Hon. John Sharpe Williams

A number of the friends of Mr.. Var
daman have had their feelings outraged
by the interview given out by Hon.
John Sharp Williams anent the senate
rial contest, and many of them rushed
into print not to controvert Mr.. Will
liams' position but, Enthusiastically
to denounce him. One of them. Judge
J.. w. Buchanan Of Memphis formerly
a circuit judge in Mississippi, IN a
letter in the News-Scimitar, retorted
on Mr.. Williams that Democracy had
been in bad plight for many years and
that as Mr.. Williams was n of the
leaders of Democracy, he was to blame
This is a fair sample of the business OF
Vardamanian criticism.
The Democratic Party has been IN
unfortunate circumstances for the last
dozen years and Mr.. Williams was one
of the party leaders. So much is true
and no more. He was leader in con-
gress, and in Congress only has Dem
ocracy made a fine showing. There
only has lustre been shed on the par
ty banner and there only has any meas
ure of success been attained. Never
before in congressional history has the
minority, either Republican or Demo-
cratic, been so influential and efficient.
The party's record then is the great re-
deeming feature of, its history for the
last decade, and to Mr.. Williams be-
longs the honor and credit. So far as
the, nation at large is concerned THE
BEACON repeats an opinion it expressed
two years ago-''Mr. Williams is the
best sing.e assets the Democratic par
ty holds"

Hon. John Sharp Williams is
being severely criticised because
he expressed an opinion concern
ing the senatorial situation, I'm
der our present form of govern
ment every free born American
citizen is guaranteed the right of
free speech. and just why the
critics persist in making an ex-
ception in the case of Mr.. Will
liams is beyond our comprehen-
sion. Mr.. Williams was asked
what he thought about the race,
and in our opinion had no real
good reason to dodge the ques-
ton. He has not attempted to
name the new senator and has
taken no active interest in the
caucus. That the Vardaman
supporters overrated the effect
that their lengthy criticisms of
Williams interview would have
is evidenced by the last ballot
taken by the caucus. The vote

A Modern Fable.

Once upon atime there was "a
Man, wise in his way, VINO want
ed the People to hand him
Things. He thought he had a
patent inside" cinch on every
thing in the way of Public Snap.
He wanted Everything in sight,
and had some few Things handed
to him while others were not
looking. He was a Legislator,
first of all, and, once upon a
time, met with a Caucus, a
Great Political Palava, in which
He Smote Hard and Mighty for
the Peoples Choice-so Hard
and Mighty that, to carry his
End, he Agreed. by the Reso-
luton Method, to Prevent any
Unwise Guy gettirg the Office,
because He was one of the Peo-
pie, and the Unwise Guy was not
of the People-not of his Day
and Generation.
Later This Man, Great in His
Way, was Governor of His state.
All the big Men of the Time
worked and voted for Him. But
ne became Too Great and Busted
the Ties that Bound Him to His
Friends, for Great was he, in his
own Opinion, for He was of the
People. He broke the bonds of
friendship with his Predecessor,
because, Greater than Thou, am
I, he quoth. He broke with his
Successor, for Greater am | than
You, who have come to Take up
the Burdens | have carried so
Then, later, &here was a sena-
torship, a Rich Piece of Politi-
cal Plum Cake, and 10, he who
was Wise unto Himself banker
ed for it. and when the People,
in their Majesty, said: Thou
Shalt Not" he roared unto his
henchmen who shouted: Thou
Shalt, or They Shalt Not" and
the Struggle Was On. It waxed
Hot and there was Palava !; but
there was Nothing Doing for
him, though every man was his
Friend as Long as he could Use
Him.
It was then those Wiser in the
way of Politics re-enacted a part
played in a former Palava, Of
which He was a Party, but He
was the Choice of the People. or
a few Of Vox Populi, and he
wroth Hot Under the Collar and
Reared, but his Roar was Heard
not Far Distant as he Hoped,
and He was put into the Straight
and Narrow Path of His former

and few Unwise Guys.

The Senatorial Situation.

