The People are Com
petent to Judge.

Justice Charles E. Hughes has
taken up many columns in the
newspapers denouncing President
Wilson, for his foreign policies, for
his handling Of local problems, and
for the conduct Of his office in gen.
eral.
Candidate Hughes forgets that
the people of the United States are
fully competent to judge the actions
of the president and they will do so
regardless of what he and his chief
lieutenant, T. Roosevelt, has to say.
Candidates Hughes has not him
self felt enough interest in the con-
duct Of the American government
in the past six years to vote; It is
doubtful if he has even paid poll
tax or secured a registration certifi-
cate. Yet this candidate, blossoms
out in all his irridescence to criti-
else the Observation-Disclosures
Times.

1t is saidrthat Florida alone has
recently shipped about ten thousand
negroes to the North, ostensiblp to
work, but many fear that the ne
groes will be voted in the Presiden-
tial election in the doubtful states.
We do not intend to do the negro
voter injustice, but it is a known
fact that he can be voted for the
money. If these negroes who are
being carried to the North are vo-
ted and change the majority in any
doubtful state, it will be too late to
raise a howl after the election has
been stolen for we have had it de-
monstrated that stolen election
cannot be gotten back Tilden, for
instance there was little doubt
Of what was done against Bryan in
the states of Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio, the doubtful" border, where
one election is said to be better pay
than three crops.

The sad intelligence comes from
Memphis that mister Eddie H
Crump, the dehorned Mayor of the
Bluff City and present Trustee Of
Shelby county, will scratch the
name Of Tom Rye in the November
election. We take it for granted
that Hillary Howse, over in Nash
vile, another dehorned mayor, will
also mutilate the name of Rye on
the election ballot. If Tom had
never won anything else except the
opposition Of Crump and Howse
that alone would entitle him to a
feather in his cap. Memphis has a
local option ticket for the legislature
and a negro Republican headquar-
tiers, both Of which are splitting "pi-
zen but the Rye majority is expect
ed to be something like ten thousand.

Federal Veterans of
Civil War Aroused.

Veterans of the Civil War have
been quick to call the turn" on Re-
publican Candidates Hughes for at
tempting, as one expressed It
to throw a lump Of sugar" to the
old soldiers. His speech in Dayton,
Ohio, has particularly aroused the
ire of veterans, one of whom writes:
we, knowing that a bill for a
state pension was to be before the
Legislature of New York, and think
ing that Gov. Hughes was a true
friend to us, voted for him almost
to man. But he proved false to
us, and vetoed the bill, after it had
passed both houses"
A soldiers widow, writing to a
New Jersey paper, says:
1T does seem strange that an in
crease in our pensions has been
granted to us by a Democratic Con-
gress and a Democratic president.
1t was under the administration Of
Cleveland, on March 10, 1885, that
we received the SIP pension. And
now, under the Ashbrook bill
while Mr.. Wilson is president, we
have received So per month more.
God bless such big hearted men and
may Mr.. Wilson be reelected"

A report of the Hooper speech at
Huntingdon last Friday night, in
the Nashville Banner, says that the
former Governor did not mention
the names of either Hughes or
Rhodes. This is in keeping with
the general understanding that Mr..
Rhodes while having the Republl-
can nomination for Congress is not
making a Republican canvass. Gov.
Hooper is appealing for Independent
Democratic votes knowing that his
only chance Of election depended on
his ability to get men to vote for
him for the Senate, who supported
him in his other races. But
Governor Hooper does not explain
that every man who supports him
for the Senate endorses the Repub-
lican position on the tariff question
something which no Democrat
who stands on principle can afford
to do. The truth of the business is
that those who reap the harvest of
money from the Republican 0
called protection" to American la
Dor, are just about as INSCRIPTIONS
as those who gather in the liquor
money-the brewers and distillers.

WHEN PANE BREAKS.

Archie Gates, one of the best known
conductors of the Mississippi Central
Railroad, is at his home in Natchez to-
day in serious condition as a result
Of having been struck by broken glass
when one of the windows of coach
was broken at Roxie, recently.
The conductor was standing on the
ground alongside his train, when the
smash came. Flying glass went in all
directions. A piece struck the conduc-
tor on one leg, severing large artery.
He was hurried to Natchez for treat
ment, but lost so much blood before
the artery could be tied that his con
EDITION is said to be precarious.
