The Shame of Mississippi

IT fills Southerner with modification to
see the difference between the Lorimer case
and that of Leroy Percy:
Bribery was traced to the election of both
but there the similarity of the two cases ends
In Illinois, the guilty parties are being Wig
orously prosecuted: in Mississippi, there is
nothing doing. In the Lorimer case, the Sen
ator involved in the scandal demanded
Senatorial investigation: the Percy case, no
such demand is made.
In both cases, the Senators are faithfully
serving the corporate interests which bought
their seat in the United States Senate, Percy's
votes on the Cummins amendment, on physi-
cal valuation, and the proposition against I'M
limited stock-watering, prove where his heart
is. The corporations made no mistake aohem
they paid has eooy IN.
No wonder his friends dare not meet Var
daman in primary election! No wonder
they hastily nullifed Percy's offer to go be-
fore the white folks of Mississippi
They hmea0 perfectly NELL that the rotten
aoorh Of the Legislature aoouzd be Wmdome.
I hope that Vardaman is watching Percy's
votes in the Senate. If he doesn't read the
Baltimore Sun, he will lose some things not
given in the Congressional Record.

blind tiger, it would be infinitely better to
set up dispensary in Sylvania, and sell pure
WHISTLES and wines to those who are obliged
to have them.
Liberty Lacquer closes his article by threat
ening the Solicitor, and those who inform
him about the blind tigers, saying:
F'These liberty-loving citizens are exercising
their God-given rights of selling and drinking
what they please, and will not let few preachers
and jack-eg lawyers deprive theim of their rights.
Try it if you dare
In every State, there must be an exercise of
what are called police powers. The human
family is ust so constituted that some of
them may be relied on to misbehave. 4 GER
tain amount of coercion IS necessary to CON-
troll some people. This being the case, the
State, in its wisdom, lays down regulations
which, for the good of all, restrict to some
extent a freedom of those who might abuse
what they call their liberties. For instance,
farmer is not allowed to sell his own cotton
In the seed in the night time. There would
be absolutely nothing wrong in my selling my
seed cotton between suns; but, because rogues
took advantage of the darkness to slip cotton
and sell it on the sly, to those who knew that
they were buying stolen goods, the Legis-
lature put the restriction upon the honest, as
well as the dishonest, by making it misde-
meanor to sell seed cotton at night. Again,
the State prohibits the sale of certain dead
ly drugs 1t also restricts hunting and fish
ing. In various other directions, the nat
ural rights of the citizen to do what he
pleases IS curbed By statutes aohich forbid
him from doing those things oohich a0ouzd
tresp0ss upon the rights Of others, or q0ouzd
be injurious to good order and the morals Of
the community. Public opinion having crys-
talized against the saloon, it is perfectly le-
gitimate for the Legislature to pass a law
prohibiting the sale of Intoxicating liquors
as beverages. My candor compels me to say,
however, that statutes of that kind cannot be
strictly enforced in any County aohere public
opinion IS not strongly IN faoor Of 1t. [ had
supposed that in such splendid County as
Screven, public opinion would be in favor of
such law; and [ cannot believe that ma
jority of the good citizens down there who
are in favor of schools and churches, can be,
at the same time, IN fau0r Of an irastitu-
ti0n aohich m0chs both the schools and the
churches

Mr.. HardNick Continues His War
ON the Small Counties

For two years, I have had to bear the blame
of many old friends and followers because
after supporting Hoke Smith In 1906, / OPP
posed him in 1908. People who were reading
none but the Hoke Smith papers, could not
understand my apparent inconsistency. But
there was no change IN principle, on my part
Hoke and Hardwick had changed ground
not |. They favored an abandonment of
the county unit system, while | was deter
mined to do all in my power to retain it.
The county unit plan gives to the smallest
county one-third the power of the largest
counties Under that system, the country
people control the politics of the State. If
we should abandon that plan, and allow the
majority to rule, irrespective Of the county
organizations, the big cities would rule us.
See how it worked in Missouri The coun-
try counties wanted to send Ex-Governor Folk
to the United States Senate. Folk is an able,
honest mantle prosecutor of grafters. He
convicted some of the big thieves and politi
cal bosses of ST. Louis. This made them his
deadly enemies, of course. Therefore, they
threw against him the floating vote of St.
Louis and Kansas City. So large are these
cities, and so great is the number of votes
which can be influenced by money, whiskey,
the job lash, and the Catholic priests, that
Folk was defeated. Gum-shoe Stone-a no
torious political crook-won the election
The same thing would happen in Georgia,
if we should abolish the county unit system.
That system follows the Constitution Of
1877, and has been in practice more than
thirty years. It also follows the manner in
which legislative power is distributed among
the smaller and the larger counties.
Whether Hoke Smith would make another
fight to abolish the SYSTEM I do not know;
Congressional Convention for the Tenth Dis
trict introduced the resolution which in eff
feet abolishes the system in this district.
In Florida and South Carolina (which
have no such large cities as Georgia has,)
they hold second primary, in which the two
candidates who received the highest vote in
the first run again.
Mr.. Hardwicks partisans in the Tenth
District have adopted a plan, Matched by
Hardwick himself.
Although neither of the three candidates in
the field may receive ma ority of the bal
lots, that one which runs ahead of the others
is to be the nominee. In other words, it is
not necessary for the candidate to be nomi-
mated, either by ma lOrlty of the counties, or
by ma jority of the people!
Such proposition was never heard of be-
fore. It has always been required of the
nominee that he receive the vote of at least
majority. For nearly century, two thirds
vote was necessary.
But Hardwick is such an enemy to the
smaller counties that he sweeps away even the
majority rule
He won't have to have majority of the
delegates to the convention, nor a, ma ority
of the ballots cast in the primary election: If
he gets one more cote IN the PRIMARY, than

