attorneys at law; one in Greenville and
the other in Greenwood both thriving
Delta towns. Percy succeeded as 4 lawyer,
rising step by step to the top of the ladder
of success in his chosen profession. In
the meantime he proved a successful bus
iness man; in business affairs as in his
profession his word was his bond. He
has proven a power in the enforcement of
law and has given his material help as
well as his wise council in advancing the
interests of Mississippi and Mississippians
He has proven success in life and yet
has given generously OF his time, talents
and dollars to the aid of friends. public
enterprises and deserving charities, with
out asking anything in return for himself.
Mr. Vardaman proved practical fail
ure as a lawyer; then entered the news
paper field and has proven financial
failure in that business; the records show
that he never handled any trust fund
placed in his hands in a clean, business
like manner. He has been a candidate
before the people of the state for high
office no less than FIVE times and has been
elected once, and his election then was due
to the support of such men as John Sharp
Williams, Leroy Percy, John M. Allen,
W. S. Hill, J. S. McNeily, H. M. Street
and others who evidently did not know
him SO well then as now, as all of these
now oppose him. He has been a failure.
If there is a single attribute of human
character that makes for the successful
man in which Vardaman measures up to
the Percy standard we have not been able
to discover it.
Now what do the people of Mississippi
want with senator in congress? Do they
want a successful man; a man who has
proven his ability and high standard of
honor; a man who by the compelling force
of his own originality and strength accom-
plishes anything; or do they want mouth
ing failure?
Senator Percy never asked for office
until he entered the race for senat3r in
January and only then because he hoped
that he might aid in the defeat of Jas
K. Vardaman whose election to the SEN
ate he believed would prove seriously det-
rimertal to the best interests of Missis-
sippi He has always labored in politics
for others. He has been a real political
asset to his friends and the party
Mr. Vardaman, on the other hand, has
been a candidate for office for more than
twenty years; he has demanded all from
friends and given nothing. He has proven
an unsatisfed political liability to his
friends and his party throughout his career
There ought to be no doubt about who
the people will support for United States

WRONG MAN WAS REPORTED
DEAD.

A very complicated affair resulted
from a confusion in names Saturday. The
story goes like this: Mr.. S. M. McElrath
died at his home at Burns, Miss, rs
miles from Forest, Saturday morning at
10 o'clock, and message to that effect
was sent to his brother, J. L. McElrath,
at Hattiesburg, Miss. Not being able
to find the brother of the deceased in Hat
tiesburg, the telephone operator decided
that the name was McElreath, instead OF
McElrath, and knowing gentleman by
the former name, living in Meridian, the
message was forwarded to this city from
Hattiesburg.
Mr.. McElreath, whose home is at 1915
Twenty-ffth avenue, was not surprised
to hear of his brothers death as he knew
he had been suffering from acute indi-
gestion, and his death could easily be at
tributed to that cause Mr.. Med ade, OF
the Wagner cDade Undertaking COM
pdny was uOlllICO, dAO at iAOOAiS 49, 49,
Elreath, with the undertaken boarder the
train for Forest. The matter was dis
cussed very little until they reached Forest
in the afternoon. WheE arrangements had
been made to drive to Burns, eighteen
miles out in the country from Forest, and
kilograms had been sent to the wife OF
the supposed to be deceased, and num-
Der of intimate friends of the family IN
Kansas City it was suggested that some
one communicate with Burns and learn
more of the details. 1t was then that the
mistake was discovered. The deceased
was Mr.. j. L. McElrath, an old resident
of the little toown of Burns, and had
been an invalid for several years. Mr.
McEIreath then began to send out mes
sages to correct the mistake and relieve
his relatives and friends. While at the
telegraph Office, he received . message
from Chicago, ILL.,, from his brother, which
said, "Wire me details Of my death"

PERCY AND VARDAMAN.

Comparisons are said to be odious
and yet comparisons arc sometimes
necessary to show contrasts of character.
When two men are candidates for office
it is duty of the voter to compare the
men carefully consider their merits and
dement's, before casting their ballots.
Senator Leroy Percy and Mr.. Jas. x.
Vardaman are now before the people of
Mississippi as candidates for the highest
Office within the gift Of the people Of the
state.
Compare the two men. Both are about
the same age; both started in life -

