SENATOR PERCY

1t is perhaps not an eXaggera'
ton to say that no man in the
history of the Republic has made
for himself a better name, nol
served his state more efficiently
in the National Senate, in sc
brief a period of time, than has
Leroy Percy of Mississippi. To
say that MI. Percy has made
good is but to state a fact that
every Mississippian, who has
watched his career in the senate,
knows in his heart to be true.
One secret of Mr.. Percy's sue
cess lies in the fact that he did
not waste valuable time in quot
ing stale poetry and scattering
withered flowers. but always
spoke to the point calmly and dis
passionately. yet forcefully, and
as his record proves, what was
best of all, convincingly.
By his speech in opposition to
the Sutherland Amendment Sen
ator t Grey aided most materially
in saving the South from the bur-
den of a second Force bill, a
measure, in fact. so Infamous
that Senator Money remarked in
effect concerning it that the peo-
pie of this section would have
opposed the Ten Commandments
with that amendment attached
to them.
In his speech opposing the Sui
loway Pension bill, Senator Per-
cy succeeded. according to press
dispatches in the New Orleans
Picayune and other representa-
tive papers, in dealing a death
blow to that Ubiquitous measure.
The passage of the Sulloway bill
would have meant, added to the
present pension appropriation.
the payment every year by the
people of Mississippi Of the huge
sum of about 81. 600, 900 to so
called Federal soldiers, or nearly
ten times as much as is paid by
them for the care of the sick and
disabled veterans of the South.
Senator Percy also rendered
valuable service in behalf of the
war claims bill, the passage of
which insures the payment of
--~--~1 ~~:ll:~~~ &c Io11orr co WIS
sissippians for property confis-
Gated during the war and in the
retention and extension of rural
free mail delivery ; in Federal
assistance in agricultural develop
ment, and in fact in all matters
pertaining to his State and sec
ton, Senator Percy was alert and
active, and if he at any time re-
fused to meet an opponent in de-
bate on the floor of the Senate,
the records do not show it! 1t is
difficult to see how any man. how
ever able, vigilant or courageous
could have served his State more
acceptably in so brief a period of
time.
With John Sharp Williams on
the firing line, and with a bril-
liant public career opening up for
Senator Percy, Mississippians
may we'll take pride in their dis
tinguished representatives in the
National Senate and feel assured
that in the future deliberations
of that great body, the Gentle
men from Mississippi will add
new luster to a state whose name
originally slgnifying The Faith
er of Waters" has long been
known far and wide as the
Mother of Statesmen"
