The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1914-03-27

We give no little space shs week to the much discussed man.
agement of the state pententrary. We feel that no apology is due
our readers for doing so, for the reason that it is the biggest en-
terpnse the state has; the value of one years cotton and cottonseed
products alone amount to approximately 100000, besides the corn,
the hay and the livestock; therefore everybody in the state is inter
ested. When the buying and selling necessary to u the peniten-
tiary are considered. it is at once seen that it is a fertile field for
stealing at many points.
Governor Brewer asserts that there has been much stealing on
our penitentiary farms during the past few years. Naturally, those
who have been reaping the benefit of the stealage are expected to
deny this allegation; IT is a very rare thing for one cha,ged with
crime to make a confession until he sees that every avenue OF hope
of escape is closed to him. There have never yet been known a set
of grafters to turn loose without an organized effort to ruin the man
who set the law in motion after them. Witness how the Tweed ring
tried to ruin Samuel Tilden when as Governor of New York he
set about to free the state from its pllage. This il a natural conse-
quence. Of course, nobody but men of prominence re put in these
places of trust and very properly the good people who have had
confidence and faith in the faithless officers are averse to believing
that their heretofore friends have gone wrong, and, in addition to
the good men who are fooled by the grafters, there are those who
are sharing in the stealage on the side-they of course are up in
arms at the Governor or anybody else who would dare say nay
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1914-03-27

Governor Brewer is therefore sharing the fate of every other brave
official who has put his hand to the pillow not to turn back until the
crookedness is shown up and the bloodsuckers given their deserts.
They NAV fume. they may froth and below loud and long; they
NAV crv make him stop, he's prosecuting me" but the Governor
has resolutely set himself to the task and legislative hindrances, at
tennis at blackmal and filthy newspaper articles al not turn him
aside. 1t looks IS if every obstacle that could be discovered has al
ready been thrown in his pathway, but he still moves resolutely on
with a fixed and steady purpose.
Read DIR. Gathings letter on the first page. 1t is an eye-opener.
The manaorment of the penitentiary will be the most conspicuous
issue in the next state campaign.

in his candidacy for governor. 1t is an honorable position, even
tho it may not have been treated so in some instances, and it is per-
fecty legitimate for any man to aspire to it. But there have been
SO many things said against Lieutenant Governor Bilbo, whether
true or untrue deponent sayeth not, that it might be best for some
other man against whom there has never been any charges or suspt
Cons OF any kind, to be selected for the next governor. The Dis
patch believes there is at least one man in the state who could de-
feat Bilbo, and that man is State Senator A. c. Anderson, editor of
the Southern Sentinel at Ripley. chairman of the legislative invest-
eating committee and president pro tenn. of the state senate. With
out disparaging the claims of any other man for the governorship
the Dispatch believes that all factions could unite on Senator An
derson; for while he has been a strong supporter of both Vardaman
and Bilbo, he has been always conservative and amenable to reason
He has never been swayed by passion or prejudice and when it has
come to duty he has discharged it without fear or favor"
The Hattiesburg Daily News, one of the strongest supporters of
Senator Vardaman in the last contest, makes the following observa.
ton regarding the vote of the state senate to pay a loan made to
the state for the purpose of enabling the Governor to continue the
penitentiary investigation. said loan having been duly authorized by
the legislature:
THE Lieutenant Governor, with more gall than discretion, is
sued a protest against the state paying an honest debt, and the SEN
ate. over his protest. passed the bill unanimously. The senate, in
maintaining the honor of the state. has done credit to it self"

A PLEA FOB PEACE

The Meridian Dispatch. heretofore allied with BDbo, comes out
n last Sundays edition in a long. double column, double-leaded ed
torial under the caption, Here's for Future Peace" stating that the
peace of the state and the future of our commonwealth demands the
election of some person other than Bilbo for governor. Among
things. the Dispatch says:
THE Dispatch has no fight to make on the lieutenant governor

CONGRESSMAN GUDGER,s BILL.

Civil Service on Competitive Basis.


Tenth District Representative Wants
Civil Service on Competitive Basis.
Washington, March 11.-There will
be- government jobs galore if congress
passes a bill introduced by Congress
Inan Gudger to require every civil SER
vice employee to take a competitive ex-
animation to determine his fitness to
hold his position within four months of
the passage of the bill. Believing that
1fe tenure in federal Office is inimical
to a republican form of government
the bill was introduced with the pur-
pose of cleaning out considerable of
the dead wood" now in the service
and to leave in Office only those pro-
lerly qualified to perform their duties.
The Exemptions.
The bill makes exemption in the
case of persons who have passed civil
service examinations since January /.
All appointments made by the presi-
dent that require confirmation by the
senate and various heads of divisions
with their first and second assistants
and confidential clerks. The act pro-
vides laborerS, charwomen, messen-
gers and door keepers shall be placed
o nthe non competitive list, and that
these positions shall be filled by the
various heads Of departments having
supervision over them. As to door
keepers and messengers, the bill re-
quires that priority shall be given to
h~onorably discharged Spanish Ameri-
can war soldiers and sailors and union
veterans. The bill is along the lines
OF a speech on civil service delivered
in the house by Gudger some months
ago.

tNews and observer.)
Mcdowell county is one of the
foremost counties in the state as to
educational progress" said Mr.. I. G.
Rrogden. State Supervisor of Rural
Elementary Schools, yesterday after
returning from a visit of several days
to the schools in that county.
THAT new idea they have of en-
ploying a county supervisor is en-
tirely in line with what you have
been preaching, is it not?" was asked
OF Mr.. Brodgen.
why yes. There. are only six
other counties in the State that have
such an officer, and you may put it
down that these counties are doing
their share toward the intellectual up
life of the State. You see the idea is
this. This supervisor pays particular
attention to ten schools in the county
during each year, though she does not
slight the others altogether. Her
duties are to visit these schools and
instruct the teachers in better methods
oil teaching. She takes a class and
conducts it for a number of times,
and shows the teacher just how she
can improve in her methods. This is
practical demonstration work, and it
is not confined to agricultural demon
stratfon either. Of course, it is true
that She does not pay a great deal of
attention to the work of classes in do
nestle science, and the tending of
small gardens by the girls, but pri-
marily that is not altogether her WORTH
1t is demonstration in every phase of
the school work. She will take the
same old problems in arithmetic, for
instance, that you and I learned when
in school, and will instruct the teach
CT in better ways of handling them,
and show her, if possible, where she
may improve"
cts there a farm life school in Nc
Dowell county," Mr.. Brogden was
asked.
There is one now, but they are
working for me-. And you may just
count on them having it, too. They
gre live, wide-awake people up in that
section of the country, and they are
going to be right in the forefront. The
rural elementary schools are at last
coming into their own, and many of
| our counties have already realized the
Importance of educating the children
in the rural sections and are doing all
they can to improve their educational
facilities"
