placed the detectaphones in the
hotel at Vicksburg and jackson and
of hearing the conversation be-

the testimony of Castleman as to
the hotel meetings.
The fourth and last witness of

took down the conversation be-

Burka had exhibited the detecta-

manner of working. Mr.. Doug

reading the dialogue, but called
Hobbs the "other voice" having
stated he did not know Hobbs

The Clarion. Ledger takes Com
missioner Blakeslee somewhat to
task for having THE Bulletin"
published in Memphis. when the
legends he fathered-" Grown in
Mississippi Made in Mississ-
ippi" are printed conspicuousIy
across the front pages of his paper.
Mr.. BlakesIee explains that he
got the best bid from Memphis"
and his friends are said to be jocu-
larly asking him if the State
couldn't employ cheaper Agricul-
tural Commissioner!
The Leader takes occasion here
to say what has crossed its mind
many times, although it may not
be good business principle I"
And We do not mean to single out
Mr.. Blakeslee for criticism in what
is common business custom.
In the transaction referred to,
however, as in similar ones every
where in every business, money is
placed above every other considera.
tion and the virtues that ''exalteth
a nation" or individual are set at
naught for few cents or a few
dollars that go to just anybody for
''the best bid"
Now. it seems to US that were
we reader to recognize not only
our own institutions and enter
prises with our patronage, but those
backed by men Of high principle
who represent the best citizenship
and patronize them because of their
fealty, their deserts and their
service, with view TO sustaining
high standards among the people
by our loyalty to them, that per-
haps honor and virtue would re-
ceive such an impetus that the way
faring man, though fool, would
realize that 1T pays to be honest"
and true and upright! The reason
Lit doesn't pay sometimes is be.
cause honest people are not true to
each other
Good men have suffered and died
for righteousness sake, while the
best bid" was made by some un-
desirable who fattcned and flourish
ed off the price that the other man
failed to make in all honesty as he
saw it.
Loyalty TO the common brother
hood Of a higher citizenship in
business and everywhere would en-
hance the virtues that make for up
lift. progress and real prosperity
among the people. There are some
men worth more than money to the
world and its progress, and they
should not be set at naught even in
business and for the best bid, =
that spells a tendency sometimes to
perpetuate with money what we
oppose on principle.
The higher walks of life can be
made more attractive by consis-
tency even where money has its
part. than by compromise and syc-
ophancy and cupidity, to the utter
disregard of what the best bid
often perpetuates on the one hand
and what it cripples and discour-
ages on the other.

Another Georgia town has voted
in favor of saloons and here is the
reason given by a citizen: If
we are going to stand for our
women folks wearing shadow skirts
and slit skirts and transparent
skirts and our young women learn
ing to dance the boil weevil wig
gle. the Texas Tommy tango, the
bunny hug, the bear dance, and
half center, the buzzard flop and
the puppy nuddle and so on down
the line, then the men folks might
just as well have their saloons and
the whole push 90 to hell togeth-
er. "-Tupelo Review.
That's right; either cut all these
evils out, or let them all come to-
gether. -Meadville Advocate.
Gentlemen, your argument is
bad. Add strong drink to the dam
gerous dance and you won't need to
go further for 'hell:" and because
some ills are endured there is no
reason others should be. The
trouble IN the first instance must
be with the homes and the mothers.
whose daughters come out of them
dressed like women of the d-light
districts. 1t must be confessed
that women are not exalting the
standard of virtue by following
always the follies and foibles Of
fashion prescribed by those who
have no thought of the conquest of
righteousness over immortality and
wrong, and no high concept of
w0manhood.

had demanded of him for his sup
port and passage of the bill, assur-
ing him that we" meaning Bilbo
and others, would put the measure
through. He had insisted all along
that Bilbo should come into confer
ence with him and Hobbs, SO that
ne would have the word of more
than one man that he would get
his moneys worth in the way of
legislation; he had never been able
to get Bilbo to one of the confer
ences, though he had told Hobbs
time and again he would not do
business without him (Bilbo) and
though Hobbs had assured him just
as often that it made no difference
about Bilbo being present. as he
was his friend and would do what
ever he promised he would do for
his sake.
Witness told of how he had met
Hobbs by appointment at Vicks-
burg and had taken him to a room
IN the National Park Hotel, a room
that had been wired and was ready
for them. After talking about an
hour during which he said Hobbs
repeatedly asked for the money and
he declared he was ready to pay it
whenever Bilbo came into the
meeting. Hobbs told him, he said.
he was hard up and wanted $500 on
account. and he finally paid him
500. getting the money from the
manager of the hotel. who saw him
pay it to Hobbs in the hallway.
Castleman stated he had later
paid Hobbs another 500 at Jack
son. on the street, and told Of the
two meetings held in the Royal
Hotel, Dec. Is and Jan. 80. Hobbs
came to time again. but Bilbo
failed to show up. and the 1000
was not paid over as Hobbs insisted.
Mr.. CastIeman was cross-ques-
toned at length by Judge Pat
Henry for the defense, but his first
statements were adhered to.

Mr.. Castleman was interrupted
frequently during this narration.
and the jury was sent from the
room several times in order that
law points raised by the defense
might be threshed out. before the
court.
OBJECTIONS FREQUENT.
1t had been elected by the State,
on demand of the defense, to 60 on
trial on that countln the indict-
ment charging the defendant with
soliciting bribe, wherefore every
suggestion that he had accepted a
brlbe, or that Hobbs had accepted
a bribe, was subject for objection
and ruling by the court. 1t was
held that the acceptance of a bribe
by Hobbs at the National Park
Hotel in Vicksburg, as alleged by
Castleman, was part Of the story
and could be told. The witness
being instructed to give the jury
an account Of his dealings with
Senator Hobbs, followed his Vicks-
burg narrative and beginning with
his coming to Jackson during the
legislative session of 1912 to press
a bill for the creation of Delta
county. He did not meet Hobbs
then, nor until October 1912, when
they began negotiations. he said.
