REPEAL THE LAW.

The reference in our editorial col
umns yesterday, regarding the injus-
tice of the law of New York, limiting
the New York Life Insurance Company
to a certain amount of business may
be appreciated when we remind our
readers that The New York Life is a
mutual company and that any limita-
ton placed upon the prosperity of the
company is detrimental to each policy
holder and when it is known that this
state has $4,000 policy holders insur-
ed for over $27.O00,O0O it can be more
readily understood why the repeal of
this law is the concern Of all the peo-
pie of Mississippi for such vast in
terests indirectly affect everybody in
the commonwealth. AS we have pre-
viously said, the State of New York
can only regulate insurance companies
in their own state or doing business
in the state and such a law only puts
premium on wild cat insurance as
irresponsible companies, organized I'M
der the laws of other states will thrive
because a great company like the New
York Life is limited in its capacity
for doing business, for no good rea-
son. 1t would be just as reasonable
to say that great railway system,
which had spent years to perfect it's
road bed, install safety devices, and
provide equipment to handle an I'M
limited number of passengers, should
not profit by such careful foresight,
but should be restricted to hauling
half the number of passengers that
could be handled safely and econo-
mically.
1t is easy to understand that with
the change in conditions, governing
the management of insurance compan-
les, many things We're found which |
seemed to constitute a menace to the |
policy holders interests, but which |
were misunde God by both lawmak- |
ers and pclics FOLDERS, and now that
1t has been denc1 trated that this re-
striction is nc only ros needed but
is unwise and unjust, the law should
be repealed

NEW EXPRESSIONS NEEDED.

1t has been customary for temper
ance lecturers and prohibition speak
ers generally, to attribute all the
crimes and woes of the human race
to the sale and consumption of whis-
key, but with the late record of killings
in Mississippi, reformers will have to
find some new expression or some
new reason for the crimes an woes
of the world. If there is any state in
the Union where the prohibitory law
is any where near enforced it is in
Mississippi, yet this state with no
large cities and a widely distributed
population naturally more free from
the use of Intoxicating liquors. than
the population of the large cities, has
a record of killings which will double
discount any city in England or the
Continent, having the same population
and where the sale of liquors are prac-
tically unrestricted. This record when
placed before the people Of the United
States, will put the advocates Of Pro.
hibition on the defensive and will
place upon them the burden Of pro-
posing Some remedy for the prodigal
waste of life that has occurred in
Mississippi in the past two years.

THE ONLY WAY.
Vicksburg Herald.

Vicksburg Herald.
A recent press account explained
how some of the 18th section pine
land lessees would circumvent the re.
cent Supreme Court decision, which
decided that these lands can only be
cut over by way of clearing them for
cultivation. As stated, the lessees in
question will induce farmer immi-
grants to settle on their 10th section
holdings and clear them for that pur-
pose; the timber lessee receiving the
logs, it would be well for the state and
the counties interested, if all their
10th sections could be thus utilized.
1t would expedite and make certain
the only possible way by which such
lands can ever be made profitable.

He also suggested that the mother or

shows fear at night in the dark, say
