Is This Honest?

Ex-GOv. Jas. K. Vardaman, in
face of his own record, denies that
he misapprOpriated or embezzled
a dollar of the trust funds han
died by him while governor. He
makes those denials notwithstand-
ing his record shows the charges
are true, and he has refused to
give n tangible or reasonable
explanation of what disappeared
through his hands.
Now Gov. Vardaman's honesty
is again brought into question,
another opportunity is given him
to grow red and blue in the face
in denunciatiOn of the bureau that
he fBiled to remit what was due
it.
OThe Herald submits the follow
ing correspondence which appear
in Sundays Jackson News to the
supporters of Gov. Vardaman and
asks them does it show that Gov.
Vardaman is either the friend of
the "poOr man, or honest in his
dealings. If Vardaman had been
the ''pOOr mans friend' he would
have paid Mr.. McCulla for his
COW at some time during his four
years as governor when he was
drawing a salary of "a, 900 a year
and house rent free. If honest, he
would have promptly RENTED at

Grenada, Miss, May "a, 1911.
Mr.. r. A. Carson, So. Mgr.
Redpath Lyceum Bureau,
Columbus, Miss.
Dear Sir: 1 have heard that
Ex-Gov. Vardaman, who is now
asking the people to place him in
another Office, owes the bureau with
which you are connected on con
tracts for lectures at certain
places. In other words that you
secured places at which he might
lecture, that you made the dates
and contracts, what was to be
paid for the lectures and that so
far he has failed to pay to your
bureau its pro rata for said lee
lures. Is this true?
I have been informed that he
is due your bureau approximately
5000. Perhaps it will not be out
of place for me to state that Gov.
Vardaman owes me $26, and the
interest for the balance due Oh a
COW which [ sold him about fif-
teen years ago. You see I am not
making any inquiry of you that 1
am not willing to answer myself.
[ have been in rather hard lines
for several years and it is only by
the hardest labor that I have
been enabled to keep the wolf
from my door. But | had rather
be poor and on my little farm than
to live high at somebody else's ok
pense. [ have asked Mr.. Varda-
man by letter and otherwise for
what he owes me, but it has done
no good. Even while he had the
Contingent Fund he didn't think
of me.
Hoping to hear from you, I am,
Very respectfully,
VIM. MCCAULLA.

a list of the names of the contrib
utors to the ~battleship silver ser
vice fund, his transferring to his
personal account some seventeen
hundred dollars of public funds
and his absolute refusal to open
the books at the bank where these
funds were kept to show how they
were expended after being placed
to his own account; in fact his
mishandling of every trust fund in
his possession most certainly can
not inspire anyone with any de-
gree Of faith in his ability to act
as business agent for Mississippi's
interests in the greatest business
body upon earth. In this con-
nection the Beacon would like to
ask what has Major Vardaman
ever done to advance the material
interests of his states What are
his views in regard to immigra-
ton? What interest has he ever
manifested in the matter of re-
claiming the marshes and swamps
in the lowlands of the state!
What has he ever accomplished in
improving the highways of the
state? What has he done through
the columns of his newspaper to
promote the success of the great
state fair which is held each fall
in his own home city7 What has
he ever done in fact but to pro-
claim to the people of other sec
tions the frightful conditions, as
he processes to e them, that ex-
ist in Mississippi, the worst kind
of ''advertising'' that the state
could possibly receive.
For the sincere supporters of
Major Vardaman, the Beacon has
no unkind word nor wish. It con-
cedes to them the same sincerity
of belief that it has the right to
claim for itself. 1t has only the
warmest regard for many of them
and is more than pleased to num-
Der them among it's friends. If
the Beacon has seemed to be un-
fair to MI. Vardaman, it stands
ready to make any honorable
amends, and it is willing for any
honest, unprejudiced citizen to
judge whether or not it has been
as just in it's treatment of Major
Vardaman rs the Issue has been in
it's consideration of At~o oppo-
nents. Whatever the result OF
the senatorial contest may De, the
Beacon can assure the friends OF
Mr.. Vardaman that it intends to
emerge from the contest without
the slightest particle of i'll feeling
towards any mar who has honest
ly seen fit to differ from it's poll
cy, however strong his partanship
for MI. Vardaman may be.
On page 800 Of Riley's History
OF Mississippi the Beacon is
quoted as urging every voter to
do his duty. But tho. many years
have passed since that appeal was
written, the Beacon claims today
to be actuated by the same devo-
ton to principle that character
lied it's policy in former years.
With a supreme assurance in the
rectitude of it's position the Bea-
con feels it a patriotic duty to OPP
pose the election of Major Varda-
man and it enters the last few
weeks of the campaign with malice
towards none, but with a full de-
termination to stand for the right
and an abiding faith in a righteous
verdict at the polls.

