WILL ENDEAVOR TO
ORGANIZE A LEAGUE.
important Meeting Will Be Held at
jackson on March 4th.

An impetus to base ball in this Sec
ton was received this week by a call
issued for a meeting of the representa-
tives OF Greenwood, CIarksdale, Green
vile, Yazoo City. Hattiesburg and Can
ton and such towns as may see fit to
join the organization, to meet at the
Edwards House, in Jackson, or March
4th, at which time plans for the organ
ization of independent baseball in Mis-
sissippi during the approaching season.
The effort to reorganize the Cotton
States League has apparently failed
through lack of interest, and it seems
most probable that such an organiza-
ton as the n proposed in this call
would meet with success. 1t is under
stood hat the plans contemplate the
formation of a semi-professional league
with a low salary limit, and the pro-
motors are confident that they can or
ganize at least six, and probably eight
good teams, and give lovers of base
ball a irst-class quality during the
season.
Mr.. HARDWOOD, secretary of our Bus
mess League, was interviewed in re-
gard to this dope, and spoke favorably
Of the plan, and expressed the wish
that quite a crowd would accompany
him to jackson on March 4th and unite
with him and others concerned in the
permanent organization of a league as
suggested in the call received by him
from Mr.. w. f. Cummings, Jr., city
clerk of Yazoo City.
1t is also understood that the rules
of this proposed organization will SO be
constructed as to secure the services OF
collegiate ball t~ossers, SO as to accord
with the rules of the colleges and I'm.
iversities against professional base
ball, and SO as to not bar them from en-
joying that sport at their alma matters
We wish the new venture much sue
cess and hope that the organization
| will be perfected.

ELECTIVE JUDICIARY
BILL KILLED AGAIN.
Failed to Pass Measure Over Gov
ernor'S Veto.

The friends of the Quinn elective jul
dietary bill met with a Waterloo in the
House when they attempted to pass the
measure over the Governors veto, and
this ends it.
This bill was passed at the last ses-
sion, two years ago, and at the begin
ming of the present session Gov. Noel
returned it with his disapproval. There
have been two or three discussions of
the veto message, and finally it was
made special order for yesterday with
the understanding that an effort was to
be made to pass it over the Governors
veto.
A two-thirds majority was required
and the proposition even fell far short
of a majority, as the vote stood Sc for
to 63 against.
The object of the measure was to
take from the Governor the power and
the authority to appoint Judges and
Chancellors, and to make these officials
elective just as State officials and Uni
ted States Senators, by primary vote of
the people.
1t is we'll known that Gov. Noel has
always favored an elective judiciary,
but he opposed this asu as viola
tive Of tho Constitution which makes
it the duty of the Governor to appoint,
and SO long as that provision remains
in the Constitution he will uphold it.
His idea has been to so amend the Con-
stitution az to make Judges elective,
and he has made several efforts to have
an amendment adopted. 1t was voted
on once, some ten years ago, and failed
to receive the legal majority according
to the decision Of the Supreme Court
and will remain the organic law Of the
State till another Constitutional con,
vention is held.

RECENT MINING DECISION
rs CONSTRUED

The following letter has been sent
out from the land Office, regarding the
construction to be placed upon a GER
tain mining regulation:
Washington, Dec. II. 1908.
Sirs-The attention of the depart
ment has been called to the last clause
of paragraph Al of the mining regula-
tions, approved March 80, 1909, which
provides as follows:
"The vein or lode must be fully
described, the description to include a
statement as to the kind and character
of mineral, the extent thereof, whether
ore has been extracted and of what
amount and value and such other facts
as will support the applicants allega-
ton that the claim contains a valuable
mineral deposit"
1t seems that the expression, "the
extent thereof" is being construed as
meaning hat the applicant must AFR
matively show by proof of exploration
that the vein exists in fact throughout
the whole length of the claim.
This construction of the paragraph
is BY the words quoted it
was intended to require the claimant
to show the existence Of a vein in
such workings as he relied on to es-
tablish a discovery. BY the extent of
the vein was meant it's size and quality
as discovered. That being done, the
presumption exists that the vein ex-
tends on it's strike throughout the
whole length of the claim as located.
The sole purpose Of that part Of
paragraph Al quoted was to enable the
land department to know, SO far as APP

DECLARE IN FAVOR
OF CONSERVATION

The conservation committee Of the
of the American Revolution
appeals to every member of it's organi-
cation and all patriotic women to begin
the new year with a determination to
use all honorable means to support the
conservation measures being carried
out all over the country.
That is the keynote of what might
b ecalled a resume of the first few
months work of the conservation com
mittee of the organization, which is
composed of members from every state
and territory in the union.
Conservation Of all Of Americas re-
sources is the c%oncensus of the senti-
ment of the governors of sixteen states
and territories who were asked to a n
swer the questions, "What is the es-
pecial need of conservation in your
state" and Chow many women help

For some years there has been a sus-
picion in the minds of many practical
men that the youth of the land are
being educated, or at least taught
many things that are of no practical
benefit to them in after life. Many
parents, feeling the lack of educa-
ton, have determined to give their
children the best that money can pro-
cure, with the result that when young
men graduate from college, in many
instances they seem to be wholly in
capacitated from dealing with the
practical questions of life.
Would it not be better to give each
student a training in some calling or
business, aside from the professions,
in addition to the regular courseS
Much horse sense is to be found in
the of a Missouri farmer to
the questions of the "country life
commission" appointed by President
Roosevelt, recently made public. He
stated that he had a wife and IL living
children, he and his wife being each
SO years old; and that they owned $40
acres of land without any mortgage
hanging over their heads. He had
himself done well, and his views as to
why many of his neighbors had done
less well are entitled to consideration
These views are expressed in terse and
vigorous English; they can not always
farm homes in his neighborhood are
not as geed as they should be because
too many of them are encountered by
mortgages; that the schools do not
train boys and girls satisfactorily for
life on the farm, because they allow
them to get an idea in their heads that
city life is better, and that to remedy
this practical farming should be taught.
To the question whether the farmers
and their wives in his neighborhood are
satisfactorily organized, he
"Oh, there is a little one-horse grange
gang in our locality, and every darned
one thinks they ought to be a king
To the question, care the renters of
farms in your neighborhood making a
satisfactory livingf" he answered:
emo; because they move about so
much hunting a better job" To the
question, els the supply of farm labor
in your neighborhood satisfactorily
the answer is: enc; because the peo-
pie have gone out of the baby bust
ness;n and when asked as to the
remedy he answers, "Give a pension
to every mother who gives birth to
seven living boys on American soil.'
To the question, care the conditions
surrounding hired labor on the farm
in your neighborhood satisfactory to
the hired menf' he eyes,
unless he is a drunken cuss,' adding
that he would like to blow up the still
houses and root out whisky and beer.
To the question, care the sanitary
conditions on the farms in your neigh
borhood satisfactorily he
"No; too careless about chicken yards,
and the like, and poorly covered wells;
in one well on a neighbor's farm
counted seven snakes in the wall of the
well, and they used the water daily,
his wife dead now and he is looking
for another He ends by stating that
the most important single thing to be
- e. A. lvo.k 80 aorn%rxv I1fo
is stgood roads, but in his answers
he shows very clearly that most i'm
portant Of all is the individual equa-
ton of the man or woman, and the
training of children in our schools to
work.
