COL. MONTGOMERY RECOGNIZED
As ONE OF PRISON TRUSTEES

Jackson, Miss. The board of
prison trustees today, acting upon
the written opinion of Attorney
General Ross A. Collins, recogniz-
ed Colonel w. A. Montgomery, of
Edwards, as prison trustee for the
first district in preference to Pey-
ton Hall, of Jackson, who also
claimed the position. Colonel
Montgomery held a commission
signed by Governor Bilbo and Mr..
Hall was appointed by Governor
Brewer.
Governor Brewer refused to sign
Col. Montgomery's commission,
claiming that a judgement against
him in favor of the state for part
of the shortage of a former secre-
tary of the prison board, and it be-
ing alleged that the prison trustees
were responsible to the state for
the actions of the secretary and
that Col. Montgomery was not eli
gible to hold the office.
The first official act of Governor
Bilbo was to sign the commission
of Col. Montgomery.

LATEST ON LIQUOR LAW.

The Leader notes that Hons.
Frank Cole and Fred A. Wright
voted right on the Anderson Rob.
ertson Liquor Bill. Ayes, ITO;
nays, IL. An overwhelming vic
tory for the Prohibitionists!
And this in the face of the fact
that Whittington's anti-lobbyine
bill was put to sleep somewhere
and that the Wholesale Liquor
Dealers Association had its full
quota of lobbyists busy as bees
around the Legislature.
It's pity that Mr.. Anderson's
amendment shutting off all liquor
supplies did not stand the test and
Mississippi given a clean bill o1
health.
1t was the Weakley, Alabama,
bill that passed allowing l qt., OF
whiskey or "a pints of beer to be
in possession of any person within
IS day period. This reminds us
of the old lady who was somewhat
ashamed of her voracious appetite
and always said "I'll take a LIT.
TIE"
The bill will become effective 6(
days after passage.

Forrest County's Board of Super
visors has been allowing SIP per
month to convicts-or 40 cents a
day from the moment of convic-
ton, including Sundays, holidays,
wet days and days when he is in
capacitated. Lauderdale pays So.
Forests Board has reduced to
that sum and the bad news has
gone to the hundreds of convicts in
the road camps, on the county
farm, and in the county Jail. Time
was in Lincoln County, back in the
early '90's when an unoffending
citizen offered himself and his
horse thrown in at $6 per month
as a farm hand But the con
vict elicits sympathy. How about
the poor, honest man that cam
get ahead? Justice should be tenn
pered with mercy in both instances.

"Some colleges that were once
pronouncedly Christian have cast
off any denominational afiliation
and control, afraid to be reckoned
sectarian, but not afraid of becom-
ing secular. Others that have
some sort of UNCONVENTIONAL con-
nection become denatured as to re-
|ligion and have just enough relig-
ious flavor to be ashamed of it,
and to discredit it before the world.
In too many cases the prophet's
charge is true, "My people would
have it So" They are demanding
a ''practical education, meaning
by that not the making of man,
nor training for the highest eff.
cheney in life, but the shortest road
to make the most money, simply Z
quick or easy route to make liv-
ing. Baptist Record.

GOVERNOR RyMILIATED OVER IN.
FRIECEMENT OF PROHIBITION LAW
BY STATE OFFICER.

Part of one of the Governors
messages to the Legislature was as
follows:
"The sentiment favorable to the
extinction of the whiskey traffic in
the State and nation has been SO
strongly reinforced and justified by
reason and experience during re-
cent years, that it is not necessary
to urge upon the Mississippi Legis-
lature the expediency and wisdom
of strengthening, wherever posi-
BILE, the laws that have been enact
ed in this behalf.
BY common consent, the drink
evil is under ban socially and eco
nomically, and we but reflect the
demand of an overwhelming ma
jority of our fellow citizens when
we seek to reflect this sentiment in
our legislation. To please the peo-
pie of Mississippi, we cannot make
the laws regulating the unlawful
sale of intoxicating liquors too
strong, and that there is still need
for more stringent laws in the reg
ulation of this traffic and the es-
tablishment of a greater respect for
them has been clearly demonstrated
by the recent incidents that have
transpired within the walls of our
own Capitol building, when the
police of the city of Jackson, dur
ing the past week invaded our own
precincts to arrest those high in
authority and the employees of the
State, for selling whiskey in viola
tion, alike of the State and munic-
ipal laws. This occurrence is a
grievous affront to your dignity
and mine and proves conclusively
the insolence of this outlawed en-
forcement as we'll as the weakness
-of our laws in this respect.
II do not know how you may
feel about this thing, but my sense
of humiliation is very great, and
in the name of the law of which
we are the chosen keepers and
makers, as we'll as in the name of
the welfare, prosperity and happi-
ness of almost two million people
strongly recommend to you the
passage of such prohibition laws
that will greatly strengthen this
great cause and enable the execu-
tive officers of our State to regu-
late and control the liquor traffic
in its insolent persistence to thrive
at the expense of law and order"

MCDOWELL AND HODDS MIXING
II IT FOR FACTORY INSPECTOR

The new board when it met ir
Jackson several day ago, gave the
position of Factory Inspector to A.
B. Hobbs, of Laurel. Mr.. Hobbs
was in the city Monday and made
his bond of 1000 after which he
was sworn in by Clerk of the Su-
preme Court Geo. c. Myers. Mr.
Hobbs did not go to the Office of
Factory Inspector Monday and
claim the position but waited until
yesterday when he walked into the
office and asked that the records
and possessions of the Office be
turned over to him, having in his
possession an order from the health
board to that effect.
Mr.. Mcdowell, the present in
cumbent, declined to turn anything
over to Mr.. Hobbs, saying that he
was the rightful officer and that he
intended to fight it out in the
courts.
There is no hard feeling between
Messrs. Hobbs and Mcdowell, both
seeming content to allow the mat
ter to be threshed out in the
courts. When the matter of draw
ing the salary for the month of
February comes up, then the mat
ter will come to climax and some
legal step will be taken that will
throw it into the courts for settle
ent.-Clarion Ledger.
Why not compromise this matter
by appointing some efficient wo-
man like Miss Plunkett or Miss
Emily Butt as Factory Inspector?

This is a fine paragraph from
President Wilson showing that his
head is level and his heart right:
Claw is a record of achievement
it is not process of regeneration.
Our wills have to be regenerated
and our purposes rectified before We
are in position to enact laws that
record those moral achievements;
and that is the business primarily,
it seems to me, of the Christian. "
