CONNECTING" THE STREETS

Paving in Columbia has been laid at
such a commendable rate that this
city is now one of the best paved cit
les in the state Columbia's paving
excels the sidewalks of the town. But
there is more work to be done in both
epartments-that is, connecting" the
streets.
By this is meant that paving or
building of sidewalks on streets be-
tween two thoroughfares that have
been improved An example of this
is offered ON Tenth street between
Broadway and Locust. The council
recently voted to pave the street as
far as Cherry. Such blocks as these
may be found in all parts of the city
and offer the opportunity of linking
together Columbia streets IN way
that will greatly improve the appear
ance of the city.
The same condition exists in the
matter Of sidewalks, except that the
sidewalks, in places. might be called
really deplorable. In some places
sidewalks are lacking altogether IN
others the walks are too narrow or
very unevenly laid. Why not "cor-
meet" all the streets?

man could He could name not one
dozen trees, but three or four dozen,
and he knew the birds by their songs,
and he could tell interesting tales of
the butterflies, the lizards, the rabbits
and squirrels and other young friends
of the animal world.
A country-bred man? No. Natural
list? No. He was just professional
man who loved the big out-of-doors
and its people and who longed to make
their acquaintance And this is how he
did it.
Every morning before breakfast he
took little walk, if only around a
little block, and came back with
little bit of new information, or a new
question to look up. On Sunday and
on holidays, when he had more leis-
ure, he took a longer walk and came
back with more information.

MISsOURPS CONSTITUTION

In view of the fact that the agita-
ton for a new constitution for the
state of Missouri has now gone on for
ten years, it is strange that the move
ment has gone no farther than it has.
Probably the reason that the need fof
a new constitution has been felt so lit
tie is that the inefficacy of statutory
law, which has encrouched to a great
degree upon constitutional law, has
never been satisfactorily shown.
When the wise but wordy lawyers
of 1875 got together and framed the
present state constitution, they did as
good a job as could be expected, con-
sidering the panicky conditions of the
times. But the constitution they made
was for 1875 and not for 1915. They
forgot the first requisite for long
lived constitution. They disregarded
the example of the Federal constitu-
ton. To live, a constitution must be
brief. 1t must, in the words of 1sidor
Loeb in a plea for a new constitution,
published in 1907, embrace only fun
damental organization of government
as opposed to statutes which require
modification from time TO time"
Forty years is a long life for con-
stitution which is as detailed in its
application as Missouri's is. Social
and industrial changes of great i'm
portance have taken place since 1875.
Farming is no longer the all-import-
ant industry of Missouri. Great cities
have grown up since then as manufac-
turing and railroad centers. These
changes make necessary a revision in
the taxation and revenue clauses of
the constitution. The property tax,
which is the main source of revenue
of the state, has been proved to the
satisfaction of many to be inequita-
BILE.
A constitutional convention would
probably find many other serious de-
fects in the present constitution. And
today is always better than tomorrow
for the accomplishment of any great
reform.

Mooreville Gets Rural Route
w ashington, May 7, 1916

w aSnlngtOn, May {, I9lo.
Hon. E. S..Candler, Jr.,
Corinth, Mississippi.
My Dear Mr.. Gambler:
| am in receipt of your letter
of the Sd instant again bringing
to my attention the urgent desire
of your constituents at Moore
vile, Lee county, Miss, for an
early and favorable consideration
of their application for the estab-
lishment of a rural route from
that office.
In view of the number of let
tiers you have addressed to me
on this subject, it is apparent
that YOU, as we'll as your constit-
uents, are vitality interested and
for that reason it affords me sim
cere pleasure to be able to an
n ounce that an order will be is
sued authorizing the establish
ment of the desired service to
take effect June 16, 1915.
Yours very truly,
A. S. BURLESoN.
The above letter from the Post
Master General to Mr.. Gambler
will be read with interest by the
patrons of the territory that will
be served by the new route. Mr..
CandIer has all along taken a
great interest in the establish
ment of rural routes for the con-
venience of the people of the
country and his efforts are usual
ly crowned with that success
that follows persistency. The
patrons will appreciate this effort
on his part to serve them.

Inspection to be Made Later

The ladies of the Fortnightly
Matinee Club have received a
letter from DR.. Valley, State
Health Inspector, stating that
Tupelo was on the list of the
towns that would be inspected by
the state board officials. There
were al towns that got on this
list and these towns will be WIS.,
tied within the next 90 days by
the State Health Board. The in
spection will be made as rapidly
as opportunity is afforded the Of
ficials.
Now that Tupelo has made
good enough mark to get on the
list we should not backslide and
lose the ground we have already
gained. Of course it seems like
a long time for some of us to
keep our premises fit for inspec-
ton, but we know not what day
the inspector will drop in on us
and we must therefore be ready.
Whether or not this is scheme
of the state board of health to
keep the towns in proper sanitary
condition through the summer we
cannot say, but if it is we have
all bit and we must stay with
them until the end. Nobody
should weary in we'll doing, but
the good ladies who have charge
of the work, we can safely say,
will not relax their efforts and
we must rally to their support.
They have done a fine part by
the town, the work will rebound
20 the health of the city during
the summer months and all ad-
NIT that the city is more beauti-
full than ever before.

The Vice-President's Lecture.

Monday evening Vice-Presi-
dent Marshall delivered his lee
ture on National Tendencies"
before an appreciative audience.
The Vice-President and Mrs.
Marshall reached Tupelo at noon
Sunday and went to the Tupelo
Hotel where they were guests.
Sunday afternoon they enjoy
ed an automobile ride over the
city with Mr.. and Mrs. George
T. Mitchell. Sunday evening
they attended services at the
Presbyterian church, the Vice
President himself being an elder
in the Presbyterian church.
Monday morning Vice-Presi-
dent Marshall visited the public
school and made a very appro-
pirate address in the chapel be-
fore the pupils.
The stage and boxes at the
Comus theatre were beautifully
decorated with choice flowers and
evergreens and the American
flags. In the background a huge
American flag was suspended.
Mr.. Marshall was eloquently
introduced in a short speech by
Hon. George T. Mitchell. He ex-
pressed the pleasure that he and
Mrs. Marshall had enjoyed dur
ing their stay here, the hospital
ity of our people and the beauties
of our little city. He stated that
the happiest years of their lives
had been spent in town about
the size of Tupelo when he was a
country lawyer.
The Vice-President displayed
the humorous side of his charac-
ter in a number of amusing incl
dents which he related before
getting down to the gist Of his
lecture. lie stated that Tupeio
was known all over the North as
the home of John Allen and the
government fish hatchery; that
while there was a fish hatchery
here he felt sure that there was
no suckers in Tupelo. He review
ed the progress of the formation
of civil laws and related impress
sive incidents that had stamped
themselves upon the history of
the country at various periods.
He stated that he was a states
rights democrat" and believed
thoroughly in the doctrine taught
by that school of politicians. In
his opinion there would not have
