Vicksburg, Miss, Aug. IA new
form of mob violence has broken
out in this city This differs from
the other in that the spirit of these
promoters of social unrest and dis
order are determined to strike down
the professional and independent men
and women of our Race in the South.
They shield their hand in their ne
farious work by claiming patriotic al
legiance and when they find a man or
woman of our Race who speak out
of the best conscience in the defense
of their people and in defense of law
and order and stability of government
as against violence, mob rule and ra-
pine, these people are called disloyal
by this new band of so-called pa
triots. As evidence of their unholy
activities( it is only necessary to re-
cite one particular instance in which
DR.. J. H. Miller, well known and repu-
table citizen of this city, was accused
by the mob of disloyalty and was Civ
en- certain length of time which,
of course, consisted of a day, to close
up his business affairs, his medical
practice and all that he had in his
lifetime accumulated-he was told to
close it up and leave the city, and
these people who gave him this in
struction claim to represent law and
order. And how was this citizen who
had spent his life through every man
ly effort to build up the city Of Vicks-
burg, treated by this mob? Stripped
of his Globes, tarred and feathered
from head to foot and sent out of the
city. This was done by white men,
who are supposed to represent law
and order. The real facts concern
ing DIR. Miller is that his loyalty and
patriotism to his country has never
been questioned, that he had lived up
to the highest ideals of patriotism is
evidenced by the fact that he had in
his possession at the time of his
attack by the savage mob an appre-
ciable amount of United States Lib
erty Bonds and Thrift Stamps.
1t is said by those who understand
the pulse of this new movement that

are briefly stated without ostenta-
tion or useless excursions into literary
fields, and are singularly free from all
appearance of political bias.
He was a member of the Constitu-
tutional Convention and served with
distinction in that body. Among
other important measures introduced
and advocated by him was resolution
No. 4, providing for the initiative and
referendum, and although the com
mittee changed this resolution some
what in phraseology, and in some par
ticulars added there to, yet it served
as a basis of the resolution after
wards introduced by. the committee
providing for the iniative and referen-
dunn, as it now stands in the con-
stitution
Judge Baker has filled many other
places Of public trust with fidelity and
ability. He was member of the 18th
Legislative Assembly. He served as
Assistant u S. District Attorney for
one term and District Attorney of
Maricopa county for three terms He
has been president of the State Bar
Association and at the present time
is "a member Of the State Board of Law
Examiners, which conducts the ex-
animation of applicants for admis-
sion to the bar.
AS lawyer his standing is exceed
ingly high. His learning in the law,
coupled with a rigid impartiality in
the formation of his opinions, his
freedom from any kind of prejudice,
social or political, his unflagging in
dustry, and his frankness and fear
lessness in the public duty. eminently
qualities him for the high position of
Judge of the Supreme Court.
He has appeared as counsel for one
side or the other in large number of
the most important cases tried in the
state for nearly forty years. When
the liquor interests backed by an ar
ray of the best legal talent in the
state, attacked the prohibition amend
ment as unconstitutional and sought
ITO enjoin its enforcement, Judge Bak-
er, associated with the attorney gen.
eral appeared before the Federal Court
in California in defense of the law.
The court refused to enjoin the en-
forcement of the amendment, and it
remained intact and unimpaired until
the opinion of the Supreme Court of
the state was handed. down, permitting
the introduction of liquor into the
\ state for personal use.
! Judge Baker is a firm Democrat.
| However, he has never suffered his
political views to effect him in the dis
charge of public duty The Judge
has been greatly interested in work
for the Red Cross and urging the pur-
chase of Liberty Bonds. His addresses
in behalf of these causes have been
imbued with spirit of fervid patriot
ism. and have been extremely helpful.
His two sons, Alexander and Robert,
are in the United States Army, serv-
ing their country, of which fact he is
justly proud. --Advt.
