FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT.

It is failing with most people to
want something they haven't and to
lack in full appreciation of the things
they have. That is true in large
measure with our prohibition friends.
They spend all their energies reaching
out after new laws and pay little at
tention to the enforcement of laws al
ready on the statute books. The News
it not opposed to constitutional pro-
hibition; neither is The News afraid
of the present laws being repealed;
and until they are repealed they are
just as good as if they were written
in the constitution. What the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union.
and all other temperance organiza-
lions and workers ought to do, is TO
ask for stronger and more radical en-
forcement clauses in the laws they
have. What Mississippi needs very
much more than it does constitutional
prohibition, is Law Enforcement.
The Federal government can send
Officers into any of the states to ar
rest any violator Of the Internal Rev
enue laws. Why should not the Gov
bernor of State have the power to
send state officers into any town or
county to arrest any violator of any
state law? There may be constitu-
tional inhibition to that, and If so
there is where the constitution needs
correcting. If the governor had the
power and authority to employ secret
service men to hunt out and run down
every boot-legger and blind-tiger in
the state, and to lay the heavy hand

COLLECTING A DEBT
QUICK WORK BY A WOMAN ON A
BROADWAY CAR.
She Made Change for a SIS Bill and
Retained $3.50 Which Was Ow-
ing to Her by the Other
Passenger.

OF collecting debts there are many
ways, but undoubtedly one of the most
novel, on record was tried in Broad
way car in New York the other day.
A well-dressed woman came into the
car at Nineteenth street. When the
conductor called for her fare she gave
him q five-dollar bill. He put the
usual question about smaller change,
and she gave him the usual negative
reply. The situation was unpleasant
for both, especially for the conductor.
Obviously she was such a fine lady
that to put her off the car for non
payment of fare would be equivalent
to inviting his own downfall, and he
could not afford to risk that He

eyes, but those unchivalrous strap
hangers were Injured to the woes of

The woman got nervous. What

ductor.
. He sounded several people on the
subject. but they proved to be short
of funds themselves that day and
could not accommodate them. Pres
emily woman up near the front
of the car took a hand in the pro-
ceedings.

said
At the sound of her voice the own
er of the fve-dolar bill turned with
a startled look and blushed deeply.
You need not bother about the
| chang" she said to the conductor Il
believe I'll get off at the next corner,
anyway"
The conductor said: Very well,
and reached out his hand for the bel,
but the second woman had already
tucked it into her pocketbook and had
counted out so cents in nickels and
dimes.

The conductor looked from one wom-
on to the other helplessly.

She knows better than to raise a

L He rendered the so cents to the
well gowned woman. She picked as

RICE IN MISSISSIPPI.

On the plantation of the Hon.
Charles Scott in Mississippi, an ex-
pertinent was made in the growing of
rice this year.
The rice has been harvested
The experiment was carefully
watched by experts of the United
States Government and they are more
than gratified with the result.
The rice produced at the average of
90 bushels per acre.
This is an extraordinary yield.
Mr.. SCOTS land is the ordinary
Delta soil and what was done on that
plantation can be done or any planta-
ton in the Delta.
The rice exhibit at the Delta Fair.
held at Greenville was carefully stud
led by number of planters, and they
were so impressed by it that many of
them will begin the cultivation of rice
next year.
If proper methods are used the ex-
pertinent can not be a failure.-Mem-

THE NEWEST LADY.
A Profession For ciris That Is Hoults
EnqIish, You Know"

The lady nurse" Is the newest Eng.
lish profession for girls. They already
have "lady cooks oyer there, and
"lady writer's and elady typists.r but
the "1ady nurse is a novelty.
The chief advantage of the lady
nurses position, explains n advocate
of the new profession, Is that the nee
essary training Is short-one year
and the career long"
Girls al begin directly upon leaving
school and If really suited to the work
will find little difficulty In obtaining a
position on account of their youthful
ness. Thus at least two years time
and expense are saved, perhaps more,
for even after prolonged training in
some professions girls are still viewed
doubtfully as too young" for the work
they have chosen. Then, a nurse may
continue at her post longer than most
people-indeed, as long as she is able
for the duties are not exhausting, and
an elderly nurse can always command
assistance, consideration and numer-
Jus privileges. :,
This is all from the point of view Of
the workers, but there are the employ
ers, too, surely deserving of considera-
ton. Last, but not least, there are the
children. 1t must be obvious that all
three classes concerned benefit by the
existence and increase of laS nurses,
and the day is near when allss ignorant
girl will no longer be considered a At
companion and guide for childhood.
when training and even culture will
be recognized to be every bit as i'm
portant In the nursery as In the school
room. The opening for lady nurses
Is undoubtedly one to which many wo-
men will have to fly as other profess
sions grow increasingly difficult. Here
is one which no one will dare to wish
to wrest from us, even during tbir
heated warfare over women's work
what 1t is and what 1t shouldn't be.
There has not yet arisen a voice
amid the many strange assertions to
declare that the care of children fails
to come within the sphere of cult
waited women-if not the care of u
W little ones, then that of other
peoples.
1t doesn't sound like a cheerful ca
reer, but from all accounts no pro-
fessional woman in England from the
tlady help" to the downtrodden and
much novelized ~governess enjoys a
very cheerful existence.
