THE fact that number of range
papers received a $25 check on a
new subscription account recently
has been brought to the attention
of Bro. Koen, of Biwa blk, who evil
IDENTIFY was omitted from the list
and who takes rap" at the sub
scriber over the shoulders of the
boys whose papers we're ordered by
virtually accusing them of accept
ing the sum az bride on county
division sentiment. The Enterprise
acknowledges being one of the
journals receiving such remittance,
which was accompanied by letter
the text of which was as follows:
Enclosed please find my check for
$500 to apply as subscription to
the Enterprise. { Kindly forward it
to me addressed TO-" Now if
there is anything wrong in pub
Usher accepting such advance SUBJ
scription we fail to see it, and can
but wish the opportunity of CON-
hitting such wrong came oftener.
But if one can find any inkling of a
bride against county division or
against the ship subsidy or against
county option in the letter accom-
panying the remittance he has got
US trimmed four ways. Come out
OF it, Bro. Koen; perhaps your SUBJ
scription check may come later,
when the gentleman has discovered

IF every man who speaks of the

remember that there is nothing i'm.

it is only when one is tempted to
clothe it with lies that he ia forced
to blush, the anti-division .argu-

Don't know but they have a right to
feel better, being placed in their
proper position as one of the thriv-
ing range communities whose
growth has keptpac with it's neigh

through counting those portions of

count Missabe Mountain township

Dogs Must Be Assessed This Year.

All Mississippians who own dogs must
return them for assessment this year, or
they will be liable to a fine; for it will
be misdemeanor to have, keep or har-
Dor dog, unless one has paid the dog
tax, as required by an act of the legis-
lature of 1910.
1t is estimated that there are more
dogs in Mississippi than children, and
this statement is made by men who
have, more or less, studied the question,
and if all dogs are returned for taxation
and the tax paid, the school fund of
each county will be considerably in
creased.
Some of the municipalities, in fact
most of them, have levied tax on Dash,
Tige and Fido for years past, but all
efforts to levy state tax on the canine
failed, till last year. There was time
when it was worth mans political ca
reer to even suggest such tax, but with
sheep, goat and hog raising becoming a

was needed to protect these more valua-
bic animals.
There were nc less than dozen bills
introduced at the last session of the
Legislature to put tax Qf dogs. Sen
timent was so strong II ilsls direction
that the Legislature had to enact law
of some kind, and the one passed IS
rather stringent. The dogs escaped tax
alton in Go, because the act did not
become effective till the property assess
ment had been made, but all dog own
ers must return their CANNES for taxa
ton the same as other property this
wear, which means the various counties
of the state will collect total of over
a million dollars dog tax, if the law is
rigidly enforced.
It is optional with the county super
visors whether the law is enforced, but
most of them will impose the tax volun-
tarily, while others will be petitioned
to levy the tax, and if they do not, then
an election can be called on the ques-
ton of collecting tax on dogs.

HON. P, NJ. BOUSLOG.

It affords The Echo much pleasure to
present to the voters of the Sea Coast
Senatorial District the name of that
sterling young man, Honorable Perry
NJ. Bouslog, of Gulfport, as candidate
for seat in the Mississippi Senate.
We know OF no man who could fill the
honor with more dignity and more ef-
fectually for the public good, and his
success is apparent. The Senatorial
District is composed of the counties Of
Hancock, Harrison and Jackson, and it
has been time -honored custom to al
ternate the county choice from which
the candidate is selected, thus each
county serving in turn. At present
Senator Will T. Mcdonald is serving
from Hancock, and Harrison following
next in order, Mr.. Bouslog, of Gulfport,
now presents his name for the consider
alton.
He is a splendid gentleman in every
particular A thorough business man
and one who understands thoro ugly the
needs of the seacoast in the way OF re-
medal, reform and industrial legisla-
ton, it would be we'll were the voters to
elect him. At present he is serving his
second term as Alderman from the 1st
ward at Gulfport; he is secretary OF the
Good Roads Association of Harrison
county, and also secretary of the Mis-
sissippi League of Municipalities. In
private life he is general manager OF the
Mississippi Land &c Abstract Company,
of Gulfport.
He was educated in the public schools
of Bay st. Louis, then later at the High
School at New Orleans. Moving from
Indiana, he has been resident OF this
city and later of Gulfport for the last
sixteen years, hence is no stranger to
our people.
He has many friends in Bay St. Louis
and Hancock county, and at the polls
in Augutt will have large following
He is a scholar, a business man and
thinker, and is possessed of the essen
tials which go to make the ideal legls-
lator

NEW P. O. OFFICIALS.

