THE NEW SENATOR.

The New s-Scimitar, in referring to
the selection of Senator by the caucus
at jackson, says editorially:
Mississippi has a new senator.
After a long contest, the splendid
honor has been awarded to Mr.. Leroy
Percy, of Greenville.
He will follow in the great parlia-
mentary chamber host OF distinguished
statesmen. Mississippi has been nobly
represented, ever since statehood was
established, in the upper house of our
federal congress. A dozen or a score
have written fair and high their names
upon the honor roll of the American
senate.
Mr.. Percy. who succeeds them, is
man of ability and of breeding. His
name is one that all Missssippians
revere. His father before him vas a
mighty man in the state and lowered
amongst his follows.
His political views are unknown.
In his speech before the caucus he
failed to take the people into his conf
dence, beyond the broad statement
that he is a democrat. There are
many kinds of democrats. The people
OF Mississippi will stand only for one
kind---the right kind. We take it that
Mr.. Percy will prove big. and honest
and tru. enough to faithfully represent
Mississippi.
In this connection we may say
word for his defeated opponent.
Without meaning to subtract one jot
or title from the qualification which the
election has given to Mr.. Percy, it is
no error to state that before the people
Of the state james K. Vardaman would
have won with ease. And Mr.. Var
daman is man Of high class. Radical
along certain lines. he is none the less
a valuable citizen. He is no dema.
QoGue. He is no charlatan. He is an
educated, fine man. 1T in every way to
be senator. He has his faults; who
has them not? He is not a money
accumulstor; he is not always guarded

prejudice or another cause. says an ex-
change. This is all bosh. The editor
hes something like a million different
things to think Of in connection with
the issue OF one paper and it is not
surprising il he misses an item occa.
sionally or sometimes forse:s one which
has been called to his attention. Nine
out Of ten people you ask for news items
will tell you they can't think OF any.
But in most cases they expect the ed
itor to think Of them all and criticise
him if he fails in a single item. The
best way for you to do is to give us
credit for what we DO find and mention
and return thanks to the Lord three
times each day that we do not mention
many things that we hear and know to
be true.

THE DEAD LOCK BROKEN.

After long and remarkable contest
at jackson, the dead lock has been
broken by the nomination OF Hon. Lee
roy Percy for Senator. the final vote
standing, Percy 81. Vardaman 81; a
total of 1912 members not being
present. or not voting.
There have Been caucuses in eau
cuses, secret mlnipulations by shrewd
politicians. whs have been willing to
do anything to thwart the will OF the
people and defeat Vardaman.
Vardaman had an average OF W
votes---men who have stood by him
through the long struggle. and the OPP
position realized from the start that
they could not break that phalanx Of
men. who were supporting the ex-Gov.
ernor from principle. men, like Capt.
Frank Burkitt, of this city. whom moth
ing could swerve from their allegiance.
The anti-Vardaman crowd have
promised all along that when the proper
time came. when they had the sup
porters Of the various candidates under
proper control. ("cemented." as they
expressed it) SO they could keep the
majority from stampedins, they would
eliminate all but one of their number
and make showdown.
On the final showdown all of the
so.called conservative candidates, ex-
rept Percy, withdrew. What means
=, ere employed to induce these men to
withdraw, will probably never be
known, as it was done secretly. but
it was accomplished.
Ex-Gov. James X. Vardaman ac-
cepted his defeat in gentlemanly and
graceful manner, and will present his
claims TO the white Democratic voters
of Mississippi, and his majority will be
SO great next year that there will be
no doubt Of whom the people want as
Senator.

HONOLIlLU'S FOURTH.

Failure to celebrate the great ma
tional anniversary by some distinct
event giving expression to the patri-
otto sentiment of the people can only
be considered as an evidence of retro
gression. When a people are too busy
or too lazy or too Indifferent to set
apart few hours of their time and
devote some measure of their energy
10 a recognition and retelling of the
events that marked the birth of the
Nation, they can have only apologies
to offer and the best phrased is
mighty weak.
Let us hope that Secretary Dickin-
son will this evening take the time to
make ringing Fourth of July speech
to take the cuss of the Honolulu, once
famous for its glorious Fourth of July
celebrations, and now, as the athletes
would put 1t, gone back.

by Representative Martin of Colorado.
Martin never delivered the whole
of the speech which he had permission
to print II was inspired by the Colo
RADIO beet sugar men and was writ
ten by irving Winslow of the anti
imperialistic leaKue. He calls every
body a scalswhs, Who bs,af anything

tion in the future. | know that the
whole deal was clean all the way
through, but we are going into 1t

pie and the public generally that
II is all right"
Speaking further of the land ques
ton and the row II had kicked up
in Washington, General Edwards
said that Martins speech brlstled
with invective and was full from
start TO finish of mis- statements. 1T
would take more than a whole day
to read It," he said.
In substance II was that II a
man held stock in any sugar com
pany he should not be allowed TO
buy lands In the Philippines. As
Poole's three hackers in the Min
doro deal had stock In the sugar
trust, Martin claimed that there was
crookedness some place and the sale
was not legal. He spoke of selling
to the trust the best lands for sugar
raising In the islands, that Mindoro
land which has rot been cultivated
for many years, and some Of which
was never brought under the pillow.
It is more of a pasture than anything
else" N'
Executive Secretary Carpenter had
nothing to say about the land deal
except that II was the first time
he had ever been accused of being
mariner of millionaires like Spreck-
els and Havemeyer. because he own.
ed little land near Manila. lie
had pleasant trip to the States
but during the first month the
weather was bad all the time and
he did not enjoy himself particu
larly.
Mr.. Carpenter was to have return

but was asked to go with the party
of the Secretary of War in order
that he might give Secretary Dickin
son some first-hand information
about the islands.

Throughout the congratulatory re-

opening OF the great Hamakua irriga-

without whom the enterprise would
have been impossible. The engineers
and their assistants of course led the
way. but the Japanese did the hard

digging the ditch through the noun

No word of appreciation for the
rapid and excellent work done on the
big ditch can be complete without in

KUHIO'S RETURN.

Delegate Kuhio's decision to come
to Honolulu on the yacht Hawaii is
another proof that the cause OF the
Prohibitionists In Hawaii is failing
one.
II Kuhio. after having ample time

nibition League, and celebrating
carefully on what Prohibition would
mean to the people of this Territory,
believed that the schemes of Woolley
and Thurston were best for Hawaii,
ne would be Fastening back to this

tended since first entering public life.

I'VE are - going to take a

political significance and is in line
merely with the idea of President
Taft in having someone Of the adj

in two years to get first-hand infor-
nation about conditions there"
The last time General Edwards
went to the islands was with Pres
ident Taft. who was then Secretary
