The Defeated Game Law Was Too
Intricate.

Carthagenian.
The overwhelming defeat of the
new game law does not mean that
the people are averse to the protec
ton and propagation of the wild life
of the state. In town and country
alike the great majority of votes
we're cast against the law. The new
measure was unpopular over the en-
tire state,
Game preser walton is receiving
more consideration and sentiment
in favor of its growing faster than
ever before. The law was too nitric
ate, the cost of operating was too
great and 1t savored too much Of
politics to meet with popular favor.
Game of this section of the state is
receiving more protection than ever
before. Not SO on account of any
law, but because the necessity is
growing more and apparent.

This word is frequently used in
Mississippi nowadays. The thing it
names is very desirable under the
conditions that confront our people,
especially in the smaller towns and
on the farms. 1t may not be amiss
to call attention to one or two we'll
known, but necessary requisites to
any permanent or successful cooper
alton IN any kind OF effort. People
cannot work unless they are the same
kind of folks. and unless they recop-
nize each other as being their sort
of people. This fundamental fact
was expressed III the olden times by
the query, How can two walk to-
gether unlest they are agreed?" 1t
is expressed in modern times up to
the scientific formula: Likeminded-
ness and consciousness of kind are
elementary in Specialization.
To secure cooperation, therefore,
it is necessary first to do those
things that will make divers kinds
OF people alike. and to enable them to
know their likeness; country people
and town people who think there is
a difference between them of the
kind of people," can boss one the
other, but cannot cooperate. Those
forces, educational, religious, and
economic, that are working to bring
all our people to standard OF eff
cheney and to lone mind" regarding
the common experiences of life, are
to be heartily commended by all, and
give promise of happy future for
our state.
1t is to be remembered that triv-
ial things, like clothing. housing, So
cial and religious customs, are OF
prime importance in enabling people
to recognize each other as the same
sort OF folks.
Cooperation means organization.
There is much needed organizing
being done in Mississippi. 1t is well
to keep in mind the fact, trite bat
true, that organization fails when
the members cease to think they are
receiving benefit. All organization,
even a prayer meeting, must have
this force for lbs success. Not duty,
but profit, makes The wheels of the
machinery turn. 1t may be that
this ought not to be true. but is,
and the leaders IN these movements
for civic betterment are acting wise.
ly in organizing on this basis.

I. WHAT THRIFT IS.

BY G Il Howerton. Prof, Business Practice
1t is more than saving. Saving
may produce thrift, and it may not.
Thrift reaches far deeper into the
life than mere saving. Thrift is not
stinginess. In fact, stinginess may
interfere with thrift. Suppose We
say that thrift is the result of so
managing yourself and your affairs
that you will be better off-worth
more - tomorrow, personally and
financially, than you are today,
Thrift, then, is matter of person
atty. The person who has a good
case of it is surrounded by thrift
atmosphere. He or she. likewise has
"a thrift influence. Every thrifty
person is a help to every other per-
son with whom he comes in contaci
Hence this department desires to use

They have more sense on this sub
iect than all the teachers and preach
ers in the community. We desire
also to use the mothers. Some one
has said no one can ever become
thrifty without the aid of his wife.
Few sons make thrifty men with
out the aid of thrifty mother.
Thrift, then, is not only personal
conservation, and equipment, but it

expenditure, 1t is management.
self-directlon, self-control Notice
that thrift Is so managing ones
self as well as ones affairs. 1t re-
cures some self control on the part
OF a child to refrain from buying a
dimes worth of candy, in order
to deposit or invest that dime.
Temptations to spend are all around
us-to spend money. time, health,
self. Not to indulge is the highest
kind OF sell control. This is vir
tue for which we struggle, and later
it become a HABIT.
Suppose we think of Thrift in the
outline:
l. industrious prnductivty-the
daily earning and getting OF
something
2. The systematic saving the
daily conservation of something o.
8. wise and watchful investing
the constant growing of some
thing.

Corps brought about by increase in

that the total number of enlisted men
of the Marine Corps shall be increa sed
to 20 per cent of the total authorized
strength of the navy. and that the
total number of Marine Corps officers
shall be per cent of the authorized
number of enlisted men.
The war reserve contemplated in the
bill would be established by trans
ferring to the list officers who attain
the prescribed age in grade without
being selected for promotion. Such
officers would be assigned war stations
for mobilization purposes. to which
they might be detailed not exceeding
two months each year. They would
receive graded pay based upon their
rank and years of service at the time
of their transfer from the active list
The bill makes $40 new places above
the grade of lieutenant and provides
that the number of lieutenants of the
senior and Junior grades and ensigns
shall be governed only by the output
of the Naval Academy. The increase
from 400 to 72O in the number of Of
flcers senior to lieutenant IS spread
equally over a period of five years and

make it unnecessary to begin selection

Personnel Bill Provides for Sc
lection Instead of the Pres
ent Seniority Rule.
PROVISION FOR RESERVE
OF OFFICERS IS MADE
Recreates Grade of Commodore fol-
Navy and Brigadier General
for Marines.

The administration Navy and Marine
Corps personnel bill has been intro
duced in the House by Representative
Padgett of Tennessee, chairman of the
naval affairs committee. the measure
having been prepared by board I'M
der direction of Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt of the navy. The principal
feature of the bill is the method of
promotion by recommendation and ex-
animation.
Officers are to become candidates for
promotion in each grade only after a
certain specified term of experience in
each rank. with sufficient sea duty to
make them thorough sailors. The rec
ommendation of superior officers Is
necessary for advancement. An in
crease of officers amounting to so per
cent in each grade is provided; also a
reserve corps of officers, and the old
grade of commodore is re-esta blished
for the navy and the grade of brigadier
general is established in the Marine
Corps.
Selections for Promotion.
Under the plan all officers above the
rank of lieutenant would be subject to
promotion by selection upon passage
of the bill, the selections being made
from each grade by officers of the
ranks above.
The board reported that after care
full consideration it was convinced the
system of promotion by seniority must
be abandoned.
I'VE believe" said the report, that
the principal merit of the system we
recommend is that, having accepted the
principle that the navy itself should
do the selecting, we have carried this
out in a logical manner by requiring in
each case that as many officers of the
navy as possible take part in this i'm
portant work. so that no officer passed
over can feel or allege that the preju-
dice of one or two superiors has blasted
his prospects"

Lack Chance for Training.

To show the generally unsa tistactory
results of promotion by seniority. the
board points out that by June of this
year the navy will have about $50
Junior lieutenants. of whom, under the
present system, only about fifteen can
be advanced to lieutenants. the re-
mainder having no advancement in
prospect before reaching the retired
list The average age of the captains
to be advanced to rear admirals during
che next year is about sixty years.
This condition. the board declares
sends the higher graded officers to the
retired list before they can acquire the
necessary training in handling the fleet
that would prepare them to discharge
their war duties.
