Bouquet for the Legislature

The Clarion Ledger has the fol.
lowing to say of the legislature
which adjourned last Saturday,
after a session of three months and
eight days:
Like all past sessions, and prob
ably all future ones, the present
session of the Legislature has not
been exempt from criticism. Some
of it was undoubtedly deserved,
yet as a whole the body was one
of the best that has assembled at
the capitol in many years. 1t
was composed in large part of
young, energetic men, a majority
of them with no former legislative
experience. With few old heads
to point the way and steer the
ship of state clear of the rocks of
recklessness, the record they made
is one they may well feel proud
of.
The members of the Legislature
may have done some things they
should not have done, and may
have left undone some things they
should have done, but they are
entitled to and should receive the
thanks of the people of Missis-
sippi for the foresight and liber
ality they have shown in provid.
ing for and taking care of the
State on liberal basis but with,
out the shadow of reckless ex
penditure.
They have been liberal yet con,
servative; they have protected the
interests of the people, yet they
have kept appropriations well in
side the limit of revenues; they
have shown spirit of loyalty and
patriotism that will long live in
the hearts of grateful Mississippi
ans, and take back to their homes
with them the consciousness of
having performed Loyalty and
faithfully the duties entrusted to
them.
The Legislature just adjourned
will 60 down in history as one of
the best, most progressive and
most intelligent body of lawmak
ers that ever assembled to trans,
act business in the capital of the
State.
They have performed we'll their
duty and return to their constitu-
ents entitled to their thanks, their
confidence and their esteem.

Good Relations that Are Most
Vital.

The Springfield, Mass, Re-
publican thus closes an editorial
on American policy toward Great
Britain: Finally, our supreme
interest lies in the maintenance
of good relations with Canada
and Great Bcitian; and while
goods relations are eminently de-
sirable with pan-America they
are not 50 vital 10 US as friend
ship with the nations Of the
English-spaakinc world. "
CandidIy 8arsking, there is
nothing in tn wide, wide world
for the Uni-ad States 80 vita
as friendship with the English
speaking world, " One, perhaps
the m lin, reason for this IS that
British sea mastery is vital pro-
lection Of this great nation;grea
in everything except military
and naval p)atr. And this must
remain relatively feeble so long
as Democracy and the volunteer
reliance shall survive. Moth

paredness." After taxing to the
utmost our volunteer military
capacities and resources, an army
increase is provided that would
still leave the United States low
er in the army scale than Swift
zerland. While the suggestion
of having "a navy equal to any
ahoat by 1926" is "scoffed" at
by navy authorities.
Such dependence as this upon
the big guns Of another nation is
not a thing to be viewed with
pride. 1t offers too close q par
allel to the Carthagenians, who
did their fighting by proxy, and
consequently perish. But the de-
pendence is a fact nevertheless
"a fact there is no use being
sensitive over until prepared
ness against German frightful-
ness, which is the real ghost of
the play, is achieved. Depend
ence is, fortunately, linked t,
the other fact that is lodged in
all sane minds. That war be-
tween this country and the Brit
ish empire is not nationally think
able. This is not so much a case
of love, as that each needs the
other in her business. -Vicks.

An Unnecessary Office

Governor Bilbo very wisely
held up the bill passed by the
Legislature authorizing the ap-
polntment by the Supreme Court
of a bond attorney, whose duty
it shall be to pass on the validity
of all State, county, district and
municipal bond issues.
The enactment of this measure
would mean the creation of a
new office, which is not in itself
a serious matter, but in this in
stance it happens to be an un-
necessary office.
1t is a well-known fact that no
bond issue, State, county, dis
trict or municipal, can be sold in
this country until it's validity is
passed upon by Judge Wood of
Chicago. who is recognized as
Americas foremost expert on
securities of this character.
The opinion. therefore, of a
bond attorney" employed by
the State would carry no more
weight than that of any other at
torney, since higher legal author
tiles must be fully satisfied be-
fore a bond issue can be mar

Again the Peanut

The peanut oil industry prom
ises to develop into one of the
most important enterprises in
the State. A mill at Brundidge,
which is one year old, has jus'
reported an excellent showing
for the first twelve-month period
of its existence. There are re.
ports of other mills soon to be
established.
Many cotton seed oil mills in
this and other states are prepar-
ing a part of their equipment for
the crushing of peanuts, and this
is expected to prove a very pro-
fitable side line. Figures on the
possibilities of the industry for
the farmer were published in a
recent edition of the Manufac-
turers Record:
The article says:
Another phase of the situation is
the relation of profit per acre to
the farmer between cotton and
peanuts. The average yield of
peanuts is about 40 bushels to the
acre and ee-quarters of a ton of
splendid hay. The maximum value
of the peanuts for oil production
is, under present conditions, 60
cents bushel, or $24 an acre. The
value of the hay is SIP ton. or So
an acre, making a total of $32 All
acre. On the basis of one-third of
bale of cotton to the acre, the
lint and seed together will yield a
return Of about $22. Figures OBJ
tanned by the experience of
great many farmers indicate that
the cost of growing an acre of pea
nuts is no greater than that for an
acre of cotton, if as great-that is,
between $l4 and SIS, including all
labor and expenses. The return or
net profit to the farmer is approxi-
mately $40 greater for peanuts than
for cotton. When these facts are
clearly understood by the farmers
of the saudy land districts of the
South there will be little difficulty
80 far as their attitude toward the
peanut crop is concerned.
Of course, in all new industrial
efforts. there is the period of get
ting all parts to work together
for a profit; and in this period
there will be many persons
whose high hopes will be sobered
by failure; but failures are the
foundation of success, as they
teach the way to success. This
is not the first we have heard of
the peanut oil industry. A few
years ago there was considera-
BILE campaign started and every
body spoke of peanuts. We ap-
pear to be coming now into the
second stage, where practical
methods of milling are intro
duced; and there is good reason
to think that better results will
be obtained.
There is proof enough that the
industry should be of value in
Alabama. Peanuts can be grown
readily in nearly every section of
the state, and as the plant is a
legume, the soil is benefited
wherever a crop is planted. They
are immensely valuable for feed
ing hogs, too. 1t looks as if Ala
bama has hit upon sure source
of revenue for the farmer and
the manufacturer. Mobile Reg

Lewis D. Bovnton. a wealthy
Ohio lawyer, inserted this para
graph in his will: II particular
ly warn against attorneys at

not be necessary to employ them
in the adjustment of my estate.
My experience has taught me
that they are all dangerous

a severe indictment against the

had more or less cause for his
bitterness.

house sustained the administration
256 to 100 This vote shut off all
amendments to the McLemore docu-
ment. It prevented the house from
voting on a simple substitute resO-

warning question and put the house
on record against considering the Vi
tai issue at this time.
Leader Kitchin voted to shut off
amendments. His lineup with the
