AN APPEAL FOR PARDON.

The Leader is advised that a
very strenuous effort is being
made by certain parties to in
iuenee Gov. Vardaman to inter-
fere with the sentence of Sid Hos.
kins, secretary and steward Of the
Brookhaven Owl saloon, which
was affirmed by the Supreme
Court last Monday a week ago, by
taking off the three months i'm
prisonment and allowing him to
pay the $500 fine and costs.
The establishment of the Owl
saloon for the Owl Club was
nothing less than a thinly disguis-
ed saloon was a bold and deliber-
ate attempt by Sid Hoskins and a
few associates, who ought to be
sent to the county farm with him,
to defy the prohibition laws and
sentiment of this community and
debauch the young men and boys
of this town and vicinity in den
of vice. They openly boosted that
the law could not reach them, and
after the citizens movement was
started here and Hoskins was in
dicted and convicted and other
"owls" flew the nesto and the
town to escape the processes Of
the court, they again boasted of
the little that had been actually
accomplished against the tiger
and gambling fraternity and de-
clared this would be set aside by
the higher court through some
loup-hole in the law. All this
having failed, they would now
raise the martyr whine for Sid
and make the specious and silly
plea that he ought not to be made
to pay the penalty of violated law
because others of the gang, equal
sly guilty, we're not caught, con-
Elcted and sentenced with him.
To every member of the Owl
organization or other person who
makes this silly and childish plea,
The Leader would say, cease such
silly twaddle, 60 before the next
grand jury or the Law and Order
Committee and tell frankly what
you knoW of violations of the law
by members Of the Owl Club and
other Brookhaven blind tigers,
and our word for it, there will be
other martyrs beside Sid and
he will not lack in the least for
plenty Of congenial company
while serving his own sentence.
That is the manly, the just, the
right thing to do.
III Gov. Vardaman we're to do
a thing so unjust 10 the law
and order element Of this commn.
nifty as to set aside the courts

this I10skins case, one so unwise
and hnrtfuI to law enforcement Id
all Prohibition counties and towns,
the good citizens of Brookhaven
and Lincoln county might just as
well publicly abdicate ID favor Of
the law-defying and criminal
class. The Leader does not be-
lieve he will do it.
The two weeks limit allowed
ia which to answer TO che iudg-I
ment of the court expires next
Monday, and should no action be
taken by the Governor, Hcskins
will then have to begin serving

the appointment is one of Wu's tricks.
Having reason to fear that he might be per-
soma no grata to the government of the

without the usual prelminaries trusting
that this government would accept the stu
alton as a fat accompli not regarding his
dsqualifications as Of sufficient Importance
to request that his appointment be can
celed after having been gazetted, though
if the usual secret correspondence had been
that the selection of another minister would
be more pleasing to the United States.
China once requested that a minister
from this country, who had already started
for his post, be halted on his journey and a
substitute named Mr.. Bland. the appointee.

the middle kingdom when the imperial gov

That appointment was, accordingly can
celed, and Charley Denby then minister
at Peking, democrat appointed by Cleve-
land, held over in Harrison's administra-
ton. and was reappointed later for a third
term by Mr.. Cleveland. In this case there
had been no preliminary negotiations. for
that was not the custom of this country.
so that China had to wait until after the
appointment. in any case, to express her
opinion. In spite of expressions to the
contrary from the State Department, I am
OF the opinion that there is q possibility
that Mr.. WI will not be the successor of
