Want To Keep House Down.

The old leaders of the House are
anxious to keep the size of the House
down and few of them will admit the
possibility of an enlargement to be-
yond 400 or 40 at the utmost.
The question of the disfranchise-
ment of the negro vote in the Southern
states will receive attention in con-
nection with the question of Appor-
tionment The House is even now on
record in favor of an inquiry into this
subject. Under the rules of the House,
where debate is limited, a measure
similar to the Crumppacker bill of last
Congress might be passed without af-
fording the minority much opportuni-
ty to oppose or obstruct. But in the
Senate where there is no cloture, the
minority would be strong enough to
prevent the passage of any obnoxious
measure unless deferred by the UNI
written rule which permits each
House to dispose of it's own affairs in
it's own way.

Contention of Parties.

Before the time for the meeting of
Congress the result of the November
elections will have become known. If
the Democrats should come into con-
troll of the House for the 63rd Con-
gress they would naturally resist any
effort to have the change made by
the present Republican congress,
while the Republicans would be as
anxious to have the service performed
while they were in control of legisla-
ton in both Houses.
Apportionment in itself can be used
for party advantage only through the
manipulation of population fractions
in the various states. If the present
day plan of fixing upon a definite
number of members as the first step
in the distribution is followed, many

states will be found to have con.
siderable number of citizens over the
number necessary to give them the
number of members assigned them.
The size of the House once determined,
the representation of each state is
arrived at by dividing the aggregate
population of the country by the total
membership of the House and then
dividing the population of any given
state by the quotient thus obtained.
Almost inevitably there ensues upon
each of such divisions remainder,
large or small. Aside from arbitrari-
ly fixing the representation on the
voting rather than the actual popula-
ton, this remainder, or fraction, af-
fords the only base of manipulation
of the apportionment of members.

(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Sept. 20.-One of the
first questions with which the ap-
preaching session of congress will be
called upon to grapple will be to de-
termine when the next apportionment
of members of the House of Repre-
sentatives. under the recent census
shall be made.
! While it is not actually required by
1.-THE Constitution, that instrument i'm
plies that a re-apportionment shall fol-
low each decennial enumeration of the
people, and accordingly a redistribu-
ton of seats in the House member
ship has taken place hitherto soon
after the conclusion of each census.
Up to 1890 the re-apportionment was
uniformly postponed until the first
session of the congress succeeding
the enumeration, but after the 18th
census a change was made and the
apportionment bills for the 18th and
18th census were brought in and
passed in each case during the short
session of the current congress imme'

Reduction of Senators.

Barring the first apportionment,
Connecticut began with Z members
and now has 5. Maryland has been
reduced from to 6, and New Hamp-
shire from to 2. Vermont, which
in 1910 had six members now has two,
while Maine with in 1880 has been
reduced to 4. Massachusetts has the
same number with which she started
in 1890. In 1900 the number was in
creased to II, but by the next appor-
tionment it had fallen to 10, and the
original figure of ii was not regained
until 1900.
After Virginia and Massachusetts,
Pennsylvania, with 10 members, had
the largest representation in the
House in 1890. New York and North
Carolina followed with 10 each. The
latter state never rose above 10, but
| the former has gone as high as 40.
| which figure was attained under the
apportionment of 1880 and is the lar
gest representation any state ever has
| had. After 1880 the New York repre-
sentation fell to 81 in 1860. Since
then it has been rising gradually un-
| til now it is 81. Pennsylvania pres
ent number of 80 is the largest ever
enjoyed by that state. From the first
census to the present Rhode Island,
with her two capitals and double
name, has been uniformly represent
ed by two. Congressman. Delaware
had two members during the decade
of 1S10-1S20, but otherwise has had
but one in the House at any time.
Increased Apportionment.
| The first apportionment made by
the Constitution itself provided for
one member to every 10000 inhabi-
tants with the result that at its first
session the House contained only IS
members. The census of 1890 result.
ed in an increase to los with $4,000 as
| the basis of representation. From that
time forth with one exception the in
crease both in representation and
| ratio has been steady as follows: 1900,
141 members with ratio of $4,000;
1910, 1S1 members and ratio of 55,-

Might Be important Factor.

If used to the extreme it might be
an important factor as no fewer than
% Representatives now hold their
seats on fractions. That they should
do so is strictly in accordance with
the law which provides that, any de-
ficiency occurring on an even division
shall be supplied from the states hav-
ing the largest remainders on the di-
vision. This rule was strictly fol-
lowed in the last apportionment in all
allotments except those made to
Maine and Nebraska. In both those
states Congress exercised somewhat
arbitrary power by giving each a rep
resentative on a fraction less than the
fraction of other states which received
nothing because of their own frag-
ments. This action was taken to pre-
vent the loss of representation by any
state.

ence and endorsements of the various
candidates, such as has never been
seen for any one position for long
time in Mississippi.
Of the unusually large number of
applicants, all are strongly endorsed,
and these endorsements come from
friends of the Governor have appealed
to him in behalf of some one of the
applicants. But this is the only Of
fee in the state required to be filled
by an experienced farmer, and Missis-
sippi has some of the best farmers III
the world, and some excellent ones
are applicants for this appointment.
Just who the appointment will go
to is matter of speculation, as the
Governor, under the law, must APP
point an experienced farmer, and
those who are not, at present, engaged
in farming and have not been suffi-
GENTLY long to show executive ability,
are, under the law, debarred from re-
ceiving this appointment, and it will
require careful scanning of the ap-
plicants for the Governor to make a
selection.
Governor Noel would have made
this appointment before, but he has
had so many other important matters
to engross his attention that he has
not been able to reach it. He will
take it up Monday morning and go
over the endorsements of the various
applicants qualified, under the law,
for the position and dispose of it.
Another condition attached to the
appointment is that the superinten-
dent of the penitentiary is that he
shall live at Parchman state farm.

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY
IN Negroes Death

Houston, Miss, Sept. 20.-A horri-
BILE tragedy was revealed late Sunday
evening in the eastern part of this
county, near Buena Vista, when the
body of Ike Darmer, a negro, was
found in the thicket of Sucatonchee
creek bottom.
Ike Dahmer left home last Tuesday
morning with a wagon and team and
never returned. The wagon and team
were found in the road, but the driv-
er was missing. Nothing more was
heard of him till late Sunday eve
ming, when his body was discovered
in a thicket. There were several bull
let holes in his body. The persons
who committed the crime cut the skin
on the top part of the head and had
taken all of the skin off of the fore
head and face, leaving the body more
difficult to identify. The private parts
of the body were cut, lacerated and
torn away. The head of the victim
had been burned. The knife of the
negro was found in the pocket of his
overalls, and this was the first clue
to establish his identity. Bruises and
scratches on the body and the sign
that led up to the place where the
body was found showed that the body
had been dragged more than mile
through the woods. The coroner held
an inquest over the body last night
and the verdict of the jury was that
deceased came to his death at the
hands of unknown parties. No cause
has been assigned for this act, and no
arrests have been made.
