Newton, May 81, 1907. Editor
Ciarion-Ledger: i see that Hon. w,
X. Denton, Of Lauderdale county, is
being suggested for Commissioner
OF Agriculture, and wish TO add my
endorsement to the suggestion.
Bill Denton has served his county
in the legislature for many years,
and served it well. lie makes no
pretense to style or greatness, but
has as much horse sense as any
man in the state. He is a practical
farmer and stock raiser, and knows
the difference between beans and
barley, cross and registered stock,
and can tell You how to plant and
cultivate agricultural products, how
to prepare aud preserve land, raise
both billy goats and jackasses, fruits
and flowers, In fact, he is qualified
for the position as defined in the
law, and his farmer friends, who
feel that a practical farmer should
be at the head Of the agricultural
department, are urging him to be-
come a candidate, and if he does
they propose TO elect him, and have
at least one representative in the
state gsernment. HAY SEED.

This office was created for

SOME 4fDtD LEGISLATION.

The Meridian Star makes some
timely suggestions as TO needed leg.
islation at the hands OF the next
State legislature, which we repro.
duce and most heartily indorse.
The Commonwealth recommends.
in addition to the Stars wise sug.
gestions, that the Law relating TO the
appointment Of trustees Of the State
University and the 4. & NJ College
be so amended that only graduates
Of these institutions will be eligible
10 appointment as trustees:
THE questions that the next leg
islatare Of Mississippi will be called
upon 10 deal with will be largely
economic, growing out Of the pro-
cesSes Of development now going
forward within the State, and il is
hoped that men Of brains and
breadth Of view will be chosen for
that work. Mississippi has no CON
spicious abuses to reform, her Grim
inal laws are ample enough and
there is little in the way Of law max
ing needed beyond measures ad-
dressed to the States economic re-
quirements.
Primarily, equality Of taxation is
demanded and a State board Of
equalization Of assessments ought to
be established to secure this. A
more equitable distribution Of the
school fund ought to be provided
for, even II a constitutional amend
mcnt is necessary TO accomplish
this.
But there are other economic
propositions that ought to be con
sldcred, and where necessary, issues
made Of them in the campaign now
on.
First, State repositories should
be created for all public funds; and
the peoples money kept in circula.
ton for their benefit instead of be
ing locked up in a vault at the State
house.
Second, all money loaned at six
per cent. or less should be exempt
from taxation for the prospecting of
enterprise and industry.
Third, the whole system Of priv
taxes ought to be revised and
most OF the schedule abolished.
Fourth, a law regulating the en-
ployment of children in factories
be passed.
Fifth, a State reformatory for
law breakers ought to be
established.
There are many minor details Of
revenue and taxation that may de- I
nand attention; but the measures ,
lere cited are the larger needs that
he Legislature is competent to meet i
md they ought not to be ignored or {
postponed" I

got more than its proportion owing to the
fact that many of the immigrants 229
entered through the port of Boston.
The western sections of the United States
are crying for labor. There is more labor
wanted in the fields of the south, and the
bulk Of the present wave of immigration
is from southern Europe, where the con-
dtions are approximately the same as are
found in the south and southwest. The
distribution Of immigration is a very diff
cult problem to handle. There is no law
to compel the immigrant to move on after
he is once admitted, and the tendency is
for them to stick close to where they are
dumped from the steamer. Many of them
have the money and inclination to go
farther when they first land. but are de-
tered Through ignorance. There are
number of sharpers who make a living
through catching the new arrivals when
they land In New York and selling them
scent subway ticket to Harlem for s., with
the assurance that Harlem is several hun
dred miles off.

play in good weather. Part Of this is COW
cred with an awning from the heat of the
sun in summer and the rest is open roof.
The children are under the care of num-
Der of matrons and nurses regularly en-
ployed by the government. The nurses speak
between them everything under the, sun
from English to Arabic. with a sprinkling
Of Yiddish, Russian. Italian and low Dutch.
Such languages as French and German are
too common to cause comment.
The immigrant children probably have
the best time of their lives in the nursery.
They are given all that is good for them
to eat. from nursing bottles to apple pie,
according to age and inclination. They
are bathed and scrubbed when they need
It, which they usually do. and they have
such toys probably they have never
run across before. The government of the
United States a purveyor of. toy ex-
press wagons and tricycles is rather a new
aspect even of this paternaiistic institu-
ton. but these are provided for the i'm
migrant children in fair quantity. There
are balls of all sorts and sizes. mostly
painted red. white and blue. There are
many flags and the children are taught
what the flag means and given good
start toward remembering 1t an emblem
OF good. Even the express wagons are
named periodically. One is lettered on the

sent from home in Italy and Greece to be,
the little slaves of padrone musicians and
shoe blacks. 1t is hard to convict the man
ayers of this child slave traffic. but there
Is a provision in the new immigration law
against the admission of children under
fourteen unless accompanied by parents or
guardians or unquestionably consigned to
responsible parties of this sort in the United
States.
One Of the most serious phases Of the i'm
migration problem that the authorities are
confronted with, and this applies particu-
larly to the immigrants who are accom-
panied by children, Is that the tendency is
to settle in the big cities of the north rather
than to go into the country where their
work Is wanted and where they would be
welcomed, enabled to earn a good living
and rear their children under healthful con-
ditions. The records show that over 80 per
cent Of the immigrants came with the
avowed intention of stopping either in New
York. Pennsylvania, New Jersey. Della
ware or Massachusetts. The latter state

The children Of the immigrants naturally
settle with their parents. and If they could
be induced to spread out TO the farms OF
the south and m dde ives. they would grow
up better citizens and stronger mentally and
ply sically than when they are reared in the
crowded tenement quarters of the cities.
From a philosophical standpoint there is
more need to rescue and care for the chill
dren than there Is for the mature people.
But to all appearances this can only be
done by educational work among the new
arrivals and by good men and women who
are interested in such work arranging big
excursion parties of the new arrivals from
New York to points in the interior. Some
of the southern states are seriously con-
sidering the possibility of importing immi-
grants to their own territory from the sea-
board. but this movement has been rather
handicapped by the decision of the Depart
ment of Justice on the rights OF the states
to assist immigration. So ii looks as though
the problem would be left to be solved by
private philanthropy.

sorts. They know Little Red Riding

enough these folk tales. In more or less
recognizable shape, are part Of the uni
versal child heritage, and Jack and the

Welsh, German or Spanish. OF course, Mr..
Barring Gould has written very learned
book on the subject Of the myths of the
middle ages, but II he were to come to
Ellis Island he would find nurses who knew
all his stories in more forms than he has
told them and in more languages. 1t
would make a very interesting field for
study this comparative folk lore as exem-
plified in the Ellis Island nursery.
More curious still is the fact that many
of the child's games are to be found in al
most identical form in the different races.
