Order or Intervention

' Inc mexican disorders are
such that the United States will
, have to assume more vigorous
attitude toward the neighboring
republic. unless the government
OF Mexico can give assurance of
early tranquility. For nearly
two years conditions in the vic
unity of our long frontier have
been grossly unsatisfactory, and
the Madero government seems
TO be about as helpless to restore
order as was the Diaz govern
ment which it succeeded. Citl-
zens of Texas have been con-
stantly harassed by marauders
from the other side, and they
are becoming tired of the incur
sions Of these armed desperad-
oes. Not only that, but in the
hearts of Mexico American resi-.
dents are subjected to any annoy
ance. 1t is said that thousands
have returned to the United
States because of the danger TO
life.
Citizens Of the United States
have large interests in Mexico. /
Multiplied millions of American .
money have been invested there
and thousands of citizens have
gone into business there. For
two years, these business in
terests have been injured by
outlawry End disorder. II is not
contendec that the losses suffer-
ed by American investors or the
annoyance to which Americans
have been subjected as indiyidu-
ais grew out of prejudice against
the American people. but it is a ,
well known fact that a class of
MexIcans are bitterly hostile to
he people Of the United States. !
These conditions can not be
permitted to endure for an indie @
mite period. Citizens of Ger ,
many and England. no less than !.
itizens Of the United States, are
leavily interested in Mexican
property and business. They. 4
90. are becoming tired of the q
haos that has existed since
ladero first raised the flag of !
evolt against Diaz. and unless I
he United States can induce the Y
iexican authorizes to make more
trenuous efforts to suppress the
ebellion now In progress. the :,
governments of Europe may be -
to take a hand. W
Without further delay. the in
'nited States should place an A
dequate force on the frontier -
protect the property and lives
American citizens. Thea the
Iexican authorities should be in =
'rmed that It is imperative to
store order at once. II it be 4
,able to accomplish that. then
PREVENTION is inevitable. II is
ell understood that none of the '
exican factions desires Ameri- ID
N troops on Mexican soil, but w.; ~,

Chairman, Publicity Bureau

Hon, Mr.. Daniels is a newspa
per man Of North Carolina, and
he and Hon. Robert Ewing, edi-
tor Of the New Orleans States
who was Chairman Press Contri
buttons Bureau, campaign head
quarters Chicago, did valiant ser
vice during the campaign, and
both have been mentioned for
cabinet places, which we hope
they will get.
One thing that adds to our Joy
in the election of Wilson is that
he is the first presidential candi-
date for whom we voted that got
elected. The first time Cleveland
was elected we were only large
enough to bring up the rear end
Of the torchlight procession; tue
second time he ran was our frs'
vote, and at his second election
we were temporarily disfranchis
ed on account of removal from
Pike county, but we whooped il
up for him in our paper.
Wilson is not only native Of
Virginia, (uur fathers State the
mother Of Presidents, but he is
a Presbyterian, of which faith
there have been more Presidents
than any other; not that it makes
him any better, being merely a
coincidence. Marshal is also q
Presbyterian, and while he may
not be a Virginian, his ancestors
we're; he is a nephew or grand
of Chief Justice John Marshall.

My dear SIR
The campaign which is now

any other campaign in our histo

the papers Of the country. 1t is
the only csmpaign in forty years
in which a considerable msjori-
ty all the newspapers Of America
have supported the Democratic
ticket, and if the victory is as
large as it promises to be, the
power Of the press will be demon
strated more than in any previ
Gus campaign.
Without the earnest .co-Opel a

LEE ELEcTTYE JUDICIARY

In spite Of the opinion Of the at
tOrney general that there could be
no election Of judges and ehancel-
lOrs, about $500 voters in the Tu-
pelO district wrote the name Of
Chancellor Robins on their tick
cts. 1t is to be presumed that the
question on which the legislature,
the governor and the attorney gen
eral have held such conflicting
views, will now be got into court,
where it seems to belOng.-Vieks-
burg Herald.
Though we have no objection to
seeing this question settled by the
courts, yet we fail to see how an
election could be legally held for
which there is no statutory provis
ion. II memory serves us right,
the opinion in this matter was Civ
en- by the first assistant attorney
general, who is reputed to be one
of the best lawyers in the State
The legislature passed a resolution
asking the Supreme Court to give
the Governor an opinion on thi:
question, hut we have yet to fine
the man who knows if they CAV,
| it. The man who introduced thu
amendment did not provide for tn,
election of supreme judges, posi-
bly thinking as they were not al
fected their opinion would not b
biased. But if the amendment i
upheld their turn will come next
The measure is more than likel'
to be decided adversely. Among
other things, the special session
should have adopted it, and mex
legislature likewise.
The district attorney has bee
appointed chancellor Of the distric
N question, and perhaps Judg
Robins, knowing he would not b
appointed, took this procedure,
An elective judiciary is a cost

CAPTAIN WHITE IS DEAD


SD year, died at his home, South |
MeCOmb. Miss, at 7:I5 o'clock on
Saturday night, Nov. Is, after an
illness Of about five months.
He was born in Anderson eoun-
ty, S. c., April !, 1880. When 81
years old his parents moved to
Mississippi, settling in Madison
county, where his father, William
MOOreWhite, began to manufacture
lumber and the son entered school.
Being proficient in his studies, he
became in time school principal,
reslgning after a few years, to en-
gage in the carpenters trade, serv
ing a long apprenticeship. With
his brother, R5bert E., he success
fully conducted a sawmill in Pike
county, near Summit, from 1859,
until the war began. He was OPP
posed to secession, but when this
State seeded he joined the Wilson
Guards, which became Company
H, 39th Miss. Reg, his brother
having previously enlisted in the
McNair Rifles, 9Sth Miss.
Captain White was a lieutenant
of his company, participating in a
number OF engagements, among
them the battles of Corinth and
Port Hudson, being captured, at
the siege of the latter place we are
informed, and imprisoned on John
sons Island near Sandusky, Ohio,
until the war ended, after VIII ch
ne returned TO Summit, almost
penniless, but started a small saw
mill, and with grim determination
began to hew his way through lif'
| N which earnest endeavor he was
successful, amassing a fortune.
In '73 he moved his mill jus
;outh of McComb where he bull
up a hourlshing village-Whites
town. He is said to have been the
irst man in Mississippi to build ,
Iog tram road OH which the car,
were operated by Steam.
The Picayune correspondent il
IN able write-up from McComl
says: by dint of prescience, o
sagacity, OF determination, of enel
gy and of enterprise, Capt. White
won his distinction as one of tht
South's great captains of indus
try. Without aid from any source
md self-reliance as an, only re
source, he fought and won th'
great battle Of life deciseively
Personally, he was a most genia
and affable gentleman, easy of ap
proach and agreeable in converse
ton. He was a man of strong
friendship, and was never knowl
to forget a person who was friend
ly either to himself or his interest
He never sought a public career
preferring to lead a peaceful, pri
vate life, seeking only the reward
that comes from the consciousness
! Of a duty we'll performed" "
A monument to Capt. White
enterprise is the Liberty-Whit'
Railroad, which was completed il
July, 1904, under the able super
vision of his son W. M. White
connecting Liberty with McComb
and this year extended an equa
distance to Tylertown.
Captain White had business in
terests in Liberty, being a larg
shareholder in Liberty Mercantile
Company and Liberty Bank, ant
through his large land-holdings il
the eastern part of Amite, he ha
? been thoroughly identified will
the county almost the entire perioC
; since fhe war. That he was he'll
in high esteem and much revere'
by a people whose fertile territor!
he had done so much to develcl
goes without saying.
He was several terms presiden
of the Southern LumDermen's Al

BULL MOOSE" MANAGER
APPEARS IN THE SENATE
AFTER LONG ABSENCE

Senator Joseph NJ. Dixon was ad-
dressed by his colleagues yesterday as
the Chief Bull Moose" when he ap-
peared on the floor of the Senate. The
Senator's manner indicated that he
took a more serious view of the cam
paign than some Of his colleagues did.
Senator Dixon disappeared from the
Senate floor simultaneously with the
announcement that he had assumed
the management of Col. Roosevelt's s
pre-convention campaign. That was
many months ago. He has seldom
been in the Senate since. He admitted
yesterday that he was trying to get in
touch with the legislative situation,
but was not certain how long he would
be privileged to remain in the legisla-
tive harness.
President Taft will not get a single
electoral vote" said the Senator. He
would never have been nominated had
they not robbed us at Chicago"
Senator Dixon was surrounded by
Progressive Republican Senators as
soon as the Senate took a recess. 1t
was not strictly a Roosevelt meeting.
Senator Cummins and Senator Borah
were there, and they have both declined
to follow the Bull Moose party. Sena-
tor Kenyon. of Iowa, was also present.
and he is a Taft supporter. But the
political equilibrium was maintained
by the presence Of Senator Clapp, Sem
ator Crawford, Senator Bristow, Sena-
tor Bourne. and Senator Gronna.

7. R. GOES into
STATE SITUATION
Predicts that New York Will Give
Third Party Tremen-
dous Vote.
TALKS WITH TIM WOODRUFF

New York. July e-The progressive
day at conferences in Col. Roosevelts s
office. If the assurances given the for
mer President are borne out. the third
party is destined next November to poll
tremendous vote.
Timothy L. Woodruff. whom Col
Roosevelt wants named by the New
York forces as leader OF the State cam
paign. was cIoseted with Roosevelt for
an hour. Woodruff told Roosevelt that
his reports from all over the State indi-
cate that by the time the fall campaign
is in full swing the third party will be
in position to put up terrific fight.
Woodruff conveyed word to the colonel
regarding prospective candidates on the
Democratic and Republican tickets. who
are eager to enter into deals with the pro-
gressives to support the third party
electors II indorsed themselves by the
Roosevelt men. The Brooklyn leader
was urged to go ahead and try to cap
ture as many of these ambitious candi-
dates as possible.
How Colonel Figures.
The colonel calculates that If he can
manage to ensnare enough strong
Democrats or Republicans to run on his
ticket, and in return for the support
given them. work for the election of the
Roosevelt electors. he will deal a body
blow to the opposition tickets. 1t Is
hard game to word out-Roosevelt con-
cedes it-but he will try It out.
William A Hotchkiss, 10 whom the
for Governor on the third
ticket has been half promised. was an
other visitor at the colonels office.
Hotchkiss assumed a mysterious air and
shook his head when asked how things
were getting along with his candidacy.
Other visitors were former Congress
man Littauer of Gloversville. and NJ. ].
Murphy, a rabid Roosevelt enthusiast OF
Geneseo. Clifford PinchOt and James r.
Garfield dropped in to say that the West
is feverish with anxiety TO get into the
fray.
Tbs third party move is spreading
like a prairie fire." remarked Garfield.
1T will run away with the field"
The colonel was kept busy with his con-
ferences from 10 o'clock in the morning
until o'clock in the afternoon. When he
started to motor back to Oyster Bay. he
observed that there SENS TO be some
thing in the third party move after all.
Telegraphic advices from Washington
of the suggested movement to get both
Taft and Roosevelt TO withdraw from the
race SO the Republican party
may unite upon a compromise candidate.
riled the colonel.
Don't ask me about any ouch prepos-
ferrous stuff as that he exclaimed in
dignantly.

PROHIBITION TO
START NEW TACK
Movement on Foot to Substitute
Practical Politics for
Church Politics"

Atlantic City, July 9.-The most inter
esting piece of gossip heard about the
hotel lobbies tonight. on the eve of the
assembling Of the National Prohibition
Convention. centers around a Presidential
boom. having for its basis a new issue
that would substitute practical politics for
church politics" And in connection with
the boom, the name of Finley c. Hend-
ricksen. of Cumberland, Md. is heard
quite frequently as the candidate for
the Presidential nomination on such a
ticket. The platform on which the candi-
date would make his campaign will urge
especially that there be more earnest
appeals for votes outside the church and
that less energy OF the prohibition party
be expended in trying to secure the church
vote
The Massachusetts, delegation came in
tonight bringing along a large sized
boom for the denomination of the 1908
ticket-Chafin and Watkins. The ticket al
ready has many supporters. although il is
believed that Hendricksen. of Maryland
will cut considerable figure in the ballot
ing.
The convention will meet in the Music
Hall on the pier tomorrow morning. Ma
tional Chairman Charles r. Jones will call
the delegates 20 order. More than 1000
have already arrived.
