THE FIFTH DISTRICT
RACE. 4.

Hon. Ross Collins, former At
torney General, is a candidate far
Congress over in the fifth dis
trict, now represented by Hon.
Webb Vena BILE.
1t is the privilege of Mr.. Col
Inns, or anybody else. to run for
Congress whenever he.or they see
fit. A sincere ambition to be q
servant of the people is at all
times laudable.
In this instance, however, it is
gravely to be doubted whether 1t
would be wise for the voters OF
the fifth district to swap Venable
for Collins.
The fact that the latter has the
enthusiastic support OF James K,
Vardaman, who 10 thirsty for
political revenge, is alone sufii-
cient 20 damn him in the minds
of thousands of voters. AS q gen.
eral proposition in Mississippi
politics it is good judgment to op-
pose any person whom Vardaman
favors. ~ q
Getting right down to the merits
of the case, however, there is NO
reason whatever why Congress.
man Venable should be retired
to private life in favor OF q new
man
MIR. Venable has made splen-
did record IN Congress. He en-
joys a high standing among his
colleagues, and has reached the
! point in his public career where
he wields considerable influence.
He is o member of the powerful
committee on naval affairs, one
IF the most important commit
tees of the House, and for sever
al years has made thorough and
painstaking study of the needs
of our navy.
One of the smallest things on
earth is new Congressman at
w ashington. IL usually takes
from four to six years to discover
that he is q member of the body.
He is known only to mis- private
secretary and the keeper of his
boarding house. Not even the
Speaker of the House is aware OF
bis existence, and during his first
term he is lucky ii he succeeds
in making the acquaintance of
the doorkeepers.
At this critical stage in nation
al affairs it is unwise, TO say the
least of it, 10 engage in political
exIeriments. To substitute

PROFESSORS WIFE. MYSTERY PATIENT
 AT AN ASYLUM

New Haven, Jan. 2S-Friends of Dr. William B. Bailey. professor of practical philanthropy at Yale, and widely known authority on social economics, were astonished by the news from Hartford yesterday that the mystery patient at the Muni- cipal Hospital in that city, who had refused to say anything about her identity, had been identified as Mrs. Bailey, wife of the professor.
 The identification was made by AL bert H. Barclay, an attorney and Yale graduate of the city, who is counsel for Mrs. Bailey. She was found to be suffering from a serious form of insanity, according to the Hartford authorities, and has been confined in the Hartford Retreat for the Insane.
 The Baileys were married in Syra- cuse in 1905. Mrs. Bailey was Sheila Mackenzie Jewett. The couple have ten year old daughter, who resides with the professor here. More than year ago, according to friends of the family, Mrs. Bailey left home. She took rooms near the Yale Cam pus. Some months ago Mrs. Bailey was understood to have gone to live with friends in the West
 The Professors friends declare he has repeatedly made efforts to have her return to her home without re- suit, and when she disappeared some time ago he made insistent efforts to find her.
 Mrs. Bailey appeared En Hartford early in December. She obtained en- ployment in the department store sof Wise, Smith & Co.,, where she worked for a period under an assumed name. She took rooms with a family of working people, who knew her as Claver Danielson of St. Paul, Minn. She gave no intimation apparently ot | her identity until she reached the hos. | pita1, when an investigation resulted in word reacAing her attorney. Mr. l Barclay arranged for her confin ensnt l in the Hartford Retreat
