War Veterans Protest
New Pension Order

G.. A. r. veterans are protesting
against the new edict of the Pension
Office to the effect that soldiers of the
civil war must give proof of their fam
lily names and their employment from
1850 to 1860. A Bible record of their
families is being made by the G. A. R.
The contention of the veterans is that
the Pension Office ruling virtually null
lifies the Sherwood act of 1912. which
allowed the payment of pensions
amounting to $50 per month without
proof of age and family history. The
veterans say that it would be impos-
sible for some of the colored veterans
to furnish the data demanded.

DISCUSS LARGESS .......
TO SENATE WIDOWS
Many Opinions on Kenyon's
I Resolution of Inquiry on
J. Salary Donations.

The resolution of Senator Kenyon,
which proposes to abolish the Senate
practice of granting one years salary
of a deceased Senator to his family or
widow has stirred up a lot OF talk IN
Senate circles and elsewhere.
The talk centers around the question
whether public money ought to be so
freely given or whether the practice
should be discontinued. Widows of
Senate employees are given six months
salary, and at times a years salary.
Now. in the case of the death of a
rich Senator. or one comfortably we'll
to-do, the question raised by Senators
Kenyon and Borah is whether it is not
a wrongful waste of public. money and
needless prodigality to give the widow or
family a years salary. 1t is argued
they do not need it, and the cost to the
public purse. ought not to be allowed.
Another side of the question is being
argued with much force, also. 1t is
pointed out that many of the men fn
the Senate are poor. Some of them are
poor from having spent years in pub
lie, life. The wears salary that goes to
the widow or children in such cases is
sometimes little short of an actual ne
cessity. -s--+.z.s +.
The same situation obtains in the
House. but it is less conspicuously no.
ticed there, for the reason that a large
percentage of the members of that
body only serve a term or two, and
then are relegated to private life. = =
Some interesting examples are cited OF
Sepators who at the time of their death
had little OF this worlds goods to leave
their families. One of those commonly
referred TO and well known in Senate
circles is that of Senator Bob Taylor
OF Tennessee. "Fiddling Bob of Happy
Valley three times governor of his
State and one term in the House, had
earned large sums on the lecture plat
form. He had ylectured North. South
East. and West, and had delighted vast
audiences. Few men in the country
p.ade more money than he in this man.
ner. Generous in the extreme, most Of
ii went to gay off church debts, to help
out needy friends, and to benefit others
than himself. When he died no man
who ever sat in the Senate was richer
than he in the flood of heartfelt memor-
les that followed after him to his grave,
hut he left little money or property.
This was a case where the payment of a
years salary was not objected to, and
It would be possible easily to recount
many others.
For the reason that so many men in
rublic life are poor, though there are
rich exceptions, II is likely that the Sem
ate will adhere to the old practice and
the House likewise.

Sothern and MarIowe
Please in Macbeth"


shakespeare's memorable tragedy,
Macbeth" was last nights bill In tho
Belasco Theater, with E. II. Sothern
in the title roe, Miss Marlowe playing
the part of Lady Macbeth. These two
actors have been seen in these parts
several times before In Washington. bur
interest in their reappearance In these
roles was not lessened by this fact.
Probably they have never given a more
inspiring or appreciated performancs
of this tragedy than that of last even
ing.
While Miss Marlowes exquisite beauty
and rare charm do not conform to such
character as that of Lady Macbeth,
she gave the part IN a convincing and
altogether satisfying manner. Her
work was finished and artistic. The
work Of Mr.. Sothern was sincere and
satisfying throughout His acting Was
exceptionally fine in the scenes that
preceded and followed the murder of
Duncan, and In the scenes with Mss

was given to both, actors -

POLITICIANS WATCH
|. {. {. VACANCIES
Wilson Soon to Fill Places of
Prouty and CIements-Spec-
uIation Is Rife.

