BOUQUET FOR BEACON.
Chef Reason Why Vardaman Should be
Defeated

The following is reproduced from the
Macon Beacon one.!of the.ablest, clean
est and most conservative prpers in the
state in refutiag charge of improper
bias in opposing Vardaman.
The Beacon opposes Major. Vardaman
because it believed him to be a stirrer
up of strife, persistent sower Of the
seeds of dicOrd and prejudice, one who
seeks to array class agrinst class and
race against e e, making the race
question state fssue when he desired a
state office and national issue of it
now that he is seeking national Office.
That this is the truth of Vardaman
and Vardamanism is proved by the
whole course of the campaign. No
other feature OF it calls so Imperative
ly for his defeat. In all of his speech
es Vardauan sows the seeds of distrust
ard hostility toward the authorities
and his opponents-particula in his
Infamous assumptions that there is a
design to cheat him at the polls. Than
this nothing can go further to create
strife. It is such addresses to the pas
sion and the prejudice of his supporters
that has so contributed to the disorderIy
and turbulent spirit of his followers, as
shown at a number of Senator Percy's
meetings. .-Viclesburg Herald.

The second piank of his platform is
the negro amendments. This has been
so thoroughly and so ably discussed
that it hardly seems necessary to spend
any time on it. In the first place there
seems no need to take up this question
now, because the negro is entirely out
of politics, and is making no effort to
secure social equality. This is dan
ger merely of Mr. Vardaman's fertile
Imagination. We settled this question
when the state government was in the
hands of the Republicans, and federal
soldiers were quartered in our midst.
Is there any danger or any fear thatwe
cannot maintain our supremacy? Away
with such an idea. Are not the sons of
Mississippi as true, as brave. as patrl-
otic as the men of 1875. No matter
how desirable it may be to have the
realize the impossibility of such step
at present Until the negro becomes
distributed over all the country, and
becomes a menace to society in the
North, can we hope for such a result.
1t would require the cooperation of
twenty Northern states, and the man
who thinks it possible to secure that
knows nothing of northern sentiment
on the negro question. Nobody knows
this better than Coy. Vardaman.
On his part, it is simply an appeal to
race prejudice to make votes for him

dropped from the rolls, the voice
of Mississippi through her great
and eloquent son, John Sharp
Williams, was raised in earnest
protest, and the protest prevailed,
receiving the support of leading
statesman of both parties and Sec
tions. Only one voice was raised
in denial, and that came from a
south hating senator from Idaho;
the same who demanded the eXclu-
sion of Lees semblance from stat
uary hall. The speech Of Williams
on that occasion was a grand effort
and as graceful and tactful as it
was learned and eloquent and it
reached goal in every generons
heart, and saved the old negro
while humiliating the contestant.
To Jim Jones was intrusted by
his great chief and master in the
last hours of the COnfederacy the
custody of it's seal, and where he
hid it is a secret President Davis
carried to the grave with him, and
Jim Jones still carries in his heart.
Like the iron crown of Hungary it
was too sacred to be included in

One Of the Wisest acts of Varda-
man, while governor, was to re-
commend in a message of Jan
uary 10Th, 1906, the creation of
the office of county attorney. It
has saved every county a eraet
deal of money; more than paid
for itself and give the rural dis
tricts benefits heretofore only en-
joyed by large towns, in the sup
preston of crime and disorder.

Political History.

