LEGISLATURE MADE
FAIRLY GOOD RECORD
SESSION WHICH HAS JUST ENDED
MEASURES WELL WITH
FORMER ONES.

Jackson, Miss, April 12.-While the
1916 session of the Mississippi legisla-
ture has been regarded as overly long,
it was not as long as some sessions in
the recent past, those of 1906 and 1910
both having been more extended. That
of 1906, which was the second session
of the Vardaman legislature, went to
April 16, while that of 1910, under
Gov. Noel, extended to April IS. 1t
is rather significant that these were
both per diem sessions, Or the biennial
sessions of the respective administra-
lions, for which the members received
q per diem compensation of S. per
day. The session of 1910 was the last
of these biennial special sessions"
as it was at that session that the con-
stitutional amendment making each
session a regular" session was in
serted, and an act was passed provid-
ing straight salary or allowance of
$500 for the sessions, whether they
ran 30 days or three months. Prior to

BOSS TO BE TRIED
FOR SELLING JOBS

W1LkESBARRE, Pa, Oct. H.
Richard JONES' formerly a mine fore
man at Exeter, arrested for selling
jobs to mine workers, whose case was
quashed by order of the court, will
have to face a jury during the No
Venlber term of criminal court
Jones was indicted on evidence fur
nished by Miss Emily Johnson, set
tlement worker, who produced wit
nesses who swore they had paid for
jobs. Attorneys for Jones asked that
the indictment be quashed on the
ground that there was nothing under
the law to make the foreman liable.
Judge Strauss upheld their conten-
ton, .
District Attorney Slatterly appealed
to the Supreme Court, which has
overru1ed the lower courts and orders
Jones to stand trial on the original
Indictment.

POLITICS

AS the campaign draws nearer to
close it is evident that Minnesota will
give her electoral vote to Woodrow
Wilson. Reports from every portion
of the state indicate that the Presi-
dent is popular in every locality. Old
time Minnesotans are casting to the
winds their partisan prejudices, and
are recognizing that Mr.. Wilson is the
one candidate who represents the
hopes, aspirations and. ideals of the
average citizen.
In a straw vote taken at a Mime
apolis club last Sunday visited by
more than 600 people during the day,
al votes were east for Wilson, 1872
for Hughes and for Benson. Test
votes taken in shops, stores and office
buildings give Wilson an almost I'M
believable lead. Our informant about
the Sunday test vote at a. Minneapolis
club is an old time Republican who
will vote for Wilson next month. He
never before voted for Democratic
candidate for president.
Can Minnesota deliver its electoral
vote for Wilson? Let us see. The
normal Republican majority is $4,000,
although it has given Republican can
didates as much as 100000 majority.
This is not even a normal year. Now
Hennepin county usually goes $4,000
Republican. In national elections
Ramsey county goes Republican by
5000, and st. Louis piles up an 5000
Republican majority. So of the 10000
Republican lead in this state, $4,000
comes from the three large counties.
Outside the three large counties
then the normal lead is $4,000. From
present indications Hennepin county
will go for Wilson by 5000; Ramsey
county by 5000 and st. Louis county
by 1000, q total Wilson lead in the
three counties Of $1,000. This would
reduce tho county Republican major
ity from $4,000 normal to $4,000.

declare that tho country districts show
good Wilson strength. y changp of

CAN'T BE
PROGRESSIVE COURT

SALEM, Ore, Oct. 12.-Socialists
and trade unionists here are aroused
over the decision by the supreme
court that a teacher may be dismissed
legally by the school board for maxi
lng radical utterances while in class
The case in point is that Of Miss
Flora l. Foreman, who in the supreme
court appealed against the action of
the school board of District No. rs,
which had ordered her dismissal. The
charge was that she had made radical
and 'disloyar' statements to her
pupils.
Miss Foreman fought the order
ousting her, claiming that while her
statements were not in conformity
with the fogyism of the school board,
her teachings had not in any way
been 'disloyal." Her main radical ut
terances consisted in the economic in
depreciation of history and the instill-
ing into her pupils of the idea that
hero worship as taught in the schools
was fatal to the intelligent develop
ment Of the oountry's youth.

