The Macon Beacon
State immigration League.

A movement that large portion Of
the press throughout the state seem to
think of the utmost importance to Mis-
sissippi and full Of promise for her
growth and prosperity was inaugurated
in Jackson this week when the State
Immigration League was formed there
Monday, The boards Of trade from the
various progressive towns in the state
sent enthusiastic delegates, and repre-
sentatives of tine railroads were present
and brought assurance Of hearty and
active cooperation and assistance in a
movement that means 50 much for
the development Of the state,
When one considers what a large pro-
portion Of the land Of the state is IN
cultivated or only partially cultivated
something very near fifty per cent
plan which promises to make these
lands productive Of revenue to the state
as well as increasing its population, gen
eral wealth and resources, will secure
the support of all thinking and tar-see-
ing men. Mississippi has too much Of
her wealth buried in dis,us and nom
use. and the time is come when she
should and will utilize all Of her re-
sources and'make every acre Of her land
count, and count well, in the sum OF
her power and greatness.
Another, and possibly not the least
factor for good, will be in the increase
in the proportion Of whites in the pop
ulation Of the state A movement
which promises such a tightening Of the
racial atmosphere deserves the active
help Of the Anglo.Saxons whether they
i've in cities and towns or on farms
Each gain in the white population is ar
increase in the safety and security o.
our supremacy, and an added assur.
ance Of the stability and invincibility o
our institutions as now constituted.
THE BEACON hopes that Macon, anC
indeed the whole county. will ally
themselves with this forward move
ment, and not only assist in the state
progress but partake Of it in generous

hands ln mixing into public ai. fairs
 The regular ticket is pledged Co the issue that the alleged news. paper SO long insisted was Che real need cf tbe town. Nobody ever held a moments doubt on that proposi- ton. 1t was a question of ways and means entirely. Finally the proposition seems feasible, the pre- sent board has advised it's adop- tion, and the ticket nominated in both regular conventions is com mitted to it. And straightway the Times abandons it's bantling, and tries to lay upon the doorstep of public opinion a new foundling. It has to do something to divert attention from the excellent ticket nominated regularly and to bolster up the pleasant gentlemen who have been induced to offer them selves as a sacrifice In the mean time the regular ticket will be elected, and there is nothing to prevent the incoming town board taking up the sewer proposition, investigating 1t in all of its details, determining the sufficiency of water supply, together with the means of creating d sufficiency should that course be necessary, whether it should be constructed by the municipality or franchise granted to corporation to con- struct and operate, and many more details. Then after the sub. feet is considered in all of it's bear ings proposition can be submit ted to the electors at a special cleo tion. But to spring the proposi- tion now as a reason why the vot- CTS should encourage few estim- able gentlemen in their desire to run for public office is a little toe much, and amusing withal. THF OASIS opines that unless some more cogent and powerful reason shall be shown why the independent ticket should receive public sup port, it will command very few
 votes. But 1t will give the man
 ipulators ample opportunity tC
 practice bit, and save the cleo
 tion from being without any ex
 citement or interest whatever.

THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION.

To run for office is one of the proud prerogatives of the American citizen, which prerogative includes also the equally proud privilege of voting for whomsoever the indi- vidual chooses for any and all of fees. But there are some offices which go begging usually for can didates, and it is difficult to per suade competent and qualified citizens to stand for them. Such are the offices in small munich pality like Nogales, and particular ly is this assertion true of the seats on the board of municipal councils. The office carries no emolument, no honors, a great deal of hard and disagreeable work and any amount of metaphorical cuffs and kicks. For the sake of such an office, men dislike to enter into a very arduous political cam paign, engendering always per- sonal animosities and hatreds which sometimes last for years, and  tits nut good for the community to have the strife that is stirred up always over little municipal cleo ton.
 For the clear and cogent reasons hereinbefore set forth there had grown in Nogales a sentiment that the approaching Spring election should be without strife, and that it would be better ali around to unite upon a single ticket, which should receive the unanimous suf frages of all citizens of the nun icipality. The new primary law just in effect and to be tried for the first time, made the project feasible in way. It provided for the use of the regular party ma chinery to make nominations, instead of the plan previously in operation of calling mass meetings and nominating hit or miss tickets That sentiment had grown so strong that when the two regular party conventions, selected at the res pective primary elections, nomi- mated municipal tickets they were identical. The result was a first class ticket, consisting of eminent lv representative gentlemen oi hoth political parties, in whose hands the aff4irs of the town will be we'll conducted.
 but of course so amicable and fair an arrangement could not fail to meet opposition. There be some

II ls theif privilege anH thtlf pre- rogative to do go. And there have been those in this case who have insisted upon their own enjoyment of that privilege and prerogative, with the result that there is now in the field another ticket seeking the votes of the electors. Those engineering the movement have put upon the ticket some very good men. With the ticket and with the motives of those furthering 1t there is no quarrel. They are simply exercising the proud Amer ican privilege and prerogative of running for public office and vot- ing for whom they please. That is their right. But those who take a contrary view have the right to scrutinize the issues upon which are askel the suffrages of the peo- pie for the candidates upon the ticSet, whether collectively or in dividually. Realizing that, the daily newspaper organ of the com- bination has sought to create an issue upon which the candidates can go before the people. It does not seem that in presenting the ticket the sponsors therefor had in view the need of such issues, for no one has seen or heard of any de- claration of principles promulgat. ed as reasons why the candidates named should receive public sup port. So the Times springs an all legged sewer proposition, dropping its hitherto pet scheme of town hall, which has been adopted by the regularly nominated ticket, insist ing now that the people of Nogales are crying for sewer, and that they need the same sadly. No longer are the beauties of a town hall paraded in the columns of the alleged newspaper No longer are the children of Nogales fretting for town hall with trimming of municipal water system. It is a sewer that is wanted, and that right away. So the Times throws into the scale all of it's puissant strength, and "A Sewerl A Sewerl" for it's war cry, rushes fearlessly and furiously into the fray.
 Now the sewer proposition may be all right. But the alleged news paper admits that there are many difficulties in the way of it's adop- tion. Among others is an admit ted scarcity of water for flushing. A sewer without water to flush il would be a very serious thing. It wonld be the worst sort ofa breeder of pestilence and contagion. It is a matter which should receive the most careful consideration at the hands of the governing body of the municipality and of the people themselves. It is something which ought to be given the most careful deliberation as to cost, ways and
 means and methods of construc- tion and cnnduat Tt io ,ao+ q ,,ro-

WhiDped ga Pupils.

Alfred Bunker of Boston has become
famous, not because he has been q
schoolmaster forty-seven years, but be-
cause he has whipped 524 pupils Of the
Quincy school during the last half year
of 1905. The school board has declared
that it was not necessary to whip a
single child, and Bunker Is facing a
crisis. His pupils are hard set, being
largely Poles, Italians, Syrians, Arme-
mans and Jews, and the district is,
of course, illiterate. Consequently. the
pupils of the Quincy school were with
out home influence for betterment.
Their educating influences began when
they came into the school and ended
when they left 1t. Moreover, it was
peculiarly difficult to understand their
natures. The duty devolved upon the
principal and staff Of the Quincy
school, first, to get close to these chill
dren of foreign birth or foreign parent
age; next, to keep them in order next,
to teach them the rudiments of knowl.
