Relative Merits of Immigrants.
Roughly speaking, the North of Eu-
rope people make better citizens than
those from the South of Europe. The
better class go to the country and the
worst TO the cities. The Greeks are
considered about the least desirable Of
all; the Italians from the southern por-
tion of the peninsula also make poor
citizens; but those from the northern
part rank with the Swiss and other de-
s'rable nationallties. From 1921 10

POpulistS to Meet.

The populists are going to make q
last effort 10 make showing in Mis-
sissippi politics, according to informa-
ton received from Choctaw county.
1t is stated that they have determined
to hold meeting in that county at an
early date. The meeting was called
by DIR. Prewitt, who figured some
what prominently in populist politics
good many years ago, being at one
time candidate for governor on that
ticket 1t is inferred that meetings
will probably be held in other counties
in that section if the Choctaw one
shows that enough of that political
faith still remains to make it worth
while.

Plans of the Pr0llibiti0nists.

The meeting held by the Lincoln
county prohibitionists recently is the
first one reported since the adjourn
ment of the mass meeting at Jackson.
It was there, it will be recalled, de-
cided that such assemblies should be
held in each county for the purpose
of fostering prohibition sentiment,
developing it's strengt til and bringing
q pressure to bear in order to secure
the election to the Legislature of men
favorable to the submission of a con-
stitutional amendment fixing prohibit
ton as a part of the fundamental law
of the State. After the announce
ment of the campaign committee by
Chairman Fitzhugh, and the COM
mencement OF operations by it, doubt
less other counties will fall in line with
similar mass meetings. 1t seems to
be settled that the prohibition ques-
tion will not figure at all in the State
campaign, and only to limited ex-
tent In the selection of candidates for
the Legislature.

APPROPRIATIONS BY CONGRESS.
Statement Made Public by Cannon and
LiyingStOn.

Washing tons Statements prepared
by Mr.. Cannon, chairman of the
house committee on appropriations,
ana Representative Livingstone the
ranking minority member OF the
committee. relative to the appro-
priations made by the Fifty seventh
congress, together witL compare
tive tables, have been made public.
Mr.. Cannon analyses the figures
presented by the tables and explains
the increases in appropriations for
the session just ended with those of
last session. In concluding his state
ment Mr.. Cannon said:
"The Republican administration
the domination CT Republican pcli-
cies in both branches of congress
since 1897, has given US system OF
taxation that has produced ma
tional treasury richer than was
ever enjoyed by any nation OF the
earth and rendered possible these
great expenditures for the public
welfare.
Mr.. Livingston con- pares the ap-
preparations made by the Fifty
third congress. both branches OF
which were controlled by the Dem
ocrats amounting to 1899, 239, 205,
with TIE appropriations of the Fifty
seventh congress amounting to
81 .554, 1913. 504, and comments on the
difference.
In conclusion he says:
Nothing short of a revision OF
the tariff on a revenue basis and the
administrati ton of the government
under the wise and prudent meth
DDS of the Democratic party can be
looked to to bring about a reduc-
ton in the national expenditure ex-
hibited by the big figures In such
appalling proportions.

this conference are epitomized in the
declaration Of principles adopted.
The conference attached considerable
Importance to tie movement which
was made under the auspices of the
Peabody educational fand to establish

opinion Of the educators that the es-
tablishment of such school for COL
orad teachers, as is contemplated by
the trustees of the fund, would be a
great impetus to the cause of negro
education.
It was agreed that the industrial
schools should try to impress upon
the colored people that it is best for
them to turn to agricultural pursuits
to belt ter their condition and to shun
the cities and towns.

It is stated on the same authority,

CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION.
Which Affects Many Cities in the State
That Have Not Come in Under the
the Code Chapter and have Issued Bonds
Under Authority OF an Amendment.

A case of general importance in
rvolving constitutional question has
recently been argued before the SUI
preme court at Jackson. 1t is the
case of Yazoc City versus Lightcap
and others. The constitutional ques-
zion in the cause is whether the leg
isIature had the power to pass Sec
eion 3039 of the municipal chapter
of the Code. That chapter provides
"A plac of uniform municipal govern :
Erent for the towns and cities of the
State. 1t contained, however, res
rcrvation of right to any existing
3own or city to refuse to come In
uaIer the "Code chapter" as it IS
called, ard to retain its original
charter. The section referred to
gave such declining towns and cities
tgsa right to amerd their own char
sers. 1t was argued bv the appel
=. IS that the section was constitu-
a.p lal, while the other side main
&a.ned that the legislature had no
2 i,ght to designate such govern
x i ntal function as the amendment
al a city charter to the city itself.

Tss ire about to be disposed of when
she city authorities were enioined
GA the ground that the section au-
thorizing the amendment of the
charter by the city and thus en-
abling it to sell bonds was unconsti-
futional, as above stated. Chancel-
Tor Conn held the section unconsti-
futional. and the case was immedi-
ately brought to the supreme court.
The decision of the question in
volved affects not only Yazoo City,
but Greenviile and a number of
other cities of the State which have
declined to come il under the Code
Chapter and have issued bonds un~
der the authority of an amendment
to their charters made by them
selves. AS there are a number of
cities in the State which are in ex-
,actfy this position, it will ue seen
that the decision will have far
reaching effect.
