The above from The Ripley Sentinel of June I, is repro
duced as a matter of Justice to ourselves, yet with some degree
of reluctance. We say with reluctance for the reason that
we think local issues. political contests among our own people,
girdling up her loins to fight a foreign foe; This is a time in
who would stand for turning the Eagle loose and would tell him
to soar and soar. Why, we could even feel comfortable stand
ing shoulder to shoulder with Jeems and betting the German
war lord while upholding the honor and dignity of the Ameri
namesake, should not toss upon his pillow and see harikari to
the political fortunes of his snow ball senator every time he sees

We respectfully demur tosfriend7 Anderson's statement tina,
some weeks ago" we were stalking" our reputation as a pc
htical prognosticator on the statement that T. !. sisson woule
be a candidate for the US. Senate against V~ardaman." i
there was ever a line in The Sentinel to that effect, then we will
bow out of the class who have refused to swallow Vardamar
and will endeavor, as best we can, to do like some others, ane
confess that we shall never have thought which vardamar
any proposition which we think will take care of his politica

placed Mr.. Sisson in the same political boat with vardamal
candidacy and lent him no encouragement Personally we ar
very fond of Mr.: Sisson but we believe that if he ever hopes t.
reach the United States Senate that this is his time. Especially
do we think this true for the reason that he was credited witt
flirting with the race for the senate last yearin opposition t.
Williams and again this year in opposition to Vardaman.
1t will be observed that our Ripley contemporary quote
approvingly what PAT Harrison said in the last presidential
campaign about war. We dare say that Mr.. Harrison believe
now every word he uttered then, and that were conditions nov
what they were then, that he would resay what he then said
But our friend Anderson, true to Vardaman symptomania, doe
not realize that the world is moving and that what might hav
been wise in 1916 would be very unwise in 1917. Our RIPPLE
Brother fails to diferentiate being forced into war and rushin,
into war. Mr.. Harrison's speech. like the speeches of the Dem
I 0crats throughout the country. was delivered in answer to tn
Republican argument that the President should rush pell mel
I INTO war. 1t will be recalled that President Wilson in one o
his speeches made during the c%ampaign'a Cincinnati, said
( There can never be another world wide war without. this coun
l. try being dragged into it." When the President made tina
! declaration he knew then how dangerously near we were tn
