my juGs s.lenr, VIII advance The inter.
ests of Mississippi and her citizenship,
as well as the interests of the nation
as a whole.
The acts Of the Democratic admins
tration run through a period of eight
years, and on several matters of i'm.
portance disagreed with President
Wilson. ! made no effort to conceal
that, and have no disposition TO deny
II now,
Wilson Greatest Character.
But these were honest differences
OF opinion. They were not prompted
by passion or prejudice or personal ha.
tired. They did not cause me to mis-
represent, maiign and yilify President
Wilson. They did not blind me to the
greatness Of the man. nor to the many
achievements of his administration,
He is only human and like all men, he
has made mistakes. But with all his
mistakes he still stands out as one Of
the nrs.atast characters of the nation,
In point Of intellect he towers above
any Of II s severe critics as the noun
tain range towers above the mole-hill.
and his brilliance outshines theirs like
the sun outshines the almost burned
out tallow candle. His record is writ
ten. He is now private citizen and,
broken in health, he is taking no part
In public affairs. Why is it that some
men spend all their time and energy
in diatribes of abuse and denunciation
of him? Why Go they entertain
thoughts of him too vulgar or profane
to be uttered in the presence of ladies2
Why is it that they are unable to raise
their eyes toward and help restore the
waste places in the nation, and have
no eyes except for the past? Is it be-
cause their hearts are full of hate and
,he machinery of their minds has been
trained only to criticism and denun-
citation.
Must Have Cooperation.
No state can reach it's highest and
best estate without the constant and
active cooperation of its citizens. I'M
less the best citizens are on the alert,
there will be no progress. There is
work for us all. Let the old men bring
their wisdom and experience and the
Young men with fresh learning and
manly strength, and vie with one an
other in their earnestness and deyo-
ton; let the women join hands with
them, and the nations sorrow and ig-
norance and hardships will soon melt
into a dawn of brightness and peace.
If we shall display the same reso-
lutte determination, indomitable will,
nvincible fortitude, enthusiastic pa
triotism, answering loyalty, deep
seated conviction Of right, and rever-
ence for sacred things, that our faith.

the enemies of our government will be

Hattiesburg, Miss.-Hubert d. Steph-
ems, candidate for U. 8. Senator to sue
eeed Senator John Sharp Williams,
was greeted by an enthusiastic crowd
at the county court house recently,
where he addressed his audience ON
subjects Of good government and the
progress Of the state of Mississippi
and the nation.
The crowd remained intact and thor
oughly attentive and interested
throughout, and the applause received
by Mr.. Stephens was enthusiastic and
spontaneous.
He decried the brand of politics
which has been practiced in Missis-
sippi for the last few years, and laid
at les door much of the evil which con-
fronts the state at this time.
There is no reason, the candidate
said, why decency in running for Of
flee should not be demanded in can
didate. He also declared that clean
liness in holding office should be de-
manded Of politicians. These state
ments were productive of much ap-
plause.
He talked on the large party lines
which control the politics of this coun-
try, and said these lines should be
held to. He had no use, he declared,
for Democrat who carried his per-
sonal animosities beyond the party
lines, and declared that If such poll
tician could not confine his fights with
in party ranks, he should seek other
affiliations.
Mr.. Stephens said in part:
In my campaign for the Senate
shall not indulge in personal abuse
of any one. The times are porten.
tous; there are grave problems
awaiting solution that require and
demand the best efforts OF our in
tellects, unweakened by thoughts
that draw the energies of our minds
away from those problems, and to
engage In campaign filled with
abuse and vituperation at such a
critical time. is not only contempti-
BILE, but 1t is most unpatriotic. Our
state has been sorely cursed by cam
paigns that are remembered only for
their bitterness and the heritage of
prejudice and hate they left in the
minds and hearts Of the people. Their
evil and disastrous effects are with
us even today.
Nor shall / in this campaign at
tempt to arouse class feeling or class
prejudice. The candidate who would
do that is not true friend of the peo.
pie, because the man who would for
any reason uproot the bonds Of love,
sympathy, good feeling and good fell
lowship In family-and we are all
members of the same household, all
Mississippians--is an enemy of society
and lacking In reverence for the high
er and better things OF life Prejudice
is the foe Of reason; 1t is the harbin-
ger Of hate; 1t makes one mentally
color-blind to facts; 1t makes beauty
appear l0athsome, honesty look like
dishonesty, virtue like vice, strength
like weakness: 1t eats into the very
vitals and never fails to destroy him
who harbors 1t: 1t mildews the soul
and eurdles the milk OF human kind
The Neshoba Democrat., 1922-03-23

ness. Therefore, repeat, one who
seeks to arouse such vile passions is
an enemy of society. The people OF
Mississippi, trust and believe, are
sick and disgusted with such methods
OF campaigning, and feel sure they
VIII express, in no uncertain manner,
their strong disapproval of such politi.
cal conduct as they have witnessed In
the rast.

Mr.. Fordney said:

The attack of Comptroller Cris-
singer apparently has failed thus
far to change the program OF Re-
publican House leaders In any re-
spect. Representative Mondell, Re-
publican leader OF the House, de-
ciared that Mr.. Crissinger had shed
no new light on the situation. Mr..
Mondell seemed to believe that the
bill in its present form furnishes
the most satisfactory solution Of
the bonus problem that has yet
been presented. He Indicated that
the bill would be passed in the
House under a suspension of the
rules on Monday. March 20. as has
been planned.
The statement of Mr.. Crissinger
has not changed the situation"

Despite word from st. Augustine
on the Presidents attitude, House
leaders persisted In their belif that
the President would not veto the
bill IL 1t were passed by both
chambers and put before him.

VIENNA INSISTING
ON SAFETY GATES

VIENNA, Va, March 10.-At the
last meeting of the town council
the question of compelling the
Washington Virginia and the
Dominion Railway
to place safety gates across the pike
at Maple avenue was considered.
The roads contended that they
were not obliged by law to maintain
these gates. and the question was
deferred to the meeting which will
be held Monday next in order that
the Vienna authorities may consult
legal authorities as to their powers.
