WATERS OF PACIFIC
NOW N CANAL
A Blast on Sunday Starts Mighty
Rush--Witnessed by Enthus-
iastic Thousands.

Washington, D. c., May %
The most interesting news from the
Canal Zone this year came with the
dispatches telling of the admission
of the waters Of the Pacific on Sun
day to the channel of the canal. A
blast of 81, $50 pounds of dynamite
was exploded which turned a mighty
rush of the western waters through
the displaced dyke below the Mira
flores locks, an event witnessed
amid great enthusiasm by many
thousands of people. It brings viv-
idly near realization the splendid
achievement of Uncle Sans engi-
neers and scientists. Evidently the
work on the canal will be pushed
with greater energy than ever.
The uncertainty of the situation
in the Orient, with growing pollt-
ical party in Japan muttering against
the United States, because of alien
land laws on the Pacific coast states,
is given such concern as inctes in
creased vigor in the realm Of public
work.

Postmaster General BurIeson, it

THE -|NALIENABLE
RIGHT TO REST
Supreme Court Of Mississippi
Establishes New Standard
For Other States
ssr'S to Follow.

The Supreme Court of Mississippi
has established new standard for
ot'ler. states to follow. 1t has hand
ed down. a decision which marks "a
new epochin the progress Of labor
le.g station. MN
This decisioiisy which has passed
almost without coprment, sustains
the validity Of the Mississippi ten
ho'r law enacted in. March. 1912.
Othetcourts have sustained other
ter -hour laws but the new and
startling feature Of the Mississippi
decision Is that for the first time In
the history Of the United States it
urllolds, as a reasonable measure,
a general law regulating the hours
of 'abor in manufacturing industries
applying to men and women alike.
Hitherto no general statute regu-
atng the hours Of work for men in
private employment has been sus-
.taiaed. Only in occupations mani-
festly dangerous to health have the
courts held that mans hours of
labor may be limited BY law, or in
an occupation, like the railroad
service, where public safety IS at
stake.
Z The Mississippi court in the New
man Lumber Company case has
broken new ground so far as the
work of men is concerned. Its de-
cision rests upon precisely the same
principle as that on which similar
laws applying only to women haze
been sustained by many courts, In.
Guiding the Supreme Court Of the
United States itself. namely, the
broader conception Of public health
aud welfare; the right of a state,
under its police powers, to preserve
tie people from the overfatigue and
exhaustion which follow excessive
hours of labor not only in the danger
O,.s trades. but in anv modern manu-
facture. m e
Some day perhaps said the
Mississippi court with fine decrimin-
alton, the inalienable right to rest
will be the subject Of litigation.
The Mississippi law in question
prohibits the employment Of any
2 arson more than ten hours a day
II manufacturing orrepairing except
il cases of emergency, or where
public necessity requires. The J.
j. Newman Lumber Company,
which operates saw and planning
n i'll plant and logging railroad, was
indicted for employing a. workman
h ore than ten hours. The company
f ed a demurrer to the indictment,
which was sustained by a local Judge.
The state appealed and the Su-
T eme Court Of Mississippi handed
G wn an extended opinion answer
II g the objections to the statute and
o1erruling the demurrer. !.

INTEREST SPREADING IN
COAST CONFEDERATION
Mobiles Action in Ratifying Con-
stitution Causes Favorable
Comment.

Interest IN the New Orleans, Mo-
bile and Mississippi Coast Confeder-
alton of Commercial Bodies is Sc read
irg, Mobile is the latest city 10
ratify the constitution Of the organ
ization. In commenting upon that
city's action the Biloxi Daily Herald
says:
"The interest which Mobile has
manifested all along in the project,
T. gether with its recognition of the
k,nship of Mobile and the coast,
has proven it one of the best friends
that Southern Mississippi has and
the participation of its commercial
organization with those of the coast
in this mutually beneficial federation
cannot fail to bring us all closer to-
eether. The neighbor city's Cham
her of Commerce has named five of
iSs leading members as representa-
tives In the confederation, men who
would lend great strength to any
association and the business men of
the coast are fortunate to have gain
ed the interest and the prospective
cooperation Of influential friends in
the nearby city. Mr.. Irvine, one Of
the leading members of the Mobile
delegation, is right when he says
that our interests are so closely inter-
woven that what affects one affects
al and what benefits one helps all. "

HOPES THE TRUNK LINE OUT Of
THE PORT OF PASCAG0ULA
WILL BE BUILT.
IS A PAYING ENTERPRISE
That is the Way That City Looks
Upon the Project-Corres-
9ondence With Mr..
Seaver.

Yazoo City is greatly interested
in the proposed building Of the Miss
ssppi Northwestern railroad out Of
Pascagoula, as is indicated by the
following from the Yazoo City
Herald:-
"It will be remembered that some
time ago the city council notified the
people of its intention to issue bonds
to the amount of $50, 900 for the
purpose of paying the cost of build
ing terminals for any road that might
run into Yazoo County from the
East as far as Carthage. The ordi-
nance was passed and publication
of same made. Some time since Mr..
Seaver, President of the Mississippi
and Northwestern Railroad, made a
proposition to this effect, but by
some cause at Biloxi, the starting
point Of the proposed route, it was
thought that the project was given
out entirely, hence the publication
made for the road.
Mr.. Seaver,- who has been igno-
rant of the fact as to whether a
petition had been filed against it or
not, writes to Mr.. E. L. Tarry, for
information on the subject.
Following is the letter:
II would like to know what your
people have decided, rs i will leave for
the North about the end Of the month
To enter into a contract with a con
struction company for building Of the
line frOm Pascag1ula to Omaha.
would like To know whether or not we
Shall put YaZOO on our map.
II have been so occupied with the
negotiations for the taking over Of the
Pascagoula Northern Railroad and
tile purchase of motive power and
equipment, that have not had time
~ come up and gp over the line, and l
will not have an Upportuuity 10 do so
before leave for the North 1t is
very PROBABLE that on my return the |
President OF the construction COM
pany vii, be with me. and we shall en- |
deavor 10 make trip over the line |
between Pascagoula and Greenville."
The starting point will now be
from Pascagoula instead of Biloxi.
1T is to be hoped that this line of
road will be built. as the writer we'll
knows that it will be paying in
vestment to Yazoo City and county,
from the fact that years gone by
thousands upon thousands of bales
of cotton were brought here from
the Eastern counties for shipment by
river-all or most all of which was
lost for want of some means of get
ting it lere. While we could not
expect as much as heretofore. we
can rest assured that we will receive
much more than the output, as the
Yazoo cotton market has always been
considered one Of the best in the
State. besides our lands will increase
in value"
