THE SENATORIAL GLADIATORs

THE senatorial gladiators in Mississippi are in the ring. The gong
! has been sounded. To hear the story from one side, the other
is already down and out and unable to come from its corner. In fact.
it would appear to be almost brutal, measured by their statements.
to even fight the other. According to pugilistc rules. the severest
penalty is visited on the combatant that fights when his antagonist
is down. When the fight is persistent, and the hurrahs from the
spectators friendly to one of the gladiators are continuous. the con-
clusion is irresistible that the hurrahites do not believe the fight yet
won. Nevertheless, their champion seems to be putting his blows
at the right place.
The other side in this very interesting encounter contends that
its adversary is wavering, that he is losing blood, that he is only a
fellow of sham battles and that he is unable to stand up and fight
round for round.
The referee has not yet given his Judgment on the claims of
either of the combatants, but it would appear to the disinterested
observer that the fight is by no means won and that it behooves the
combatants to prepare for a long, heroic and desperate struggle.

A POLITICAL

THE candidacy of Hon. Earl Brewer, who is before the people OF
1 the state for governor, without opposition, illustrates how com
petely a man can win in the public confidence. In times past, this
place has been contested by intellects that flashed and by energies
that were herculean. But now, for the first time in many campaigns
a man who has SO emphaticany impressed himself has arisen, who
discourages all opposition, and who takes gubernatorial honors, as il
were, on a silver salvtr-Aberdeen Weekly.
The above. coming from a newspaper that did not support Mr.
Brewer in the late campaign, is deeply significant and but voices
the sentiment current in every part of Mississippi. 1t shows what
remarkable confidence the people have in Brewer-a confidence
which his old friends and supporters assure them, and guarantee
them, is worthily bestowed.

A ND Bibo is a candidate for Lieutenant Governor. Well, there
~ is no law in this country to prevent any man running for
Office. A Geographic dispatch sent out from Poplarvile, where
Bilbo lives, states that a Blbo club was organized in his home town
and that ZIG names we're enrolled. This reminds us of the old ne
groes measurement when he put six pecks into a half bushel. Blbo
shows that he is obivious to the fact that a record is kept. The total
vote of that county cast for U. 5. Senator in 1907 was only SIT; for
Governor, 6o3. Now it is claimed that there has been enrolled in the
Bnbo club more voters than were voted in that county before. 1t
would be rather difficult for a man who does not believe in Bnbos
stripe of honesty to explain this.

HIS ONE-YEAR RECORD

IT is right to award honor to whom honor is due. The Sentinel is
l not sponsor for any of the senatorial candidates, but we deem it
only jus. to commend the brief senatorial career of Senator LEROY
Percy He comes back home after a service of one year at Wash
ington City and the unfettered mind must admit that his record is
not only highly creditable to the state, but shows that he has taken
high rank among the giant intenects of the greatest parliamentary
body in the world, and it would appear that he would soon be
grouped with the distinguished sons that have shed lustre on the
past.

Jurors Game of Draw Brings Hot
Scoring From Judge

One OF Judge Phelan's juries elect

Thursday morning, after the mem
bers had arrived at a verdict. and
when they returned TO the court TO
render the result OF their deliDera-
lions, they were met with most with
ering excoriation from the Judge.
In commenting on the poker playing
proclivities OF the jurors, the court
took occasion also to comment on the
verdict, which, in itself, was some
what ridiculous.
The noise made by the card players
percolated from the jury room into
Judge Connolly's court. and officers
OF the court say the game progressed
for goodly period after they had ar
rived at verdict.
IF IL were not for the fact that
your term OF service as Jurors expires
soon. l would dismiss all OF you now

words with which to express my con
tempt of your actions.

Schoonfield, Frank X. Todenbier, joe
Lomax, Frank Stewart, Patrick

The case In which the jury was out
was that of John Putt, No. al Com.
mercialst., accused of stealing alum
mum from the Grand Trunk. He was
found not guilty, despite the fact that
officers testified they saw Putt car
rying away the stuff. There was a
similar case pending against Frank
Saligo, No. IA McGregor-ave., into
whose home the officers testified they
saw Putt carrying the stuff. Judge
Phelan Immediately dismissed the
case against Saligo.
1T is hardly fair to try him, when
the jury In the case of Putt, who was
the real offender, could not find him
guilty" said Judge Phelan.

the reply that 1t would force the de-

increased. Nagel had taken a trip
through the city hall and secured the
signatures of about 20 clerks who
were willing TO take the cream of the

.LOOSENs BREWERS'
GRIP ON SALOONS
Agreement To Sell Only Particular
Brand of Beer Not Enforceable oy
Injunction, Court Rules.

A ruling which will loosen the grip
of the breweries on many saloonkeep-
ers in Detroit, was given by Judge
Murfin, Thursday, in the case OF the
voigt Brewing Co VS.. John Holtz, a
saloonkeeper, when he decided that
contract made between brewer
and saloonkeeper for the exclusive
sale OF beer made by the former,
cannot be enforced by injunction.
HoltE leased building from the
Voigt company at Fort and Hastings
SITS, with the agreement that he was
to sell only Voigt beer Because OF
the change in the taste of the neigh
borhood In which the saloon is locat-
ed, Holtz later stocked up with a
number of other brands. The com
pany then asked for an Injunction to
restrain him from handling other
beers, and a temporary restraining or
der was gpanted two weeks ago by
Judge Mandell.
Judge Muffin rules, however, that
under a decision by the supreme
court. such a contract can not be en-
forced by injunction, but that IL will
be necessary for the company TO re-
sort to the law courts instead OF the
chancery division to sue for damages
for the loss of it's trade at that par
ticular saloon. The oompany's petit
ton for a permanent injunction was
denied.
According to Attorney Charles f.
Delbridge, who represented the com
pany, the case will be appealed to
the supreme court.
A story of the discrimination in
price practiced by the Voigt Brewing
company was told on the witness
stand by Holtz, Thursday. Accord.
ing to Holtz, the company charged
him 80 cents for a case OF two dozen
bottles of beer, while other saloon
keepers bought the beer from the
same company for 76 cents.
e. w. Voigt, president OF the com
pany, was cross-examined by former
Judge Harry A. Lockwood, who rep
resented Holtz. Mr.. Voigt admitted
that to some saloonkeepers he would
give a rebate of. $3.50 on barrel of
beer selling for 81, but that only 81
rebate had been allowed Holtz. He
did not tell why this had been done.
