GANCE AND KINGS, OR ECONOMY
AND THE COMMON PEOPLE?
A FRONT PAGE EDITORIAL.

/ lectible from fines and penalties as
sessed, will do if adopted two things
1. 1t will make the office what Ii
should be, simply the channel through
which Mississippi collects what is due
her.
2. 1t will turn into the treasury
of the State approximately $25,OOO
the year WHICH BELONGS TO THE
STATE TAXPAYERS and divert it
from the pocket of whoever happens
to hold the office, to the State instl-
tutions, who need more and more
money to carry out the great pro-
gram of work they are now doing to
the everlasting benefit of the people
and the State.
The State of Mississippi has plenty
of citizens who will perform the work
OF the state revenue agent for 5000
me year. There is no reason on earth
why the taxpayers of Mississippi
should be bereft of $4,000 annually
to subsidize some citizen of the State
to perform this service.
Eleven thousand signatures were
quickly secured, being in excess of
the required $500, to place the prop
osition on the ballot, after political
influence had been found strong
enough to prevent the legislature
from passing this measure of econ
omy. 1t is but fair test of the
thought of the state upon the subject.
The defeat of the effort through
some quirk of the law, while reflect
ing in no wise upon judicial admins
tration, which is restricted by the law
as it is written, would be forcing a
tribute upon the taxpayers of the
State, forcing them to pay out an un-
conscionably high figure for return
which is no more valuable to the State
than is rendered by other public Off
cials who do not enjoy what is the
sort of perquisite which is popularity
supposed to be un-American and a
relic of old days in England when
perquisites at the expense of the peo-
royalty for rewarding favorites, an
inexpensive method to royalty, but
hard on the common people.
The state revenue agent has been
making a hard and consistant fight to
protect his enormous perquisite. He
endeavored to have sufficient petit
tions withdrawn to make the number
inadequate, but was prevented by a
legal opinion. Nothing daunted, he
thereupon has sought in the courts to
make the matter of his huge stipend
and it's possible pairing down to pro-
5portionate size a matter of constltu-
tionality. One is led to remark that
$4,000 a year compensation to one
public servant is quite sufficient to
be of constitu tional magnitude if it
were not unthinkable that the constl-
tuition is so loosely framed as that it
cannot prevent one single official
from getting $4,000 year from the
taxpayers of the State if they think
the service is worth only $4,000.
1t is a simple business proposition.
With every State official on a salary
basis, why should this one be on fee
basis? Is $4,000 year enough for
state revenue agent, and should not
the $4,000 a year difference go to
the taxpayers, already sorely pressed?
Is economy or Mr. Stokes Robert
sons financial independence the ultl-
mately controlling question in the ad-
ministration of and the compensation
for the duties of the office of state
revenue agent?

to the Bay st. Louis Association as
follows:
"The Mississippi State Fair Asso-
citation has offered first and second
prize to the Parent-Teachers' Associ-
alton of this State who will have on
exhibit the best report of work done.
Now you will see that this is not of
fered to the county, or the district,
as whole, but strictly to the lndl-
vidual, which gives all a fair chance
to compete. The first prize is for
$500 the second for $500. Now
please urge association who did any
real splendid work this year make
up your report for the past year just
as you had to make it up for the con-
vention last May, and send this imme-
diately for exhibit. Not for the small
amount that has been offered as
prize, but that we may fully show our
appreciation of the management in
making this offer to have some of our
work on display, and that these re-
ports may be a stimulus to others.
May there be a large number from
which to judge in selecting the best.
"Then please do not forget our
Parent Teacher booth, which will be
in charge of our State exhibit chair
man, Mrs. H. o. Bland, of Jackson.
Send her all articles that would inter
est others. If you have used good
posters or placards in giving pub
licity, or have used the health chart
to advantage, besides the splendid re-
port of work done, be sure to have
this in the hands of Mrs. Bland in
due time that they may be placed in
the booth. And all who are interest
ed in PIT. A. will please look up the
booth and see what is there Of inter
est.
please remember that the names
of the winners in these contests will
be published in the Mississippi PIT.
A. Magazine, as well as in the pa

Mrs. E. J. Leonhard was hostess

MOLLERE-HERLIHY.
Prominent Wedding in Waveland
Tuesday Morning-Nuptial Mass
at ST. Claire's Chapel.

