BAPTlSTS WON AGAIN
Defeated Presbyterians 8 to 6.

The Baptists and the Presbyterians
of the S. S. league met at Hanover
park Tuesday p. m. and when the
game closed the Baptists had again
taken the Presbyterians scalp to the
tune of 9 to 6, thereby adding another
gem to their large crown.
The Presbyterians had the Baptists
guessing up to the 7th inning, when
due to errors by the Presbyterian play
ers and good stick work by Baptists,
the latter's score was increased points.
For several innings the Presbyterians
were one score ahead. A ninth inning
rally brought in scores for the Pres
byterians. Smith for the Presbyterians
caught well.
Haislip was hit harder by the Presby-
terians than ever before, but the hits
were scattered. Payne, Bauman and
Smith led their team in batting, while
for the Baptists every player is credi-

with two. There were several good

are voting on this most important
question
The argument offered in defense
of the two Objectionable caucus
rules which are responsible for the
expensive deadlock. for unduly
lengthening the legislative session
and blocking the public business is,
that such rules were invoked on
former occasions, This is no argu-
ment and no defense. Such rules
were part and parcel of the old
convention system which drove the
people to revolt and resulted in the
compulsory primary election law.
The main purpose the people con-
tempIated by the adoption of the
primary election law was to put
these arbitrary and destructive
practices forever behind them and
to move out into the sunlight of a
closer and more direct control by
the people over the selection and
election of those who are to fill
their public official positions
It will be seen therefore. that the
position taken by the caucus is re-
dictionary and violative Of the spirit
of the primary method of making
nominations. to which all Missis.

The Secret Ballot Caucus Was Re.
actOnary.

The aggravating, expensive and
Improbable senatorial deadlock in
jackson, Miss, was made possible
by the adoption OF two particular
rules by the caucus. both of which
are unwise and not in harmony
with the trend of modern evolution
in party methods, as expressed IN
the popular demand for the nom
ination of public officers by the
primary method. These unwise
rules are those requiring a secret
ballot in the caucus, and the COM
pulsory scattering of the vote
when the ballot is taken in the
formal joint sessions of the two
houses.
The first rule is un-D Democratic
and yioIative Of the principle that
underlies the general demand for
the making of nominations by the
primary method; and the second
rule is repugnant to the spirit of
the Constitution, in that it takes
the selection Of Senator out of
the hands of the General Assembly
and lodges it in the hands Of a
party caucus, leaving to the Gen.
|eral Assembly only the privilege of
ratifying the caucus action. The
trend of all modern reform in
political practices has been in the
direction Of giving the people more
direct control over the election Of
the men who are to serve them in
official station, and Mississippi was
one Of the first of the States to
adopt with enthusiasm the primary
method of making nominations.
The primary method was resort
ed to ID order to protect the people
against the methods of the old con-
vention plan. whereby dark lantern
practices and secret caucus con-
Ispiracies SO often defeated the pop
ular will. The secret ballot rule
in the caucus can serve only ore
practical purpose. and that is to
keep the people Ia ignorance with
regard to the manner ii which
their representatives are carrying

A
his 30 days in the street gang.
It is learned by The Leader from
ex-M Marshal Hurst that the books at
the express Office show that Burt
Nelson received in his name last
week $50 pints of whisky, in addi-
tion to $50 pints on Feb. 10Th. Al
tired Roberts. drayman, has also
been getting whisky, in big case
lots by express and freight. and
Mr.. Hurst states that from the in-
vestigation he has made and the in
formation gained. all Of this liquor
went to the Inez.
Before closing it is in place to
say here that the Messrs. Ford,
present proprietors of the Inez
Hotel, might just as well under
stand that the people of this COM
munity have had quite enough of
the liquor selling and allied forms
Of vice going on for so long around
that place. These negroes who
are being jerked up from time to
time, and in reference to which the
Fords always show such solicitude
to get out of the clutches of the
law, are well understood by the
general public as being only dunn
my liquor sellers for somebody at
that Hotel and that the law has
not yet got its clutches on the
men higher up, who should right
fully be on the city chain gang or
county farm if Justice had her
own. The good people here be-
lieve this and they have borne
enough and about made up their
minds to act on their belief.
Moreover, there is law that
makes the landlord or property
owner liable for the sale of liquor
carried on upon his premises with
his knowledge, and the Fords must
be blind indeed if, in the face Of
the arrest Of several of their em-
ployees within the last few months
and so many other facts of common
knowledge, they do not know and
can not find out that liquor is being
repeatedly sold in the Inez by some
one connected with the premises.
About the only other men who
appear as blind as the proprietors
as to what is going on around the
Inez in this line. are some of our
police officials.
Mayor Hoffman, the members of
the Board of Aldermen and Attor-
ney Jones and Maui and Ex- Marshal
Hurst are to be commended for the
start they have made toward secur-
ing better condition of affairs in
regard to enforcing the law. The
records of the Mayors Court have
been showing entirely too many
"drunks' of late (nearly all arrest
ed by the same policeman), and
places like the Bass joint and the
Inez tiger department are evidently
responsible for them.
Let the Mayor and City Attor-
neys proceed next against land
lords and property owners who are
responsible for furnishing quarters
for the blind tigers as we'll as
against the tigers themselves.

TIGER CASES OF INTEREST.

put in the city Jail and that night
the door was unlocked by some un-
known party, and the alleged
''blind one" has not been seen
since.
The other case was that of Burt
Nelson, a negro porter in the Inez
Hotel, a hostelry which has become
famous" the past few months for
the amount of booze said to be dis
pensed around the precincts of the
hotel. Ex-Marshal Hurst also
made this affidavit, which was sery-
ed by Policeman Mcbride, and the
trial came off Thursday afternoon
in the Mayors office, large crowd
being ID attendance. The most
damaging evidence was given, the
negro being given $10O and 80 days
on the streets by Mayor Hoffman.
City Attorney P. 2. Jones, assisted
by Hon. j. A. Maui, prosecuted the
case, Mr.. Maui being most caustic
in some of his remarks about the
way things have been run at the
Inez Hotel for some time past, and
when he came to a spade he called
it by its proper cognomen. Hon.
j. B. Webb did the best he could
for a bad case.
At an informal meeting of the
Board Thursday night a heart-to-
heart talk was had by the Board
with all of the policemen, it having
been vaguely rumored around town
that the police had not used due
diligence in confining Bass.
Marshal Smylie Blue demanded
that if there were any charges to
be made against anyone that it be
done. and questioned the rightsaf-
the Board to summon the police
men; but when informed by the
Mayor that they were all employees
of the city and were accountable to
the board for their acts, he with
drew his remarks.
After much discussion, a propo-
sition from Mr.. Print Ford, of the
lnez Hotel, was made through May
or Hoffman, to the effect that if
the 80 days Imprisonment was re-
mitted from the negro's sentence
that the fine would be paid and no
appeal taken, and that a satisfac-
tory showing would be made to the
council (although Mr.. Ford failed
to state how, and that no more
liquor would be sold at his hotel.
Each member of the board person
ally rejected this proposition.
A reward of $1OO was offered for
the party or parties who turned
Bass out of Jail and an additional
reward of $50 for Bass capture and
delivery in Brookhaven. After a
short executive session with the
members of the police department
the board adjourned.

negro, on being informed yesterday
morning of the boards action.
