vARDAMAN ON ROOSEVELT.

The people of Mississippi know
Roosevelt. He is neither all bad
n or all good. Governor Varda-
man in referring to him in his
newspaper uses this language:
1T is said that men follow the
bent of their genius. That pre-
natal influences are often potent
in shaping thoughts and ideas of
after life. Probably old lady
Roosevelt during the period OF
CESSATION was frightened by a
dog and that fact may account
for the qualities Of the male pup
which are so prominent in Ted
dy. | would not do either an in
Justice, but l am disposed to
apologize to the dog for merton
ing it."
Roosevelt's mother was a
Georgia woman; from one of the
best families of that state. Gov.
Vardaman's language is an IN
suit to every mother in the land,
North and South. You can con-
denim Roosevelt as the worst
man in the country, and still the
language Of the Governor is most
shameful, humilating and dis
graceful. Do you want a man
in the United States Senate
whose cool, deliberate utterances
are such as will make the people
of Mississippi hang their heads
in shame and humiliation? II
you do, you now have the chance.
No man who would use such Ian
guage about a woman, is fit for
any office. great or small.

VARDAMAN ON DR.. EWING.

DIR. Ewing at one time was

] GreenviIle, Miss. He preach
1 a sermon which Governor
ardaman did not like. 1t con-
lined nothing personal against
lie Governor. Here is the way
be Governor referred to the ser
ion in his paper:
"The lurid and hell beIching
Iterances of the Greenville cler-
yman and other sprightly mis-
skes of his class. will not reduce
he number of lynchings in Mis-
ssippi, or anywhere else, but
hey will give this gentlemen a

EIm. | think this clerical Don
luixote would like to have a bet
er paying job in a northern city
nd fell upon this plan as the
neapest and most effectual way
advertisement for it. l hope
) God he may get it."
How is that for a United
|tates Senator? What influence
you expect a man of that
to have in the Senate?
What good could he do Mississip-
il? DIR. Ewing is one of the

A PERSONAL MATTER.
Language That Caused Henry to Attack
BilbO.

Bilbo.
On April 5, 1911, T.. C.. Lowrey, OF
Blue Mountain College, gave out a sworn
statement as to the offensive language
used by Bilbo in his speech at Blue
Mountain in reference to j. J. Henry.
Mr.. Lowrey says: There were about
a dozen ladies present and occupying
front seats upon that occasion, their
presence was recognized by Bilbo and
every one OF them left the hall just after
the language used by Bilbo about Mr..
Henry. The language was so unelean
as to justify any lady in being insulted
at its use in her presence and, L think,
it would have been hard to get a jury
that would not have cleared the father,
brother or husband of any lady present
if he had shot the speaker down on tie
spot"

Censuring Statesmen

Resolutions "deploring" the votes of United States Senators Bulkeley and Brandegee, of Connecticut, in favor of seating William Lorimer, Senator from Illinois, was declared out of order in the State House of Representatives, Thurs day, on the ground that the resolutions were. "new business" The date for the introduction of new business was set at the beginning of the present session for February 3.
 The decision of Speaker Scott came only after a hot debate in which the Senators from Connecticut were un- mercifully grilled by both Republican and Democratic members of the House for their Lorimer votes. United States Senator Bailey of Texas was another name brought into the debate.
 Representative Banks objected to the reading of the resolutions on the ground of new business. How could he divine what was in the resolutions, some Rep resentative asked. Speaker Scott per mitted Representative Peck, author of the resolutions, to go on with the read ings. Representative Chandler of Rocky Hill favored the resolutions but thought that Senator Bailey ought to be censured for his stand along with Bulkeley and Brandegee. Tingier, Democratic leader in the House agreed with Chandler. Then came Speaker Soott's ruling cut ting off further discussion.
 The exchange of pleasantries between Republican Leader Banks and Repre- sentative Peck disclosed the tension under the surface. Banks called the measure a "fool resolution from that side of the House." Peck retorted that the Republicans had introduced some ''fool'' resolutions of their own.

The Governor S Advice

The special message of the Governor asking the legislature to be careful about making appropriations and the state ment made in the house yesterday by Representative Dunn of Windham county, that the state is growing "hunch- backed carrying it's deficits, D were rather startling to say the least, but neverthe- less apparently grounded in fact
 The governor in his message points out that there are deficits that should be provided for and makes certain recom- mendations which should be needed and investigated before any action is made on requests for appropriations. It is easy for members of the legislature to try to comply with the requests of their constituents for appropriations for this and that, and it is perhaps natural desire to endeavor to comply with them, but there is always and ever the greater duty to the entire state.
 Governor Baldwin points out that under present conditions of appropria- tiOns and revenue the state will face deficit of $1OO,O at the end of the two years rounded out in October, 1913, which practically means the period of his term of office, and he believes some measure should be taken to prevent, if possible, this debt against the state. And the major portion of the people will agree with the governor that this is true.
 Governor Baldwin believes the affairs of the state should be conducted on the same general sane and logical lines that a successful business enterprise is con- ducted and that the work of managing the commonwealth affairs should no more be blindly done than would that of private corporation, which line of argument marks the governor as an astute reasoner and an executive of statesmanlike qualities.
 The advice the governor has given the legislature in good advice. and it is hoped that it will see fit to take it and profit by it.-Hartford Post.

