THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER Gov. Geo. H. Hodges Comes of the Best Blood of the Land, and is Too Manly and Humane to Sign Any Black Law! GOV. HODGES' MESSAGE SOUNDS LIKE LINCOLN! First Democratic Governor in Thirty Years Wins Applause of ALL of the People. Fifteenth Year. No. 3. Gov. Geo. H. Hodges GOV. HODGES' SOUNDS First Democratic G Years Wins A ALL of th Inaugural Address and Every Utterance is a Plea for That Which Brings Happiness and Prosperity---Declares Against Jim Crow. The people of Kansas are now living under a Democratic administration, which has started at a gait, which if kept up, will prove beneficial to each and every one of her citizens. Gov. Geo. H. Hodges is the right man in the right place and his inaugural address and message to the legislature shows that he has the right intentions to do what is best for all citizens of this great commonwealth. We feel confident that his appointments are and will be the best and that he will select men that can be relied upon to carry out his wishes. Mr. Hodges has an excellent family and they have now taken up their abode in the mansion and all citizens of Kansas are proud of his devoted, intellectual and Christian wife, who is the first lady of Kansas. Her interview and conversation has the right effect and her influence will be felt in the home of every mother, because she has nothing but the purest and loftiest ideas, which will be an inspiration to the humblest as well as the highest. She brought along her colored cook, who is treated as kind and receives as much consideration as other members of the household. It can be safely said that the Hodges family will set a pace for all Kansans to follow and there will be no frills or real tape about them and everybody will be treated alike and will be shown great appreciation for the honor that has been conferred upon them and their interest will not be with the classes but with the masses. Goy, Hodges mother, one of those grand old ladies, will reside with them, and inaugural day she was the happiest and proudest woman in all Kansas, and why not? She has given to Kansas and the nation a son who will ever adhere to her noble teachings and contribute to the happiness and comfort of all the people. She is a woman who has bravely faced every storm of the early Kansan, and to see her son elevated to the highest position in the gift of the stae she has assisted in building, is indeed, a happy realization of a dream that she longed to see come true. There were thousands of people in Topeka last Monday to attend the inauguration of the new Governor. In the grand parade that preceded the inauguration, there were three bands, one regiment of infantry, one of artillery, a number of commissioned officers and a long line of citizens. The band from the University of Kansas and also the one from the State Agricultural college and one of the military bands, led the parade. Carnage carrying the state officials followed and then the citizens. They formed at the Throop hotel and marched to the state house where the ceremonies were held. Hon. I. M. Penwell was the master of ceremonies. He is a dignified, unassuming gentleman, and seemed to be master of the situation, and well fitted for the occasion. The representative hall was very beautifully decorated with palms, evergreen, state and strips. The capacious State House was a scene of merriment and livelihood and it was filled with spectators from dome to basement. There were thousands of people, who could not get near the entrance, Gov. W. R. Stubbs gave his petting speech and gave an account of his governorship during the last four years, which was received with great applause. Gov. Hodges fol- --- lowed and gave an account of what he intended. Great demonstration and applause was given him when he received the oath of office. In the evening a reception was tendered the state officials in the rotunda of the State House. The commissioned officers of the Kansas State militia were in charge of the reception. Gov. Hodges, in his message to the Legislature, showed his attitude on the Negro question by stating that he was opposed to Jim Crow legislation in Kansas, and has asked that the legislature refrain from enacting any such law. We hope that the Democratic Governors of the Southern states will take heed and will travel in the path of their Democratic brothers in the North, especially Gov. Hodges, who is not only endeavoring to benefit his party but all parties. We cannot recall a time in these recent years when a Governor stated that he approves of a law that governs everybody alike and asks that no such law be introduced to be made for any particular race or races, and there is no reason for such legislation against the Negro for he is a citizen and deserves the same rights in other citizens. Gov. Hodges can see the injustice the Negro receives when laws of segregation are passed to subjugate and humiliate him, just because his foreparents were slaves and were poor. The colored people of Kansas are very grateful to him for the noble stand he has made for them and shall place him in the class with such men as Abraham Lincoln. What is needed in this country is fearless men, who will speak out boldly for the rights of all men irrespective of race, creed or color. We have been trying to get our Republican Presidents and Governors to speak out against the outrages committed against our people in the Southland and ask for some law to protect them and guarantee their rights, but we have never succeeded. Now here comes a man from the Democratic party, who seems to have the mind of a Lincoln. We pray for the success of his administration and wish him unbounded success. While we adhere to the Republican party we are not unmindful of the good the Democratic party is doing for us and are putting their right men to the front and we see no reason why the colored men should not stick to those in the right, regardless of party. The following is our Governor's message to the legislature: --- Topeka, Kansas, Jan. 14, 1913. Gentlemen of the Legislature: Under and by virtue of the constitution of the state of Kansas it is the duty of the governor to communicate to you such information and to recommend to you such legislation as he may deem proper and expedient touching state affairs. I therefore call your attention to the fact that the Congress of the United States has submitted to the several states an amendment to the federal constitution providing for the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people. I recommend that you promptly ratify the same and authorize the certification of your notification to the Secretary of State of these United States. In conformity with a deep-seated conviction of the Democratic party, I would urge that this Legislature pass a concurrent resolution instructing our senators and requesting our members of the lower branch of Congress to submit a resolution to the Congress of the United States of America, playing for an amendment to our federal constitution, providing for the election of federal judges by a direct vote of the people and for a term period not exceeding six years. I call to your attention the fact that almost every member of this TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING JANUARY 17.1913. Legislature was elected upon a platform pledge to submit to the people of Kansas, for their adoption or rejection, amendments to our constitution providing for the initiative and referendum in matters of legislation and for the recall of unfaithful public officials. These and all other platform pledges on which any member of this Legislature was elected are solemn contracts with the people and should be as sacredly performed as any contract, the performance of which is demanded by law and business honor. I recommend that the amendments be framed in clear and explicit language and in terms which will make them effectively conform to the will of the people. I also recommend that you submit to the people of this state an amendment to the constitution providing for quadrennial election of state and county officers. Our elections are a matter of great expense not only to the public, but to candidates, and in my opinion the public interest will be served by relief Whether disqualification to hold office two successive terms should be added, I leave to your wisdom. I believe in state aid in building roads and bridges, and recommend that an amendment to section 8 of article 11 of the constitution be submitted to the people, which shall read as follows: "The state shall never be a party