tereStS cOulQ not undermine. Mr. Al
exander drew the bill. It is today the
law of the state. Many, many times
has he been called into counsel on great
matters concerning the welfare of the
state. What he has done as a private
citizen and as a lawyer is a guaranty of
what he could do and what he would do
as a member of the United States SEN
ate.
The Foe of the CRATER and the Trust
Breeder.
He is a man of a discerning mind and
of discriminating judgment. He could
not be entrapped by the shrewd ma
chinations of the trust builder who has
been so much in evidence around the
national capital. The man represent
ing interests inimical to the best well
fare of the great body of the people
would find in him a ready, armed foe.
The CRATER, the one who would en-
deavor to flch money from the public
treasury would find Mr.. Alexander
athwart his pathway.
Day OF Demagogue and strife Breeder
Passing.
1t is a well known fact that since the
horrible days Of reconstruction, the
country has been more or less distrac-
ted by sectional questions, and to such
an extent that our thoughtful pubic
men have not had the coveted oppor-
tunity to devote their talents to the
shaping of legislation that would make
life's burdens easier to the toiler and
make it less difficult to lift the burden
from the farm and the cottage. But
fortunately for the people, a new day
is just appearing over the eastern hori-
zon. The day of the strife breeder and
the demagogue is passing. The people
are demanding that their public SER
wants address themselves to things that
will help to educate their children,
build the school houses and the
churches and simplify the task that
confronts the he ad of every household.
Want Equal Opportunity.
The great masses are cognizant of
the fact that the favored few have had
too much to do with directing the sha-
ping of legislation, both in state and
nation. What the masses want is not
undue privileges, but an equal opportu-
nifty and the proper using of their le-
gitimate belongings. Who is better
prepared than C. H. Alexander to aid
in bringing about these results? He
has been a living exponent of that doc
trine. We of the South are now get
ting where we can demand equity on
legislation. THE FIRE-EATER OF
THE NORTH, THE MAN WHO
WOULD KEEP PROMINENT THE
ISSUES GROWING OUT OF THE
CIVIL WAR, IS BEING KEPT AT
HOME. WE OF THE SOUTH CAN
NOT AFFORD TO DO LESS. While
the country has been playing politics,
the schemers engineering great inan-
cial combines have gotten in their work
and as a result less than 100 men in
the United States control half of its
wealth. This is not right. Nothing
but government favoritism could have
made such a condition possible; as q
consequence, the laboring man is not
getting a square deal and the farmer ID
not reaping the full fruits of his lands.
Men who Have shown What They Car
DO at Home.
The country needs men at Washing
ton City that have shown by their ca
pacity at home that they are able II
see into these matters. Men who car
prepare remedies and who can get thu
cooperation of others in getting thr,
these remedies. Men who have ridiculet
and abused great national character
in Mississippi and throughout the coun
try would be handicapped in getting
the cooperation Of others. 1t is bu
natural that the friends of these la
tional characters should resent tn
abuse and ridicule that has been heape'
upon them. One vote amounts to yer,
little in shaping OF in initiating legisla
ton. A useful senator must be able t
persuade others to join with him. N
dreamer can do it. Poetry will no
meet the needs of the hour. TIL
ABUSE OF PREACHERS, PRESl
DENTS, EX-PRESIDENTS, COVER
NORS AND OTHERS WILL NO
HELP THE PEOPLE. What is needle
now is brave men, men Of clear brain
and of correct business principles.
Hal Accounted For All Funds.
As an attorney, MI. Alexander he

dollars that belonged to widows and o.
phans; yet he has appropriated
dollar to his own use nor refused [
