GOV. BILBO ISSUES STATEMENT
Clearly and Concisely Presents
Essential Facts and Conditions
Involved in the C0ahorna
County Controversy.

Urged by his friends to reply
to some criticisms of his actions
in relation to the Coahoma coun-
ty incident, which criticism
seemed to be based upon a mis-
apprehension of his attitude to-
wards that controversy, as. well
as a misunderstanding of the
Governors official duty in the
exigency there presented, Gov
ernor Bilb0 has given out the fol-
lowing statement:
THE GOVERNORS STATEMENT.
The following statement was
obtained from Governor Bilbo
yesterday. The Governor has
been urged by his friends to say
something about the matter and
his statement will be read with
interest:
What is the use of trying to
confuse the question presented
in the Coahoma incident by irrel-
evant and misleading discuss
ions? That question presents
exactly two propositions, viz:
t'First-Was it the Governors
duty to remove Sheriff Baugh?
"Second-Was it right to en-
ploy the militia in the discharge
of that duty?
Section 2387 of the Code of
1906 reads as follows:
1.-The Governor shall have the
power, and it is his duty, to sus-
pend defaulting State and coun-
ty treasurers and defaulting tax
collectors pending the investiga-
ton of their respective accounts,
and to make temporary appoint
ments of proper persons to fill
the Offices while such investiga-
tons are being made"
Sheriff and Tax Collector
Baugh was charged. with being
in default to the State in his ac-
counts in certain sums of money;
it was not only alleged that he
was in default, but the struth of
the charge was practically ad-
mitted by him, when he made
good certain part of the short
age This admission of guilt,
however, was not necessary to
compel the action of the Gov
ernor; the statute clearly says
that it is the duty of the Govern
or to suspend a tax collector
against whom such shortage is
alleged. It is not optional with
the Governor whether he shall
do chat or not. The statute is
mandatory; it reads that it is
the duty Of the Governor to
suspend such officer, etc, and
THE Executive was compelled to
suspend M. Raugh under that
statute or violate his oath Of
Office to execute the laws of
Mississippi. Accordingly the or
der of suspension was issued and
duly served upon Mr.. Baugh, j.
H. Fisher being named to take
charge of the office of sheriff and
tax collector, until the truth of
the charges against Baugh could
be investigated and determined.
Baugh refused to obey this Ex-
ecutive order; he refused to turn
over the office to Fisher; he de-
fed the Executive authority.
What was the Governor to do?
The civil authority Of the State.
speaking according to law, un-
der the plain mandate of the
statute, was resisted, defied and
fouted by an alleged defaulter.
who in effect, thus declared him
self superior to the law. What,
then, was the Governor to do?

all. It is an address meant for pub lie consumption rather than a diplo- matic document Standing by itself, the new pledge also appears to be Q compliance with our demands. Un- fortunately it has a string tied to it. We have required of Germany that her present methods of submarine att tack shall be abandoned. And they must be, even at the cost of a, sever- ance of diplomatic relations.
 New York World.
 All that part of the German reply tween Germany and the United States to break a British blockade that Ger many herself cannot break is impos- sible. It is unthinkable. To grant it would put a, stain on the honor of the United States that could never be erased
 What Germany has yielded shc must yield in obedience to law, not for the expected benefits of barter. That and that alone must be the American at titude. Immediate abandonment' is what the President demanded, and 'imme ediate abandonment it must be, without condition and without qunlifi- cation.
 New York Sun.
 The note had to be written not only as a reply to a specific demand of the American GOVernme but also with a view to the satisfaction of national pride and a very 1Nactiug sentiment at home.
 The tone is manifestly intended for Berlin; the substance for WashingtOn. The Administration may well concen- trate it's attention upon the essential fact, and that fact is that an immeas- urable and apparently imminent calamity has by Gcrmany's act been averted with out the Obliteration of a single bright band in the spectrum of this Republics honor.
 New York Herald.
 There are two things that he (President Wilson, can do. One is to sever diplomatic relations with Ger many immediately. The tone If the note in itself would be justification for that. On tho other hand hc eau sit down and wait. He will not have to wait long. There is no way GaIe ot the
New Britain herald., 1916-05-06

difficulties of the United States with Germany except through Germany abandoning it's illegal use of the sub- marine. This it will not do. The break seems bound to come in tho very nature of things. It would per haps be better to have it come now.
 New York Tribune.
 MT. Wilson can do but one thing. He must break off relations with the Imperial German Government without delay and without hesitation. The re- call of Gerard, the dispatch of Bern stOrf to his own cOuntry-these are the things that we can no longer post pOne. They arc the least that can be done; they may well be but the be- ginning-but they must be done.
 New York American.
 We are bound to admit that all this (tho terms of the German note) seems to us to be reasonable on the part of Germany and essential to our own honesty, sincerity, and self-re- speCt.
 As we said the other day, the home ly prOVerb that what is sauce for the German goose must be sauce for the British gander applies exactly to the situation.
 Germany has yielded to our Ge- mandS.
 Now make England obey interna- tional law and respect our rights.
 Any other course will COnVlct Us in the eyes of the world of maintaining a sham neutrality.
 Any other course will put us in the wrong and put Germany in tho right. Any other course will be q square denial Of fair play.
 New York Press.
 As long as Germany lives up to her new order to submarine commanders, this Government will have what
New Britain herald., 1916-05-06

President Wilson has demanded But if or when the German Govern ment does change it's order to sub- marine commanders, or does permit them to violate the order indi5crm inately and wantonly, then there will be nothing left for President Wilson to do but to end relations with the German Government-to snap them off without barley or delay.
 Journal of Commerce.
 Again it depends upon what is done in the other and wholly different case of Great Britain. If we will make her behave Germany will promise to behave At least it will he facing a new situation in which it must reserve for itself complete liberty of decision" This means that it has reached no de ciSiOn now. It has, in fact, made no answer to the American note. Trero is no declaration of abandon ment Will there be the "effeCt'

 The United States demanded the cSta bliShment of a, certain status quo. Germany has established it. How long she can or will maintain it is another question. But for the tune being we are left nothing to complain of.

 1t is gratifying to find in the note, despite it's superfuities and its irrelevant verbiage, what appears to be a sincere disposition to meet the wishes of this country and to avoid a rupture of friendly relations. This desire must be recognized as, after all, the important element in the note, and it is earnestly to be hoped that it will serve as a, basis for q, com plete understanding.
 Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.
 Today Germany yields, but with a pertinent reminder that Great Britain must do the same. It remains for America to require that England shall abandon her unlawful blocllada practices.
 Philadelphia Press.
 The German note is temporizing and inconclusive, but will probably halt for the present at least, the expressed intention of the administration to break off diplomatic relations with that government.
 Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.
 Continued discussion with Germany along the lines projected in this note and identical with those of the con- troversy to date is intOlerable to American sentiment. There would Dc ample warrant in it's insolence for President Wilson if he should deem the note an unsatisfactory answer and summarily end diplomatic relations.
