Postmaster O'Rear
Goes To Washington

Postmaster Prentice O'Rear has
gone to Washington, d. c., on official
business. He will return to Columbus
tomorrow or the next day. During
his absence, the business of the office
/ is being carefully and efficiently look
ed after by Assistant Postmaster
Julian Gardner.
After the news had been flashed
Tower the country that Mr.. O'Rear had
been appointed acting postmaster
here, move was put on foot by his
opponents to prevent him from be-
ing postmaster-in-fact for four
year period. 1t was charged that he
was not a citizen of Columbus, but
lived in the country across the river
from Columbus, and received his mail
through the Artesia postoffice. There
was absolutely no truth in the claim,
and Mr.. O'Rear had no trouble in
securing a couple of dozen affidavits
from reputable citizens of Columbus
who have known that, while he did
live in the country, he has been count
ed citizen of Columbus since 1914.
Mr.. O'Rear, during the six weeks
he has been postmaster of Columbus,
has shown ability and energy and a
spirit of cooperation that mark him
as the man for the place If our post
master is to be a republican, for
goodness sake let him be a Southern
republican. Mr.. O'Rear is a Ken
tuckian; he comes from one of the
best families in the Blue Grass State;
he is young, aggressive and progress
sive; he suits better than any repub-
lican we know for the place. Let him
keep 1t.

PHOTOGRAPHERS HOME

Mr.. f. N. Hanna and Mr.. 0. l.
Pruitt, high-class art photographers
have returned to their respective
studios from Atlanta, Ca, where they
went last week to attend the annual
convention of the Southern Photogra-
piers Association. Both of these
gentlemen, as they sojourned in the
east, received more light on the sub
ject of photography, and will no doubt
make our folks look more attractive
than ever when they have their
beauty struck"

"TOAT PHAIRE" THINKS WE
WERE PARTIAL TO MIR.
KUYKENDALL
NOT INTENTIONAL
The Dispatch Honestly Aims To
Be Fair And Just To All
Citizen of
Columbus.

The following communication, re
ceived yesterday morning, is printed
to show that, no matter how hard ar
editor may try to be absolutely fan
and impartial, there will be some peo.
pie who will misconstrue his language
and his meaning.
"Toat Phaire" claims we were par
tial to Mr.. Kuykendall. Another
friend called at the office on Monday
and charged us with having shown
partiality to Mayor Glover. OF
course we are not worried over either
view, because we know we were absol-
utely neutral and impartial in what
was printed with the pictures of the
two candidates for mayor in Sunday s
Dispatch. However, we respect the
views Of our readers and want to re-
tain their good will whenever it is
possible to do so without sacrificing
a principle In the mayoralty contest
it is simply a matter of choice be-
tween two reputable citizens, both of
them loyal Columbiahs. The only
principle involved, that we can see,
is the time-honored Democratic GUS
tom of rewarding a faithful office
holder with a second (endorsement)
term.
The letter from "Toat Phaire" is
as follows:
The MayOralty Race.
Columbus, Miss,
February Z, 1922.
Editor The Dispatch:
My Dear Sir: Because of the fact
that your paper has always been not
ed for it's fairness and justice to ev-
erybody, ! was surprised to see the
partiality shown Mr. e. L. Kuyken-
dali, candidate for mayor of Colum-
bus, in Sundays Dispatch. | think
in municipal politics, when the oppon-
ents are neighbors and friends, the
newspapers should be neutral.
In the Dispatch of Sunday, while
you spoke well of Mayor Glover, you
said more for Mr.. Kuykendall. For
example, you said, under the picture
of Mr.. Kuykendall, "Mr. f. L. Kuy-
kendall, base ball promoter, motion
picture magante, Rotarian, Columbus
Radius enthusiast, and general all
round good citizen, who aspires to
serve Columbus as mayor"
Base ball promoter" How that
makes the voters think of the many
fine games of base ball they have seen
on the local diamond, and they are
thus prompted to vote for Mr. Kuy-
kendall
"Motion picture magnate." Here
again the voters think of the many
good shows they have seen at the
Princess, and they feel like they
ought to vote for the man who fur
nishes the amusement.
"Rotarian." The Rotary Club is
such a splendid organization, and is
so famous for its accomplishments,
that the voter naturally feels like sup
porting a man who belongs to such an
organization.
"RaGius enthusiast" This natural
" brings up the plan thought out by
the secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce, Of enlarcing the trade terri
tory of Columbus, and the voters
again fee! that man who efficiently

HAROLDD WILSON'S
Name viii Go Down In History
As Man Who Broke Up Big
Republican Banquet
In Boston.

Writing to the Dispatch from
Washington p. c., under date Of
February 9Th, Mr.. Wallace Bassford,
our regular correspondent at the ma
tional capital, says:
/ Three years ago the Republicans,
in the middle of President Wilson's
second term, won the House and got
control of the Senate through bribery
the bribery being in Michigan,
where a seat was purchased for
Truman H. Newberry. Then they
raised great cry for the President
to summon Congress in extra session
so that they could do something to
help the soldiers, with bonus legis-
latiOn, provision for the wounded,
sick, insane and so on-so Wilson
called Congress. In his opening ad-
dress, in April, 1919, he asked Con-
gress to provide for the soldiers and
revise the tax laws, which had been
enacted in haste in the wartime to
provide money to carry on the war.
At first it looked like Congress would
acquesce, but Boss Penrose took the
position that it, would enable the Re-
publicans to elect a President (of his
choosing) in 1920 IF we let the peo-
pie sweat" SO they let the people
sweat, and they are still sweating,
and the insane, the sick, the disabled,
the penniless soldiers are doing their
full share of the sweating
The Anti-lynching Act provides that
the county in which the lynching oc-
curs shall be fined $4,000, which
shall go to the family Of the late
lamented negro brute, while nothing
is paid to the poor victim Of his be-
stiality. This is a fair sample Of Re-
publican legislation. Dyer, the author
Of this bill, had a district containing
many thousands Of negroes when he
wrote the bill. but it looks like he
will have TO run in the State at large
next November, because of the tech
meal position of the attempt to re-
district Missouri, whereupon the rural
l0ter will set chance at Bre'r Dyer
lie will carry heavy handicap and
he odds will be greatly against him.

/ leaf from the book Of a certain
Congressman who used to represent a
Missouri District in years gone by.
