The old anti-Vardaman papers have
overdone themselves in denouncing
Senator Vardaman because of his re-
fusal to sign statement certifying
that he desired the passage of the
resolution authorizing the President
to arm merchant ships, etc. Thev
make lot of statements which are
untrue and not worth noticing.
Vardaman is classed with the immor-
tai twelve who are said to have killed
the bill.
These twelve are Clapp of Mime
sofa, Gronna Of North Dakota, Cum
minis and Kenyon of Iowa, La Fol
lette of Wisconsin, Norris of Nebras
ka, Weeks of California, Kirby of
Arkansas, Lane of Oregon, O'Gor-
man of New York, Stone of Missouri
and Vardaman of Mississippi. With
the exception of Stone and O'Gor-
man these are all independent pro-
gressive Senators, and represent the
very pick of the Senate, both in
ability and honesty. While Varda-
man Is. not properly classed as one
who killed the resolution, he is in
mighty good company when listed as
above, and enjoys a distinction of
which he should be proud.
AS matter of fact Vardaman had
nothing to do with the filibuster, if
there was one, and both he and Sen
ator Stone stated that they were will
ing for the matter to come to a vote.

off the filibuster stunt during the clos

1t is exceedingly probable that
Vardaman is obsessed by the belief
that he has such a strong hold on the
voters of Mississippi that nothing he
can do will cause them to desert him. !
1t may be, however, that he is reck-
oning without his host, as the fate of
Sulzer in Ne wYork, Bailey in Texas
and countless other politicians shows
that the people won't stand for |
treachery, and are not slow to rebuke
those who betray them. The action
of the senator in circumventing the
will of President Wilson has undoubt-

Senator Vardaman objects to be-
ing classed as one of the men who
prevented the armed ship bill from
coming to a vote in the Senate. We
don't blame the Senator for object
ing and we think his objection is well
taken and he took no part in the fill
buster that defeated the bill. But
the Senator is like old dog Tray; he
was in bad company in this instance
and this was not the only time. Many
people judge many by the company
they find him in and our advice to
the Senator is if he does not like the
classification he is put in is to get
out of that company and get in line
