The March American Magazine.

'Is the East also insurgent:"
asks Ray Stannard Baker in the
March 1mericon -gagazine. MIR
Barker's question is also the title of
his article. In it he calls attention
to the revolt of the progressive re-
publicans in many Eastern shong-
holds Of that party, notably in
Massachusetts, and New Hampshire,
where the issues are practically the
same as those advocated by the in
surgents in the West.
An intimate study of Aldrich,
"the general manager of the United
States" by Edwin Lefeyre, and
''The Bailinger Casa Study in
Official Fitness" by Stewart Ed
ward White, are two very notable
features of this issue. Further,
there is az interesting contribution
to the series of articles entitled
"Barbarous Mexico" in the story
that young German tells about
himself and others who fell into
slavery in Mexico, and of the
dreadful misery he endured and
the terrible things he saw while
slave.
Miss Tarbell's "The American
Woman, land Stewart Edward
Whites "The Cabin" while ap.
pearing to- be published in serial
form, are each quite complete in
every lnstallment, and IN this March
issue both are particularly interest
ing.

portraits appear in the department
of that name. The new theatre,
with MANY photographs of scenes
from plays already presented there,

Lar0er Contest for Present Year.

Larger G0nteSt l0r PfeSehl ledr.
Lake City, February 15:-Dr
A II Williams announces another
and much larger corn contest
for the year 1910.
Instead Of a limited number
of large prizes, many OF moder-
ate value will be offered, which
in the aggregate will amount to
several hundred dollars, and
which, under the arrangements
proposed as to numerous dis
tribution, is expected to prove
a genera. and hearty incentive
to determined and intelligent
effort to excel. The three
small prizes OF last year had
something to do with producing
the gr~<t crop just harvested;
and the contest now being in
augurated,. it is hoped will be
entered into by great many
farmers throughout the entire
county, and results most crafty
ing and helpful are expected.
As the first prize for the
greatest yield on one acre DR.
Williams himself offers a top
buggy worth $500. Several
other prizes of various kinds,
such as improved farming
implements, fertilizers, wagons,
plcws, suits of clothes, etc, will
be offered for competition. DIR
Williams has already secured
about $4,000 worth of prizes
besides the buggy, and he hopes
to run the list near, if not quite
to the 100000 mark.
Each farmer entering the con-
test is requested to send in one
dollar as an entrance fee.
Every dollar collected from
entrance fees will be invested
in suitable prizes to be offered.
Already several farmers have
come in and paid the entrance
fee, and the idea is taking
hold rapidly. If five hundred
farmers enter the contest, DR.
Williams will be able to offer
in prizes about. one thousand
dollars. Raise five hundred
dollars by entrance fees, and
he will raise the Sther five
hundred dollars himse !.
Time for entering contest
closes May 1st. Immediately
thereafter list Of prizes will be
made up and published.
The contest is open to every
farmer. in Williamsburg county.
There are no condition, as to
preparation of soil, fertilizers
used or cultivation, each farmer

only requirements that the corn
must be gathered by two dis
interested persons who will Ger
tify to the same, and that such
certificate must be sent in not
later than November Is. I'm
mediately thereafter prizes Will
be awarded.

Shoe ON the Other Foot.

Will somebody please give as a fair
minded answer to this question
If State Senator John L. Hebron, of
Washington county, refused to acCede
to the wishes of his constituents, as
expressed in petition, asking him to
vote for Hon. Leroy Percy, why
should any other member of the legis.
lature regard it duty to set aside lis

conscience by obeying a petition ask.
ing him to vote for the radical candi
date2
The Daily News does not desire to
designate Senator Hebron as model
for all Legislators to follow.
However, Senator Hebron is leader
of the radical forces, one of the men
who has been active and aggressive in
the effort to set up government by
petition.
Furthermore, Senator HebIon's con.
stituents are almost solid for Percy.
In Washington county there is practi,
cally no difference of opinion as to how
this contest should be settled. The
people are giving cordial endorsement
to their home man.
Senator Hebron has failed and re.
fused to heed the voice of the peo.
ple." He don't care what his consti-
tuents think about the contest. He is
for the radical candidate, first, last
and all the time, and don't care who
knows it.
What is sauce for the goose ought
to be sauce for the gander." If Sen.
ator Hebron is so anxious for his col
leagues to hearken unto 'the voice of
the people," wouldn't it be consistent
for him to do little hearkening on
his own accountp
The Washington county petition
serves to illustrate what the Daily
News has contended since the begin.
Mug of the senatorial contest, Each
legislator should vote as his conscience
dictates, after making fair and i'm.
partial analysis of the relative merits
of the men in the field and their qua.
litications for senatorial honors.
This is not q government by peti.
tion, and the legislator who allows
himself to be blufed or bullied by
these ex parte documents, in every in
stance signed and circulated by the
partisan frie nd of one candidate and
devised solely for purposes of intimi'
dation, is unworthy of his office. -

jackson, Miss, January 16.-In the
Mississippi code of 1905, in The chap
ter OH crimes and misdemeanors, is
a section which bears some significance
when taken in connection with certain
reports OF rumors that are current
about the capital of Mississippi these
days. 1t is section 1871, and reads as
follows;
Every person who gives or offers a
bribe to any member of the legisla'
ture, OF to any other person for him,
or attempts by menace, deceit, sup
preston of truth or any corrupt means
to influence q member in giving OF
withholding bis vote, or in not attend
ing the house or any committee OF
which he is a member, shall be guilty
of felony, and upon conviction shal!
be imprisoned in the penitentiary not
exceeding ten years 3"
1t is stated that the spirit, il not
the letter. of this law is being violated

lobbyists in the interest of any meas
ure or interests that might be affected
thereby, but as voluntary watchers

A large number of petitions for Var
damau have been sent to jackson, but
nave so far failed to change the vote.
One containing about 1000 signatures
went from YaZoo county, but the "a
ZOO delegation refuses to be governed
by il as it represents much less than
half the voters of YaZoo county, which
IN the last election was strongly op
posed to Vardaman.
In Attala county, Senator Sanders,

Petitions have also been circulated
in Holmes county asking our senator
and representatives to vote for Varda-
man. 5ucA petitions in Lexington
received signatures or about 3OO, re-
presenting people from all parts OF the
county. The registration of Lexington
precinct alone is over 450, so the petit
tion can scarcely be considerded an ex-
presssion of the majority of the elect
crate. In the contest between Will
ans and Vardaman the former carried
the county by substantial majority
and there are no indications OF
change in sentiment ir favor of the
picturesque ex-governor. On the con
trary, by his puerile and unwarranted
