GOVERNOR IS
TURNED DOWN
Appropriations Committee Refused to
Listen to Him on Military
Matters.

Special to The NeiCS.
jackson, Miss, Feb. 1.-THE refus-
al of the house committee on appro-
priations to allow Governor Noel to
appear before that body Wednesday
afternoon in behalf OF the military
appropriation bill is a subject of very
lively discussion among members OF
the legislature, and some of the law
makers are emphatic in their declara-
ton that the governor was discourse
ously treated by a majority of the
committee.
When the military bill was brought
up for consideration several officers
of the Mississippi National Guard, in
GLIDING Adjutant General Fridge,
Judge Advocate GeneralE. H. Scudder,
and Lieutenant Edgar Coffey, retired
of the United States army, were per.
mitted to appear before the commit
tee. During the discussion the state
ment was made that Governor Noel
had expressed a desire to personally
appear before the committee and
make statement in regard to the
needs of the National Guard, a sub
ject in which he has always shown
a very keen interest.
This is the first time on record, so
far as can be learned, that the COVER
nor of the state has been denied the
privilege of appearing before a COM
mittee to discuss a measure in which
he felt a personal interest.
The military appropriation bill was
given thorough treatment with the
pruning knife at yesterdays session
If the committee. The friends OF
he National Guard, however, are not
discouraged over the action of the
body, which was fully anticipated,
md are forming plans to make a
light for proper recognition of their
reeds when the bill comes before the
louse.

man as Patterson. Patterson is per-
haps the most INSCRIPTIONS, design.
and, selfish, unprincipled politician in
Tennessee. Howse is just loud, ig-
norant, boisterOus, profane, flashy fell
low, who makes no pretense to morals
or believing in moral laws, or obed-
fence to moral laws, or to the en-
forcement Of moral laws. He is an
officious sort of an individual; of
splendid physique and, barring the
lack of intellectually in his face,
rather good looking. He thinks he
is better looking than he is, and he is
one of the kind whose faces are al
ways seen in public places" He is
open, candid. essertive and courage
GUS; he has convictions and the cour-
age of his convictions. Hence it is
that everybody in Nashville knows
Hilary Howse, and the character of
man he is, and that all his life, since
his majority he has run with the law
less set and opposed all moral reform
legislation. And when he announced
his candidacy everybody knew and
everybody said, eff he is elected the
town will be run wide open; there
will be no sham about it; Hilary will
just open her wide and let her CO."
And then they went to the polls and
elected him Mayor; and clothed him
with large patronage and authority.
They selected him by an almost un.
precedented majority. He won hands
down. There was no occasion for any
run off. He ran away from the
bunch.
And yet our friend Mr.. Lewis, as
clean-limbed and clever a gentleman
as ever straddled a tripod, would have
the world believe that the community
that preferred Patterson over Car
mack, and at the next election there
after took up Hilary Howse and elect
ed him Mayor, is "slandered" when
they are accused of "favoring law
breaking and law Defiance" and that
when they are called upon to stand /
on the side of law and order against
the reign of anarchy and official de- !

numbers"

both times. Don't say they did not
mean it. For we know that you
know they did. They are getting just
what is coming to them. They are
getting no more than they deserve.
We hope they will continue to get it ,

become decent, self-respecting and
aw-abiding and hereafter vote for de- )

A PEOPLES GOVERNMENT.

When you speak of a corrupt gov
eminent, it does not necessarily fol-
low that the people are corrupt.
Sometimes the people are deceived
they do not understand the issue in
the campaign; or they are betrayed,
they did not know the real character,
purpose and motive of the man they
were voting for. But when the is
sues are clearly joined, and the char
acter and records of the men who are
candidates are well known and under
stood, then the character of the men
chosen reflect the character of the
people who choose them and the CON-
munity has no right to complain if it
is judged by it's official head and by
the way majority of the people VOTE

nor, and the Mayor of its capital city,
and of the unrestrained lawlessness
that is rampant in Nashville. And
in an attempt to hide its shame from
the world The Tennessean, through
its chief political writer, Frank Lewis,
speaking of it's local contemporary the
Nashville American, says:
The American has slandered
the people of Nashville. They do
not favor law-breaking and law
defiance. They are opposed to it,
and when they are called upon to
stand on the side of law and order
and official debauchery, they will
do it in overwhelming numbers.
But will they? And why didn't
they? Two short years ago the peo
pie of Nashville were called upon to
choose between one Ham Patterson,
a disreputable whisky ward politician,
and Edward Ward Carmack, states
man, patriot and christian gentleman;
and they rushed to the polls to vote
for the political crook from the City
of the Boys. And the fair inference is
that they preferred that kind and
character Of man to rule over them.
One who does not respect or obey the
law himself; who does not want it
enforced; who will not consent to its
being enforced, and sets at naught the
verdict of courts and juries almost as
fast as they are rendered. If the peo-
Pile of Nashville, with all their wealth
and opportunity and education, and
alleged culture and refinement, want
forcement, why did they prefer Pat
terson over Carmack, Mr.. Lewis?

There was no really acceptable man
In the race. All the good" men
were above serving their country;

politics. So it happened that the peo-
pie had rather sorry set to choose
from; but why did they land so heav-
lily on the very worse man in the
bunch? The most open, brazen, def
ant, champion of the lawless set that
was in the race or that could be found
In Nashville? Why, Mr.. Lewis, If
they wanted the law enforced, did

DR.. Morton Prince of Boston, chair

turned from q study of conditions in

He goes on to speak particularly OF
one city, a capital, about the size of
Boston, and this is what he says of his
observation Of the poorest part Of the
city, not a slum district, he says, be-
cause there is none:
Il not only visited these quarters
but inspected the houses Of the poor
est people, who received me with the
greatest kindness and showed me
through their homes. I was astonished
at what I saw. l can assure you that
my informants were telling the truth
when they said there were no slums.
There were no streets swarming, as In
large American cities, with children
who had no other place to play. The
streets on which these homes were To-
Gated were as clean as in the most
prosperous parts of the city, and that
means cleaner than any part of Boston.
The same was true Of the backyards
and alleyw and places that here
would be dirt holes.
The interior was clean and neat and
| for the most part airy. Apparently per-
feet sanitation prevailed. Landlords

The Japanese, like their brethren,
the Chinese, employ a written language

lect-that is quite different from the
co%lloquial tongue. In other words,
they do not, as we, write as they speak.
This proceeding requires the printing

ing as a key to the other. Tines square
characters are modelled on Chinese
ideographs, a tumble of geometric fig
ures, crosses, etc, presenting a pictur-

There are 1900 to 5000 Of these ideo-
graphs In everyday use. The compost

able to recognize the characters at

OF his workroom is something like
this:
The compositor seats himself at a
little table, upon which are spread
forty-seven Kama characters. AS he
receives copy he cuts it into small
strips. handing each strip to a boy.
This boy marches along the room I'M
til he has finally been able to collect
from a number of cases arranged IN
files down the room the different ideo-
graphs desired. About six or seven
boys are thus employed in the average
Japanese composing room running
hither and thither. AS they go their
rounds in search of the ideographs
they keep up q dirgelike chant. which
would certainly De very trying to the
nerves of any but an oriental.
When the boys have collected all
their 1deographs they place them b
fore the compositor, who then has RS
course to a pair of goggles in order to
decipher the characters. fish out the
corresponding types in the Kama"
character. and finally set up the whole
for proving. The proofs are sung
aloud by one reader to another, thus
adding to the confusion Of weird
sounds already reigning in thu room
