UNJUST AND UNFAIR TO STEPHENS.

Our attention has been drawn to the efforts of certain Missis
sippi newspapers to prejudice the voters against the candidacy
of Hubert D. Stephens because his father, who was a membe
of the legislature during the c%arpetbag regime, voted for
negro.
Judge Stephens, who is still living, and who has been ire
quently honored by his neighbors and friends, Jqstihes ms
action during the dark days of reconstruction by declaring tna'
he was privileged to vote either for a Mississippi negro or a
Kansas carpetbagger, and that he chose the negro as the
"lesser of the two evils"
His Judgment might have been good. Personally, we be-
!ieve that, under the circumstances, we should have preferred
the record to show us present and not voting"
But this is aside from the subject.
The historical incident above mentioned occurred two years
before Hubert D. Stephens, present aspirant for United States
Senator, was born. In this country we are accustomed to
Judge a man by his own achievements-just as men will be
Judged in the day of the Final Reckoning-and we submit
that ii UNFAIR AND UNJUST to urge the deeds or misdeeds
of the father against the ambitions and aspirations of the son.
The Daily Leader is not supporting Hubert D. Stephens for
limited States Senator. We have no advice to offer the voters
of Mississippi further than to weigh carefully the merits of the
respective candidates and elect the one who promises to &C.
complish most for the public good; But we believe the voters
of the commonwealth will resent this effort to injure the cause
of one of the candidates by bringing into the campaign matter
regarding which he had nothing whatever to do.
Hubert D. Stephens represented his district many years in
the lower house of Congress and retired of his own accord.
His character as a man and as a public official is above re-
proach. These are things the voters should know before max
ing up their minds as to whom they will send to Washington
as the successor of John Sharp Williams-Laure Daily Leader

SAYS TELEPHONE COMPANY "MUCH IN EARNEST"

"The Cumberland Telephone and Telegraph Co. is evident
ly very much in earnest in its desire for a rate increase, having
again brought the matter before the railroad commission. ms
time the matter ought to be settled by persons who have an IN IN
teligent understanding of business conditions and not by poll
ticianS."
The above is from the Jackson Daily News OF June IL. we
quite agree with our friend Sullens that the Cumberland
Telephone and Telegraph Company is very much IN earnest.
The aforesaid Company was "evidenty very much IN earn
est when the matter was up before, for the reason that every
thing goes to show that it fixed" one of the railroad commls-
sioners, and that the fixing was so perfectly done that some
of the lawyers for the Telephone Company got the president
of the railroad commission in a hotel at jackson, and IN con,
junction with him prepared the order allowing an increase OF
rates before the Commission met. When the public got so not
on the trail of this railroad commissioner, he resigned rather
than have a legislative investigation and run the risk OF nm
parchment. That's the sort of deal the Telephone Company
tried to put over the Mississippi public: The said president OF
the railroad commission was a politician"
After this railroad commissioner resigned and the plot was
at least partially exposed, the Telephone Company Withdrew
it's request for an increase in rates. Now 1t comes with another
request. !.
Yes, we quite agree with the Daily News that the present
demands for an increase of rates should be passed upon Dy
those having "an intelligent understanding OF business condl-
TONS" And when that is done we cannot believe that the
Telephone Company will be allowed to increase It's prices When
else is headed downward in prices and when there
is a universal demand for at least approximate pre-war prices

Daily report is read from different parts Of this and adjoin-
ing states that 1.-THE bond issue wins" This means that there
has been a contest about the issuance for the many purposes for
which people wish to burden themselves-and others. Senator
Plumb, of Kansas, took the comfortable view that one genera
ton hands down so much to the next that it can afford to be
liberal with debts the present imposes on pOSterity-whichm may
or may not be providenlal. It's not always a case of congratu-
lation when a bond issue wins" 1t is the same thing for a
community as an indvidal who induces a bank to accept his
promissory note-he wins; but if an inquirer should go to the
bankers convention and take a poll of the bankers, who know
about bond issues and note-issues, they would learn what hap
pens to the man who issues promissory notes too freely. Such
a mans destiny is the bankrupt court. This is not intended to
discourage the issuing of bonds by governments, states, counties
and municipalities, nor notes by firms, corporations and individ-
uals, in cases of necessity and strictly business requirements.
Such issues are but meeting universal demands; but the public
who are merely many individuals, would do well to look a bond
issue in the face with some courage, hard sense and self-denial
because the b~ondholder will look them in the FACET he can
meet them face to face at maturty-some time, somewhere, at
some place. Every sO-caled progressive idea does not call for a
bond issue especially before the idea is mature and ready to,

OUR NEICHBoR, HON. DENNIS MERPHREE.

