neapolis Public Welfare Board for
what he said would be an "exhaus-
tive inquiry" into the case of A.

(City) Hospital physicians to admit
it Monday night.

County coroner, said the infant died
of laryngeal-tracheal bronchitis. He
said an inquiry by his Office dis
closed that physicians at the hos
pital had administered penicillin in
jections and taken. X-rays of the
baby for a pneumonia check but
had found no traces Of that disease
Monday night.
DR.. Helm said the child had been
under treatment Tor a respiratory
ailment since December 20 and that
the doctors "had acted in good faith
in their handling Of the case" He
added that the physicians had asked
the parents to bring the child back
to the clinic yesterday morning.
Instead, Mr.. Sims said the Jen-
sens told him they had come to the
mayors Office to get slip so we
won't have to stand in line at the
clinic" The coroner reported the
baby stopped breathing while lying
on desk in the mayors reception
room and was pronounced dead on
arrival at General Hospital two

Defeat This Bill

presidential elections, for nc matter who
they gave a majority to, nor no matter how
large the majority, it could be completely
nullified, and Mississippi's vote given to any
candidate the electors might favor.
The same political trick was tried in 1914,
and resulted in a pink" ballot being voted
for those electors who obligated themselves
to follow the popular vote in the state, and
a white, ballot for that set of electors who
had announced that they would vote as they
pleased, meaning in this instance for Sena-
tor Harry F. Byrd of Virginia as opposed to
Franklin D. Roosevelt. The result in Jackson
county was that the pink" ballot Demo-
Gratis voted a total of 1855, against a total
of 1T for the white ballot electors who
planned to ignore the wishes of the majority
of the voters.
The intent of the electoral college, estab-
lished through tradition and use, is that it
reflects the will of the voters. Any argu-
ments to the contrary are ridiculous. Com
mon honesty and decency require the cleo
tors of Mississippi to vote as the majority
wish them to, and if they are not we may
as well abolish our elections, let groups die
tators in each state name our national pres
ident and, to make the cycle complete, let
them name state, county and municipal Of
fieials as well.

House Bill No.. 1874 offered this week at
jackson by Representative Black of Carroll
county attempts to do what the anti-New
Deal controlled Democratic state convention
failed to do in 1914 nullify and set aside
the will Of the voters in Mississippi and set
up the states presidential electors as indi-
vidual autocrats with power to ignore popu-
lar vote and cast their electoral ballots for
whatever candidate they please, be the cam
didate in question Republican, Democratic,
Communist, Socialist or mug-wump.
The bill is vicious and. no matter what the
quarrel of Mississippians with Northern
Democrats, should be opposed at once by any
legislator interested in maintaining the ele-
mental principles of a Democratic govern
ment in his state.
The bill specifically sets forth that no
'~'elector shall be legally obliged or obligated
to cast his vote for any person for president
or for vice-president of the United States by
reason of any present or previous party affili-
alton or pledge and then adds that said
elector shall not be subject to party or gov
penalty for his action.
In plain terms the bill would mean that
in the election this year voters of the state
would be wasting their time going to the
polls to vote in the presidential and vice

The Parole Racket

ported in the investigation was to arouse the
children at $3.50 a. m, work them in the fields
or at other tasks until breakfast. They report
ed to classrooms at seven, and stayed until
1890. From 1890 to 1870 was rest and eating
period, and from 100 to $50 it was again
labor in the fields. Then supper and imme-
diately to study halls until $3.50 p. m. when
they were put to bed.
Many of the boys and girls are at the school
through no error of their own commission.
Many whose families could not support them
were placed in the reform school because
there was no other place for them to go.
Abuses were also reported in the sale and
use Of the institutions property.
In a 1OO-page report the state Association
on Crime and Delinquency asks that some
means be devised for taking the administra-
ton of this institution permanently out of
political spoils system.
Complete divorcing of state functions of
this nature from politics is the first essen
tial of the cure, and the second is adequate
pay for trained personnel. Until we have
these, periodic exposes and cleanups will
come and go but the basic conditions, which
should be the shame of a civilized state, will
continue.