From the start the senatorial race
has been the field against Vardaman.
This is very evident; but another fact,
just as evident and fully as significant,
is that the majority of the members of
Mississippi Legislature is as firmly and
staunchly against Vardaman as the
handsome minority of some sixty eight
or seventy is for him.
A feature of the fight that is char
acteristic is that every method adopted
or procedure agreed on by the caucus
is by Vardaman and his followers de-
nounced as being unfair and aimed
solely against him. The secret ballot,
for the adoption Of which all the forces
of honest government in the United
States was once fighting, and which
has been the method in Democratic
councils in Mississippi since recOnstruc-
ton days, is denounced as unfair, I'M
democratic and a cloak for fraud nj
c%hicanery. This because it does not
square with Vardaman's supposed in
terest. 1t has also been the precedent
to nominate by caucus before election
by the Legislature, and this too, was
opposed in this instance by the Varda-
NANTES and is being strongly animal
verified upon by that PARTON of the
press favorable to him. AS a matter
of fact the methods and conduct of the
Democratic Legislative caucus are
strictly in line with Mississippi prece-
dents and are Democratic, fair and
right, and subject to NJ just denomina-
ton.
The claim is made that the vote in
the primary between Williams and
Vardaman entities Vardaman to the
senatorship. The only thing settled by
that vote is that the majority of the
Democrats of Mississippi did not want
Vardaman as Senatorial least a ma
jority voted against him Mr.. Varda-
man is entitled to the weight of the
act that a 81 eat number wanted him
senator, but he is at the same time
saddled with the twin,fact that a great
err number did not.
Against these various charges and
ordinations the retort is made on that
good friend of Tom Watson who
does not agree with him on all sub
jects"-Rs he is at such pains to state
every time he mentions that distin-
guished poPulite's name, that the lead
ing most strenuous champions of Mr..
Vardaman in the caucus are Burkett
and the. other very late populites-men
who hated and denounced the Mississ-
ippi Democracy just a few years ago.,
1t is true they are now wearing the
clothing of democracy, but so recent is
their conversion and so tainted their
political belief that they have no right
to any controlling voice.
The foregoing are the most conspic-
urus features of the senatorial fight.
1t is idle and foolish to say that Miss
issippi has not plenty of fitting sena-
torial timber. There are men whose
names are now before the caucus in
Jackson who would we'll and honorably
wear the togo late fallen from the
shoulders of McLaurin and represent
Mississippi in the senate with distinc-
ton and ability. And the present
Legislature, from all appearances, can
well be depended upon to make a wise
choice. Wisdom and conservatism has
marked their councils in the caucus.
and in all probability the best man be-
fore them will finally be nominated.

Bad as Bribery.

Some very unjust, unseemly
and unlawful tactics have been
resorted to by the radical ele-
ment in the pending senatorial
| contest.
Bluffs, threa' S and bulldozing
methods have become exceeding
ly common, and some instances
over Jealous lieutenants have
actually declared the r intention
of using personal violence to
compel legislators to vote in ac-
cordance with their Way of
thinking.
The forwarding of ex parte
petitions alleged to express the
voice of the people," is but a
mild form Of intimidation as
compared with some Of the
methods that have been used.
We dare you to come home
again unless you vote for our
mani" declared a jealous partl-
san the other day, after he had
failed in all other ways to shake
his home member from what he
honestly believed to be a consci-
entious duty,
This time the buffer reckoned
without his host. He thought
the legislator was weakened,
but he was mistaken. The solon
promptly advised him to go to
hell" which any other red
blooded man would have done
under similar circumstances.
Black hand letters-in every
instance without signatures, of
course-have become very com
mon around the state house, and
in one or two known instances
members have been actually
frightened into voting for a man
whom they do not regard as the
proper person to elect to the
United ctates senate.
Tactics such as these are
bound to cause a reaction. They
may get a few votes, but a vast
majority of the lawmakers right
eously resent the adoption OF
such contemplate methods.
Efforts to bluff or bulldoze {
legislator into voting your convic
tons, instead of his own, is just
as criminal as trying to bride
him.
This is both the moral and le
gal aspect of such tactics. Per
haps the "Strong Arm Brigade
is not aware of the existence Of
section 1871 of the annotated
code, which reads as follows:
Every person who gives, OF
offers to give, a bride to any
member Of the legislature, or t
another person for him, or at
tempts by menace. deceit, sup

rupt means to influence a mem

house or any committee of which
he is a member, shall be guilty

ton, shall be punished by i'm

not exceeding ten years."
Tell a legislator that he dar'
not come home and face a buncl
of his loW-broWed constituent
: constitutes a menace.
To bring to jackson a petition
purporting to represent th'
! will of the people," when in re
atty it contains the names of les

ing deceit,
To assert that a candidate i
"the peoples choice" in a com

polls is a suppression of truth.
And yet these tactics have
been recklessly used since tn
inception of the campaign, ant

In the matter of agricultural

In the matter of agricultural
training the Southern States says
the Times Democrat, are still a
good way behind those of the Mid
die West, though their need is,
and has been for years, the great
er. Gratifying progress is being
made even in the South, it is true.
Gov. Noel of Mississippi only the
other day urged upon the Legis-
lature of that State the estab-
lishment of additional experiment
stations, and there is growing
demand for agricultural high
schools. The boys corn clubs are
doing excellent work. But few if
any Southern States have in our
opinion giving this cause the at
tention and the monetary support
which it deserves. With our
millions of idle or poorly farmed
acres, surely it behooves us to
make the necessary Investment.

The man who contracts debts
and excuses their non-payment on

money or goods under false pre-
stenses, exclaims IN exchange.
He buys anything on credit and
does so with the assumption that
he is perfectly good for the &C
count, and if he knows his salary
is inadequate and he cannot Ii
quidate, he is deceiving his credi-