in carrying on any work of internal improvement, except highways and bridges." In this connection I call your attention to the fact that but three constitutional amendments can be submitted at a general election. I recommend four. The initiative and referendum and the recall amendments are imperatively demanded by the people and pledged by you. What the other amendment submitted shall be I have your wisdom without the expression of choice by me. I call the especial attention of the Democratic members of this legislature to the fact that the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people is a fundamental doctrine of our party. No matter whether you signed statement Number One or not, your personal preference must not stand in the way of your party obligation to cast your vote for the candidate who received a plurality of the votes in the recent election. I therefore urge every Democratic member of this legislature to vote for William H. Thompson for U. S. senator. The complications growing out of the recent election point to the necessity for a change in our election laws. While I adhere to my faith in the system of nominations by primary elections, I feel that our present primary law is unsatisfactory and inadequate. It is cumbersome and expensive. Members of one party, or of no party, may have taken part in the nomination of the candidates of a party with which they have never affiliated. This is wrong, and should be remedied by some sort of registration in which party affiliation is declared a reasonable time in advance of the primary. I also recommend the adoption of the "Massachusetts form of ballot" for which I contended at the last two sessions of the Kansas legislature. This seems an opportune time to make the change, inasmuch as at least 250,000 women, most of whom have never before cast a ballot, will vote at the next general election. This will greatly increase the vote in every precinct, and I recommend that you make provision by law to facilitate the counting of the votes, either by means of a double election board on otherwise It has for years been a matter of complaint in this state that mortgages held by non residents, on property in this state, escaped taxation. To remedy this, the legislatures of 1909 and 1911 passed recording mortgage tax laws, which were vetoed by my distinguished predecessor. I call your attention to the fact that every Republican, progressive and Democrat in this legislature was elected on platforms pledging the enactment of such a law. I therefore recommend that you pass such a law at the earliest moment consistent with orderly proceed. repeal of the present inheritant tax law. Four years ago the legislature passed an enactment that provided for the optional building of rock roads and a self-assessment by the petitioners for the payment of same. There is a limited area where there is need of macadamized roads. This is chiefly in the eastern part of the state, where truck gardner, dairymen and small fruit farmers market their products daily. In such localities a number of roads have been built and the wisdom of the enactment has been apparent. In every instance the land abutting upon the improved roadway has increased in value from three to five times the cost per acre of such road work, thus further justifying the enactment. I call your attention to the report made by the state highway engineer, that about $5,000,000 is spent annually for road work in our state and only a trace of such road work is permanent. Our state needs permanent dirt roads, and an advanced step has been taken the past two years through the influence of the Good Roads Association and the Good Roads Magazine. The matter of development of our public highways is so vital to our state that I cannot too highly recommend this important subject for your further consideration. I am more than pleased that the state at large is awake to the necessity of the erection of rock or concrete bridges, and I congratulate the state that so many permanent bridges of that construction have been erected during the past two years. I call your attention to the fact that addecision of the supreme court has made our grain-inspection laws ineffective. That our farmers and grain men may be given protection in the grading of their grain, and in the matter of weights, I recommend that an effective grain-inspection law be passed. All parties, in then platforms havecha' promised the enactment of certain enumerated laws for the provision of labor and laboring men. I urge you to make good these promises by appropriate legislation. The safeguarding of the lives and health of the men who work in mine, factory or other hazardous employment, the more rigid enforcement of the child-labor law, and an enlargement of the power of the Bureau of Labor and Industry are measures to which I invite your special attention. I recommend to your attention the platform declarations of the *Democratic and Republican parties* in the subject of the state publication of school textbooks, and I advise that you make careful inquiry as to the expense of such undertaking, and also as to whether the state has power to engage in it without an amendment to our fundamental law. If in your wisdom such an enactment would be constitutional, then I recommend that this Legislature make suitable appropriations for the establishment of a state plant to carry on this work in order that the state may be prepared to furnish school textbooks when our contract for common-school textbooks expires four years hence. I strongly favor the state publication of school textbooks, and their distribution by the state at actual cost. In the matter of contingent funds, I recommend that the governor's contingent fund be reduced from $10,000 per annum to $5,000, and that all other official contingent funds be scrutinized by you and reduced to what is reasonably necessary. I recommend, however, that the attorney general be given a contingent fund of $10,000 per annum as his force. I shall hold sheriff, county attorneys, and mayors of cities responsible for the strict enforcement of the prohibitory law in their respective jurisdictions, and I will cooperate with the attorney-general in seeing that they do their duty. I regard money spent in the enforcement of the prohibitory law as a good investment, and I will not be a party to any false economy which might tend to hamper the chief law officer of the state in his efforts to enforce it. provide for a commission to prepare a revision and codification of our laws and present it for the consideration of the Legislature at its next regular session. I would urge that all laws passed by you be drafted in clear, simple language, so definite that they can be readily understood. It is a treavesty on justice that laws are drafted in such an ambiguous manner that they require interpretation by expert lawyers to determine their meaning. I call your attention to the fact that the beds of the Kansas and Arkansas rivers and one-half of the bed of the Missouri river belong to the state, and I recommend that the general survey law be extended over these beds, and the islands therein, with the right of appeal as in other cases, and that the Executive Council be given control of the sand, gravel and other products in the beds of these rivers. These have been some agitation concerning the enactment of a "Jim Crow" law in this state. I can see no reason for the enactment of such a law, and would regret that a bill of that character should even be introduced The depositors' bank guaranty law, now irreversibly a part of our banking system, has given entire satisfaction and created a public confidence in the security of our state banks which it will be the especial care of this administration to foster. Any act which will strengthen this feature of our banking laws will be cheerfully approved by me as governor. From personal knowledge I feel warranted in saying that the National Guard of this state is not excelled in efficiency for field service by the guard of any other state. The regiments are composed of a high-grade body of young men, imbued with zeal and patriotism and efficiently officiated. The young men of this organization are contributing not only of their time but of their individual means to maintain the present high standard of the organization. They should be the pride of the state and are worthy of your legislative consideration. I call your attention to the appropriation made for the tuberculosis sanitarium by the last Legislature. I commend this as an advanced step on the part of the state in look me