motives preserved, while respect for
each others judgment long ago had
disappeared.
During the Congressional investiga-
tion of Mr.. Ballinger we shall have
many occasions to explain the mean
ing and the causes thereof, and just
why the attempted monopolization of
Alaska by the Observation-Disclosures
Gugg ggenheim-Standard Oil holders of
illegal claims affects every citizen of
New England, Pennsylvania and the
Gulf States as personally as it does
the taxpayer of Seattle or Los An
geles.
For present understanding of the
situation in Washington, it is enough
to say that President Taft could not
I have done otherwise than dismiss
from the Government service Mr..
Pinchot when he did, and that Mr..
Pinchot could not sanely have done
other than what he did, in view of his
devotion to the cause of conservation,
of which lie is the creator and to
which he has devoted his life and
private fortune.
Pinchot simply has focused a fight
and prevented a diversion. The
planned whitewash of Ballinger and
his allies conducted by committees
packed by Cannon's caucus and Sher
man and Aldrich would have been
made easy by shifting all inyestiga-
tion toward discrediting 2iuchot and
the Forestry Department. Pinchot
forces his own disappearance. The
Investigation hence-forth must be
full, fair and clear or there will be an
outcry from the country.
Pinchot deliberately became in
subordinate toward the President,
whose honorable intent he still re-
spects, but whom he believes deluded
and misguided, simply because Pin
chot believes the cause to which he
has devoted his life of more impor-
tance to the nation than any man or
any administration.
Clifford Pinchot is right. He has
done we'll. He has sought official i'm
notation as young CLAWS did months
ago. Both men blocked for a time at
least the completion of a long-pianned
thievery of billion dollars from the
American people.
Both Pinchot and his devoted CO.
workers know and have known all
along that there is one thing more
vital to the welfare of the country
than the continuation of the work of
Pinchot-and that is to keep thieves
from stealing the nations wealth in
such surety as to make useless all
future effort of patriots OF the Pin

MaddiII Confesses.

The preliminary hearing of Judd
Clark and his stepson, Rex Startin,
arrested as accessories in the murder
of James P. Lindsay, in his cabin on
one of his claims in the Graham
mountains, Friday, December 3lst,
took place in the court house at Solo
monville, Monday, before Justice of
the Peace Ruiz.
Tom Waddill confessed at the hear
ing that Clark made d proposition to
him and Startin on December 28th,
that they could make lots of money
by doing away with Lindsay and sell
ing his mining property; that Wad-
dill should go to Mexico and assume
another name, and that the money
secured from sale of property would
be diveded into thirds, and Clark
would send him his money.
They all agreed to do away with
Lindsay, who had hired them to help
him do his assessment work on the
claims and were to go together to
the property.
On December 3lst Waddill and
Startln came to tine cabin and met
Lindsay, who asked them why Clark
had not come with them. They
answered that Clark had to 60 over
to claim on the Kin E-Chy property
and would be with them later.
They had supper with Lindsay and
after supper Lindsay gave them
blankets, the two men agreeing to
sleep on one of the claims that they
were to start work on the morning
of January Ist. They left the cabin,
while the old man prepared to retire
for the night, and started away in
the direction OF the claims. Stop
ping some distance from the cabin,
they talked over the plan of killing.
Then they came back to the cabin
and secured Lindsay's Winchester
and pistol and Waddill's pistol. This
occurred about o'clock.
They left the cabin and walked
away some distance to discuss the
matter over again, and about 10
O'Clock returned to the cabin, and
listening at the door, heard the old
man snoring. They then stole into
the cabin, when Sartin whispered to
Waddill, "if you are afraid to shoot
him, will do it, if you give me lief
to shoot you, if you don't shoot him, -
to which Waddill agreed.
Startin then fired and was followed
by Waddill. Both shots took effect.
and the old man died without a
struggle.
After the shooting, Waddill, ac-
cording to the plans agreed on, was
to go to the Clark house and say that
he had found Lindsay dead in his
cabin, then he was to skip out for
Mexico, but instead of sticking tc
the plan, he went to Pima and gave
himself up, telling the story of a
quarrel and struggle with Lindsay
resulting in him having to kill Lind
say.
When Waddill finished his testi
mony, Justice Ruiz decided to hold
Clark and Startin, and bound then
over in the sum of $4,000 each t;
await the action of the grand Jury.
The three men were then locked az

THE COMING SESSION.


On Tuesday of next week the Min
nesota state legislature will convene
in regular session at St. Paul. 1t
will be one of special interest to
northern Minnesota, because of the
strenuous fight to be made for fair
and just reapportionment
The session is limited to 80 days
and this means that the lawmakers
will hammer away until along about
April II. The legislature is made
up of 1919 Republicans, 46 Democrats,
five Prohibitionists, one Public
Ownership, one Populist and one
Independent: Sixty-fve senators
will constitute a majority of a re-
publican caucus. In the senate.
there will be Al Republicans, 20
Democrats, one Prohibitionist and
one Populist. In the house there
will be 88 Republicans, 26 Demo-
Gratis, four Prohibitionists, one Public
Ownership and one Independent.
New senators have just been
elected for four years and if they
pass an apportionment bill, it may
mean that their terms will be cut
short two years.
One of the most interesting fea-
lures just at present in the con-
vening of the next legislature is
the election of a United States sena-
tor to succeed Moses e. Clapp, whose
term expires March 4. There has
been talk of opposition to Mr.. Clapp
but that apparently is about as far
as it will go. Governor Eberhart is
not candidate for the place and
the only other strong possibility,
Frank B. Kellogg, is not candidate,
or, if he is, he is too modest to say so.
Of course county option will be an
issue. Lieutenant Governor Sam
Y. Gordon, the Browns Valley editor,
will be the presiding officer in the
senate and he is an acknowledged
county soptionist. H. H. Dunn of
Albert Lea, who is to be the speaker
of the house, has promised to name
a friendly temperance committee
and a county: option bill probably
likelysit will get through the senate.
The county optionists will make an
attempt to have the question SUBJ
mitted to popular vote in 1912.
Various reform organizations will
work for an initiative: and referen-
dunn amendment to the constitution
and for extension of the direct pri-
mary law to state officers.
Another : feature that will be,
watched with interest will be the,
fight to be made by the advocates of
women's suffrage. Women behind
this reform are already in St. Paul,
making plans for their fight, They
have requested and secured the sup
port of Governor Eberhart and have
placed their views before the lieu
tenant governor and speaker-to-be,
Dunn.

