Sage Vardar1an viii Be Beaten.


Harden Brooks, of Meridian, Miss,
a former member of the Mississippi
Legislature and an ex-district attor-
ney of this State, who has been TAX
ing treatment at the Meriwether Hos
pital for the past three weeks, does
not believe that Senator Vardaman
will be returned to the Senate. Mr..
Brooks is a typical Mississippian and
to-day he talked very interestingly
and emphatically of Mississippi poll
tics and of the senatorial race now
being staged there.
YES" he said to a Times re-
porter, Il am personally acquainted
with the three candidates for the Sen
ate-Ex-Governor Noel, Harrison and
Vardaman-and you may rest as
sured that Vardaman will not be re-
turned to the Senate from MISSISSIPPI
pi. The people of Mississippi have
humored vardaman's vagarIes ana
his whims in the past a great deal,
He ran for the ~governorship of the
State in 1904 on the unconstitutional
proposition of separating the school
fund as between the races and was
elected and never made the slightest
effort to bring the measure into eff
feet. At the conclusion of his term
as governor he ran for the United
States Senate against John Sharp
Williams, Vardaman advocating the
repeal of the 14th amendment and
the modification of the 15th-some-
thing which every %Southerner would
approve and favor, but every one
realizes it cant be done. He was de-
feated.
"Senator McLaurin died in 1909 and
Vardaman and others were candidates
before the Legislature, which met in
January, 1910. Senator Leroy Percy
an elegant gentleman and profound
lawyer, was elected.
Again a false issue was raised rel.
alive to the regularity of Percy's cleo
ton and in the primary which fol.
lowed Vardaman was elected. The
people of Mississippi, as / have said
naturally resent Vardaman's stand
against President Wilson. They re.
sent the fact that they have a mar
representing them who is putting
them in a false attitude as not want
ing to stand by the government. They
resent his action in voting agains'
the ship purchase bill, because should
the government have had ships a.
that time millions of dollars for tn,
farmers of Mississippi would have
been saved. They resent his saying
publicly that conscriptions and con
victions were analogous terms. Ever,

A Queetion OF Loyalty.

Our esteemed Junior Senator,
who was never known to deal in
personalities, in his speech at
Amory and elsewhere, referred
to his distinguished opponent,
Congressman Harrison as a man
whose brain is a barren waste
of sterile mentality
Commenting upon this mild and
gentle assertion of the senator's,
MIR. Harrison in his speech at Ma
gee Saturday night reulied:
IF the Senator was right
in his estimate of my mental
faculties thank God my heart
has been 100 percent. Amer
ican."
And herein is the supreme is
sue of this campaign.
1t is not a question of mentality,
tho. assuredly Mr.. Harrison has
nothing to fear should such a test
be made between his intellectual
powers and those of our unas-
suming junior senator. Mr.. Har-
rison's record in congress. the es-
teen in which he is held by the
leaders of the Nation-not the
LaFollette crowd, thank heaven
his genuine loyalty to his party,
his datriotic devotion to his coun.
try at all times, have given him
a place in the hearts of all those
who believe that this is a righte-
GUS war and not merely e mat
ter Of pecuniary profit that no
man whose mentality is sterile or
whose mental powers are not
thoroughly alert and acute could
ever hold.
Butit is not aquestion Of men
tally. In this great crisis in our
national life it is primarily a mat
ter of Loyalty to country, and Var
daman has been neither loyal in
his actions and in his utterances
to the country whose freedom of
action and of speech he has
abused, nor to the party whose
honor he has so unworthily worn
and whose welfare he has held in
such light esteem. Facts are
facts and the record will not
lie."
For no one whose mentality is
not sterile can honestly deny that
this war in which our nation is
engaged is the mightiest contest
between autocracy and pemocra-
cy-between tyranny and free
dom. that this world in all its
bloody history has ever known.
And no man who could stand up-
on the floor of our national Senate
and declare
'TWe hare WdY Wih Germdnp
UW be after Germdnp has
made e0eTD possible cOnceS-
sion TO dDOid il
has a sufficiently fertile mentality
to represent Mississippi in any
capacity whatsoever.
And no man could say, in a
carefully prepared newspaper in
terview more than four months
after war was declared by his
own government against the most
damnable ~autocracy that ever
cursed the earth, that Il haze al
maps thought that the Ddr Was
pureU matter of pecunidrD pro-
I'll, and I THINK so STILL,
should insult the truly loyal and
devotedly patriotic people of a
great state by swapgeringly af-
firming his pseudo-patriotism and
having the national anthem sung
at his political pow-wows.