to the future health of our citizens. It will be a pleasant duty I am sure for the Legislature to appropriate sufficient funds to meet the requirements of this newly founded and what I feel will become a highly commended additional health department of our state. The people of Kansas are looking to this Legislature for relief from the burden of taxation. I have already recommended the recording mortgage tax and the reducing of election expenses by means of quadrennial elections. I now recommend that the office of state accountant be abolished and the work of that office imposed upon the auditor of state, and that he be given an additional assistant for that purpose if necessary. In this manner the state will get just as effective service at a greatly reduced cost. I also recommend that the office of live-stock sanitary commissioner be combined with and made a part of the veterinary department of the State Agricultural College, and that the state veterinary be given such assistance as may be necessary. I believe the work can thus be accomplished with greater efficiency and at a greatly reduced cost to the state. To the same end I recommend that the present Bureau of Labor and Industry, Bureau of Mining Industries and the Free Employment Bureau be abolished and a new Bureau of Labor and Industry created, which shall combine these three activities, with enlarged powers, under a commissioner of Labor and industry to be appointed by the governor, by and with the consent of the senate, until the next general election, at which time and at every general election thereafter and commissioner shall be elected by the people. This will not only promote Price $1.50 Per Year the choice of the head of this department. I recommend that you scrutinize the necessity for inspectors in the various departments and allow only such number as are necessary for the efficient carrying on of the work of each. I believe that a classification of the various state institutions and the placing of them under the management of three boards will result in a great saving to the taxpayers, not only in the cost of administration but in the cost of maintenance, and I am sure their efficiency will be increased. I therefore recommend that all the state educational institutions, including the School for the Deaf and the School for the Blind, be placed under the management of a board of regents consisting of three members, who shall be paid a reasonable salary and devote all their time to the interests of the state. In addition to looking after these schools this board might well be made a board of efficiency and economy, to investigate conditions at state institutions and report to the Executive and the Legislature where duplications may be avoided, efficiency increased and expense minimized. I also recommend that the State Soldiers' Home at Dodge City, the Mother Bickerdyke Homo and all other benevolent institutions, except the School for the Deaf and the School for the Blind, be placed under the management of the Board of Control. I also recommend that all the state penal and reformatory institutions, including the Industrial School for Boys and the Industrial School for Girls, be placed under the management and control of a penal board of three members, who shall receive a salary of $1,000 each per annum and all actual and necessary expenses. Since the last session of the Legislature fire has destroyed some of the buildings at the State Home for the Feeble-minded at Winfield, and the Industrial Reformatory at Hutchinson. I recommend that suitable appropriations be made to replace these buildings with their equipments. I would also recommend a suitable appropriation for buildings and equipment at the new State Insane Hospital at Larned. I call your attention to the appropriations asked for by our benevolent and educational institutions. The educational institutions alone are asking $2,724,574 more than was allowed them by the last Legislature. I am constrained to recommend to you, that while the efficiency of all these institutions should be kept in mind, and the Kansas standard maintained, you should exercise the utmost care and judgment in determining their needs. No good citizen of this commonwealth wants to impair the usefulness of our public institutions, whether benevolent or educational; but after scanning and carefully considering their demands, I am quite clear that the appropriation of such vast sums is altogether out of the question. I believe that you will find in investigation that there are many duplications of work in our state educational institutions, that some departments are of little or no value, and that some cost more than they are worth to the state. In another part of this message I have recommended the consolidation of the different educational boards. With such a bogged I believe these objective features will be eliminated. With the information not at hand, I do not recommend any appropriations for new buildings at our educational institutions. In the matter of maintenance funds, I recommend that these institutions be treated fairly, but not with prodigality. The people demand economy, and I know of no better service these institutions can render the state than by setting an sample of reasonable economy in the administration of their own affairs. I ask you to carefully investigate the needs of these institutions and deal justly by both the schools and the taxpayers. High-school visitation is costing this state. I am informed, well over $20,000 a year in salaries, traveling expenses, clerk hire and office expenses.

CAREY, Attorney at Law, Russell Springs, Kansas Entered at the Postoffice at Topeka as Second Class Mail Matter. A CORRECTION! An article under the capsion of "Passing Comment" by J. M. Dorsey, an employee of this paper, appeared in these columns last week referring to a tumor concerning a minister in the "West End" of the city. The article referred to does an injustice to the ministers of Topeka, especially those on the West side. While such runners were afloat, it was done out of malice with intent to wrong a certain minister and place him in disrepute with the good people of Topeka and the country at large. The sooner the scandal mongers are killed off or imprisoned the better it will be for honest, upright men and women. We do not cater to such faith and it is against the policy of The Plainkaker to allow things of that character to appear in our columns. We adhere to nothing but facts, and are even careful then about publishing it. We build up instead of tearing down NICK CHIES, Editor HE "DISRUPT MEMBERS" Sometimes an article appeared in the Pandhalka, complaining of the outrages perpetrated upon the colored people in this country by the lawless whites, and in the article show up the deficiency in that class of whites in the South, and also complained of the humiliating laws of segregation that are being enacted all over the country. A reply was made to this article by Mr. W. H. Caldwell, assistant State Printer of Topka, as follow: Editor: Pandhalka; I read your two column squared in the Plaindealer of last week, and cannot refrain from reminding you of the short talk we had on the street on a few days before the election, when I quoted to you the familiar tabulal warning that you "are sowing the wind to reap the whirlwind," which you understood as well as I did that the political course you were pursuing personally and through the columns of your paper during the recent national and local campaign, was to invite and encourage the very state of affairs of which you so bitterly complain in the two column articles above referred to. You and enough voters of your color to bring about this state of fear that you now face, by your actions and votes brought on this calamity that you now so naturally dread, by placing in authority the very political party whose most devout members have always been guilty of the chameless moral you so viciously denounce. When, or where did you or any other colored person ever heat a Republican a house the Jim Crow or actions that have disgraced state farther south than Kansas." When or where have any of you ever heard a Democrat denounce such iniquitous laws? Be honest, Nick, and answer these questions in an honest, open, square asknowledge. I do not want you to hedge, in any manner, especially by quoting something deprecatory that might have been said by some Democrat seeking office and favor at your hands; but to cite any public, law-making body of Democrats who have denounced Jim Crowism when in office and in power to make effective a denunciation. I