AN ACT WORTH WHILE.

In accord with his platform issu
ed during the campaign. Hon
Walter Sillers. Jr. of this county, a
member Of the Legislature, has pre-
pared bill for the beueft of the
debtors whose property, real estate,
may be sold under forced sale. 1t
is proposed by his bill that period
of two years be allowed in which
the person foreclosed may redeem
hes taru or house and lot by paving
principal and interest. This will
work no hardships on the creditor
or there is no chance for him to
oose his principal and interest and
will be a boone to debtors who may
be caught by short crops. boil wee
vii, money panic, or other circum-
stances entirely beyond his control
for if this bill is passed be will then
have two years to manage to get
the principal aud interest togather
to redee m the property sold.
This is one of the several good
things Mr.. Sillers expects to have
enacted into law by the coming
Legislature. We hope h. may be
successful.

THE COMING LEGISLATURE

The Mississippi Legislature meets
in regular session on Tuesday,
January 4th. and unless the Time S
extended by proclamation of the
Governor, will remain in session
ninety days. for Legislature never
adjcurns before its full time has
been used up.
There are al out 1870 members of
the Legislature. and less than forty
of these are men who have had
previous legislative experience.
Many OF the new members are
yeung men, active and ambitious
and anxious to do something.
Under the circumstance it is
natural that many bills should be
introduced, and that is about as far a
majority of them will or should ger.
What the State needs more than
new laws is the correcting, amend
ing and strengthening of those al
ready on the statute bCoks, aud
he repeating of those that are ans
weripg no nseful purpose. Mis-
sissippi has more laws now than
her best LAWYERS can keep track OF,
mnch less the ordi .arv laymen
Ignarance of the law is ne excuse
for its violation. yet there are
many laws II w in existence un-
known to niue men out of every
ten in the State.
Kill som. of these. Rid the
State of its useless appendages. aud

sense, business laws ale needed,

1t is dangerous 10 begin fooling
with new tangled ideas. 1t is easy
enough to start something" but
after started no man can tell where
it will end. 1t has been the ex-
perience of former legislators. that
bills introduced by them for GER

as to leave them unrecognizable by
their authors and fail of the pur-
pose for whith they were intended.

relative to making the fair a first class livestock and agri-
cultural exhibit and the practical elimination Of the wild
west features is in line with the needs Of development of
the county. We have specialized on wheat until the coun-
need nov is for diversification, and livestock is the means
to this end. So long as it is desirable to go into the grow
ing Of livestock it is essential to the best interests Of all
is. In order to bring this about it will be necessary to ed
|ucate the st~ockgrowers and the cheapest and quickest way
to do this is to bring the best stock Of this and other states

Nampa Leader Herald: Tonight at midnight Idaho be-
comes a dry state. 1t is an important change, but there
is no doubt but the change was made in conformity with
the wishes of the people. In a government by the people
the majority rules and it is the business of the minority
to not only accept in good faith the will of the majority
but to be equally as patriotic and active in the enforce
ment of the law. The period of debate has passed. The
verdict has been rendered at the polls, that John Barley
corn must be banished from Idaho, and all good citizens
will join in making his Punishment complete. If the law
is not a good one the complete enforcement will make that
fact apparent, and Il it is good law that fact can only be
made plain by strict observance of its provisions.
For a time at least, there will probably be more or less
trouble with the bootleggers. There are in every COM
munity a few men low enough to violate the law for the
sake Of a little gain. This class should be summarily
dealt with and the punishment made SO severe that it
will deter others from committing a like offense. Every
good citizen can help in the suppression Of the bootlegger,
but the chief responsibility win rest with the officers
whose duty it is to enforce the laws. However public SER
timent goes a long way in making law effective and if the
officials find their hands upheld by the people, and their
efforts properly appreciated, it viii spur them to greater
activity. In fact the success or failure Of the law Is now
UP to the people, as a whole, in quite large measure, even
though as before stated, the chief responsibility rests with
the officials.-Nampa Leader.

The Press has received many letters and personal com

Of voters leagues throughout the state, by the members
of all parties. It is impossible to select candidates with
good service will result, unless something is known about
the candidates who are on the several tickets. No means
of supplying impartial or dependable information has yet
been devised. The idea originated in Bannock county,
and is worthy of serious consideration. The lack of some
such organization has been the greatest weakness of the
direct primary system.
