INDIANS STORY SECURES
A PARDON At MERIDIAN

Meridian, Miss.-In the case oil
John Vaughan, a Choctaw Indian
from Neshoba county, arrested on
charge of making and circulat-
ing counterfeit money. heard today
before Judge Niles in the Federal
court, the court told the Indian to
go home and behave himself.
There were several of the phi
losophers of the woods present in
court when the Choctaw Indian was
arraigned. He had no attorney
but was represented by another
Indian. who is a preacher, as in
trepreter.
When asked if he was guilty the
interpreter said:
He say he pass two dollars,
{ hat he made himself, but it was
not government money"
Then Simpson Tubby. for that
was the preachers name, launched
into an oratorical effort that
brought tears to some eyes. He
said that the Indian could not read
that if he asked the white man il
he could hunt, one would say yes,
and another tell him it was against
the law. But the Choctaw wanted
to obey white mans law; he was
baubachele (friend) with the white
man.
With tears streaming down his
cheeks his usually stole features
took on animation and he said:
Judge. when we made treaty
with our baubacheJas it was t.
stand as long as the sun shines, as
the water runs and the grass grows
green; put your hand into mine
and let's be baubachelas; if you say
John he 60 to the penitentiary
then ne 90"
Judge Niles replied that the sur
still shone, that the water still
ran and that the grass still grew
green, and that John Vaughan
would not be sent TO the peniten
tlary. He told the Indian that
low-down white men had sold then
fire water. had broken up theil
ball games, and he told them t
stay away from this class of white
people, The Indian was told t.
go home and not get in any more
trouble. The judge frankly stated
that he did not believe that the In
idan meant to do wrong.

In the Legislature.

Jackson, Mississippi = Unless
somebody pours oil on the troubled
legislative waters, the conditions
next week will be worse than they
were today. The contest over the
issuance of bonds to cover deficit

an increase in the tax rate will be.
gin next week. This fight may
consume two or three days, or even
longer. The Bailey bill prohibit
ing corporations from owning or
leasing land for farming purposes,
is the special order in the House
for 8 p. m. Tuesday, with big
fight already in sight.
The elective judiciary bill. which
went to the Governor today, is
being watched closely by the sup
porters of that measure in the
Senate and House. Under the pro-
visions of the Constitution the Gov
ernor has five days IN which to
either sign or veto the measure. If
the Governor holds the bill longer
than five days it will become law
without his signature. Gov Brew
er, at the opening of the session of
the Legislature, said in his mes
sage that if such bill we're passed
he would permit it to become a
law without his signature. A
report was circulated around the
Capitol this afternoon that the
Governor had made the statement
today that the elective Judiciary
bill passed recently is unconstitu-
tionaI. This report caused some
of the Senator's to express the
opinion that the Governor would
veto the bill and they are planning
to hold the Legislature in session
long enough to pass the bill over
the Governors veto. if he refuses
to sign it, or pass a new bill in the
event that any serious defects were
found in the Norwood measure
The circulation of the report
about the possibility of a veto of
the judiciary bill was one of the
causes Of the breaking of the
quorum in the Senate this after
noon. The purposes of the sena-
torial tiIibuster was to delay legisla-
tion and thereby prevent final ad-
journment until an elective judi
ciary law goes into effect.

the SELF-HELPING NEGRO.

H. B. Proctor, pastor of the
First congregational church, negro,
told his congregation recently that
one of the first principes of true
religion as we'll as of racial pro-
gress, was recognition of the
principle of seIf.help.
That is true in every acceptation
of the definition ofsseIf help.
The old saw has it that Provi-
dence helps those who help them
selves. Whether that be taken as
literally accurate. it is unchalleng-
able that the white man is incom-
parably more disposed to aid the
negro who aids himself. The idle,
the parasite or the shiftless negro
can and should expect no sympathy.
either from his own or the white
race. And his own race should be
the, first to repudiate such a type.
For the worthless negro lowers the
standard of the negro who tries.
and threatens the entire race with
an unjust estimate.
1t is particularly gratifying to
see that Proctor loses no oppor-
tunity to drive home to his people
not only the gospel of racial pride
and self-help. but also of practical
education. of clean morals and of
sanitary living.
1t every negro preacher in At
Ianta would steadily preach these
doctrines. we should see a speedy
diminition of some of the ugIier
and more menacing phases of the
negro problem
At bottom the negro, as we'll as
the white man, who lives amid
cleanliness and who is protected
from disease. has a fair start in
the direction Of industry, of sanity
and of respect of law.
And 1t IL just here that the white
people Of Atlanta can help the
negro. As Tbe Constitution has
long contended. the germ knows nc

sanitary law for both races and 3
