NEWS AND VIEWS FROM

Contrary to general expectations, the
impression being that many incum-

the capital state that the competition
for judicial honors in almost every dis.
trict in Mississippi has become quite
animated. There are II judges and II
chancellors to be nominated in the

Members Of the legislature seem to
be anxious, as is also the general pub
lie. to see the journal of the house and
senate of the Mississippi legislature Of
1922. These journals contain the yea"
and may" vote of all impaired or alb.
sent members on every bill and reso-
luton passed or adopted by the recent
legislature. Already candidates for va
rious places are appearing among
them, members of the legislature, and
their opponents seem to be anxious to
get the record made by them as legis.
lators, to further their campaigns; and
members of the legislature, who claim
that they are being enormously criti.
cised, are also eager to have the rec.
ords which will speak for themselves.
George B. Power, clerk of the house
OF representatives, states that the
journals have gone to the printer, and
just as soon as they appear In book
form, will be available to officials and
the public.

The law requiring boards Of super.

men of towns and villages to prepare
for publication an annual budget OF
county, town and village revenue and
expenditures, classifying the towns
and villages, and requiring chancery
clerks and clerks of municipalities to
keep regular set of books showing re.
ceipts and expenditures, and to impose
spantles for violations of the law, is
causing much inquiry here at the state
capital, for the full text of the law.
This is an innovation, and the purpose
OF the law seems to be to allow the
people to vote down, after petition,
any item in any budget that a county
or municipality may propose.

London Letter

LONDON. July 2.-oCable Letter. y
Chief Justice Taft is the only American
visitor to England In the last few years
who has rivalled AdmiunH Sims in popu-
larity with the British public. To those
who knew Mr.. Taft In his presidential
years he proved disappointment in the
point Of physical dimensions, but to those
who met him for the first time he was a
delightful surprise. His unfailing good
humor. genial smile and unassuming ways
are quite distinct from, the mental pic
ture the average Englshman carries of
one occupying a high judicial rank
Lord Birkenhead, Brdtain's youngest
Lord Chancellor, being a recent excep-
ton.
Names Play ARer Taft.
The word "chuckle" has been more
commonly heard and seen In England
since Mr.. Taft's advent, as the reporters
aver this is the only term adequately de-
scriptive of the jovial noises with which
the chief justice gives his auditors warn
ing that he is on the verge of telling an
other anecdote. A theatrical manager,
sensing the words enhanced value, has
brought out show entitled "Chuckles."
Reward Contributors.

has provoked criticism Of the high titles
given to men who have no apparent
claim to them except their great wealth,
