What of the Future of
Mississippi?

Mrs. w. f. Marshall, State
Librarian, at the fifty first an
nual session of the Mississippi
Press Association which was held
in the city of Clarksdale last
week:
Mr.. President, Ladies and
Gentlemen of the Mississippi
Press Association:
[ count 1t an honor and a gra-
cious privilege to have been
asked by you for paper on this
occasion, for | know no profess
sion, calling or trade more cul-
tured, patriotic, progressive or
forbearing. than that of the
printing and newspaper fraterni-
ty. You are loved ty those who
love progress and good govern
ment. and are respected by all
others because of the power with
IN your press rooms.
| congratulate you, Mississippi
printers and newspaper men and
women, that since our last meet
ing in the qaeenIy little city of
West Point one year ago. we
have had enacted into law a
statute, providing that all public
, printing IN this state Shall be
done in a Mississippi prlht shop
awarded upon competitive bids.
Nor am | one of those who fear a
trust being built under this very
splendid law!
You are justly entitled TO tins
public business at fair and reas
enable compensation. and | may
90 further too and say that you
are justly. though net 'regally.
entitled to the private and bust
ness printing, and publishing. OF
every citizen IN the State. and |
hope you have 1t, or may soon
get it.
Let professional and business
men. OF their own patriotic eoli-
ton, give the printer their busi-
ness, as the State now gives
hers by law, and the printing
and publishing business IN Miss.
lssippi will have come into it's
very own. 1t is right to do thus.
for you are tax-paylng citizens.
leading IN every good word and
work for the advancement of our
State i'm moral and material
way.
1t is not fair to home printers
that even our Government at
Washington should dispossess,
IN way. you of your profession
al existence. Our government
should no more compete with
you, as printers. than it should
enter the business of manufac-
turing and placing with the trade,
shoes, calicoes. sewing machines
or starch, and | hope that Con-
gress. if that is the proper trib-
unal to settle it may soon be so
moved upon that such a practice
may be impossible, under the
law.
Let the Government take it's
hands out Of the printing busi-
ness, as competitor Of the Home
printer.
First, you lead in civic pride,
and promote every good cause
by advertising and boosting the
good work.
In education, the press has
given publicity to every move
ment along this line, and Miss
issippl is fast coming to the
front. Already. we have more
Agricultural High Schools than
any other state in the Union.
