Editor rallahatchie Herald:
Having committed a public wrong
We feel that we should make a public
confession of our error We are among
the many misguided ones who cast a
vote for Theo. G. Bilbo in 1911, and
thus foisted him on the people of the
state as Lieutenant Governor. We are
sorry for what We did and We trust
that we shall be forgiven for the wrong
We did ourselves and our state.
He at first went over the state, you
will remember, pretending not to be a
candidate for any office, and absolutely
in defence of James X Vardaman, and
in this way he got into the confidence
of the people, because ne made the i'm
pre- ssion that he was doing wholly
patriotic and unselfish thing; thus it
was that many of US took the coin ou.
of our pockets and gave to him. And,
by the way, he is still calling for con-
list of contributors or the amounts
given him, we have failed to see it.
What he is using it for, the public will
have to guess.
When we voted for hin we thought
he was honest and was heart and soul
with Vardaman. but since have become
convinced that we were in error in both
cases. Many, many things have been
said about him and told on him. some
Of which no doubt are untrue. yet no
honest reasoner can meet all that has
been brought against him.
Where there is so much smoke
there must be some fire." A man
would not marry a girl whose virtue
had been questioned half as much as
Bilbo's integrity, and the people should
De almost as careful. at least, in Sc
lecting a governor as q man would in
picking wife. Bilbo says himself he
was bribed once and there are othe,
men who stand high rs citizens, who
say that they know he hes been bribed
IN other ways. But even If he has mol
been bribed and has been perfectly
honest in all that he has done, it ap
pears to us that we should have mar
N the highest olice in the state who h
beyond question. We would ceHtainl,
De IN had way a people with I
man in the 9overnDr,s office whsp n
most half the people of the state mo-
only believe him to be dishonest, bu
wrong In many ways.
The state does not owe Rjlb0 any
thing. II he ID innocent, tthe jpry ,ver
mct gave him his liberty and ;tha
saould be enough. Oh, they SAY, -s..loQ|

Holds Record for Work.
This will be the last session of the
Sixty-third congress, a congress that
will go down in history as one which
worked almost the entire two years
of it's existence and as one which put
through number of bills which will
affect the country for generations.
The program that must be carried
out is the passage OF the appropria
ton bills. These must be passed. and
no congress in the past which has
gotten them through successfully has
had so many perpleXing complications
that threatened to kill weeks Of time
and prevent the passage OF the bills.
The most dangerous complication is
the cotton legislation. There are sew.
eral bills for the relief Of the cotton
growers. Cine is the bill providing for
the licensing if cotton warehouses and
their inspection. This bill passed the
senate with a number of amendments
so that it included not only cotton but
grain, tobacco, naval stores, canned
salmon and several other products.
Fight on Pork Barrel Bills.
Fights are also expected to occur
during this session on three pork bar.
rel bills, the rivers and harbors, the
public buildings and the good roads
bills.
One Of the hottest fights expected
on the appropriation bills is that on
the armament question. The Euro
pean war has strengthened the argu
ments of both the little navy men and
the big navy men.
Over in the senate the problem is
much more difficult owing to the fact
that there is no way OF putting an
end to the debates on any question so
long as any members want to discuss 1t.
Besides the conservation measures
there are number of other bills that
have been acted upon by the house,
but which have not passed the SEN
ate Among these is the immigration
bill. The point of difficulty about this
bill is the literacy test.
