That was not a very pretty
story Senator Clarke, of Arkan-
sas, told his colleagues last week
of the bolt of the seven Demo-
cratic senators against the ad-
illustrations ship purchase bill.
Declaring that it was the whole
story. here is the report Of the
Associated Press Of what he
said:
Senator Clarke said he had
heard Senator Vardaman had a
plan on foot Ito kill the bill"
and that he had conferred with
Vardaman saying he desired to
have itrecommitted, that the leg
islative hiatus might be ended to
take up the rivers and harbors
appropriations and the rural cred
it's bill. A short time after. Sem
ator Clarke said. he was invited
to attend a conference in Sena-
tor Bankhead's office, where he
found six other insurgents, and
after some discussion it was
agreed that they should make an
effort to recommit the bill. It
was then suggested that Senator
Weeks, Republican, be sent for.
Mr.. Weeks Joined the Demo-
Gratis and was informed Of the sit
uation. He said he did not know
what the Republicans were will
ing to do. Personally he PREFER
ed that the bill be kept before
the senate with daily adjourn
ments. Senator Weeks went to
the Republicans. however, and
put up the proposition, returning
later to say his colleagues would
support a motion to recommit."
That's all there was to it, con-
cluded Senator Clarke.
Analysed. the statement says
that the plan was:
To kill the bill-a bill strongly
favored by the Democratic Pres
ident and by the Democratic par
ty in congress:
That there was a caucus held,
called a conference" in order
to kill the bill,
That to this caucus in Senator
Bankhead's Office, a Republican
was summoned to advice how to
proceed;
That the Republican came and
advised the seven Democrats as
to what course to pursue;
That the Republican came a
second time, bring assurance
that his colleagues would well
come the Democrats help in kill
ing the bill, and would adopt their
plan of doing the deed.
That's all there was to it,"
concludes Senator Clarke, the
leader in this exploit.
Now, as a plain piece of knit
ing, how does it look to Demo-

MississlppFs Faalt Finding
Senator.

It Is to be regretted-indeed
the BEACON thinksit'is a calamity
that in the discussion of the
grave problems before congress
which furnish a statesman's OBJ
portunity, Mississippi's junior u.
S. senator is usually to be found
on the wrong side Of such ques-
lions.
Instead of holding his place In
the limelight by the value of his
services to his people, as did his
illustrious predecessors, Lamar
and George and Walthall, and
looking to his individual and Of
fetal merit for his political status
as they did, we finds him less con-
spic uous for the originality.
strength and value of his thought
than for his long hair and the
foul mouth he employs to belittle
and besmirch the rank and file
the party leaders and the party
majority-of the party to which
he claims to belong-the party
which has honored him, time and
again, far beyond his merit, and
which in decency and common
honesty. he ought to champion
and defend with all-the-time zeal
and loyalty.
In none of the great measures
advocated by Mr.. Wilson and the
majority of the Democrats in
congress has Senator Vardaman
stood with the President and the
party majority.
Nor is that all.
When he has differed from them
he has not done so respectfully,
but, on the contrary, has express
ed himself as to them, their mot
ives and actions in terms harsh
and coarse, if not mean and mali
cious, and wholly undeserved.
He was against them on the
most important questions that
came before them, and no one,
not even the dirtiest slanderer
and Democrat hating partisan in
the Republican party, has gone
to such lengths to vent his spleen
and air his spite against the Dem
ocratic majority and the Presi-
dent as is the case with Senator
Vardaman.
Unable to meet argument with
argument, and unwilling to meet
his Democratic fellows in fair de-
bate, he has kept himself in the
public eye nationwide, by the
meanness and the malice he has
betrayed in the indulgence of the
indecorous and ungenteel critic
isms he has heaped upon those
from whom he differed.
And this he has done, in the
press and out of the press, in sea-
son and out of season, until he
would long since have exhausted
his vocabulary of abuse and cpl
thets had he been a less vindic-
tive man, and less close student
OF the English language to find
words to define his egoism and
express his hate.

VOTER,

To the Editor of the Beacon:
We see in last weeks issue of the
BEACON, people from various parts of
the county calling upon different per-
sons to announce for Office, we desire
to call attention to three names, whom
we think would make a great race in
the persons of Mr.. James w. jenkins.
of Shuqualak; Mr.. Ed Stuart, of Calyx;
and MIR. Benz. Whitefeld, of Hashu-
qua.
We think it is time to send others be-
sides lawyers to the legislature. Mr..
Jenkins has been before the people in a
former race. He is we'll known and
needs no introduction from us. These
others, if they will but come out, they
too will soon be as well known. Come
out friends, don't wait too late.