Hon. Richard Mendes, secretary O.
the city of Bay St. Louis for over Pc
Rod of seventeen years, is now post
master, with Mr.. Hilary Herbert Posey
as assistant postmaster, with Mr.. Bar
tholemew Spotorno chief clerk.
/ Mr.. Mendes received his commission
from Washington last Sunday and as
sumed active charge this morning, re-
lieving ex-Post Master L. J. Piernas
1 last night, after the affairs and books OF
the office had been carefully gone over
] and checked to the satisfaction of all
concerned.
The recent appointment Of Mr.. Men
des gives general satisfaction and it is
needless to say his services will be such
/ as to prove the selection as one that is
fitting and worthy. Mr.. Mendes is SO
we'll and favorably known to our people,
his abilities have been SO we'll tested by
his services to the public in past years,
that little or nothing is left to tell. No
man stands in higher esteem in the com
munity than he, and in his appointment
truly a representative citizen has been
selected to hold the important federal
position of post master for the city Of
Bay ST. Louis.
In turn he made another happy ap-
pointment in the selection of Mr.. Posey
as assistant. We know Of no better
choice, and The Echo feels as much gra-
titled at this appointment as it does over
the first by President Taft. A son of
the late Hon. Ben Lane Posey, lawyer
and Judge, also brother-in-law to our
own distinguished Congressman Eaton
]. Bowers, Mr.. Posey, aside from this
and upon his own initiative and the
public's cognizance, is representative
citizen and gentleman to whom has
been worthily entrusted an appointment
which carries with it a multiplicity Of
duties and weighty responsibilities, a.
long with moral obligations of commen-
surate Importance. The destinies of the
Bay St. Louis postoffice will Ger tainly
be we'll guarded.
The appointment of .Spotorno to be
clerk is also selection in which splend-
id judgment was exercised. Mr.. Men
des was mindful of his purpose to keep
local poliUlcs out of the pCstoffice and
appointed some one not only capable,
but one who had or showed no factional
bearing. Mr.. Spotorno is a younger
brother of Mr.. Jno. B. Spotorno, assist
ant cashier of the Merchants Bank, also
a brother of Mr.. l.. n. c.. Spotorno and
a son of the late Hon. L. Spotorno.
All three are personal friends Of The
Echo's and we know whereof we speak
when we say the public's interest will
be we'll taken care of by this trio of ef-
ficient and elegant gentlemen; obliging
and highly efficient, always more than
willing to serve their patrons in a sense
comprising the highest form of effici en-
CIV. At the end of their tenure of office
they will have won golden encomiums
and the lasting good will Of the public,
which is theirs at the start of their four
wear official Journey.

A MOTHFR'S CLUB IN BAY ST. LOUIS.
For The Echo.

A most harmonious Mothers Club IS
at work in Bay St. Louis. A good
friend heard express surprise at its ex-
istence, and asked who belonged to 1t,
where located, and what is it for and
what is it doing? Aye, there is the
rub! what doing?
The grave digger in Hamlet said ne
could call spirits from the Yasty deep;
the other replied, do they come, though?
A good working club need not count
many; that may make too much dis
cussion and wrangle.
The need here is for alertness IN
housekeeping, to see to our kitchens
primarily; that with our meat we get no
decayed stuff; to look after even our
domestics, that they are cleanly, or
derly anG kind. That children have
proper consideration for them, and that
our home precincts are hygienic, and
our "wash ladies" with houses Of thor
ough purity to carry the laundry into.
A small club of such kind has dis
covered that in our very midst there
abide, reside, ''Wife beaters". "Picture
it; think of it!' 1t shall not be; they
must be reported and given overto our
mayors court. He will give them the
limit of the municipal law; but we must
see that our Legislature makes the Of
tense a penitentiary one. Thus we can
answer a few questions.

Louis ]. Piernas; Ex-POst Master.

Louis J. Piernas, colored, turned over
the Bay ST. Louis postofice to his sue
cessor last night at the hour OF II
O'Clock, when his commission expired
by virtue of another appointment made
to succeed him.
The former postmaster has served the
people of Bay St. Louis most efficiently,
and if any reasonable complaint as to
his services has ever been made we have
never heard of it, nor, possibly anyone
else. His incumbency has been charac-
terized by diligent and trustworthy at
tention, and he was ever at his post and
true to his duty His. work will stand
upon it's merits; under his administra-
ton the postoffice has been raised from
the fourth -cIass rank to that OF third.
He was first appointed by Mr.. Wanna
maker, postm aster general, April Is,
1889; again on July 18, 1892; again
on May 27, 1898; again on June q, 1902;
the last time on June 1, 1906. He served
under four administrations, namely:
Presidents Harrison, Mckinley, Roose-
velt and Taft. During the Cleveland
administration Hon. J. E. Saucier
served.
AS a servant of the public he has
made a splendid record, and it stands
today, as it always will, to his credit; it
is an imperishable asset and in future
will stand him in good stead. Already
he has an offer of a federal position al
Washington with good pay, but he does
not intend leaving Bay St. Louis, and
he will take long rest.
