See Need For All Men

Naval authorities take the position
that the fleets and the shore stations
need practically all the trained en-
listed men now in the service. if the
ships which are TO be kept in service.
should the naval treaty be ratified, are
TO be properly manned.
An impression has spread that the
scrapping of number OF older battle
ships will release a large number of
enlisted men. Department officers
Yesterday said that this is not true
Only about 600 men will be released
by the scrapping OF the ships on the
conference list Most of these vessels
are now lin ordinary" that is, they
are tied up with mere handful of
caretakers aboard each.
All the men released in that direc-
ton and many times more will be
needed to man the two new ships
which are TO be completed under the
limitation program.

LEGISLATORS ARE STRONG
ON BILLS FOR REDUCTIONS
Felony If Caught With still-15o in Pen
for Moonshining-Forty Recent
Convictions.

The most popular form of diversion
among the bill writer's of the Legisla-
ture seems to be the framing of meas
ures to abolish some institution or de-
partment of government and to reduce
salaries of state and county officers, at
least dozen bills of this character be-
ing on the calendar.
vigorous fight has already been
launched on the bill framed by the Mis-
sissippi conservation commission seek
ing to create a state bureau of forestry
The possession Of a still, or any part
of still, will constitute a felony, if
the Daniel bill favorably reported by
the senate temperance committee this
morning is passed.
The committee took a few teeth out
of the bill by inserting a clause that
evidence must be presented to show
that the still is intended for the man
ufacture of intoxicating liquor. With
this proof offered, possession of the still
is prima facie evidence of intent to
violate the prohibition law.
There are now more than $50 pris-
cners in the Mississippi penitentiary,
sent up for moonshining, and there,
have been not less than 40 convictions
on this charge during the past two
months. In fact, the penitentiary is
filling up rapidly with moonshiners, and
the Daniel measure, it is believed, will
result in many other convictions.
According to current report, many of
the moonshine stills in use in this state
were purchased from Chicago mail
order house.

YOUNGEST MEMBER IS ELECTED
PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE,

Senator Fred B. Smith, the youngest
Senator was eelcted president of the
State Senate to fill the place
of Lieut.. Governor Casteel who is un-
able to be present on account of illness.
Senator Smith stated that he was op-
posed to a long session of the legis-
lature. He proposes to do his best to
assist the Senate to get down to busi-
ness and keep up a steady grind which
will turn out results.
II will support measures for conser-
vative retrenchment," the Senator de-
clared. II favor nothing radical, but
such enactments as will foster conser-
vative economy. In my opinion the
greatest task before us is to undo many
of the things that we did two years
ago.
Il am opposed to the automobile tax
from the counties and giving it to the
state thru the Highway Commission;
I favor the payment of this tax to the
counties. 1 oppose the present county
salary law. Some system of paying
county officers ought to be devised and
provided
Il oppose at this time any new Of
fees or institutions. The time has
come when we must regard economy"
Senator Smith was born in Tippah
county in 1892. He received his elem
entary education in the Mississippi
Heights Academy, Blue Mountain. Af-
ter four years in Millsaps College, he
received the degree of Bachelor Of
Sciences. He then attended the Univer-
sity of Mississippi and took a law de-
gree. Since then he has been engaged
in the practice of his profession in
Ripley
When barely of age, Mr. Smith was
elected to the lower house of the state
legislature. Having served one term in
that body representing Tippah and Ben
ton counties, he was elected to the sem
ate from Union county, which term he
is now serving. During the first ses-
sion of the present legislature Senator
Smith was chairman of the Corpora
uons committee and a member of the
Judiciary, the Constitutional, and the
Railroads and Franchises committees.
In 1917 Senator Smith married Miss
Elizabeth McCarley, of Ripley. They
have child, Frances, four years old.

ROBT. A. WOODALL RE-
PEATS HEINOUS CRIME
Sent Up From Here-Attacks wesson
Girl-The Miscarriage of Justice
by Pardoning.

Robt. A. Woodall, whose malodorous
crime in Lincoln county some twelve
years ago is we'll remembered has again
run amuck. He was pardoned two or
three years ago and became free by
the pardoning power only to repeat his
crime. He doubtless, had been on good
behavior in the pen, because he had to
be and when he could do as he pleased"
he did. He has again attacked a little
girl and is in the Wesson jail
Releasing a man does not seem to
change his morals. His crime has told
he is beyond the pale of decent society
The law is always favorable to the
accused and after running the gamut of
it by legal process the criminal, con-
victed and sentenced, should expiate his
crime according to the law.
The realization that there is no re-
trieve when sentence is once passed by
the court would help to prevent
crime and protect the commonwealth.
When your son is killed by man
turned loose" because of mistaken sym
pathy: because the condemned has been
punished enough; or for some politi-
cal reason, this fact will not lessen your
grief nor bring your dead back to you,
neither will it revive the purity and
beauty of life for your daughter, tho
ravished by "pardoned criminal"
The whole thing in a nutshell is
obey the law! If you have no moral
code. inform yourself of the legal lines
beyond which you cannot go and govern
yourself accordingly
The only way to avoid the hangman's
moose, or prison walls. is to obey the
law--at least that would be the only
way, IL the law were permitted to func-
tion purely for the protection OF So
ciety.