Postmaster out In the Cold.

Conrad, May 21.-C. w. Wood, the
newly appointed postmaster at this
place, has announced that he would
take the office over on Saturday even
ing, but he failed to provide himself
with cabinet, which must be pro-
vided by the incoming postmaster, and
he refuses to either buy or rent the
present fixtures in the Office, which
are owned by Mr.. Frederick, the
present postmaster, ard on those
grounds Postmaster Frederick refused
to check the Office over to him. 1t is
the first instance in the history of the
office here that the incoming post
master has refused to purchase the
fixtures of the retiring postmaster.
The patrons seem to think that Fred
erick is right, as the fixtures belong
to him and they do not see why he
has not right to do with them as he
sees fit, even to burning them If he
wishes to.
Mr.. Frederick is still holding the
office awaiting orders from the depart
ment, as to who is right.

CHILD WAS NEAR DEATH
Council Bluffs Mother Prevented Cat
From Sucking Breath From

Council Bluffs. May 21-The truth OF
the claim that cats will suck" the
breath of infant children, generally
classed by the public as fiction, has
been proven to Mrs. Marie Baird or
Greenfield, Iowa, in a sure enough
manner Yesterday Mrs. Baird laid
her baby down to sleep while she as
cended to a second floor room temper
arily. She says she was absent but
few moments, and that when she de-
seconded the stairway and entered the
child's sleeping room she was almost
transfixed with horror, for lying fiat
on the baby's throat was the big fam
lily cat, Its mouth fastened closely ever
the child's mouth, and the cat was en-
gagged in slowly drawing the childs
life breath from 1t.
Mrs. Baird managed with difficulty
10 drive the cat from off the child's
body, and after carrying the baby to
the open air succeeded in reviving it.
She says the child was gasping for
breath when she picked it up, but that
before the cat was driven away appar-
entity made no motion indicating dis

CONDENSED MILK FATAL.
Chatterton Infant Victim Of Ptomaine
Poisoning-infant Deserted by

Muscatine, May 21.-Because OF the
excessive drinking of condensed milk,
according to the attending physician.
the one-year-old child of John Chatter
ton, of Fairport, passed away, her
death being caused by ptomaine
poisoning. Death occurred during
CONFUSION and was expected, as
DR.. E. B. Fulliam, who attended the
case, declared that the child had no
chance of recovery. The baby was i'll
but ten days and suffered from what
is believed was anto-intoxication of the
bowels, brought about by the poison
ing of the entire system by the milk.
Mother EIoped.
The little child, it is stated, was de-
serted by it's mother last October,
when she, according to William R..
Clatterton, the grandfather Of the
child, eloped from her home in Fair
port with Mexican who was en-
ployed on the railroad near there. The
compile was located, he further de-
clares, at the Commercial House at
Rock Island and placed under arrest,
but settlement was reached between
husband and wife, and the woman was
given her liberty. After her release
she disappeared, it seems, and has not
been located since that time.

MOVE FOR LAW OVER DIARIES
Dr.. Fred Albert Of Mason City Takes
the Initiative In
Matter

Mason City, May 21.-A move to
enact a law allowing cities to regulate
the sanitary condition under which
their milk is supplied by dairymen, has
been started by DR.. Fred Albert, this
city. The recent decisions of the su-
preme court which knocked out the
city ordinances of Waterloo and Cedar
Rapids as illegal, started the move.
DR.. Albert is a nephew of DR.. Fred Al
bert, head of the state university
medical department and has powerful
influences backing him as he is mem
Der of the state medical staff. The only
safeguard the cities now have concern
ing their milk supply comes through
state inspection. and that Is made
quate, it is thought.
