dailies and weeklies, especially In Missis-
sippi at this particular time, to ridicule
a man or an editor who happens to say
or publish things, or differ with them in
politics. Such was the case only last week
when the editor of the Jackson News
printed a column editorial belittling and
bemeaning Editor Cunningham of the
Newton Record Whatever Cunningham
did publish in his periodical the Register
cares nothing about and will not undertake
to explain, but the innuendoes, ephithets
and personalities from both grew out of
petty, peevish, peanut pclitics-a thing
that didn't amount to gingersnap. Such
language, as contained in both the News
and the Record, aside from a political
fact or two, were only weaklings of
journalism Either of the editors can re-
fleet on their files few months later
and see what useless, silly tommy-rot il
all amounted to. To call a man a puppy,
cur or noodle does not necessarily
signify that he is really one To call a
man a puppy, cur or a noodle does not

a man liar sometimes brings horse pistols

nobody is vindicatcd You may publish
that a man is a liar, cur, puppy OF
a noodle when he is IS miles away, OF
call him up over the telephone and say
these things to him with much more ease

rows IN the lounge OF their hotel. they
hung about the entrance hail. they
