.VARDAMAN, OF
MISSISSIPPI
"StalWart Southerner
Fronts Majority in the
Tranquil Courage Of
His Convictions"


Editorial from New York
American, August Both, 1919
BY JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES.
washington, August 20.
"There is not a slncerer man
in the Senate chamber nor a
sweeter-spirited gentleman than
Vardaman. of Mississippi.
"He is in the far minority at
this time, and fiocks with the
few who are willing to be un.
popular for conscience sake. But
there is something that gathers
increasing res pect in the tranquil
courage with which Vardaman
fronts the majority-and the gal
leries-in his UNIQUE stionably
genuine convictions against the
war and his prompt and un-
sverving advocacy of any policy
hat looks to the re, establishment
OF peace.
There is no taint Of personal
cowardice or personal disloyalty
in this attitude. There are few
braver men than Vardaman, 1t
is not known in the Senate nor
elsewhere. but promptly after
the declaration of April z he went
to Secretary Baker, and asked to
be allowed to go home and raise
a regiment of gallant sMlssisslp-
plans to lay down. their lives at
the feet of the Government.
But the Secretary told him
the Government was not raising
soldiers under volunteer plan
Vardaman's young son is whole
heartedly in the war with his
fathers consent, having won his
commission as a reserve officer
by really heroic efforts Of prep
aratiOn.
when it is all over, the coun.
try is going to view in differ
ent light this stalwart MISSISSIPPI
plan who has been ready to 60 to
the stake with his convictions.
Such a man is worth much to
any constituency in an age when
so many men are willing to sell
the truth to serve the hour.
II am not with Vardaman in
his views. all my pledges of life
and hope are clad in khaki and
and at the front. and | would be
there, too, if the gathering
years did not bar me the privi-
lege of standing with my sons.
But / know this Mississippi Sem
ator and [ know that he is of the
stuff of men and heroes aud am
willing to trust him anywhere.
James K. Vardaman has been
Speaker of the Mississlppl House
of Representatives, Governor of
his State and for four years a
Senator of the United States.
He has enriched the Congress
ional records with speeches OF
classic eloquence and patriotism.
He is a Democrat inherently
and fought for free speech and
free thought for all men which
he demands for himself.
"And he is surely coming back
to the Senate from Mississippi"

THE YOUNG SOLDIER
BY Katherine lyman

SINCE you are so young, child. shall
Not fear your noon or even fall,
Nor dread you are taken unawares.
Nor weary Heaven with many prayers.
I shall not wake at night afraid
OF where your darling head is laid.
Nor say: 'He finds the wind too rough,
Dear Godw for now the winds left of.
shall have ease though lightnings leap,
Nor hear the thunder in my sleep,
Nor dread the crying Of the seas,
Nor any mountain precipice.
God pity her who lies awake
Unquiet for some darling's sake!
Soft sleep my little son tonight
Where many stars make candlelight!
His sword is laid beside his knees;
God knows my little son hath ease
And I, his mother, may go to sleep
And pray for them who wake and weep.

BANKRUPT owes
S5S,OOO;ASSETS
TOTAL ONLY $500

What Is declared to be the largest
action of its kind TO be brought before
federal court in the last several years
is the petition for adjudication In
bankruptcy which has been filed by
D. J. Winslow, whose liabilities. &C
cording to the petition, amount to
$58,S41.50, while his assets total 800
represented by household furniture
The petition shows that unsecured
claims amount TO S5s,491.50, and &C.
commodation paper to $3.50.
One Of the peculiarities Of the pc
tition is that apparently none Of the
liabilities exist In Honolulu, all debts
having been contracted on the main
land. Among the states mentioned in
which the petitioner has liabilities are
Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Idaho
Oregon, New York, Massachusetts, and
Pennsylvania. Many Of the liabilities
the petition shows, represent cash
loaned on notes. supplies and merchan
disc. The largest separate liability
was. contracted in Boston, Mass, in
1907, and is for cash on notes in the
sum Of $1s,4S0. The next largest was
contracted in Milwaukee and Chicago
in 1907, and represents cash on notes
in the sum Of $16, 200. ~
Another outstanding feature Of the
petition is that 80 liabilities were con.
tracted in 1907, 10 years ago. and total
