(Intended for last week.

A custom observed annually by the
local chatter T. D. c., is that of clean
ing and decorating with flowers, the
place where lie so many Confederate
dead.
The weather was ideal last Fri
day, when a goodly number of loyal
Daughters went out and spent the
day, supervising the york being done
on the grounds. BY the courtesy of
Mr.. hurry c. Falkner, a substantial
table with seats attached was sent
out and given to the ladies for per-
manent use there. This added great
ly to the comfort of serving a very
delightful lunch at II o'clock.
Throughout the day, in an informal
way, many plans were discussed for
identifying and making attractive
this spot, a result of which was that

Magnolia, Miss, April 10, 1922.
To The People of Mississippi:
On the sixth day of May, 1862,
the tocsin of war was sounded in
every southern community for on
that day the Congress of the Con-
federate States recognized state of
war as being in existence.
By authority, our President, Jeff
erson Davis, that man of iron will
and dauntless courage; that man who
never hesitated, who never faltered
when dtuy demanded, called for
volunteers to repel an insolent foe,
who was invading our beautiful
Southland. The finest young men
from every walk of life answered the
call.
After four long and strenuous
years, during which they endured
many hardships; many long and
weary marches; when their rations
were exhausted and ranks depleted,
they laid down their arms to return
to the remains of their charred
homes; ravaged fields and poverty
stricken families, many wounded and
in broken health.
After a few years when it was
learned that quite number of these
heroes, who had been victorious on
more than hundred hard fought
battle fields, were languishing in
poor houses throughout the state,

Must Judges
Read Mind?

New York, May 20. - Federal
Judge Mayer has ordered a resump-
ton of interlocking directors be-
tween the Boston & Maine and the
New York. New Haven & Hartford
railroads. This interlocking system
between the two railroads was dis
solved in 1914 by Attorney General
Gregory.
While Judge Mayors decision does
not permit the New Haven to con-
troll the Boston d Maine, as of old.
the former is allowed a voice in the
management.
THE time has come" said the
court in his decision. 'when. in re-
spect to the operation and control
of these railways the mental atti-
tude should be one of construction. I"
1t is stated that the decision marks
a new policy toward the railroads,
and it is believed that other railroads
and industrial corporations will ask
for modification of DEGREES which
under the Wilson administration
forced their complete separation
from allied interests.

LOAN SHARK STILL FLOURISHes

The loan sharp still flourishes in a
great many of our cities, and despite
the widespread out-cries that once
arose against the merciless eXactions
of the loan shark, only twenty-fOur
states today have laws fixing a
maximum rate of interest for indus
trial loans. In all other states,
transactions between money lenders
and persons whose assets are not
acceptable as collateral for a small
loan at bank are virtually outside
the law. A lender may charge what
ever interest he can obtain and
rs he operates generally as last
resort in times of emergency. this
rate is often equal to 800 per cent or
more annually.
Only seven out of one hundred per
sons maintain a bank account, and
eighty-six out of one hundred men
fail in life, according to statistics.
OF the fourteen who succeed but two
make a marked success. Therefore,
fourteen men out of one hundred are
entitled to bank credit which calls for
collateral that is acceptable under
the law. BY this ! mean that only
Ii per cent. or let US say 20 per cent
of the adult population of this coun-
try can borrow money from banks
for the reason that they have a bank
account and can furnish the kind Of
readily marketable security which
banks necessarily require as collat-
eral to loans.
We know definitely that in states
where there is no small-loan legisla
tion the minimum rate clandestinely
charged is 10 per cent a month.
Twenty per cent a month is quite
frequent. and many loans have been
found to be made at from 500 per
cent to 1000 per cent vear-and
some even above that. For many
years the standard loan shark rate
in all states. and still the rate in
many states which do not legali2e
the necessary compensation. was and
is on the basis Of adding so per cent
to the loan and making the amount
payable, without interest. in twelve
weekly instruments A loan of $25
would require twelve weekly pay
ments of S313 each A loan of $50
would require twelve weekly pay
ments of $6.25 each. These are
authentic figures. reported by police
departments. grand Jury records,
legal aid societies, etc. A. Reich

OF course this would carry with
the obligation on the part of tn
miner to work by the month an
would mean that he forfeited hi
months wages if he left his worI
before the month was up.
These suggestions apply to tn
"day men" The miners" as al
ready explained, are paid by the ton
but under system Of this kind i
is still more difficult to work out ;
| solution which will insure to thu
miner continuous daily wage equa
to the cost Of living. And notwith
standing the operatives preference,
for tonnage basis, practical So
luton Of this problem appears to liz
IN adjusting the miners compensa
ton on the basis Of monthly wage
thus putting all the employees of The
mine under the same system. This
| would of course involve abolishing
the tonnage system altogether, bur
would standardiZe both the cost and
the wages upon a mutually equitable
basis.
In close connection with this CUES
ton Is the disputed checking SYSTEM.
The unions demand that the opera
tors deduct the union dues of each
miner from his monthly wages and
pay it over to the union. The oper-
ators with considerable logic contend
that there should be no obligation up
ON them to do the unions bookkeep-
ing and to supply them with the sin
eWS of war in the event of strike
But the operators have themselves
established a checking system under
which they deduct from the miners
wages their state, county and road
taxes, whether or not they are citI-
Zens; the rest of the shackS; a doe
tors charge of 81 per month; a
charge of 3/4 per cent upon their
earnings for sharpening tools; their
store bills; and so cents per month
for death and accident insurance (de-
spite The existence of the workman's
compensation actS). They also de-
duct various penalties, such as 81 per
day for every day the miner refuses
to work; 81 for the first offense, 50
for the second. So for the third. when
the operator considers that the coal
produced by the miner is unneces-
sarily dirty, etc. The miners have
offered to withdraw their demand

union dues. provided the operators
will abolish the entire checking sys-
tenn, but the operators have so far
refused this offer. Nevertheless, an
acceptance of this proposition would
certainly eliminate a great deal of
friction.
The above fairly covers, in a gen
eral way, the errors and iniustices
involved in the present system so
far as they relate to the living con-
ditions and wage scale of the miners,
and the relation which these ques-
tions bear to the efficiency of the in
dustry and to the just demands of
the operatives and the public My,

ton of the operators demands. and
the fundamental requirements upon
which we must necessarily base ourI
