Washington, Aug. Hon. E
s. Gambler, member of Congress,
First Mississippi District, and
candidate for reelection, issued
the following signed statement
here today:

fourth-class office and under civil
service. Present postmaster was
appointed Jan. 2S, 1908, by republi-
cans. Mr.. Gambler had nothing to
do with his appointment or reten-
tion in Office. 1t is impossible for
Gambler to have postmaster re-
moved nor under the rules of civil
service can I remove him except on
charges of incompetency, neglect
of duty or misconduct duly proved.
Such charges must be made by
patrons of office. No such charges
were made until very recently and
are being investigated. Repre-
sentative Gambler deserves we'll of
his constituents and is no wise re-
sponsible for this appointment or
the postmaster's retention.

FROM THE PEOPLE

To the Christian People of Macon and
surrounding country:
We have just closed what proved to
be, IN The judgment of many, the
greatest revival ever held in our town.
The victory was because of the earnest
cooperation of all the people, of all
the churches and of their preachers,
the Lord helping us, and for this CO.
operative service | desire to express
my heartfelt thanks
Or. Jones and his people were faith
full and earnest. Our Baptist friends
joined US in the true spirit of the
Master so did our Episcopal friends.
Bro, Holland ard his people of the cir
cult were always with us, serving the
Lord most faithfully. 1t is with the
greatest appreciation that / labor
with Bro Holland for | regard him as
one of the most promising young men
of the North Mississippi Conference.
His spirit is that of meekness. His
zeal surpasses his strength. His
capacity will yield the finest results.
Our people of the circuit are indeed
fortunate in having him for their
pastor and my prayer is that they will
be loyal to him in their sapport and CO.
operation.
Bro. Lagrone is a great preacher
and Bro. Robinson fine director Of
song, and we shall long remember
them with sense of the deepest
gratitude.
The Beacon has been kind to Us, for
its editor has given us all the space we
asked in spirit deserving of the
greatest appreciation.
Again thanking everybody for their
most earnest cooperative services for

WHY JUSTICE SMITH SHOULD Be RETAINED
A Strong Argument in Favor of His Reeleetiss
to the Supreme Bench

z 10 TO say the least regretable that
so little public interest Is manifested
in the approaching primary election
for the nomination of Supreme Court
Judges. Ne election for public office
is of greater Importance 70 the people
than this, to my view II is the most
important. The,Supreme Court, as its
very name implies, Is the tribunal for
the ultimate and final determination
of legal rights, in dispute, arising un-
der the Constitution and laws OF the
State. its decisions being final in all
but a limited and well defined class of
cases where the Federal Constitution
and laws are involved 1t is the trl-
bunal for the final and ultimate con
structiOn and Interpretation or all
State laws. It reviews, and deter
mines, the validity and constitutional
fly Of legislative enactments, and dc.
fines the powers and duties Of all pub.
lie officers from the Governor down,
when these are brought into question.
II reviews the judgments and DEGREES
Of all inferior courts, except IN a very
limited and unimportant class Of cases,
It must be seem then, how impor-
tant and far.roachine Is the matter Of
selecting a man to fill the exalted po-
sition Of supreme Judge II IS a mat
ter in which every citizen should feel
the deepest interest, as It intimately
affects us all. While legal learning
and training are essential qualifica-
tions for this high and important posi-
ton. they are by no means the only
ones. a man may possess thorough
knowledge of legal rules and princi-
pies, may be a powerful and success
ful advocate and practitioner and yet
be utterly unfit for Judge; he must
possess a judicial temperament; In
addition to this he must possess both
moral and intellectual integrity; with
out these all the learning and wisdom
| of the sages Of the law could not fin
him for the place; he would be but "as
sounding brass and tinkling cymbal.'
| In addition TO all this, he must possess
patience and the capacity and willing
ness to work and an mate sense OF JUS
| tice, unclouded and unbiased by any
pride Of opinion or mere personal
views or prejudices as to what the
law should be. His duty is to say
what it Is.
On the 18th Of this month, the voters
of the First Supreme Court district vii
determine whether Chief Justice SmitH
shall be retained on the bench. Tho
question then for each voter to ask J,
is there any reason for change
I have looked carefully into this mat
ter and have not heard one suggested
But there are many reasons why there
should be no change. Judge Smitl
possesses to an eminent degree III
qualifications have mentioned above
AS to legal learning and training sine
his admission to the bar, he has bee
devoted to his profession, giving to i
his undivided allegiance. After prac
ticing for some time, he was sent t,
