Says the eminently fair % Clarion
Ledger: "But so far the evidence has
not been produced to prove the asser-
tion." The Gil. was referring, Incl
dentally, (quite incidentally, indeed) to
the charges made three months ago by
itself, the jackson News, the VicksburP
Herald and other rabid-anti- Vardaman
newspapers. that, while he was gov
ernor, Vardaman used a free pass over
the Gulf 4 Ship Island railroad. II e
ex-governor nailed that lie by offering
to have published in The Issue a picture
of that pass if it was in existence and
his traducers would have it photo
graphed. Since that challenge, the
great dailies of Jackson and the rene
gade Herald Of Vicksburg have had
nothing to say about the G. & s. 1.
pass, save the incidental and possibly
accidental, assertion made last Sunday
by the Clarion Ledger, which we quote.

NV enemies seem to prefer mention
ing the pass and commenting on it,
rather than bringing it out and letting
all of us see it and know just exactly
what it is.

vARDAMAN's RAILROAD PASS.

In a communication to the editor Of
the Yazoo Sentinel, Mr.. Cicero Heard,
q well-known citizen Of Utica who is
afflicted with q bad Ease Of Vardamar-
tits, asks this question:
"What about the railroad pass MAJ,
vardaman illegally used? ! wonder il
this charge is to be held back to the
| list so as to allow the accused no op-
. ,rtunity to explain. or in reality, Was
it not all a dream?"
1t won't hurt you a bit to wonder,
Mr.. Heard, and, if the occupation gives
you any pleasure, keep right at it.
However, if it will relieve your mind
Of any worry, the Daily News is quite
willing to inform you that Round Trip

him, is still in existence, and will be

he knows that he used it, he knows
that his signature is on its back. and he

Mr. ROOSEVELT RETURNS.

Alter an aDSenSe Oh llIleeH
months, eX President Theodore
Roosevelt arrived in New York
harbor. Great preparation had
been made TO welcome Mr.. Roose-
welt, and the demonstration has
never been exceeded in this coun-
try.
In studying the character of
Mr.. Roosevelt, it is hard to tell
Just what there is in his makeup
that gives him the hold upon the
people of this country. Except
for his bruske manner and decid-
ed stand upon public questions,
there is nothing in his career to
distinguish him from other ex-
Presidents. During his service
in the White House. Mr.. Roose
welt gave out no papers like those
of Jefferson, Madison, Monroe or
Grover Cleveland, but aside from
a directness characteristic of the
man, his public documents were
not above the average attained
by the Presidents.
Mr. Roosevelt has been the
best advertised President. How
this came about, no one can tell.
That lie has sought advertise
ment cannot be charged against
him, but he has been constantly
before the public eye. With the
exception of Presidents Grant,
Cleveland and Roosevelt our eX-
Presidents have dropped out of
the pubic mind and have been
permitted to enjoy private life
Gen. Grant traVeleda great deal
and remained before the public
to such an extent that he develr
oped considerable strength in his
party for the third term. Only
after this defeat was he elimi-
mated. Mr.. Cle7eland. after be-
ing defeated after one term. re-
tanned his hold upon the public
to such an extent as to receive
practically a unanimous endorse
ment and nomination by his party
four years later. He was trium-
phantly elected, defeating Ben
iaman Harrison who had defeat
ed him.
What Mr.. Roosevelt's aspira-
tons are he declines to divulge.
If political, he will be a danger
Gus adversary in any contest.
1t is to be hoped that he will
honor and observe the tradition
of his country and lay aside any
aspirations to be president again
if he has such as aspirations. II
New York wants him in the Sen
ate he can there retain great
prestige and serve his country
well.
1t would be dangerous for him
TO attempt to break down the
soreaede.lts of the past and be
come PRECEDENT again. This
country should DOT follow the ex-
ample set by Mexico in the one
man power-an example when
Mr.. Roosevelt's admirers might
attempt to follow with him as
practically dictator like Diaz OF
Mexico.

WooDcRAFT PROSPEROUS.

WOoDCRAFT PROSPEROUS.
The phenomenal growth of
Woodcraft throughout the coun-
try has attracted widespread at
tention and reinsurance company
of any character enters a terri
tory with a view of doing bust
ness without coming in contact
with this benevolent and cheap
est of life insurance orders.
The organization was inspired
by an earnest desire to reach
those who were not able to af-
ford high class policies with
high premiums and the effo is of
the founders of Woodcraft have
been crowned with a success
that has extended far beyond
their most sanguipe expectations
In every section of the South
and West especially the promot-
ers and advocates of Woodcraft
have met with a hearty welcome
and in practically every town OF
any size there is a Camp duly
organized and offering the poor
man a safe and cheap protection
which he could not furnish his
family except through the be-
nevolencs Of this popular order.
From the first, this organization
has been managed upon safe and
sane business lines and at no
time has the affairs of the or
der been in a doubtful condition.
Investments that are accepted
by only the best business men of
the country have been taken by
those in authority and the sur-
plus account of the Woodmen of
the World is a monument to the
sagacity and discretion of the
benevolent men who have been
selected to manage the affairs of
the order.
The monuments that stand as
silent reminders of the lives OF
the comrades point to the fact
t'1at protection has been afforded
those left behind.
In our own midst Noodcraft
has prospered until today it is
the largest order of our city and
county. Our local Camp has
been active and the attraction of
good fellowship and cheap in
surapce has brought together q
fine body Of young men number
ing more taaa two hundred with
a constant flow of applications on
the clerks desk.
WhiIe the membership con-
tinues to grsw, the Camp has at
all times, under surveillance the
character Of the applicant and
none but the worthy are permit
ted to wear the badge of a Wood
man.
With this policy from the in
auguration Of the Camp, our
local Camp boasts an exemplary
membership where each member
is ready to extend the hand of
fellowship and to aid in every
way, his fellow sovereigns.
With this spirit, the Camp has
prospered and its affairs are in
a most healthful condition. The
promptness with which its obli-
cations have been met is a!
recommendation that cannot be
overlooked by a man seeking in
surance. The records are, at all
times, found to be in perfect or
der and the funds that are due

way there with q. ~promptness