Where are the Oxen?

Not so very many years ago every Connecticut farmer thought it necessary to have one or more yoke of oxen, says the Hartford Times. To-day there are many farms without 8 single yoke, horses taking the place of the slower beasts of burden. But there is still some demand for them and the price is per haps higher than it was ten or twenty years back. The other day five pairs of oxen crossed the ferry at Goedspeeds on the way to Woodbury in Litchfield county and the aggregate value was fixed at $1 ,0OO by the man in charge, an average of $2O0 a pair.

 there by an American who has just made his way through the newly af- fected district that 10000 revolution ists, most of whom are striking coal miners, are armed and waiting for the signal that means assault on the fed eral garrisons. A spread of the revo- lution idea beyond all bounds, elimi- mated in the censored dispatches from Mexico, and the imminence of the fall of the town of Chihuahua, are two de- tails given by the American.
 The fact that the commander of the army of 15,000 men now assembled in San Antonio has been notified to take the most minute precautior against just the contingency that may arise across the Rio Grande before the end of the week is demonstrated by the order which has gone to the local of ficials of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad not to delay trainload of ammunition which is due to arrive in the railroad yards within the next few days.
 According to the information which the American who arrived in Eagle Pass brings, $500 coal miners who have struck from the coal mines in Piedras Negras and the coal country south of that point are ready to form the backbone of the new army of in- surrectos. They are armed with guns and fifty rounds of ammunition apiece, both of which they have been secretly collecting from agents across the bor- der in American territory for the past three months, Already there are 500 men in the field who have not as yet come into a clash with the federals, but who are moving toward the city of Chihuahua to join the besieging forces there.

Tribute to Mary E. Smith

A Tribute to Mary l.. Smith
 It is with sorrow that feel called up on to write few lines of tribute to the memory of Mary Everett Smith.
 For nearly fourteen years l had known her intimately and have had from her hands genuine tokens of true friendship and esteem.
 It was pleasure to have kno own her. The simplicity of her ways and manner made her beloved by all who came within the charmed circle of her friendship.
 A braver, moro serene spirit never passed from life to enrich the realms of death.
 The smiling courage and fortitude displayed by this poor, weak and help less woman during her years of suffer ing and upon her bed of pain and death was never witnessed upon a field of battle!
 Hers was gentle life hers sublime | death.
 We know this, she can never suffer more; never again feel the chill of death. She has shed her last tear, and upon her brow has set the seal of everlasting peace.
 She was broad-minded, loving and charitable. No worthy cause ever knocked at her door and went away empty handed. Ths story of the poor or destitute was always heard by her. Her heart was as open as the gates of day itself She showered kindness abroad as the sun sheds light. It can truly be said that if all her kind deeds were flowers, her tomb would be buried in wilderness of them. The was be- loved by those who know her. She gave cheerfully of her life and means to all.
 She was not 8 Christian as the term is used. She never affiliated with 8 church.
 The world was her church. To do good her religion. Time and time again has the writer sat with her and discussed the problems that men have tried in vain to solve since the dawn of mankind. #t.
 l After all she would say, 'Will, we do not know No one knows I''
 She did not believe in hell of pun ishments or heaven of rewards. She believed that every person worked out their own salvation and by their own deeds were punished or rewarded.
 She had rather belief than dogma or creed.
 In her life love, truth, charity, virtue, kindness, hospitably and generosity reigned supreme. Good deeds were her prayers and 8 loving life her religion.
 These were her Great Lights and she lived up to their standard unselfshly.
 She lies tenderly at rest with the neighbors whom she knew aud loved, and who are now at rest. We all hope to meet again the loved and lost.
 The mystery of life and death we can not solve, we cannot comprehend.
 The golden bridge of life from gloom emerges, and on shadow rests. Beyond we do not know we cannot see.
 At least character survives goodness lives; love is immortal.
 And the loving smile, the home-llke companionship, the generous hospitality, the cheerful word, the unstinted charity of the loving dead will always serve to make her memory immortal to those who knew and loved her we'll. "Lay her f the earth
 And from her fair and unpolluted flesh May yiolets spring. WILLIAM D. BOSLER New York, March IL. 1911.'
