POSTAL IMPROVEMENT
week IS OBSERVED
May I Sees Inaugurated First
General Campaign of
Kind in Service.

without the Postal Service, business
would languish In day. and be at a
standstill In a week. Public opinion
would die of dry rot. Sectional hatred
or prejudice only would flourish, and
narrow-mlndednes thrive.
1t is the biggest distinctive business
In the world and 1t comes nearer to the
lnnermost interests of greater num-
Der of men and women than any other
institution on earth. No private bust
ness. however widespread, touches so
many lives so often or sharply; no
church reaches into So many souls.
fiutters so many pulses, has so many
human beings dependent on its min
istrations.
POSTAL Improvement Week" has
been set for May /, by the Postmaster
General. This Is the first general cam
pafgn of Its kind In the Postal Service
for several decades. Business men
and their organizations. large users of
the mail, newspapers, motion pictures,
advertisers. and the entire organiza-
ton Of $4,000 postal workers are to be
enlisted in this countrywide campaign
Of interest In postal improvements.
Your help 10 vital. Address your let
tiers plainly with pen or typewriter.
Give street address, Spell out name
of State, don't abbrevlate. Put your
return address In the upper left hand
corner Of envelope mot on the back)
and always lock at your letter before
dropping In the mall to see II It is
properly addressed. This care In the
use of the mails Is for your benefit and
speeds up the dispatch and delivery
Of mail matter.
II you have any complaints Of poor
service make them to your postmaster.
He has instructions to investigate them
and report to the department.

Thinks The Session Might Correctly Be
Termed A Disappointment.

Carthage Carthagenian.
The legislature has adjourned
The body was in session three months
and nearly 1900 bills were intro
duced. The session was stormy
one but very little was accomplished
The session might correctly be term
ed disappointment. A great deal
was expected; very little was done,
Possibly too much was expected. 1t
should be remembered that legis-
lation can not cure all ills. Entire
ly too much do the people Of these
United States look to their national
and state lawmaking bodies for
help. The complaint is made that
no constructive legislation was ac-
complshed Destruction not con-
struclion was the demand, aud the
res ponse along this line was not SO
great as the early days of the session
indicated. 1t was session of the
legislature; that's all.
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1922-04-28

One act of the legislature which
is receiving considerable appreciation
is that which strengthened or sought
to strengthen the prohibition law by
adding Jail sentence to the penalty
for having intoxicating liquor in
possession" and making it beyond
the power OF the magistrate or judge
to suspend the days imposed. II
this does not prove too drastic it
would argue powerfully as convin-
Ger to the bootleggers and shiny
peddlers that the time has about ar
rived when staying in Jail or wear
ing stripes and doing time on the
roads, will run hard in hand with
81 cir outlawed traffic.

WITHOUT STREET ADDRESS
YOUR MAJ IS DELAYED
AT OFFICE OF DELIVERY

The Dead Letter Office has been in
existence ever since Ben Franklin
started our postal service. Even then
people addressed mail to Mr.. Ezekiel
Smithers. Atlantic Coast" and ex-
pected Ben to know just where Zeke
lived.
Perhaps they had Zekes address in
letters nr in the garnet, maybe chest
full of 'em, but then 1t was easier to
let Ben hunt Zeke. Today people are
addressing letters to John Smith, New
York, N. Y, or Chicago, ILL.,, thinking
Uncle Sam can locate him. which is
just as incomplete as was Zekes ad-
dress of yore. The Postoffice Depart
ment asks you to put the number and
street in the address. 1t helps you.

