ONE GREAT FAULT

the campaign with allegations OF va
rious high crimes and misdemean-
ors committed by the senator. One
| by one these have shrunk or been
proven never to have existed-one
only excepted. On this the Stockton
ties plays like Chinaman on his
fiddle, which has but single string.
and while there is neither music nor
sense to it, it has noise enough for
"a swamp orchestra of bulIfrogs.
And it is:
Fletcher voted for Lorimer''
In its volume and lack of logic, it
is like nothing so much as the ex-
preston of another outbreak record
ed almost nineteen centuries ago.
viz:
Great is Diana of the Ephesi-
ans.''
No one has so far shown that
Senator Fletcher, on taking his oath
of Office entered into any obligation
to vote one way or another in such
matters. No one has so far dared to
allege that he voted as he did for
any corrupt motive. No one has ad-
vanced any evidence that his vote
cost his constituents dollar in mon
ey or did his state any harm, and no
one of them, so far as the Star has
seen, has given any but hearsay rea-
son why the senator should have
voted otherwise.
Senator Fletcher has not denied
the charge, nor tried to excuse him
self. He has explained that he care
fully and conscientiousIy studied the
evidence, and voted accordingly. He
has invited his critics to come for
ward with reason and proof that he
should have voted otherwise, and
they have not done so. No man has
faced him in debate on this question,
or any other. They are all afraid
to do so, because they know that
Fletcher could prove his case before
any intelligent audience, and that a
series of discussions would be a Sc
ries of victories for him and insure
his nomination
Senator Fletcher has never denied
that Lorimer was elected by corrupt
methods. He has said there was no
doubt of the corruption, but that he
had studied the evidence closely and
could find nothing to connect Lor-
inner personally with the corruption,
and so voted as he did.
1t must be remembered that FLEET
cher did not study this question
from either partisan standpoint or
that Of righteous but sometimes mis-
taken popular Indignation He stud
led it with the trained mind of
lawyer and a judge, accustomed to
weigh evidence.
And until some man can come.

analysis of the evidence, showing
that Fletcher was wrong, no man
udS q " NouuCIln
Should not we rather honor him?
Don't we all know that he knew
he was making an unpopular de-
cision? Wasn't the handwriting on
the wall right then that he was
periling his reelection?
OF course it was; any man who
knows the A. B. G. of politics knows
that Mr.. Fletcher knew that he was
putting his political future in dam
ger.
But would any citizen of Florida
send darkey to the changing for
stealing unless he was sure of his
guilt?
Therefore, when the citizens of
Florida elect a man to represent
them in the highest legislative body
in the world, they should expect him
to act with wisdom and courage and
use his judgement and not that OF
either preiudiced or uniformed
men.

er happened to be living in Natchez when the fight was made by
Judge Reilly to close the saloons that had been running there for
years without interference. More than FIVE hundred men were sum-
moned before the grandJury and those men all swore that it was i'm
possible for them to tell the difference between tea and whiskey.
Tea being the name whiskey was sold under. Failing to overcome
the public sentiment and close the saloons in the Circuit Court Reilly
took the case to the Chancery Court and secured a restraining order
against the saloons. They violated it and were held in contempt of
court. The officers OF the law were none too vigiant in closing up
the saloons so Judge Reilly personally served the warrants on the sa-
loon men or several of them. AND THE SALE OF wHIsKEY IN MATCH
Ez WAS STOPPED BY THE PERSONAL EFFORTS OF RELY AND RELY
ALONE, WITH THE COMBINED INFLUENCE OF OFFICIALS AND PUBLIC
SENTIMENT AGAINST HIM.
This is the truth and statements published to the contrary are
in Keeping with the vile slander on Vardaman made by the rabid
campaign sheets of 1911. Marion Reilly acknowledges no man his
boss. He fears nothing living or dead and has, an exact sense of
justice, which has been lacking from our courts and State govern
ment for a long, long time and above all. he is without price, can
be bought, can't be intimidatrd, can't be trapped and when you tell
lies o n him he is not going to take his fight to the dear people for
exhonoraton but he is going to plant his FIVE hundred pound fist
between somebody's eyes. 1t is alright to tell the truth on him,
but don't lie boys-dont do it-Senatobia Democrat.

