THE MONKEY ATOP OF THE
POLE.

In the great volume of criticism
not to say abuse that has been
visited upon BilbO and Vardaman
on the one hand and upon Noel
and the Legislature on the other.
State Treasurer Edwards has not
received the notice his official he
roles deserve. This is in no wise
the fault of Mr.. Edwards, however,
for he has shown much talent in
self advertising, appealing at once
to the wonder, admiration and
sympathy of the world. Ajax de.
flying the lightning was his attitude
toward Noel and the Legislature
who seem to have paid him the
same attention the lightning did
Ajax.
Ten thousand dollars have been
saved the state for a year by
Treasurer Edwards but at what n
cost-many times that sum in ac-
tual cash and many, many times
that amount in loss to the honor
and credit of Mississippi.
There is a certain largeness of
view, certain broadness and depth
necessary and fitting for the high
officers Of the state to have and to
act by In their official transactions.
A mans business, his credit and
his standing in the business world'
perish with himself. But q state
endurcs for centuries. No short
sighted, cheese.paring policy, no
saving Of pennies at the expense of
moral right or the financial repu-
tation of the state, is worthy or
wise for so great and enduring an
institution. The highest standards
of honesty should govern a state in
all Its dealings with it's creditors.
It's financial virture should be as
pure as a wOman's character.
The treasurer seems to be as in.
nocent and ignorant of such ideals
as a baby-a niger baby at that.
The utter sense of responsibility
towards the states standing in
the world of large finance he has
shown is remarkable. His course
Of action shows too we'll the dan.
ger and folly of putting small men
In high places. Their antics may
attract attention and amuse, but
the cost is too great.

Mr.. Woodson Boyle, a native and
lifelong resident of Macon, passed

THE BRIBERY BILL.

The act passed by the late
special session of the Legislature
giving immunity to witnesses tes-
tifying to bribery of legislators
seems to be widely misunderstood
in some of its aspects. Vardaman's
paper, The Issue, seems to think it
offers a premium and chrome to
any one testifying to bribery.
The truth is the new law simply
provides that a witness testifying
to the commission of bribery or
gaming is given immunity from
punishment for the particular Of
Tense he testifies to. He is liable
to all the pains and penalties of
perjury if he gives false evidence
and Is liable also for civil damages.
The immunity extends only to that
one or more violations of the law
concerning bribery or gambling
that he himself tcstifes to partic.
ipating in so far and no further.
He is simply relieved of the fear
Of punishment for acts he himself
makes known in his testimony.
The only effect such a law can
have Is to open the door to truth.
1t does not mitigate in favor of
perjury or wrong, but only removes
a grave bar to telling the truth.
All the charges of bribery and
corruption in Mississippi have
come from one source. And from
the same source has come every eff,
fort to thwart Investigation, to
throttle the truth and hide the
real facts. How the good sense
and conscience of the public view
these things should be matter OF
small doubt
