POLITICAL STRIFE WILL
HAMPER ALL LEGISLATION
Bitter Feud Between Governor and
Lieut.. Governor Is Causing Much Ap-
prehenslon - Bitterest Fight Since
Reconstruction Days Expected.

Jackson Miss, Dec. 29.-The bitter
Lieut.. Gov. Bilbo, with the latter's in
dictment at Vicksburg on a bribery
charge, is causing much apprehension
among state officials, and heads of
state institutions, and all others inter
ested in new legislation to be proposed
at the approaching legislative session.
That this political strife is going to
hamper all forms of legislation, and
produce endless complications, is the
general belief in all quarters. 1t is
known that the present intention of
Lieut.. Gov. Bilbo's followers is to be-
gin impeachment proceedings against
Gov. Brewer, oust him from office, and
install Bilbo in his stead. This means
a fight the like of which has not been
witnessed in Mississippi since recon
struction days. Both sides are expect
ing struggle of this sort and get
ting in readiness for it, the friends of
Gov Brewer feeling confident that in
spite of Bilbo's strong following, he
will not be able to accomplish his pur-
pose.
The amount of new legislation to
be proposed at the session which con-
venes here next Tuesday is unusually
large and some of the measures are
vitally important While it is pos
sible that the state could manage to
get along without any of the new laws
of general character being suggested,
it is essential that the revenue and
appropriation bills be given proper con
sideration,, and, with the Brewer-Bilbo
political feud to be fought to finish
it is not even certain that these bills
will get the consideration that they
deserve. For instance, many of the
benevolent and educational institu'
tions are badly in need of enlargement

mates are crowded into wards intend

no hope of eyerting the political clash
and a prolonged struggle will meal
complications of serious character con
fronting nearly every bill introduced
Fuel will be added to the flames q
the fact that the legislative session
yalso virtually means the opening of tn
lnext state campaign, and the Jesse
political figures are going to get bus

FARMERS WEEK BEGINS.

State College, Pa, Dec. 29.-Farm-
ers' Week, an influential feature of
the rural uplift movement in this
state, began today at the Pennsyl-
vania State College. Hundreds of
agriculturists from all parts of the
state are in attendance. The meeting
will be marked by 100 lectures and
practical demonstrations. The rural
school, the principles of cooperation.
plant breeding, animal husbandry,
on the farm are among the subjects
that will receive attention.

from IL to 18 years. For nearly a
decade the late Mrs. Harriet B. Kells,
president of the state w. G. T. U.,
labored valiantly along these lines,
and secured the passage of bill rails
ing the age of consent to fifteen years.
The leading women of the state now
want it placed three years higher.
The fourth request is for the physi-
cal examination of all public school
children-a modified system of medi-
cal inspection in the schools, applying
alike to the cities and towns and rural
districts.
The committee concludes with a
demand for a statute making women
eligible for the Offices of state and
county superintendent of education,
on school boards, and on the boards
of trustees of the various state insti-
tutions.
This movement is in no way allied
with the fight for statutory suffrage
although some of the prominent lead
erse are members of both organiza
tions. The address of the committee
has been placed in the hands of every
member of the legislature, and an
executive committee will come tc
jackson Immediately after the law
making body meets next week to pusf
their demands.

Women To Urge Reforms
At Next Legislative Session

Jackson, Miss, Dec. 29.-Aside from
their fight for statutory suffrage, the
women of Mississippi are going to
play a prominent part in legislation
proposed at the approaching meeting
of the state law-making body-provid-
ing the session does. not become too
stormy for the presence of the gentler
sex. which now seems imminent.
The Mississippi Fedration of Wom-
ems Clubs and allied organizations
have named central committee, with
Mrs. Lizzie George Henderson, of
Greenwood daughter of the late SEN
ator ]. 2. George, as chairman. This
committee has issued an earnest ad-
dress to the lawmakers setting forth
the reforms they hope to accomplish.
The address first mentions an i'm
proved child labor law, the present
statute on that subject being regarded
as virtually dead letter, because no
proper machinery is provided for its
enforcement.
The committee next asks for a
school for the instruction of juvenile
offenders and defectives-not state
reformatory, but an institution on
more humanitarian lines.
The next measure proposed is a
statute raising the age of consent

Wilson sat in a quaint little Presby-

heard remarkable sermon on the per-

to his Maker.
The President and Mrs. Wilson, ac-

came Unexpectedly avoiding crowd
that had collected at the little church
at Pass Christian, eight miles away,

by coincidence he developed with an

Gen. Villa was prompted to discuss
the subject by repetition of report
from Mexico City that Gen. Huerta
might resign in favor of a member Of
his Cabinet. AS the report also stated
that Gen. Huerta was talking Of TAX

not considered in any way as a posi-

The subject of peace, however,

the rebel leader was moved to outline
the rebels views in case future events
brought them consideration.
In substance the terms demanded
by the rebels are:

and his supporters.
The complete surrender to the

w. H. Thompson today made public a
letter he has received from Senator

portant bearing on the Kansas sena-
torial matter. Senator Kern takes the
view that Thompson is eligible under
the federal constitution and that he
is entitled to the place because he was
elected by the people, and further he
intimates plainly that If any one be-
side Thompson is elected by the legis-
lature he will have hard shedding when
he reaches Washington"
In his letter to Thompson Senator
Kern says: Il am surprised to learn
there is any objection to your election
to the q. S. senate after having the
endorsement you did at the polls. That
any one should conceive the idea that
you ought to be deprived of the fruits

my comprehension. The American peo-
pie are not now in the humor to be
