Il is currently reported on eve

pal politics are getting hot" and
a few hypocriticaI fellows are
going around deprecia;ing this
state Of affairs.
What Is tho cause OF this? /
appeal to the voters and tax
payers Of this city 70 stop, look

son. good or bad. b. 0r wrong
for this evident attempt - line UP
the voters against men OF probity
and honor and WOO have demon
srrated their financial ability by
their success in life and their
honesty as business men in the
city and who now voluntarily
c1er their services TO the city
government free OK charge. They
agree % give their ;ime and tall
sut believing that by so doing
they can correct sore Of the adj
mitted evils that now exist in the
city from the extravagant waste
0f the peoples money. These
-eatlemen have no AK 10 grind,
they are patriotic citizens, inter-
este1 in the welfare Of the town
n which they live and own prep
erty they are some Of the larg-
est taxpayers in the city and can
have, positively, no other motive
than the Upbuilding OF the mu-
nicipality and the lessening of
the burdens of taxation.
There is not more than one OF
the present and old Board Of
Aldermen eligible to succeed
themselves or each other because
Of the fragrant violations Of law
while in the service. For in
stance see Section 3i30 OF the
Mississippi Code which says, that
the Board shall NOT increase the
Indebtedness Of the city without
first submitting it 70 vote Of the
people, the records Of their Office
and their minutes as well as their
sworn reports show that they
have done this very thing with
oIt vote OF the city or having
made any attempt TO submit the
question as the law directs.
Again, sections 1905 and 3446
says no member of the Board
shall be interested directly or IN
directly in any public contract OF
any kind or description, either
as contractor or agent.
Go TO their records, Mr.. Voter.
in the office OF the Clerk OF the
Board who Is also member and
you will see that they have con-
tracted with one of their number
for the lease Of a City Hall for a
term OF years ct monthly rental
Of twenty dollars when it is well
known that a suitable room could
nave been rented for five dollars
per month and perhaps less.
Again, the city voted bonds
under special act OF the Legis-
lature Of Mississippi in 1910 for a
specific purpose, viz. % improve
and extend the lighs 4sd water
plants and to pay certain iadebt-
edness contracted by them in vio-
laaon OF law. Those bonds were
bought by the Bank Of Oxford
under a solemn obligation on the
part OF the Board to deposit the
money in said Bank until check

specific purpose named in the
act and for which the people OF

cure Judge DeLacy's reappointment.
Witness the following from The
Washington Times of July IA, 1912:
Women Petition disappointment of
Judge DeLacy.
A petition has been presented to
Attorney General Wickersham by
Arthur G. Moses, first vice president
Of the Board of Trade, asking the
reappointment Of Judge William H.
DeLacy to the Juvenile Court bench.
1t is signed by number of women
including Mrs. Thomas H. Carter,
widow of the Senator from Montana,
member of the Board of Children's
Guardians; Mrs. Philip H. Sheridan,
Mrs. Joseph A. Enslow, who is ma
tional charity officer of the D. A. r.;
Mrs. Margaret L. Cooper, Miss Alice
L. Riggs, Miss Helena M. O'ConnelI,
and many others.
The petition calls attention to
Judge DeLacy's qualifications for
the position he now occupies, and in
dorses his administration of the
Juvenile Court.
The petition was presented yester-
day afternoon, and today is being
considered by the Attorney General.
Twenty-four organizations, fra
ternal and benevolent, sectarian and
non -sectarian, representing an ag
gregate membership of 500 women,
have Endorsed Judge DeLacy,
through their respective officers.
The names of these latter are ap-
pended to the petition.
The petition was presented by
Mrs. Carter.
Individual signers include Mrs.
Maurice Francis Egan, wife of the
American minister to Denmark;
Mrs. James Dudley Morgan, Mrs.
Isabel w. Ball, Col. John G. Scant-

~lIR: l have just reached my
rooms from Burwell's Depot
IL for Watson's Magazine, with
an armful of Watson's great
weekly-The Jeffersonian-fifty,
of July 4th, containing the
Juvenile Court article which I
purchased to send to some citizens
of Washington to acquaint them
with the methods of the Romanized
Juvenile Court, pointed out in the
Lutheran resolutions, in the Luther
an petition to the President and
Congress, against the reappointment
of William H. DeLacy who seemed
to have violated his oath of Office to
the government in stealthily con-
Verting the National Juvenile Court
into Roman Catholic church insti-
tuition
I had sent out ten Jeffersonians,
and the fifty will make sixty, in all.
One prominent lawyer here has
already purchased and distributed
fifty, and naval officer of high
rank, a dozen. AS write, Mr.. Bur-
well informs me that newspaper
man has just purchased fifty. The
first 100 you sent went in three days,
and the following 200 are nearly all
sold. .Watson's Magazine, the
monthly, is also in great demand.
The readers of The Jeffersonian,
July A, will doubtless remember
that the Romanists printed the
Lutheran resolutions in the Congress
Sional Record as endorsing DeLacy's
reappointment, when, as a fact, they
were wholly and radically against
him.
1t was not the only instance of the
Irish Roman Catholic high-handed
practice to hoodwink the President,
the Congress, and the people, to Sc
