ing session of the legislature will be
made on the proposed uniform school
| book bill.
The large book publishing concerns
now holding the lions share of the
tide in the state realized that a
strenuous effort will be made to Sc
cure the adoption of an uniform sys-
tenn, and are expected to oppose it
with as much vigor as they have
shown OH several rrecions occasions
when their interests were at stake.
On the other hand several publishing
firms whose trade in Mississippi is
not so large and prosperous as they
would like it to be are certainly to be
found fighting in favor of the meas
ure, and this will bring to the capt
tai large opposing forces of lobbyists
and display of the methods usually
adopted in such battles.
Many of the legislators who were
nominated in the primaries and for
mally elected last Tuesday made their
on the school book issue,
and the measure will have a strong
support that will require the most
ST irited opposition to combat.

DEAF AND DUMB INSTITUTION
Greatly in Need of Appropriation
to Better Present Inadequate
Facilities.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Nov. st is difficult to
see how the legislature at its January
session can escape making provision
for a new institution for the deaf and
dumb. The quarters at present occu-
pied by that institution are merely
temporary, being erected in the form
of cottages on the site occupied by the
main buildings destroyed by fire two
years ago, and are wholly inadequate
for present needs. Nearly one hun
dred pupils have been denied admis
zion this year ON account of the lack
of facilities.
The board of trustees of the deaf
and dumb institution will recommend
to the legislature the purchase of a
suitable tract Of ground outside the
CITY limits and the erection thereon
of modern buildings adequate for the
increase in deaf and dumb children for
many years to come. This recon-
mendation will receive the endorse
ment of Governor Longino in his final
message. 1t is estimated that from
500, 600 to $3.50. 600 will be required
for the purpose.

INAUGURAL ADDRESS
Of Governor-Elect VardamaD Be
ing Looked Forward to With
Much Interest.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Special to the Daily Progress.
jackson, Nov. 9.-Con siderable in
terest is being maniiesed in the rec
concentrations that wilt be made Il
the legislature in the inaugural ad
dress of Governor Elect Vardaman
who has thus far given out no forIna
intimation as to the probable tone oil
that document. bat among his persona
and political friends it is known thai
he has finally decided on number OF
the measures TO be suggested to the
law mf kers.
1t is of course we'll known that the
new governor will give vent to an
expression of his views on the race
problem, which have attracted SO
much attention throughout the coun-
try and which will be expressed in
his usual vigorous and trenchant
manner, accompanied by the recon-
mendation for a division Of the com
mon school fund between the races,
which he is pledged to make.
Major Vardmaan is strongly in IA
vor of working y portion of the state 5
convicts on public roads, and the
adoption Of some plan for a general
improvement of the public highways.
His address is certain TO give full
exposition of his views on this i'm
portant question The new primary
law undoubtedly needs several amend
ments, and the incoming governor
will suggest several features needed
in revising the measure.
On the question of states finances
Governor Vardaman will treat ex-
hautsively. He is now engaged in
making a thorough study Of the finan-
cial condition of the commonwealth,
present and prospective, and the con
clusion has practically been reached
that bond issue or at least "a half
million dollars will be required in
order to keep comfortable surplus in
the treasury during the next four
years.
A liberal policy will be shown the
state educational and benevolent in
situations, but it is not anticipated
that they will need appropriations
in excess of those for the last biennial
period, owing to the fact that nearly F!
all of them have been greatly enlarg- |
ed, improved and frequently equipped |
during the present administration.
On the general subject of education
Governor Vardaman is pledged to
give the white children the best ad-
viantages and to this end he is ex
pected to urge the establishment OF a
state normal school, improved curri
culum, better salaries, ETC., his views,
to great extent, coinciding with
those of the state superintendent OF
education.
A state bureau of immigration,
school of technology, department. of
agriculture, and thoroughly geolog
ical survey, are subjects upon which
the inaugural address Is expected TO
dwell at some length.
The incoming governor is also ia
himself with the needed
revision of the insurance laws, bank
ing legislation, ETC., and he is known
to be heartily in favor of the state
accepting free from the Sons of Vet
Grams and taking charge of the Beau
voir home for INDECENT ex-confeder
ates.
Other measures very much needed at
this time will find a place in the ad
dress, which will undoubtedly be
paper of much literary merit, and the
will await its delivery
with eager interest.

Died in Kansas.

Walter Willis. the 12-yearl-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. James Willis of
Spring Creek, died at Garrett, Kan,
last Friday, and a telegram from the
bereaved mother announced that the
body would be brought home for in
terment. Walter had been in very
bad health for some months, and the
physicians suggested change of eli
mate as the last chance to restore
his health, so his mother took him
to Kansas early in the fall, but the
change was not the panacea needed,
and the young sufferer passed over
the dark river without having ex-
perienced any previous relief. The
neighborhood extends hearty sympa-
thy to the bereaved family.

The following letter is printed in
the scandinavian, a paper of wide
spread circulation, published in Chi
cago. in the Scandinavian text:
Editor Skandinaven: Dear Sir-In
poor and oppressed Finland all the
crops failed almost completely last
year. Men. women and children are
facing the horrible fate of starvation
if help is not extended at once. The
famine is already at work with it's
merciless scythe and is reaping it's
harvest. The most pitiable condi-
tons exist, and as the poor and suf-
fering people are at the mercy of re-
lentless censor of the press, full &C.
counts of the suffering cannot reach
the outside world. and thousands OF
people may perish without anything
being done to aid them, and the
world will know nothing about it.
A letter recently received from a
brother minister in Finland reads in
part as follows:
Dear Brother in Christ Jesus
Your letter was a most pleasant sur
prise. l received it yesterday; it had
spent seven weeks on the way-of
course, on account of the censor.
Letters can now be opened unhin-
dered and unpublished, and be read
and confiscated if it so pleases our
tormentors. Your letter had been
opened and it had gone through a
transformation that is hard to de-
scribe; and many places l had to
guess at the meaning of the contents
SO defiled was it; but, thanks to the
| Lord, it was the contents that saved
your letter from confiscation.
What seems to have irritated and
offended the censor most was the
name Jesus; for every place where
this blessed and exalted name was
written there was perceptible the
track of the censor's paw
Il wonder if the tyranny is not to
end here? Or is God dead? How
long, Oh Lord, yes. how long is the
blessed name of Jesus to be tramplet
in the dust-that exalted name fol
which every knee shall bend il
heaven and on earth? Will not the
time come when the tyrant. like the
apostate, must cry: Thou hast con
quered Galilean?'
mo, l cannot come now, under thu
present mournful condition of affairs
for it is my sacred duty as servan
and follower Of Christ to help ait
