HIGH COURT o. X. S EXTRA
DITION ORDER.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 12.-W. {
Walters, itinerant peddler, in JaI
at Columbia, Miss, must be TAX
en- to Opelousas, La, for trial on
charges of kidnapping little Roh.
ert Dunbar.
The Supreme Court of Miss
issippi Monday morning handed
down a decision denying the ap
peal of Walters to prevent his eX.
tradition.
The proceedings were directed
mainly against Governor Ear
Brewer, challenging his right to
sign and grant the extraditioI
from Governor Hall Of Louisiana
The appeal was argued two weeks
ago.
This is the last step possible III
State courts for Walters in his
fight against eXtraditiOn.
The Supreme Courts decision
holds that Governor Brewer was
fully within his constitutional
rights in granting the requlsiton,
and the habeas corpus proceed
ings instituted to prevent the re-
turn of Walters are dismissed.
There was only small crowd
in the courtroom when the opin-
ion was handed down, none OF
the attorneys interested being
present.
The opinion holds that the in
terstate extradition of criminals
is governed by the laws of the
United States, and in case OF
this character the governor is
not presumed to exercise discre-
tionary power.
All of the requisition papers
sent by the Louisiana authorities,
says the supreme court, were in
regular form and duly anthenti-
Gated, and when a demand is
made in this form it becomes the
duty Of the governor to grant the
process. THE governor should
merely assure himself that the
party involved is fugitive from
Justice. 4

WHERE THE TROUBLE LIES.

What our Southern farmers
mainy need to do is not to cher
ish the delusion that farmers in
other sections have better eli
mate, but to practice better
scheme of working hours. The
farmers in the West have not
only found that they can accomp-
hsh a great deal more with less
labor if they used improved Ia
bor-saving machinery, but many
of them are finding out that they
can accomplish just as much with
shorter hours of work if they use
more system. A case in point
was given me by Mr.. N. f. Chris
tensen, of Litchfield, Minnesota.
"We had a farmers club, " he
told me, and in discussing the
matter, we decided that we could
get Just as much done with short
er working days. Instead OF
keeping at it from sunup till sun
New Iberia enterprise and independent observer. (New Iberia, La.) 1902-1944, 1914-01-17

to reduce the proportion of work
necessary i'll the heat of the day,
farm work would be even pleas
anter here in the South than in
the Northwest-provided we use
the same labor-saving and labor
easing implements and machin-
cry. Which reminds me that /
was about to forget to say that a
great proportion of the two
horse cultivators in the West arc
equipped with umbrellas or can
vas tops that enable the farmer
not only to ride while he does his
work, but to sit in the shade
while he works.!
Nor need we delude ourselves
with the idea that we cannot
have these two to four-horse
plOws, harrows, and cultivators
in the South about as generally
as in the North There are
mountainous sections, of course,
where the land is too rough; but
the fact is that even in our coast
al plain regions where the land
is as level as a dancing-f floor, it is
no uncommon sight, lin spring
time, to see six men blowing n
horse apiece. And perhaps you
will find these same farm-owners
complaining of the scarcity OF
labor" when thcy are already
using twice as much labor as they
need!
IT our Southern farmers who
have from four to twenty horses
will quit doing one-horse farming
that is to say, quit one-horse
implements and if the farmers
who have only one horse will use
every opportunity for co-operat-
ing with their neighbors in buy
ing the large two to four-horse
plows, cuklvators, etc, for joint
use and ownership, we may soon
learn to make as much profit as
the Western farmers make and
to do it with as little muscular
labor. u. It hNS
But We can never do il with
the one-herse system and the one
crop system.-CCarenee Poe in

DRUNKENNESS THE CAUSE
OF MOST DIVORCES.

Drunkenness is responsible for
8 per cent of the eases OF domes-
tic nnhapplness that have been
tried in the Court OF Domestic
Relations at Chicago in the last
year, according to the courts re-
ports. Interfering mother-ln-
laws caused trouble in only six
per cent Of the eases, and the
father-in-law in only one. The
causes of family qparrels serious
enough to reach the court were:
immortality of husband, Il
per cent
immortality of wife, 2 per cent
I'll temper of husband, 3 per
cent.
Ill temper Of wife, 3 per cent.
Inmaturity, 4 per cent.
Laziness, 3 per cent.
Sickness, l per cent.
Other cases, IA per cent. 1

down now, therefore, my field
hours are from 7 80 in the morn
ing antil $50 in the afternoon
and by 6:30 p. m. l have every
thing finished. And | really do
more work in this shorter-hour
day than | used to do when |
worked all the time. Moreover,
this policy has made all the diff
ference in the world in the atti-
tude Of our young people towards
farm life. Formerly they thought
it was all drudgery; now they
get some time for recreation and
| believe it is due to our shorter
working day and the neighbor-
hood social meetings that they
are no longer leaving the farm as
formerly"
| have no doubt but that 80
per cent of our Southern farmers
could also accomplish just as
much by working shorter hours

If President Wilson can go 25
miles on Sunday morning to at.
tend church, why cannot we, who
live around the corner from the
church, go every Sunday st least
once We are told in the news
items on Monday that the presi-
dent was the cause of number
of church goers going to
service last Sunday. He motored
from Pass Cristian to Biloxi to at
tend divine service. The church
was half filled with worsMpers,
but as soon as it became narrated
that he was there, the church be-
gan to fill with curiosity seekers.
Perhaps they were attentive

did them good and caused them
