Jaskson, Miss, Nov. I-State
Treasurer. w. J. Miller. has prepared

government for the biennial period
ending on Sept. 80, 1900, or two years
hence, the budget, however, not TAX

the session, dealing only with current
expenses.
The state will need for the next
two years, according to Mr. Miller.
the sum Of 50. 500. 2oS.73, at least this
is the amount available. and the. legs
islature generally spends everything
IN sight, and sometimes more.
For the year ending Sept 20, 1908.
says Mr.. Miller, the receipts available
at present rate of tax levy. will BIZ
$S,732,663.oI, less the deficit for 1906
OF of So56,o57.2o, leaving the net
amount available for appropriations
S2,7o7.oo5zo. Figuring the same
amount available for 1908, gives a to-
tai estimated amount available for the
next biennial term of So,5oo.S7S.zs.
The total appropriations in Ioo6-o7
for all purposes amounted to Sz-554s

There Is every reason to believe,
however, that the legislature will hnd
1t necessary to plan its expenditures
on larger scale than the amount OF
revenue in sight as figured by Mr.

URGES ALL TO Be ON GUARD
Low Negro Dives Responsible for

Jackson, Miss, Nov. I.-Governor
Vardaman today gave out an address
to the law officers OF the state urging
them to use diligent efforts to sup
press crime. among idle negroes. The
governor says that nine-tenths of the
negroes in Mississippi go continually
armed with the best kinds OF pistols
and carry them for the purpose Of
committing crime. He declares that
an increase in crime among members
OF their race is due to the cocaine
habit and blind tiger evils. and he ex-
presses the hope that the next legis-
lature wifi close every saloon in the
state. He urges the officers to be
continually On their guard and search
all suspicious looking negroes.
In a remarkable statement Govern
cor Nardaman calls upon law officers
Of the state to suppress crime among
negroes, even to the extent of disre-
garding the u. S. constitution. The
races are not alike and the law can
not make them alike nor is If possible
to treat them exactly alike before the
law. He says, 1T has never been
done. 1t can not be done, and it is
silly and crirninally absurd to try to
do it.
Predicting that unless Something
shall be done, and done promptly,
this entire state will BE some pande-
monium OF crime and bloodshed," and
he declares that Justice to the negro
does not mean that you must treat
him in all matters, even in enforce,
ment OF law, as YOU would a white
man. Going further. he says: .sIn
spite OF provisions of federation con-
stitution, who are called upon to deal
with this great problem must do that
which is necessary to be done even
though it may have at times the APP
pearance of going somewhat without
the law.
The low dives of the city, he says,
are breeders of crime and should not
be allowed to exist for a single day.
He blames incompetent officers for
much of the crime committed by this
race and says that the time has ar
rived in our day that only brave and
fearless men shonld be elected to the
office of sheriff, marshall or chief Of
police.
Avering that the problem is the
gravest one that ever confronted the
people or tested their civilization
Finally he asks the people TO CO
operate with the officers and make
every negro laborer supporting,
even though it be necessary to make
him laborer upon county or state
property

We boast of being an enlightened
nation, also of our progress and the
spirit of fairness that permeates our
people. We boast of many things
that are ours only i'm the shadow and
not the substance. Very few of us
ever stop 10 think that some of our
customs place a premium on igno-
rance. This is especially noticeable
in the working of our modern jury
system. Let any man sit in the
courts that are disposing of criminal
cases requiring nice distinctions Of
law and right and he viii notice that
there is tendency 10 take the man
on the jury who shows the most
dense ignorance of all matters or cur
rent interest TO the people. In a muir
der case, if any man says that he
has read of the case in question and
knows that il occurred. it is almost
enough TO disqualify him for service.
The man who never reads and never
discusses the happenings of the day
with his neighbors is the man who
is best fitted for jury service. The
practice as it is shown to the people
is one that obviously places a premium
on the man VINO knows nothing. WHO
is to blame for this state Of affairs?
