SENATOR WHITE DENOUNCED
 AT BIG MASS MEETING
Ringing Resolutions Adopted After State Senator Re fuses to Give 300 Business Men Hearing on Free Bridge Act---Said He Should Be Asked to Re- signGives No Satisfactory Reason for
 Refusal to Accept Invitation to Dis
 cuss Measure Introduced By Him,

After introducing a bill in. the state senate yesterday to repeal the act of ' the General Assembly of 1911, an enabling act. authorizing the con-
 sruction of the Free Bridge across
 the Arkansas river at this place, an . act that has been repeatedly upheld AS valid and constitutional by the eounty state and federal courts and after he had held self requested conference with the Bridge Commis-
 ;ioners in this city last night, State Senator Thomas c White, of Jeffer- son county, slapped nearly four hun dred citizens of this city and county in the face when he refused to appear hefore them and tell them of his plans in connection with the pending bill to repeal.
 Repeated requests were made of him to give the business men a hearing, but MT. White flatly refused to hear them. The bill he introduced was read twice in the senate and he inti- mated last night that he would not even send it to a committee to give the people of this county an oppor-
 unity to be heard, notwithstanding he has said that he would abide by I tho r,y1n md ,hn lyv that large majority of the people of { Jefferson county favor the building of the Bridge.
 The business men gathered at the Chamber of Commerce rooms early in the evening. at the call of the Jeffer- son County Free Bridge Association official, President Leo M. Andrews and Secretary R. T. Louthan. It was stated that MT. White would in all
 probability hear the business mems side of the Free Bridge issue but this courtesy was denied them later by Senator White. w. T. Wooldrido,, Mayor A. C. Jordan and w. N.. .Tfulock, acting as acommittee from the mass meeting, called on him in the bank building and invited him to attend the mass . meeting. He said that he would con- slder the matter and decide it after as conference with. the Bridge Com mission. After the conference the committee was informed that Mir.
 Mnte had decided not to appear be- lole the mass meeting, notwithstand-
 ng the fact that among those present
 were many out-of-town residents. Ihe incident was discussed at Ahgth. Senator White was denounc- N as being unfair and discourteous ana cooler heads prevailed, it being
 naally decided to hear something
 more definite from Senator White. He Niused to entertain a second invita- uon rom the committee and it was
 uen that the committee asked him I nae proposed ito refer the bill to a wmmlttee and give the people of Jeff
 'srson county hearing or not He
 souid give the committee no satis-

THE TRUE SPIRIT

What a terrible condition of things would prevail if political an
tagonism also necessarily involved personal antagonism. Every
community would be divided into hostile camps to the paralysis of
all social, business and other life. Fortunately, the broader and
more catholic view that people now take makes such a condition ut
terly impossible. The world has travelled far since Mr.. Pickwick
was moved to indignation by witnessing his own lawyer and that of
Mrs. Barden laughing and joking together following the professional
dispute they had just had at the memorable trial.
That feeling of Pickwick accurately expressed the sentiment
that then prevailed, and even today a few narrow and undiscerning
people have the idea that political enmity must also mean personal
enmity. But the kilograms of sympathy and best wishes sent Col.
Roosevelt by his political rivals after he was shot, was a pleasing re-
hinder that we are living in a day when it is we'll nigh universally
admitted that political or religious differences are mo- ground for
personal differences, nor need lessen the esteem and friendship that
one man may have for another.
But this very fact should impel political speakers and the press
to moderate the tone of their utterances.. In recent political cam
pa,gns, not only in Mississippi, but elsewhere, there have been with
some speakers and papers far too much invective, and the effect is
mischievous. Less calling of names and more argument would be
more acceptable. 1t is well always to keep in mind that honesty of
conviction and patriotism is not the monopoly of any one man OF
party. Our zeal leads us beyond the lines of propriety and dscre-
ton frequently, but we should let such things servea as a lesson for
the future and endeavor always to show due recognition for the
opinions and the rights of others. %

PATRIOTIC UORDS FROM C.4VN on

In speaking on the proposition before the house OF represent
atives at Washington a few days ago to make an appropriation to
construct a grand memorial building at Washington in honor of
Abraham Lincoln, Ex-Speaker Cannon used the following language
in reference to the nations great men-words that show the great
heart of the veteran law-maker and words that Will still further en-
shrine his memory IN the hearts of the Southern people. He said:
There are certain great characters that will dwell in the history
of the country. First, and barely first, Washington; second, Lincoln;
third, Lee, a great man, a great general who did his duty from his
patriotic stanpoint; fourth, Jefferson Davis a great man performing
a great service for the republic as he saw his duty.
"A hundred years from now the ordinary reader will recall this
period, and there will be in the mouths of the school children the
names of Washington, Lincoln, Grant, Lee and Jefferson Davis"
Mr.. Cannons tribute to Lee and Jefferson Davis shows that the
country is growing, that the hearts of the people are getting bigger
and more tender and that the two sections OF our great country are
not getting together but that they are already together and bound
by ties that nothing can sever.
Mr.. Cannon entered Congress first in 1873 and with the excep
ton of one term-he was defeated in ISoo-he has served continu-
ously. He was defeated by a democrat in November last. but the
old man retires full of love for his countrymen of all parties, an af
lection which is reciprocated by the whole nation.

NO WHITES CONVICTED

The editor was taken to task by one of our good friends for the
statement in last weeks issue that every man carries his life in his
own hands. He says that people reading that away from here would
think that we were all bloodthirsty barbarians. 1t is not our mean
ing that every man goes around seeking to Stay his fellow-man, but
that when a man makes up his mind to kill his tellow-nnan, he may
do so with IMMUNITY so far as the law is concerned if he has the
money to fight the case. If there ever was a white man convicted
of murder before a Lehore county jury, it was before our time and
we have been here eleven years. Some think that such a statement
should not be published, that it might injure US with people abroad
but We are not engaged in covering up glazing facts, especially when
such facts are prohibited by our people. If you do not think that
people away from here should know these things, then change it by
the iuries' enforcing the law against the crime of murder"
The above from the Greenwood Enterprise is enough to make
thoughtful men shudder, and, while Lefore county is the most jury
fixing" county in north Mississippi, yet what is said of the failure of
juries to convict white men of murder in that county, is very largely
true of every county in the state. There is no trouble to convict a
"nipger" but there is Sc much reasonable doubt" about a white man
who habtually carries hid in his pocket a deadly weapon, even
thinking of taking human life! Bah. 1t is easier for a white man to
get by the courts in Mississippi, for murder than it is for stealing
pig. 1t is time to talk plain.

LITE Trains

More than a year ago we took the position that there should be
some means devised whereby the passenger trains of Mississippi
should be made to meet their schedules. That editorial announce
ment of ours was very generally endorsed. We were glad to see in
the New Orleans Times Democrat of Jan. Is a strongly written edi-
torial for the IN Maintenance of Railroad Schedules" The Times
Democrat refers to what has been done in the state of Texas, and
there all the railroads are prosperous. and says that the federal gov
eminent docks mail trains for not getting mail to stations on time,
and among other things it states:
ut is impossible to eXaggerate the annoy ance and positive loss
caused by this breach of schedule. As there is no remedy for the
passengers who suffer because of it, it is obviously the duty of the
State to break up the practice as far a. possible, and where it results
from neglect or carelessness, and to convince the railroads that, like
other corporations and companies, they must live up to their con-
tracts"
Only a few days ago a we'll known business man of Grenada
wrote the president of the Illinois Central railroad a letter about
his belated passenger trains and suggested that IF he would charge
his passengers by the hour instead of by the mile. the railroad
company might earn more money
