What The Legislature Should Do.

There are many things that the legislature,

any things suggested that * should not attempt
do.
AZ 1t should make provision to give South Miss
Sppi representation III the Legislative branch of
state government in proportion to its population.
constitutional amendment looking to this end
erld be one OF the first things to engage the at

A law should be passed eXempting money loan

this, the statue should provide that when money

THE SOCIETY WORLD

|[-On Wednesday evening OF last
week. a very pretty wedding" took
place at the court house when Master
Tom Thumb and Miss Jennie June
were firmly fastened by the iron
bands of paddock; quite a large and
representative number of Grenada's
fairest lassieS and most gallant lads
took part either as spectators or as
actual participants 10 the ceremony.
The entertainment was under the
auspices of the Episcopal Church and
was a decided success in a fina3cisl as
we'll as in a social way.
Special mention should be made of
the dignlfied manner in which Master
Price James carried out his irving
part Of Tom Thumb and also what a
charming Jennie June dear little
Anita Smith proved to be while the
robes OF a minister never fell on
more appropriate shoulders than
those OF Frederick Trout, however,
each child played their part so well
that 1t would be a hard task, in
deed. to pick out the best.
After the wedding there was a
most successful comedy enacted by
members Of the older Set in which
all the actors showed decided his
trionic ability.
between the acts there were sew
eral songs and readings which fully
demonstrated the fact that the chill.
dren are well up to the standard set,

de-rol. 1t is the NOW we want to deal with.
In a free country like ours, laws are supposed to be
enacted tor the greatest good to the greatest num-
Der. The biggest part of the people need more
money-they ha emit got it to loan. The man
that drifts upon a rock in mid-ocean does not quib-
BILE about what he rides ashore on. The man OF
little means is paying more than his share of the
tax burdens of the state. He needs help.
The primary election law needs amendment.
The mode of conducting a primary election IS hxed
bv statute vet the courts are impotent to see that
the primaries arc honestly conducted. The
courts should have power to take judicial cognizance
of irregularities. Further, some effort should be
made to lessen The cost of holding a primary to the
candidates. In our judgment, the counties should
paw for the printing of the ballots and the other
necessary expense of the election. 1t is almost
to the point now that a poor man is precluded from
a canvass fora state office.
Some radical 'novations are needed
in the criminal statutes, and the procedure
of our courts in trying criminal cases.
The state bar association has made sundry recon-
mendations along this line that the Legislature would
do well to seriously consider. Certainly the
state should be given a freer hand in the prosecu-
ton of criminals. Much of the monkey dust IN
the selection of iuries to try capital cases should
be brushed aside.
The legislature should not create any more
nor increase salaries. There is a foolish
abroad in the land to increase everything
that is anywise Connected with the public treasury.
Taxes are heavy and the people are not in a con-
to have the tax g%atherer reach still further
down into their pockets.
We would counsel a close scrutiny OF the APP
propriations asked tor by the educational institu-
tons of the state. If those connected with these
institutions lcck horns and make a united swoop on
the legislature, they should be aroused to a new
realization of the source of power and made to know
that the people of Mississippi will not tolerate the
fostering OF pets. In some OF these schools
there are students that belong in the puolic schools.
Let the heads of these schools deny it and we will
prove it. We have been told that this had
ceased to be but we find that somebody has spoken
1t costs the state a great deal more
to paw tuition in one of the colleges than IN III one
of its public schools. Let the state be less lavish
in show, and perhaps a little more generous in deal
ing with some of the eleemosynary institutions in
her midst where the afflicted are kept.
The public schools should be literally cared
for. This is the place where those are educated
and trained that are without means to go lsewhere.

EXAMINATION SOON
FOR CENSUS AGENTS
Duties of Men Who Will Collect
Statistics Will Be Many
and Varied.

DR.. Victor s. Clark win be aided in
his work of collecting the census sta
tisties of Hawaii nei by a large corps
of assistants, the greater part of whom
have already made application for entry
in the civil service examinations. All
applications were supposed to have been
made by the twenty fifth and those who
are excused from taking the practical
tests are those who have had previous
experience IN the work.
Applications viii be accepted from
women having the required experience
and education, but the opportunity for
their employment in this work is slight,
and but few, if any, such appointments
win be made.
General Census Director Durand, in
instructions. states that generally
speaking, the duties of special agents
will consist in obtaining, in person,
from manufacturing establishments and
mines and quarries. the statistics re-
ouired by law, as indicated in the print
ed schedules with which they will be
furnished. These statistics cover in
westment, quantity and value of prod
ncts and of raw materials used, num-
Der of employees and their wages, char
acter and quantity of power, etc.
Honolulu is the only place in Hawaii
where examinations will be held, and

FISH PEDDLERS
ARE ARRESTED
But CelestiaIs Say They Are
Exempt by Act of the
Legislature.

The arrest by the police yesterday
Of fourteen Chinese. who were booked
at the station on the charge of having
violated Act GO Of the Session Laws
of 1907, BY reason of having sold fish
without license, raises a question as
to the Interpretation Of the act men
toned. The Chinese and their attor-
ney. E. \. Douthltt. claim that no
license Is required by law for the sale
Of fish. The fish Inspector of the
county treasurer : office. vino was in
strunental IN having the Chinese ar
rested, claims that, although no license
is required to peddle fish from house
to house or through the streets. IL
cense Of i've dollars is provided for
for selling fish in a store, stall or
fixed place of business. If the conten.
ton of the Inspector is right. it Ger,
tainly indicates an oversight on the
part Of the legislature of 1907.
One section of Act SO Of the Session
Laws of 1907 provides for the coilec-
ton of a general merchandise license
of S25 for the sale of merchandise in
of $50 for peddling. The next section
exempts peddlers of fish, fresh fruits
and vegetables from the payment of
any license.
The Chinese arrested, however, were
not peddlers, but sell their fish at the
market OF course, they have paid no
license fees. There is no question but
that, If they had been selling their
nsh from door to door or hawking it
through the streets in wagons, they
would be exempt from the payment of
a license. But the county treasurer s
office, by the fish inspector, contends
that as they were selling at fixed
place of business, they are liable for
a license fee. This, Notwithstanding
the fact that the previous section of
the act indicates that the legislature
though much larger fee should be
required from peddlers than from deal
ers having a fixed place of business,
But although the act specifically
exempts from license fee the sale of
fish by peddlers, it does not in so many
words exempt storekeepers from the
payment of a fish license.
The case will be tried out in the
courts, and, as is usual in such eases.
will probably go up to the higher
courts on question of constitution
atty. unless it is decided in favor OF
the defendants in some Of the lower
courts.
