How to get out of the hearing of
such torrent or adroitly but not
impolitely steer the conversation off
OF such lines. is the thought that
comes to the mind and fixes the pur-
pose of every clean-mouthed man,
who is thrown into the company of a
oath splitting or vulgarity frothing
fellow. The Good Lord rebuke such
a spirit of defiling the free air with
speech which man enjoys at the
hands of a beni6cient and long suffer
ing God This writer once saw
man who could not speak above
whisper, who had. 1t was thought,
snned away his vocal privileges by
abuse. He had once been called a
silverv-tongued orator, but had
aborted the gift of tongue which had
been bestowed upon him to enoble
the race. Such punishment does not
always overtake in this world, but
something equally condign is due
and win be awarded here or in flu
lures realm.

!. ". BACKSTROM: For County Attorney

Last week the announcement of
OF Jno. w. Backstrom, the present
incumbent, was presented for the Of
flee OF County Prosecuting attorney
Attorney OF Greene County. John
was the only applicant for the Office
when it was created something like a
year ago. His statement of figures
shws whether or not he has actively
looked after it's duties since entering
thereupon, There has not been
much crime in this county since he
went into office, but we believe that
he has looked after the prosecution
of such as there has been properly
under his jurisdiction. Unquestion-
ably the fact that such an officer is
always on hand to appear in the
magistrate courts and if necessary
push prosecutions, has had a healthy
effect upon restraining the criminally
bent, as well as the other machinery
of the law.
John is a home bred product. The
son of Mr. and Mrs. Rufe |. Back

nephew OF Supervisor and President

Sundays issue OF the Jackson
Evening News presents in fac-simile
franks or passes to Jas. X. Varda-
man for the use of the wires of the
two telegraph companies, the Postal
and the Western Union, for social
and family purposes, and explanato-
ry matter which shows pretty clear
ly that while. governor, Vardaman
used them frequently adj
hitting though that such privileges
are accorded some who favor these
transmitting companies with large
volumes OF yearly business. Varda-
man gave those telegraphic compa-
MES big amount of official business
while governor which was paid for
out OF the contingency funds as his
vouchers showed. They evidently
gave him the free privilege for social
purposes as kind OF lagnlappe. To
use yankee colloquialism, we say,
He hadn't ought to have dun it,
but his record and relations towards
these and all public service corpora
tipns show that the acceptance of
sdch favors failed to corrupt him in
their favor, which is the motive be-
hind the argument. We agree with
the News that he ought not to have
ridden them as it were. for such cour-
tesies, and believe that thistlash of the
light on the matter will serve pur-
pose and warn him against dickerlng
with such things even in proved
Harmless way, when he gets to be
Emitted States Senator, and for such
work he may give Sullens little
boqIet then to wipe out the sting of
defeat to the common-causer element
of the state, whose organ il seems to
be.

EDITORIAL

This paper has watched with re-
greet Alabama, which is the state OF
our birth, take a reactory step to-
wards Prohibition, but at the time the
state wide law was enacted we Sc
cretly feared that the measure was a.
bove public sentiment, though for
prudent reasons we refrained from
saying so editorialiy. Rum has been
entrenched in Mobile for centuries,
and in Birmingham from it's birth.
Having such large populations they
can cast great deal of influence over
that state.

F. K. DAUGHDRILL:: For Sheriff 6 T..C.

f. X. Daughdrill was over from

announcement with the Herald, for
Sheriff and Tax-Collector of Greene
County. Kim is a son of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. T. DaughdrilI of fork of the
rivers. Since his marriage he has
made Nicely his home His wife is a
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Hill.
man OF that place Kim has num-
erous connection on his own side and
also his wife's. The Daughdrills,
Turner's, and Williams fro.l his side of
the house and then the Hillmans and
others from his wife's. He informs
us that he has it little on to the
other two boys who have announced
for the Office, in age, as he lacks but a
few days OF having turned thirty
years.
Kim impresses us DIS a fellow who
is going after the job, his converse
ton revealing his determination.
One thing he desires us to state to
the people in the course ofthiS com
ment, and that is that he will meet
the Taxpayers at their respective
voting precincts to pay taxes, as he
is convinced from expressions made
to him thus early in his canvass, that
such is the wish of sufficient number
to indicate that plan. This writer
has been knowing Kim every since
his boyhood days, and we number
his as one Of our constant close read
ers. From our observation of the
man, we are persuaded that if he Sc
cures the Office, he will make every
effort to discharge it's duties in a
manner, should he fail we
feel sure it will not be from original
lack of the right purpose-as he has
us as one who endeavors
to be sincere about whatsoever he
goes about. If we have misread him,
he is quite clever artist-and we
prefer thinking that our diagnosis is
close to the mark. His Cause is now
to the voters. It's for
them to say, Yes Kim or No, No,
when their ballots simmer. into the
boxes some hot day next August

Yes, we are prepared to admit
that Vardaman while governor, in
using the tefegraphic frank even for
soeial. o., family purposes did breach
ut least to the moral law considered
from correlated standpoint to the
existing law on officials accepting
privileges from corporations without
compensation. In the same issue of
the Jackson News in which we read
of this little preacn TO morals of
which it seem to make out pref
ty good case against our distinguish,
ed eX governor, we noticed several
very large liquor ads, despite the
fact that Mississippi has tried by
every device within her lawmaking
pc yer to outlaw that traffic. Is that
a breach of the moral law too? Pos
sibly its not required of the News to
live up to that which it would seek
to preach but we think all newspa-
pers should try harder than it seems
to be dong on that score. AS to
Vardman's culpability we will deal
further in another editorial.
