Taxes have proven high and difficult
in many instances to pay: but, say now,
who would go back into the ruts of the
old country roads, the poor schools, the
absence of light, the drawing of wa
ter and the myriads of things that har-
assed and vexed us and that we couldn't
tolerate now. even to escape taxa
ton? One thing is sure, we haven't
gotten something for nothing but we
should be willing to pay for improved
conditions Of our present and pleasant
life.

WANTS TRIAL IN COURT.

Il notice in the newspapers that Miss
Birkhead has expressed willingness to
appear before legislative investigating
committee, in case she is requested to
do so.
Il am not surprised at this, because
she has been perfectly frank about the
matter. since the very beginning. but /
sincerely hope that she will not be re-
quired do so.
Speaking as counsel for Miss Birk-
head. have no desire to try the case
in the legislature. 1t is my desire to
keep 1t out of politics, for 1t had no po-
litical origin, insofar as am concerned
and 7 am quite sure that this is true of
Miss Birkhead.
'"The suit is essentially a civil pro-
ceeding, an action for damages to which
the young woman is justly entitled, and
we desire to have it settled strictly as
a legal matterin the courts, and with
out any form Of political complication.
For more than two years the unfor-
tunate young woman has endeavored to
secure redress of her wrongs She
has been deceived by false promises, de-
luded by statements of the Governors
friends and attorneys, driven well-nigh
distracted by her physical condition, and
behind this suit is a determination te
fight to finish strictly on the grounds
Of Governor Russelrs legal liability"

evidence that she might have concern
ing Governor Russell. / might add in
this connection, that she had a avery inn
posing array of documentary evidence,
not only bearing on her own case. but
involving the Governor in a number Of
other highly interesting matters.
Miss Birkhead told me that she de-
cided to accept the offer. She was then
in destitute circumstances, and the
sum of $3.50 no doubt appeared like a
godsend. cannot state. on my own
personal knowledge as to who paid her
that first $250--and the only payment
she ever received under the agreement
but have been advised that it was
made on Governor Russell's behalf by
Ex-Gov. Theo. G. Bilbo--in fact, he has
admitted that he acted as Governor
Russelrs emissary In the matter.

Failed IN MISSION.

Miss Birkhead evidently failed on
her mission. I heard nothing more from
her for six months or more, and had
almost forgotten about the matter when
she came to Vicksburg one day and told
me that she had decided to move to
New Orleans; that she had failed to Sc
cure settlement with Governor Rus
sell. but still had hope of making a
compromise of some sort; that she
wanted to keep out of the courts, if pos
sible. but she had to work to support
herself, and had been promised a po-
sition in New Orleans.
EARLY in January I received let
ter from Miss Birkhead stating that she
had told her troubles to Hon. Harry
Mooney, United States district attorney
in New Orleans, and that he deeply
sympathized with her in her troubles,
and requested that I come to New Or
leans for conference
The Semi-weekly leader., 1922-02-15
DECIDED ON SUIT.

II was then arranging to go to New
Orleans, having some other business in
that city, SO I left for that city, car
rying Miss Birkhead's papers and doc
umentary evidence with me.
AT this conference it was decided to
file suit in the United States district
court in Jackson. Miss Birkhead die
tated statement to accompany the bill
of complaint which is substantially the
same as that prepared by her in Mem
phis before she had ever conferred with
me, and according to the date on the
document, was written in Memphis on
Dec. 10th, 1920. 1t corroboPated every
detail of the verbal statement she made
in my office, and. to my mind, the most
surprising thing about this young wo-
man is the way she has stuck to her
statements, without variance in the
slightest important detail.
Il had nothing whatever to do with
the employment of Messrs. Campbell &
Campbell as associate counsel. That
was arranged by Miss Birkhead. She
advised me that Messrs. Campbell and
Campbell had consented to help her in
the case, and I was very glad to hear
it, for there is not an ADLER legal firm
in the state.
The Semi-weekly leader., 1922-02-15
FosTER HAD pocuMENTs.

"The next heard from Miss Birk-
head was when she came to my office
to get the papers and documents, which
were then in my possession, to turn
them over to the attorney for Governor
Russell
II advised Miss Birkhead that she
should take no chances; that the a
greement to pay her $3.50 per month
was merely verbal. and she had no as
surance it would be carried out /
then wrote out a form of contract to
this effect-that the papers and docu-
ments be placed in strong envelope
and placed in escrow; that they be de-
posted in some first-class bank in Mis-
sissippi, to be mutually agreed upon,
that that through this bank Governor
Russell should make to her the $3.50
monthly payments, between the 1st and
the 18th of each month"; and that when
Governor Russell retired from office, or
in event he made payment in full these
papers would be turned over to him. by
the bank
This contract was prepared in type
written form, and Miss Birkhead took
it, and went to Jackson. I had eau
toned her that unless she had it duly
signed that it was more than likely she
would never receive more than the $3.50
payment she had already received from
ex-Gov Bilbo.

Holiday Spirit Has Already
Taken Possession of City
Merchants Campaign to Stimulate Early Shopping Has Led
Satisfactory Results, and Biggest Business
of Years Is Anticipated.

The unusual prosperity OF the
city for this past year has called
forth conn aris0n5 OF the coming
Christmas with those Of the past
few years.
Christmas in 1917 was America
war Christmas. the first in great
many years. and hearts were too
fun for hearty enjoyment OF this
seasOn. The richest satisfaction
that year came from the happiness
In remembering the boys who
trained in cantonments at home, or
waited the zero nour Of trial on
European battlefronts. Everyone
recalls the feverish confusion which
prevailed IN those DAYS. the dread
and fear and grief relieved only by
the glorious news from the front,
and the happy excitement OF stuff
fling Christmas boxes TO overflow
ing with the comforts so needed by
cur fighters.
Contrast i'm 1918.
Christmas IN 1918 was a blessed
contrast. though the wounds of war
werc still raw and hearts still suf-
fered silently But the exultation
OF victory made IL surprisingly easy
to celebrate. and buying was accel-
Grated in proportion. The influenza
epidemic threw a shadow over the
festivities. and brought gloom into
many homes. But hand in hand
with Christmas came the beautiful
spirit or brotherhood TO bind up
the wounds and minister to stricken
hearts. That was the year OF
good fellowship on q wholesale
scale. and hundreds of baskets
overlooking with good things went
into Mishawaka homes 10 provide
comfort and cheer.
In 1919 tho Red Cross and Sal
vation Army continued their splen-
did Offices and every unfortunate
family in the city benefited. The
succeeding two years have seen the
same generous effort to carry the
Christmas gospel of peace on earth
and good will toward men into ev-
cry corner of the city. Municipal
celebrations have been a part OF
the season for the past several
years. the big evergreen tree at
the Booth home, resplendent with
many colored lights ma topped
with a beautiful cross, summonins
hundreds TO the services. The ceie-
bration was discontinued a year
ago. but the tree still performs its
