What the Star said Monday, that the
negro rapist Johnson would be more
severely punished by legal execution
than by lynching is amply proven. He
has writhed in an agony of terror
from the moment his sentence was pro-
nouneed, and in his Imagination will
be hung at least once every waking
hour until his neck breaks. If he had
been Iynched in twenty-four hours
after his crime, he would have es-
capped much deserved punishment

SPECIAL SESSION ADJOURNED.

The special session of the Mississippi legiela-
ture called by Governor Brewer adjourned Sat-
urday after being in session five days. The
specific purpose for which the extraordinary
session was convened was accomplished in the
passage of an act authorizing the Delta to issue
one million dollars in bonds to protect the proper
ty adjacent to the river from the danger of
overflow. This bill was passed without amend
ment and signed by the Governor.
The only other feature of the session was the
confirmation of Governor Brewers appointees
and the authority embodied in a resolution Civ
ing the governor the right to borrow ten thous-
and dollars with which to defray the expenses
of the peniteptiary investigation.
At one time some opposition was raisedi in
the Senate to the confirmation of the governors
appointees but this opposition did not develop
into sufficient force to bring on a fight. All ap:
pointees on the bench and to the Boards of
eleemonsynary institutions were confirmed.

PRACTICAL EDUCATION NEEDED.

The greatest task confronting our educational
leaders today is that of making education prac-
tical. And it is gratifying to find a general
awakening to this fact."-The Progressive
Farmer.
Professor w. H. Smith in his address before
the graduating class at the close OF our graded
sch COL called attention to the fact that only a
small per cent of that number who matriculate
finish the course. There were five who finished
and received their diplomas. According to
Professor Smiths figures in a school with the
enrolment of six hundred there should have
been ffty-fve to finish the course and receive
diplomas. The only reason that can be assigned
for this lack Of interest by this large majority
is lack of interest in the curriculum, the failure
of the curriculum to appeal to the better judg-
ment of pupils and parents. The age has be-
come intensely practical and IN all business this
fact is fully recognized. Only in our education
al system are we blind to the signs OF the times
and refuse to meet the demand made upon US
by the boys and girls who are leaving school
every year to enter the business walks OF LIE.
Our diplomas are earned after years OF de-
p~rivation and toll, but only in rare instances 40
they carry with them theaopen sesame to places
of profit and independence. There is a growing
tendency on the part of the young to enter up
on the affairs of life much earlier than in form
er years. The exigencies of individual cases
Frequently force the young to embark upon a
life of business and in most cases they are un-
fitted for positions that require skilled handl-
work. Under our educational system their MINDS
have been cramped with studies that furnish a
certain mental training, but they are wholly lack
ing in that training which makes of them prac-
tical laborers in any particular field. 1t is we'll
enough for our boys and girls to know something
of medieval and ancient history, about the
origin of language, but it is more important
that they should have a comprehensive know
ledge of the rudiments and practical training a.
long some line that will fit them for some occu-
patton as soon as they leave school. We need
to educate" the hand as we'll as the mind, and
our boys and girls will be dropping out before
they finish just so long as we leave out of our
curriculum those practical things which are be-
coming more and more a necessity to a child's
education.

TWO CENT RATE UPHELD.

The Supreme court of the United States on
Monday handed down decisions sustaining the
states of Missouri, Arkansas, Oregon and. West
Virginia in fixing intra-state passenger rates
and placing a maximum freight rate on intra-
shipments.
The legislation which was attacted in these
suits before the court included two cent pas
senger rates in Arkansas, Missouri and West
Virginia, and a maximum freight rate in the
states of Missouri and Arkansas.
The Court followed the rule laid down in the
Minnesota case decided last week in which it
was held that a two cent passenger rates was
not confscatory and that the state had a right
to fix rates on business within its borders.
These decisions have firmly established the
principle of state rights in controlling public
service corporations and it is now left to the
state to fix reasonable rate of both passenger
and freight business,
Mississippi was among the first of the states
to purpose a two cent passenger rate, but at
the time this measure was presented to the
legislature there was a money panic prevailing
and the people and the legislature did not
press the matter. Under present conditions
it will be no hardship on most of the
roads in the state to put in a two cent rate and
at the session of the legislature in January this
rate should be made the maximum for passenger
service.
Considering the policy of nearly all the roads
to water their stock the legislature should fix a
rate that would bring a fair return on the actual
physical valuation of the roads. This the roads
can furnish if they are disposed to do so.
In the absence of it, however, the legislature
can only act with the lights before them and
fix such rates as they believe fair and just.

TUPELO. MISSISSIPPI, JUNE 20. 1918
REGULATE CONGRESSES.

At the meeting of the Cotton men at their
state organization last week in Jackson the
proposition was advanced to secure regulation
of the congresses of the state.
The compress is a public service corporation
and the business public is very generally affect
ed by the manner in which this very important
feature of the cotton business is handled. I'm
der present conditions the compress business is
arbitrarily handled and there is no appeal from
a rule which the heads of these institutions
might promulgate.
In connection with the railroads they are in
position to dictate the course of cotton turned
oyer to them and the buyer and seller are wholly
at their mercy. Other states have found it
necessary to supervise the congresses and the
position taken by our cotton men of the state is
not without precedent. The next legislature
should pass a bill placing the supervision of all
congresses in the state under the railroad COM
mission. The public is so vitality affected that
the corporations should be placed under the
control of the state.

BONDS SOLD.

THE lowest rate Of interest bid for the
Tdpelo school house bonds, was 6 per cent. It
wasnot accepted. "-Aberdeen Examiner.
Our esteemed contemporary. the Aberdeen
Examiner, notes the statement which appeared
in our issue before the last that we had failed
to sell our school bonds. The day following the
appearance of this item in our columns, one of
our local banks, the Peoples Bank & Trust Co..
took the entire issue of s25, 900 at par at i've per
cent. Although the bond markets have been
all to pieces of late, yet our municipal bonds
are of such exceptional value that our home
people take them at a lower rate than many
municipal bonds are selling rather than let out
siders have them.
