Time Limit Prevents.

1t therefore appears. that, taking
into consideration the fact that the
session is a special one, with the
time limit thirty days unless extend
ed by the Governor; that the Govern
or himself has said that he will not
let down the bars for the considera-
ton of any and all subjects; that rev.
enue and appropriation bills will have
the right of way at all times;
that the present statutory pro
hibition law seems to be working
very satisfactorily-consi all
these thing, it is a safe hazard that
constitutional prohibition will not be
largely in the limelight when the law
makers come to Jackson in January,
and the possibility of getting a special
submitted for adoption by
the people is exceedingly remote.
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1909-10-16
Another Obstacle.

Another obstacle in the way of the
enactment of a concurrent resolution
specifically submitting prohibition
for adoption as a part of the organic
law is the fact that a fight will be
made to secure. constitutional con-
vention, and the friends of this
movement will naturally oppose the
submission of any special amend
ments, contending that the question
can be settled when a constitutional
convention is held Incidentally
they will endeavor to persuade the
advocates of constitutional prohibit
ton to join in with them in securing
this convention, but if the prohibit
tionists persist in asking for the sub
mission of their own particular
amendment, they will encounter a
lively opposition from the convention
advocates who control about two-fifths
of the votes in both houses or enough
to insure certain defeat for constitu-
tional prohibition.

time, considered reflections upon the

Obstacles In Way Of Considering
Constitutional Amendment
at Special Session.
Special 10 the News.

Special 10 the NeWs.
JACKSON Miss, October 15.-Al-
though the Womans Christian Temp
erance Union of Mississippi, at its re-
cent annual convention held in Port
Gibson, went on record as favoring
the launching of campaign for con-
stitutional prohibition at the approach
ing legislative session, prohibition
leaders in this city acknowledge
that there are number of obstacles
in the way of such a movement, and
express serious doubt whether con-
sideration can be secured.
The first obstacle pointed out is the
TACT that the gathering in January
viii be a special session, intended
primarily for the consideration of
revenue and appropriation bills, and
such other subjects as the Governor
may see fit to recommends that its
calenders will no doubt be crowded
with measures relating to the states
finances, and the constitution per-
mits the lawmakers to remain in ses-
sion only thirty days unless the time
is extended by the Governor; that
the present statutory prohibition law
will have. been in effect but one year
at the time the legislature
convenes, and as it has prov
en- in practical operation far
more effective in counties that were
formally wet" than it's most ardent
friends expected, it would be wise to
let well enough alone, and at least
see if statutory prohibition cannot
be made equally as effective as
constitutional measure.
