JUDGED ny THE SAMPLES.

The New Haven Register suggests
that Vardaman will be "a counter-irri-
tant for Weldon Brinton Hepburn. of
Idaho" The idea is a clever one: but
we, protest that Vardaman should not
be condemned before he is heard. He
is not lacking in ability OF certain
sort; he has n reputation as Il public
speaker: he Is an ADLER man than JEFF
fries Davis. Neither is he in the same
class with John Sharp Williams, the
other Senator from Mississippi, who is.
rs our Connecticut contemporary says.
"a man of honest purpose. high ideals
and superior craftsmanship"
The Register says. further, that SEN
ator Williams must carry alone the
burden of representing the real State
OF Mississippi" and upon this point we
would say that "the real State of Mis-
sissippi" must be judged by Vardaman
rs well as by Williams The latter Is
an honor to his State but the former
was nominated for Senator last Tues
DAY by majority of about twenty
thousand over two of the best men in
the State. He was nominated at an
election in which only white men and
Democrats were allowed to participate
He is a product of the primary system

ally might expect IL there should be

ators. We should say that in present
conditions he more nearly represents

TRIVIAL. APPEALS.

lawyer of New Jersey" after having

sey supreme Court. has been called
upon to show cause why he should

objection made TO his appeal is that it
was frivolous"
The Philadelphia Press is wholly
right in saying that this term might
be applied to many appeals made by
lawyers for the purpose of delay. or to
multiply fees. or merely from a habit
of mind which impels them to take
every step they can in law merely
because they can" For these reasons
litigation is drawn out beyond any
justification. the time OF the higher

and that should never have been
brought before them. Sometimes the
courts express their displeasure at
cases which th.y regard as unworthy
OF their attention. but disbarment for
wasting the time of the court is as
unprecedented as 1t is commendable.
There is a general demand for less
appeals and less tolerance OF mere
technicalties by the courts. If the
latter will answer by disbarring law

you. sir. that I entertain the highest

failed to tell them that the Southland
was our home. and that our true
friends are the Southern people.
In this / am aware that we have
some bad negroes. and the South or
the North is too good for their pres

class of negroes should not be al
lowed to remain where good negroes
are located Bad negroes are to be

good citizens to cooperate with the

depraved negroes who wantonly and

might have stopped there; but. not so.
not SO. Read what follows. and il will
occur to the ordinary person that Mr..
Bryan has simply wiped up the ground
with the Senator from Texas:
But that is not Senator Bailey's
only failure to select wisely. In 1905
Senator Bailey urged the nomination
OF Mr.. Bryan. He was elected dele
gate to Denver on Il platform declar
ing for Mr.. Bryan and ENDORSING
THE NEBRASKA PLATFORM. 1t was
suggested by Senator Bailey's enemies
that his real object was to secure a
personal vindication, but the Senator
must. of course. insist that he acted in
good faith. Is it not little unkind
for the Senator to favor a third nomi-
nation after n second defeat and then
try to exclude Mr.. Bryan from the
party councils because of three de-
feats?
And after guessing so badly on Mr..
Parker and Mr.. Bryan would II not
naturally be expected that Senator
Bailey would 'modestly distrust his
capacity to select n successful candi-
date?"
Whether or not he used his support
of Mr.. Bryan to secure personal
vindica ton" or acted in such support
"in good faith" is immaterial to the
present consideration of an interest
ing subject; the only point we would
make is that Mr.. Bryan appears to
have knocked Mr.. Bailey over the
ropes. Mr. Bailey will probably SYM
pathize with the view that sometimes
it is not really the best policy to be
on the so-calied popular" side.

THE NEW STYLE IN HATS.

Ore Che. n man millner. has just re-
turned to Chicago from trip to the
style shops of London and Paris. Last
Herald he held n conference with the
seekers after things modish in bon
nets in the parlors of Madam Hunt
in the Masonic Temple.
Here are a few of the arbitrary
rules laid down by Mr.. Cnc:
Hats will be extremely small this
fall.
They will consist of the sugar loaf
cube. the 'steeple crown and the pie
rot cap
They will follow the Egyptian
styles. and hair must be dressed down
over the ears to conform to the style.
Gowns Will be high"
But some of the women just can't
wear small hats" suggested one of
the miiliners at the Che hat confer
ence.
Very simple" replied the versatile
Che. I'VE will make the face over in
order to make 1t becoming. Try on
the small hat first. then ma Ike the face
conform to the remainder OF the pic
ture"
Well. thought the questioner. how
IS that to he done?
Mr.. enc anticipated the question:
The reason big hats are becoming
to some women is that they need the
saows they throw over their faces.
To supply this need white small hats
are worn. Dark shadows may be
drawn in with n delicate brown pow
der wherever they are needed. chiefly
under the eyes. Then. in order that
they may be not too striking, they
must be rubbed over lightly with COM
mon face powder. The result will be
that the face will fit the small hat"
This caused much pleasure among
the women. but the final announce
ment was one which will cast gloom
ever the men. The high cost of hats
is not going down. There is to be no
revision downward in prices. But
happy thought! the day is coming
when the woman will have to buy
their hats themselves. Equal rights
means equal duties: no longer Will
the male have to peel off yellow bills
for a rag, bone and n hank of
straw. In that not distant day. men
shall beat their swords into scissors
and grow fat and prosperous from the
profits of the millinery business.

THE LOST SHEEP.

tSelccted Tor The Times DiSpatch.)
What man of you having n hundred
sheep, and having lost one of them.
doth not leave the'ninety and nine and
go after that which is lost until he
finds it?"-St. Luke XIV 81: ST. Mat
thew. xviii. 1914.
The very contrast of the numbers
ninety and nine and one serves 10 en-
phasiZe the Importance, in the eyes
of the shepherd. of the one sheep lost
or gone astray. Gods knowledge and
love of each single soul is absolute
1t is of all the truths the most certain.
God would not be infinite in knowledge
or love unless He knew with absolute
completeness and loved with absolute
intensity every single soul. Surely IT
is OF all truths the most sustaining.
for 1t means that any solitary soul
who at any time has wandered from it's
true good is marked and missed and
wanted by Almighty God.
If we go into a great city and watch
the stream of lives some toilworn and
anxious, others noisy and lighthearted,
and think of all the histories of love
and hope. of struggle and sorrow, is
there not pathos which would be too
poignant in its appeal unless ones own
answering pity were but a feeble re-

member that even this single strayed
child OF Ills is 10 the Eternal God as
the one sheep lost to the watchful
shepherd. All of us have moments
when the sense of loneliness is borne
in upon the soul; the feeling comes that
our life stands apart; its burden OF

The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1911-04-17

ming on May 9th, It is probable that
the question Of establishing diocesan
college for boys will be brought up for
consideration.
This is one of the long-cherished
plans of the Rt. Rev. Theo. Dubose
Bratton, Bishop of Mississippi, and he
is anxious to have the movement
launched as soon as possible.
Since Bishop Bratton has been at
the head of the diocese the church has
established All Saints College, an in
stitution for girls, located at Vicks
burg, and it is now in first-class shape
with good annual enrolment.
The leaders of the church believe
that the time is ripe to establish
similar institution for boys, providing
the proper endowment can be secured
and if the matter is presented at tn
: meeting of the diocesan council 1t WI
doubtless meet with unanimous Ell
} dorsement.
