GOV. BILBO DEFEATED

Vardaman is responsible for Bilboisis, in .Mississippi-or Bilbo is chargeable with Nardaman, for it was due largely to the efforts of each that the other was foisted on the people of the statv a few years ago, when Vardaman posed as the vicarious sufferer at the hands of what he called the secret caucus" that made senator out of LeRoy Percy, and when Bilbo played detective and raised the cry of persecution. To cut a long story short the governor has been candidate for Congress in Harrison'a $ district, but he seems to be down and out and as dead politically as any man could want him or Vardaman to be. Full and complete returns from the district have not been officially reported, but Judge Paul Johnson leads with votes 10 spare, if not enough to elect on the first primary, and on the second round Will down the governor for sure The govern or does not admit anything of the kind believing that he will fall heir to the votes given Bowers in the first primary and is keeping up the fight.
 Meantime, the majority of the intelli- gent people of the state are congratulat- ing themselves that they are forever rid of two of tue most dangerous and hearti- ly despisef officials who evea pulled on public teat.

ISSUE A PROCLAMATION

Governor Bilbo and Superintendent of Education Bond have joined in a proc lamation to the people of the state Tn which they urge parents to keep their sons and daughters in schools and col, leges. They argue that in this crisis of the country it behooves all of them 10 give their children the best in the way of education that is to be had, and q strong educational drive is now under way. The presidents of all the colleges of the state, male and female, assembled at Jackson this week, on call of Chan cellor Powers of the university, who acted oa suggestion from the United States department of education, and per manent organization was had under the name of the Mississippi Association Of Colleges Presidents. The slogan is 70 r. college and the heads of the several in stitutions of learning are touring the state. seeing all high school graduates in an effort to induce them to attend one or the other of the colleges. The girls are to be trained along business and industrial lines.

LOOKING UP ILLITERATES

The Mississippi illiteracy commission. composed of several of the foremost edu- cators and lhilanthropists in the state, held a meeting here day or two since, and had the pleasure of talk from Dr. Legg, social and educational director at Camp Shelby. pr. Legg gave some very interesting statistics as to illiteracy among the troops at the camp, statins that Kentucky troops had so far. showss the greatest percentage, but Mississippi was fourth with, fraction over 13 per cent. Arkansas was second and Alabama third These illiterates are taken in hand the day of their arrival. and in three days are fanght to sign their names; in three weeks they can write a letter to their mother. and in 10 weeks they are suffi cfnetiy '.educated" to read the news papers and all written general orders.

SEVERAL COUNTY EXHIBITS

J. E. Ruff, district agent for soutf Mississippi in farm extension work, has just returned from a visit to President J. T. Thomas of the Grenada bank, an institution that has 15 subsidiaries in a, many counties, and reports that .dr Thomas has arranged to send nine coun- ty exhibits to the state fair. He gives $25O to each county provided the board of supervisors gives an equal amount, and nine countries have agreed to that arrangement The agent in home eco- monies and farm demonstrator for each county are now busily engaged in collect ing material for these exhibits, getting the best of all kinds of agricultural prod ucts that are to be had. In addition, there are F other counties that have made arrangements for exhibits at the fair. and the prospect is that competi- tion for the valuable prizes on individual county exhibits will be keen and assure the fair of the largest collection of farm products ever seen in the state. The railroads will haul these exhibits one way free of charge

]. CONTINUE TO KILL TICKS

The first of last January the federal quarantine on Mississippi cattle was raised and they were open to sale in the markets of the world, but Dr. J. A. Barger, inspector in charge of tick erad- ication work, continues to dip, it being found that there are 3s5 herds still in fested to some extent and not permitted to run at large. During July 626, ,9i1 head of cattle were dipped, and 6lF6 vats were in operation. In "A of the S2 coun ties there was not tick and no dip- ping was required.

HIMSELF TO BLAME

Senator Nardaman has nobody but him self to blame for his repudiation. Had he Ereturned to Mississippi in a good hunor iand made a decent campaign on high ground, he would have stood chance for reelection, but instead of that he jumped into the fray as mad as wet hen, pecking and scra tching at every thing in sight, insulting his opponents and every man who refused to continue to follow him blindly against the demo- cratic administration at Washington. There is no doubt that his speech at Amory, one of the first he made in his swing around the circle. lost him at least lo00o votes. His assertion that those opposing him would scuttle the ship of state or traffic in the virtue of their own families to encompass his defeat, was an insult to the most humble sup porter of Pat Harrison, and was promptly resented. Many others quit him after the publication of President Wilson's letter, stating that to re-elect Senator Varda- man would be considered "condemna- ton of his administration" The cam paign thereupon became fight to finish between the democratic president of the United States and Vardarnan, the longtime idol of the great majority of the citizens of Mississippi, and who. in his desperation tried to make the people of the state believe that this first Presi- dent from the south in more than So years was a New Jersey Yankee. But that camouflage did not work, and proved boomerang instead of a vote getter-pulling a 1911 majority of 26,oo0 down to minority of 12,0O0.
 Back of all this was Nardamans rec ord for the past three or four years, and his opponents did not fail to pull it on him and to use it with telling effect on every stump. Nituperation and abuse were not at all necessary with audiences
 
 was not resorted to by either MT. liar risor or Governor Noel. They simply showed by the Congressional Record that Vardaman had taken advantage of every opportunity to annoy and harass the President and to diseredit his admins tra ton in a way that must have delighted the Kaiser

The cost of everything which goes into the making of newspaper has increased enormously that slight increase in the price of the finished product to the subscriber will no doubt, be universally approved right and just

Williams will hardly be able to resist or withstand the importunities of his friends to once more use his club. In the event MT. Williams should persist in his re- fIsal to stand for reelection, another Moses will be found to leads the demo- cratic hosts out of the Vardaman wilder ness for what would be the third time. Close and worshipping friends at the Nardaman shrine have been heard to say since this last upheaval and Harrison landslide that Nardamans sun has set, and that he will never be able to come back
