Few pays in recent years have moved
the public more deeply than THE White
Sister 1t has to do with the eternal
question of earthly love and religious
duty-whether the sacredness OF vow
to the church is more binding than a
woman's promise to the man whom she
loves. Sister Giovanni has given herself
to the church after hearing that her
fiance, Capt. Severi. has been killed in
battle But he has merely been taken
prisoner, and five years later returns.
Severi falls to swerve the Sister from al
legiance to the church. In his despera-
ton he causes her to be kidnapped. The
situations that follow are tremendously
dramatic and the thrilling suspense is
sustained until the last moment The
moral purpose of the play, It is said, has
caused its Endorsement by church people
of many creeds.' 1t is typically Italian,
romantic, picturesque and dramatic.

The frantic efforts upon the part
of the Issue to prejudice the vOt-
ers of Mississippi against Senator
Percy because he has been a cOrpO-
ration attorney, may influence
some highly prejudiced persons
who have fondness for ox-wagon
parades, ETC., but no man who will
give the matter any thoughtful
consideration will be swayed by
any such appeals to prejudice. In
the first place Senator Percy was a
corporation attorney when Mr..
Vardaman in the columns of the
Greenwood Commonwealth took
occasion to laud him in the high
est terms as one of Mississippi's
brightest and best citizens. Again
Senator James z. George, for whom
Maj. Vardaman processes such ex-
cessive alteration, was for years a
corporation attorney. Senator
Cummins, of Iowa, one of the most
Outspoken p~rogressives in the Ma
tional Senate, was also a corpora
ton attorney. Senator Percy has
now no client whatever save the
State of Mississippi, and how eff
GENTLY he has been serving his
State is too we'll known to require
any elucidatiOn at our hands.
What we should like to ask those
who + charging that the railroads
and other corporations are oppos-
ing the election of Maj. Vardaman,
however, is this: Why, if this be
true, did the Illinois Central Rail
way, permit Hon. c.. M. William
son, one of the leading attorneys
for that great corporation, to make
a public address recently in Vicks-
burg strongly advocating the cleo
ton of Jas. X. Vardaman?
Macon beacon. [volume] (Macon, Miss.) 1859-1995, 1911-07-14

Did he settle these just debtsI
His creditors say not; Nj. Varda-
man, by his silence, says not. He
not only did not pay his back
debts, but proceeded to acquire
others. He benevOlently as SINH
lated a 800 horse from Mr.. Cald-
well, of Yazoo City, for which he
has not settled to this good day.
This horse he afterwards sold for
5000, proving that he is a better
horse trader than debt payer. He
is held in dear remembrance by
Mr.. Carson, of Columbers, for 5000
in a lecture contract.
What is the matter with Mr..
Vardamaa? Is he simply u%nfort-
innate and can't pay his debts, or
as some of his friends frankly &C
knowledge, is he a poor business
man? Even that does not account
for his habitual failure to pay his
debts. Mr.. Vardaman belongs to
that large class with larger beer
pocketbooks and champagne tast-
es. People so situated easily ac-
quire a moral astigmatism which
prevents them from seeing their
personal obligations clearly. If
they receive a fifteen hundred dol
lar salary they spend two thou
sand, the extra five hundred being
mulcted from those foolish enough
to credit them. If Mr.. Vardaman
is the poor man his friends claim,
isn't he a most prosperous looking
poor man? Can the imagination
grasp the of Vardaman stopping
at a cheap hotel? No, his country
friends, some of whom would give
him the last dollar, can wear hand
em-dOwns and eat at ten-cent lnnch
counters, but not he, the poor
mans friend.

Honest Debts.

At the beginning of the cam
paign, when Mr. Vardaman was
charge with misrepresentation of
public and trust funds, his follow
ers took their Il from him and
denounce these accusations as lies,
lies, lies. Later, when charges of
his lack of honesty in meeting his
personal and private debts began
to be Ventilated thrOught the
press, they were in a dilemma.
The White Chief failed to give
them the cue. He was impressive
ly silent. This seals the lips of
many of his supporters, or forces
them into eXcusing his conduct by
arguments which they would en-
phaticallv -repudiate as regards
themselves. This is particularly
true of some Ofthe state press, who
are his enthusiastic supporters.
Honest and reliable in their bust
ness transactions, living within
their means, they are forced to
cOndOne his conduct in these cas-
es by a curse of reasoning, which,
at heart, they know to be sophis-
tical. But as they have said the
horse was sixteen feet high, they
stick to it, when they know Varda-
man is not a truly honest man, by
their own Standards.
Some of these papers beg the
question by the assertion that near
ly all men are in debt and judged
by that rule, very few are honest.
Others claim that he has not had
a chance; and when he does get
able he will discharge every obliga-
ton.
These defenses Ire hardly worth
repeating, so utterly at variance
are they with the facts in the case.
Mr.. Vardaman has spent a fortune
(made by another man of$5O, 900;
during this time he contracted the
debt to the Canton tinsmith; it was
during that he burnt $14 Morth of
wood for a poor country boy, for
which he has never paid; it was
during that time he annexed to
himself the Grenada farmers COW.
