yention as the personal represent
alive of King Edward. He took

I'm indeed very much pleased

MISDIRECTED TEMPERANCE
ENTHUSIASM

The recent defeat OF Nlee-Fresl-
dent Charles w. Fairbanks as a
delegate to the Quadrennial Con"
ference of the Methodist Episco-
nal Church, to be held in Baiti-
more next May, illustrates the
potency of publicity. Mr.. Fair
banks has for years been an hon.
ored member of the Methodist
Church, and has held places OF
trust and distinction in the glfs
of Methodism. Now, however, ne
cannot longer depend upon his as
sociates for their former conf
dence. The change has been
wrought by report that the Vice.
President, at a dinner gwen last
Memorial Day at the Fairbanks
home to President Roosevelt, served
cocktails, and several kinds of
wine. There were present on that
occasion a number of distinguish
ed gentlemen, including Bishop
Berry of the Methodist Church.
President Roosevelt, Bishop Berry,
Secretary Loeb and others OF the
notables present. deny that liquors
of any kind were served, but the
newspaper reporter. eager always
for news of sensational charac-
ter, whether true or not, had fur
nished an account of the affair,
and hence the news was sent
broadcast ever the land.
A number of temperance lay
men, many of them long friends OF
Mr.. Fairbanks, refused to cOndone
what they regard as an oifense
against temperance, and voted
against the Vice President. AnOt Der
factor that contributed to his de-
eat was the systematic action OF
members of the Woman's Chris
tlan Temperance Union,who held a
meeting in Columbus, Ind, where
the annual conference wss in ses'
sion, and outlined a Elan of work,
which was that each woman was
to select one member of the con-
ference whom she might influence
to vote against Mr.. Fairbanks.
The plan worked, FOR when the
vote was taken the Vice Pre- 'ident
Was found to be on the losing
side, A friend finally Withdrew
his name.
Thus is presented to the coun'
try the spectacle of mans defeat
by lis brethren In the chu rcn
wnen reliable men assert tnat the
charges against him were untrue
Perhaps nowhere can We find II en-
less forgiving than when they
stand for W hat they conceive to be
their dirty to religion or temper
ance.

Col. Bryan's Illustrated Book
of Travel

The success of Col. Bryan's new
book 1.-The Old World and its Ways"
gives striking testimony to his hold on
the popular mind. 1t recounts and
profusely illustrates his recent journey
around the world. 1t has been issued
five months, and we are advised that,
IN that short period, foul large editions
aggregating LOCO copies have been
called for. The reports of agents, which
have been submitted t? us, would indi-
cate that the demand for it is we'll nigh
spontaneous and universal-that 1t ex-
ceeds that for any other book published
for the subscription trade since the
period of Grants Memoirs" Col.
Bryan's book with like success depends
upon no sympathetic element for lite
strength. But it has on the part OF
the people the enduring feeling OF ger
sonal confidence In the great moral and
intellect ual integrity of its author.
1t has an equally pronounced admi-
ration for his brilliant abilities, and the
untiring energy that enabled him to
cover the world in his noted tour--and
to photograph and describe 1t in his
inimitable way. Without official place
Col. Bryan is everywhere regarded, at
home and abroad, as vital force III
American affairs. AS a student OF men
and OF government, and Of government
al conditions, his observations and con
illusions profoundly interest the people,
Hence the great sale OF his book, des-
scriptive of men and things seen during
his noted tour around the world and
through the Nations. 1t Is vitalized Dy

Thomas Speaks.

To The Times-P Promoter:
The Hon. E. N. Thomas spoke at
Olive Branch Friday night, July 5, in
the interest of his candidacy for gov
ernor to a large and appreciative
audience. The speaker delivered an
address full of logic, carrying con-
viction.
The gentleman is opposed to an
elective Judiciary, SO long asit would
come under the primary system,
showing conclusively how easy it
would be for the public service cor
porations to elect the several judges.
He discussed the school question at
length in mastery way, incidental
ly showing how Judge Truly handed
down a decision, which if affirmed,
would have deprived the white boys
and girls of south Mississippi $3, 3,0OO,-
10000. He further showed the fallacy
of paying them the same salary, ir-
respective of where they were, ire
spective Of their qualifications, or the
number of pupils enrolled.
The gentleman closed with an elo-
quent appeal for nobler and higher
citizenship and was given liberal ap-
plause. j. w. GRADY.
