The Yazoo Sentinel and Vicksburo
Herald, two of the bitterest Anti
VardamGn papers in the state, have
come out in severe editorials con
demning the action of Gov. Noel in
calling the SPECIAL Session of the
Legislature, SO near to the assem-
bling of the new or regular session.
These papers have demonstrated
that their patriotism rises above
partisanism, and they scorn to do
the administration hunkying act at
least on this score. For this they
deserve honorary mention, hence
this editorial. They are not the on
ly Anti Vardaman papers which are
speaking out denouncing the action
of our hard headed governor in this
matter. There are others too num-
erous to go into particular mention,
but those two are among the most in
fuential, who have so spoken so far

GREAT MUSICIANS IN DISPUTE

During the past few DAYS the dis
patches have contained accounts of a
controversy that has been In progress
between Pietro Mascagni, the noted
Italian composer Of music. and Liebler
and Company, the renowned impre-
sarios of New York,
1t appears that the parties had en-.
tered into a contract whereby the lat

maestro, entitled "Ysobel.D was TO

the management of the Lieblers. Diff
6culties arose from time to time over
the amount to be paid to the composer.
but the promoters on this side Of the
Atlantic continued with their prepara-
tions under the impression that all
would yet be well. During the process
of preparation the Lieblers claim to
have expended the sum of ono hundred
thousand dollars, and the statement is
made that there is still other expense
to be met, even though the present
deadlock may not be broken, Mascagni

have not lived up to their contracts
with him. On the other hand, the pro-
motcrs on this side aver that it is the
composer who is at fault, in that nc is
continually making demands upon them
that were not contemplated in their
agreements. And so the matter stands.
New York lovers of grand opera are de-
privcd of the opportunity of hearing

may not yet be permitted to Judge.
The disputants have conflicting stories

TO BOOST SALARIES.

The very first week OF the legislative
session brought forward bills TO in.
crease official salaries, both State and
| county. OF course, such increase could
not take place as affecting the pres
eut incumbents; but, even so, what is
The particular demand for the general
increases that are proposed? If it is
because of the advanced cost OF living,
there is no reason why the state and
county officials should be moro favored
than those who really work for and
earn the money they get And then,
again, if il is to be an increase IN sal
ary Of State officials, why not go down
the Lists Why stop at the Governor,
State Treasurer, Auditor and Attorney
General? Why not include the State
School Superintendent, who is the least
paid and the hardest worked State of.
fetal we have?
And then, we have the proposition
largely to increase the pay Of the
sheriff, the commissioners. and other
county officers, and, also, TO increase
the terms OF shcrffs and county clerks
to four years in place of two, as now.
And why not pay them by fees? Under
the old fec system in Utah, sheriffs,
county clerks, and recorders, got rich
out of the Offices. Now these Offices,
except the clerks are great cost to
the public. The fees amount TO but
little in paying the cost of running
most of the offices. The public would
be immensely better of, so far as the
payroll is concerned, if il returned to
the fee system. The proposition to
further burden the taxpayers by in
creasing the pay of officials who arc
not able to make both ends meet, so
far as the public interests are con.
ccrned, in the payment of fees, is
wholly indefensible. Yet now it is
proposed TO reward them by greater
pay for their inability to make their
offices meet the expenses which they
incur.
We do not believe that the people of
this State expected anything of this
hihu liOh cue ltplsldtUIS. we are at
loss to understand where the move.
ment comes from that suggests these
great and general increases in the paw
of public officials. No party has de-
clared in favor of them; no body of
citizens, especially of taxpayers, has
indicated desire for anything of this
KIND. The taxpayers. indeed, are bur
dened too much already by the failure
OF most of these Offices to pay their
own expenses. If there is to be a fur
ther addition to those expenses, caus-
ing yet greater deficit in the official
account; then, surely there ought to
be some preliminary movement in favor
of 1T, coming from the people, and not
have II, as it appears to be now, sim
ply movement Of officials, by officials.
and for officials, in their own official
and personal interest.

PRIMARY FOR PRESIDENT.

| We notice a proposition received i'll
circular from the East to have a
primary postal vote for Presidential
candidates in 1912. The idea is to
apply the principle of primary elections
TO the gathering Of the public choice for
Presidential nominees.
The point is the novel application of
the primary principle to a broader field
but in the absence OF any provision to
pay for the necessary work, or to reg
ulate it. or control it to any official
or definite result, it is hard to see how
definite ends are to be obtained
The proposition is to use postal cards
in which the voter will make reply, Civ
ing his first, second and third choice for
candidate for President. The voter,
also, pledges that for the coming two
years he will vote, and that in 1912 he
will vote only for pledged, progressive
delegates, who have declared for a first
choice, second choice, and third
choice for President, IL is proposed to
form in every State Progressive Fed
Grafton which will carry on the work in
that State, the cost of furnishing the
postal cards to be raised by public sub.
scriptions. The plan is to apply to
both parties.
1t is evident that. in order 10 collect
votes enough to be any real expression
of the people, the expense will be con
siderable. Surprising that only 10000
600 postal cards are used, the cost of
these alone would be 100000. And
100000 would be about two-thirds
Of the vote likely to be cast for Presi.
dent in 1912. Then, there would be a
very large force necessary to handle the
work, to send out the cards. to compute
the results, and to tabulate the re-
turns. And, after all, nobody would be
bound by it. the parties would hold
their State conventions for the election
Of delegates, for the most part at least.
without any regard whatever for this
postal card canvass
The idea. however. is quite out of the
usual order of procedure. and will un-
doubtedly he carried far enough 10 af-

ergy to spare. and who are burning to