OPPORTUNITY.

Within the sculptor's studio
 Stood groups of marble tall, And one just finished, of a maid,
 Was fairest of them all. Her hair. across her hidden face.
 Was blown in wind swept rings, A covered burden in her arms,
 And on her feet were wings. Around the room the sculptor,s child
 Was wandering to and fto. But longest stood before the maid
 With garments white as snow. Dear father, tell me who is she,
 And what it is she brings? I want to see her face so much,
 Why do her feet have wings?" Dear one" the sculptor gently said. This maiden fair and tall,
 I call her Opportunity
 She comes to one and all But rarely can men see her face, .. Or know just what she brings. And. if they question her too long. They find her feet have wings. Upon some pathway of your life,
 Dear little girl said he, rYou"lL surely meet her face to face. Your opportunity. Then ask not if she smiles or frowns, But take whate'er she brings, Or she will slip away from you. Because her feet have wings" Alice G. S. Derby. in Wellspring

THE GHOST OF CARMACK
 MENACES PATTERSON 
Probability of the Defeat of Tennes- sees Governor.

Memphis, Tenn, Aug. 5.-Independ- ent candidates for judgeships, who were supported by the republicans and those of the democrats who are opposed to Governor Patterson, yes terday won a complete victory, car rying the state by 30,O00 or more votes in the primary election.
 The independent republicans formed in a large measure the state wide prohibition element in the democratic party, which has been vigorously op- posed to Governor Patterson since the memorable campaign against the guhernatorial nomination.
 The Cooper murder case, in which Patterson is charged with attempting coercion of the supreme court in its decision on the famous trial and his pardon of Colonel Cooper, played d leading part in the campaign.
 Governor Patterson is a candidate for reelection this fall.

The Hotel a Success.


 The most gratifying news relating to the progress of Phoenix that has been published for a long time is the announcement that we are able to make this morning, that the project to construct great and modern ho- tel, .on the site of the burned Hotel Adams, is a success.
 The public has been prepared in a measure for this announcement by the news published from time to time concerning the undertaking. but the definite information will be no less welcome, nevertheless.
 At the meeting of stockholders held yesterday for the purpose of electing directors of the new Adams Hotel company, it became known that the entire sum of s25O,OOO, which had been fixed upon sixty days ago as the amount which should be raised, had been provided. Of this sum MT. J. C. Adams furnishes s1OO,00O; the remainder is furnished by his friends, comprising the business community of Phoenix in large measure.
 Construction will begin as soon as plans and specifications can be made ready, and before the end of another twelve months Phoenix will have the most complete and modern hotel in all the southwest. So that ultimately, while the burning of the Hotel Adams was for the time being a great calam- ity for the city and entailed severe loss to MT. Adams, the fire which destroyed the old hotel will prove to have been an advantage for the city. In it's place will rise a building of which all Arizona will be proud-a hotel which will have attractions for travellers and tourists equal to the attractions of any hotel in any city.
 The people of the city are deserv- ing of congratulation. Nc other city of the size of Phoenix in the whole United States would. in our judg- ment, have so readily provided the enormous sum of a quarter of mill lion dollars for a. hotel. The success of the hotel project is a fine example of the way Phoenix does things.
 Incidentally, it is something of be proud It is not often that a citi- zen has such an opportunity to learn of the esteem in which he is held by his friends For. first and foremost, the success of the hotel project must be taken as proof of public confi- dence in Mir Adams. Were the peo- pie of Phoenix asked to answer the question: Who is the most forceful man in the community-the man who can most surely count upon public support for any undertaking that he makes a special matter of his own? the answer of a great majority un- doubtedly would be, J. C. Adams. To. enjoy such a distinction in a city of 15.600 is, as we have suggested, some thing of which MT. Adams ought to be proud. That he has this distinc- ton is, of course, not a matter of accident It is the result of fifteen years record he has made in the community for honesty and truthful ness: the result of fifteen years of labor for the upbuilding of the city. Mir Adams has found. as every man has occasion to find. sooner or later, that character and reputation are worth more than cash in hand-they make a capital which neither fires nor any other vicissitude of fortune can affect.
