those days and his experience in
bringing Copeland to justice and his
execution for his diabolical crimes
furnishes true story that rivals in
interest the most fascinating books
of modern fiction. The history of the
men. the extent of their operations,
their influence and blood thirsty rec
ord, is so graphically told that there
is not line that is not interesting.
The book has been we'll Illustrated

: Esteem of Law Made Rome Great.
Starksville Gazette.

Starksville Gazette.
PROFESSIONALLY. more than any
thing else, the quality that made the
Roman great was regard for law. He
could make law and obey law; and
because he could, he won dominion
over ten thousand tribes who lacked
this power. From his very Infancy,
be learned obedience to authority,
and he grew up with a regard for
law and order that made him 'uler
of the world. Master of himself, he
became master of every. tribe that
had not learned the ancient lesson of
obedience and restraint: for always
the mob must 90 down before the
onslaught of disciplined troops, and
always the people wo give way to
mob rule must surrender to the peo-
pie who unfiinchingly render unto
Caesar the things that are Caesars. ,
More loudly then than about any
thing else does Rome speak to us in
appeal for respect for law, the rock
on which she built her greatness
and it is lesson that we in this day
of lynching, nfght-riding, and mob
outbreaks shall do we'll to take to
heart.

A Wanderer.
Bury the town croaker, in the woods
in beautiful hole in the ground,
where the woodpecker pecks and the
humble bee buns and the straddle
bug straddles around. He is no good
to the city push; too impractical,
stingy and dead, but he wants the
whole earth and al: of its crust and
the stars that shine overhead. Then
hustle him off to the bundle bees
roost and bury him deep in the
ground; he's no use here, get him
out of the way, and make room for
the man that is sound.

THE STATE REF0RMATORY.

We have been trying to find time
every since the late agitation to thai
end, to say that this paper highly
tavors the establishment of State
Reformatory. We consider it one O.
the urgent needs of every Common
wealth IN an institutional way, and
believe the interests of society and
state are always strongly advanced
by the early provision for such an
institution in the career of each
newly fedged state. Of course il
takes time for strife to set agoing
the many institutions dependent
upon its bounty and espionage, and
there is wisdom in this gradual pro-
cess of calling them into existence,
but we fear that in some Instances,
other Institutions could be better
delayed than this one which has for
its aim the reclamation of errant
youth, ofttimes gone astray through
parental neglect. The larger per-
centage of the candidates for the re-
formatories come under this head.
There are some naturally that de-
PRAYED, that environment of home
life is not sufficient even under good
conditions to tame them, and it re-
quires the strong hand of the state
with its trained and kindly corps of
workers and teachers to correct the
young depraved mind. Nthers have
deformities of the skull that need
surgical operation to remove the
wrong mental bent. Two instances
OF youthful depravity in Greene
Cotnty last year emphasizes the
necessity right here at home for
some means of retaining such chill
dren, and we are bound TO admit that
the penetentiary is too severe for
them for there they associate with
hardened criminals and only absorb
more deviltry instead of throwing
off that already acquired, for our
penitentiary system as at it's present
stage does but little to make pen
itents, but rather stresses the pun
ishment side. Lets have the refor-
matory in Mississippi and that. I'M
der the best management that
money can attract. A copy of the
Juvenile Reformatory Bill which
came so near being enacted into law
at the last term of the Legislature.
has been furnished us by its author
Mr.. Jas. r. Mcdonnell. This bill
was favorably reported by the COM
mittee and stood next 90. the calen-
dar, and had it not been for lack of
time before adjournment would have
been written into the Statutory law
OF Mississippi. The Governor, so
LIS author informs les, has promised
10 open the way for its passage at |
the session to be held next Winter
and il would no doubt be among one
Of the first bills to be passed by the
Solons. The bill provides for the
separation of races "a bugaboo pre-
Viously in the way OF such leglslation) |
Ind for the parole system proving so
successful in a number of states to a
certain class of children put in the
'eformatory. 1t also carried with 1t
rise industrial training provisions.
30 far as we can see the bill seems to
% be about what's desired, possibly |
: may receive some slight alterations. i
