NEW PAT AND MIKE

At midnight Pat suggests that they go around to his house and hitch un his donkey and so for ride. The stable door is un locked and Mike is left to harness up the donkey while Pat goes indoors for travelling comforts. Mike gropes in the darkness and mistakes COW for the donkey. He cannot slip the collar over the cows head because of it's horns. and Pat returns to the scene no find Mike standing dumbfounded

tNeUs Of Mississippi Capital

Jackson. Miss, January 17.-CSpecia1.)- The Mississippi legislature has gotten down to business. the start being as of piece of perfect and well-greased machin- cry. There has been no friction, so far, anywhere. because of the fact. no doubt, that the low-pressure crowd, the dis gruntled. one-gallus eiemenc is in hopeless minority. This fact was plain ss the nose on a Roman senator's face when Mike" Conner was elected speaker without opposition His chief opponent. s Jo Cowan. having withdrawn from the race before his name was presented for the simple reason that he knew Conner had more than 100 of the 143 votes sewe1 up in a bag. The defeat of Mir QHen also meant something more important, i. e., that the Russell -Bilbo adminstra- tion could not control the legislature. However, it should be said to the credit of both these governors-Bilbo going out and Russell going in-that they are not in sympathy with the cheap screws" and that both insist on progress and con- structive legislation. They do not be- long to Vardaman any more either, be- ing patriotic and thorough American cit izens, and as far away from bolshevism as is President Wilson. and in which they have the greatest confidence.
 THE ANTHONY AMENDMENT
 
 Susan B. Anthony amendment to the fed eral constitution is going to be ratI fled at early date, though tue cp ponents of the measure are hard at work and making headway. It is understood that good many men who came to the legislature as advocates of this measure have been proselyted, but there seems small doubt they are yet in the minority. Every morning a score or more telegrdms from over the state, addressed to the presiding officers of the two houses, are read for effect. At least they are sent here for effect oh the members, and all being on the side of ratification, may cre- ate stampede in Susan B.'s direction. The woman advocates of the amendment are as busy as bees in tar bucket, and the representatives are seeing no peace. A feeler was thrown out in the house a day or two since, causing quite & spir- ited debate for nearly an hour, but it's friends did not get to vote on 1t, as motion to refer to a committee carried heavily. This resolution was against the amendment, bolshevism, anarchism and all other isms, but the house was net ready to settle the matter thus early

LIBERAL TO THE SCHOOLS

The department of education is demand ing, and two bills have already been IT, troduced, that double the present appro- l,riation to the public schools or the state. Indeed. of 8, 900 for two years, the public schools are asking for $o.ooo- GOO for two years, and the chances are they are going to get it. This is one mat ter on which the iow-pressure element limbers up. They may squeeze the h.e out of the universities and the collce.S' tut they dare not vote against the puphc schools. The per capita IS now ana al ways has been one of the lowest m the United States, but Mississippi has thrown discretion to the winds when ti comes to free schools, and the teachers are n high feather It has been heretofore that some of the counties are able to run their free schools eight or nine months In the year. while others cannot gos the four months required. The rich delta counties have piled up school funds year after year. being unable to spend all the moaeN they received from the state because or the low salaries paid the negro teach- CTS, while many of the white counties have gone broke early in the year A recently adopted constitutional amend ment cures that inequality, and here after the board of education has the power and the authority to equalize, the idea being to set aside s1,000,ooo per year in addition to the regular appropriation for that purpose. Mississippi wants and is going to have an educated citizenry, believing her future depends on that largely. There is to be compulsory school law, vocational and physical ed ucation in the event present plans carry along with the largefy increased appro- priation. #

in the session. and it may be that the vote sending the resolution to commit tee did not voice the sentiment of the majority.
 A BIG BOND ISSUE
 One of the most important and far reaching matters that will come before the legislature at this session is MT. Pate g bill ot issue bonds in the sum of 35.OOO.O0O to be used in the construction or perma- nent highways connecting all country towns and important business communi- ties. It is understood. of course, that the federal government will put up as much more, thus giving the state high way commissioners s50.00000 to spend on roads. It seemed at first that this bill would go through with little if any op- position, but some seems to have de- veloped since the lawmakers got to- gether It is known that this bill is in accordance with Governor Bilbo's hobby. He may not be the daddy of the proposi- tion, but he is fathering it for all ss worth and has told his friends that it is his ambition to sign the big bond bill before he goes out of office on Sanuary sO He will hardly be able to get the bill passed before that time. but he is rush ing it. and has abs packers in both houses The only reason it will no, run the gauntlet of both houses by the 10th is that several of the governors enemres have gone to playing politics with the measure They are insisting that Bilbo shall not have the credit of signing the bill, even should it upass. and are holding it off as long as possible. just as they are the vote to ratify the Anthony amendment, another measure the present governor is anxious to sign before the end of his term next Tuesday. While it will take years to expend s50,000, GOO and put up the roads contemplated in the bond issue bill, Governor Bilbo is yet a comparatively young man and such road building would be a big feather in his political bonnet, and his enemies do not propose to let him have the credit if they can help it
 WILL INCREASE SALARIES
 The house has already voted over whelmngly to increase the salary of the governors of the state from SIy9 to s75O0. and that is believed to be rsS wedge that will be used to prize open the strong box for all the other state and county officials. There was a lively but hopeless fight against this bill, but it passed two to one, developing the very incongrous fact that the friends of Gov
