1st to December 31st, but owing to
the unusual conditions existing in the

to allow shipments under permit Up

ever, the weevil situation does not
warrant the commission to extend the
date, as there is considerable ele-
ment of risk in doing so.

SIX-DAY WORK

While officials are bringing into operation the laws we
already have to govern the conduct OF men; while lawyers are
reviewing the dusty volumes of forgotten legal lore in the hope
OF finding that some men are outside the pale Of the law, and
while some are besieging the congress to enact other laws, and
more rigid laws, we have been content to turn back to one OF the
earliest and most ancient OF all laws that have been handed down
to us through the ages, with never a question OF its constitution
atty ana never a doubt OF its authorship.
We quote it as it was given by Moses to the people at the
loot Of Mount Sinai, as recorded, in the twentieth chapter OF
six DAYS shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: but the
seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou
shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter. thy
nanservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger
that is within thy gates" -,
The Injunction not 10 work seven days a week is pretty we'll
observed. whether because OF a reverence for the Sabbath or a
distaste for work we do not pretend to say,
There is very ltie provocation for admonshing people
against working too mach or too long. Whether the observance
is spiritual or physical. the fact remains the same.
What we mean to impress here is tins:
The injunction to labor six days is just as binding a COM
mand upon the people as the injunction not to work on the sew
enth day.
The sanctty o. the Sabbath, so lar as doing no work is con
cerned, is well observed.
Comparatively lew observe the Scripural admontlon TO
labor six days.
Nearly everybody these days begins observing Sunday at IL
o'clock Saturday noon.
II we have read our Scriptures ~aright-and we hold that
nobody can get along without a Bible in easy reach-either the
Sermon on the Mount ought to be revised and adapted to mod
en conditions, or we should bark back to the day when it was
"a religious ofiense to work seven days, and a civil offense not
TO work six.
Perhaps we might revise the Scriptures, since some of the
chuIches seem to be able to do 1t, SO the command could be
made to read; Five and one-half days Of five hours each shalt
thou receive pay for labor, but not do all thy work, with time and
a malt Tor overtime and double time for holidays and Sundays
but the last half of the sixth and the entire seventh day thou
shalt not even make a pretext to work"
The prevailing high prices are not due to a shortage OF food
Suits or a lack OF material out of which clothing could be made,
and not because there is a shortage of workmen, but because all
men are not working long enough and not working honestly
enough during the time they are paid to work.
Add to this the disposition OF men who control the raw
material to keep it off the market and hold it for higher prices,
and you have the reason for the high cost Of living.

Mississippian And
POLicemGn'S Pistol
Go At Same Time

Police Saturday morning, following in
structions at roll call, were keeping
sharp lookout in every part of the city
for Grady Pace, young farmer from Sa-
rah, Miss, who, 1t is alleged, Friday
night snatched a pistol from aPtrolman
Redders' scabbard and fired several
shots at the officer. Pace was under
arrest at the time, being held by Red
ders. who also was OBTAINING Homer
Pace, now docketed on a charge OF be-
ing drunk and disordery. At the corner
Of Main street and Talbot avenue Grady
Pace jerked away from the patrolman,
according to the latter's report, and
after securing the fun opened fire,
Redders was not hit, though two bull
let's graZed him. Vigorous appliance
Of the night stick caused Pace to run.
He took with him the pistol. Police
think he left last night for Mississippi.
Homer Pace was r~ecaptured after the
melee M hauled to the police station.
He was suffering from cut about the
head and taken to the General hospital,
where his wounds were dressed. Later
he was returned to headquarters, where
he is being held.
The trouble started, Policeman Red
ders says, in a South Main street room
ing house. where, il is alleged, the Pace
brothers threatened Mrs. Mary Jenkins.
Accounts related to Capt. Kehoe de-
clare Mrs. Jenkins suffered cuts on the
head in n difficulty with the MISSISSIPPI
plans. Homer Pace denies that he en-
gagged in a fight at the rooming house.
and says that he made on effort to get
away from Patrolman Readers,

MAKE AN EXAMPLE

There must be no failure on the part OF the law-eniorcing
officials to prosecute the persons guilty OF fraud in Thursdays
election.
Because the election is over is no reason for dismissing the
election fraud as one Of the incidents OF an election.
The right to vote and the right to have the vote counted as
east is a sacred prerogative. 1t is a right that no man should
be denied.
We are beginning a new order Of things A clean ticket
has been elected to assume control of this city on Ian. t. The
women of Memphis elected the ticket. They voted for a clean
administration.
Y we are going to have it we must begin now.
1t is the duty OF the attorney general to bring to Justice every
person guilty OF election irregularity.
If the purity OF the ballot is not preserved we cannot have
a democratic government.
1T 1t is possible Tor three election commissioners 10 appoint
men capable OF thwarting the will OF the people it is also possible
Tor the courts TO set an example that will forever make a rcpeti-
ton Of fraud impossible.
The people demand that the grand Jury 60 to the bottom of
whatever c~rookedness there was in Thursdays election.
There was plenty OF warning in advance to prevent whole
sale stealing, and should have prevented any but the hardened
crooks from attempting it.
Always before election there is talk al what &c oo;no IA hc
done TO any person who commits fraud, There was much talk
OF this kind before this election,
We want to know how much OF the talk was sincere and what
part OF it was genuine.
Also there was talk OF an outrageous perversion Of the notice
department by city officials for political purposes. An custer bill
was drawn and signed.
Immediately the cry OF politics went up. We have NOT seen
the bill and know nothing about it. but this much is true II the
facts are as reDorted before the election they indicate A shocking
condition OF affairs in the city government.
Even II the city government has not sixty DAYS to serve II
should be held to a strict accountability for any fragrant oficnscs
that have been committed.
