REVISION OF CRIMINAL LAWS.
Governor Favors Appointment of a Com
mission.

The following message was sent to The
legislature by Gov. Brewer, which is sug-
gestive and Significant
Gentlemen of the Mississippi Lcgis-
lature:
81 desire to call your attention to the
great necessity for a reformation OF the
criminal laws and procedure of this state,
and in my judgment the best and most
systematic way TO do this would be the
passage Of a statute authorizing the gov,
ernor to appoint three able criminal law
yers to revise the criminal laws and pro,
cedure. This can be done at small cost
and will greatly facilitate the bringing
OF the guilty to their just deserts.
81 again reiterate that l do not be.
lieve there is anything that can do more
to advance the moral welfare, the indus
trial development and aid us in the
march to a higher civilization than a
splendid code of criminal law and pro-
cedure that may be plain and easily en-.
forced"
