Snuff and a Crook.

Robert pinkerton once told a story
of his father, the founder OF the de-
tective agency. which illustrates tho
elder Pinkerton's caution. A noted
criminal was detained In Pinkerton's
Chicago office. The elder Pinkerton
left the room and when he returned
took the precaution Of holding re-
yolver in front Of him ready for use.
He saw the criminal standing by the
door with a snuffbox he had picked
I'D from Pinkerton's desk in his hand.
This is good snuff" affably re-
marked the crook as he took sniff.
"For the eyes or the noseT asked
Pinkerton. who knew that the crook
had intended to blind him In an effort
to escape.

Macon beacon., 1910-02-04

Mr.. Vardaman's reply to Mr. Per
cy's letter, which itself had been call
ed out by editorials in Vardaman's Is
sue, has appeared, 1t is in very strong
contrast to Mr.. VaLdaman's attacks on
President Roosevelt, DR.. Ewing, Bish-
op Galloway and others. In fact in his
reply to Mr.. Percy Mr.. Vardaman
roars as mildly as any sucking dove
1t seems that the editor of The Issue
uses his heavy artillery only on presi-
dent, ministers of the gospel and other
non-combatants, while at Mr. Percy's
attack he retires to the dignifed re-
trenchment of not indulging in person
alites.
The assertion of the ex-governor
that he ''did not desire to indulge in
personalities" must have caused even
DR.. B. F. Ward to smile. Those who
are familiar with the brilliant rhetoric
and bitter vituperativeneSs of Brann of
Iconoclastic fame, can easily see that
many of the editorials of the Green
wood Commonwealth and the Issue
were modelled on some of similar arti-
cles from the pen of Brann, and that
they lack not the venom or bitterness
or offensive personalities, but are only
wanting in the genius and beautiful
rhetoric which characterized that mas
ter of invective and vituperation,
Some friend of Mr.. Vardaman should
commend to. his perusal those chapters
in Plckwick Papers in which Mr.. Potts
of the Evansville Gavatte figures.
If study of Mr.. Potts journalism
and his present experience results in
eliminating from the ex-governor s
paper, the Issue, that tone of coarse
invective and offensive defamatory die
tion which mar in some respects an ex-
cellent paper, the editor will have
cause to be congratulated.
