LOCAL MARINE is SKILLED
RIFLEMAN ON BATTLESHIP

By showing his ability as rifle
man, Private Jack I. Moreland, of
lula, this county, has qualified as a
sharpshooter in the United States
Marine Corps, according to an Of
fetal report from Washington. Here
after he will wear the sharpshooter'
medal and will receive an increase in
pay. His mother, Mrs. Mile E. More
land. is well known resident of

Private Moreland enlisted in the
Marine Corps on March 27, last year
at Memphis, Tenn. He is now sta
toned on board the battleship Ari-
IONA, one of the largest of American
superdreadnoughts. and said to have
an equipment equal to that of any
war vessel afloat.
During the summer months, the
Marines on the Arizona went to Guam
tanamo, Cuba, for target practice. re-
turning to New York early in May.
After two weeks stay in the Hud-
son River, the ship ,steamed for
Southern waters, where it is now en-
gagged in fleet maneuvers.
Private Moreland will visit many
new scenes during his enlistment as
it is customary for our large battle
ships to move about constantly from
place place.

Commissioner OF Education
Our American democracy, the hope
Of the world, demands universal edu-
cation of the best type-education of
all for freedom, initiative. self-re-
straint, cooperation and obedience to
law. In this education the kinder
garten has a very important place.
It's spirit is that of democracy, and
tends toward freedom, initiative. self
restraint, cooperation and obedience
to law.
For all our young children, both of
native born and CT foreign born
parentage, and especially for the lat
ter, kindergarten schools should be
provided, either by public or by pri-
vate support.
l should like to urge all school Of
Gcers and all citizens who are inter
Ested in the welfare Of the people and
in the permanency and fullest develop
ment Of our democracy to use their
influence for the establishment and
maintenance of kindergartens for all
children.

Five Million Dollar Bond Issue.

Five Million Dollar Bond Issue.
This bond issue carries every pro-
vision for repairs at al the state in
stitutions, including the heating sys-
tenn and dormitories for colleges, and
with our common schools, consolidated
schools and agricultural high schools
turning out graduates by the thou
sands. unless dormitories are added
many of our boys and girls are de-
lprived of chance of higher educa-
ton; delay of two or three years
means an educational opportunity lost
forever to many. Some of our coll
leges have six students in a room,
most of them have three. The, best
work cannot be done under these con-
ditions.
All items of repair were eliminat-
led from the appropriations for the
various institutions, and included in
| the bond issue; and the day the ref
erendum petition is filed with the
secretary of state this also is sus-
pended No bonds can be issued, no
repairs made, and special session of
the Legislature, at great expense to
the state. would be inevitable. Every
item in the bond issue has been pass
ed upon by competent architect. The
conditions at our hospitals, both in
sane and charitable, the heating sys-
Items at three or four of our institu-
tons, ARE almost tragical.
The bond issue is to be handled by
La commission composed Of the gov
lernor, lieutenant governor, attorney
general, insurance commissioner, the
speaker of the House, two members
4 of the House. Hon. A. HI. Stone and
Hon. T. L. Bailey, and Senators Kyle
land McCallum. They do not have to
make all of these improvements unless
prices are satisfactory. They can
take the money provided, use it as far
as it will go, and refuse to put up any
lone building. or they can refuse to
lerect any.
These bonds are on the serial pay
lment plan, run for 80 years, and ev-
cry person who. gets the benefit Of
them will pay Something toward re-
firing them.
4 Counties, municipalities, road dis
tricts~ and drainage districts are per-
United to issue bonds up to ten pel
cent Of their assessed valuation. This
lis the universal standard. People are
voting bond issues for these purposes

Some Of the state officers salaries
We're fixed in 1902, as the supreme
court judges. Others in 1910. For
1918-19 this item was S667 900; for
1920-21, 100000, an increase of $123,
900, or $4,000 per anum. less than
% per cent in 10 years; and in that
time the increase in the cost of living
has been enormous. The governor
will get $500, supreme judges 3d.
500, and for additional services will
be paid sum of $1,000. The super
intendent of education will get 3d.
500. All other officers from $4,000
to $1,000. Jackson pays its mayor
So 800, each of the councilmenT 5000,
superintendent of schools $4,000. The
ministers of the churches get from
$4,000 to $4,000. with the addition of
a home. This is by way of COMPARE
son.
The clerks in the state offices get
! from $1,000 to $4,000. From 1876 to
1913 they received $1,000; in 1918
they were raised to $1,000. They are
lust about in line with the salaries
paid by business houses.
There are some additional employees,
such as stenographer for the audi
TORS Office and the treasurer's Of
offices which have handled mil
lions of dollars and most of the states
business, end for which no stenogra-
piers have ever been provided. There
had been no increase in the number
of clerks from 1876 to 1920. This
would certainly tend to efficiency.

Conclusion.
This is not time for restraint in
Mississippi's development. Other
states are looking forward, preparing
for greater things. We must do our
part in the upbuilding OF the state
and place it in a condition for future
greatness. | know. that some per-
sons threaten legislators with the
taxpayers and voters, and there are
many ambitious men in the Legisla-
ture who also knew that, and that
they were jeopardizing their political
futures by voting as they did. But
tit should be matter of pride to the
state that these men-and many OF
them young men, with bright futures
preferred to take this risk rather
than leave unprovided for the school
children, the old Confederate soldiers
the farming interests. the helpless in.
sane. the suffering, the blind and the
deaf and dumb. But the people Of
Mississippi are fair and reasonable
and when they study the acts of the
last Legislature and the needs of oul
citizens they are going to approve
what was done and indorse the man
hood and courage. of the people wht
acted.
As for myself personally there is nj
power known that could have forcet
me to neglect these people, to whom
the state has promised protection. i
is a settled fact that we cannot keel
our faces to the past and try to bacl
Into the. future: we must about-fact
and go forward.