The chapel of st. Claire was the
scene of a very lovely wedding Tues
day morning, October 10, 1922, when
Miss Geneva Herlihy, daughter of
Mrs. L. M. Herlihy, was married to
Mr.. Charles B. Mollere, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Paul Mollere, of Bay st.
Louis, at nuptial mass at 8 a. M,
Rev. Father Costello performing the
ceremony. The sanctuary of the
church was artistically decorated with
a profusion of ferns and lovely flow
ers.
The bride was given away by her
brother, Mr.. George Herlihy. She
looked especially lovely in her ex-
uuisite bridal dress of silk georgette
crepe, beautifully beaded over satin
her long court train fell from her
shoulders and tn veil of illusion was
held by a pretty spray OF orange
blossoms. She wore beautiful pin,
gift of the groom, and carried a
shower bouquet of brides roses and
lilies of the valley.
The brides attendant, Miss Mae
Mauffray wore chic frock of flesh
color crepe de chine and hat to
match; she also carried bouquet OF
flowers.
Mr.. Cornelius Herlihy, brother OF
the bride, acted as best man. Pretty
little Nola Rita Morrere, niece of the
bride, was flower girl. She looke d
angelic in her white lace dress, car
rying a basket of flowers.
Mrs. Olus NJ. Bourgeois played the
wedding march and lie Prophet as
the occasional. Choice selections
were played during the ceremony by
her sister, Mrs. Dan Chadwick. The
ceremony was very impressive one.
An informal reception followed at the
brides home.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mollere left on a
bridal trip and will make their home
in New Orleans. Both families are
prominently known in the social
world. They were greeted at the
depot by number of friends, who
showered them with all sorts of ar
ticles of good luck, and the ground
was thick with the proverbial rice.

chiffoneer full of glad rags & a
sword & lotta chow to last the trip;
he slows it in three ships & hires him
a lotta sailor guys for the trip, who
he tells he's gointa fnda new pass
(you see 7 & II wasn't known as
passes them.
So they made it a holiday down on
the dock when Chris was ready to
beat it; the Kink & Queen & bull
lighters jazz band goes down & bids
him ohve-oil on his trip. Havin'
lotta chili-con-carnie & spaghetti,
everybody was to the merry.
At first it all went fine, but soon the
crowd gotta thinkin' that maybe
Chris was tryin'to double-cross 'em
the high seas, & let him know they
was hep to him. Them sailors got
awful beefy about it & Cap. Chris
hadta pull out a coupla smokepoles
& his sword on 'em; after he knocked
a coupla guys for row of jugs, they
let up on him. They was just abouta
get his goat when some guy what was
roostin' on top the mast yells out
that he sees land, then all them ginks
loses they want to kill Chris, & they
goes ashore; there they meets lotta
Choctaws what was all painted up
celebratin' the 4th Of July or some
thin
Chris ups & tells them birds that
they all belong to Ferd & Bella &
him, but they don't savvy his lingo;
SO they shakes hands & makes friends
& on acct. Chris not fallin' for the
name of the land, he ups & calls 1t
name of his own.
That day was the II of Oct. &
they been celebratin' it ever since.
but some guys double-crossed poor
old Chris & he died in the cooler over
in the bull fighters country.
1t tooka long time to find out that
he had been double-crossed, & that's
the reason they all make sucha big
howdydo over him now, as if that's
doin' him any good. Anyhow, We'll
all take og our Kellies to Chris as
bein' the ooziest guy of his time. |
thank you.
AS | went to the station,
By the path of my choice;

By a wee and strange voice.
1t was from brown cottage,
That stands near the street.;
Twas the voice of baby
That halted my feet.

"You haven't met the new Gex"

To show how / feel;

EVIDENCE CLOSED IN RY. CASE
Argument of Attorney in M.. D. X q
 Controversy Starts Tuesday.

Little oRck, Oct. 14.-Testimony ot opponents to the abandonment of the Hot Springs -Glenwood branch of the old Memphis, Dallas and Gulf railroad was closed yesterday before the Ar kansas Railroad Commission, and oral argument of the attorneys will be heard Tuesday.
 When the road was sold at receiver S sale in St. Louis last summer, Louis Heilbron of TeXarkana purchased the Hot Springs -Glenwood branch. The read was sold in several sections and when the matter of abandoning parts of it were first suggested, the commls- sion ordered all purchasers before the commission to show cause why the en- tire road should not be operated. When the hearing convened Thursday, MT. Heilbron's petition for permission to abandon was substituted for the origi- nal subject. The petition is being op- posed by citizens of Hot Springs, Cad Go Gap and Glenwood, and each side is represented by counsel.

e.{i- aNdmar, NNere Thaf Tree"

The dicipIes Of the old sentiment expressed by he poet, 'Woodman, spare that tree, touch not a single bough, in youth it protected me and I'll protect it now" happened along too late 10 iptJyene in behalf of certain beautiful shade trees ill the court square this week. What the woodman did to that magnificent wa:eroak on the south siae of the building this week was an awful plenty It's naked arms are stretch ed to heaven in protest, but too late. Judge McCord ordered the trees trim med to protect the reef, but was not present when the work was done, but was notified by county officers in time perhaps to save other trees from a like fate, but too late to prevent what had already happened.
