How About it?

At a meeting of the Wither-
spoon forces held in Meridian
last week, Hon. Hardy Stone was
chosen chairman OF the meeting.
and according to both the Meri-
! dian papers used about this lam
guage in taking his chair: II am
going to work for him heart and
soul. for | believe he is the man
for the office and If elected he
would represent all of the people
and not any Especial class" This
is as near the quotation as we
can get it from the reports of the
pdpers).
Coming at the time and
place it did and from
the chairman Of the Witherspoon
meeting. it must have a mean-
ing, and not merely few un-
thoughted words thrown togeth-
ell. He certainly intended to
convey the idea that some con-
eressman had represented a
especial class" and that some
body was no other than our pres
ent conel essman. who is also an
aspirant for the place. Plainly
stated his language means that
Byrd has been the representative
of special Glass;
Now. we all know that there is
one class thai Mr.. Byrd has re-
fused to represent in congress,
and that that class is no other
than the lumber trust now in the
tolls for violating our law against
combines. 1t will be remember
ed that Mr.. Byrd was called to
Meridian just before the special
session of congress convened to
confer with these people regard
ing his prospective action in re-
gard to voting for a $500 taliff
on lumber. and that the club of
defeat was held over his head if
he refused. 1t is remembered.
too, that he tlatly refused TO
agree to cast the vote requested,
and that he did vote against
tariff of $500 per thousand on
lumber.
Now. We want to know if Mr..
Witherspoon is in favor of a
tariff on lumber. Will he do the
bidding of the lumber trust? Is
his candidacy to carry out the

Hon. G. l.. DObbs Ap-
pointed Judge.

The many friends of Hon.
G. L Dobbs, of this city,
were graditied Saturday, to
learn that he was appointed
judge of this the eight ju-
dicial district. His appoint
ment had been confidently
expected for some time, yet
it's announcement elected
general rejoicing and dem
onstration of enthesamstic
approval.
Mr.. Dobbs was in Jackson
when appointmentwasmade
Returning home Sunday, he
was met at Union by a del
egation of his townsmen,
who were proud to do him
honor. The newly organized
Philadelphia brass band,
accompanied by a large
number of the towns citizens
met him at the depot and
give him IA hearty welcome
home. These marks OF
esteem, coming unexpected
ly as they did, so surprised
and overwhelmed this young
wearer OF the many greeting
save to grasp the proffered
hand OF congratulation.
Mr.. Dobbs fully appreciate
the responsibilities he has
assumed in accepting this
office; and, being a man of
honor, well educated in both
literature and law, and OF
large mental grasp, we pre-
dict for him a very enviable
career as Judge.

terestlnS arguments and
statements to listen to dur
ing the past few weeks and
while it is not likely that
any reduction in the price
OF food will result, some
facts have been brought out
and Others will be, which
may lead to serious thought t
by the American consumer.
One peculiar statement was
made by a "canny" Scotch
man who knows more about
the cattle business perhaps
than any other man in this
country. His name is
Murdo Mackenzie.
Mackenzie is Il manager
for large companies operat-
ing greatcattle raising plants
! in Canada, in the Dakotas,
in Colorado, in Texas, in
Oklahoma and New Mexico.
He showed to the commit
tee why the price of cattle
will i'll all probability never
decrease and he asserted
that i'll his Judgement the
price Of beef will never again
be low for the reason that
the ranges upon which
thousands of animals run
and were fed 20 years ago
have gradually been cut up
into farms, and the white
cotton boil to-day covers
thousands OF acres in Texas,
for instance, where a few
years ago the white faced
hereford dotted the lands
cape.
He assumed the committee,
however, by expressing the
opinion that in his Judge
ment the introduction of the
telephone has a great deal
to do with the high cost of
food stuffs. Asked to eX-
plain, Mr.. Mckenzie said:
"That before the telephone
came into practically uni
versal use the housewife
would start out with a
basket to market or the cor
ner store and would buy her
supplies and carry them
home, but with d telephone
she sits in her chair aud or
ders her supplies; which OF
course must be sent to her.
The result is that the small
grocer on the corner and the
market dealer has been COM
PEELED to buy horses and
wagons with which to sup
ply his customers if he de
sired to hold his trade. The
original cost OF this addi-
tlOn 10 hls plant as we'll ms

the cost of food for stock
and the repairs to vehicles
together with the rental of

by the retailer to the cost
of the supplies which he sells

discovery In that line, and one that

While the fiscal year 1910 brougl

While the fiscal year 1910 brought
a total Of 1,198,o37 immigrants to
the United States, the prediction is
made that the coming year will ap-
proach the banner year 1907 when
more than 1,2S5,000 aliens came in.
OF all those who came this year more
than 274,000 admitted they had been
assisted by friends. All the immi-
grants brooght a total Of s2S,197,'
745 with them, q per capita Of about
$27.
The bulk OF the immigration con-
tinues to be draw. from southern
and eastern Europe. Two per cen:
of all who applied for admission
were turned back. They numbered
24,270 in all as against 10,411 In
1909. Though no increase in at
tempts to import contract labor Is
apparent, 1,7O0 aliens were deported
as such during the year.
Most OF these emigrants are ignor.
ant ard superstitious, and bring over
with them all the vicious habits
learned in the old country, and which
they practice here. Such people are
not needed In this country, AMI II
would be q good thing II most Of
them were excluded from out shores

Vote Selling in Ohio.

The revelation now being made in
Adams County, Ohio, in reference to
vote buying and vote selling. indi-
Gates how the Republican party with
the immense corruption fund suppli-
ed 1t by the trusts managed to per-
petrate its power. A more appalling
picture of corruption among the vot-
ers than Adams County actually pre-
sents as the result Of the Grand Ju-
ry's action has never been drawn OF
any community on this continent.
Already indictments have been
found against over 1 900 voters for
selling their votes and the total num-
ber may run to 5000. Judge A. q.
Blair, who started the investigation,
in charge to the Grand Jury said
that the purchasable vote Of tie
county was over one-third Of the to-
tai vote and in the last thirty years
there had hardly been an honest
election. Lists Of voters and the
prices for which each could be
bought were found in four-ffths OF
the poling-places Of the county and
were used by both parties.
From the testimony before the
court It seems that the election au-
thorities openly participated in the
purchase and sale Of votes. Farmers
have been known publicly to auction
off their votes to the highest bidder
without causing comment, let alone
arrest. Conditions prevailing in Ad-
ANS County are said to exist in parts
Of other counties In Ohio. 1t is
the county districts that are especial
ly under suspicion, and the same
circumstance is generally to be oh.
served-where there Is the least or
ganized vigilance and publicity in
elections, fraud and corruption are
most likely to flourish.
These Ohio farmers who confess
to selling their vote are well-to-do,
substantial citizens, who seem to
think it no harm to turn an honest
penny by selling votes to those who
will pay the most for them. Such
men have no true conception OF what
citizenship really means, and they
should not be allowed to vote. We
would be sorry for the fellow who at
tempted to buy the votes Of our far
mers on election day. He would be
taught lesson he would not soon
forget. But 1t is different in Ohio.