EVEN MONEY SOMETIMES FAILS

IN speaking to Sheriff Webb Wal.
ley about his case, after he was
brought to the Jail in Leakesville for
execution, Nance Kelley made this
statement: II have always heard
money would get anyone out OF any
thing, but this is one time when it
failed. This statement is rather a
heavy hit on those whose who have
tried to embarrass Gov Russell's
administration as we'll as the Pardon
Board, by alleging all kinds Of
things with reference to giving OF
clemency. Kelly threw out charge
q one of his letters that he got on
the wrong side Of politics to get a
pardon or reduction of sentence. If
that we're so that would be u matter
If using influence instead of money
rne field was open to him and his
to employ whom they pleased and if
influence would have got him freed
Or at least have saved his life, it
looks rather unfortunate for them
that they used the character Of
judgement which tailed to land for
DIN. The man is dead and gone to
meet the deeds done ia the flesh and
none can answer back at what he
left as that's closed and would be
one. sided. However, we are con-
vinced that Kelly, last act argues
IN way that will not be forgotten
rs to whether the law and its officers
mad dealt fair with him or not. We
near much expression on this point
which being a tender one to his PEG
ole we will not dwell upon or bring
nut further.

Believes Legislature Had Little Con-
Structive Work 10 Its Credit.

WinOna Times.
The Legislature of Mississippi has
adjourned The members have re-
turned TO their homes. Now the
question arises, What has the ses
sion accomplished? What have the
members to report to their con-
stituencies? A retrospective glance
induces us to believe each member
Will say we have accomplished little
or nothing that. will advance the
interest and welfare of the man be-
hind the plow, who is the main
spring of progressi veness and pros
perlty. AS constructive Iaw-maS-
body the Leg stature was dismal
failure. There was too much fac
tionalism permeating the body from
start to finish. No legislation was
viewed from a broad minded stand
point, but from factional spirit of
how this or that would affect this or
that faction, and the end came with
not one piece of cons tructive legisla-
ton being placed on our law books.
There were some able and strong
men in the Legislature, but they
we're unable to organize the body in
to cooperating, far-seeing, broad
minded force.

Believes il No Use to Enumerate Fully
fakes and Mistakes of legislature.

Bonneville Advocate.
The Mississippl Legislature has
adjourned and gone home. This
Legislature will be remembered as
one that did more talking and ac-
compisIed less in the way of con-
,tructive legislation than any of it's
predecessors. There were some
good men ia both houses. but they
we're 50 hopelessly in the minority
they could do nothing. Some of the
members went to Jackson with the
determination to reduce the tax levy;
cut down salaries and in every pos
sible way curtail expenses IN order to
Tighten the burden of taxation upon
the people; but when they arrived
there and looked over the situation
il was found that it would require
as much, or more, money to run the
state government the next two years
as it did the past two years. So
nothing was done along that line.
There we're other members who went
there to destroy the office OF revenue
agent and wipe the antitrust laws
from the statute books Thev also
failed in that, but they did appro-
pirate $685. for Ex-Governor of
Arkansas and a saddle coored negro

Winston Co. Journal.
The legislature adjourned last Sat
urday, having been in session three
months, during which time 1t APP
propriated nearly twenty million
dollars, reduced the State levy one
mill and gave the Bond Commission
ers permission to borrow one and a
half million dollars if needed. That
is latter day financing, and latter
day financing by officials needs no
comment SO, little fishes can get
busy for next winters taxpaying.

After a Legislature has finished

After a Legislature has finished a
session its in order for newspapers
and public men to make criticism by
way Of resume, and such criticism to
be kind and fair should recognize
and commend the wise constructive
pieces OF legislation as we'll as de-
nounce that which is believed will
prove either hurtful or ineffective.
In line with this this paper shall
speak its sentiments as well as re
produce from other newspapers of
the STATE, comment on what the law
makers accomplished; failed to ac-
complish, etcetera

"There is no unimportant person or

human units and their cooperation is
the key to its success. In It's last
analysis. postal duties are aceommo-

and friends and should be so regarded,
rather than as hired service per-
formed for an absentee employer. -

Guess those who were criticizing
the Mississippi Levee Commission

those farciful Investigations dur

an older and cheaper figure to avert

The Mississippi river is on great
rampage. We heard an old citizen
say she other day going over on a
train to see it at Vicksburg, that he
had been seeing it over fifty years
and there was more water than he
had ever seen before. When the
gauge shows above 40 feet. it's con-
sidered big food. but think of it
showing above 80 feet at Natchez a
few days ago. The crest of the tide
has now rolled into Mississippi and
will soon work on down to New Or