do not doubt that there are some Republicans who are as valid as every Democrat favoring and demanding Jim Crow laws—but, they are the exception, and you cannot put your finger on one of them whom the Republican party has voted into position to give their views stability in the statute book of Kansas or any other Republican state. If you can I would be enlightened with the discovery. Locking the door after the horse is stolen does not recover the horse. Sniffling and robbing does not undo the mischief that your own acts have about insured you. I trust that you are stated only, but have very little faith that is all. You deliberately took the pill and we cannot do the purging for you. Herefore you have had the Republican party to pray for you, now you are the prey of your ancient enemy into whose net you stalked with bravado and darned little sense. Your race of course cannot be held responsible for the milly acts of a few of them but the unrelenting law of nature that purnishes the innocent with the guilty is lowering like an angry cloud over the entire Negro population of Kansas, its ogren countenance having replaced the mask in which it cajoled into its confidence and treachery such weaklings as those of your race who basked in its sensuous rays that you now find it hell fire. The dye is cast, and you helped to cast it. All that the Republicans can do is to protest, which will be done vigorously, but I fear to no good effect. Now if this gentleman had read this article more carefully and had done a little more thinking, his answer would have been decidedly different. There is not a place in his article where he speaks of the outrages of white men upon Negroes and the helpless condition of the American Negro in protecting himself. There is no place where he speaks of the laws that are being enacted every day to subjugate the Negro and place him under complete control of the lawless and narrow minded white people that do all they can to keep from trending the Negro as human. The Republicans have held the reins for sixteen years. We have had Republican courts and these laws (Jim Crow laws) have been enacted and sanctioned in them. If the Republicans had been doing their duty, we would not have to complain of these outrages. Had they not declared the civil rights bill unconstitutional, which gives the same rights to all citizens of all races, and refused to enforce the same. Had the Republican supreme court sustained this law, there would never have been any Jim Crow laws, or Grandfather Clauses passed in the Union Bro. Caldwell had better wake up and look back over the work of the G. look back over the work of the G. O. P. and see that they have sowed to the wind and trapping the whirlwind. There is no reason why the G. O. P. could not have been in existence for hundreds of years, had they lived up to the Golden Rule. We are not complaining about what the Democratic party has done, but what the Republican party has not done. He says the dye is cast, as though the Democratic party will cast the colored brother overboard. But we think he is mistaken, for the Democratic party has awaken and that they will profit by the mistakes of the Republican party and capture all the Negro votes. In reference to having the Republican party for us, we rather think they have been preying upon us all the while. We are still with the G. O. P., but they cannot expect our support, but they put that class of men at the head that will not grasp the opportunity and make good when they are in the saddle. If Ron Caldwell will reflect back a short tum ago, when Holl was governor he will find that a Rappahannah legalist introduced and passed the only "Jum Crow" law upon the statutes of Kansas. NOICE.

Dr. Wiley, the Food Expert, Says a Bug is the Cause. All sorts of reams are advanced for the turning yellow of alfalfa. Some may be correct and some not. "Lack of bacteria in the soil," says one. "The ground needs lime," says another. "Roor under drainage," says a third. But here comes it. W. Wiley of Washington, the famous food expert, who tells us in the Rural New Yorker that it is due to a peculiar sort of louse that is very fond of feeding on alfalfa. Here is what he says: "A year ago last spring I sowed four acres of alfalfa on my farm in low down country, Va. 'The plot bearing the alfalfa lies just at the foot of the Blue Ridge, on the east side, and is a good quality of soil. The plot was carefully prepared by deep plowing, thorough stirring of the surface and a previous treatment with two tones of lime per acre. 'The germination was almost perfect and the growth phenom enal. "Suddenly, about the first week in June, when the young alfalfa was two or three inches high, the whole plot began to turn yellow. I thought it was due to fungus and brought samples to the bureau of plant industry at Washington "It was examined by the specialist on plant physiology, but no fungus could be found. They did say, however, that innumerable insects were found among the leaves and stems. I therefore took samples to Dr Howard, entomologist of the department. He was delighted in discovering a special alfalfa house, of which he had often heard but never had seen. In his opinion the production of zanthophyll was due to impellishment of the plant by the extraction of the sap by these lice. I would suggest to farmers who notice this appearance to examine their alfalfa for life." FILLS A HENHOUSE NEED. Here's an Easily Made and Simple Feeding Trough For Poultry. Feeding Through For Poultry. One of the greatest needs in a hen house is a dry, clean trough for feeding shell, gilt, man or the dry ration. The man who has a coiled house can try my method and I'll guarantee he will like it, says a Mishka in correspondent of the American Agricultural. Cut through the ceiling board between the studding and take out the board. Put two small hinges on it, replace and fix a button to hold it in place. Next on a slit about two inches wide and near to the studding on both sides, about WALL ATTACHED LEAD THROUGH [From Aberllyn Agricultural] a foot above the floor Insert a trough running back and slanting to the out side duphards Allow the front edge of the trough to come a little above the opening in the wall so the feed will not overrun With a cool scuffle the trough may be easily filled and the hops cannot waste or get on top of the trough and teal it I have three in my house for grit, shell and brin during the winter. Where one tools grins and thinks it best to keep a spoon before the fawns all the time this plan will be liked as it takes up too much whatever. If one house is not to hold the fawns may be put on the outside of the house with drought running through. The tops of the fawns should slant so the rain will run off them, of course, will have to be lifted from the outside. With this plant the tool drops down as fast as the fawns move it from the droughts. --- closet to reduce may sometimes be removed from poor once by padded hinging and turning for a few rest of folding Around the Hennery. Here is where so many people fall down in the hen business. 'They will not feed well while the hens are "dry." Charcoal is not a food, though fowls gain in flesh and eggs during its use. It simply puts them and keeps them in a good condition for work. Impure ale, as well as dampness, is a danger to any flock. Separate the flock in bunches of twenty-five or fifty and feed them separately, and they will make much better gills. With the possible exception of broilers, capons produce the highest priced chicken meat on the market. They frequently bring as high as 40 cents a pound and never less than 20 cents. During the winter months the poultry houses are apt to get damp, and some kind of miscellent material should be used on the doors of the poultry houses, and under the roosts. Nothing except a dirt for this purpose. Home is that if the hens do not have a full supply, of grit the food will not pass through the gizzard as it should, the gizzard and the passage will stop the stop to the gizzard be come slept, and many a fowl dies simply from want of material to grind its food. Keep grit before the fowl at all times. .

The green apple worm is a yellowish green minkled caterpillar, which cuts into the sides of small green apples with the results indicated in the picture. It also eats the leaves. When fully grown it is nearly in touch and a half long. The caterpillars often make only small openings through the skin of the young apples, which of being smoothly these wounds form a ruff or early ruff, which has often been mistaken for the true ruff.

