It is nothing short OF amusing
to hear the predictions Of some
citizens as to the prospective
candidates for judges and cham
cellors in this district. Some of
them have no more fitness for
these exalted places than has an
uneducated man for the Uniyer-
s;ty president. Yet, some men
have the audacity, commonly
called "unmi,isated gall" enough
to run. We are going to publish
list of these prospects from
time to time, and our notion is &c

petents? We are going to do on

EDITOR EAGLE:
The last week has been char
acterized by some good work and
some bad. The good work was
the completion OF the Kyle bank
ing bill. Both houses held a
conference and agreed upon the
amendments inserted uy the
House. The clause guarantee
ing deposits was kept in the bill,
Of course. and the date at which
all banks shall go under the law
was fixed by this conference at
May LIST. 1915. This datswas n
compromise and, while more dts
tant thar many OF Us wanted it,.
We; il will take the time possibly
for all banks to Get examined
and Set ready to come under the
Law. That many badly managed
banks will have 60 out OF ex-
istence on account of this law il
generally conceded. hut every
one admits that the sooner the
people know that a bank il insol
vent the better. IL will be diff
cult, after this laz IL put into ef-
feet next Nay, for = bank To fail.
The examiners will weed out
most II them and then the va
rious banks will have very little
risk TO run in tHe way of losing
any money because some bank
may fail. Anyway, all 6ePosi-
tors will be protected which Is
the purpose, in the NAN. Of this
Law.
There was considerable good
legislation along general lines the
past week. and all committees are
hard at work trying TO perfect all
bills referred to item, especially
the finance and appropriation
committees. They have not per-
fected the big appropriation bills
yet and there j. a good prospect
for a long drawn out wrangle on
many of these. There has been
considerable lobbying in behal Of

when they ought to have at least
81 500.
Most Of the low salaries which
Louisiana, Mississippi and other
southern states pay were estab-
hshed many years. ago. They
were probably suited 70 the times
and conditions. But thiy are in
some instances patheticaily mad
aquatic to these days of doubled
trebled and quadrupled cost Of
living.
In the long run the people
themselves are the sufferers by
the niggardliness of the legisla.

depreciation in the quality of the
service they receive. The resig.
nation Of Chancellor kincannor
is a case in point. No one ques'
tons his. ability nor underesti
mates the value OF his work in tn

University. But since Missis
sippi will not pay the price sucl
! services are worth, he is unwiil
, ing to continue in Office at per

Mississippi then must accer

Chancellor Kincannon has re-
signed as head of the University
of Mississippi, after seven years
Of faithful service, because it
costs him more to live than the
salary he receives.
When he took chargs of the

less decrepit condition. Under
his management it has become

HOW ABOUT THE ELECTION
OF OUR NEW JUDGES AND
CHsNCELI.oRS?

The new Law recently upheld
by the Supreme Court TO the ef-
fect that all judges and chancel-
Tors must now be elected by the
people, has caused a great oeal
VI commoiion among the people.
The opponents of the elective ju-
dietary have always contended
that the people were not able TO
select good men for these places.
The test is here upon that propo-
sition. That there are few men
who can afford to run for judge
at the present salary, all bust
ness men know; hence we are
confronted with this lsmentable
condition to start on. The result
lie, that We are going to have a
crop of candidates that the peo-
PIE should take care not to elect.
There will be few loud mouth
ed, ranting fellows that have. as
their only qualification a big
voice ssi a super-abundance Of
brass But that will not make
judge. While Mississippi had ali
her judges elected for many
years-from way back in the sos
up until 1865. and during those
years she had come of the most
distinguished men in the south
on the bench, yet times have
changed.
The snall political parasite is
abroad in the land, and he has
the audacity 10 run for anything.
} What cares he for a knowledge
Of the Law. He has no practice,
as rule. He wants the honor
Of JrDoE bestowed upon him;
. the salary is large enough for
him: 1t would be large enough
for such AZ half the present pay.
Il behooves our lawyers to be
alert, to get only the best men to
run. They should warn the pub
Ii in no uncertain terms against
the office seeker, the time server
and that class OF fellows who
havn't the legal fitness to make
. good justice Of the peace.
First, he should be a man Of hon
or; second, he should hold that
high rank in his profession that
all Esen recognize in him = law
yer Of not only ability and legal
experiences and learning in the
law, but also of tina; particular
temperament that is suited for
this most important work. Mis-
sissippi has suffered much from
incompetent lawyers on the
bench; she has in q fsx instan-
ces suffered much from having
men morally and tempermenialIy
unfit for the place.
Mr.. Lawyer and business man,
what are you going to do in the
way of getting q competent
Judge? Are you going to sit idle
and let some of these shy-sers
impose upon the public? The
time to start . move TO procur'
= the best men, and only the best
men is NOW.

Attorney General John c. Bell. who
came home from Europe by a Dutch
liner and slept on couch in the state
room of friend, sharply criticized the
State Departments work for Ameri-
cans in the war zone when he reached
Philadelphia last night
Mr.. Bell hold how party of tourists
in Munich. of which he was a member,
sent cable to the state Department
explaining their situation and asking
OF neglect on the part of the state De-
partment he declared was the failure
of the department to specify who was
to receive the money sent to France on
the cruiser North Carolina. He said
several persons returned with him on
the Rotterdam who had been forced to
undergo great inconvenience because
their friends had cabled them that they
had sent money, which, when 1t ar
rived, they could not get, since the State
Department had not specified to whom
Mr.. Bell was in Munich when the war
started, and said in Philadelphia last
night,
After war was declared there were
many Americans who were in serious
straits in Munich. During the mobili-
zation no trains were run for others
than the soldiers, although many spe-
ctal trains were made up for Americans
after the mobilization period was pass
ed.
when we left Munich we travelled on
freight boat down the Rhine four
days. We were often stopped and ask
ed to show our passports, while the
English on board were taken off by the
German soldiers. The trip to Rotter-
dam was slow and tiresome.
Some Americans had unpleasant
that the Americans were treated well
by Germans, who tried to make every
thing as pleasant as possible for those
who were caught in the mobilization.
"On the Rotterdam were $500 pas
sengers. The company officials and
ships officers did all they could for the
passengers, and | cannot speak too
hiPhly of them. In the dining saloon
they served 5000 meals daily. begin
ming at in the morning and contfnu-
ing until late at night.
81 believe few of the passengers
who were travelling second class ate in
the diningroom, but those in the steer
age, among whom were many cultured
and rich persons, did not Some of the
passengers in the steerage who were
glad to get such accommodations suf-
fered many hardships. Some of them
did not even bring a towel -.
There were many pathetic incidents
leaving the continent, the saddest of
which was the death of woman, who
was the wife of New York minister
just as she and her three children We're
about to board the vessel. She appar-
emily died of heart trouble and per-
haps the shock of being safe at last
was more than her overwrought nerves
could stand.
while we were in Rotterdam wait
ing to sail many special trains came in
all loaded with Americans. One train
came from Carlsbad which had been
chartered by a number of Americans,
who paid 10000 francs for that SER