For time the Vardaman fol-
lowers were loud in their condem-
nation of Gov. Noel relative to the
creation of the office of County At
torney. At the time we were at a
loss to know where such rapid
abuse and accusation originated.
His accusers could talk about the
subject with all the grace and ease
of a linguistic expert. They could
show exactly the birth place of the
law and the purpose of it's concep-
tion. Like every thing else that
they find so dirty and damnable
they located it's birth place in the
Essecret caucas" and it's conception
in patronage for political purposes
But true to the declaration of the
Bible. "Be sure your sin will find
you out.'' Tee first recommended
tion for the creation for the office
is found during Mr.. Vardaman's
administration and the first abuse
of it is found in his personal pOlit
ical organ, the Issue. Following
is his official and candidatOrial rec
ord as given by correspondent of
the Daily News, signed "Legisla-
tor.
Editor of the Daily News
By reference to the House Jour
nal of 1906, page 1856, you, will
find that Hon. j. X. Vardaman,
while governor submitted to the
legislature the following special
message:
January 18th, 1906,
To the Senate and House of Represen-
tatives:
I have the honor to submit for
your consideration the matter Of
creation of the office of County At
torney and to prescribe the duties
and fix the compensation thereof.
I also submit for your consider
alton the matter Of creating q court
inferior to the Circit and Chan
Gerry Courts of the State to be
known as the County Court and
to prescribe the Jurisdictions, rules
of procedure and officers thereof.
JAS. X. VARDAMAN."
By reference to the Issue of
March 10Th. 1910, you will find
the following editorial, Jas. K.
Vardaman then being editor of the
Issue.
"COUNTY ATTORNEY BILL"
''The bill pending before the
legislature creating the Office of
county attorney ought to be de-
feated. 1t is one Of those meas
ures that was spawned in secret
caucas and brought fourth as a po-
litical eXpedient.
''The office is not needed and is

double dealing of Mr.. Vardaman

coined as guests because they have
learned to speak an English of their
own, though London people are dis
posed to regard lapses from the met
ropolitan standard of speech with
some disfavor.
Teachers of voice production and
vocal department, it is added, are very
busy just now teaching Americans
and Colonials English The instruc.
ton is always private, and fees are
graduated according to the require
ments of the client, or perhaps ac.
cording to another standard.
The informant of the Mirror asserts
that it is almost impossible ito cure
the American nasal twang completely
after it has become thoroughly habit
ual." He (or she) adds:
"That curious rising reflection to
nearly every word which is character
istic of Americans from the Northern
states, and is of Indian origin, can be
rapidly modified. But the greatest
part of my task with American women
is to teach them to speak more softly.
Their high-pitched voices are not al
ways welcomed in European drawing
rooms, and find the best method is to
keep them whispering for ten minutes
together.
verbal tricks of speech and down
right errors of pronunciation can be
cured if the patient is industrious and
determined. Middle-aged men, how
ever, are the worst pupils, and are apt
to give up in despair"

but only a few days before the letter
appeared d'Annunzio's principal works
were placed on the Index EXpurga-
torius
All his works have not been banned;
! his poems, of which many volumes
have been published, may still be read
by the faithful.
This enactment has reawakened
some public interest in the modus
operandi of that remarkable censor
ship. the Index Expurgatorius, about
which the vaguest notions are current.
Many persons seem to think that the
Congregation of the Index takes upon
itself the task of reading all the books
published throughout the world which
in any way touch upon religious mat
ters.
If this were so, not only the Congre-
cation of Cardinals, but the whole
body of clergy would have probably
be inadequate to the stupendous task.
In the opinion of the heads of the
Church, it is not necessary to pro-
scribe books openly anti-religious or
acknowledgements" as they are
called; the good sense of the laity, it
is thought, will enable unem to avoid
reading these without needing special
warning from their pastors.
1t only intervenes when work is
published likely to instill doubt ana
error insidiously, by the subject treat
ed. or by the tone of the book, or even
by the title alone.
Thus, whenever a work claiming to
lie impartial or orthodox deals with
religious questions, or philosophical or
religious issues affecting such ques
tons; whenever a prominent writer
saints or biblical characters
into a work of fiction then it becomes
the duty of the Congregation to eX-
anime it and make report as to its
orthodoxy, and often, as in d'Annun-
zios case, their inquiry extends to all
his previous writings
Especially does it concern itself with
all works written by ecclesiastics, or
by writer's who have the reputation
of being Catholics, since their position
in the Church world will make any
heretical or impious matter in their
writings the more dangerous.
