Vardaman Opens Up

Governor Vardaman opened his
campaign for the United States Sen
ate at Poplarville, addressing a large
and enthusiastic audience Upon this
occasion he entered an unequvocal
denial of John Sharp Williams allie
CATION that he favored Government
ownership Of railroads and clearly
defined his position on this most inn
portant question quite at variance
with the version proclaimed by Mr..
Williams. When regulation ceases
to REGULATE, the Governor favors gov
eminent ownership as the only
means Of protecting the public from
abuses practiced by railroads. He
believes, however, that reformatory
measures, impartially and vigorously
enforced, will correct all the evils
complained of by the public.
The welcome accorded the Cover
nor partook of the character of an
ovation and goes TO demonstrate that
his popularity is by no means on
the wane and that his position on
great public questions of moment to
the South is endorsed by large pro-
portion of Mississipians. The speech
is characterized as the most brilliant
effort ever heard in Poplarville.
James K Vardaman stands for
something. has clear-cut convictions
with courage back of them, is open
and above board in declaring them.
Qualified thus, he will. win against
Mr. Williams, who, barring his tariff
hobby, stands for nothing definite in
national politics and on nothing but
his reputation as minority leader

THE BEST OF IT
Vardaman's Reply to His Senatorial
Opponent Places Williams on the
Defensive


The letter of His Exceflency Gov.
ernor Vardaman, printed IN the
Times-Democrat, in answer to an in
terview of Congressman John Sharp
Williams. recently had, in reference
to the race for the United States sem
atorship, will certainly place the lat
ter gentleman strictly on the defen-
sive, and he will have to find some
thing more than fine sophistries and
eloquent sentences TO controvert the
arguments made and facts set forth
by the latter with the thinking voters
The Governors language is grace
ful and pleasing, and withal it is in
cisive, reaching the point directly,
and with no circum1ocution. He
strongly intimates that his opponent
is trying to charge up to him the
policy of governmental ownership of
railroads. whilst he is doing nothing
OF the kind but, on the other hand
is deprecating it. He also points out
strongly other weaknesses in the po-
sition and policies of the Yazoo gem
tleman that will not bear out a good,
hearty controversial wash before the
voters of Mississippi.
Governor Vardaman is a fearless,
independent thinker, and never hesi-
tates to express his thoughts in a can
did unmistakeable manner, ''hewing
to the line letting the chips fall
where they will" This is one OF
his chief elements OF strength, and
another IS he possesses the couraga
OF his convictions on all subjects,
casting policy to the winds You
never have to query where is he
at" as the immortal Tom Watson
once expressed it in the halls of Com
gress-Natchez Bulletin.

Solves Perplexing Problem

Leroy Percy. Of the law firm OF
Percy & Moody, Grenvillc, hit upon
a plan BY which immigrants can en-
ter the Southern States without con-
f1icting with the Federal labor con-
tract law.
According to special dispatches
from Washington Mr. Percy's ach-
ievement was the drawing up of a
form of agreement, subsequently ac-
cepted by Commissioner of Immigra-
ton Sergeant. of the Department OF
Commerce and Labor, by which
planters can bring help to this coun-
try without conflicting with the Fed
era1 labor contract law

atious problem for the country and

MULTIFAROUS OFFENSES
 OF MISSISSIPPI TOM
4 Douglas Character Who Fractured
 the Law Thrice in Rapid Succession.

That he demanded and secured at the point of a shot gun a bottle of wine from the Waldorf bar and that. later, at the point of the same gun, he held up Policeman Gentry and com pelled him to do 2 double quick down the middle of the street for two or three blocks in the business section of the city, only later to be disarmed by Officers Hilburn and Gentry and. after incarceration in the city jail, to try and burn up the jail, is the combi- nation of offenses charged to Tom known ascpa-rIfycrhoereds Drisdale, better and more widely known as Mississippi Tom" for the alleged perpetration of which the felony charge of assault with a dead ly weapon has been preferred against him, says the Douglas International.
 It all came about after Drisdale had gotten on a drunk. Deliriously intoxi- cated he ran amuck. and the insidents already recited are but a few of the vagaries of which he is guilty between the time he started out and was ar rested and disarmed. He began in the vicinity of the Waldorf saloon. Walking into that resort he asked the bartender if he had left a bottle of wine there.
 You have not" answered the man behind.
 Drisdale went out but he came back again, this time with the shot gun. He again addressed himself to the bar tender after having thrown the shot gun into his face
 Have l got a bottle of wine there?'
 You have" answered the barkeep this time. and Drisdale got the wine.
 Later Gentry came under Drisdale's disfaVor and if it related that at the point of the shotgun, threatening bloody murder all the time if he did not comply, Gentry was compelled to walk down the street from the vicini- " of Williams saloon to the White House and ultimately to the Waldorf. There Hilburn came in and threw his gun on Drisdale. Thus attracting his attention Gentry rushed Drisdale and bore him down. His disarmament was then effscted and he was taken to the city jail.
 Drisdale was still belligerent though harmless-at least. it was thought he was harmless. He wanted to get out on bail but the officers would not ad mite him to bail. fingered over this and still raving drunk, at an early hour of the morning he set fire to some discarded bedding that was in front of his cell close up to the jail. This was discovered in time to pre- sneeZing and coughing from the effect of the smoke was taken out for some vent anything serious and Drisdale. fresh air.
 He is at present out on bond and will be tried tomorrow.

Irving was brought before Jus tice Johnstone and released on bail un- til Thursday. when he will be given a hearing But few of the facts have been learned here yet. but it is suppos- e-l that the incident has some connec- ton with a dispute of longer standing.

PAINLESS OPERATIONS.

He was a mortal who was much to be pitied. For several days he had suffered a martydom from toOtache. and now he had delivered himself into the hands of a dentist who largely ad- vertised the "painlessness" of his op- eratiOns.
 After q busy five minutes the off, lending molar was drawn. and the vic tim was trying to ascertain the extent of the damage to his jaw.
 'Is that what you call painless?' he asked.
 Certainly" smiled the wielded of the forceps: "it was entirely painless to me-"
 "Oh. was it? Well, this is what l call a painless punch" said the victim.
 And letting his clenched' hand dwell for a moment on the operators nasal organ, he walked out of the house. Pearson's Weekly.

A WORD TO THE WISE

to the wise in Marshal Moore's opin- ion. will be sufficient and the word is that the public should pay more at tention to the ordinances respecting expectorating on the sidewalks and in public places, and concerning the use of hitching weights when horses are left standing in the street. The fact that there is hitching weight in the buggy will not do any good. To com- ply with the ordinance it must be laid out on the ground and the horse fast ened to it when left alone.
