IN all, it needed something, seemed
to lack base, and to the hearer who
was looking for a discussion of the
problems upon the solving of which
depends the future preservation, hap
piness and prosperity of our republic,
it was a disappointment. Mr.. Will
liams was full of negatives, explana-
tions that didn't explain, and much
talk about his opponent, Governor
Vardaman. He told us a great many
things that happened at st. Louis in
trying to show that he did Mr.. Bryan
no wrong, but failed to tell about

Better leave this subject alone, Mr..
Williams. Such talk about govern
ment ownership! BY what authority
did that come in?
Among other mistakes that Mr..
Williams makes is going on the pre-
sumption that he is the only fellow
who is prompted by patriotic motives
the other fellows opinions SAVIOR
of the ''demagogue, and he is the
only one that is truly honest and that
never plays to the galleries. Such
a mistake for a statesman to make!
He says that the race question is a
great problem before the American
people, but seems to think that it is
almost the objectionable sin against
the Holy Ghost to even mention it.
We would not knowingly do Mr.. Will
liams an injustice, but that smells
like the baby act to us. Who ever
heard of a problem being solved by
running away from it? We say that
the solving of this problem is inevit-
able, and therefore let it come
In short. with justice to all, Mr..

There is little or no desire to retire
Mr. Williams from public life, but in

WILLIAM FITZPATRICK.

One of the gentlest, purest and
best of men passed from the scene
of his usefulness yesterday morning,
when the spirit of William Fitzpatrick
was loosed from its earthly tenements
and took its flight into that mysteri-
Gus world from whence no spirit has
ever returned. Only a few days ago
at his place in the business world, fill
ing as best he could his duty to his
church, to his home, to his fellow
man, he lives today in the hearts of
his friends and countrymen as only a
sweet memory. His was a beautiful
life, kindly, charitable, cheering, al
ways doing his best, utilizing every
talent that God gave him for the bet
tering of himself, his family and his
friends.
All knew him. All loved him
From the highest to the lowest he
was the same to all, kindly, gentle,
a loved type of pure and noble and
useful citizen. Cut down in the prime
of his life, if ever mortal went before
his Maker with the record Of pure
and unselfsh service in the station
in which he filled, William Kilpat-
rick's soul is enjoying the rest of
the blessed this bright spring morn
ing. 1t is one of those immutable
DEGREES of God which we canot un-
derstand. We can only bow our heads
in humble submission and say, Thy
will be done"
If the sympathy of friends. if the
bleeding hearts of hundreds in this
section, white and colored, this morn
ing; can lift the burden of grief
from his home; if the love and es
TEEN in which his memory will ever
be held can rob death of its sting,
surely this sorrow is tempered for
his household this morning, for we
all loved him.
A sweet and blessed rest to the
spirit of our departed citizen this
morning is the wish and prayer of

The mystery surrounding the sat
urnaIfa at the town of Brownsville,
Texas, on the night of August 18th,
1906, has at last been cleared up, a
negro belonging to the Twenty
Infantry having made a confession
in which he acknowledges that the
shooting was done by negro soldiers,
he having been one of the partici-
pants in the riot. The man in ques
ton is D. c. Gray, former member
of Company B, who, together with
other soldiers, was discharged with
to newspaper men in Galveston, in
which place Gray has resided since
his discharge from the army Ac-
cording to this confession he outrage
was not premeditated, but resulted
from an alleged injury to one of the
soldiers on the part of a white man
a few minutes before the shooting
This soldier, so the
story goes, had a difficulty with
white man at Brownsville resort,
and fastening to the barracks seized
his rifle. declaring that he would have
the mans life. Several negroes very
promptly volunteered to go along and
see the work we'll done, and proceed

tunity to wipe out old scores against
the citizens of the town. This was

GAMBLER ADVISES AGAINST IT

GAMBLER ADVISES AGAINST 1T.
Congressman Gambler has advised
against visiting New Orleans and in
viting the rivers and harbors COM
mittee to inspect the Bibgee. He says
that the rivers and harbors commit
tees stay in that city will be short;
they are en- route to the Panama
canal for an inspection of that great
project, and it is reasonably sure that
such an invitation to them would not
be accepted.
Mr. Gambler further states that
nothing would be accomplished by
the trip The members of the COM
mittee could only judge of the feas-
ability Of the project by a trip up
the river, and this has been reported
upon by the river engineers favora-
bly,, rendering an inspection of the
stream by the committee superf1uous
and unnecessary.
Mr. Gamblers idea is that the river
is already before the committee, it
has been favorably recommended for
Improvement, and all that is neces-
sary for the people of the Big5ee val
ley to do is to make a strong show
ing of prospective commerce for the
river If this can be done in figures
that cannot be discredited, the river
will be improved That's all there is
to the matter, and he suggests that
the people of this section at once en-
ter into this work, that it may be
faithfully. inteIligently and accurate
~ done in time for the next congress.
Mr. Gamblers loyalty and devotion
to the cause is beyond question; he
has been in touch with the committee
and knows their views, and his advice
would seem to come with authority.
1t is worth considering, anyway.

WE ALL MAKE THEM.
Mr.. John NJ. Beall, general passen-
ger agent of the Mobile & Ohio Rail-
road. has the thanks OF The Dispatch
for an especially handsome blotter
advertising his Havana special SER
vice 10 Cuba. The blotter is a work
OF art and is thoroughly in keeping
with the high standard OF effective
advertising matter which has ema-
mated from the general passenger
agents Office OF the Mobile & Ohio
Railroad ever since Mr.. Beall as
sumed charge.
Mr.. Beall is an adept at this line
Of work. His conceptions are such
that they at once attract attention
and impress the holder with the ad-
mirable design and effectiveness of
the idea he wishes to present. One
looking at this folder feels like writ
ing for a pass, despite the Hepburn
bill. and taking journey across the
.Mexic" sea. as the politicians say.
But this is altogether another story.
What we wanted to remark is that
the railroad map makers, when they
are preparing their timetables and
advertising cards, generally juggle
with the geography of country until
it looks like the cities were built in
line in order to accommodate the
railroads. Mr.. BeaIl's accomplish
ment along this line heretofore has
not been out Of the ordinary, but in
the preparation of his Havana limited
matter he has outdistanced all com
petitOrs He has moved COlum bia,
Miss, way down in the southern sec
ton of Mississippi, to the north
eastern section of the State, located
it on the line of the Mobile & Ohio
fourteen miles east of Artesia on the
line of the NJ. & 0. extension, and
given it equal prominence with Me
ridian, Jackson, Tenn, and other
growing towns, while he has left Co
lumbus off of the map entirely. We
recently took up the question with
the postoffice department trying to
get relief of the confusion incident
to the naming of two towns in the
State similarly, without relief. That
was bad enough, but Mr.. Beall has
added the blow that did the work.
To have a little town located in our
place, given all of the geographical
prominence and advantages which we
possess, to be referred to by the null
ti-millionaires who travel through
this city to Florida and the coast
as "Colum bia," is more than we can
stand.
