We are glad to state to your Honor
that we believe that the general re-
spect for the law throughout the county
is increasing and we believe that crime
as a whole, in this county is decreas-

that the vast majority of the people
are in accord with the spirit for bet

desire to state that we believe that the
unlawful sale of Intoxicating liquors
is less now than at any period in our
county for some time.
We beg leave to thank your Honor
for your able and splendid charge to
us at the beginning of our work; we
desire now to endorse your Honor's
administration since you became our
Judge and especially your enforcement
of the criminal law, and we now take
this method of assuring you of our
utmost confidence in your sincerity,
honesty and fairness as man and as
: Judge and we thank you for your
kindness and courtesy during our sit
tings.
We desire to thank our district at
torney, r. s. Hall and county attorney,
C. e. Hill, for their assistance and kind
ness to us while performing our work
and in fact we desire to thank all the
county officers for their consideration
and assistance to us while in session.
And now having concluded our Ia
bors, we ask that We be finally dis
charged.

Another Play

SISSON LAMBASTS COLLEAGUES
FOR ABSENCE THEN STEALS
AWAY HIMSELF.
(By Frank ID. Lander, Jr.)

Washington, Nov. Mississippi
has better land and better climate than
any state in the West"
This is the significant declaration of
Representative Percy E. Quin who has
just returned from four weeks tour
of the West with his bride.
81 san say that" said Mr.. Quin, with
perfect frankness, for l saw the West
under the most favorable circum-
stances. A desert is liable to blossom
like rose when you have your bride
by your side, and if l was prejudiced
at all in considering the agricultural
advantages of the West, was favor
ably prejudiced"
Representative Quin is now the only
Mississippian in the lower house who
is in Washington. The two latest to
leave were Representatives Collier and
Sisson.
A few days ago Representative Sis
son, in an address on the floor of the
House, scored his Democratic col
leagues from Mississippi and other
states for being absent from their
seats. He declared they ought to be
here to vote important legislation from
time to time.
Many representatives regarded this
as political play on the part of Mr.
Sisson, who was at that time the only
Mississippian here, and were surprised
to learn that four days later he wa
himself absent from Washington. 1t i
understood his wife is in i'll health, bu
many Representatives hold that if MI
Sisson was compelled, for any yreasor
to leave Washington at the preser
time, he should not have scored hi
Democratic brethren for doing tn
same thing simply because they ha
done it a little earlier than he did.
Representative Quin travele
through more than a dozen states whi
on his bridal tour, and in -

An effort was made by Attorney-Gen-
eral S. s. Hudson to receive the
amounts alleged to have been wrong
fully taken by Gov. Vardaman, and
the suit with this end in view was
pending in the courts when the legis-
lative session of 1912 met and an in
vestigating committee, headed by Capt.
Frank Burkitt, named to investigate
the matter. This committee submit
ted report exonerating Vardaman,
and which was branded by his politi-
cal opponents as a fragrant case of
whitewashing by the legislature.
In the mean time attorneys for Gov.
Vardaman, who had in the mean time
been elected senator, instituted injunc-
tion proceedings to prevent Judge l..
Brame, special counsel for the state,
who had been employed by Gov Noel,
from continuing the fight in the courts,
the new attorney-general, Ross A. Col
Inns, having ordered the dismissal of
tnC Cdcc dlIcI nc cntClCu
The question of whether Gov. Var
daman did, or did not, wrongfully use
public funds, was never heard on its
merits in the courts, the Injunction be-
ing sustained by the Chancellor on the
ground that the matter was res ad-
iudicata, the legislature having exon
Grated the former governor.
One phase of the case was finally
carried to the supreme court, a suit
of the special commissioner appointed
to take evidence to recover fees due
having been appealed, and in decidine
that case the supreme court strongly
intimated that the entire subject mat
ter should have been heard on it'
merits in the lower courts.
In his letter to a personal friend a
Carthage, Gov. Brewer says that thu
report that he intended to revive thi
old controversy has evidently beel
started for the purpose of prejudicin
certain persons against him.

Cabinet Stands Behind Wilson.


Washington, NOV. 12-President Will

in his efforts to force the retirement of
Provisional President Huerta as a nee
essary step to the pacifcation of Mex
leo.
For more than two hours Tuesday
the cabinet discussed every phase of
the Mexican situation, and the con-
sensus of opinion was that the United
States government should not take a
single backward step in it's announced
program looking to the restoration of
constitutional government in the
southern republic.
Though cabinet members were reti-
cent afterwards about expressing their
views, it became known that all favor

that the United States was in earnest

self from the situation. On the ques-
ton Of raising the embargo on arms,
the cabinet members expressed vari-

ed in this method a practical and per-

snow fell, five persons were killed and
ten others lost, and where $2,000,0 900

INSULTING THE sUFFRAGETTEs

Let us hope that the matter of that
parade riot, when the suffragettes rode
through the streets of Washington. will
be probed to the bottom. Let us hope
furthermore, that when the blame is
fixed, the people who are to blame will
be dealt with in such a way that all eX-
lstant hOOdlums, and all future genera
lions of hOOdlums will be warned to
keep off the grass and out of the road
when any number of American women
choose to 60 on a parade through the
streets Of the capital of the nation, for
any purpose not distinctly unlawful.
The, Herald is no believer in woman
suffrage. Yet it is aware of the fact that
tens of thousands of bright. intelligent
American women are in favor of it; and
it remembers that this is a land where
thought is free, and where women and
men have the right to think for them
selves and act for themselves on all the
recognized issues of the day.
1t is not a question of whether We be
lieve in the plea of the Suffragettes. Nor
is it a question of whether we approve
of their parade as a means to the end
sought to be attained by it. Nor whether
the women might be better employed.
The people III that procession were
American women and an Americn
woman has the right TO 60 wherever she
pleases, on any errand not forbidden by
law, and no lOw-brOwed male ruffian has
any right to modest or make her afraid.
If the idiots who interrupted that pro
cession of American wives and mothers,
really did it to hinder the cause of sui
frage, they needed a few elementary les
sOns-at the end of a hOrscwhip-that
they were taking the sureSt way to make
suffrage popular. For, be it observed,
the strongest and most intelligent Of the
anti-suf rage people in Washington at
that tiEc. condemned the interruption of
the parade of the suffragettes, and Joined
in asking for an investigation of the p0-
lice department at Washington.
