One of Lincoln's favorite sto-
ries concerned Daniel Webster.
Webster was. when a schoolboy,
one day called before the teacher
for some infraction of the rules.
Told to hold out his right hand
for "feruling," the lad reluet-
antly rut forth a decidedly grimy
paw. Daniel" said the dis
gusted pedagogue, 'if you will
find in this schoolroom another
hand as filthy as that, | will let
you off this time" Instantly
from behind the lads back came
his left hand. Here it is, sir,
was the ready response of the
future orator. -EX.

Crane-Moore

On last Sunday evening at the home
of the brides parents on church street,
the ceremony was said which united in
marriage Mr. G.. M. Crane and Miss
Bessie Moore, only few of the rela-
tives and friends of the contracting
parties being present. The ceremony
was said by Rev. r. A Kimbrough,
pastor of the Baptist church, in his
usual impressive style. The marriage
came as quite surprise to the many
friends of the young couple, who let
only few of their most intimate
friends into the secret.
The bride is the charming and accom-
plished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. l..
Moore, and has resided in Tupelo sew
eral years, where she has won many
friends by her charming personally and
sweet disposition.
Mr.. Crane is young man of exem-
plary habits and sterling worth and
holds position as manager of the In
dependent Telephone Company at this
place During his four years of resi-
dence here he has ingratiated himself
into the esteem and confidence of the
people by his affable manners and strict
attention to business.
We join their many friends in wish
ing for the happy young couple a pleas
ant and profitable voyage through life.

Commission on the
Race Question.
jackson Cor. Commercial Appeal J

jackson Cor. Commercial Appeal.)
jackson, Miss, Feb. 26, '07. =
Gov. Vardaman has received a
great many inquiries recently as
to whether or not he would ap-
point three members from Mis-
sissippi on a commission to be
appointed by the governors OF
the Southern States for the pur.
pose of studying the race ques-
tion in the South. as suggested
by the Rev. DR.. John E. White,
of Atlanta, Ga. Answering these
inquiries, the governor said:
II have not thought much
about the matter of appointing
mombers of that commission for
Mississippi. Such commission,
if composed of the right sort of
men, could do no. harm, and
and probably might do some
good. Intelligent thought and
discussion is always helpful. But
the race question cannot be set
tied by a commission: and what
ever determination or conclusion
such a commission might reach,
the issue will still exist. Its ex-
istence is not dependent upon
what any number of individuals
may think of it or say about it.
Its origin is not in the brains of
statesmen, politicians, or polit-
ical economists or candidates for
office, but rather, it grows out
of conditions, the unfortunate
result of racial peculiarities and
governmental mistakes. And
you might as well undertake to
control or direct the blowing of
the winds or the ebbing or flow
ing of the tides, which are the
results of natural laws, as to un-
dertake to suppress or prevent
the discussion of the race ques-
ton in the South. 1t is with us,
the problem is here, and will re-
main here until the causes which
produced it shall be removed,
It belongs to the whole people
and the whole people must settle
it. And, ultimately, the people
will settle it.
"As far as am concerned, : |
prefer to trust the feelings of
the whole people than the con-
clusions of a commission COM
posed of specialists appointed by
the governors or anyone else.
The mass of the people may
think slowly, but they think ac-
curately and their conclusions
are usually correct. The organ
izations of press clubs for the
Encouragement of the discussion
of the question, or failure of gov
ernors to appoint this commits
sion for the same purpose, will
have just about as much effect
in keeping the people from talk
ing about it and discussing it as
telling a hungry man that he is
not hungry would satisfy the
cravings of his stomach
They may cry harmony, but
there is no harmony. They may
say there is no problem, but still
the yroblem is here. They may
say there is no race question, but
the race question is with us. The
Christian Science treatment will
not suit this. case at all. Differ
ences of opinion as to remedy
may be expected, but there can
be no difference of opinion as tc
the existing, living, distressing
facts in the case. And it is pas
sing strange to me that wise and
conservative men in other mat
tiers should entertain such pecu-
| liar views on this particular ques-
ton af are entertained by some.
If / should not appoint commits
sioners for Mississippi | want j
distinctly understood that it will
not be because do not want the
matter discussed"

The strong protest which Tole-
do, Ohio is making over the pro-
posed appointment of a negro as
collector of internal revenue,
clearly demonstrates the fact
that the professed interest of the
people of Ohio for the negro is
for political purposes only.

Be Nullifed by Federal Injunction.

Evansville. Ind. July 4.-Before a crowd of
nearly ten thousand persons at the Chautauqua
here this afternoon. Governor Joseph Folk Of
Missouri delivered an address. He said in part:
believe the real work of the few years is 10

state marked than IN the wholesale nulif-
cation OF state laws by federal injunction without
hearing and before trial
The result is. unless the consent OF a railroad
can be obtained to pending legislation the state
becomes powerless. No good citizen desires to be
unjust railroads. But that they must be regI-
lated and should not be left as mere
subjects Of their bepevolence all must admit
No could object court state or federal
declaring statute unconstitutional IL found to be

against statutes Of the states being suspended as

This is like Furnishing man first and trying him

the cases are tried the court will probably hold
they are valid, but they might as well he killed as

The people of Missouri are not preiudiced against

which brought the freight rate law and tho two

they are FOUND to be unfair. But the people of
Missouri object 10 n fedora! court despoticay en-
