papers FOR
CLEAN TOWN CONTEST
RESULT OF COMPETITION WILL
NOT BE ANNOUNCED FOR
SOME DAYS.

| Jackson, Miss, June 20-Dr. Willis
Valley. chief sanitary inspector fOl
the Mississippi State Board of Health
stated today that the grading of the
report papers from the cities, towns
and villages that entered into the
lcleanest town contest for 1916, is pro
igressing, but is not yet completed, and
probably will not be for a fortnight
or more. DR.. Valley reports that
there were forty-odd communities in
1.-THE contest this year, representing all
igrades of municipalities, from the five
figure to the three-fgure class, and
the work done and the competition
carried on is keen and exciting.
We are getting inquiries from diff
iferent towns frequently" said DR.
Valley, asking when the publication
lof results will be made, or if they are
going TO be made at all, and il will
help out very much, if You will say
through your paper that all will be
made at the same time, after all grad
ing is finished This will be perhaps
in fortnight or perhaps longer, but
! think the awards will be ready by
the last week in the present month"
According 10 DR.. Valley, the board
Of health field and inspection service
is arranging for a new line of endeav-
or, whereby ii is expected to promote
the interest and well-being of those
do their eating in public. II is pro
posed 10 put in a system of inspec-
ton or grading of all restaurants and
public eating places, whether regular
bona tide cafes, or lunch counters,
railroad eating houses, and hop, skip
and jump stands. The result of these
inspections is TO be placarded and the
placards will be posted conspicuously
at each esta blishment, just as soon as
completed. The details for this new
departure are being worked out, and
as soon as completed, the plan will be
put in operation. The theory is that
it is just as much a duty TO the public
to require that the resorts at which
they take their meals are as much
above reprOach as the hotel rooms and
other tavern arrangements main
tanned for public service.
DR.. Valley and his associates are
now engaged il perfectlng the details
for this restaurant inspection, and il
is probable that Il special Bulletin on
the subject will be issued following
the meeting of the state board of
health next week.

lever difficult it may be to render a
satisfactory definition of it, there
seems to be no doubt that it does ex-
tend to the protection of the lives,

NO legislature can curtail the power

The police power of state extends

Wherein Governor Hunt Ofends.

The Public, of Chicago says:
 Governor Hunt of Arizona has kept order in mining strike e district without disl egarding the constitutional rights of the strik
 CTS without resorting to viol- ence. When he sent the militia to the scene of the strike at Cliff ton he ordered strict impartial ity in dealing with law breakers, whether strikers agent or mine owners themselves. Consequent
 ly, there have been no riots nor Ludlow massacres. But one un- usual thing has happened. A petition is being circulated for Governors Hunts recall on the alleged ground that he has de liberately attempted to foment and encourage class hatredS and divisions; that he has been part isan and prejudiced in his deal
 ings with the most radical ele- ment, he has created a condi- tion approaching anarchy in cer- tain sections of the State. So it appears that unless a Governor takes sides in strike againt the strikers he caters to the most radical element and creates a condition approaching an archy.' There is a little pOSsib- ility that such reasoning can bring about the Governors re- call. But the attempt to do so will proba bly, make him popular. ''
