Be it resolved by The Bryan
Liberty Club of Rosedale, Mis-
issippi that we do not believe it
was intended by the people of
the North when they destroyed
the slave holding aristocracy of
the South, that a monied oligar-
chy should spring up on its
ruins;
We do not believe that the
people of the North intended
when the slave holding class was
deprived of power that the reins
of government should be seized
by the class denominated by Mr..
jefferson as the traitorous lich;
Mr.. Lincoln said: This gov
eminent cannot live half slave
and half free;" nor can it live
half oligarchy and half republic.
That this government has
passed from the loyal hands of
the men with the lofty ideals of
Washington and Jefferson, to
the control of tie sordid and sell
fish whose whole aim in govern
ment seems to be to amass
wealth to be spent abroad among
the enemies of the republic, there
can be no doubt.
With tariff imposing high pric-
es and a restricted trade upon
the masses; with transportation
lines built mainly by donations
of money and lands of the gov
ernment, exacting extortionate
freight rates to pay dividends on
their stock, watered to a degree
that makes a payment of these
dividends robbery; with advanta-
ges given to the favored custom
ers Of these lines in rebates; with
a long haul rated for localities
not in the favored class; with
privilege of issueing emergency
currency granted by Act of Con-
gress to the bond holding class
es, and the gamblers in the
products of the farmer-which
privilege was denied the farmer;
with the trusts seizing the natu-
raj resources of the country and
the products of the ranch and
the farm and levying tribute
upon the necessrries of life; with
labor held in subjection to the op-
preston of capital through in
junction and the machinery OF
the courts; with United States
Senators representing special in
terest in the Halls of Congress;
with the highest judicial tribu-
nal in the land relieving the eX-
cessivelv rich of taxes imposed
by Congress on their excessive
wealth; with judges sitting on
the bench to relieve wealthy
malefactors of penalties imposed
by law; beneficiaries of these
abuses and wrongs trucking to
foreign nobility, and bestowing
their daugters with the wealth
extorted from the American
masses. on idle thriftless lords,
to replentish the fortunes they
have squandered in dissipation
and vice; with its colonial policy
and imperial tendency
1t is plain to the most casual
i observer that this government
has drifted far from its moor
i ings, and that the government
of the people, by the people, fol
the people," is fast perishing
from the earth.

YOU when it comes to building
up a healthy public sentiment,
and right here let me exhort, in
the spirit of missionary, all
our people, who are conscious of
a sense of right and justice, to
join in crusade against all
dark and damnable conspiracies,
which threaten the overthrow of
everything grand and noble,
and labor to bring about such a
healthy state of public sentiment
that by the time court convenes
again, should our county be so
unfortunate as to have a prisoner
charged with murder, and the
preponderance of evidence, in
behalf of the state, plainly
showing that the defendant had
in a cowardly manner, and in a
spirit of morbid revenge, taken
the life of a good citizen in cold
blood, that it would be impossi-
BILE to have rendered a verdict of
not guilty. t. R. Thompson.

Four d Sundry Holes" in
a Recent Editorial Article
in This Paper.
Mr.. Editor: Kindly allow me
space in your paper to reply to
an editorial in issue dated June
24th, under caption, "Criticising
Verd ict"
OF course the verdict referred
to was that in the case against
Grover Welsh for killing Berry
Mobley.
l am free to admit, in the out
set, Mr.. Editor, that l am not
able to cope with you in news
paper articles or controversies
neither am l seeking a contro-
versy, realizing as / do that you
possess rare talent and ability
along that line. But with faith,
however, in the adage, that:
"He that is in the right is doub-
ly armed" feel emboldened to
undertake to point out, what ap-
pears to me to be faulty argu-
ment in said editorial.
1t occurs to ne, that you were
eDdeavoring to cover, as with
blanket, the verdict in this case.
l shall endeavor, Mr.. Editor, TO
apoint out and have something to
Say about four very prominent
and peculiar holes in this blan-
ket.
l shall take up the holes and
number them in the order of
their discovery:
Hole No. l. Around the edges
of this hole you argue the in
justice of giving too much cred
ence to. newspaper reports; bu:
upon looking through this hole
the fact reveals itself that some
newspapers may be either SUBJ
sidised, or biased for policy's
sake, TO comment or refuse to
comment, as the case may be,
without any regard whatever
for the dictates of right and jus.
tice. Nevertheless, l have some
consolation in the faith that this
is not the case with all news
papers.
Hole No. 3. Around the edges
of this hole, you emphasize the
benefit of an Interchange OF
views and mutual consultation
enjoyed by dozen men in a
jury room" AS we peer through
this hole we behold the sad and
melancholy panorama of the in
terror of court house, or So
called "Temple of Justice"
Here we behold all the neces-
sary officers of the court at their
proper stations, a1d case after
case being disposed Of. Finally
a lase is taken up against man
for murder. Twelve men are
chosen to weigh the evidence,
pro and con. on the scales of

manner IN which they were ma
nipulated. lest we "tend TO de.
stroy the respect and the con-
hdence of the people in the
courts Of the land"
Hole No 8. Around the ragged
edges OF this hole we read that
it ls "presumption on the part
OF newspaper man or other in
dividual to set up his Judgment
against that of twelve men es-
pecially charged with the de.
termination of the guilt or inno.
cence of a prisoner at the bar of
Justice" But taking peep
through this hole, We behold the
Declaration of American inde-
pendence, written and sealed
with the blood of patriots, and
looking little farther we get a
plain view of the constitution of
the United States of America.
and we are thereby reminded of
the TACT that we are citizens of
America, the greatest country in
the world; the country that ad.
vocates equal rights to all and
special privileges to none; that
all men are free and equal before
the law the country that guar
antees to every citizen, though

such as married. the most dismal
periods of nations of antiquity.
Hole No. 4. Around this hole,
we read warnings of the danger
of adverse criticism, in destroy
ing "the respect and confidence
of the people in the courts of the
land" As we gaze through this
hole, what do we sees Thous-
ands of patriotic citizens, who
love right and justice, through
out the county, throughout the
state, throughout the nation,
who are shocked at such a YER.

They are deploring and express

a miscarriage OF Justice, in tones
which cannot be misunderstood;
which is not only their god-given
right but their duty ss well.
