The Tupelo journal., 1915-12-03

Of the supreme court, the quar-
tiers set aside in the new capitol
for the supreme court will be IN
adequate to accommodate that
body. The offices now assigned
to the individual members of the
court are cramped and on the
last floor of the building. Should
it be possible to repair the old
building at a reasonable cost, the
proposition to set it apart for the
supreme court and the depart
ment of archives might meet
with favor with the next legisla-
ture. It is safe to predict, how
ever, that this body will be very
slow to endorse such appropria-
tons unless it is shown them
that they are actually needed
and that the funds necessary will
be provided through the ways
and means committee.

With the approach of the last
session of the present congress
the question has arisen on the
leadership of the house. Mr..
Underwood, the present able
leader, who is responsible for
the present tariff, will retire the
4th of March to become the SEN
ator from Alabama. In his place,
Representative Claude Kitchin,
of North Carolina, has been
named by the democratic caucus.
Mr.. Kitchin is an able young
man and full of democratic fer
vor on most questions, but of
late he has seen fit to take issue
with the president on his policy
of preparedness. The country
is behind the president and Mr..
Kitchin is in a hopeless minority
with his party, and it will be
very embarrassing to the presi-
dent and the democratic members
of congress to have the floor
leader oppose the main feature
Of the presidents policy. Upon
the result of the work of this
congress depends the success OF
the democratic party in the next
presidential and congressional
election. The republicans will
make a desperate effort to come
back and the party should not
be sacrificed by representatives
in it's own camp. 1t would be
better to sacrifice Mr.. Kitchin's
ambition to lead the par nan
to have him destroy its chances
of winning in the next election.

n OLD CAPITOL

A number of organizations
among the ladies of the state
that are pleased to term them
selves the patriotic organizations
of the state, have revived the
movement to secure from the
next legislature a sufficient sum
to repair the old capitol building
in jackson.
This question has been brought
UP at every sitting of the legis-
lature since the new capitol was
built, and each time resulted in a
failure to secure the necessary
funds. During these fifteen
years the old building has been
crumbling away and it is now a
mooted question as to whether
or not the building can be re-
paired.
The proposition to make of it
a department for the use of the
department of archives has met
with favor with a number of
representatives, but with never
q sufficient number to secure the
legislation sought. With the in
or ease in number Of the meml ers
