a State legislature
with view of influencing action
by that body on measures pend
ing before it. The message had
the desired effect. The legisla-
ture acceded to the wishes and
recommendations of the president,
as was it's privilege to do. But
questions which are coming to be
pertinent, are-Of what use are

Expert Testimony.

The expert witness hired by the
State sees the case only from the
States point of view, while the
expert who sells his services to
the defense naturally undertakes
to deliver to that side the COM
modify for which he draws a fee.
The whole business of summon
ing hired men to testify for one
side or the other in case invclv-
ing human life or liberty is I'M
moral. It reduces the judicial
processes to a commercial basis.
The court itself should secure
such witnesses, should protect
them from confusing inquisitions
and should insure that their find
ings are presented to the jury in
clear and compact form. Such a
system would eliminate the conf
dence destroying element of COM
mercialism from crimina! trials as
now conducted, would shorten
them and would safeguard the in
terests of both the public and the
accused. Washington Star.

Williams CAMPAIGN Begins.

Hon. John Sharp Williams for
rnally opened his senatorial cam
paign at Amory last week. He
announces that he will remain in
the field until the election in
August. Mr.. Williams is a fine
campalgner, magnificent speak
er and charming gentleman, and
will, of course, add to his already
large following as he goes up and
down the State. Mr.. Williams
announces upon his return home
that he has secured sufficient
pledges of congressman to secure
his reelection as Minority leader
in the House next December.
This is good news to the Sentinel
and, SO far as we know to all
Mississlppians, as he is the proper
man tc lead the Democratic forces.
The contention of the Sentinel in
the senatorial race is that we need
both men in the United States
Congress and to continude Will
liams as the Minority leader
where he has done so much to har-
monize the Democratic factions
and send Vardaman to the Senate
and so then Mississippi will have
her two foremost men in that law
making body. This suggestion
has been ridiculed BY the Williams
men as scheme to promote Var
daman's interest, but such is an
injustice to our motives. The
Sentinel's position can be met
only by empty ridicule and not by
argument. Ripley Sentinel.

Equal Suffrage.

A demand for presidential suf-
frage will be made by the women
of Mississippi at the next legisla
tive session, and a determined
effort made to secure constitu-
tional amendment permitting the
gentler sex to vote for presiden-
tial electors.
This is the announcement made
by Miss Belle Kearney, president
Of the Mississippi Woman's Suf-
frage Association, national organ
izer of the W. G. I. e., and per-
haps the most gifted woman in
the State.
We will ask the legislative en-
actnent at the next session" " says
Miss Kearney, 'and / feelsconf-
dent that 1t will be granted.
Aside from the moral principle
that women ought to be allowed
to vote, the matter also has a
political aspect. for it will double
our Democratic majority and rem
der the elimination of the negro
from politics an absolute certain
ty.
4 shall devote the present
month and a part Of April to the
woman's suffrage movement in
Mississippi, says Miss Kearney,
visiting as many towns as possi-
BILE during the period.
The campaign wilhhe system
attic, and the branches thus far
formed are active and enthusias-
| tic. Literature bearing on the
subject will be distributed among
legislative candidates, and the
voters given an opportunity to
| familiarize themselves with the
question.
Miss Kearney will be out of the
State q good portion of the sum
mer, but her CO. workers expect
| to keep the campaign alive. She
goes from this State during the
| latter part Of April on d lecture
tour through Alabama, Georgia
and Virginia, and during the SUM
mer will visit the New England
States, Ia Canada, and returning
home to take in active part In the
agitation when the legislature is
convened ID regular session.

MAY BE A CANDIDATE.
Luther Mansbip's Friends Want Him to
Run for Lieutenant-GOyernOr.

