TWENTIETH DAY.
Senate.

The question of increased school fund
distribution was again up for an airing
today, springing up in the Senate during
the consideration of the common school
fund appropriation bill. The bill as it
came from the committee on appropria-
tons carried the sum of ST. ,000, to
be divided during the two years, 1908
and 1909. When the bill was called up
by Senator Sample shortly after the
opening hour, Senator Adams offered an
amendment increasing the yearly amount
to 81 500, 900, instead of $1,250,00O, and
this started the wordy warfare until the
luncheon hour, during which time the
discussion took wide range.
II. b. 238 was reported favorably by
the finance committee just prior to its
passage, as was S. j. r. by MI. Vance,
chairman of the committee on pensions,
memorializing Congress to apply the cot
ton tax money to the Confederate pen
sion fund.
The Senate sat in executive session for
two hours this afternoon, and it was pre-
sumably for the discussion of nomina-
tions of the executive.
House.
The House session was characterized
by a lively fight over a bill to provide for
an increase of remuneration for members
of boards of supervisors in connection
with the duties and responsibilities that
the law imposes upon them as the official
caretakers and custodians of the public
roads.
The opposition to this measure was
mainly from the rural sections, though
the bill passed eventually by a vote of
~ to AZ. It's further progress was frCs-
trated by a motion to reconsider, entered
by Mr.. Yewell.
The insurance circles were much inter
ested, apparently, as numbers of well
known men in the profession were seen
about the corridors early in the day. The
reason of this was made manifest when
Mr.. Bond, of Lawrence . county, intro
duced a bill in the House to require all
life, fire, accident and casualty insurance
companies doing business in the State
to invest a part of their legal reserve
in local securities, this bill being modelled
after the Texas plan. The eyes of the
world will be focused on Mis-
until the eill is either passed or
killed.

diers and sailors of the Confederacy.

Would Experiment With Rice.

Congressman Humphreys endeavored
TO have the trustees of the ~penitentiary
to plant a hundred or more acres in
Japan rice in the delta as a demonstra.
ton crop, but his efforts were fruitless.
1t seems that an experiment was made
last year and proved a failure, but this
was of upland rice, which is quite a
different matter from Mr.. Humphreys
suggestion. He wants the experiment
made in japan rice, which has proven
SO successful in Louisiana and Texas,
and which the experts in the depart
ment of agriculture insist can be grown
with equal success in the Yazoo delta.

College Dance Spoiled.

At a banquet and dance given at
Starkville by the junior class of the A.
and NJ. college, some miscreants, while
the jewellers were at supper, forced ca
trance into the dancing hall, destroyed
much of the decorations, among which
were two flags, valued at more than
one hundred dollars, and escaped with
several hats and overcoats after spoil
ing the floor for the evenings dance.

To Eradicate the Tick.

One Of the most practical measures
now before the legislature is the bill
to provide for the establishment of q
cattle pest commission. This measure
is the direct outcome CT the gathering
together at Jackson during the State
fair last November of stock raisers
from different parts of the State, who
formed the Mississippi Live Stock
Growers Association. The bill asked
for an appropriation of only $1,000 for
the two years, which viii be augmented
by financial help from the United
States department of agriculture.

 It has frequently been referred to as a piece of progressive legislation and there is a popular impression that much has been accomplished by it, though as a matter of fact little has been attempted that was likely to submit the law to a judicial test.
 A railroad engaged in mining or any other business in competition with one who is not the owner of a rail- road certainly enjoys an advantage over its competitor, but legislation can not be invoked to put all men on the same level, any more than leg isIation can decree that all men shall enjoy the same degree of health and happiness. The most it can do is to make men act fairly toward each oth CT.

THE OPENING CAMPAIGN.

The republicans of Arizona have never had a brighter prospect of vic tory than they now enjoy. With a candidate of the pleasing personality and unblemished record of Ralph Cameron and a campaign under the direction of such an efficient and en- ergetic manager as Hoval A. Smith the most is to be expected.
 The opening of the campaign too, has been effected with judgment The issue is a simple one and the plicate it. The keynote sounded by the speakers last night was statehood which has often been the battle cry when it had no meaning. It is rec ognized now that it is pregnant with meaning. For the first time, we be- lieve Arizona is called upon to make a showing to spur Congress on to execute the pledge made by the Chicago convention to the territories. That that pledge would be executed whether Arizona should be republi- can or democratic, there is no doubt for we know that friends have been made of men who have hitherto op- posed the admission of Arizona
 With us of the territory this is not a partisan matter. To us it makes little difference whether our representative in congress is a repub- lcan or a democrat provided the same result can be secured. But we believe the attitude of many members of the majority in congress will be affected- by the political complexion of the delegate as well as by the personal ity of him.
 The election of MT. Cameron will remove many obstacles and over come many objections and altogether facilitate statehood to the extent of securing admission at the short ses- sion, a thing which would be i'm possible in the face of even slight op- position.
 Therefore, the election of MT. Cam eron is the business of not only the republicans of Arizona but of all voters of the territory, regardless of party, who are weary of the vassalage of which we have complained and who are impatient for a place among the states.

THE DEFEAT OF ANKENY.

The process of overturning things is still going on in the state of Wash ington. The venerable Senator Ank- eny was defeated at the primar- ies of Wednesday for the republican renOminatiOn, as was Governor Mead Senator Ankney though not the most active of senators is regarded as an able one and he certainly is a safe west who stood out against the sil- yer craze in the early nineties and thenceforward until the lunacy of the idea was admitted from ocean to ocean. Since then the face of Senator Ankney has been steadily set against wild and revolutionary legislation. His state as well as the whole coun- try profited by his course. That com mOnwealth was given a reputation for conservatism and solidity which in vited the favorable attention of those who build up states and develop re- sources.
 Yet it strangely happened that Washington and Oregon were among the first to yield to the revived doc trines of what was despised as popu- lism less than a dozen years ago. It was inevitable that Senator Ankney who had grown too old to change his 'manner of thinking should be dis placed by some man of the hour, as Ingalls, of Kansas was displaced by Peffer whose whiskers alone have giv- en him a place in the history of his coutnry.

That the commodity clause of the rate law would be found to be un- constitutional once that it was sub mitted to supreme test was declared frequently during the consideration of the bill in the United States sen ate. There is little doubt that the bill will be found invalid in other respects when the searchlight of the courts is turned upon it.