The detritus of its life history are not well known. It is probable the eggs are laid soon after the fruit buds open, and the young worms, hatching a few days later, feel most on the leaves and later on the fruit. They continue their feeding through the early part of the season and reach full size about the time the apples are in look in diameter when they go into the soil and pupate. In the late summer and early till the months issue from the paper and press the water under any favorable shelter in the spring they resume activity. Clearly spraying is the only method by which we may expect to be able to destroy these worms and from the fact that they feed extensively upon the foliage, it would appear to be easy to get satisfactory results. Professor Singerland of Cornell university has pointed out that in the experience of some of his correspondents it is very difficult to kill this green fruit worm after the apples are large enough to furnish food. It is probable that an early spraying would be effective, and we recommend that four pounds of insentide of lead be added to every fifty gallons of time sulphur or the tobacco extract applied just before the fruit buds open, or in water at the same time or a little earlier it there is no other pest requiring treatment. This year will be a more profitable year for the farmer if he makes use of his observations and experience last year. Surely we cannot afford to make the same mistakes every year Nature matured stone is not the best plant food for a thrifty peach or hard the manure contains too large a proportion of nitrogen. The effect of this is to drive the trees to wood growth rather than to fruit. Apple and plum trees can stand this sort of feeding for better than peach, the latter being more defender and more inclined to make wood. *Hural New Yorker* What the Lawyers Tell Us. Chickens are not "live stock." This was the gist of a recent opinion by the interstate commerce commission. A man has no authority to open his wife's letters and he cannot give his attorney or any other person the right to open her personal mail. Assistant Patient Commissioner Ten point has decided that, while the signature of the entire interest in an application for patent may be permitted to prosecute such application for patent out to the exclusion of the inventor, the patent office cannot recognize a patent having only an option to purchase. Under the older common law a person was entitled to kill all pigeons coming on his land. Pigeons are now regulated as property however and are protected by the law much to the same extent as domestic fowls. This means that a landowner is not justified in shooting them merely because of their coming on his property but he may kill them where it is reasonably necessary to prevent their injuring or destroying his crops. TURN DOWN THE SIGN PAINTER. Farmers should not allow their barns or outbuildings that are close to the road to be decorated with the advertisements of articles or the business of merchants of nearby towns. It detracts from the appearance of the farm and gives the place a too much commercialized aspect. A sign of that kind soon becomes an eyesore to both the farmer and his neighbors. What little protection the advertiser's paint gives the building is more than offset by its ugly appearance - Northwest Farm and Home HOW TO KILL LAWN BUGS. Various Ways Suggested to New York Botanical Garden Expert. In answer to a call published in the New York Times Dr W A Murrell, acting director of the New York botanical garden, received interesting suggestions relative to the extermination of white grubs that have killed many of the lawns in New York and vicinity by cutting the roots of the grass he heaths the soil. It is thought the worm may be crushed by watering the lawns and rolling them with a heavy horse roller. Poison is said to be effective, but for immediate effects on badly injured lawns it is probable best in the fall to plow and sow it once the infested areas with three quarts of white clover seed to the acre. Dr Murrell is informed that the mature beetles, usually called May beetles or June bugs, may be explained when they emerge from the ground in the late spring or early summer, at the end of the third year of their development, by placing tubes of water containing a little ker霉素 at various points on the lawn with lanterns suspended above them. The insects are attracted in swarms by the lights and finally fall into the tubes, where they are killed by the ker霉素. One advantage of this method lies in the fact that a lawn may be protected no matter where the insects originate nor how abundant they may be. WARNING! Washington Experts Want Every One to Look Out For Bad Vetch Seed. Warning has been issued by the United States department of agriculture against the purchase of certain lots of low grade hurs vetch seed now being offered by who others. The greater part of this is imported from Europe. Recent lots have been found to contain from 15 to 50 per cent of hurs vetch seed, the remainder being forms of spring vetch not likely in the northern states or various species of wild vetch unless of doubtful value. The seed of hairy vole is spherical in varying from three to thirty seconds to five thirty seconds of an inch diameter, averaging about one-eighth of an inch. The seed of most other vole are more on the horn-shaped dotted at the ends and varying in size. It sprouting a small quantity of the seed seed in a confined and gently shaking at the hairy vole is of having behind most of the vole that has been used as an aid for it. The color of hairy vole seeds is grayish black, with a greenish tinge, which is another test also the in the ruffled seed.

State Agent, MAKING FARM NO one need expect to argue farmers out of grain raising, although that is not the most profitable agriculture. It is possible, how ever to show owners of land that it is just as easy to grow thirty bushels of wheat, 100 bushels of corn or 300 bushels of potatoes on an acre as it is to grow lean and miserable crops. It is simply a question of management and not specially of hard work. Until a crop of wheat amounts to fifteen bushels an acre there is no profit whatever at average prices. Above fifteen bushels it is practically all profit. Here is the incentive to raise reasonably large crops. The corn average is only twenty eight bushels an acre, whereas it ought to be 100. The potato average is 100 bushels, but it ought to be 200. There must be the right succession of crops in the fields, the so called rotation. There must be the money making proportion between grass land and crop land and live stock in proportion to total land. While these facts are vital to all producers, it seems to have become the duty of the small farmer to locate the way for a more intensive and scientific kind of agriculture. The use of a large amount of manure does not essential them bigger wounds and not profits. Some things more than manning is required the soil must be worked better and wounds destroyed. There must be right proportion and quantity of plant foods. It will not do to guess that they are in the soil, for it must be proved. If the test shows the quantity lacking and proportion with the farmer cannot make money. Non-potent subsol under heavy, close soil is hard as porous subsol under sand. TAKE AN INVENTORY. Do you take a sentimental inventory of your property so you know the increase or decrease of value, also to base your claims in case of fire? An inventory on the farm is important. Be fair with yourself and others when placing the valuation - National Stockman and Farmer VALUE OF THE HEMLOCK. Bark For Tanners' Use and Lumber Are Products of the Tree. Hemlock has always been an important source of tanning material on account of the tannic acid in its bark. While there are now many substitutes, large quantities are still used, and the bark of a hemlock forest may furnish a considerable revenue, hence, in order to estimate the total value of a hemlock starch, it is necessary to be able to determine the amount of bark, as well as that of hunter. Whatever hemlock seed trees are plentiful reproduction is usually fault it does not however take possession of oil pastures so do the pine and spruce, and it is probably never found on the burrows on the mountains. ```markdown ``` Photograph by Vermont agricultural experiment station THIRTY HEMBLE K LIFT FOR THE PHOTO TION OF A WATERFIELD, ALTHOUGH MATURE. where poplar, birch and spruce are so common. Hemlock, however, seems to possess the ability to reproduce on a hardwood litter of leaves better than does either pine or spruce, and frequently young hemlocks are seen start- ing under old hard woods. But, while there is a rather small reproduction of hemlock, there is at most no second growth in the stage so commonly found of spruce and pine; hence figures of the increase of seed growth hemlock are entirely lacking Indeed, it is doubtful whether there will ever be another growth of any account to take the place of the old trees.

