Wonderfully Strange.

Quite a number of our State
exchanges are filled with wild
and extravagant articles in sup
port of Hon. J. K. Vardaman for
u. S. Senator. Some of them
go so far as to say that the OPP
position to him is unjustifable.
and is an effort on the part of
unworthy politicians to defeat
the wishes of the mass of the
people. The claim is bombasti-
cally made that the Vardaman
crowd only, represent all of the
honesty in the politics of the
State.
1t is true that there are a large
number of people in the State
consisting Of both men and
women, who feel that the cleo
ton of Mr.. Vardaman to the
Senate of the United States
would be the greatest political
calamity that could happen to
the State. Such an election
would place the conserv tive
thinking people of the State at
great disadvantage before the
nation, and would result in dis
counting the solid conservatism
of our people. The most thought
full people of the nation regard
Mr.. Vardaman's candidacy and
following as the outgrowth of
wild fanaticism and the out
groupings of a bitter. unworthy
and mean prejudice. 1t is not
true that the opposition to this
fanaticism and prejudice comes
from political tricksters and dis
honest. unworthy combines is so,
why does it exist among so many
conservative, thoughtful people,
both men and women, who have
no political ak whatever to grind
Men and women who are not
known in politics and who
could only have the good of the
State at heart in their position in
this contest.
Some of these wild fanalical
newspapers will have to offer
apologies some day for their I'M
tenable position and incorporate
language in the contest.-West

Democracy of the sort that
Messrs. Percy and Alexander are
preaching to the people of Miss
issippi is the kind that never
dies. It's principles will live on
as fragrant and as chaste and as
inspiring as they were in the
long ago when individual liberty
escaped from the tomb of barba-
rism and lisped it's first prayer
for the dawn of the day which
should recognize the inalienable
rights of men.
Percy ard Alexander are tell
ing the people that Mississippi
has an inalienable right to handle
all of her domestic problems
without interference from a Re-
publican North; that we do not
need or desire an appeal from
our own conclusions of the ne
gro problem to that hostile
country north of the Mason and
Dixon line; that the true and
unterrified democracy Of Mississ-
ippi has eliminated the negro
from polite, and is capable of
keeping him eliminated without
carrying the question to a for
eign court for settlement.
This is genuine democracy. 1t
breathes the spirit of our peo-
pie. It is emphatic declaration
that we have the ability and the
courage to meet any phase of
the negro problem that may con-
front US. and solve it with Cod
given reasons and equal and ex-
act justice. 1t is, in brief, a
concrete exemplifcation of the
fact that the spirit of state rights
still prevails among our people.
False leaders, false teachers,
false prophets and false issues
may come and go, but the fight
for democracy and it's living
truths will go on forever. If
you doubt it go read the pages
Of history, go study the results
of experimental legislation and
demagogic agitation in this and
every other cline, and you will
be convinced. jackson News.

There is a country where ba-
bieS never hear harsh words,
says an exchange: Strangely
enough, it is a country where
missionaries feel there is plenty
of work for them to do. 1t is a
province in Southern Africa, and
the people, who never quarrel in
the presence of their children,
are the Ekoi. P. A. Talbot, who
has passed many years among
them, told recently of the GUS
toms of this odd race. 1.-The
Ekoi." said he, ARE devoted
parents and they have curious
beliefs as to the advent and
death of babies. One supersti-
ton forbids all quarreling in the
house where there are little chill.
dren. The children, they say,
love kind looks and gentle voices,
and if these are not to be found
in family they will close their
eyes and forsake the earth until
they get a chance to be reincar-
mated in less quarrelsome sur.
roundings." Talbot, however,
pointed out that the people have
not yet grasped the Importance
of fresh air and sanitary living.

Compromise

We + reliably informed that
the cas- agasnst MI. r. B. Talbert,
late cashier of the NJ. & F. Bank,
has been mol pressed by the court
upon the payment to the defunct
Bank by Mr.. Talbert, of the sum
of Sc, 39O.29. This as we under
stand it, is the amount due the
Bank by Mr.. Talbert, and all in
dictments are withdrawn. We are
relirbly informed that about half
of this amount was for stock that
MI Talbert had been authorized
to buy in for the Bank. 1t is but
due Mr.. Talbert to state this his
brother, who is copected with
one of the largest banks in n. Y.
City, came to his rescue and furn-
ished him the money to pay the
matter off.-WinstOn Journal.

The State of New York offered
eleven millions of 5O-year gold
bonds, carrying interest at a per
cent per annum, the other day.
The proceeds are to be used in
the reconstruction Of the canal
system. The security is gilt
edged, from all points of view.
Yet the bids amounted to only
SO, 758, 900, at a premium of less
than l per cent, and the State
had to take the remainder for ac-
count of the sinking fund. Ey-
erywhere, except in France, the
story is the same. Borrowers
are more numerous than lenders
and the basic rate of interest
tends upward in consequence.
The reason for this dearth of
capital is not difficult to discern.
The high cost of living and the
pressure of taxation make it hard
for the average household to
save, and money commands a
higher price when it is scarce,
as cotton does. If the case were
otherwise, we should not see the
best stocks selling on a level that
yields 6 per cent to the investor.
There will, of course, come a
time when the situation will
right itself through an enforced
abstention from borrowing on
the part of governments. com
munities and individuals alike.
In that event, the rate of inter-
est will automatically fall, for
the law Of supply works without
fail in the establishment of val
ues.
Americans are prone to lose
sight Of these things in a period
of boom. AS a race, we love to
paint the future in the hues of
the dawn. To us the prosaic
methods of accumulation make
almost no appeal. We live, as
we trade. too largely ION mar
gin" When SETTLING day" ar
riyes, we find that dreams will
not. discharge debts. Our ma
tibnal, State and city govern
ments reflect the extravaganza
of the masses. We waste, as the
French save; from force of habit.
This tendency is the more un-
fortunate just.now, because the
reports from the fields indicate
that WeHafe. face to face with
crops which will leave an unus-
ually small surplus for export.
The balances due to Europe will,
therefore, have TO be met by
shipping securities, or gold. In
the end, we shall emerge from
the ordeal triumphant, but it
would be foolish to blink the
facts meanwhile. The richest
people may fritter it's resources
away and thus destroy its credit.
There is but one remedy for
this deep-seated disease. When
Americans are as intent upon
saving as they now are upon
spending, American stocks and
bonds will take care of them
selves, We must give the print
ing press a rest and do stunts
with the pillow.

The average newspaper usually
is controlled by it's owner, and he
is supposed to be in duty bound to
make all sorts of sacrifices at all
sorts of times; there are people
who consider it his duty to insult
his advertisers, just to show that
he is free and independent. If he
show a decent respect for his pa
irons, who pay him their money
and make it possible for him to
carry on the business, he is "sub-
sidized" or controlled. The news
paper owner is a business man, like
the dry goods man, the grocer, or
the banker. The merchants are
expected to have consideration for
their customers, and they are not
supposed to be subsidized by the
man who spends five dollars with
them, but the publisher is ex-
cepted to demonstrate his courage
by showing that he is ungratefuI for
the patronage Of his friends. 1t is
a funny combination, when you
think it over. Emporia Gazette.
