Reply To The Union City Writer

A few things you mention about
the mad man. | noticed the wri
ter mentioned that. he mixed with
the man who did value few dol
lars more than he did man S
life. Answer. | will say it does
not seem to be few dollars to the
man who has been a life time earn
ing it. OF course forty five or
forty-six hundred dollars would
look small to man, who could
rake in hundred thousand dollars
in few weeks | noticed the
writer says he has lost years of
the best part of his life working
for the PEOPLE of Tishomingo and
claims he has got nothing out of
it and says if he can bear that the
people of Tishomingo ought to bear
some of their troubles. Ans. What
is five years to equal their life
time earnings. Not only lost his
manhood days but lost his money.
left him without money or without
help and with a helpless family to
raise, and now who needs the SYM
pathles? l noticed the writer
where he said he made q few mis-
takes after it was too late. AIs.
l noticed some of them myself
when he said he had to be guarded
or his life would have been taken.

of Tishomingo Co. / want to act
and do in a way that Iwon' have
to be guarded by any legal officers

l don't l will let the other fellow
tell it let alone publishing it. l
notice the writer speaks of his
friends saying it was best for him
to leave if he didn't he might have
to shed blood over it. Answer.
have heard nothing of no such
talk around here. If he had a
friend who claims that he would
shed blood over him l am satisfied
that he must have whispered it to
him, and | know by this time he
is just only thinking of it. If
there should be such a man that
would shed blood for him l believe
the good people of Tisho ningo
would offer a reward for him. /
noticed the writer had been a bad
financier for the people of Tisho-
mingo, also bad adviser. too. i
noticed tina. big advertisement that
he carried in the county paper adj
vising the people to start a bank
account and not keep their money
about the house or bury it, but put
it in the bank. / know in one in

were present and by request adj
dressed the meeting, Mr. Jago
first. He said that he had come
here at the instance of Mr. Gaines,
who would like to establish a ma
tional bank at Iuka and who would
move here and reside if the bank
could be set on foot. He said,
we have the capital, wire Mem
phis financial institutions for our
credentials. He said Mr. Gaines
idea, after looking over the situa-
ton, was to try to establish a ma
tional bank of SIS, 900 capital; that
all he asked was for three men
to take FIVE shares each of the cap
ital stock. He said the trouble
with the bank that had recently
broke here was that it loaned too
much money to one man or one
corporation. The bank at Amory
had done the same thing and had
gone under recently. National
banks, he said. do not do this.
Mr. Gaines can give bond in any
sum for the safety of depositors
and will so if the bank is establish
ed. AS to the defunct Tishomin-
so Banking Company, the new
bank would be willing to make
any possible equitable arrange
inent with w T Bennett, the re-
ceiver, where the business of said
defunct bank might be wound up
in the most economical and expe-
ditious manner. If all the depos-
itors could be gotten tother such
on arrancement might be made.
Mr. Gaines then made talk also.

A BUSY HERRING.

Mayor Gaynor has got his red her
ring out and is diligently using it on
the police trail. In the evening at
church and the next day to ministers
at the City Habitat is keeping the
red herring busy. His position now Is
that. of course, there was graft. II
would not have surprised him If IT
had been a police inspector instead OF
a mere lieutenant who had been trat-
ticking IN protection. But there is no
more Of it. Oh, dear, no! He has
made an investigation. He has adopt
ed systems that are effective against

thing last summer is now utterly in
conceivable, or soon will be. Il was
fortunate enough to stop that the

But what is the Mayors assurance
that be has stopped the saloonkeepers
from paying the police worth! Pre-
cisely as much as were his assurances
q few months ago that he had stopped
graft generally, and his recent asser'
tions that the sale Of protection.
through which Becker was enriching
himself, was impossible. He did not
know Of Becker's grating while 1t
was going on. What reason is there
for believing that he knows any more
of what is going on among the police
to-day?
And what has the Mayor done TO
reveal any more Of the actual condi-
ton in the police force than the Becker
case brought to light? The police wit
nesses who have told damaging truths
about the department before the alder
manic investigating committee have
been punished. Their punishment has
served as a warning to members OF
the force who are willing to tell the
facts that they must keep quiet If they
value their jobs. The Mayors con-
duct was an aid and comfort to Beck
or. Now it is an aid and COM
fort to the other crooks who clearly
must be In the department. No such
rottenness as the Rosenthal murder
brought to light could exist without ex'
tending far beyond a mere lieutenant

DON'T GUESS; CHOOSE.

