Who is Footing the Bill?

One Ex-GOv. BrOugh. a citizen of
Arkansas. il campaigning the State
of Mississippi in the interest of the
big trusts and combines, advocating
the repeal Of our antitrust laws.
Now we cannot imagine that this
gentleman is so interested in the
welfare" of the Magnolia State as
to desert his own native state to
campaign. travel and make speeches
appealing to our people to surrender
their rights and liberties to the
trusts and combines at his own ex-
pense.
Who is footing the bill
If Mr.. Brough ia so generous as
To sacrifice his valuable time to our
people we believe that there are
other branches of educational work
which would be far more benefit to
our people than the particular
branch in which he is engaged.
Mr. Brough is fine speaker, an
entertainer: he is learned man and
capable of doing missionary work;
but we do not feel hattered to have
a man coming from our sister state
for the purpose of teaching doc
trine which is contrary to the prin-
ciples taught by Jefferson. Bill Nye
and Sam Jones.
We do not question Mr.. Brough's
purpose. nor his sincereness, but it
looks like misplaced energy, a waste
of time and money-unless the bills
are being footed by those whose in
terests he Is representing.
Some of our antitrust laws may
be drastic and hard on the trusts,
but in the language of the Prentiss
County Advocate: We are not in
favor of repeating them and thereby
turn the State over to the very in
terests which inspired their pas
sage. "-Oxford Eagle.

If all the nations big business were

Work on Aberdeen and Net
Teton Highway Begins Soon

Forty thousand dollars of Fourth
district and $4,000 of Fifth district
road bonds, offered for sale last
Monday, were bought by the First
National Bank of this city. The
bonds brought 102 II and 103 per
cent respectively. The proceeds will
be used in the construction of gravel
and concrete road from Aberdeen
to Nettleton. When this road has
been completed, it will supply
link connecting the Bankhead High
way at Tupelo with the Jackson
Highway at Columbus. and will
be a part of the Mississippi High
way that ultimately will form a con-
tinuous roadway from the Great
Lakes to the Gulf coast region.
Work on this link will begin as
soon as practicable. Clay, gravel
and concrete will be used in the
construction of the road.
$180,0O0,O0 is available for this
road, OF this sum, the United
States government will furnish 500
600, or one half of any amount that
may be used in its construction,
Supervisor Roberts, of the 9Th dis
trict. who has associated supervis-
ion of Is miles of the link that
trayerses the 9Th district, stated
that between one and a half and
two miles of the road which runs
through Town Creek bottom will be
constructed of concrete. The bal
ance, except one half mile in the
4th district, in Matubba Greek bot
ton also be of concrete, will be of
clay and gravel. No road that has
ever been constructed in Monroe
county will be so fruitful of bene-
fits to Aberdeen. Columbus and
Nettleton and the territory along its
route, as this road will be when it
has been completed.

New Banking Law.

The governor has approved the

ent of banking. This bill is drastic
departure from the banking laws in
force since 1914. AT that time three
bank examiners were provided for
and empowered with the supervision
of banks under the act of 1914
These examiners under the bill just
approved by the governor superced-
ed by a superintendent of banking
who is to be supreme in authority
and solely responsible for the ad-
ministration of the banking laws
and the examination and regulation
of banks. The terms of the present
bank examiners which expire in
1924, are unaffected by the pres.
ent law, which does not go into ef-

A Necessary Reform.

The State constitution ought to
be changed so that no bill. resolu-
ton or other matter could be intro
duced until revenue and appropria-
ton bills are passed.
Such change would prevent such
condition of affairs as now exist
in the Legislature.
Legislators fresh from the people
could attend to the peoples bust
ness first, uninfuenced by extrane-
Gus anG deleterious matters, and
better results along all lines would
be had.
Think of state officers. the Judi
ciary, all employees of the state be-
ing without money three months af-
ter a meeting of the gislature-in
the dark as to what their salaries
are to be-and in many instances
because of not knowing what they
are to be paid. unable to negotiate
loans at banks or with which to

priation bills have not yet been

A Great Educator Dead.

The death of DR.. J. r. Preston.
whose serious illness has already
been referred to in the press, which
occurred Monday in Jackson, has
saddened thousands of Mississippi
plans from the center to the circum-
ference of the state. and none more
than the editor of this paper who
remembers DR.. Preston as his teach
and preceptor in the seventies, when
be first cast his fortunes in Missis-
sippi in charge of the boys high
school at Okolona, Miss. In retro
spection of those halcyon days of
our boyhoOd, we attest the inspira-
tional spirit infused by Dr. Preston
that characterized his work with all
students under his charge. A great
and good educator has passed from
earth. and those who sat at his feet,
as did Paul at the feet of Gamaliel,
will long reverence him in their
memories. DR.. Preston was for 10
years the state superintendent of ed
ucatiOn of Mississippi, and his splen-
did work still remains part of the
educational system and structure of
this commonwealth, and other states
have profted by it. DIR. Preston
was later president of Belhaven col
lege of Jackson, Miss.
