Never before were the colors of carni-

bravely with the generous national col

True Fiesta Spirit
There is to be blood in the Portola
festival of next week that was quick
and rapturous in the days of 80 Odd
years ago. when fiesta was the profess
sion of California, and commerce but a
seorned intrusion.
1t flows in the veins of Don Nicolas
Covarrubias. the modern presentiment
of Don Gaspar de Portola. captain OF
dragons and discoverer of San Fran
cisco bay. Don Nicolas blood Is as
eager for festivity as it was in the
days when he was lusty young hero
of the iestas of the mission settlements.
The presence of Don Nicolas in the
celebration of the discovery of San
Francisco bay and the rehabilitation Of
San Francisco is going TO make the
Portola festival most picturesque of
all the affairs held in the state in the
days since the Yankee came to domi-
nate San Franchises celebration will
be the gayest carnival of modern his
tory, gayest because there will be the
most people TO make merry. and the
merriment will be most infectious.

A STATE REFORMAToRY.

Meridian Dispatch.
When Gov. Noel names the things
that he wants considered at the bien-
NAL session of the State Legislature,
he should not fail to include a reform
atory school for youthful criminals.
If there is a newspaper in the en-
tire State Of Mississippi that opposes
such measure, it hasn't fallen un.
der the notice of the Dispatch.
Really, if there is an individual in
the state who opposes it that individ-
ual has given no public reason for it.
1t is no experiment. States all over
the Union are adopting it.
The State of Mississippi has prac
tical demonstration of what one good
woman, Miss Emily Butt, could do
this summer when she spent her va
cation teaching class of young white
boys, yet in their teens. and the good
progress she has made.
The State of Mississippi had rather
make good men out of her boys than
criminals out of them.
1t is the duty of the State to make
some effort to reclaim youthful crimi-
nails, and it is understood that Gov.
Noel strongly entertains this opinion,
as did his predecessor, ex-Gov. Var
daman.
When defining the powers of the
special session of the Legislature,
Gov. Noel should not omit this impor-
tant feature. 1t will be one of the
browning acts of his administration
and will receive the cordial support
of the people of the State.

We insist that so far as we can see,
when a man in prohibition territory
is caught under the influence of liquor,
he should be made to tell where he
got it. If he is caught with stolen
goods on his person he is made to re-
member how he got them. Why, if
he is caught with contraband whiskey
in his person, should he not be made
to account for that? There is too
much whiskey being drunk in this
town. Any mans nose can testify to
that. Where does it come from? Who
sells it? Those who drink it to ex-
cess, and become entangled in the
foils of the law. ought to be locked
up until their memory gets in good
working order

DANGER OF TOO
ATTRACTIVE PRISONS.

Magnolia Gazette.
In Mississippi, especially, our large
negro population warns us thai We
must not make our prisons too at
tractive; else they will be congo ted
with trifling negroes. The point is
effectively illustrated by Lieut.. Gov.
Manship, who tells a story of an old
negro nanny whose son, George,
was sent to the penitentiary for hog
stealing. On her first visit to him
she anticipated finding her boy half
fed, almost naked and his body a
mass of welts and bruises. To her
delighted surprise she saw his physi-
cal condition perfect, his clothing
comfortable, and his general situa-
ton, as far as bodily desires go, en-
tirely satisfactory. Her delight was
thus expressed to the penitentiary
warden! "Ah, 'clar' TO Gawd, boss Ise
nebber seed dat niger dom so well
in all oh his life befo'. Ise goin' right
back home, is, an send my tudder
boy, Jim, up hyar. Jim, he hain't got

WHIPPING CONVICTS.

