The Kosciusko Whippets will de-
fend the title they have annexed

fact that the school did not enter

Through

Eyes
BY
Hazel Brannon

Mississippi's method of ~inflicting
the death penalty will be changed
from hanging on the gallows to cleo
trocution.
The Senate has approved the bill
passed by the house for the pur-
chase OF a portable electric chair
and the employment of an off,cia!
executioner al a fee Of 800 pei
death. The chair, according to the
bin passed will be moved about the
state with the executions continuing
70 be made In the counties In which
the crimes are committed. unleS
otherwise ordered by the governor.
1t Is probable that the governor
will order the ~eiectrocution otherwise.
certainly the prospect Of takang .
portable electric chair around the
state for criminals to sit in Is
nothing short Of ridiculous. The
chair should be taken to Parchman
and kept there.

Sardis dam.
When he does everybody In Mis-.
sissippi will be there to hear him,
aside from being President o. the
United States the Roosevelt smile and
personality will draw q full house any
day in the week.
Senators Harrison and Bilbo and
Congressman Wilmington have also
said they would be present az this
big affair in Sardia
"a bill to remove the authority
OF State Tax Commission Chairman
All Stone, has been introduced In the
Senate.
The bill seeks to shift the chair
mans authority TO name employees.
with consent Of the governor. to the
commission. The commission will
soon consist Of the chairman ant
two members appointed to replace
two whose terms have expired. Nj
Stone, appointed by Governor White,
will be in office until 1914, when his
term expires.
1t seems that the Senate could
spend its time to much greater ad.
vantage than monkeying with the
State Tax Commission. This group
Is doing a good job and should be
left alone.
Our legislators seem to forget the
main thing desired in public office
Is service and efficiency along with
honest administration. All Stone is
giving just that.
Ut does look like petty politics
could be kept out of one Office in
jackson at least.
