It is deplorable to think of how
little interest has been manifested
heretofore in Institutes. when it can
be made of such incalculable value to
teachers
The state legislature has just pass
ed bill largely increasing the
amount of money to be given for the
support of education which is re-
cognition of the needs of our schools

that children get the benefit made
possible thereby.

JUDGE MILLER'S CHARGE TIC
GRAND JURY,

The following is an excerpt from
the charge delivered to the grand
jury, in Yazoo City, at recent ses-
sion of circuit court, relating to gam.
bling and the blind tiger. Don't fail
to read it. Judge Miller strikes the
key note to the situation, not only in
Yazoo City, but in many other Splaces
as we'll.
'Now, as to gambling. I made a
promise the other day to two or three
representative citizens of this county
that would endeavor to break uI
this business of gambling and selling
liquor in this county. This court is
going to do its duty, and you, gentle
men, must do yours. I don't know
what you all think about gambling
neither does this court care. But IN.
der your oath, if evidence is brought
before you, showing a mans guilt, il
is your duty to indict, regardless Of
what your individual opinion may be
on the subject. This is law
81 do not want you to get the i'm.
preston that you must stop when you
have got the negro crap shooter. We
are not looking for small game Get
around the hotels, livery stables and
other places, and get the socalled gen
tlemen gamblers who are playing fol-
big steaks. They are the ones that
are hurtful to the country. You
know this has been going on You
can get at it if you want to. You
know the men who have engaged in
it, and you can make them perjure
themselves; we can get them for per.
| jury. Some of them will swear tc
point blank lies, and if you indict
some of them for perjury, it will have
good effect.
eff you find any men who have
been enticing minors into their dens
of infamy, for Gods sake indic1
them. They are menace to good
morals and good society, and lepers in
the community The man who
would inSeigle young men into their
dens of vice, make them drunk and
rob them of their money. is misera.
BILE thief and scoundrel and if any
of you don't think so, it is high, time
for you to change your views. II
there is any man for whom I have a
contempt, it is the man who makes
his living gambling, and if you find
any such, it is your duty to indict
him, and the court will endeavoI to
see that he gets justice.
'This is prohibition city and ii
is against the law to sell liquor in
this county. Where you find case
of this kind under your oath, it is
your duty to indict, regardless of what
you think of che prohibition law. 1t
is not always an easy matter to get at
these fellows There seems to be an
understanding between the scoundrel
who sells it and the man who forgets
himself and steps into these places
and buys it. The man who would
perjure his. soul to buy a bottle Of
liquor. would perjure himself tor any
thing, and he is calculated to do any
thing mean, If given the opportuni-
Ity.
81 am told that blind tigers do not
exist here, but these places are run
wide open Almost every man in the
county knows of it. You have heard
it, and perhaps seem to you have
patronized them, though hope not.
There must be something wrong when
these things exist in your community
and they could not exist without the
patronage of the public; but they
should be broken up. You, gentle.

PRIMER OF RUSSIA AND JAPAN.


What is the trouble in the Far
East?
Japan is trying to keep Russia out
of Korea.
What is Korea and where is it
situated?
Korea is an autocracy under Japan
csc influence, about as large as Kan
sas, with a population estimated at
between 5000, 900 and 16, 900, 000 The
empire occupies a peninsula just
south of Siberia, jutting out into the
Pacific ocean between the Yellow Sea
and Sea of Japan, and reaching with
in less than 100 miles of the southern
end of Japan.
Is Korea rich country?
Not especially. 1t is purely agri-
cultural land and the method of Guilt
walton is primitive. A few gold
mines are operated and there are sup
posed to be deposits of copper, iron
and coal.
Why, then, does Russia want
Korea?
Chiefly because of it's position
Korea is an extension of Manchuria
which practically belongs to Russia
In the natural development of contig
euous territory Russian merchants
have crossed the boundary into Korea
int rs LOT
there under the weak native govern
ment naturally looked to tbs czar for
protection.
Why is Korea of strategic value to
Russia?
For two reasons. First, Russian
vessels must make long detour
around Korea to pass from Vladivo-
stock, Siberia, to Port Arthur, the
Russian harbor in Manchuria. In
this journey they must traverse mar
row strait between Korea and ia
panesB Island, comparable to Gibral-
tar. To insure free passage Russia
seeks to control the end Of the Korean
peninsula. Second, when Russia be-
gins its anticipated absorption of
China it would be inconvenient if a
hostile power should have military
base on the northeastern coast of
Asia. Therefore it desires to annex
Korea.
Why does Japan object to the Rus
sian annexation of Korea /?
Because Japan is overorowded with
population ten times as dense as
that of the United States and it seeks
an outlet for its emigrants on the
main land. The island empire has
hoped, too, to make Korea base of an
attempt to extend Japanese influence
throughout China. Furthermore it
now conducts nine -tenths of Korea 8
commerce and owns Korea's two rail-
ways. And, finally Japan holds it's
own independence would be menaced
were Russia to gain the harbor at the
end of the Korean peninsula almost
within cannon range of the Japanese
island fortress of Tsushima.
Does Japan want to annex Korea?
No. 1t is satisfied to maintain
Korea's sovereignty with the expecta-
tion that it's natural advantages of
