' I „ d T 1 " the ' • k were _ spectacle and cried out against the in iquity. Chief among these was Hobbs, the lamented editor Brookhaven Leader, the ablest newspaper champion of the Senatorial aspiration of Vardanian Mississippi. He loved his friends. Hut he was more devoted to law and order; and lie never hesitated to stand for the right as he saw the right, even to his fitiHiiuial and political hurt. This will not be gainsaid by the dead editor a fieriest adversary, now that be sleep* the sleep of the just in the silent city of the dead in the beautiful town of Brookhaven. Nor is it improper to say, for it is the truth, that B. T. Hobbs is mourned by his legion of friends, and rcr-p ' ted by those who differed from huu. from the center to the cireumfer of Mr. Hobbs was «if# 04 Mississippi. Last April, under the caption of "Whither Are Brookhaven Leader sounded the warn ing against poll tax delinquents voting in primaries in a most vigorous edito This editorial was reproduced in the Clarion-Ledger of April 30th, 1910, Later in the We Drifting? rial. ♦ and editorially commended, a signed communication to this paper the Hon. J. A. P. Campbell, the self retired Mississippi Gamaliel, honors—with no enemies to punish save the enemies of good government—not only commended the Leader editorial, but laid the law down in the premises. Judge Campbell's communication ap- ' peared in the Clarion-Ledger of May I ith 1910. It was reproduced by Editor Hobbs in a later issue of the Brook ! full Of haven Leader. Editor Hobbs evidently bad the idea 1 made to be Obeyed; that it was the duty of all * 00.1 citizens to stand by the sacred instrument, which had freed Mississippi 1 from pillage and misrule, and to stand I by all Who stand by that sacred instru- e uuent. This, regardless of who is or is not a candidate for United States Sen ator. A candidate may be only a primrose bv the river's brim, but the constitution is no plaything. While /.tends the constitution, the State shall sand; when falls the constitution, the State shall fall. In short, the constitu tion is the supreme law of the land. To nullify it is to invite red-handed anarchy. So believing, the Brookhaven Leader, a year ago, cried out against poll lax delinquents voting in primaries, , and to the Leader, therefore, under the tearless and conscientious control of that the constitution was btH , ollll the lamented Hobbs is entitled the ore) it for leading what has now 'essfui crusade against this viola a sue tion of the fundamental law of the State, Following is the editorial appearing in the Brookhaven Leader ol last April: As one native and to the manner who loves Mississippi, the editor born of the Leader desires to sound a note of warning. It is a notorious fact that iu many places in the State poll tax allowed to vote in the delinquents are primaries. A poll tax delinquent who votes 111 any primary subjects himself to the same pains and penalties a» if . he voted in the general election. The ; violation of this law will forever mar the perfume of the primary election law, dear to the bone and sinew of Missis ''"Ten years ago it was published frere the official record that there ^,,11 |HV . n »(:«, r Li ' nr l- s n^ t rve^ after sissippi, ..his waa just ten years af 1 the adoption of the constitution of 1390. If the same ratio of delinquents has kept up for the past ten years, the! *|T .Ulinunenta of Missis vlnti poll tax delinquents ot Missis s ;,i agregate 60,000. To allow a " b ! ' "Son. inTLSpr'STftSS i violation of the law is uniust and » of the Stete " atr to those citizens of the »taU , who pay their poll taxes. In short, the way things are drifting, the State is j in danger of being governed by the non -. taxed, or at least through the votes at, flic nriinaries of those who fail and re fuse to pav their poll taxes. The pco pie arc paiient and long suffering; but endurance h'as its bounds. Those Dera-! ocrats of Mississippi who pav their taxes are justly resentful of the fact that men who do not are permitted, in violation of the law, to Vote in pri maries and thus nullify their votes. ''This is a matter that cries out for prompt correction, and district and county attorneys should do their duty in having those who violate the pri-1 m&ry election law indicted and pun ished.

This communication was hau 1 died at the time by the Jackson cone- 1 ' •JwiUent" °f the Memphis and New Or leans papers. It follows iti full; • ' Kef it or Clarion-Ledger: "The article appearing in the Clarion Ledger of April 30, copied from the Brookhaven Leader, is on 1 » subject of very great importance, and therefore worthy of the attention of all who feel an interest in Mississ.ppt, j None but qualified electors should be ! allowed to vote at primary or other elections. The constitution of the Mate [ declares who is entitled to vote, ami e9 among the prescribed qualification i« nl payment, 'on or before the first of Feb ruary of the year in which he shall oiler to vote, of all taxes which may have been legally required of him, and which he has had au opportunity of paying ac cording to law, for the two preceding years (not merely poll taxes, but all taxes), and who shall produce to the officers holding the election satisfac- I A tory evideuee that he has paid said ! to k axe# » j .
