OPPOSITION TO MULLIGAN'S APPLICATION FOR LICENSE
 DWINDLED CONSIDERABLY Y

Nine remOnStrants who last week objected to the action of James Null ligan in attempting to open saloon at 1916 Main street, this morning sioners declaring themselves in favor of the application. The commission- CTS had the letters when the hearing on the remonstrance against Multi gans application was started. Those who changed their opinions in the matter were the Wise Furniture Co.,, Lee Bros. Furniture Co.,, Frederick c. Curtis, Elizabeth Mccarthy, Morris Bernstein, W. J. Nichols, Harry Gold stein, A. Mahcney and M. A. Green.
 Only two appeared against the ap- plicant. Samuel Katz,, who conducts furniture store at 1324-1326 Main street, thought there were too many saloons in the neighborhood. He said he bought the property three years ago expecting that real estae values would boom but found that nothing but saloons wre coming in the vicin- ity.
 Michael Gilhuley of 36 Chapel street was opposed to the application because he thought there were enough saloons there already
 M. J. Buechler, who owns property at 1928 to 1232 Main street was in favor of the applicant although he had previously signed the remon- strance. He thought there was a de- mand for another saloon. James Mulligan, the applicant, said he in tended to put in a first class restaur- ant and cafe. He wants to transfer license from Hallett street.
 Charles J. Berger, who owns the building in which Mulligan proposes to locate, was in favor of the appH- cant. He said Poli's theatre would soon be erected at Congress and Main streets and with the other real estate changes he thought a first class sa- loon would be needed. 9The commis- sioners reserved decision.

THE BOOK OF MEMORY.

My grandma has curious book she
 often lets me see, When in the dusk I leave my play to
 sit upon her knee. I cannot touch the book at all, but
 shut my eyes up tight, While grandma tells the pictures and
 I see them clear and. bright. I see the dear old farmhouse, where
 my grandma used to play, The barn with all the cattle and the
 fragrant mows of hay. The pets that grandma used to have,
 and all her queer old toys, And the little country schoolhouse,
 full of merry girls and boys. And there are other pictures. too,
 which make my grandma sigh; She says I must not see them now,
 but wait till by and by. But though she thinks they're far too
 sad to show to little me, She's sure they all look brighter when
 I'm sitting on her kneee! My grandma says I'm making now
 book to be my own. And that I'll often look at 1t and
 smile, when I'm grown. And then I'm sure the picture that
 I'll like the best to see, Will be myself, a sitting in the dusk
 on grandma's knee.

STARTLING

"Mr. VIM. Quarles, Jry here arose, and in connection with ten
home. said, speaking as post master, that he knew, positively, that
from June goth, 1910, to July LIST, 1911, there had been seat BY post
office money order from this point, to certain big mail order houses
in Chicago and other cities, the staggering sum of ~S24,Soooo, and
that the amount sent through the two banks and by express money
order would augment this amount to greater proportions"
The above is taken from the last issue of the Tallahatchie Her
aid. The statement credited to Mr.. Quarles, Charlestons pos,
master, was made at a boosters meeting in Charleston, where the
towns needs were being discussed. The figures are startling. Mr.
Quarles idea seems to have been that larger stores and the proper
enterprise on the part of local merchants would have kept this money
at home.
We do not believe that the figures at Grenadas postof6ce fol
the same items will total even one-third of what Mr.. Quares says o
Charleston. Still the mail order business here is larger than il
ought to be. Were local merchants as persistent in the use of ad
vertising space and of printers ink as the mail order houses are, the
mail order business would soon be a thing of the past.
Grenada trade can almost find its every want supplied with on
Local merchants, hence there is a good reason for the mail order bus
mess being ies here. Had those Charleston people taken the time
to come to Grenada, where they could get water better than that al
Waukesha, and see the prettiest town in the state, they could have
gotten more for their money, besides having spent a few days mos
delightfully."- at a neghboring health resort. Moral: MORE Charles
ton people should come to Grenada to trade and all merchant
within a 5o-mile radius should use more space in the Sentinel.

