whsh ueaifnt WIN thc phbnc 10 practice
the utmost candor. In a word. have
never had a political secret.s In the
first number OF his Issue, February i,
1905, in his salutatory, he said: aThe

tel the people Of Mississippi about all
public matters insofar as ID Il able TO
learn, and is going to put itself to some
trouble to learn it, There Is no need
Tor this matter to be shrouded in dark
ness or mystery. Since the governor car.
not reeollect as to the fact, his memory
could easily be refreshed ii he will
practice the supreme rule of his hfes and
take some trouble TO find out the truth,
he can, / believe, in two DAYS. by
writing to the proper office OF the rail-
road company, learn whether such pass
a been issued and used. This whole
thing reminds n of the freshman, who
was arrested for some oifense and, when
asked by the judge, "Are you guilty or
not guiltyf' said, @Sure, and how can /
know, your riverencef / haven't heard
the evidence yet
