The
STATE CAPITAL

The secretary of state expects the
printer to have the laws Of 1922
ready at an early date, when he
will send them to every public Of
ficer in Mississippi, and all Others
who are entitled to receive them
1t is not known when the journaIs
OF the house and senate will be
ready. They are understood to be
quite voluminous, and it seems to
be taking more time to print them
than it has to print the laws. Many
inquiries are reported to be made
for the legislative journals by candi-
dates, as they contain the yea and
nay votes ON all important legisla-
tive matters and many of these
votes, especially on trust and com
bine, and the unsuccessful attempt to
abolish the state revenue agents Of
flee, are said to be issues in con
gressional, senatorial and judicial
races.

The State treasury is empty again,
the million dollars received by recent
sale of bonds, according to Treasurer
Murray, having been spent. Treas
uIer Murray states that unless an
other bond issue is made all state
employees and others to whom state
warrants are issued will have to
hypothecate the same, or hold them
until there is money in the treasury.
Unless other bonds are sold there
will be very little money in the
treasury until tax paying time next
December when tax collectors settle
with the auditor. Authority to al
low the state bonding commission to
sell bonds was granted by a majority
vote of the legislature when 1t re-
duced the tax levy from to 8 mills.
Widely published corrections Of err
roneous statements that the senator
ial, congressional and judicial pri-
maries will not be held on the
same day have been made. These
primaries are fixed by law and not
by executive committee and all take
place on August Is. In 1914 the law
which authorized the state executive
committee to hold senatorial pri-
marfes was changed, and provides
that the congressional executive COM
mittees of the eight districts shall
also hold the primaries for United
States senator, and make their re-
turns to secretary of state of the
result the same as they do for con

Visitors to the capital bring the
word that trust and combines and
the adjustment of the office OF
state revenue agent which absorbed
much of the time of the recent Legis-
lature-an effort being made to re-
peal the trust and combine laws and
to abolish the office of state revenue
agent both of which failed-is to be
a principle issue for the campaign
for governor and members OF the
legislature next year, and that these
matters are being brought to the front
in the primary campaign for various
offices this year. The revenue agents
office has been unsuccess6ully attak
ed since it was created some forty
years ago.

say that Biso will be an excellent rep
resentative of this typical North
American species whose once mighty
herds roamed the great plains from
Mexico to northern Canada.
In 1907 10 bison We're planted in
the Wichita national forest and have
since increased to over $50 head.
This herd promises to maintain the
type and stamina of the original bison,
since the animals are kept at all times
under natural conditions. They sub
sist entirely on wild grasses and live
within so large an Enclosure that they
are under practically no restraint.
So Biso has been well content and
is reluctant to leave. Yet many OF
the younger buffalo bulls are casting
envious glances ut the old fellow. 1t
would be very pleasant, they think,
to doze idly beneath a palm tree and
be served with fresh cut grasses or
have their wrinkled noses patted by
some dark-haired senorita.

Open Coffin for Visitors.
The remains of Columbus were
brought to Santo Domingo from Spain
in 1910, the report says, adding that it
has been the practice lately to open
the casket and permit high dignitaries
or distinguished visitors to the island
republic to handle personally some Of
the bone fragments.
This happened upon the occasion of
visit by Secretary of War Stimson
and party In 1911, also the year fol-
lowing, when Secretary Knox and nu-
merous parties made their ceremonial
trip around the Caribbean Circle" the
report says. The writer was present
upon both occasions and admits, but
not without some self-reproach, that
he, too, handled some of the bone
fragments.

tinues, (which first suggested the idea
that it should be the concern of Pan

Though still a young man Che is

modelling with rapidity which is con-
trary to the custom of many modern
sculptors. His quickest bit of work

visiting friends studio 1t happened
to be his last day In Paris and he had
called in to say good-by to a fellow
sculptor. He had only twenty minutes
to spare. Seated in a corner, in an
easy chair, was Leo Textonius, the
American pianist, who had often
asked Sciortino to make a model of his
head. Sciortino took up a piece of clay
and in little more than fifteen minutes
had modelled mask of the pianist.
This mask was hanging in the Amer
lean artists studio when Rodin paid
visit there. ROdin was enthusiastic at
the originality of the work
The winning of the competition in
1914, offered by the Duma committee
of Kieff, was not only personal, but
an international success, as 300 sculp-

years. Three times Sciortino COM

decision of the committee caused great
indignation throughout Russia.
The committee then decided to hold
a referendum. All the prominent men
and women of Russia were asked to
view the model and decide whether
the Russian models were equal to that
of the British sculptor They unani-
mously held that the statue chosen
was best of all the other 200. This
referendum was taken carefully. The
written opinions were placed in sealed
envelopes, in sealed box and only
opened after all had finished voting.
The occupation of the city in Mos
COW by the Bolsheyists prevented the
statue ever being erected and the
final award was never given to the
sculptor. Now an effort is being made
by the committee to collect subscrip-
ton for The purpose of erecting the

Sculptor Outlines Most Preten-

TONS will be opened in Rome in the
fall, and the model, as we'll as thou
sands Of sketches and plans, Is to be
on view in his studio at the British
academy. This monument is one Of
the most pretentious ever planned In
modern times. In conception it can be
compared only to the wonderful
basilica of Imperial Rome.
1t was in 1917 that Professor Scior-
tino, bordering over the war in which
millions of soldiers were killed, planned
monument which would be u fitting
one for the heroic dead, as well as q
museum and temple combined. His
original idea was that 1t should be an
international monument, one which
could be erected on some historic spot,
on battlefield. He suggested to many
friends that, while the bones scattered
over many battlef1elds could be in
tered in the walls Of the crypt, one
central tomb should be memorial for
all, whether privates or officers. On
the sketches which he made in 1917
he wrote: s'Plans for a monument to
an unknown soldier and sailor" 1t
was his idea that millions should con-
slider that tomb the resting place of
their own lost ones.