If you are gambler determine your
vote by the betting odds. If you are
a weathercock. shift around with the
floating straws. If your interest IN
government is merely to vote for the
winner, make the best guess you can
among the predictions Of the rival
claimants. If the duty Of a citizen
really means something to you, decide
which candidates and which prlncl-
pies you would like to see prevail and
stand for them like man, no mat
ter how anybody else votes. II you
really want third term presidencies
and the abolition Of the bill of rights
through the overrullng Of the consul
tuition in particular cases by popular
vote. Mr. Roosevelt is your logical can
didate and is entitled TO your vote,
notwithstanding the hopelessness OF
his candidacy. II you believe that pro-
lection is unconstitutional, as the
Democratic platform declares, and that
American manufacturers and Amerl-
can labor would be better off II it were
abolished, vote for Mr.. Wilson. II you
believe that the present prosperity OF
the country should not be endangered
by experiments, that the historic rep
resentative government Of this country
should not be changed into direct
democracy practically unrestrained by
constitutional checks, then vote for Mr.
Taft. However you vote, vote In ODE

ever be won if the soldiers who feared
they might be defeated ran off on the
eve Of the fight. The more doubtful

stand firmly for them. The result will
then reflect true public opinion, not a

The fifth triennial election for mem

LITTLE JACK HoRNER.

Never has the campaign Of candi-
date for the Governorship collapsed
more completely than that Of Mr.. Sui
ger. His supporters nave been for the
most part shamed INTO silence by the
candidates inability 10 meet the evil
dences Of his TammanyiSm with any
thing better than parade of egOism.
''rhe New York World" has not men
toned his name on its editorial page In
couple Of weeks, THE New York
Times" did print one editorial article
we can recall no more-in his favor
within a fortnight 1t probably re-
penis now Of having printed that one,
for it served to bring out the exact
language in which Mr.. Sulzer as chair
man Of the Assembly Judiciary Com
mittee approved Maynardism.
Was there ever a candidate whose
supporters showed so plainly desire
to wash their hands Of him? They are
disguised with the attempt TO make
him square with their own professions
Of opposition to Murphy, and sick Of
his childish vanity and his failure to
perceive anything more in the nOmina-
ton for the Governorship than food
for his egOism. 1t is difficult to sup
port for a high public Office a little
Jack Horner sort of candidate, who
does nothing but stick IN his thumb
land pull out a plum and say, What
"a good boy am l."
And what a good boy is Suffer- Only
neutrality-suspicious. it was
when he was made Speaker! Young
est Speaker" there ever was! AbSo-
lutely the youngest! Marvellous boy !!
The state has never had the audacity
TO repeal any laws that he caused 10
be enacted Think Of that! Never.
Not even one! And he was only in the
twenties And the nation, too has
never repealed any Of his laws. And
he Is still young. Youngest Congress
man who has ever sat in the national
halls Of legislation for a score of years,
we don't care what the cyclopedias Of
biography may say 10 the contrary.
Little JACK ElOrnerS never grow ola.
He may be out Of the twenties now,
but his campaign speeches don't show
IT, Wonderful record! Neither nation
nor state has ever had the audacity to
repeal a SuIzer law. No wonder every
one should point to the rise and career
: Of William Sulzer."
His supporters may find it a bore.
But so would the elders of Little Jack
Horner have found him an intOerable
I little fool. But fortunately there were
no elders in Mother Goose land; other
wise the editorial pages there would
have been a frowning blank about the
pulling out Of the plum. What a pity
Mother Goose characters should stray
out Of the magic precincts of eternal

FEALTY AND HOWlS.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: II those Indians at Madison Square
had had the slightest real human feeling
for Theodore Roosevelt, they would not
have compelled him to stand there and
listen to their caterwauling for three
quarters OF an hour. No man with suffi-
cient Intelligence TO vote wisely would
compel an invalid TO undergo such an
ordeal. No man whose reason was upper
most would feel It necessary TO howl for
forty-flve minutes in order to prove his
fealty. I have some friends that think
Just as much OF as the mob at Madison
Square thought OF T. r., but have never
stood and howled at them for even half
an hour. They have never expected 1t
Of me.
And as 1 have watched from my office
window the antics OF the Roosevelt men
below, / have been glad that I did not
hDve TO associate politically with his fol-
lowers. | have seen them howl down
Taft speakers who merely desired an OPP
portunity to present their side Of the
case. So far as my observation goes, this
spirit Of intolerance has been confined
almost entirely to the followers OF the
colonel. I have been round the edges OF
number OF political rallies, and the
Roosevelt followers were the only ones
who seemed to possess no sense Of pro-
priety. FL. ORION.