Making the

Telephone tablets or pads may be
bought ready TO cover ~ any station

OF just a flap Of some pretty coloret

TO hang the tablet by the telephone.
and should. of course, have a pencii
attached.
For many uses in fine needlework
the best scissors are not embroidery
scissors at all, but long, slender ones:
with curvins ends. With them one
can cut smoothly the fine threads
and yet run 10 risk of going beyond
a certain line Of threads and running
a bit Of work on which YOU have put
hours OF careful attention. while for
cutting the linen away from worked
scallops there is nothing equal to
them. Oddly enough. the proper way
to use them is with the outer curve
toward the embroidery. not with the
curve following that OF the scaliop
The latter is far too much of a risk,
as the keen little tips will easily cut
further than one expects.

After Marriage.

There is something decidedly
wrong about the home when a woman
ceases to be particular about her ap
pearance after marriage In too many
instances the fault lies not altogether
with the wife, but with the husband
himself, who is also the first to de.
plore any such deterioration. Ii he
would look to himself before blaming
his wife, he would probably find that
he had ceased TO pay her the little
attentions Of which he was so lavish
before marriage. that he gave TO bus
mess the time he used to spend 50
pleasantly in her company, and that
he was growing penurious, fond OF
exhorting her to be economical, and
in many ways making things harder
than need be for his wife. 1t is no
wonder that the life OF many married
women becomes sordid and miserable
under such circumstances, and that
instead Of being ennobed and
strengthened with each passing year
by their mutual love, husband and
wife drift ever farther apart, until
they regard each other with indiffer-
ence, if not with dislike.

For the Housewife.

Copper articles that have become
discolored can be made to look new
again by rubbing them with lemon
dipped in salt and afterward rinsing
in clear hot water and polishing with
a soft cloth.
Aluminium cooking utensils are q
delight until they turn dark inside
then they are an abomination. 1t Is
easy, however, to keep them bright.
Either wash them in soda and water
or boil tomato parings In them; cut
tings from rhubasb and the water il
was washed in alone will often do
the work. So will lemon and table
salt.
All the little dried pieces OF cheese
should be grated and put in a covered
glass jar These cheese crumbs are
excellent for many made over dishes
and are particularly good with starchy
foods, such as potatoes, macaroni etc.
Very tasty crackers can be made by
spreading this grated cheese on
crackers seasoning them and then
putting them in the oven for a few
Uinutes.

SOME SOCIAL oBSERVANCES,
The Call.


The common ordinary call is a ming.
ling of. pleasure and duty--of pleasure
when We are referring to 1t in the
hresence of the one called upon, and
OF duty when We are talking to our.
selves. 1t lies at the root of all so
cial impulses. 1t is the foundation
stone of society. The lamentations Of
Mrs. Noah have not been recorded,
but We know how badly she must have
felt after that little freshet that took
place some paltry centuries ago, to
think there was one left to send out
cards to. Mrs Noah, 30 to speak, had
10 raise her own callers, and then she
was too old to enjoy calling as it
ought to be enjoyed. When Mrs.
Shem or Mrs. Japhet dropped in and
remarked how pretty the artificial
flowers in the glass case in the parlor
were, and whether they were picked
fresh that morning, Mrs. Noah no
doubt had not the youthful vein of sar.
casm TO reply In way that would
show her caller the measure of her
appreciation of something which she
knew was intended to make her I'M
comfortable.
Since Mrs. Noah's time, women have
gone on making calls more or less fire.
quently, and men have avoided them,
with much the same logged persist
ence that has marked a Columbus or a
Carlyle.
A mans idea about making a call
Is that it is one of the best and finest
and most desirable and easiest things
not to do; and he believes this
good deal more than he does religion
Or politics. The proposition in logic
that all men are not callers, Jones Is
not caller. therefore Jones is man,
is fundamental axiom, and no one
but woman would ever think OF con-
tradicting it, The only time when the
average man takes a genuine pleasure
In call is when he holds four aces.
The average woman, on the other
hand, is a caller by nature, tempera-
ment, tradition, premeditated design
and inclination. She not only calls to
show what she herself has on, but al.
so to find out II what the other woman
has on is any better-thus killing two
birds with one stone. The ordinary
call Is also to her a social training
school, whereby she learns to talk with
out thinking, II is easier to talk with
out thinking when one Is in crowd,
all doing the same thing, but one Is
apt to become self.conscious where
there is only one other listening, and
this in itself is good practice.
A call Is not properly a call when
there are more than two participants.
II then becomes community OF in
ilpiency and Is on the edge OF being
function.
Among women, the common or or
binary call is complete when two
women meet for twenty minutes to
decide (1) which one has the better
clothes; (2) which one has the better
husband; and (3) which one has the
better servant. II is then time 70 20.