The friends here of Hon.
Luther Manship, the platform
lecturer and story teller, are urg-
ling him to become a candidate for
the Office of Lieutenant Governor,
and if he enters the race and is
electeds it will fall to his lot 10
become presiding officer of that
august body. The sessions will
be interspersed with a little wit
and humor when Manship fills the
chair; decisions will be made with
such fun on the side that the ap.
tpllcant will 60 down IN defeat
with smile on his countenance,
and appeals from the decisions of
the chair will never be heard of.
Luther Manship is not only a
joker and story-teller. lie can
be as serious as mule in thun-
der storm when occasion demands,
but be thanks the good Lord that
is not often, as it does not set
we'll with him. He has represent
ed this, Hlnds county, in the leg
islature, and knows all the ropes
and the duties of a law-maker.
When he announces himself as a
candidate for the lower house, he
was a comparative stranger to the
voters of the county, though he
had lived all his life in jackson,
and his friends were fearful that
he would be defeated. However,
he jumped into the arena a few
weeks before the primary, made a
dozen speeches in the country
precincts, and got the vote of ey-
cry man, and it is believed that of
a goodly number of the women,
who went out to hear him. He
was importuned to offer his ser
vices again, but in the meantime
had taken to the lecture platform,
and could not be induced to .sus-
pend long enough to serve anoth-
er term IN the Legislature. :

Running up stream. the tugboat
Brownie" doing harbor work for

ran into a skin Saturday afternoon
about $3.50 O'Clock occupied by
Charles Gilmore and Clint Anderson.
Gilmore is Waterman on the steamer
l. n. Hook, which is in the Tonnes
see river. and he and Anderson were
coming to the city in a skiff. Ac-
cording to Elmore's story they saw
the Brownie" approaching. No
particular attention was paid until
opposite the saw logs when they saw
the tug was upon them, and before
they could ster out of their course
the Brownie" had struck them and
the skif had overturned, throwing
the OCCUPANTS out. Anderson had an
easy time reaching the shore, but
the skiff overturned on Elmore and
he had difficulty in freeing himself.
After the accident the Brownie
sopped and picked mp the skiff. and
after bailing it out Elmore and An
derson were able to reach the wharf.

VARiDAMANISM.

The Lexington Herald pays its re
spects to Vardaman in terms that
might be applied to some newspapers
IN the following:
THE returns from Mississippi indi-
cate a probable victory for John
Sharp Williams in the primary for
the selection of the Democratic NOM
inee for senator from that state, the
nomination being equivalent to an
Election. The contest for the nomina.
tion in Mississippi has been one of
the most exciting in the annals of
any southern state and the result is
of supreme Importance, not only to
Mississippi, but to the whole south.
II is In many ways the most import
ant election for the selection of a
party candidate held in any American
state this summer. John Sharp Will
liams represents the best type of
southern thought. With high ideals
of public duty. scholarly attachments,
with the best traditions of the old
south, he has had the courage and
the sense to lead his peoples eyes to
the future instead of to the past. His
leadership will eliminate as far as
any can the race question from Amer
lean politics and wifi tend to the So
luton of that question upon lines best
for both races.
Gov. Vardaman represents the re-
dictionary element In the south. In
norant, blatant, a demagogue appar-
emily without scruples, he represents
the very worst element in southern
politics. Such as he have done-and
II continued in political power will
do-more than all other classes to
foment trouble between the races
and make more difficult and danger
GUS the problem the southern people
have to face and solve. 1t would be
national misfortune for him to have
received the Democratic nomination
in Mississippi and be given a COM
mission to represent that state in
the United States senate.
And yet so pressing is the race
problem in Mississippi, so trouble
some is 1t in many of it's phases, so
skillful have been the appeals of Var
daman and his followers to the low
est and most violent passions of the
Democrats. that there has been grave
anxiety on the part of the real
friends of the south, the real thinkers
of the country, that he might recelveI
the nomination. The people of Mis-
sissippi are to be congratulated If,
as the returns indicate they have
chosen Williams whose leadership
every reasonable honest conscientious
citizen of Mississippi will in time APP
prove and indorse."

STREETS PRE- EMPTED.

1t is doubtful whether more than
a few people remember that Broad
way extends to the wharfboat full
width, they have become so accus-
toned to take the roadway when they
leave First street, and nearly every
one has forgotten the existence OF
Water street along the river front
Steps and platforms of stores project
over where Broadway's. sidewalks
should be, and rear additions tres
pass on Water street. The
city is a bit lax in preserving its
rights to these streets. Hundreds OF
people walk daily to the wharfboat
The river front is anything but pict-
uresque at best; but sidewalks
should be built down the hill for the
benefit of the public and for the
preservation of the public's rights to
the street.