FROM THE PEOPLE.


Editor of the Beacon:
Please allow me space in your pape,
to call upon that old soldier and most
excellent christian gentleman, Walter
j. Hubbard. of Shuqualak, to announce
himself for the senate. We feel sure
that he could be elected.
Mr.. Hubbard's record during the
time he was member of the legisla.
ture was above reproach. He, at all
times standing for the right. He is a
self-made man, and capable of appre-
chatting the working class position.
We need man that will do and not
promise as some of our past represent
atives have done.
We know Mr.. Hubberd's business
sense and executive ability must be too
well know to need any comment what
ever. Mr.. Hubbard come out; his
friends wish him to do so.
Yours truly,
VOTER.

Some Chickens and Eees.

Morristown, Tenn, Feb. 4-The
opportunities for building up the
poultry industry throughout the
south are we'll illustrated in what
has been accomplished in the ter
ritory surrounding Marristown,
Tenn, from which 1850 miles Of
eggs were shipped during 1914.
The records of the Southern
Railway company show a total Of
1876 solid cars shipped during the
year. These contained total OF
100, 900 cases of 46, 800, 900 eggs.
Adding the shipments made in
mixed cars and by express and
parcel post, it is estimated that
the total production from the Nor
ristown district exceeded 50,000,-
900 eggs, worth at the average re-
tail price, more than 81, $4,000
If laid end to end in a straight
line these eggs would cover dis
lance of 1, $50 miles, or the dis
lance from Morristown to the
Panama Canal.
175 cars of live poultry, So cars
of dressed fowls and a large num-
Der of small lots sent by freight
and express were shipped during
the year, the total of solid cars of
poultry and eggs being 553. The
total value of poultry products
shipped from the district during
1914 is well over the $4,000, 900
record of 1918.

An Ounce of Preventive Is
Worth a Ton of Cure

1t is said that the sword of Dam
ocles was suspended above the
head of that tyrant with but q
single thread.
Every man, woman and child
ought to think well of the lesson
taught by this example.
The fire demon is the sword OF
destruction that ever hangs above
the heads of the people. If you
knew that by the mere shipping
of a thread all that you had saw
ed would be wiped out, wouldn't
you ever be on the alert to see
that the thread was not shipped ?
More property is destroyed by
fire than by all other destroying
elements combined.
Storms come with the seasons,
and warning Of their coming is
generally given. Winds reach a
destructive velocity at but rare
intervals and floods follow expect
ed courses.
But fires are catholic in their
field. They visit the just and the
unjust and everywhere there is
food for the fire demon he finds
his victuals.
Be on the watch tower of your
own home all the time. He fat
tens on your own folly. You can
prevent his paying you a visit if
you but will.

Sneezing in Public Places.

It would seem that sneez;ng in
public, as we'll as in our homes,
is so common an offense, and so
frequently INDUCED in without
the safeguard of the protecting
handkerchief, that no one feels
called upon to utter protest.
Society, individually and gener-
ally, is altogether too tolerant of
these vulgar, shameless and ig-
norant people. To add insult to
injury, they not only fail to pro-
tect the face, but sneezers must
prolong the explosion. Such per-
sons should be taught, if it be
possible, that such vulgar habits
are exceedingly dangerous to 9TH

So long as the Hyde Park Bank is
conducted along those lines of abso-
lutte safety which characterized its
management since its organization in
1889, SO long may we expect to see
that bank maintain healthy and SUBJ
tantial growth because Vermonters will
take justifable pride in maintaining
this pre-eminence of Vermont in the
banking world by making it their
depositary.
The Hyde Park Bank will pay de-
positors all that it believes it can pay
consistent with absolute safety. 1t
does not try to increase its rate to de-
positors by investing in localities which
will pay 7 per cent or 8 per cent, and
even more, because it believes that
high rates of interest usually mean
questionable strength and doubtful
security.
The Hyde Park Bank pays 4 per
cent compounded semi-annually and
pays all taxes.
1t is perfectly safe to send money to
this bank by mail, fact proven by its
experience since its organization, for
