DECISION
To SUSTAIN BREWER
SUPREME COURT WILL PASS ON
ELECTIVE JUDICIARY AMEND
MENT MONDAY.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 6.-It is prac-
.ically certain that the supreme court
will render it's decision next Monday
In the elective judiciary test case,
thus clearing the way for the legis-
lature to enact whatever legislation
on that subject that may be necessary
after the states highest tribunal has
decided whether on not Mississippi
shall have the elective system.
The current opinion around the court
house is that the court will sustain
Gov. Brewers position that the elec.
tive judiciary amendment was not
properly framed, and is therefore null
and void, despite the fact that the
Legislature of 1912 inserted 1t in the
constitution. There is a probability
somewhat remote, but a probabilit,
still, that dissenting opinion win b,

None Of Gov. Brewers judicial al
pointments have been sent to the sen
ate for confirmation, and the uppe
body will not have a chance to declar,

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 6.-The senate
passed without dissent or debate the
common school appropriation bill,
carrying nearly $3,500,OOO for the next
two years. The State Normal College
received a substantial increase of it's
support fund due to the growth of
enrolment, and the appropriation for
farmers institutes was increased $5,-
900 per year. Somewhat in contrast
with this the house cut down the al
lowance for prizes for boys corn
clubs from $4,000 to 81 900 per annum.
Mr.. Nicholson, of Washington, pro-
voked spirited controversy in the
house this morning by offering a reso-
luton directing and demanding that
the special investigating committee,
which was engaged in probing vari-
Gus officers and institutions for about
six months, make a final report by
next Tuesday.
Messrs. Evans and owen, members
of the committee, declared the COM
mittee was doing everything in its
power to finish the work, and after
their explanations Mr.. Nicholson with
dred his resolution, but served notice
that he will renew it next Tuesday if
final report is not in.
During the general debate it was
insinuated that the committees delay
has been caused by the senate mem
bers.

VARDANAN OPPOSES
negro HANDLING
farm FUNDS
MISSISSIPPI SENATOR HOLDS HIS
OWN IN DEBATE WITH
REPUBLICAN,.
APPLAUDED BY SPECTATORS
Appropriation Should Be Left in Hands
of White Man, "Who Would Do
More For the Negro Than the Negro
Could Do For Himself" He Said.

Washington, Feb. 6.-An amend
ment by Senator Jones, of Washing
ton, to the agricultural extension bill,
which would insure to negro colleges
of the South the administration Of
portion of the funds proposed for farm
demonstration work, led to sharp de-
bate in the senate Thursday over the
racial question.
Senator Jones for over three hours
defended the principle Of his amend
ment, which was still pending when
the senate adjourned. Senators Hoke
Smith, of Georgia, and Vardaman, of
Mississippi. contended that the admin
istration of the appropriation should
be left in the hands of the white man,
who would "do more for the negro
than the negro could do for himself"
Senator Jones had not proceeded far
with his argument that the negro
should be allowed to handle part of
the funds from the Federal Treasury
before Senator Vardaman suggested
he had better take few days off and
study the question"
When Senator Jones said he was
speaking from the results of his in
vestigation of the question, Senator
Vardaman replied: "Then the senator
is speaking from the profoundly of
his misinformation."
The Mississippi senator wanted to
know if Senator Jones would be will
ing to allow the Japanese to share in
the administration in the fund allotted
to the Pacific states.
yes if the Japasese were citizens,
but they are not" was the emphatic
response.
'Wel. you will admit" continued
Senator Vardaman, that the Japanese
in all the elements that go to make up
the man. is superior to the negro"
He was on his feet again, however,
when Senator Jones few minutes lat
er mentioned the progress of the ne
groes.
"Their progress has been due to
what the white man has taught them" ,"
insisted the Mississippi senator. And
let me say that myself and the other
white men of the South would do more
l. ljhnrt
and pursuit of happiness than others
far away who love them as a race and
would let them starve at their gates"
Applause from the spectators at this
point caused Senator Thompson, in
the chair, to threaten to clear the gal
leries.
The ire of Senator Martin, of Vir-
ginia, was aroused when Senator Jones
read paper he recently had prepared
on the advance of the negro race. He
pictured the negro coming out of the
Civil war in a state of oppression and
poverty. Senator Martin challenged
every statement as inaccurate, assert
ing that the negro would be great
deal better off if the South were left
to handle the question under the plan
1t had pursued than If those from far
off sought to meddle in the problem.
Senator Sherman objected to this as
an assertion that Northern senators
we're not capable of dealing with the
question.

| Augustus Post, the aviator, thus
describes In the American Maya
zine how it feels to be up four miles
in the air:
"For every miles ascent ninety
six miles Of view open out, 50 that
at four miles one could see zoo
miles on the earth's surface In ev-
cry direction, unless low hanging
clouds lie between the aeronaut and
the rest of humanity. Sometimes
like fields of polar ice, sometimes
opal and rose and gold, sometimes
crimson with sunset glow-it Is q
wonderful thing TO see the upper
side Of a sunset-the floor Of clouds,
ever shifting, ever taking on more
varied shapes, moves beneath you,
or you rise through q high floating
one in a brief white solitude. One
side of the cloud floor may be red
above the last rays Of the sun, while
waves Of orange, purple and sui
phurous yellow stretch across to the
cold blues Of the east and the silver
splendor Of the moon, for it is at
full moon that long distance bal
loon races are always arranged to
take place. Here and there fountain
like forms rise from the mass
stretching beneath you and curl
back like giant flowers. They are
currents Of hot air breaking through
the cloud bank from below.
'1Your pulse rate rises, your res
piration grows faster, perhaps your
hands and feet a tTihe numb, as
the Paragraph needle rises-indeed
by this time it has risen above
