Newspaper Readers Make Good Students
Winona Times.

Winona Times.
An experienced school teacher
says that the pupils who have access
to newspapers at home, when COM
pared to those who do not, are bet
ter spoilers, better gramarians, and
punctuators, and read more under
standingly. They also obtain a
practical knowledge of geography
in about half the time it requires
other pupils. The newspaper is a
necessity III every modern home, a
fact which very few people would
care to dispute. And in view OF It's
cheapness in price, no family should
even attempt to get along without

there is work enough to do, good
work, upbuilding work, work that
will better the State and advance its
interests, a session cannot be too
long to suit us. But If it is to be a
scene of squabble between pigmies
characterized by attempts to repeal
good laws because others enacted
them; an attack upon able measures
because others reaped benefit there
from, then adjournment cannot be
too soon.

TIE END OF TUBERCULOSIS
Physicians Lack knowledge.
az aFoRGE III corr1s

By GEORGE W. coTTIs.
We may provide all the restric-
ton we wish. we may provide
hospitals and enact laws. but we
are making bricks without straw
unless we provide for funda-
mental, early diagnosis. l am not
afraid to day that IS per cent Of
the practicsng physicians in New
York today are unable to dag
nose inciplent tuberculosis. that
a majority of them do not cor
rectly diagnose even quite adj
vanced cases and that some do
not make a proper diagnosis
even after death. So it will be
a step in advance If we can pro-
cure expert physicians to exam
inc patients in each county with
out expense. And If we can
have early diagnosis by these
expect physicians, these expert
diagnosticians. the smaller coun-
ties Of the state will be greatly
benefited. for they are sadly In
need Of such assistance.

Legislature Lessons From Late Campaign

Ifthere were two lessons the late
campaign particularly brought out
for Mississippians in a lawmaking
way. they we're: An amendment to
the Primary Election Law requiring
the nomination by primaries for US.
Senator vacancies for Stort terms
created by deaths. resignation or
otherwlse,jus the same as is already
provided for expirations; SECOND,
an act prohibiting the sale and buy
ing of political influence by and from
a newspaper, and requiring clearer
keying of inspired matter with indi-
vidual signatures and paid matter
ind;ces. The first has been provided
by the introduction of bill couched
to cover the needs and so far it has
created no furore of opposition.
Editor Legislator Everett of Newton
County has risen to the occasion with
reference to the latter and drafted a
bill which with perhaps slight a.
mendments in passage will meet the
demands of time and abolish the
shameful running of subsidized sheets
in Mississippi, the sarcastic twist of
the good old Gil and DIS to the con-
trary, Notwithstanding. Unscrupu-
lous men get into the newspaper
ranks as well as other walks of life
and are not to be frowned into good
behavior by sugary lecturings on
professional ethics, but need the
strong arm of the law to restrain
them into correct department in po-
litical campaigns, else they abuse
that freedom guaranteed to the press
in the u. S. Constitution by special
amendment. and pervert liberty into
license. Here's hoping that Ever
ett's bill will prevail and we are GER
tain no right-minded newspaper man
will he hurt by it's adoption.

SINGAPORE. Sept l.
Speaking at tho trienniel meeting OF the
sarawak state council. Ra5ah Brooke re-
ferred to the growing prosperity OF the
country and the increases In the rubber.
pepper and other cultures. He looked. he
said. TO time and good government to
quen such evils at ad-huntins.
Referring to the future position OF the
country. tile rajah said the revenues
should be collected from just sources and
not from the sale of land which belonged
10 the Inhabitants. companies and CAPT
talists.
He outlined a scheme for the fornat ton
Of council OF old inhabitants OF Sara
wax in London Ito provide for tho sup
port OF the government in Europe against
those who might wish to intrigue against
and injire the independents or integrity
Of the country"
Brooke to injure the country as long as
he was alive. but harm might arise after
ward which might be prevented by
compact committee who would act as
trustees OF invested money. advisers In
financial affairs. upholders OF the indie
pendcnce OF tho state. and referees For
Sarewak affairs outside sarawak.
The rajah ended his speech by saying
with some emotion that this done. and
the edihco OF the state placed on
iirmer basis. he was prepared TO end his
life in happiness and contentment, having
worked to the last for tho good OF his
country and its inhabitants.
Behind this pathetic speech OF Rajah
Brooke. who is now SO years OF age
looms tie sinister plot to deprive Sara
wax of its Independence.
The intrigue has been going on for
long time. and there is real danger that
IL may soon bear fruition. and that
while Sarawak may nominally fall under
the direct control OF the British colonial
Office, II Will actually come into the pos
session OF an international syndicate OF
iinanciers Whose operations require care
full watching.
There is much oil and mineral wealth
In Sarawak, and Rajah Brooke's fears
arc apparently well founded.
The aged rajah. who began life in the
British navy. succeeded his uncle sir
James Brooke. in 1865. and. Ike his pred
ecessor. has been given the country
prosperity and good government.
