HE VOTED AS EXPECTED.

The Senate of the United States
last week passed the Chamber
lain bill to double the number of
cadets in the West Point Military
Academy.
Only two senators, Vardaman
and Norris, voted against the bill,
SO voting in its favor. If the
measure passes the House it will
open the way to West Point to
the enlisted men, both of the
army and of the national guard.
AS finally amended it provides for
the appointment Of not more than
two hundred enlisted men by the
President, two cadets by each
Congressman, two from each ter
ritory, four from the District of
Columbia, two from natives of
Porto Rico, four from each state
at large and so from the United
States at large.
The authorized attendance at
West Point now is re, although
there are but SIG cadets at pres
ent. Under the terms Of the new
bill the authorized attendance
would be 1882.
The commonwealth. (Greenwood, Miss.) 1896-1923, 1916-03-31
SO FAR so GOOD-BUT WHY NOT
MAKE IT COMPLETE?

The passage in the House of the Franklin bill
placing county officials on a salary III lieu OF a fee
basis of compensation, is to be hailed as the achieve
ment OF a good peice OF resorm work. The vote, so
to 8, marked the break down of lobby work that
has heretofore in~terfered successfully in preventing
eradication OF this very grave defect in state gov
ernmental system. But the reform will not be COM
plete until extended to state officers whose fees
have been so far spared: the Revenue Agent and
Attorney General. The bill divides the Counties into
classes, according to assessed valuations, salaries of
clerks from $1,000 to 5000, circuit clerks from
81, $50 to $4,000, and tax assessors from 81 1880 to
$1,000, 1t is not believed that the economy in the
change will reduce competition among our patriots
for dscharging the duties of said offices.-Vicks-
burg Herald.
The Commonwealth is especially graft
fled over the triumphant passage of the
Franklin bill abolishing the pernicious fee
system for county officers in Mississippi, and
commends the Legislature for the praise
worthy service they nave lone for the tax
payers in this matter. The editor of The
Commonwealth, personally and through his
paper, was one of the "original" advocates
OF placing county officials, as we'll as all
State officials, on a reasonable salary basis
and on account Of opposing this Ubiquitous
fee system some fee-fattened offfce-hold-
ers as well as a goodly bunch of would-be
otfice-holders, have been disposed to make
ugly faces at us and to mutter unjust criti-
cisms about the paper and it's editor. But
this has not in the least disturbed us. We
knew that the principle for which we were
contending was right, hence these puny
criticisms fell harmless at our feet. =
The suggestion of the Herald, however,
that the Legislature should complete the
good work begun by applying the scapel to
the fee system In vogue in the offices of the
State Revenue Agent and the Attorney
General, is eminently right and proper.
1t will be little less than a crime on
the part Of our State solons if they per-
NIT these departments to continue to bleed
a long-suffering public.
The commonwealth. (Greenwood, Miss.) 1896-1923, 1916-03-31
THE DATES OF S T

A woman reader who has doubtless already
finished the work of picking her spring hat, and
wants something else to worry about, asks us these
questions:
Why is it that Easter doesn't come on the same
date each year? How is the date fixed? Why is
Easter late this year?"
The principal reason Easter doesn't come on
the same date each year is because it doesn't, saws
the jackson News.
The incidental reason is that Easter is a nova
BILE feast in the church calendar, and the fixing of
all other movable feasts depends on the Easter date.
To be explicit, Easter is always the first Sunday
after the fourteenth day of the calendar moon which
fourteenth day. falls on, or next after, the 2lst of
March, according to the rules laid down for the con-
struction of the calendar; so that if the fourteenth
day happens on a Sunday, Easter day is the Sunday
AFTER"
Now, fair reader, if you can understand exactly
what that means, you know how the date
for Easter Sunday is established. Frankly, it does
sound a bit muddled, but it is the very best explana-
ton we can offer.
Easter Sunday comes the latest this year that
it has fallen since 1866, when the date was April Is,
according to compilation of the dates. This year
it is April %. 1t will not come so late again until
1913, when it falls again on the 25th day of April.
The 25th of April is the latest possible date for
Easter and March % the earliest. 1t will not fall on
March % this century, the closest to that date hav-
ing been in 1913, when March % was Easter Sunday.