BOWSFIELD Heavy soil underlain with porous subsoil or sandy soil underlain with nonporous subsoil in the proper combination. Taking the great run of soils the country over, phosphorus, calcium and humus are the only materials necessary to add to them. Calcium is supplied best in form of ground limestone; phosphorus in the form of basalt slag phosphate or phosphate rock, the humus by the green manures, grasses and farm manure here are some of the crop requirements; Grains, Nitrogen, phosphorus Potato Nitrogen Sugar Roots Nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium potassium Peas, Clover Milfoa, Calcium, phosphorus, potassium Beans - Phosphorus, potassium, calcium Soils which hold moisture do not lack nitrogen. The drier a soil may be as a rule, the greater is the lack of nitrogen. The dry soil remains poor in humus in moist spots the soil is darker and humus content increased. The heavy clay soils require a heavier dressing of phosphorus and a lighter dressing of nitrogen while on the dry soil the reverse is true. Wet cold soils are for the most part poor in potassium With a few plain principles like these before them farmers ought to be able to go forward and increase production on their land 50 to 100 per cent. Plans of crop rotation should bring wheat after corn clever after wheat one or two years and potatoes after clever Cowpeas, sugar beans, turnips and similar crops ought to have a place in the rotative scheme Farmers are waking up to the idea that it requires about as much brain power to run a farm properly and profitably as it does to run a doctor's office, a pranch or pulpit or any other profession. We want brains and cultivated brains on the farm - Orange Studd Farmer TO GRAB THE BIDDIES. Here's a Hook That Gets Them Without Doing Any Harm. Instead of closing fowls when needed for examination or anything else every poultry man should employ catching books.

It dollars from the commotion and the first because the wire is so foothold and it need that it remains practically right and securing the be and is a heal that it perfor the shank of the howl to be J cashily caught and effectively held without injury owing to the aperture entrance, which prevents the shank from being easily withdrawn, and the large aperture which gives freedom of action while the shank is held. The shank however, is easily released by the attendant. The hook is made from a bromine handle and a six foot piece of No.10 steel wire, which can be easily bent into the proper shape. The wire is less conspicuous than the wooden end, which attracts the fowly attention while the hook catches the shank. The illustration shows the hook on large and shows also how the wire is re-enforced. Critter Wisdom. A little pig, just like a growing plant needs sunshine. In both cases it seems to be a part of tonne that makes the best development possible. It is a great mistake to keep sheep in a warm pen in winter. Their fleece protects them, and if they are kept dry they will require nothing else. A cow can live or maintain herself on roughage and she can live and produce on good pasture grass, without concern fruits, but with the ordinary farm roughage the cow must have concentrates to enable her to produce profitably. Raw linseed oil is the best remedy for constipation. It acts more quickly than any of the other simple remedies. The raw, having a very complicated digestive tract, is very hard to treat for any bowel trouble, or raw linseed oil will usually act in from ten to twelve hours. Give a half a pint at a dose and repeat in three or four hours till relief is brought. I few people understand the real value of green manure. According to Dr Hopkins of the Illinois station, animals digest and thus destroy two thirds of the dry matter in the feed which they consume, so that one ton of alfalfa or clover plowed under would add as much humus to the soil as will three tons of clover fed to the stock and returned as manure to the land, even if there should be no loss by fermentation. Green manuring has the advantage of returning all the substance of the plant growth to the soil and of destroying the weeds, while manuring in the dormant way does not return to the plant growth, nor does it destroy the weeds when it is burned out fresh --- MAKING A COLD FRAME BED. Directions For Mixing the Concrete and Filling the Forms The following directions are given by the Rural New Yorker for use in a four sash hut which course could be extended to any length desired. A standard method sash is 12 by 12 foot lay out the bed six feet eight inches wide by twelve feet ten inches long. The concrete walls are six inches thick. The foundation trembles two feet six inches deep within the lines given above. Make forms of one inch one inch to carry the south front wall six inches and the north front wall four inches above the ground. Forms are not required below ground level. The tops of the end walls slope to the others. Before filling the forms with concrete test the dimensions of the bed by means of the sash. Next the sash up the forms two inches of all sides. With the concrete mushy wall in the proportion of one half of a square two and one half circle feet of sand to five cubic feet of crushed rock or one bag of cement to five cubic feet of bank or gravel. Fill the forms without stopping for anything. For the walls together at the corners by laying in them old from tools bent to tight angles. While placing the concrete set half inch bolts about two feet apart to hold the wooden top framing of the COLD BRAND GROOVED DOKNASH From the Local New Yorker COLD HAM GROUND FOR NASH [From the Local New Yorker] bad to the concrete or make grooves in the top of the concrete for comfort shaking the sash to the level of the walls with an allowance of one quarter inch for clearance. This can be done by temporarily infiltrating in the concrete wooden strips of the necessary dimensions. During this operation, by means of blocks rolled to the strips make provision for the center bars deformed below. Remove the strips as soon as the concrete stiffens. Take down the forms after five days. The extra two and five inches inches in length of the foot is allowance for the three center bars between the sash. These sash supports one dressed one inch stuff shaped like a capital. Turn up or down the length of the stem of the "I" is equal to the thickness of the sash and the top is three inches wide. Sufficient materials for the concrete will be supplied by four inches of cement one and a quarter inch width of sand and two and one half inch width of crushed rock or cement in a cement and two and a half inch width of pet gravel at a cost of about $10. h e Picture For Pins In fall letter, there is nothing quite equal to a patch of fire on the two trees and that status will be more healthy and growth.