The Opposition press ought to quit losing sleep over what
the next Legislature is going TO do. Because a majority of it will be
composed of men favorable to Vardamans candidacy doesn't agree
that it will be guilty of nnwise or ineXpedient enactments. Indeed,
as a general proposition it may be stated with certainty that Varda-
man men-whether office holders or private citizens-stand for
everything which will rebounds to the good of the whole people.
That is the very essence of Vardamanism. So our friends, the enc
my,need not lose any sleep worrying over the rash doings in pros
pect at the State capitol when the lawmakers gather there--Mag-
nolia Gazette.
Let US hope that all the esteemed Gazette says will be really
ed. We are looking for many good things from the. next legisla-
ture. We dare say that n a few days after the body gets down to
business the question of how a man voted in the senatorial race
will be little heard of. The election fire will very largely have died
out of most of us by tina. time and we will look at a proposition on
its merits or upon its dement's. The good predominates in almost
all men and the members elect of the Legislature are no exception to
the rule. They want to do that which is best for Mississippi and
will be responsive to the best thought Of the people and the pro-
gressive spirit ST the day. Of course those that insist that the hor-
lion is full of dark spots will be apt to see nothing else but let's look
for the Respondent, twinking stars-they are there.
For our part, We are not among those that lament the fact
that so many veteran legislators were left at home. Ne think it is
good that they art not to be there. There will be enough odheads
to set the work in motion, but we believe that in the end the best
result will be attained with new blood with new men at the helm.
1t is the duty of every good citizen to help point out the pathway of
duty for the Legislature, and for every other officer, as for that mat
ter, and to aid in accomplishing those things that r. AXE for the bet
terment of the great body of the people. "f ~

THE LII w. DELI Us.

According to the Commercial Appeal, there are ninety-six per-
sons under indictment and awaiting trial in Shelby county for first
degree murder. OF this number only sixteen are in jail, the remain
der being out on bond.
What a commentary this is on the laxty of the criminal laws in
this country. When a person is indicted for murder in the first de.
gree, he is supposed to go beyond the privileges of liberty by bail,
yet here we find eighty men walking the streets who should be in
Jail. The judges of the courts have taken the matter into their own
hands, and have overridden the testimony which has been brought
before the grand junes.
Everywhere, all over the country, men are committing cold
blooded murder, openly in the streets, and yet many escape punish
ment by the specious plea of insanity, ~self-defense or the unwritten
law.
There is a growing disrespect by certain classes for the law. A
man can commit almost any crime in the calendar, knowing that if
an outraged populace does not wreak summary vengeance upon
him, some smart lawyer will be able to have him freed on a technic-
atty, or the case will be continued from time to time until the evi.
dence has all disappeared or the court gets disguised and throws the
case out.
Its no wonder that we have mob law SO strong inthis country.
The law, as at present administered, is no deterrent to crime, but
seems rather to lead men on to deeds of vioe nee, since they have
no fear of punishment. a.v
If the hempen rope were brought into more active use by the
machinery of the law; if towards and desperadoes who make a habit
of carrying concealed weapons, were made to serve a year or more
in the penitentary; if there were not so many technicaities by which
men avoid punishment for their crimes, human life would not be
held SO cheaply-UnionA Advocate.

MORE REPRESENTATION FOR SOUTH
MISSISSIPPI. PRE-

This paper has repeatedly put itself on record as being in favor
of giving South Mississippi representation in the legislature equal to
that accorded other portions Of the state, and we feel sure that the
coming Legislature will take the necessary steps to tina! end.
We feel assure d that this can be accomplished without a con-
stitutional convention. An amendment to the constitution submit
ted to the people for that purpose will undoubtedly receive their
approval.
We have not taken the pains to make a comparison of the leg
islative representation accorded South Mississippi with that which is
given the balance of the state. We have presumed that that part of
the contention of our South Mississippi friends was well founded.
Therefore, we hope that no obstacle will DE placed in the way of the
long deferred hopes of the people of that part of the state.