HUGHES AND PROGRESS.
From the Coast Seamen Journa

. FROM the Coast Seamen' s journal.
At last we know where Mr.. Huhes stands with
reference to the Seaman s act
In speech at Milwaukee the candidate of plu-
tocracy fatfootedy declared that |the La Toilette
Seamen's Act must be repealed
Progress must be checked Freedom for seamen
and safety at sea must give way to the demands of
the greedy clique who pose patriots and wax
wealthy by exploiting cheap and serve coolie crews
The same Republican part (which only few
years ago emancpated the negro slaves has appar-
entity executed complete somersaut. It's titular
head, its candidate for president, has shamelesslv
repudlated the immortal Abraham Lincoln. Candi-
date Hughes by urging the repeal of the Seamen 3
law boldly and brazenly announces that he stands
for the restoration of involuntary servitude upon
American seamen. Although his party has seen fit
to maintain discrete silence upon the subjec+ at
lssue although practically all the progressive Re-
publican senators and congressman vigorously SUD-
ported this legislation, Mr. Hughes says cit must
be repealed.''
Truly, the control Of the Grand Old Partv has
fallen into evil and designing hands, And the
present Republican candidate for the main berth in
the White House is leaving no stone rnt1rned to
make 1t plain to all the world that "reactionis his
middle name.
During recent years the supremacy of human
rights over property rights has received increasing
recognition. Mr.. Hughes by his demand for the
repeal OF the Seamen's law has openly CHALLENGED
that supremacy. He has made it absolutely clear
that the doctrines and teachings of Abraham Lincoln
have struck no responsive chord in his heart or
mind. lie appears to have less sympathy with the
Ideals, aims and aspirations Of American workers
than the Gar Of Russia has shown for the Polish
Jews.

sometimes. If he HASN'T perhaps some Of his fellow
workers could tell you why.
And strangest of all, he feels especially hunger
The laborer for instance, works for 1926, $3.50
or $27 a.day. He has two three children, and
wife. They feel, too. The children have to be
clothed and fed They have to be educated. The
workingman can't very we'll put them to work before
they arc sixteen years fage All these things cost
money. That daily wage doesn't 60 very far.
Sometimes the grocery bill has to be paid part
one month and the balance the next. And in the
meantime, the second months bill is there. So you
see although we boast of our constitution and our
land of freedom, there is great deal of slavery in
this land.
Why he was born, the workman doesn't know,
nor does anyone else. Sometimes the workingman
is discouraged he wishes that he had never been
born.

BEAUTIFUL FOND D(j LAC IN OCTOBER
IAN APPRE CATION

We were sitting on the brow of the
great hill at Fond du Lac. 1t was a
typical tutumn day. Overhead snow
threatening clouds moved in great
volumes from the North, forecasting
the near approach of winter. Now
and then the bright October sun
peeped through occasional cloud
breaks, casting it's warm rays over
our surroundings, and it seemed as if
the old rascal was carrying on a
filtration between winter and sum-
mer.
Beneath us the St. Louis river lazlly
wound it's way around several beauti-
full islands, the foliage on which, pro-
tected by the water from the early
frosts, was still a bright verdant
green. Then it circled in easy, snake
like manner around great bends, hug
and low meadows on the other, grace
fully working it's course to the bay be-
low.
At our feet was the quaint and
quiet village, the scene of a former
Indian settlement. It's cottages and
cabins were Swallowed by great elms,
oaks and cottonwoods; smoke as
ecnded from their chimneys, running
straight up until caught by the wind

pines, and spruce and balsam, where
the picture was e: .panelled by a. set

The belated birds were singing mer-
rily, the white throat swallow, sweet
est of songsters, in high soprano; the
restless blue-jay with his wierd
screech; the timid robin with his gay
and cheerful chirp; the PARKWAY
raven with his baritone "caw, cav,
aew," all combined in natures choir,
their anthem carrying us beyond the
world into a land of wonder and
dreams. The tall, majestic pines re-
mbled immense pillars supporting
the heavens above us. The soft, messy
ground upon which we rested, and
from which we surveyed the beauti-
full scene, grew in our imagination
until it seemed like a great alter, and
the world around us became in reality
the Cathedral of the Universe in
which we worshipped

ment of emotion in our souls, and we