Where green food is not provided it too often hap pens that little or no growth is secured on fall pigs. In that case the profit is lacking, as a small amount of growth will not be sufficient even to pay for the feed that has been eaten. A patch of green, bonuses raw will change all that and make the profit where other wise there would be loss. Farm Progress Winter Protection of Trees. Mukhling in spring and summer is very valuable for transplanted trees, but is dangerous in winter, as the straw furnishes a hiding place for the ground mice, which would ruin the trees by eating the bark. The winter protection of the young trees should be the sound of earth, a foot or so high and eighteen inches in diameter. National Stockman and Farmer The Value of Drainage. Drainage removes the surplus water, improves the character of the soil, makes the available supply of water more abundant, wards the soil and in crosses are available food supply waters it, prevents erosion and heaving in cross plant growth Work For Wintry Days The wood lot offers a place where the farmer may turn wintry days into profit cutting wood, having lumber and posts moved and clearing up land new worthless. Farm and Garden Here's One That Has Been Found to Work Very Satisfactorily. We have two wagon gates through which we must pass very often often a dozen or more times every day soys a correspondent of Home and Farm. The boys live in one hid and the old folks on the other and between the two places is now pasture three quarters of a mile apart woodland and part church land. and unfasten these waters would to a great dilution in the run of a great enough to do how of the loath strangled to gates are being to with a new horse or with a jute and are full shorn of their own to both light, one and the other so they To get down at every small deal of trouble would take it other word to avoid this open inward male cannibal hung so they accord The ing made of will not point will not point their eyes to place If no motion is felt to pass through even with no noise, and there be great satisfaction in knowing that the gate will be able to what itself and to quite no fault in thought. But there is one difficulty, both no doubt comes to the reader's mind. Will not the wind blow it open and let stock into the cornfields? will And that is the point of the matter. One of the gates has a woodland to protect it from such an occurrence. Only a very wise wind from the east will affect it in the least. Only once a strip was cut through for a telephone line has such a thing occurred at all. The other is however, in nearly fected by a wind from the west in body of woodland of very dense growth obliterating even a north wind against it. We have solved even that problem with what we call a wind litch. A piece of wood board by 12 inches is trimmed to almost a further inch at end. With a hole in each hole is laid oligowls in the other end. A seven inch spike is put through and driven an inch into the post against which the gate struts are at the top of the post on the outside so it hangs down clear of the dark swirls of which the fence is made. A place of heavy win three inches long is thrown sidewise and on the west side near the top of this board or "wing" as we call it. A ring or loop is fitted in the free end from which a spider who extends down wind to meet the middle of the gate where it connects with the latch proper. This is a small rod the size of a new penny will fit it passes through a three inch lock bound down within through a six inch bound. The west end does not square to the north and the wire in the wing is connected with it at the bottom and it does not close. Now when the wind blows hard enough to cause the gate to open it will hit the wire and that will blow the foot of the gate so it enters the gate. I like to make all our art this way sweet to eat with all of the uppermost mine feet from the ground. The wind offences this face it was back and forth but this last always captures the guts in right of work. there should be a farmer child in every neighborhood, and there should be the best of farm papers in every home.

THE PRESENT DAY OPPORTUNITY OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOL. The above subject was ably presented in a paper before the Interstate Literary Association by Prof W. E. Guy, a bright young educator and principal of one of the schools at Leavenworth. The following is the paper presented by Prof Guy:: "It has been agreed upon among the orthodox that the first result of education must be intelligence that its primal element is the intellectual. There can hardly be any appeal from this decision, unless one would be willing to admit that a normal product of the school might be a know-noting, or that by some other means than the development of an intelligent, consciousness can the other elements that enter into the character of education be unfolded "Second in order in education is the moral element. The educational value of morality as an influence has always been admitted. Placing morals as a secular subject in the course of study belongs to education of the present time; and the listing of the moral element of education as next an order to the intellectual may now be done almost without controversy. "In the third place education must possess the esthetic element. An eye to discern the beautiful in nature and art, and a soul that appreciates and lives the heart for in life and character, must ever be regarded one of the most valuable results of education Closely following the aesthetic element comes the proper development of the emotions. It is an old criticism that the successful business man has no interest in the community welfare, too little interest in his own home; that the wealthy have little sympathy for the condition of the poor; that the poor despise the rich; that the workman is the foe of the employer; and that two races are different by nature and origin as the Caucasian and the Negro cannot live and normally develop within the same community lives under the same government. To education is given the task of creating and training proper feeling among the different classes and races of children that mind way into the the public school. This work is not to be lightly regarded. Emotion is one of the three primary powers of the human mind. By its proper development shall education answer the century-old question of man and, with the church, be a twin agency in the world's redemption. "If there is any phase of education that has provoked extended criticism as to its nature and scope, it is the vocational. The classist has contended for an education that developed the human mind as an entity, and regarded the public school as a training ground for life and sought to give each child some vocational equipment for it. No public school, today, thinks of being considered efficient without incorporating the the vocational element in education. In the language of President Lloyd: 'We have lately become convinced that accurate work with carpenter's tools or lathe or hammer and anvil, or pencil or cannel's hair brush, train the same nerves and ganglion with which we do what is ordinarily called thinking.' "There was a time not too far away when the scholar was pictured as a thin, lean, saw-boned, round,shouldered fellow, of sallow complexion and with a bald head, petulant, unsocial, sent to school in early boyhood because too weak to work on the farm. The present day type of school man is that of a man capable in physical courage as in moral or intellectual courage; a physical as well as a mental athlete a human vertebrate—a man. Realizing that a nation's power and effectiveness lies in the health of its citizens, to insure normal and proportional growth and to create correct habits of health, the public school today gives each child a systematic course in physical development. "I the intellectual, the moral, the true esthetic, the emotional, the vocational and the physical, these are the elemental phases of the education attempted by our public school.0 them all, the moral, though second in order, is by no means second in importance. Intelligence is the base of all education. But morality not only stands second in order as an educational objective. It must be an influence permeating all these elements if education is to be worth while.1 For if intelligence be not saturated with morality, your so-called educated man becomes a sensualist, a degenerate or a crook. Without the moral element directing the emotions, class warfare, race hatred, sensuality or selfishness reigns where altruism should hold sway. No moral element in the vocational element of education, and the product of your handler of tools invariably is a bad job. It is the moral element in the individual that makes your educational product a man. Without it you have a fellow. "Take a survey of the average community. Observe the large number of idle, purposeless, if not vicious, creatures, once pupils in our public schools, and seriously ask yourself the question—Is there not something wrong somewhere with our system of education or with the teachers, in it, when crime is so prevalent, and