We"son Enterprise.
w. A. Montgomery, trustee of the
prison farms, is taking an active pa,
in the movement now being agitated
to abolish and prohibit the practice
of whipping the convicts. Col. Mont
gOmery has been in conference with
Gov. Noel on the subject, and has
urged the Governor to make recon-
mendations to the Legislature on the
subject The Governor has made no
public statement, but is understood
to favor the adjustment of corporal
punishment, and it is practically GER
tain that he will ask the Legislature
20 take some decisive action
The penitentiary employees who
have charge of working the convicts
are strongly opposed to the move
ment, and say that they know of no
humane method of making a refract-
DRY convict work other than the ap-
plication of the lash. They assert
that it is not necessary to be cruel
or brutal in whipping a convict, and
that it is seldom necessary to in
flict such punishment more than
once; the mere threat is generally
sufficient without a second applca-
ton. To all such objections the adj
vocates of adjustment of the lash
custom reply that the humiliation and
loss of self-respect incident to such
a degradation are too much to pay
for the loss of a days work, and that
the State cannot afford to destroy the
manhood of a prisoner who is ex-
pected to be given another chance to
redeem himself.

MATURE FAKER" AT CAPITOL
White House Guard Tells Story of a
Squirrel Which May Be
DisbeIieved.

Washington.-Wer it not for the
fact that nature taking in and
around the White House is supposed
to have received a death blow several
years ago, the experience of one of
the blue-coat guardians of the execu-
tive mansion might be disbelieved by
some.
One of the squirrels which long be-
fore the present administration be-
gan played about among the big trees
and over the fine green lawn in front
of the White House, according to the
policemen, kept running up to him
and then scampering away. AS he re-
fused peanuts, the officer could not
make out what he wanted.
Finally, the officer says, he noticed
that every time the squirrel ran away
from him the little fellow would make
for water spigot in the grass and
jump up at it as if trying to turn the
handle. This gave the officer his cue.
With Sherlock Holmes instinct he
turned on the water which was exact
ly what the dumb creature wanted.

"WoULD PRODUCE
TAXABLE WEALTH."

Vicksburg American
The Natchez Chamber of COM
merce would exempt mortgage loans
from taxation by the state, claiming
that such action keeps out investors
and frightens away capital, and urges
on the Governor and Legislature the
necessity for exempting all money on
hand and that loaned at per cent o.
less, and all instruments in writing
evidencing and securing such liens.
The existing laws on the subject are
condemned for the reasons that they
are a burden on the borrower, who
really pays the tax in higher rate
of interest; that they drive from the
State capital which is needed for the
development of its resources; that
they work to the advantage of non
resident lenders, who escape taxa
ton; that they result, in effect, in
double taxation, of which the Dor

THOSE JACKSON
BLIND TIGERS

Jackson Clarion Ledger.
1t seems impossible to convict blind
tigers under the present law.
Jackson is known to be honey
combed with blind tigers, many OF
which are run by negro women who
make that a business. 1t is well
known that a dozen or more negro
women are running blind tigers in
Jackson openly. Some of them have
been indicted, the beer and whisky
found on their premises, the result OF
raids by officers, but under the law
they cannot be convicted unless an
actual sale is proven.
The law should be changed so that
there could be convictions. The find
ing of liquors around doubtful places
should be sufficient to convict any
person, for no person will have them
around unless for blind-tiger pur-
poses.
The next Legislature should take
this matter up and thrash out the
law till a bill is gotten through that
will enable courts and juries to convict

have lacked the opportunity in his
youth, and he feels it; and because
he sees the children of his neigh

will go where he can get it, if he can

his children. There is no telling
what the lack of schools has cost the
South. 1t has been the cause of
thousands and tens of thousands of
people leaving the South; it has pre-
vented even a greater number from
coming to the South. 1t has cost

ing the most complete system of

Mississippi.
We do not mean ANY mere make-be-

fake advertising of what we have not.
But we do mean if Hattiesburg would
take long stride and spend much
more money than it is spending for
the public schools. and create and de-
serve the reputation of having a bat
ter system and a higher curriculum
and more thorough preparation in
their public schools than can be OBJ |
tanned anywhere else in Mississippi
it would be the one greatest thing |
that could h done for this city.
1t would not only pay the property |
owners who pay the taxes, but it |
would pay the town by building it up
rapidly, and, what should always be
taken into consideration, it would in
vte the character of people worth
having.

cational advantages, and another town
famous for its sports and wide-open
privileges, and we will show you in
the first town a citizenship so far SUI
perior to that in the last that any
comparison would be ridiculous.
We do not think the city council
and the Commercial Club could do
better than to boost the public schools
of Hattiesburg. But it ought to be
money boost, and not hot air boost.
