have refused to allow their children
to attend schools, but these are few,
while in others, the parents are not
financially able to purchase school
books for their children, which seems
to be the greatest drawback to many
children securing an education. To
overcome this last obstacle, it is urged
that free school books should be fur
nished, where children cannot get
them otherwise, thus making the edu-
cation of the wouth of the state free
in every essential.
There is some talk of bringing this
matter before the next legislature,
but some of those favoring compul-
sorry education regard it is too early
to begin campaign before the legis-
lature for law that must have the
support of public sentiment 1t is con-
tended by some that the movement,
just started here, for a state reforma-
tory, will naturally lead to compulsory
education, and that the success of one
means the success of the other, and
agitation may be started along this
line.

MISSISSIPPI
congress In SESSION

San Antonio, Tex, Nov 22.-Ameri-
cas- greatest commercial organization
convened today in the largest city of
the biggest state, and the hundreds
of distinguished and influential dele
gates were given welcome of the
hearty Southwestern variety.
With this session the Trans Missis-
sippi Commercial Congress attains its
majority, as today's gathering is the
twenty-first since the organization of
the body. 1t is the universal opinion
of the visitors that the convention will
be the most important of its kind ever
held.
Topics to be discussed, besides the
Pan-American trade, include the Pana-
ma canal, improvement of inland wa
terways and harbors, merchant ma.
rine, reclamation of lands by irrfga-
ton and drainage, live stock, conser-
walton of natural wealth and the Pana-
LILO IIApOoltlOn.
1t is pointed out by officials of the
congress that 60 per cent of the con-
tigious territory of the United States
Is West of the Mississippi, and that
this section furnishes about so Der
cent of the nations exports. It is as
serted that the future increase of pop-
ulation will be largely on the Western
side of the Father of Waters, and that
this section will benefit most largely
from the Panama canal and the pros
pective great increase in trade be-
tween the United States and the far
East.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 2.-Mississippi
educators are to some extent discuss
ing the question of compulsory edu-
cation in this state, and believe this is
the next step in educational progress.
At the last session of the legislature
many laws were passed relating to ed
ucation and making the system more
complete for the child, but the con-
tention is made that unless the child
attends school the educational facili-
ties of the state, no matter how good,
will avail him nothing.
For that reason some of the leading
educators of the state favor compul-
sorry education for at least four months
in the year: They believe a law COM
pelling'every child to be in attendance
on some school for that period of time
Will do more good to the state than
any laws enacted for several years,
because it will then insure the attend

The ATTENDANCE of the white children,
while Increasing every year, is not
what it should be in any county in
the state. Mississippi is an agricul-

HIS CHOICE

st. Louis, Mo-, June 1.-The poll
tical situation in Missouri is already
very interesting, but 1t promises to
be much more so after the banquet
here tomorrow night at which former
Governor Joseph w. Folk is expect
ed to announce definitely whether
he will be candidate for the Unit
ed States senate, or whether he will
reserve his strength for the race for
the democratic presidential nomina-
ton in 1912. The banquet will be
held under the auspices of the Mis-
souri, democratic league, the Folk,
organization formed at the harmony
meeting at Kansas City last Janu--
airy, and will be attended by many
democratic leaders from various
parts of the state.
The close political associates of
Mr.. Folk are Of the opinion that he
will make the race for the senator
ship. This opinion is based largely
on the belief that should Governor
Harmon of Ohio be reelected this
year he is bound to take precedence
over all other possibilities now men
toned for the head of the demo-
cratic national ticket two years
hence.
On the other hand, the chances of
electing a democratic senator to sue
coed Senator Warner, republican,
are regarded as very bright by the
democratic leaders in Missouri.
Should former Governor Folk enter
the race the contest for the sena-
torship will probably develop into,
one of the liveliest political fights.

Ex-Governor David r. Francis has
already announced his candidacy for
the democratic nomination to sue

Senator Warner will be opposed for
reelection by Governor Hadley and
possibly one or two others. The
contest will be decided by the state
