WILLIAMS AND VARDAM.AN.

The returns from the Mississippi
primary election are all in and Gov.
Jas. X. Vardaman, who aspired to
the seat in the United States Senate
to be. vacated by Senator Money in
~-1911, was defeated. 1t is well.
1t Is we'll for the people Of Miss
issippi and the country at large that
Mr.. Vardaman, who, in his campaign
for the coveted honor, relied upon
the tricks of the charlatan and dem
agogue, will retire at the end Of his
gubernatorial term to private life,
even though it be for a short time.
Not that there was any fear that
Governor Vardaman'B presence in
the Senate would have jeopardized
the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments. His fiery decIama-
tions upon that score were intended
only for the consumption of the red
necks," and even they seem to have
found them indigestible, as the re-
turns show. But his endorsement
would have given greater impetus to
the present day policy of the South
to elevate to the seats Of the mighty
those who have no other recommen-
dalton than an oft-expressed hatred
of the black man.
- Arkansas has selected jeff Davis
as one OF her representatives in the
upper ,house-Jeff Davis, whose hos
tile attitude toward one-third Of the
people he represents is exceeded only
by his unftness for the exalted posi-
ton to which he was called Benja-
min Tillman, Of South Carolina, has
played his role Of Minister Plenipo-
Tertiary and Envoy Extraordinary of
His Satanic Majesty SO long and sue
cessfully in the Senate Chamber, on
the platform and stump that his
name and race prejudice have be-
come synonymous. 1t is, therefore,
significant and a harbinger Of bright
D. er days that Mississippi, the strong
hold Of the sentiment Of the "Old
Negro, did not elect to follow her
chief executive, who declared that he
would rather be living in the Con-
deliberate States under Jefferson Da-
Wis than in the United States under
President Roosevelt; who arrayed
the poor whites against the Ne
groes by appealing to the lowest
-prejudices of the former.
AS between the victor and the van
qu1shed the Mississippi Negro, who,
While the main issue, was, perforce,
p mere spectator, has but little to
Il choose. Mr.. Williams combatted his
Opponents argument for government
ownership of railways by calling at
Ientton to the danger to the
vim Crow law by the adop-
zion OF such a policy. He met
( the assault upon the Fifteenth
: Amendment with the plea that no
y good could come from raising such
t;:se'n Issue In Mississippi or in fact the
I majority Of the Southern States

WORLDS BIGGEST CATASTROPHE
II 10 the Plague Epidemic Now on In
India.

The greatest catastrophe the world
has ever known is In progress at this
present moment, and the world recks
little or nothing of 1t.
This is the plague epidemic in India,
which has now been raging for more
than IL years, and which, SO far from
showing any tendency to die out,
keeps steadily increasing in intensity.
Thus, during the six weeks ending
May II last, 4s1,s9S persons perished
from It, or at the rate OF over 10000
deaths week.
Nothing approaching the appalling
horror represented by these figures
has ever been recorded before. The
nearest to it was in 1905, when, dur
ing the last week In March, the cpl
demic was responsible for 577O2
deaths.
No pestilence of ancient or modern
times OF which we have any knowl-
edge has slain so many millions Of
people as has this one, and the end OF
which, mind. Is not yet.
The Great Plague" Of London for
example, about which everybody has
heard, killed at the outside some So
600 people in seven months, or about
as many as are dying weekly in India
from a disease which is Identical with
it In every respect.
The "Black Death" is said to have
slain one-third OF the then population
of England-say 100000 persons;
but this Is doubtful Even admitting
the correctness of the estimate, how
ever, the mortality OF the present cpl
demic In India has already more than
doubled this huge total.
What will be the end no man can
foresee or venture to forecast. 1t may
be that all that has gone before, and
all that is happening now, inexpres-
sibly awful though it is, is but the
prelude OF worse to follow.-Pearson's

APPROPRIATION BILL.

The bill appropriating money for SAL
aries of Government employees was then
called for third reading. At the start
Senator Brown began a move TO cut
the salary of the Treasurer to $3.50 from
$500 as recommended by the Governor.
He did not wait until the bill was reg
uIarly read but he was reminded that
he would have plenty of time to use his
hammer. When his time did come he
spoke long and earnestly in support OF
his motion. In fact he talked SO long
on the measure that his colleagues lost
interest and when the vote was put
the motion was lost.
Senator Lane had succeeded in rails