THE RIGHT SORT OF JUDGE.

Judge Thayer, of Massachusetts,, has
demonstrated that he is the right sort of
a man to have on the bench. Notwith-
standing the fact that anarchists all
over the world have been indulging in
demonstrations" and making all sorts
of threats as to what they would do
in the event two of their brothers, Sac
co and Vanzetti. convicted of cold
blooded murder, were not given a new
trial, Judge Thayer emphatically denied
them that privilege.
The convicted men were represented
by skilled counsel and every opportun-
ity was given to show any reason why
justice had not been done in the pre-
vious trial, and when they failed to do
this the Judge without fear or favor
rendered his decision in favor of truth
and justice, upholding the verdict of
the jury.
They were accused of a cold-blooded
murder from motives of greed. A jury
found them guilty on the evidence-not
on the fact that they were anarchists
for the judge had forbidden them TAX
ing this into consideration, and the
judge decides that the jury alone is the
JuueS VI the ldClS III the CdS6I making
the reservation that should their attor-
neys be able to show any irregularity
in legal procedure, their appeal for a
new trial would be further considered.
Down in Marion county there seems
to have been another judge of the same
sort of cloth. At a term of court just
adjourned, thirteen men were sent to
the penitentiary, two of whom escaped
the death sentence by the narrowest of
margins. G. Wood Magee presided ov-
er this court as special judge and in
the execution of the law was ably as
sisted by District Attorney Toxic Hall.
Both these officials had received notes
threatening them with dire calamity"
unless they let up, and placing the cas-
es squarely up to the jury, demonstra-
ted the fact that twelve men could be
found good and true" who will do their
duty and bring in verdicts of guilty
if the law and evidence justify
A few more terms of court like that

Truck Operations Are
Ahead of Usual Schedule

Trucking operations were never
known to be so well advanced in Co.
piah county at this time of the year.
A considerable ecreage of cabbage is
already in the fields, some are planting
peas, and many acres of carrots are al
ready growing in the fields. In truck
ing it is the early bird that gets the
worm of good prices, but we really have
our winter weather before US, and
growers should bear this in mind. Most
growers are beginning the New Year
in an optimistic frame of mind The
crop will not cost sanything like it did
last year to produce and market-fer-
tilizer, labor and containers all being
cheaper. If all the acreage to be put
in truck produces a normal yield, we
may look for low prices, but it is the
rarest thing in the world that full yields
are produced throughout all the truck
ing sections.-Hazlehurst Courier.

THE LIFE OF PUBLIC SERVANTS
STRESS rs VERY GREAT.

We are not in favor of extravaganza
Of any sort anywhere; but judging by
the augmented work of a newspaper Of
flee, for instance, at this period of pro-
gress-if not great prosperity-it has
occurred to us that the work perhaps
of county officers" including boards of
Supervisors, and other businesses, pub
lie and private, is far greater at this
present time than it ever has been.
There is a power somewhere that is
urging on the inevitable and universal
strain and rush, in public or private
office" and demands more time, more
nerve strain, more intelligence and at
last more compensation; because, if an
incumbent gives largely even unreason-
ably as he does now and then, of his
time that he used to partially devote to
personal interests at his home or on
his farm, where loss is sure to occur
if he does not this time that he now
must give to his office or business,
should be on the credit side of his day
book.
These thoughts have occurred to US
from our own Individual experience in
a modern private business that means
no more, financially than it did ten
years ago when the unremitting press
and demand were not so great, but it
does mean the sacrifice Of the home
fireside, of active service about the
home in its up-keep and maintenance;
of desirable service in other affairs
than in ones own profession, etc.
No wonder men and women, con-
scientious in the discharge of duties for
the public or in their private profess
sions feel as they concentrate more and
more upon the duties demanded they
should be compensated for their giving
of their own selves to a manifold SER
vice that spares them not.
And does not such service reflect Gre
dit upon communities as well as the in
dividual and must it not mean in it's
last analysis the keeping up of the
standards of high civilization? The val
ue is inestimable.
A conscientious and faithful servant
of the people or of a profession can
never be fully rewarded in dollars and
cents.
but how many can you find who can
measure up to the full standard of
faithfulness and efficiency" asks an in
quirer who, in the rush. interrupted our
train of thought.
WELL how many?" we answered.
