Faulty Drafts Cause Miseues.

Vlcksburg Herald
So far as The Herald is advised.
Governor elect Brewers op'aion as
published, that the constitutional
amendment providing for the cleo
tion OF circuit judges and chanceliors
by the people was not property sub
mitted at the election il 1910, and is
therefore null and void, is shared in
by members of the bar The seeming
preporderanee of opinion adverse to
the amendment points to the refusal
of the legislature, and the courts il
judicially tested, to accept it. The
consequence will be the continuance
of the appointive system, until an
amendment is drafted in legal form.
The two failures to do this ought to
afford a guide to a third that will
stick Indeed it looks singular that
one miscue was not enough.

EDITORIAL

The Herald heartily approves OF
the Legislature having killed in
Committeeman the measure which
would make the Selling of Liquor a
felony instead of misdemeanor. The
line of reasoning which teaches that
the way to secure enforcement of a
law is to make it radical, lis not log
ical but sophistical. Make law so
drastic that the punishment begets
sympathy for the offender instead of
the other feeling, and juries will not
convict. Besides this is what's call
ed SumpsuarY law: one involving
the regulation of what man uses for
bodily sustenance or pleasure, and
we should deal with degree of char
ity with those who breach it either
by traffic or habit.

Harrison Led Iha Fight.

The Coast Beacon.
Pat Harrison. our Congressman
led the fight against secret caucuses
even within the confines of the Dem
ocratic members OF Congress, but
was voted down, the opposition be-
ing headed by Oscar w. Underwood.
Harrison valiantly championed the
open and above board plan, but there
appeared to be too many against him
who feared to let the outside world
know how they voted on all matters
submitted to their consideration.
Although defeated Harrison was
right, for the day is fast dawning
when the people will demand of every
public represen tative an open posi-
ton on every question in which they
are interested, and these officials who
fears to take the people into their
confidence will soon be replaced by
others who seek not the cover oil

That Mississippi is as healthful as

is of a great deal more Importance
that we make this fact known to the

for the Legislature to take up the

In Louisiana, Mississippi, South
Carolina and Virginia the coming
session of the Legislatures offers an
opportunity to atone for long stand

Good Roads A State Wide Move.
Woodville Republican.

Woodville Republican.
The question of good roads is re-
ceiving the atten ton of enterprising
men in every county in the state, as
they all appreciate the fact that the
greatest impetus to the development
of the South will come through the
building of first-class public roads.
In several counties in the state long
term bonds have been issued for the
purpose of building roads, which we
believe to be an excellent and prac-
tical move. By the issuance of those
bonds the public roads can be put
up to such state of excellence that
little work will be required to keep
them IN good condition. and besides
this the future generations will be
called on to cOntrl butte their share
towards this innovation. There is
food for thought in the proposition
to have Wilkinson county make a
move in this direction.

belief that he was not sincere ard did
so only to pacify the storm OF disap-
proval registered against him and

he intended to hold on to his seat in
the United States Senate and draw
the salary which the people of Mis-
slssippi said rightfullY belonged to
James *. Vardaman, We are now
convinced that we were right in our
conclusions. We believe it is d part
of a prearranged program that Per
cy's chief supporters and hencbmen
are to bring to bear sufficient pres
sure against his resignation that he
will reconsider" and, hold out to
the end under the pretense OF yindi-
eating his secret caucus election,
giving as his reason the publication
Of the secret caucus episode by the
Cosmopolitan Magazine. The howl
set up BY Percy's followers over this
magazine article and the threat to
bring suit against the Publishing
Company is all doEe for purpose,
with no hope Of accomplishing any
thing except to give Percy an excuse
to hold on to his secret caucus seat

the wishes Of the people Of Mississip-

Can't Laugh This Complete ExOneratior
To Sc0rn.

Hattiesburg Daily News.
Mr.. Vardaman S enemies charged
that lie had misused certain trust
lands which came into his hands
while he was Governor of Mississip-
pi. The case was argued as great
length before the people Of The stat
and the people, the sovereign people
gave Mr.. Vardaman an overwhelm-
ing vote of confidence. Mr.. Varda-
man S enemies, acting through spite
and for no patriotic purpose whatso-
ever, appealed to the courts of the
state. The courts held that they
had no Jurisdiction; that the legisla
ture was the proper tribunal to iu-
vestigate such charges. Mr.. Varda-
man then appealed to that tribunal,
asking for an Investigation. APP
pealed to the tribunal which the
courts had said was the proper and
only tribunal having jurisdiction.
And that tribunal exonerated him;
fully and completely without reser-
walton. And now Mr.. Vardaman S en-
emies; same old enemies; same small
NOISY crowd, want to laugh to scorn
that report Of the legislative COM
mittee and that act OF the legislature
to scorn, and continue to harass and
SANDER Mr.. Vardaman. Such persls-
tent, vindictive persecution will
drive unprejndiced, fair minded men
into the Vardaman ranks.

Vicksburg Daily Post.
The report of the joint committee
of the Legislature which investlga-
ted the malicious charges which were
made againt James K Vardamar W ~
Governor Noel Through State ac-
countant' M6oreJ was adopted by
the Senate and the House today.
These charges were intended for
use during the long-continued Sena-
torial campaign, and were simply a
specimen of the deprayed political
methods used by Gov. Noel and 9th
.er common cause leaders.
The present Investigation is made
by legislators who are in no way I'M
der suspicion.
The investigation of the secret
caucus election of Mr.. Percy by the
1910 Legislature, was made by legis-
lators who were bound to declare
their own innocence, but who were
nevertheless responsible for more
deviltry, trickery, law evasion and
subterfuges than has occurred in all
of the history OF Mississippi up to
January 1910.

since it is certain that the legisla-

the people and elect Vardaman to
the United States senate, it appears
that the time has now arrived in
which factional politics should be
dropped ID Mississippi.

factional fight that was SO bitterly
waged last year and it never at any
time tried toinfame or influence the
people one way or the other.

within seeing distance at least with
her sisters. The devasting efforts of
the great Civil War begot system
of extreme liberality IN our banking

home hnanceering obviating the
bumiliating necessity of borrowing

generation has sprung UP, and new
conditions and u phenonnnal amount
of earned wealth represented by large
lunches of active money at work IN
our banking institutions dictate
closer espionage by tire state which
is the creator of most of these fl
nancial houses. OF course the bank
ing law has had some needed tinker
ing all along but not enough TO keep
up with changing conditions. Let

radical but let them sorter catch up
though on this phase of lawmaking,
and among these we hope to see the
Bank Examiner provision mature,

but we all know that while its gener-
