.VARDAMAN'S LAST STAND.

Ex-Governor James K Vardaman of
Mississippi has been stumping the
state in the interest of his candidacy
for the United States senate and has
developed more bitterness and rancor
than any previous political contest in
the history of the state.
One hundred and sixty oxen, har-
messed in eighty spans; drew an OK
cart upon which James K Vardaman
rode through the streets of Meridian
in the most spectacular parade that
city has ever seen.
Five brass bands, blaring indie
pendently of each other, could scarce
ly be heard by the cheering thousands.
AS a bodyguard, 100 prominent citi-
zens rode horseback
Then came the Vardaman car" The
great string of animals, all white, car
ried white streamers bearing the leg
end, "Vcte for the white chief and up
hold the white South" On the back of
each OK was man shrouded in white.
At each animals head walked a white
clad torch bearer. A sort Of miniature
throne was erected in the OK wagon,
and upon this Vardaman sat, in i'm
maculate linen and carrying a big
white hat, which he waved continually
The most barbaric spectacle Of all
was the crowd which swarmed after
Men threw away hats, canes and UNI
brellas, and fought each other with
fists to step up and place hands upon
the wagon. Women threw bouquets of
handsome flowers from galleries
Horses plunged madly, and several
persons sustained slight injuries. 1t
is said that the spectacle has not had
g. duplicate in the history of the
South.

"YELLOW MEN JUDGE WHITE,"

The above headline was used in a
number of American newspapers in
the report of the trial of the Ameri-
can seamen tried and convicted of
murder by Japanese court The evi-
dent intent was to arouse race hostili-
ty. If white judges in America can
sit in judgment on Japanese charged
with crime it is right that japanese
judges should try Americans charged
with crime in Japan.
