Is it HumOr or SANDER?

The radical candidate in Miss
issippi's senatorial contest has
not hitherto been widely known
as a humorist, but he is evident
ly trying to qualify as a profes-
sional jokester. The current is
sue of "The Issue" says:
Every railroad attorney, the
representatives of the lumber
trust, the oil trust, the whiskey
trust, and every other trust that
does business in the state of
Mississippi, have their agents in
Jackson fighting my nomination.
Let a man deny it, and I will
give the names and let the peo-
pie judge for themselves. !"
The above remarkable para
graph can be given two interpre-
tations. 1t is either a magnifi-
cent bit of fcur-fushing or de-
liberate attempt to climb into
the same class with Mark Twain,
Private" John Allen, George
AIDE and other men who furnish
the supply of American humor.
For instance, the idea of the
whiskey trust sending its agents
to Jackson to aid the election of
c. H. Alexander, author of
Mississippi's statutory prohibi-
tlon law, and who never touched
a drop of whiskey in his life. is,
if the author intended it that
way. excruciatingly funny.
The idea of the lumber trust
having its hirelings on the scene
to work for Congressman Adam
Byrd, who fought with splendid
vigor at the last session of con-
gress against high tariff on
Canadian lumber, is likewise a
hilarious jest.
We can also pull off some fun
ny stunts in imagination by con-
juring up the zest and eagerness
of railroad attorneys to elect
john c. Kyle by recalling the
fact that he is one of the men
who is responsible for the crea-
tion of the Mississippi railroad
commission and it's present
method of supervising common
carriers.
And it is gleeful, indeed, to
contemplate how zealously the
aforementioned whiskey trust
would work for Leroy Percy,
when we remember that he fatty
refused fee of ST. 500 offered
by the National Liquor Dealers
Association to come to Jackson
two years ago and oppose the
prohibition lava re-
fusal that was repeated and
made more emphatic when the
same organization asked him to
name his own fee for the work.
If the charge that the trusts
have connived and conspired to

Washington, March 1.--After a two
hours conference with President Taft
today, leaders Of congress announced
that they would oppose all amendments
to the several administration bills when
1t became apparent that the amend
ments were offered In a spirit hostile
TO the main purposes OF the proposed
legislation. There were present at the
conference Senators Aldrich and Crane
and Speaker Cannon.
Discussion at the White House had
special reference to the Interstate COM
merce bill. The president was disturb
ed by the reports that efforts would
be made in the senate TO amend the
bill in such a manner as to destroy
the main ideas of the administration,
and that there was danger Of the
house committee adopting some of
the amendments which are advocated
by Chairman Mann and which Attor-
ney General Wickersham said would
be inimicable to the measure.

Bindebeutel's stock of meat before
the rise was considered unusually

advance, his customers curtailed their
purchases and the butcher had to re-

began, his trade fell to a poin. where
it was Improbable.
