REPRESENTATIVES ARE AS
HONEST AS HEPEOPLE,
SAYSJOHN SHARP WILLIAMS
New Senator Pays Glowing Tribute to Mississippi in
Address Before State Society-Samuel Comp.
ers Lauds Legislator as Statesman.

Asserting that the representatives Of
the people are as honest as the people
who elect them, Senator John Sharp WILL
Jams, of Mississippi. in an address last
night before the Mississippi Society at
Pythian Temple, paid glowing tribute to
the honesty Of Mississippians and to the
character of the legislature Of his State.
When heard it said that corruption
existed in the State legislature of Illi-
nois,'' said Senator Williams, II said it
was the result of corruption at the polls
where dishonest voters. cast their ballot
that such legislature is elected. Mis-
sissippians insist upon truthfulness and
honesty as the principal qualifications for
their public servants, and just as Christ
selected one dishonest disciple, there might
be one dishonest public servant elected
now and then, but the honest people of
Mississippi could not elect all dishonest
public servants"

ing the first militia organization In the

Join the company.
The matter of taking the Rex Smith
aeroplane to the next camp of the Dis
trict National Guard will be taken up
with Brig. Gen. George H. Harries, COM
mandlng. There is every prospect that
satisfactory arrangements will be made
as the aeroplane. company Is willing to
furnish the machine without cost. and
the additional expense to the militia au-
thorities viii only be transportation,
which will amount to practically moth
ing.
Should the flying machine be taken to
the next camp. First Lieut.. Oliver c.
Terry, commanding the Signal Corps
company. will form an aviation detach-
melt, with Janus as Instructor.
Janus appeared at the Missouri Ave-

1t was realized that a new worlds mark
had been set. Burman was not satisfied
with the laurels won, and insisted on
two more trials, the second resulting in
bringing the time down 70 0:26.25. 1t was
in the last trial that he Set the mark Of
0:26.12, which stands Two trials were
made for the kilometer, the time OF the
first being 0:16.37 and the last 0:16.27.
The fact that Burman used the same
car with the same gearing as when Old
field drove it is simply an indication that
the new champion is the worlds greatest
driver. The records established to-day
recall a remark made by Oldfield after
he set the record last year. In response
to urgings that he try to lower his own
record, Oldfield said:
The record will stand. Nowhere else
except at Daytona Beach will 1t be
lowered, and even then not until faster
cars are built than exist to-day"
1t was announced this evening by no
less an authority than Starter Wagner
that E. A. Korross. the racing promoter,
had closed a contract with Burman to
drive the "Blitzen" Benz on mile tracks
in all the large cities of the country dur

Burman's salary for the seasons work