the life of the vicious has so many followers, in spite of six, eight or twelve years school attend once." "To be sure, the school is not a informatory nor a house of correction. Not on the school atone for all the ill of poor hereditary equipment and of unwholesome home influence. But conscientious men and women have been seriously considering the condition of the average community, and have concluded that the school is at least in part responsible for present community conditions. For conditions have grown worse in the present generation. The homes and hereditary conditions of the present are the product of the school children of the past generation. The school of the past generation, if not of the present, must bear some responsibility for this community condition. In Italy Dr. Montessori has given her name to a system of education born of the conviction society is responsible for the criminal acts of its depraved members; that the educators of Italy were responsible for allowing so many children to develop into murderers; and that any system of education made to apply indiscriminately to all children would not correct the tendencies of an abnormal child. This system, originally intended for the mentally deficient, has seemed to reveal a terrible handicap in the education of the normal child, and promises a reform if not a revolution in our methods of teaching. It comes as a result of a teacher's willingness to accept responsibility for social conditions in Italy, coupled with an earnest, intelligent effort to find a remedy. "In our own country the National Association for Moral Instruction in the Public School has rather recently been incorporated. Present day conditions, in the average American community, the lack of proper ideas and ideas in the field of sport, in industry and in trade, at home and in the crowd, on the various fields of the game of life, these are the conditions that have brought into existence the National Association for Moral Instruction in the Public School. Dr. Milton Pauchild of Baltimore has just completed a visit to ten cities in the state of Kansas during which he has given a systematic course of instruction in Morals to 5,000 school children something new and before unheard of in education. Dr. Pauchild's visit has meant much to the children of these cities. But the prospect of greater results when a force of trained, effective speakers, instructors in morals, shall be given a place among our teaching force, is a prophecy of a much more efficient education for the children of the near future. "these two movements, both inspired by social conditions and a desire to remedy them, and both originating within the teacher's ranks, are an indication of the power and influence of the school as a remedial agent in the correction of at least of the evils of home and community life. And just here lies the opportunity, nay even the obligation, of the public school in America—it is the opportunity to so efficiently prepare the children of the present generation for citizenship that the serious and vexing problems of society in city, state and national life shall be solved and solved right, and the glorious development of government of the people go on to its destined end. "It has been intimated that this education for good citizenship is an obligation. It is almost a necessity, in a republic, a government by the people, the making of good citizens is essential to the healthy existence of the state. Now this making of good citizens depends more than anything else on the character and scope of the moral instruction in the public school. The kind of moral instruction in the average school seems to lack life and vigor. It is a sort of animal morality. The child is compelled to keep within due bounds. The teacher seems to have little interest in awakening, when necessary, or in guiding, where it already exists, a live moral consciousness to high and proper ideals. The child unaroused, unawakened, unacquainted with his higher, nobler self, blindly obeys the command and leaves school incapable of intelligent, volitional, moral action. Here lies the opportunity of the school. Here is the heavy obligation of the teacher. Dr. Kealing made a valuable contribution to the definition of education when he said: 'Education should not only draw out the natural tendencies of the child. Sometimes it is the duty of education to cut them off or to crowd them back.' What we need today is the spirit of the old school master, who actually kept school, and, backed by sensible parents, brought out the good, corrected the evil, drilled the pupils in the rudiments of knowledge, and made men and women of the boys and girls of the 'destrict skule.' "It is a long distance from the reign of the school master to the supervisory rule of the school principal; from the rough school bench to the adjustable desk; from the single teacher without equipment to the primary, intermediate and departmental school amply furnished and equipped; from the rude drill in the three R's to the methodical instruction of today. "Into this splendid equipment of our school let there enter the healthy moral consciousness of the old school master's time, together with a rigid requirement that each child shall actually march forward, accomplishing something from day to day. And thus shall we develop in the boys and girls of the present generation an industriousness, a moral stamina and a high purpose that shall efficiently serve the ends of good citizenship in the days to come." NEW YEARS' OPENING OF THE NATIONAL PREACHERS Colorado Springs, Col. The trustees of the home made an appeal to the ministers and churches of the Fifth Episcopal district requesting each pastor to take a free will offering on watch meeting night or an after collection the following Sunday and to forward the same to J. W. Buxton, 915 E. Huerfano, Colorado Springs, Colo. As very few have responded to this very urgent appeal, I earnestly request the bethen to take an alter collection or offering from their people and assist me in caring for the five inmates here. In view of the fact that the collections from the conferences have been small and that the appropriation made by the last General Conference is withheld from us, may we not urge the bethen to come to our relief? The following have generously and liberally responded: Rev. C. H. Bounce, Colorado Springs. 5125 Rev. I. H Harris, Gallatin, Mo. v. 110. Rev B. C. Anderson, Frankfort. v. 75. Mrs. A. H.

They returned to Chetopa on Sunday evening, where Miss Holder is visiting with her brother, Prof. John Holder, and where Miss Nestfield is engaged in teaching in the city schools of that place. Mrs. Nellie Cheatham of Chetopa is the guest of Mrs. Mollie Motley. Miss Mary Smith entertained last Saturday afternoon at a four-course luncheon in honor of Miss Lilly Grigsby of Columbus.

Girl Awarded Damages for Blacks' Presence on Pullman; U. S. Supreme Court Gets Case. Prize Court gets case. Ory "court" case ever before the supreme court of the United States reached it today when the Alabama & Vickburg Railroad Company filed an appeal from the verdict of the Missippi court, which awarded Miss Pearl Morris $15,000 for distress of mind and body, caused by being required to occupy a birth in a Pullman car in which three Negro men occupied berths. The supreme court of Mississippi reduced the damages to $2,000. No case of this nature has ever been considered by the supreme court. The case is attracting particular attention because the Mississippi courts have interpreted the "Jim Crow" law of that state as applicable to interstate commerce as well as to inter-state travel. They justify the law on the ground that the "Jim Crow" law was enacted to preserve order by separating the two races, and disturbance is as likely to occur upon an interstate train passing through the state as upon a local train. Another point upon which the case may serve as a precedent in case of affirmance is that state "Jim Crow" laws requiring separate accommodations on passenger trains mean that separate Pullman cars must be furnished as well as separate "passenger" cars. In the case brought to the court today, Miss Morris boarded the train at Vicksburg for New York. Upon entering the Pullman she observed the presence there of three Negro men. She at once demanded separate accommodations, which were refused. Free!

I also call your attention to the oft expressed feeling that our method of assessment for taxation is too cumbersome and too expensive, and I urge you to consider carefully the changes that might be made in the interest of economy and efficiency. I recommend that no state officer, elective or appointive, be paid for time spent in other than the performance of his official duties, with the exception of the allowance of such vacations, not oftener than once each year, as the Legislature may decide upon. I am sincerely gratified to report to you that our utilities law is a great success and that it needs only slight amendment, if any. In the hands of broadgauged men it will continue to be an instrument of the highest value for the development and upbuilding of the state.
