Editor Commonwealth:
We may read ia the New Testament
from the FIRST verse OF Mathews to the
last verse OF the last chapter of Revela-
tion and not find a solitary precept OF
exhortation respecting the Fanatical
mode Of Sabbath observance. This goes
to show that at the time the New Tesla.
ment was written, there was no such
precept or exhortation Of the preachers
made Of Sabbath observance which OBJ

INDIANOLA EDITOR DEFENDS
ROOSEVELT.

Jackson, Miss, Oct. II. Senator
Moneys interview stating that Pres
ident Roosevelt would not be accord
ed a welcome TO Mississippi has call
ed forth some very caustic critl-
cisms from the State press, and the
utterances of the senior Senator is
being condemned by some Of his
most loyal supporters.
A significant criticism of this
character appears in the current is
sue of the Sunhower Tocsin, publish
ed at Indianola, the town where
President Roosevelt abolished a post
office because the citizens would not
permit Minnie Cox to serve as post
mistress. The editor OF the Tocsin,
Joe Richardson, was a member Of the
delegation sent to Washington for
the purpose Of fling a protest. 1t
would, therefore, be logical to infer
that the people of Indianola cherish a
more bitter feeling toward the Pres
ident than any other town in the
State, to which the Toscin editorial
ly says:
Senator Moneys utterance while
in Memphis the other day that he
hoped Roosevelt would not visit Mis-
sissippi on his Southern tour, was
certainly uncalled for, indiscreet, and
a slam against that Southern chival-
ry always extended to welcome a
stranger within her gates.
1--WE people Of Indianola have no
particular desire to see the Presi-
dent, as he can have no desire to
visit our city; but, however much
he has wronged and maligned us in
the past, he would be given a hearty
welcome, and would be just as safe
as in the White House, should he
honor us with a visit,
"Such utterances as Senator Mon
ey's tend to form an idea in the
minds of people at a distance that
we have lost the generous spirit that
characterized this section in the ar
ly days of the century"

TWENTY-SlX HOMICIDES In
STATE LAST WEEK.

Jackson, Miss, Oct. l4.--During
the week now closing there have
been twenty-six homicides in Missis-
sippi, which eclipses any record that
has been made in the state for sew
eral months, and equals the weekly
record of the year.
Snntlower county gets the credit
or discredit, for six Of these killings
which occurred within two days, and
Kinds county has three homicides
charged against her, one being Of d
justifiable nature. Simpson County
has two and the rest are scattered
over the State.
1t is a statement that admits Of no
dispute that Mississippi's criminal
record this year has beer something
horrible to contemplate, and exceeds
by far any record in previous years
since the days Of reconstruction.
In some counties, especially where
a large negro population exists, the
inhabitants seem TO have a homici-
dial mania, and human life has be-
come so cheap that men are murder
ed on the public roads and city
highways without a pang Of con-
science or fear Of the future.

LEGISLATURE ACTS LAST.

A dispatch from Jackson to the
Memphis News-Scimitar says:
The first copies Of the new annota-
ted code received today caused the
State officials TO open their eyes in
establishment.
The commission has construed its
powers to mean that it is vested not
only with authority to annotate the
statutes but also to make amend
ments and write entirely new laws.
Many radical changes have been
made throughout the volume. For
instance, the primary election law
has been entirely recast and in many
passages its meaning altered, The
penitentiary management and Ii
cquor laws bear almost no resemb-
lance to their former self, and many
other chapters are radically altered.
1t is expected that wholesale criti-
cism will follow, for able lawyers
hold that, regardless of the construc-
ton placed upon the statute creating
the body, the Legislature had no
right to vest its law making powers
in a commission.
While the above may be true in
every particular, still there is moth
ing serious to it, because the new
code is not a code until the legisla-
ture passes upon its provisions and
enaets the code into Law. W. do
not believe the Legislature contem-
plated giving full authority to the
Commission to so re-write the laws
of the state as to change the mean
ing and purpose Of any law now on
the statute books, the purpose Of the
act authorizing the appointment Of
the Code Commission being 10 have
the State laws now in force so ar
ranged and codified as to place the
general statute laws in one book for
the lawyer and laymen Of the State.
II the code commissioners have act
ed on the theory that they could
improve on the present laws and
have so prepared the new code, the
legislature will have the opportuni-
ty to so amend as to meet the views
Of a majority of that body and it is
probable that the commissioners will
not know their baby when the leg
islature gets through with the pro-
cess Of carving and patching-strik-
ing out and adding to-the work
submitted. The Legislature has, Of
course, mo right TO vest its law max
ing powers in a commission" and
the code as presented by the Com
mission is no more law until adop-
ted by the legislature than any bill
prepared by a member or a commit
tee Of the legislature is law until
passed by the legislature and signed
by the Governor - reenyille Dem
ocrat.

The writer had an opportunity to
observe the crops on a number of
farms in the western portion Of the
county during the week and candor
compels us to say that conditions are
worse than we had considered them.
We cannot see how the cotton yield
upon those farms can be over fifty
per cent. Of the yield for 1904, The
corn crop is also short. The far
mers of that vicinity express them
selves as determined to hold their
cotton for better prices.-Grenada
Sentinel.
Quite a sentiment exists among
the members of the Mississippi leg
lslature to enact a law exempting
from taxation all money loaned at
six per cent. interest. If this were
done, would it not be consistent to
exempt from taxation all money in
vested in enterprises that do not pay
more than six per cent. dividends?
1t appears that the legislature
had best consider where such radi-
cal legislation would lead to. If
money at six per cent. is made free
from taxation, all enterprises that
represent money and do not make
more than six per cent. returns,
should enjoy the same immunity.

not drop the bars and let investors

which the laws against crime are be.

Is very good reason 10 believe that
the president will follow the lead Of
Secretary Taft and upon an occasion
that will soon arrive will deliver him
self OF decided sentiments on the
subject OF the objectionable delays OF
the law. The rapid manner In which
crime Is increasing In the country and
the /, CORRESPONDENCE rapid decrease
In the number Of convictions Is a
matter Of much nicer and appre.
hension TO the thinkers OF this ma
ton. 1t Is known that the president
agrees with his secretary of war that
the chief cause OF this lamentable
state of affairs is that criminal law.
yers are able 10 take advantage OF
s~enseless technicalIties to delay trial
and to clear the guilty.
1t must be admitted. too. that the
public sentiment has not reached a
high enough standard in the matter
OF the enforcement Of the laws. That
man who pretends to be a patriot.
and yet Is ready to violate the laws OF
his country. II he can do so with i'm.
punity. is not a patriot. but only a
liar. The republican or the democrat
who uses his party cloak to shield him

country. q breeder OF criminals. a dis

| Neither. can a nation ever become
great and law abiding until Its people
are ready TO condemn any act OF In
Justice towards another country. 1t
Is not patriotism, II is rascality to say
az many have said. right or wrong

coed in enforcing our laws. In max
Ing crimes less frequent until We. as
a nation and as individuals. draw a
| sharp line OF demarcation between
| what Is fundamentally right and what
is wrong and live up to the distinc-
tion.
Although there are many senseless
technicalities In our laws. we won't
make Improvement by removing these
technicalities. II we do not also cul-
tivate a O honest and healthful
public sentiment with regard to the
moral duty Of keeping and enforcing
