good government when they voted
to ratify his nomination.
So far as the moral delinquencies
of Mr.. Allen are concerned, we
hardly e what they have to do
with the questions that he asked
Major Vardaman; but one thing is
doubtless true-Mr. Allen, what
ever his shortcomings, is no worse
man now than when he was refer
red to so often by the major as a
'spatriotic soul" 1t was only when
he crossed the majors path that
he became so vile. 1t occurs to us
that a man, whose conception of
moral worth is no clearer than to
be able to discern imperfections in
a fellowman only when he deems
that fellowman opposed to him, is
indeed a very poor person to sit in
Judgment upon the character of
anyone.
The major says that Mr.. Aliens
letter would do justice to a real
master in the art of vilIificatiOn.
We quite agree with him. The
columns of the Issue bear emphat-
ic testimony to the fact that Mr..
Vardaman is a real master in the
art of villification, and his abso-
lutte failure to answer a single one
of Mr. Aliens questions shows
conclusively that that letter must
have done justice to him. "Pity
tits, tits true"

LET US HA We LIGHT.

Whatever the prevailing Opin-
ion may be concerning the failure
of Mr.. Vardaman to shed a little
of the blessed sunlight Of publici-
ty in the presence of Accountant
Moore. last Monday, the Beacon
does not believe that there is one
thoroughly honest man in the en-
tire state who would really desire
to see Major Vardaman the I'M
fortunate victim of a base Islander.
If he be innocent of the charges
that have been made against him,
the Beacon earnestly hopes that
he will be able thoroughly to vim
dictate himself; if the charges be
true it is difficult to see how any
good citizen, whatever his pOliti-
cal utilization or personal prefer
enee in the present campaign could
desire to elevate a man to the SEN
atOrship with such record.
If Mr.. Vardaman had the legal
right to refuse to make answer to
Mr.. Moore, he most certainly has
not the moral right to refrain
from making full explanation to
the ''sOvereign people" who elect
ed him governor. Until such ex-
PLANTATION is made, it is useless to
cry persecution, and it is equally
useless to attempt to brush the
whole matter aside by claiming
that the vouchers were stolen.
The people have not forgotten that
Major Vardaman testified before
the Contingent Fund Committee
that he did not always take vouch-
ers, and besides, the question of
missing vouchers is by no means
the only one that demands expla-
nation.
The "SOVEREIGN PEOPLE"
want the facts and the blessed sun
of publicity must shine in.

stage where it's seriousness de

PANAMA CANAL.

Several southern papers have
recently commented on the great
part southern men are taking in
the building of the Panama canal.
Four of seven members of the
1sthmian Canal Commission are
southern men, and so also are all
the division engineers. the heads
of the departments of civil gov
eminent and of sanitation, the
Chief Justice of the Zone and
others. In the engineering de-
partment the south predominates.
This is divided into four divisions
and over the head of each is
placed a southern man. Among
those mentioned as very promi-
nent are five Mississippians, one
of them a Maconian, Arthur Ses-
sions.
Col. Gorgas. at the head of the
sanitation in the Zone, is a south
erner. And to another south
erner, Col. Walter Reed, belongs
the honor of having discovered
the method of prevention of yell
low fever, which rendered the

No one cared a snap about Var
daman's violation of the law in
using a free pass-that is, no one
was disposed to hold it up against
him as a very consequential breach
of the law. What the people do
consider and condemn is his denial
of the act in the face Of "a cloud
of Witnesses" embracing people
whose word had never before been
questioned. Aberdeen Examiner.

FORBIDS SUNDAY FLYING
Woodruff's Application for In
junction Against Sheriff Denied.

The Nassau Aviation Company will hold
no more Sunday aviation fights AZ the Mas
sau Boulevard, as a result Of Justice Gar
retson's decision in the Supreme Court de-
nying the application for an injunction
against Sheriff De Mott, Of Nassau County.
The aviation company. of which ex-Lieu-
tenant Governor Timothy L. Woodruff is
the head, contended, through its attorneys,
Grout e. Grout, that the meets were educa-
tional and were held in the interests Of sci
ence. The justice held, however, that the
meets came under that section Of the Penal
Code which forbds shooting, hunting, fish,
ing. playing horse racing, gaming or other
sports. exercises or shows on the first day
OF the week"
Justice Garretson said the violation OF
the code was further strengthened by the
fact that admission was charged TO the
meets.
Mr.. Woodruff said Yesterday that the
meet this afternoon would probably be the
last one Of the season.