Appointments to the Interstate Com
ing a lot of attention. This attention
has stirred up little general notice, but
the railroads. some of the shippers, and
various men in Congress and politicians
are giving It notice. Much more pulling
and hauling than appears on the sur
face is going on.
The resignation of Commissioner
Prouty to take charge of the physical
valuation work leaves a vacancy to be
filled by the President. and the term OF
Commissioner Judson G. Clements will
end on December 81. That means that
President Wilson has the opportunity
to fill two places on the commission.
Whether Commissioner Clements is to
succeed himself is being much dis
cussed. Partisans of other candidates
are trying to pry him loose from the
commission. He is one of its oldest
members in respect to service.
Judge Clements, Judge Prouty and
Franklin K. Lane, now Secretary of the
Interior, have been accounted the
cent years. and It is well-known that
Judge Clements has been a leader In
favor of a vigorous policy of regulation
OF the railroad properties.
The opposition to Judge Clements Is
arguing that he is now siXty-seven
years old. and will be debarred from
serving a full term il he is reappointed.
President Wilson is being urged not
to name him for that reason. On the
other hand, some of the strongest men
on the Interstate Commerce committees
have gone to the President and told
him that it will be a great mistake to
fail to reappoint Judge Clements. and
that 1t will be like removing the back
bone of the commission. One of the
strong supporters of Judge Clements
The Washington times., 1913-10-31

is Judge Adamson, of Georgia, chair
man of the House Interstate Commerce
Committee.
1t has been talked here for some days
that former Governor Glenn. of North
Carolina would be named to succeed
Judge Prouty. Friends of Judge Gle
ments fear if Glenn is named some man
from the East will be chosen for the
place now filled by Judge Clements.
When Judge Prouty leaves the commits
sion, New England, New York, and the
northeastern quarter of the country will
have no representative on the board,
and It is argued that considerations of
geography demand that one of the two
commissioners to be named before the
year ends must be from that quarter.

Tupelo's Streets.

Realizing that the streets of a
city furnish a true index to the
character of the administration,
our city officials during last year
began the construction of as
phalt and mecadam streets. AL
ready the business portion of the
city has been laid in asphalt.
Commencing at the Union sta
ton the principal business streets
have been laid in this splendid
street material. The streets are
laid in sheet asphalt, which is
composed of the best grade of
Trinidad asphalt and sand with
a limestone dust as a filler, laid
one and one-half inches thick on
four and one-haIf inches of solid
concrete and rolled to perfect
compression with a heavy roller
and left absolutely voidless with
a surface impervious to rainfall.
The material gives US a most
magnificent street and the in
vestment was a wise one.
Advertisements are now run
ming in cur columns for bids to
construct about six miles Of ma
cadam streets. which will be laid
as early as the weather will ad-
nit.
These streets will be laid in
heavy concrete properly drained
and graded. The work will be
done with the idea that each
succeeding year will add to the
travel over them and the future
will be thus anticipated.
The streets are broad, shaded
and Systematically laid out. The
sidewalks are 6 feet wide in the
resident portion and 10 feet wide
in the business portion of the
city.
We now have 10 IL miles of
granolith or cement sidewalks
and several miles more will prob
ably be laid this year.

Schools.

One of TupeIo's special prides
is her magnificent school system.
Keeping in touch with the pro-
gressive educational movement
of the state and the South, there
has been developed a school here
that compares favorably with
any of the schools in our larger
cities.
The heads of the school have
been men of learning and have
kept fully abreast of the times.
Their efforts have been crowned
with success and pupils leaving
our high school have been adj
mitted to the state institutions
on certificates issued here. The
work is being ably prosecuted by
Professor j. G. Windham, sup
erintendent, assisted by an able
corps of teachers who are select
ed from among the leadieg edu-
Gators of the state. The school
building was erected Is years
ago to accommodate the needs of
agrowing town, but the demands
for room has far outstripped the
building. Five hundred and
e~ighty-fve pupils are now en-
rolled, with new ones applying
weekly. Another building is
under contemplation to accomo-
date the increasing numbers.
Located on an eminence that
overlooks a splendid grove of
magnificent oaks the high school
of Tupelo occupies an ideal loca-
ton. The grounds are ample for
every convenience and pleasure,
and the children of Tupelo whose
education has been or will be
gained under such delightful
surroundings can but remember
the scenes of. their childhood
with purest delight.

FIRST NATIONAL BANK.

One of the most important
factors in the business develop

and quality of the banking insti-

banks in the state there are only
16 on the honor roll, and of this
number Tupelo has the distinct
ion of having one of them. This
is the First National Bank of
Tupelo and has been on the honor
roll since January LIST, 1910. TO
get on the honor roll your sur
plus account must equal or ex-
coed your capital stock. The
First National Bank is the only
bank in Northeast Mississippi
that has this distinction. To
gain this enviable position we
must have the confidence Of the

proud.
