of the Snead farms, and the note left

Skinning the Pension Roll.

That Mississippi has a pension scam
dal seems to be an open secret. In the
debate on the pension bill, when the old
soldiers of the house and sufficient
majority of other members voted with
them to increase the pension budget to
100000 a year from the 100000 rec
commended by the committee, it was
charged in debate that if the pension
rolls were purged of those not entitled
to draw, the $5oO,O0o would be more
than ample, especially as the old soldiers
of the house have grabbed the $4,000
too, that was being used to pension the
old negro servants. In one county there
were thirty-five ''blind widows" drawing
first-class pensions. When the auditor
investigated, convinced that the roll was
being padded and gouged, a revised list
was sent in with only three on it. The
number of first-class pensions is also
abnormally large.

Mississippi Has Had the Recall.

1t is not generally known that Mis-
sissippi was one of the first states in
the union to adopt the ''recall' of judges
Mississippi has had the recall of
judges since 1882. This does not seem
to be a matter of general knowledge
Out of seven lawyers in the legislature
who were asked if it was fact that
the recall of judges obtained in Missis-
sippi, not one of them answered in the
affirmative. Yet it is fact.
Section So of the constitution of 1890
gives it, and in the following words:
Section SO. For reasonable cause,
which shall not be sufficient grounds
of impeachment, the governor shall,
on the joint address of two-thirds of
each branch of the legislature, remove
from office the judges of the supreme
and inferior courts, but the cause or
causes of removal shall be spread on the
journal, and the party charged be noti-
fled of the same, and have an opportuni-
ty to be heard by himself or his counsel
or both, before the vote is finally taken
and decided"

VIRTUALLY KILLED BY SENATE
BELIEVED PRESIDENT WILL
NOT SUBMIT THEM.
DIXON AIDED IN ITS DEFEAT
Smith of Michigan, Supposed Taft
Supporter, Joined With Opponents
to Pact as Drawn by the
Administration.

Washington, d. C.-Advisers of
the Taft administration acknowledged
that the Taft peace treaties are dead,
and they probably will not be submit
ted in their present mangled form to
France and England for ratification
BY a vote of AZ to 40, the senate
eliminated from the treaties the vital
paragraph relating to the joint high
commission and otherwise curtailed
their scope.
Negotiations that were already un-
der way for samiliar treaties with
Germany, Switzerland, Japan and pos
sibly one or two other countries, are
knocked in the head as the result of
the action by the senate. President
Taft's arbitration plans have in fact
met with defeat.
Senator Bacon and his colleague,
who forced the modification, declared
that nothing had been lost in the
cause of peace because 45 nations
were now parties to The Hague con-
vention.
responsibility for having defeated the
arbitration program. with the excep-
tion of three senators, the Democrats
voted solidly for the elimination of
the joint high commission paragraph
They were, however, supported by
several Roosevelt Republicans. The
vote of Senator Dixon of Montana,
Roosevelt's political manager, alone
was sufficient to turn the tables
against Presidepf Taft
Likewise, President Taft can at-
tribute his defeat to Senator Lorimer
of Illinois, who joined with the Demo
Gratis in voting against this vital
clause of the treaties Besides Lori
mer, Senator Smith of Michigan was
the only supposed Taft supporter who
joined with the opponents of the
treaties as drawn by the administra-
ton
The complete overthrow Of the ad-
ministration forces was entirely un-
expected, President Taft having been
assured shortly before the voting be-
gan that the section of the treaties
which he regards as vital would not
be eliminated.
The treaties in their amendM form
were passed by the senate with only
three dissenting votes-Martin of
New Jersey and Reed of Missouri,
Democrats and Lorimer of Illinois, .

Palmer, a young Baptist minister, for

it is feared that more dead may be

State Expenses.

With all the talk of economy and cut
ting down expenses by the present leg
islature, it is apparent that the volume
Of appropriations will run considerably
over that of the previous body of law
makers, for the biennial period. In
round numbers, the budget for the past
two years was s7,771, 900. For the next
two years it win nearly, if does not quite
reach $s,0OO,ooo in spite of the siren
aous efforts of tha lawmakers to hold
expenses down.

CUTS SCHOOL APPROPRIATION.
Agricultural and Mechanical College Bill
Meets Opposition.

Agricultural and Mechanical College Bill
Meets Opposition.
Jackson.-The bouse was thrown into
turmoil over the appropriation bill fox
the maintenance and support of the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College at
Starkyille. Early in the session a bill
was introduced carrying an appropria-
tion of about $3s0,O00 for the support
of the institution. The appropriations
committee took hold of the bill, made an
investigation of the workings and ex-
penditures of the college, held hearings
and then whitfield it down to about $780,
600, or reduction of 100000 from the
estimates. After the measure had thus
been cut and pruned it was brought into
the house and Chairman Morrison called
it up for passage. A battle royal then
began. Those who favor small appro-.
priations, went after it with amend
ments, with the view of further reduc-
ing the appropriations.
Chairman Morrison, in his statement
to the house, said that the committee
had cut out or reduced all of the items
that the college could stand, but the OPP
position forces thought the institution
could stand more, and they slashed
away at the bill, with the result that
most of the proposed expenditures were
further scaled down.
This aroused considerable feeling among
the members of the house, which mani
tested itself when the roll was called on
final passage.
Sixty-nine affirmative votes, or a ma-
jority of all of the members elected, are
required to pass an appropriation bill.
On the lineup the supporters of the
amended bill could not muster but 63
votes. Six short of the necessary 90,
while 81 votes were cast against the
bill.
A storm of applause swept over the
hall when it was announced that the bill
had failed to pass. What the attitude
of the senate will be toward the bill
when it reaches that body is sub
ject of considerable speculation.
The house passed three other appro-
priation bills, namely, $4,000 for de-
fraying the expenses of the farmers
institute workers of the Agricultural
and Mechanical College, an appropria-
tion for the support of the branch ex-
pertinent station at Holly Springs and
an appropriation for the support of the
State Institute for the Blind at jack
son.
provision was inserted In the APP
Precipitation for far14ers' institute work
stipulating that no part of the money
should be expended for tips to walters,
shoe shines, drinks, hair cuts, tickets to
shows, etc. This was to prevent further
scandals. An itemized statement from
the farmers institute workers, submit
ted on demand of the Legislature, dis
closed the fact that some of the states
money had been spent in that way in
the past.
The state of Mississippi viii not be
represented at the San Francisco exposi-
ton. Last week the senate passed q
bill providing for the appointment of a
commissioner to 60 to San Francisco
for the purpose of selecting a site for
an exhibition building. The bill was
called up in the house and indefinitely
postponed.

A Big Amount of Money.

Mr.. Evans made the astonishing state.
ment that appropriations for the next
biennial period have reached, or will
reach the sum of $6,4OO,O0O, and as
yet the pension bill for the two years,
carrying approximately another million
and half, is yet to be considered Mr..
Evans, however, wanted to take the
money from the A. & NJ. College and
give it to the agricultural high schools
of the state, and agreed that the greatest
good to the greatest number would be
accomplished In that manner.
