THE RUSSELL ADMINISTRATION

IL has been the fixed policy and
purpose OF The. Post to stand for
what IN our Judgement, is for the
best interests OF the people OF Missis-
sippi. We have at all times, advocat-
ed law and order.
We take pride in reciting the fact
that we supported Hon. John M.
Stone, not only In his campaign for
the Goyernorship, and subsequently
believing that James X. Vardaman
was not given a square deal by the
secret caucus legislature and that
those who were responsible for his
defeat should not triumph, we sup
ported Senator Vardaman. 1t was
the right thing to do.
The Post has not hesitated tosup-
port cause 1t deemed right, even II
1t happened to be locally unpopular,
Tor even though such espousal meant
loss OF business to this paper. as has
often been the case.
During the last campaign for the
governorship The Post carefully con-
sidered the candidates In the field
and came to the conclusion that
Hon. Oscar Johnston was best fit
ted to serve in that very important
office.
Bilbo had conducted the office In a
partisan manner and inasmuch as
he and Russell were the closest pals
and their minds ran In the same
channel The Post believed that
should Russell be elected as chief ex-
ecutiye OF Mississippi another parti-
san administration would follow.
Events that have happened up to
the present have amply proven this.
Governor Russell has been mixed up
In a lot of narrow little squabbles in
which he has always sided In par
tfsan manner. His abuse OF the par
doning power In a number OF fla
grant cases. his fight on the insur-
ance companies of the state, his
feeling shown In the Goldsby matter
and his desire to help his political
associates in this notorious case are
Just some samples of how the gov
ernorship is being conducted atpres-
ent.
! More than ever now we feel 1t in-
cuinbent upon us as duty to the
people OF this State, that we should
oppose the present State administra-
tioI. We are firmly of the opinion
that it does not represent the best
interests OF the State, and that the
people should rise up in their might
and retire the members OF that ad-
minfstration at the very earliest mo-
inent. TO that end we are commit
ting our very best efforts.

system OF rotation OF cotton and
corn, all consumed on the farm and
marketed as dairy products, would
quickly build up the fertility of the
exhausted lands. Then q reasonable
acreage could be planted to cotton
from which a larger yield per acre
could be obtained at a reduced price
per pound. The question oi low mar

solved.

WHY SHOULD DEFENSIVE
ARMAMEN EMIT" BE NEEDED
(Tampa Times.)

There is phase of Mr.. Secretary Hughes
plan for the limitation of naval ornaments which
: seems to have escaped the notice of the parties
most concerned, unless indeed it placed in
the plan to fool the people, sort of smoke screen
to obscure its real purpose We refer to that fea-
ture of the scheme which limits the permitted
armament to defensive purposes" Suppose the
three nations of the world which possess often
sive ornaments and the only ones which have
been engaged in the mad race for supremacy,
adopt this limitation, and carry it out honestly
and conscientiously What will be the result?
How long will it take the people to realize the
utter foolishness of maintaining even a "dafen-
sive' armament against enemy that does not,
and cannot exist. of straw that the rul-
ers have cOnjured up to justify their constant
calls for money. defensive armament? De-
fensive against whom and against what? With
the great naval powers of the world joined in
an agreement not to maintain navy for Of
fensive purposes whence come any danger
to any of the three? They may be supposed
to have honor enough to keep a contract they
have freely entered into. Even if one of them
should endeavor surreptousy to evade the con-
tract and increase its navy beyond the allotted
limits the others would very quickly find it out
and compel obedience
whence can come any offensive move that will
make a defensive armament necessary? Will it
come from SPAIN Switzerland, or Sweden or
Norway? The idea is ridiculous. The one nation
that accustomed to stage ofensives and
thought it was its peculiar privilege to supervise
the affairs of all its neighbors, Germany is now
as harmless as any sucking dove. With some
sort of a statute of limitations maintained with
out equivocaton evasion for ten years we be-
leve the people will see the folly of even a de-
fensive armament and will reduce it to the d.
mansions and powers of moderate police force
For more than 100 years have maintained no
defensive armament against Canada and have
never seen the necessity of any such device Diff
ferences have been many but they have all been
settled peacefully, and never has a gun been
>fired, or a soldier crossed the line from either
side. Canada has been careful not to infringe
upon rights and we have respected hers
When that system prevails in Europe and the
Far East, defensive ornaments" will not be
needed, and heavy burden can be lifted from
the people.