HARD WORK GUESSING WHICH NATIONAL
LEAGUE TEAM WILL PULL The PENhANT

New York, Aug. 21.-Sam Crane.
baseball expert for the New York
Journal, is unable to forecast which
team in the National league is going
to win the pennant. but points out some
interesting facts in connection with a
review of the situation, in which he
shows that the Giants will have to .go
some" if they come across with the
flag.
For a time it looked is If 100
victories for any club in the National
league would assure the club winning
that number of games the pennant. but
the situation has changed somewhat
owing to the spurts made by the Cubs
and Pirates when they had the weak
Bostons as their cinch victims. says he.
That more than the century mark
will be reached by possibly two clubs
looks now to be reasonable PROPOSE
ton. The Cubs and Pirates appear to
have the best chance, for they have
won more games than any other Of
their nearest rivals, and both are play
ing more consistent ball than the other
teams They are both liable to crack,
though, and in week may be back in
the ruck.
To look at the situation as it exists
today, in a calm, dispassionate way, it
can be easily figured that the Giants

JANITORS SWEEP A
VICTORY FROM CUBS

Until the eighth inning of the jan
itor-Cub game at Athletic park Sun
day afternoon, the score stood to s.
The game was played for the total
gate receipts. and the Cubs desired to
discontinue the game and split the
money, but Shorty Elliott, the manager,
commanded them to stay with the Jan
itors to the end.
In the eighth. three OF the broom
wfelders secured cushions. and the fire
works started when Price got up and
knocked in a run. and every man up
after him scored a man from third. One
by one. the Cubs sought suitable holes
in the fence to escape slaughter, while
the Janitors gathered their bats and
went in the direction of the gate in
quest of coin. The sweepers had bat
ted around about three times. and with
no outs, the Cubs slipped off the field.

have a very hard row to hoe from
now on to the close of the season, and
that their only salvation is for the
Cubs and Pirates to crack.
Have Played 100 Games.
The Giants have played just 100
games to date. leaving them only 81
more to play to completes their fun
schedule. If they lose 10 more games
they cannot possibly win more than
103 games. If they are defeated 10
times from now on to the end they
will have won just an even 100.
The Cubs have won So games and
lost 81, leaving them So games TO play,
and they will have to win SS games
more to reach the century mark of
wins. They can therefore lose II games
and still reach that record
The Pirates having won 81 games
and having SO to play, they can lose III
games and still get 100 victories.
Consequently, It can be easily ap-
preciated what gigantic task the
Giants have ahead Of them to pull out
in the lead. They have been living on
hopes all the season of getting into
one of their famous winning streaks,
but they have not been able TO do so
as yet, and the erratic game they are
still putting up makes the hope that
they eventually will get into the anticf-
pated stride look somewhat forlorn.

saw. The teams were on Their toes
every minute, hustling, fighting and
pulling of all kinds of remarkable
fielding feats. You know 1t happens
that way at times; 1t is contagious,
and even the worst Of them play great
ball when spurred along by the others.
In spite Of the hard hitting neither
side could score many runs. and the
count was two and two when the ninth
inning started. San Francisco didn't
score. and in the last half OF the In
ming 1t looked as If we had grabbed
the game. We had runners on hrst
and third, with none out, and then q
pop fly and a strike out came along
and it looked bad for the run that was
needed. l was expecting an attempt
at a double steal-but instead they
tried q hit and run play. Mohler at
shortstop was going to cover second
to make the return throw to the plate
when the ball was hit. He was in
side the base, of his balance, and 1t
didn't look as If he had one chance
In million to stop, get back and get
the ball which was hit right at the
spot he had left. He stopped sudden
ly and seeing 1t going past. dived back
wards and sideways at it, and speared
the ball. AS he stopped it he fell
fat on his back, with his feet pointing
toward first base and his head out to-
ward left field. The runner going to
first was a fast man. There wasn't
q chance to make play either to
second or to the plate as these runners
already were nearly Overland 1t
looked like the game. Mohler didn't
have chance to get up. If he tried
It., the runner would beat the ball to
first and the game would be over. He
didn't try. Lying fat on his back. and
without raising his head he threw
toward first. The ball went over like
a flash-straight into the first base
mans hands. The runner was out and
the game was saved. We won 1t
later, but I never shall forget that
play.

of the first stanza, but the Hose came
back good and strong with four runs
that took the coveted to the score
board. The White Sox made no more
tallies until the fifth, when they an
nexed three more, at which point the
game was carefully slowed away on
Harbin's hip. Sullivan for the MIXERS
pitched steady ball but costly errors