A CRAP GAME AND A PISTOL.

a crap game at Charleston last week, a bottle of whiskey and a
concealed pistol resulted in the death of two men and ere this
reaches the eye of the public, possibly the death of the third man
Just a little thing. The crap game was bad enough but had there
been no pistol there would have been no killing; these men might
have battered each Others faces, but that would soon have worn off.
Now three families are in sorrow and the souls of two men have
been ushered before the Judgement bar of God-certainly their last
acts were not such as would commend them to the favor of the God
of the universe. How many, how very many. of like occurrences
would be averted if there were no concealed pistol. Only once in a
thousand does anybody need the death dealing pistol stuck away
under his clothing, and in view of the fact that they so often get
those who carry them into trouble and shoot the life out of some
poor man who is unprepared for the end, thus leaving the one who
carried the pistol, and who, in a moment of rashmess, uses it, to
mourn for the balance of his days and perhaps serve a sentence in
the state prison, it does seem that public sentiment would take on
backbone enough to stop the nefarious practice. Few, veryf few,
there be that will defend the concealed pistol, to all appearances it
is without defenders, hence it does appear that the better thought
and the better sentiment of the country would control and stop the
concealed pistol. To stop the man from carrying a pistol you are
oftentimes protecting him against himself. The public has learned
the lesson; when will it determine to apply what it has learned? A
few, level headed determined men in any county can always put the
law breaker. on the run.

A

"Just prior to the primary election this summer, under the caption
of Another Campaign Lie Nailed this paper took Hon. 5. A. Nor
in which he stated that Congressman Sisson had voted government
money for a Catholic institution. Edtoriany we said some hard
things about Mr.. Morrison, among the rest we stated that Mr.. Nor
rison had lied about Sisson voting money for the Catholic institution
1--WE based our judgment of the facts on the following evidence:
Robert N. Page, Chairman of the Subcommittee of the Appropria-
ton Committee, of which Mr.. SESSION is a member, and over a signed
statement. dated July 9th, 1914, Chairman Page stated that Congress
Sisson had never supported any appropriation for ANY re-
ligious institutions.
"On July 20, 1914, Congressman Sisson issued a signed state
ment in which he claimed he never voted to appropriate money out
of the Federal Treasury to support a school maintained by the
Catholic church.
ave believed from Mr.. Pages statement and Congressman
simply lied about the question for the purpose OF misrepresenting
Sisson-and we said so in the Herald.
"Since the primary election we have ascertained that Congress-
man Sisson DID VOTE to appropriate government money for the
Board of Charities of Washington, d. c, to be used and expended
for INDECENT children at institutions under sectarian control. Con-
gresham Sissons vote on this appropriation is recorded on page
AGO of the Congressional Record, date Feb. u.
1--WE are now convinced that Mr.. Mornsons statement that Con-
gresham Sisson voted to appropriate government money for a Ro-
Catholic Institution was true and hereby apologize for the
statement published in which we stated that Mr.. Morrison had lied
about the matter in question. 1t is not our purpose to wilfuly mis-
represent any man or candidate, and when we find we are wrong-at
any time and at every instance-we are only too glad to make prop
er correction"
The above from the Water Valley Herald of Nov. ~ speaks for
itself and is reproduced not with any desire to embarrass Hon. 7. U.
Sisson but as a matter of justice to Hon. S. A. Morrison.
With the lights before US W e are OF the opinion that our Con-
gresham did not realize the import of the proposition before his
committee and that he voted as we, or almost any one else, would
have done under like circumstances. 1t is absolutely impossible for
a Congressman to be informed about the basis or details of every
proposition presented for his consideration, and VIC repeat that we,
unwittingly, night have cast the same vote Mr. Sisson did, but the
surprising thing about it is, that he should have eearded so gravely
the charge made about his vote. We all recognize that it is one of
the underlying principles of our government to keep church and
state separate and that sectaran appropriations are dangerous.
