ident Fairbanks.
BLACKLIST OF CRIMES
Wanton and Indiscriminate
Attacks on Public Men
Are Designated.

OMAHA, July 19-"Men who VIII
wantonly and maliciously assail our
public servants-no matter what
their political faith may be, and who
are faithful to public duty-are
traitors to the state, no matter how
lofty their hypocritlcal professions
may seem to sound" So said for
mer Vice-President Fairbanks, in
the course of an address before the
advertising clubs of America today.
"one of the marked features of re-
cent years has been the indiscriminate
abuse of men in public position. The
malodorous muck-raker fourished
for time, but he has come to be an.
object of contempt, since his reckless
ness and insincerity have become
manifest. Abuse OF the liberty of
the press, the attempt to malign
other men and by falsehood to de-
stroy their character, whether In
private or public life, has come to-
be recognized as the blacklist among
the entire catalogue of crises.
Hon-st Criticism Just.
No public official, however high,
should be immune from just crit
cism. But they should not be sub
iected to much OF the abuse that Is
heaped upon them by the muck
rakers and sensationalists, who are
actuated only by sordid mercenary
motives or by some other equally un-
generous purpose far short of the
public interest. There is perhaps
nothing more reprehensible than the
loose Impeachment OF the motives
of the Chief Executive; the down
right misrepresentation of his acts;
distortion of his record by suppress
sion of the truth or by pure false
hood. No possible good can result
therefrom; on the contrary, in the
end confidence in the government
itself is undermined. 1t may be di-
vertlng to a certain class to witness
such brutality towards the head of
the nation, but upon sober reflection
they must perceive the hurtful re-
suits which flow from it and which,
in the final analysis, damage all
alike.
Bcgets DistruSt.
What has been said OF the execu-
tive applies with like force to the in
discriminate reckless assault upon
the Congress. Like the president,
the law-making body should well
come honest criticism and fair de-
bate, but wholesale abuse, unfound-
ed utterance, respecting the integri-
ty and patriotism of those who
frame and administer the peoples
laws, beget distrust, want of cou-
fidence and doubt as to the benefi-
cence of the government itself.
"lf measures are devised in spe-
cial interest turn the light upon
them and their authors with unspar-
ing severity. But we should differ
entiate with great care the good
from the evil; uphold those who
arc devoted to the faithful and hon
est discharge of public duty. and
smite without mercy those who De-
tray their public trust. We should
not, however, heap upon all indIs-
criminate abuse and thereby briag

Tallahatchie Drainage Law to the peo-
pie of the district.
In the Senate 1,O4S,71S acres are rep
resented by those favorable to the
proposition, or 3d. per cent.
Members Of the House representing
per cent. of the lands, and g. per cent.
in the Senate, oppose the proposition to

through my loins laid me up on more
than one occasion. l could hardly
straighten and can only describe the
misery by saying that it felt as il the
flesh and muscles in my back were be-
ing twisted. There was also difficulty
with the kidney secretions, the pas
sages often being scanty and distress

CIRCUIT COURT HAND
TWELVE TO THE pen.
None OF These Will Take Appeal, aad
Have Been Sent TO Pen,

Circuit Court adjourned the latter
part of last week, having disposed Of
quite heavy docket. But as is gem
orally the case, heavy number Of
cases were continued until next term.
Fifty cases were carried over until
next term.
The Thornton case resulted in an
other mistrial, as was expected, tho
jury returning with nine for acquittal
and three for manslaughter. This case
has been in the court for three terms,
and from the present outlook it seems
to be hard proposition, and is costing
the state quite neat sum for its pros
ecution. This last time it was quite q
difficult matter to find jury for the
case, as almost everyone is familiar by
now vith most of the facts.
The result of last Saturdays work Of
the Court was rs follows: Harrison
Stewart sent to the farm for thirty
days; Tony Robins was adjudged not
guilty of murder; Thornton Gibson was
fined s10O and given thirty days; and
J. Il. Glenn was given a fine of 80 days
and 500 for carrying concealed weap-
ons.
Judge Cashin and his court were for
tunate with large list of convictions.
or the following who were convicted
OF their various charges, all but four
have been sent to Belmont farm near
Tchula. The other four received their
transportation to the farm this week.
Their names, crimes and sentences are:
Mansfield Newsom, forgery, two
years.
Pete Banks, burglary, two years.
Gum Gray, murder, life.
Will Nance, intent to kill, five years.

