The Vaarancy Law.

Although the vagrancy law was
printed in full in the last issue of The
Enquirer, in connection with Judge
DeVore's admirable charge to the York
county grand jury, we are quite sure
that it has not been read and studied
as carefully as it should be for the best
interest OF all concerned, and in the
hope that it may receive still further
attention. we are printing it again:
Sec. 499. All persons wandering from
place to place, without any known res
idence or residing in any city, county
or town, who have no visible or known
means of gaining a fair. honest and
reputable livelihood; all suspicious

and all sturdy beggars, are, and shall
be, deemed vagrantS, and upon conVic-
ton thereof before a court Of magis-
trate shall be fined in a sum not eX-
ceeding one hundred dollars or thirty
days imprisonment.
While Judge DeVore's remarks were
addressed to the grand jury, people are
not to understand that they will have
to wait for the action of that body.
Any citizen can proceed against va
grancy through any magistrate. Any
magistrate having information against
vagrants may communicate that infor-
nation to any citizen and issue war
rant on an affidavit made on the in
formation and belief of that citizen.
There are hundreds and hundreds Of
vagrants within the meaning of the
foregoing statute; but the prosecution
OF only half a dozen of them will be
sufficient to reduce the number Won
d1rfully.

BRYAN IN WASHINGTON.
Democratic Leader Has Pleasant Meet
ina With President.

William J. Bryan and President Taft
spent more than an hour cloSeted to-
gether at the White House late last
Tuesday, says a Washington dispatch.
The two great travellers exchanged
"reminiscences, it is said, and each
commented upon how well the other
was looking. The president rather in
timated that being beaten at the polls
did not seem to be such bad thing for
ones health and happiness after all.
The call was purely a social one, "
said Mr.. Bryan.
Did you discuss the tariff bill?" was
asked.
No" smiled the Nebraskan. I'VE
forgot all about it,
"Or politics."
mo, that didn't occur to us, either"
Both the president and Mr.. Bryan
seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed the
quiet chat. Mr.. Bryan walked in dem
ocratic fashion to the White House.
He was received with unusual courtesy
by the attaches and was shown with
out a moments delay into the presi-
dents offices.
Mr.. Bryan left at 7.55 Tuesday night
for Lincoln, Neb.
Mr.. Bryan early in the day visited
the Capitol. to urge congress To make
an appropriation to eXterminate the
hoOkworm in Puerto Rico and to es-
tablish Il Pan-American college there
At a hearing before the house COM
mittee on insular affairs the distin-
guished Nebraskan pictured Puerto
Rico as a place Of beauty and pic
turesque magnifcence, but an island
with burdens which the United States
should help to relieve.
He declared Puerto Rico was the
key by which we are to unlock South
America" and that South America Of
fered a golden opportunity for the i'm
migrant He predicted that in half q
century the population of South Amer
lea would be increased from 25.O00.0OO
to 50,000,00O.
During his visit to the Capitol. Mr..
Bryan met number of Democrats and
expressed his views on pending legisla-
ton. especially the postal banks and
railroad bills.
Mr.. Bryan EXPRESSED his opinion that
the Democrats of the house should vote
for the postal savings banks bill. be-
cause, i'm his view. it is the surest
method of bringing about the guarantee
for deposits. Even if the postal saw
ings banks should come into cOmpeti-
tion with other banks, he suggested.
these other banks could meet that COM
petition by increasing tine degree of Sc
curity offered to their depositors.
While believing that there were some
good features in the pending railroad
bill. especially those providing for gov
ernmental supervision of the issuance
of stocks and bonds, Mr.. Bryan advised
his Democratic friends to defeat the
measure, because .he thought its bad
features outweighed It's desirable pro-
visions.
Among those who attended this con-
ference were: Minority Leader Clark
of Missouri; Messrs. James of Ken
lucky. Rucker of Colorado, Underwood
of Alabama. Cox of Ohio. and Hughes
of New York. While at the Capitol
Mr. Bryan called on Speaker Cannon.

- Washington, April 21: Governor
Noel of Mississippi, who is in Washing
ington, declared tonight that the pro-
posed primary election agreement be-
tween Senator Leroy Percy and for
mer Governor Vardaman, his defeated
opponent, to test the confidence Of the
people on the action Of the legislature,
which absolved friends Of the former
Of charges of bribery in the senatorial
election, was against the law Of Mis-
sissippi, that the party participating in
such a primary could have no safe
guard under the law and that the re-
suit of such a primary would be worth
less. II consider the whole PROPOSE
ton agreed upon between Senator
Percy and Mr.. Vardaman against the
law" said Governor Noel. Il was OPP
posed to such special primary, not
only because it was contrary to the
election laws of the state, but also be-
cause it was unnecessary. 1 did not
know that Senator Percy favored 1t
until he made his recent speech In
Mississippi wherein he proposed the
agreement. When 1 heard Of 1t l tele-
graphed to the secretary OF the Demo-
cratic executive committee that l OPP
posed the special primary and that II
one had been called l should object to
1t as soon as 1 returned to the state.
will leave here Saturday for Jackson.
Il have heretofore given no opinion as
to whether / would recognize such
primary, but tonight have been care
fully studying our election law. We
have a primary election law in Mis-
sissippi which is adequate for protect
ing the rights Of candidates and the
Of fraud. This law espec-
tally provides that nominations for the
election Of United States senators shall
be held in August preceding general
election. No other primary for such
a purpose is valid or can stand the test
of law and no candidate favored by
such a primary can be held validly
In the second place such
a primary is unnecessary, for both
houses Of the legislature have exener-
ated, after thorough investigation, all
of the participants in the recent sena-
torial election from any suspicion OF
fraud or bribery" Governor Noel saw
Senator Percy tonight, but said he did
not refer to the primary matter be-
cause he knew the senator favored 1t,
but that he proposed to take the mat
ter up at once with the Mississippi
delegation and to object
to the calling Of the primary before the
executive committee of the party

THE sudden death of w. w. Keys,
editor of the Baptist Courier, has
caused profound sorrow in the hearts
of all who were acquainted with that
most estimablc gentleman. Mr. Keys
was modest and retiring by nature; but
an earnest man of unusual ability. and
a force for great good through his pa
per, the Baptist Courier, which, in in
fuence and usefulness is second to no
other religious journal of the south.
His death is a distinct loss. not only to
those who are closest to him; but to
the Southern Baptist church and to the
state of South Carolina.

IT is to be taken as matter OF
course, that the primary campaign be-

Mississippi this summer, will be a
warm one. AS to what the real merits
of the case are. we have no clear idea
but we are inclined to think that Percy
will win out. A man who will surren-
der an office like that of United States
senator. because of suspicion of a

pretty apt to get vindication.