Grenada County has a friend and neighbor in the person of
Hon. Dennis Murphree, of Calhoun County, who is a candidate
for Lieutenant Governor. Mr.. Murphree has had an extended
legislative experience. He has neither been blindly a '1OW
pressure" nor has he shown a foolish and blind optimism as to
high pressue." He has been sanely discreet and usually cor
rect. He is fair-minded. He has the ability and the experience
to serve the State wisely as 1t. Governor, and truly can it be
said of him that his private life is clean and that his public rec
ord is free from faint or corruption.
The following is a part of the resolutions of the recent meet
ing of the Mississippi Press Association as to Mr.. Murphree:
while we know that his usual modesty would prompt him
to ask that nothing referring to him be adopted by the Press AS
ISOLATION, nevertheless we feel that we would be unmindful Of
a duty and would be wanting in appreciation did we not say to
our friend and brother, Hon. Dennis Murphree, of Calhoun
County, that we view with pride his splendid legislative record.
He was alert, active and potential in all things for the general
welfare of the State and gave all matters urged upon him by
the Press careful consideration and that attention they deserved.
His record as a legislator is one that reflects honor upon the
people who chose him and give great satisfaction to his brethren
of the Press and we are pleased to note that he is regarded as
one of the very abest legislators the State has had for many

THE CAREFUL CROSSING CAMPAIGN.

A few days ago we were handed a copy Of the latest issue of
the Illinois Central Magazine by Sid Law, one of the most popu-
lar engineers on this division of the Illinois Central System, in
which is stressed the importance of the general public assisting
the railroads IN the carrying out of the careful crossing cam
pagn which is now on. Some startling figures are given to show
the number of crossing accidents in the last few years. No one
who has stopped, looked and listened" has ever been known
to have been struck by g train on a railroad crossing and if this
rule is always observed, these accidents can be eliminated en-
trely.
The Illinois Central is vaging an extensive campaign at
present to bring to the attention of the public the Importance
of "cIOssing crossings carefully" which we hope will meet with
hearty response on the part of everyone.

In course of an address at Laurel the other day, Miss Belle
kearney did not mince matters in referring to Maj. Vardaman,
one OF her opponents for the U. S. Senate. She was more con-
sIderate in speaking of Mr.. Stephens, her other opponent, who
she said was tall and handsome and a man of splendid char
acter," though she said he voted against woman suffrage. Con-
corning Maj. Vardaman, she aid
For six years he misrepresented the people of Mississippi in
the United States Senate. When the world was at war and civil
lization was at stake, the record shows that his vote was record
ed against ten important war measures" and that he tried to
hinder and hamper the President at every opportunity. "When
he was not trying to prevent America from winning the war"
she said, he was voting with the Republicans" thus proving
himself a traitor to his country and his party.
A few days after the sinking of the Lusitania, the speaker
said she met Senator Vardaman in the corridors of the capitol
at Washington. This, remember, was when every redblooded
was crying for vengeance against the nation which
had deliberately sent hundreds of innocent women and children
to watery graves, but Vardaman could see no cause for COM

many? What has Germany done to Newt Record.

Zeke Hasker is the authority for the statement that the peO-
pie on Tussle ridge as well as those Of Castle hollow believe that
shadows are growing longer and thinner. Zeke says that he
saw one of his neighbours COWS leaning up against a fence cor
ner the other night and that the cows shadow was longer and
far thinner than the COW and the COW was so thin that a mustard
plaster applied on one side would burn the other side. He does
not know whether Harding's inactivity, a protective tariff, the
League of Nations or the Farm bloc are responsible for these
strange things but he says that he does know that there are
more phenomena now that were ever Matched by the latest hen

In its issue Of last week our neighbor, The Grenada Sentinel.
announces that it has passed its SEVENTEEN mile post.
In those seventy years it has seen the passing of sixteen
presidents of this nation, three great wars and the 60 smaller
ones in which our army and navy were from time to time en-
gagged throughout that period.
1t saw its fair city almost depopulated by the yellow fever
outbreak of 1878, if memory is correct and it has lived to see
medical science detect the cause Of that dread disease in the
mosquito and the disease stamped out from almost every
corner of the earth. 1t has seen the horse drawn vehicle dis
placed by motor car and the air machine now on the verge of
disputing that supremacy.
A long and honorable career! To o. F. Lawrence, it's very
able editor who has been guiding it's destinies since 1905, we ex-
tend congratulations and our best wishes for its next 70 years.

"The Grenada Sentinel, one of the best papers in
the state, has just passed its 10th year of usefulness in
the journalistic field. Hon. o. F. Lawrence, its present
owner, has successfully guided it since 1905. The
Sentinel and its owner are both about the same age
and we hope they may travel the road of life for 70
more years and enjoy the richest blessings on earth"
We appreciate the above compliment from our good friend
and neighbor, Walker Wood, of the Winona Times, but candor
cOmpels us to say that Walker is so used to measuring things in
terms of good whiskey that whenever he thinks of anything be-
ing real good, age is among the first thing that comes to his
mind.

QUITE GENEROUSLY COMMENDED.

Our editorial of last week relative to the inadvisability of
issuing SIS, 000.0 more in bonds for the purpose of securing
additional funds for the proposed high school building has been
generously commended. The commentator has not come
from those who are sometimes unwitingly referred to as tight
wads," but from men who can be relied upon to endorse every
sane movement for the best welfare of the community. The
commendation has come from bankers, merchants and pro-
fessionaT men as we'll as others. 1t is always pleasing to re-
ceive the commentator of any of ones friends.
