Senator Johnston, of Alabama,
has introduced a resolution in the
Senate calling on the Secretary
of State to furnish congress with
a list of all diplomatic and con-
sular appointments with the
salary paid each. This resolu-
ton was amended by Senator
John Sharp Williams, who would
have the list indicate the politics
of each and the administration
under which they were appoint
ed. The purpose of this reso-
luton, as stated by the Sena-
tors, was to show the unfair
discrimination against the South
in foreign appointments. The
District of Columbia, with $780,
600 people, have more appointees
to foreign missions than the
entire South, with a population
of "a, 600, 900. The South has
been practically ignored by the
republican administrations and
under the new regime Southern
representatives will demand that
this inequality be discontinued.
President Wilson, however, has
already indicated his purpose OF
giving the South a liberal share
in the distribution of all offices.

MA. BRYAN'S VISIT FRUITFUL

Following Mr. Bryan's visit to
Sacramento the legislature of
California will pass an anti-alien
land bill that will not prove OBJ
jectionable to the japanese. The
main feature of the bill provides
that all alien eligible to citizen
ship may acquire and hold land
in the same manner as citizens
of the United States. The state,
however, will reserve specifcal-
ly the right to enact any and all
laws relating to the acquisition
of or holding of real property by
aliens. The former bills were
aimed directly at the Japs an
aroused them to the point of re-
sentiment. In their contention
that California should not pass
such a law, they have shown and
impudence that does not set we'll

states rights and that. this gov
eminent should be run by our

CITY ouTcRowN OUR SCHOOLS

CITY ouTGRoWN OUR SCHOOLS
The record and steady growth
of Tupelo has caused us to con-
front a problem which we must
meet and the time in which we
must do so is limited. There are
now more than six hundred
children in our white graded
school and next session this num-
Der will doutless be increased by
fifty.
Our school building was erect
ed for a town of l ,500, we now
have in round numbers more
than 5000 people in Tupelo and
the separate school district.
Some time during the month OF
May the citizens of Tupelo will
be called on to vote on the ques-
tion'of whether or not we shall
construct a high school building
to relieve the congestion in the
present building. The need of
this new building is so impera-
tive that we can safely predict
the election will be carried favor
ably. We feel safe in saying
that this is a foregone conclusion.
With a new building provided
the question arises what are we
to do for teachers? The funds
that go to make up our school
fund, the city levy, the poll tax
and the Chickasaw school fund
is hardly sufficient to maintain
our school as it is. There are
only twelve teachers and in a
number of the grades they are
so crowded that the teachers are
unable to do the children justice.
No teacher should have more
than thirty-five pupils and better
work could be accomplished if
the number was limited to thirty.
Several of our neighboring towns
who have good schools have a
sufficient number of teachers to
place not over thirty students
under any teacher. Their work
is pleasant and satisfactory. In
order that we should cut the
number of pupils to the teacher
down to thirty-fve we will be
forced to have at least three
more teachers. The available
funds are not sufficient to employ
them. The trustees and Supt.
Windham will make an appeal to
the Board of Mayor and Alder
men to set aside more money for
the school. With the building of
permanent streets the annual
expense which our streets have
brought about, will be stopped.
With this burden out of the way
the city should set aside all fines
and forfeitures for school pur-
poses. We cannot afford to neg
lect the school in order that any
other department of the town,
save the water works and light
plant, may be kept up. The
water and light plants are self
sustaining and need no outside
support. The schools are in ur-
gent need of help and unless the
Board and Mayor come to the
rescue we will suffer more in the
future than we have in the past.
More funds are needed and must
be provided by some means.

The true inwardness" Of the opposi'

the refusal TO permit bankers TO control

entirety gave the bankers "a vastly more
generous representation than is accorded

Washington. oct INSTRUMENTATION
for an appropriation OF slCo,ooOoOo to de-

made by the Secretary of the Interior as
a result OF his two months trip.
Secretary Lane believes that the cost
OF living can be reduced by developing
the country west OF the Missouri River,
and II is his intention TO urge this policy
as one Of the big strokes Of the Wilson
administration. He called at the White
House to-day and in a general way out
lined his scheme TO the President. but he
expects TO formulate plans for message
10 Congress on the subject.
The general plan OF Mr.. Lane is to re-
vtve the GO West. young man advice
and to this end he will urge that Con-
gress make the undeveloped parts Of the
West attractive. He said to-day that he
would make specific recommendations for
the expenditure Of 100000 on irriga-
ton projects but had not decided wheth-
er he would ask for a direct appropra-
ton by Congress or work out some other
plan, although he did not believe that
private enterprises could achieve the re-
! suits.

velop the West IS a government-oWned

that there should be an overland route

expenditure for this purpose would be

sible 20 reduce the Price by developing
the West" said Mr.. Lane. "Other com
modities can be reduced in the same way,
as less than per cent OF the government

Mr. Lane believes that within five years
there would be complete return Of $780,
10000 spent on irrigation and reclama-
ton projects
"My idea is TO turn the eye of the ma

advantages and possibilities may be

WINGED that the cost Of living can be re-

this:

These slips are given to the floaters

dent we could get evidence against re.
peaters. I did not expect, however to
make such rapid progress We have been
astounded TO discover that good many
city employees are being used in the bold
est methods by the Murphy henchmen for
repeating. For example. a city employe
has relatives living in one OF the Dor.
oughs. They are planning to vote In
Queens, Manhattan and Brooklyn. Take
a family where they have four relatives,
and these four people will vote three
times for Murphy. Frankly, We are
afraid OF this sort of repeating, because
1t is much more dangerous and harder to
detect than the bringing in Of outside
fioaters."
