PERCY'S CHALLENGE
PROMPTLY ACCEPTED
People of the State of Mississippi
Will Be Given Early Oppor-
tunity to Choose Senator for
the Long Term.

SpeCtut W me NStCS.
Jackson, Miss, April Ex-senator
Leroy Percy and former Governor
James K. Vardaman have each ad-
dressed a letter to Chairman c. L.
Lomax, of the state Democratic Ex-
ecutive committee, requesting the
committee to fix date in November
for white Democratic primary to
select the nominees for the party for
United States senator for the term
beginning in 1913.
This is in accordance with the chal-
lenge by Senator Percy to Mr.. Var
daman Friday, following his speech in
the house of representatives by invi-
tation of the Mississippi legislature.
Mr.. Vardaman has agreed to all Mr..
Percy's terms, and while they will be
the central figures in this spectacular
contest, it is practically certain that
other candidates will be in the field.
Friends of Mr. Charlton Alexander,
of this city, and Mr.. ]. c. Kyle, of
Sardis, are urging these gentleemn to
enter the race, and while neither has
expressed his purpose to do so, it is
the general belief and hope of their
friends that they will do so.
Senator Percy stipulated in his pro-
posal to the former governor that they
should meet in joint debate, and the
resolution adopted by the legislature.
requesting the state Democratic exec
utive committee to arrange for the
primary stipulates, that if Senator
Percy and Mr.. Vardaman fail to agree
upon dates for joint debates, it shall
be the duty of the committee to do so.
Mr. Percy is making plans for an ex-
tensive campaign, but these plans are
only tentative, and will be subject to
may arise.
Mr. Vardaman has already an
nounced his candidacy for 1911, and
has opened his campaign, making
speeches at oxford, Pontotoc and 9TH
er points in the state, and will contin-
ue to speak. Both candidates will
open headquarters in Jackson at an
early date, but Mr. Percy will be un-
able to do much campaigning till con-
gress adjourns.
With the rapidity with which the
wheel has been turning the last two
days, politicians are amazed. They
were astounded, first, at the boldness
of Senator Percy in returning from
Washington and proposing to submit
the question of his vindication to the
people on such short notice. But his
friends think this will be in his favor,
since Mr.. Vardaman has the advant-
age of having canvassed the state
several times for governor and once
for United States senator.
Mr.. Percy is good stump speaker,
and his bold declaration that he would
resign as United States senator if the
people did not, by nominating him
over Vardaman, vindicate him of any
connection with fraud or corruption
in the recent contest, indicates the
confidence he has in the people of the
state. The letters of Senator Percy
and Mr.. Vardaman to Chairman Lo-
max were posted Saturday.
The letters follow:

Assassinating A Justice.

The men who despise Favoritism to
criminals and love Justice will feel
outraged when they hear that the gov.
ernor of Tennessee. very soon after
the supreme court affirmed the SEN
tence of Col Cooper, issued pardon
to the murderer. The Associated
Press says ''the pardon coming so
soon after the action of the court. Gre

FAR WORSE Than
A NIGHTRIDER
Men Who Love Justice And Despse
Favoritism, Outraged at Pardon
OF An Assassin. Caught Red
Handed.

The Raleigh, On. c. News and OBJ
server, severely arraigns the Cover
nor of Tennessee, in the following Ian
guage:
Social position and political power
have once again made a mockery of
justice, and a southern state again
stands disgraced in the eyes of the
civilized world The murder of Goe-
bel by the connivance of the governor
of Kentucky was a stain upon the
good name of Kentucky, but political
passion had caused men to lose their
judgement in that commonwealth for
the time being. The murder of Car
mack, in a city quiet and orderly, was
a deliberate and indefensible assassi-
nation of the most gifted Tennessean.
The country feared the jury would
fail of its duty in view of the prom
inence and political influence of the
murderer and the pressure brought TO
bear to secure his acquittal. But once
again the jury system, with all its de-
fects, was shown to be the best meth
cd of securing justice that man has
devised and the jury of what was call
ed plain men" marched up to Duty.
There have been many criticisms of
juries, and they sometimes are de.
ceived and once in generation they
are bribed. But, except where there
is trickery or chichanery in drawing
iuries, they can be more safely trust
ed to do justice than any Judge or ex-
ecutive. In the Cooper case the Ten
nessee jury withstood the known de-
sire of the state government and in
fuential politicians and powerful so
cial influence. They heard the evi.
dence, and, giving the benefit of the
doubt to the prisoner, gave a con-
scientious verdict that upheld the ma
jesty of the law.
Money power and pull have so Of
ten made mockery of justice that
the people doubted whether the
courts in this case would rise super
ior to these three agencies of destruc-
tion of equal administration of law.
When, therefore, the decision of the
supreme court became known, those
who had been afraid that the highest
court would fail in a crisis, rejoiced
that the judiciary remained the pal
ladium of justice. The public is not
blood-thirsty. 1t wishes no man to be
injured and clamors for no mans i'm
prisonment. The people hold to the
creed:
For Justice-all seasons Summer
And every place temple
They believe that justice should be
blind and that no consideration of So
cial position. financial ability or polit.
ical power should weigh a feathers
weight. but that. crime should be pun
ished equally whether committed by
the man of power or by the tramp on
the highway

Revolution In Gasmakino.

BY use Of vertical retorts an Eng
fish inventor has so improved the Y IS
tenn of gasmaking that his work prom
ises what Is practically a revolution
In this industry. By constructing re-
torts that + fed from the top and by
providing for new circulation of hot
gases the designer has lessened the
cost of production and raised the quail
ity of all the products Of the gasmak-
ing process to a wonderful degree. The
principal feature of his improvement
Is the continuous carbonization Of coal,
which he has secured In place of the
older intermittent process. Instead Of
constant fresh drawing and changing
Of %retorts, requiring the labor of many
men, he has accomplished an unbroken
feed Of coal and ejectment of coke
without waste. with little handling
and without any Of the extremely I'M
pleasant Accomplishments Of former
processes. He has produced gas at a
cost of only a fraction of former costs
and has increased the volume and the
ease Of manufacture for space and
capital involved.
