No Money for vIeksbura Jubilee.

Amid much waving. of the bloody
shirt, and with speechmaking galore,
the lower house voted down the bill
carrying an appropriation of $4,000
for Mississippi's participation in the
national peace jubilee at yicksburg ma
tional military park in 1915. The vote
was SO to So, and the result one of the
surprises of the session, especially the
bitterness shown by several Confed-
crate veterans during the debate on
the bill. In substance, they declared
that they did not want to participate
in an event that would be nothing
more or less than a celebration of the
downfall of vicksburg.

INSTRUMENTATION BilI Lost.

Antl-coIonization Bill Lost.
After a notable fight in the house
of representatives the Bailey anti-cor.
porate landholding bill from the SEN
ate, which would prohibit the holding
of large tracts of arabic lands within
the state and would require all such
corporations holding such tracts prior
to March s., 1912, to dispose Of them
within ten years, met the fate expect
ed. when, after a sharp contest, the
motion to indefinitely postpone pre-
vailed by an overwhelming vote. The
friends of the bill have about given
up the fight, though a motion to re-
consider still keeps it on the house
calendar.
This action of the house shows the
effect of a well-conducted lobby, for
as soon as the drastic nature Of the
bill after it passed the senate became
generally known. and men interested
in such legislation, in south Mississip-
pi especially, realized that it would
seriously affect the opportunities
which are being made for colonization
of large tracts of cut-over pine lands
in that section, representatives OF
these interests began to center here.
They concentrated their attention on
the house, and without resort to sledge
hammer or dark lantern methods, but
by force of argument, we're able to
convince the members that there is
already law enough on the books to
regulate such enterprises, with the re-
suit as shown by the vote of 72 to 4e
in favor of the motion to postpone.