|DR. BAlDWIN'S RECTAL
MAS MUCH ENJOYED.
Ian Church.

Tho organ recital given by Prof.
Baldwin st the First Presbyterian
church last Friday and Sunday eve
nings whre the rarest musical treat his
auditors over had the pleasure to hear.
His hearers were thrilled through and
through under the spell of his skillful
manipulation and only wished to listen
to him always.
Tho numbers, which were well ar
ranged, were rendered by master,
and it will be long time before Green
wood has tho good fortune to hear such
another musician.
Prof. Baldwin has played before
kings, and all the notables of our own
country, and 10 = noted composer. He
played many Of his own compositions,
and they were pronounced the best of
all tho numbers rendered.
Al climax, he played his own mas
terpieco, and to secure the full scenic
effects, the lights were turned OFF, while
the lightning flashed, the thunder
doomed, and everyone could almost see
tho peaks and crags stand out in relief.
- tho lightning revealed them.
The audience regretfully dispersed,
wishing that the time would not be
long before Prof. Baldwin will return
and give another recital.
The recitals were made more enjoy
able by the vocal renditions of Mes
Miller, Miss Lois Harvey, and Mr..
Baker, accompanied on the organ by
Mrs. r.. A. Topp.

UP.TO-DATE NOVEL,
Advertising Methods Adopted by an Enter
prlsIRg House,

The Shute's Drug Store is fast be.
coming metropolitan in the methods
of advertising used by our merchants
to call the buying public attention to
the many splendid values which they
! are offering, also that the wide-awake
firm Of Shute's Drug Store are keep
ing up with and just a little ahead Of
the times in an advertising respect
is again practically demonstrated by
what is perhaps the most elaborate
system of advertising ever attempted
by any business house in this section,
namely; the giving away Of the beau
tiful Upton Parlor Grand piano
which IS now upon exhibition at
their store.
This piano retails at $4,000 each,
guarantee for ten years. The prin-
eipal points of superiority Of the
celebrated Upton piano over any
other of this class Of instruments lie
in the three strings in Unison with
.oYerstrung bass, the splendidly
pitched scale and tfHe sounding
board which give the Upton that rich,
deep, even tone so much admired.
In a recent interview with Dr..
F. C. Shute regarding this decided
innovation in advertising, DR.. Shute
stated: I'VE have been enjoying the
patronage and confidence of the buy
ers of this community for some time
now and by always trying to keep
our stocks complete the saying that
You can get it at Shute's, has be-
come a household expression. In
giving away this piano we are ac-
tuated by a double purpose, to show
our appreciation of the patronage of
our friends during the past, also to
encourage new trade and to bring
the many splendid values we are
now showing in all lines to the at
tention of every buyer in this terri
tory. The plan we are using in Civ
ing away this piano is equitable and
fair to all, simply this, every person
one dollars worth Of any
thing in our store will receive a
coupon good for 100 votes. The per-
son returning to US the largest num-
Der Of votes will be given the piano
absolutely free of all cost. No fa-
gors will be shown. Our reputation
for square dealing assures our Gus
Of that fact"
This four hundred dollar Upton
Parlor Grand piano is surely a pres
ent worth having and we predict a
very merry race" for coupon votes
the next few months.
Shute's Drug Store are surely to be
congratulated upon their broad
minded methods and Trade Getter"
advertising system.
