MISSISSIPPI.
MONSTER WAR VESSEL WILL COME TO

Congressman Dickson Successful in His
Efforts TO That End.

Washington, April 15.-Secre-
tary of the Navy Meyer today an
-nounced that he had decided to
grant the request Of the people of
the States of Mississippi, Louisi-
ana, Arkansas and Tennessee, to al
low the battleship Mississippi to
proceed up the Mississippi river as
far as Natchez. He has notified
the Gov. of Mississippi of this
decision, stating. that the Navy De-
partment is perfectly willing to
have the battleship at Horn Island
on the gulf coast on June l, so that
the presentation of the vessels
silver service by the people of Mis-
sissippi may be there. 1t is proba-
BILE, however, that the Governor
may change the place of presenta-
tion to Natchez since the Secretary
had decided to send the vessel to
that place.
The Mississippi will spend two
weeks on the trip up the river and
will visit New Orleans and other
places on her way.

Mississippi, represented through
forty-five clubs, will have delegates

ceptions and the generous and gen.
eral hospitality Brookhaven always

gates.

tion will be held on Tuesday even
ing at the Opera House, when well
comes will be spoken and responses
given, and the magic button press
ed, which will set the business ma
chinery in motion for the coming
days, Wednesday and Thursday.
The old saying that Woman
should be good for everything at
home, and good for nothing
abroad" will be ably refuted dur
ing the sessions of the Federation.

Gov. James K. Vardaman of Mis-

crowded house. Recent race
troubles in Springfield served to

problem. He was vigorously ap-

1t was, perhaps, the most striking
on the subject ever delivered here.

The charter of the Standard Oil
Company of Louisiana, with capit-
al of SIS, 900, has been filed. It is
proposed to Immediately begin the
construction of a 1000. 900 refinery
at Baton Rouge. 1t will run oil in
pipe lines from the Louisiana fields
and bring oil in ships from Okla
holna and Texas. The Standard
Oil Company cannot obtain a char
ter in Texas and some other States,
on account Of its being a trust,
and when the Standard gobbles up
all Of its oil fields and freezes out
all competitors, Louisiana will wish
she had adopted the Texas policy.

The SOrsby Verdict.

In county that has had its hun.
dreds of murders and yet has never
hung white man according to law
in all it's long history of nearly a
hundred years, as alleged by At
torney R. N. Miller, it was not to
be seriously expected that a Kinds
county jury would consent to the
death penalty in the case Of Will
Sorsby for the cowardly and cold
blooded murder of Chas. Fitzgerald
when it made up it's verdict last
Tuesday morning. There was not
one mitigating fact or circumstance
that justified that deed. 1t was
one that stood out naked and unre-
deemed in its atrocious character
by so much as one single feature,
and the jury might we'll have
afforded to break an old precedent
that had already lived far too long
and allow the gallows to claim its
own; but it chose to remain true to
Kinds county history and tradi-
tions, and once more the law and
outraged justice failed of full vim
dication. The fact, however, that
the specious insanity dodge, plead
ed with so much assurance, was
secuted and Sorsby found guilty,
meets with general approval out
side of his immediate circle of rel
atives and friends, even though
the verdict was a compromise one.
After all, the most discouraging
and demoralizing fact about the
verdict and all others like it is,
that life sentence in the peniten-
tiary doesn't mean a life sentence
any more. The Leader here makes
the prediction that within five years
from now, seven, at most, Sorsby
will be free man and frequenting
his old haunts, by reason Of the
much-abused pardoning power and
a weak, maudlin public sentiment
that appeals to and encourages it.
That is the way law and justice are
far too often cheated in Mississip-
pi today. When a murderer or rap
ist is sentenced to hang his sentence
is commuted to life Imprisonment
and life Imprisonment in these
cases and others is followed in
few years sometimes very few
by full pardon.
And it is the knowledge of this
kind of half sham execution of the
law in Mississippi that makes
human life SO cheap and which
prompted two young men in the
audience within hearing of the
writer when Mr.. Miller was max
ing the closing speech in the Sorsby
case Monday night to audibly re-
mark that they had rather take
their chances of escaping punish.
