for leadership by his ability to
meet in debate on the floor of the
Senate the greatest and most re
doubtable debaters of that distin-
guished body. Since going to the
Senate or since the beginning of
his first term in the House for that
matter, Mr.. Williams has shown
himself ready and willing at all
times to meet on the hastings or
on the floor of either house of con-
gress any public man who ex-
pressed a willingness to meet him.
He has never disrupted the Demo
cratic party thereby, but on the
contrary has been looked up to as
one of the party's sanest leaders in
the hour Of darkest trial.
In striking contrast to the re-
cord of Mr.. Williams we are wit
Messing in the political campaign
in Mississippi today the disgusting
spectacle of a candidate for office
failing absolutely to meet either of
his opponents in honorable debate
before the people whose suffrage
he is seeking, thus affording the
voters of the State no possible op-
portunity to test his ability as a
debater, although he is seeking at
their hands a seat in the national
senate where s%killfulness in debate
is considered the supreme test for
leadership.

JOHN SHARPE WILLIAMS

According to Associated Press
and other dispatches from Wash
ingtOn, Senator John Sharp Will
l!ams is rapidly looming up as the
real leader of the Democratic par
ty in the National Senate. Says
n dispatch:
''SenatOe John Sharpe Williams,
by engaging Mr.. Bailey of Texas
so successfully OF the tariff ques-
ton has proved his strength in the
Senate as he frequently has done
in the House, and he is being dis
cussed as a prospective party leader
in that body"
The Washington Times says in
this connections:
"Since the advent of Senator
Williams, Senator Bailey has found
on his own side of the chamber a
man fully his equal as a debater,
and, in some respects, more than
equal. \ \ The anti Bailey demo
Gratis have been wanting somebody
capable of taking the floor and
holding it against Senator Bailey,
and they have looked in vain.
John Sharpe Williams has seem
ingly filled the lack"
From the above quotations two
facts are made very evident. One
is, that Senator John Sharpe Viii
liams of Mississippi, to whom a
great many Mississipp;ans prefer
red J. K. Vardaman in the cam
paign of three years ago, is rapidly
forging to the forefront in the
worlds greatest deliberative body,
and the other fact, equally clear
and conclusive is, that it is not
the man who can quote the most
poetry or deal in the greatest YER
bal pyrotechnics who is looked to
for leadership. John Sharpe VIII.

Army Worm in NOxubee.

A Jackson dispatch says: Prof. R.W
Harmed, state entomOlogist, has issued
an address to the farmers of Missis-
sippi, urging them to be on the lookout
for the old-time cotton worm, which
has made its appearance in several
counties of the state, and has been
found in one county in sufficiently large
numbers to form a menace to the crop.
Prof. Harmed stated that the cotton
worm is more likely to do widespread
damage,this year than during an ordinary
season, because of the frequent rains
that have recently fallen. They have
been found in large numbers in Noxu-
bee county.

THE PERSONAL ORGAN


The Issue, the personal organ of
James K. Vardaman, has been in
circulation for nearly four years.
It's editor having been for a four
year term the governor of his state
and for some twenty years or so a
candidate for some office or other,
and being furthermore a man who
claims to have as the interest dear
er than all others to his heart the
welfare of his beloved State, it
would most naturally be inferred
that such a paper would be n of
the most potent influences in the
upbuiIding of that State it's editor
so ardently processes to love.
Yet what, may we ask, has the
Issue ever done to assist in the de-
velopment of Mississippi? What
has it done to encourage desirable
immigration from other States ?
What has it done to advertise the
natural resources of Mississippi?
What has it done to advance the
agricultural interests throughout
the State? What has it done to
develope an interest in the good
roads movement? What interest
has it shown in the improvement
of our rivers and harbOrs? What
aid has it ever given or endeavOred
to give to the great State Fair held
each Fall in the very city in which
it is published?
We should also like to ask what
opinion would one, not a resident
of Mississippi, be likely to form Of
this State were he to read the Is
sue and no other paper published
within it's borders? Would he
have the faintest conception of the
States great natural advantages,
it's fertile soil, it's thriving towns
and growing cities?
On the other hand would he not
have every reason to believe that
Mississippi is a state reeking in
crime, governed by a gang of
thieves, where bribery is rampant
and corruption grossly prevalent,
where it is necessary to sit on the
ballot boxes during election time
in order to prevent the perpetra-
ton of glaring frauds and would
he not be forced to the conclusion
that the race problem is so alarm
ingly acute in Mississippi that to
live peaceably within the borders
of this State is a perilOus under
taking?
Is that the kind of advertising
Mississippi needs? And is the edi-
tor of such a paper the kind of
nan Mississippi needs to represent
her interests in the national SEN
ate.

COTTON C0RNER|
CONTEST BEGINS.
Selicltsr General Files Brief Be-
fore Supreme Court

Washington, Oct 1.-THE legal con-
test before the supreme court OF the
United States over the question OF
whether acquiring corner In the
cotton market is a violation Of the
Sherman antitrust law began yester-
day when Solicitor General Lehman
filed brief contending that the law
30 applies. The point arose from
tie appeal Of the government from
the action Of the New York federal
court In quashing certain counts
OF an Indictment against James A.
Patten, Eugene G. Scales, Frank B.
Hayne and William P. I'own.
The solicitor general quoted the
poet Pope In support OF his contention
that corner was more than a gam
bling transaction, and likewise turned
literature into an argument that such
a corner as alleged not only resulted
iIt squeezing the shorts" but is re-
gtraint Of trade in violation of the
Sherman law.
"A general corner. can no more be
accomplished In commodity like cot
ton without affecting the entire COM
nerce In that staple" says the solicit
or general. than Shylock's bond could
be enforced without shedding Of a
drop OF blood. As well say that Shy
locks purpose was simply the pound
Of flesh. He was rayenous for the
blood that would follow his knife. and
these defendants sought the blood OF
the trade In cotton. the last penny OF
price they could draw from either
shorts or spinners."
