In writing 10 the Beacon Oh
March 10th, 1910, Hon. Z. D.
Cavett in commenting on the
charges against Maj. vardaman
had this to say:
"Some claim that Ex-Governor
Vardaman has never made an item
lied report of the contingent fund
Of $4,000 year (S20, 900 in alD that
he had control Of while governor,
but no doubt he will, IN due time ac-
count for every dollar, for none but
very ultra-political enemy doubts
the honesty and integrity OF Varda-
man. He Is a spendthrift and not
much Of financier, but there was
no craft in his administration"
Three weeks ago the following
appeared in the columns of this
paper from the pen of Mr.. Cavett'
1--WE have fallen on bad times
when an act has to be repealed to
protect a state officer. and suit
dismissed by resolution of the legis-
tatuTC W pEcNCHt uJiCy thnb thiC
Supreme Court has decided Is I'M
earned and held by bank, being
paid into the state treasury. ! I'M
derstand that Judge Brame will not
cease his efforts to collect this
money. As far as the contingent
fund Is concerned think this might
be let alone as 30 long a time has
elasped the vouchers may have been
lost or mislaid."
Thus does our esteemed friend
increase in wisdom with the pass
ing years. But the partisan acts
of the present legislature "fresh
from thepeople"very fresh indeed,
have been quite enough to change
the view point of most any honest
man with q mind open to the
truth.

JINGOES REBUKED.

The definite statement that the policy of strict neutrality along the Mexican border is to be adhered to makes it evident that the govern ment means to help Mexico all it can by checking the campaign for intervention that is being conducted on the American side Of the Rio Grande.-Washingto Post.
 The joint resolution. which may or may not get through democratic house. would apparently annul and wipe out the value of existent con tracts for the cXportation of Ameri- can products to Mexico, which con tracts were entirely legal when made. A constitutional question is thus clearly raised Is not such joint resolution, in so far as if af- fects the property value of con- tracts already made. an eX post ftcto law? And does it not take away property without due process of law" If so then it is beyond the powers of congress acting directly and manifestly' beyond the indirect action of congress conferring dis erection" upon the executive.
 One other objection is that q pre- cedent is established which any European government can quote against us, if our merchants try to sell arms and ammunition to rebels against such governments. Yet the motive for the joint resolution is commendable. and the usefulness of it's policy cannot be denied The policy is drastic. It goes very far. Yet if it can be carried out. it may be better than intervention. better than war The choice of evils lies before the House of Representatives. We have no doubt that it will be faced with a due sense of responsi- bility.
 From the Brooklyn Eagle)
 The effect of the act on Mexico and Mexican regard for the United States must bemarked and salutary It will reassure the Mexican govern ment and its constitutes of the sin cerity of American friendship, and at the same time discourage those who are disturbing and trying to embroil Mexico in trouble with the United States. The president, who has handled all phases of the Mexi- can problem so well. may be trusted to enforce effectively the law which has been made at his desire and to put on a more satisfactory basis than ever before our relations with other countries which happen to be suffer ing from sedition and insurrection.
