JACKSON.
SPENDING EIGHT MILLIONS,
Appropriations of the Legislature Fig
ured Out.

Appropriations of the Legislature Fig
ured Out.
State Auditor Smith figures 1t out
that in addition to making provision
for the spending of $7,721 .437.30 for
the biennial period ending January I,
1912, the 1910 session of the legisla-
ture absorbed during the run Of its
ninety days continuance a pretty good
slice out of the total. The contingent
expenses of the two bodies amounted
to S26,5S7.46, while the per diem of
members and mileage amounted to
$9S,462.50, making a gross total of
S125,039.96.
While the appropriations at the 1910
session exceeded the sum total for the
previous session by $1,197726.39 there
were increased appropriations which
amounted to nearly half million dol
lars, the bulk of which will find it's
way back to the people as circulating
medium. There was an increase of
100000 for pensions and the Soldiers
Home, and of 348,176 for common
schools, an aggregate increase of $448,-
176 over and above that of 1908, while
there were similar increases for the
judiciary, which will all come back to
the banks and business houses, so that,
after all, on the final analysis, the 1919
Legislature did not do so badly by the
state at large as would seem from d
superficial first scrutiny of the finances.

Meantime the rich patron saw
possibly great future for Miss McMil-
Ian and resolved to train her for the
stage. thinking perhaps that if the
girl achieved great personal success
it would entirely erase from her mind
all her SILLY ideals" of improving the
condition of the poor. She was sent
to take lessons from a skilled voice
producer and for a year or two al
most lived in the company of throat
doctors and singers. A famous actor
trained her for the stage and pre-
dicted for her great career. or
tragic mold she essayed the great his
toric parts, and those who saw her
at this time looked forward to her be-
coming one of the great stars of the
age.
Encouraged by her rich friends
Miss McMillans progress as an anna
teur convinced her that fame and
overwhelming success only awaited
the stretching forth of her hand.
During all the time of her musical
and dramatic development, however, a
great struggle was taking place in her
soul She possessed curious dual
personality, as it were. When acting
she could feel her true self thrown abb
solutely aside, while she lived to the
life the part she was playing. This
peculiar psychic gift made her ap-
pear to her admirers as one of the
great coming actresses. On recovery
of her normal being, however, her
thoughts always reverted to the cause
of the poor. Her contact with such
persons as Louise Michel and other
women who were suffering for the
people drew her more strongly every
day toward the sacrifice of wealth and
fame.

That Near Beer Decision.


AS deeply interested as anyone else
in the much discussed near beer" de-
cision of the supreme court is Cow
Noel. He has received a number Oh IN
quiries as to the effect of the ruling
of the court, and also requests for in
the carrying out of the spirit and in
| tent of that decree.
! There are some who appear to be
under the impression that, following
literally the lines announced by Judge
Anderson in the leading opinion, the
exemption from liability would apply
to wines, ales or other stimulants,
which are regarded as non-intoxicants,
even though they may contain more
than 2 per cent Of alcohol. This is, of
course. false assumption and one not
justified by the opinion of the court.
The governor states that he will
make a close study of all three of the
written opinions handed down, and af-
ter he has boiled the points down to
the concrete he will issue instructions
to officers of the law, though this may
not be necessary, as the attorney gen.
erals department has filed sugges-
ton of error which Assistant Attorney
General Mcdowell, who drew the doc
ument, believes will pass muster and
cause the court to, at any rate, modify
or clarity the decree so that it can not
| be misinterpreted.

Judge Whitfield covered the facts

for the information of the bar that

bonded officer, Treasurer Williams
had placed the funds in certain banks
which had in turn allowed him a recip.
roeatlng interest, which Williams had
claimed as his personal assets and
rerquisites. The amount involved in

which the state revenue agent discov

after careful investigation of the
subject, fled suit In order to decide
once and for all whether any fiscal oil
fiduciary officer of the state, or Of any
county or levee board, can claim anJ
share of interest accruing on deposits
placed by him as such trust funds.

In fact, it was through her contact
with very wealthy woman at this
time that one of the most tragic cpl
sodes of her life was enacted. Miss
Mcmillan entered into her service as
secretary; but she had not been with
her employer long before the two be-
came close friends. Margaret did not
attempt in the least to conceal her
views on social questions; but, how
ever insistent and earnest she ap-
peared In the work of reform, the
titled lady, possessed of immense
riches, could not realize that her
protege could really mean half of
what she advocated. With the enor-
nous income of 100000 year, liv-
ing in palace, and moving in the
highest circles of the English nobil-
fly, this woman could not conceive
of anyone seriously championing the
cause of the poor and downtrodden.
Like the French princess. she failed
to understand why the people could
not eat cake If unable to find bread.
Miss McMillan's wealthy friend re-
garded her aspirations as sort of
fad" the natural and evanescent en-
thusiasm of youth, which, like the sea-
sons, would pass away She treated
the whole matter in the light of a
huge Joke.

Only a Beginning.

Though very thankful that begin
ming has been made, Miss Mcmillan
knows that it is only beginning
She believes that only the preliminary
step to greater things has been taken.
She is not-strange to say-really in
terested in the child, simply as such,
but only as a means towards greater
ends. BY fostering the proper care of
the child, and above all, the Adde'S
cent, she feels that the development
of the race toward its own proper
heritage will be accomplished. Life
should contain far more for the com
mon mass of humanity than it does
today, though not necessarily more
ease or idleness She does not enter
tain any false notion about bringing
the people into a Fools Paradise of
sweet-doing-nothing. But she looks
about to arouse the race to a higher
realization of it's own capabilities,
and to enable the working classes to
respond to the stimulus of a great
ideal. She believes that wondrous
powers lie dormant in the common"
people, and that all they need Is prop
er development to bring them to
greater realization.
All things considered, 1t might be
said with truth that Margaret McMil-
Ian is one of the greatest social
forces at work in the world Ct educa-
ton today.

The Crisis of Her Career.

At length the crisis approached in
her career. Her lady patron wished
Margaret Mcmillan to sever her con-
nection with all her friends from the
underworld of misery. She began to
realize that her protege was serious
ly in earnest. All her prospective
success on the stage, all her genius
and talent, seemed to be growing
smaller in her aspirations and farther
away from her heart. In order to
bring matters to a climax the rich
lady one day offered Miss Mcmillan
a large sum and promised to leave
her well-off on her death. Thus be-
friended, and possessed of undoubted
genius, the world lay practically at
her feet Miss Mcmillan does not
deny that the temptation was a great
one. Faced with the sudden neces-
sity of making up her mind-always a
difficult thing for anyone to do under
such circumstances-she met the
crisis with an equally sudden deter
mination; she decided to give up her
rich patron.
Packing her trunk, she suddenly
decamped to Bradford in Yorkshire,
leaving Park lane far behind. Natur-
ally correspondence followed be-
tween her and her rich friend. Those
who know Margaret Mcmillan, how
ever, well understood that once hav-
ing set her hand to the pillow, she
would never look back, and she has
remained in her chosen work since
that day. The die was cast, and
finally her wealthy friend informed
her that she had decided to lob
literate Margaret forever from her
memory"
Miss Mcmillan had not been long in
Bradford when she was asked to stand
for election to membership on the
school board. She had never been on
school board or occupied any public
post; but acquiesced merely to please
her friends. She was elected--though
at the very bottom of the POLAND
one of the labor members was heard
to say in her presence: Think of it;
that's all we got--a woman on the
board!" Before very long, however,
even the most pessimistic labor men,
Der recognized in Miss Mcmillan a
splendid champion of his cause.
Care of Children.
The Socialists were even then de-
handing the state feeding of neces-
sitous children in the schools; but
Miss Mcmillan had larger idea than
that. She stood for medical examina-
ton, through which every physical
ailment of the child would receive at
tention; and this, of course, included
proper feeding. Feeding was. to her,

MARGARET M'MILLAN.

worked harder to see that every
school child was properly fed; that its
teeth were looked after; that it's eyes
should be treated; and that every pos
sible medical aid should be given
and yet, all this was only preliminary.
She claimed for the children of the
poor all the physical care that rich
parents are able to give their chill
dren; but, beyond that, the new edu-
cation founded upon physiological
science. For all of which she asked.
A Persistent Crusader.
In order to accomplish her objects
Miss Mcmillan has kept up a per-
sistent crusade, necessarily appealed
TO various governmental authorities
and forced members of parliament to
take an interest in this work By
her campaign of publicity conducted
through the press, and by means of
her three books. Labor and Child
hood" EARLY Childhood" and "Edu-
cation Through the Imagination" she
has exerted a powerful influence on
public opinion. These books are now
recognized by educational authorities
throughout the world.
Miss Mcmillan only within the last
year or two has been able to witness
partial realization of her eighteen
years of strenuous lifework One of
the most gratifying results of her
pioneer work is the splendid school
clinic established at Bradford, the
home of her early efforts. There are
Is rooms today given up to child ex-
animation in connection with the ele-
mentary schools; these rooms in
clude two dentistries, three doctors
rooms, nursery, waiting room and
even an X-ray room. The Bradford
clinic has been a brilliant success;
during the last year more than 1000
little patients were treated, and the
great majority cured, while consump-
| tive cases were visited outside and
the parents taught how to battle with
the great white plague.
Miss Mcmillan is now preaching the
need for health centers and clinics
throughout the length and breadth of
England, and various municipalities
are taking her advice and establish
ing school clinics. According to fig
ures which she recently quoted at a
public meeting, these clinics cost very
little to maintain A small school
clinic can be kept open daily at a
cost of only $1,000. 1t is more eco
nomical, however, to open large one,
and Miss Mcmillan regards such work
as one of the best public Investments.
A clinic has been established in the
East End of London by help from Jo-
seph Fels and others. 1t is already
doing excellent work
The splendid work inaugurated by
Miss Mcmillan is rapidly developing
throughout England. The board of
education has now a separate medical
department as a permanent portion
of it's work, and school medical Off
GERS have been appointed to 307 out
of 32S local educational areas.

Mo Bidders for Bonds.

TO 0iuuCTS lot DOnuSs
Gov. Noel does not anticipate the
likelihood of a special session of the
legislature being made necessary on
account of his failure to sell the $780,
900 state bond issue, authorized at the
recent session to meet the prospective
deficit in revenues for the biennial Pc
riod.
While the failure to market the
bonds a surprise and disappointment
to Gov. Noel, he attributes 1t not to
any lack of confidence in Mississippi
securities, but to the present condition
Of the money market that renders a
four per cent bond, twenty-year period,
unattractive to the bond-buying syndi-
Gates.
The governor was especially sur
prised to learn that the foreign bond
committee of the London stock ex-
change had issued a warning against
Mississippi bonds, and also the securi-
ties of North Carolina on account of
the reputation of certain ante bellum
issues.
Mississippi has marketed number
less bond issues since the civil war,
and has always succeeded in placing
them on the market at par or above.
during Gov. Vardaman's administra-
ton considerable difficulty was en-
countered in marketing bonds, owing
to the financial stringency that finally
eliminated in the panic of 1907. but
the former governor managed to dis
pose of the issues at par.
In event there is not an improve
ment in the general financial situation
that gives promise of the likelihood of
selling the bonds in the Eastern mar
ket, it is more than likely that Missis-
sippfs spirit of patriotism and civic
pride will be appealed to, and that the
bonds will be sold in small blocks to
parties within the state.

Col. Montgomery, the First district
member of the board, takes also q
rather optimistic view of the outlook
and prospects seem good for crops Of
every description. He said:

ought to be put on foot by the mex

that the state makes can be manufact
