JOINT DEBATE
TO TAKE PLACE
"Prvate' john Allen and Judge Blount
Meet at Winona Next Thursday,
June 8.

Winona, Miss, June 3-The joint
debate between Private" John Allen
and Judge |. T. Blount, to take place
at Winona on next Thursday, June
Sth, is expected to attract the largest
crowd that has assembled at politi-
cal gathering in Mississippi this year
Political leaders from all parts of
the state will be in attendance, and it
is likely that the Vardaman and anti
Vardaman factions will be about
equally represented.
Private" John Allen announced ten
days ago that he was willing to meet
any reputable follower of Ex-Governor
| Vardaman in joint debate anywhere
in Mississippi and Judge Blount's
acceptance is the first reply he has
| thus far received. 1t was announced
| in dispatch from Lauderdale Springs
a few days ago that Mr.. Allen had de-
clined to meet State Senator Hebron,
who is acting as Mr.. Vardaman's
/
campaign manager. This report was
erroneous. Mr.. Allen did state that
he could not meet Mr.. Hebron at that
place on June list, owing to the fact
that he was to attend the marriage
of his neice at Tupelo on that date.
He has not received a reply from Sen
ator Hebron, or any intimation from
that gentleman that he wants to en-
gage in joint debates.
Winona has long been noted as one
Of the great political rally points in
Mississippi, owing to the fact that it
Is easy of access, and the Allen-Blount
debate will doubtless bring crowds
from more than a dozen adjoining
counties. The railroads will be asked
to run special trains for the accomo-
dation of the crowds.
The debators will be allowed about
one hour each for their main speeches
and thirty to forty-ive minutes for
their reioinders, the usual rules and
regulations governing such events t.
prevail.
Details for other meetings will be
arranged later. Both men are veteran
campaigners and able speakers who
have hitherto participated in many
Joint discussions, and are thoroughly
versed in the rules of the game ant
know how to think while in action.
Since Judge Blount's acceptance o.
the Allen challenge both men are be
ing deluged with letters from all parts
of the state asking that various towns
be included in their itinerary, showing
that the people generally are anxious
to hear some of the old-fashionet
face-to-face discussions that wer,
characteristic of Mississippi cam
paigns in former years.

FINAL DETAILS OF
 SCHOOL TRANSFER
Meeting of Presbyterians May Be Held in Selma Tomorrow or
 Saturday

Selma, June 14.--(Special 1.-The final de- tails for the formal transfer of the Selma Military institute to the control of the Presbyterian synod as well as other mat ters of great importance to the school will probably be ratified by the trustees at meeting to be held here either Fri day or Saturday.
 The Rev. w. c. Clark of Livingston, the Rev. J. W. Stagg of Anniston, John H. Frye of Birmingham and John B. Knox of Anniston. composing the board of trustees of the Presbyterian College for Men at Anniston, and R. E. McWilliams of Camden. L. M Hooper, J. F. Hooper and l.. W. Hubbard of Selma, trustees of the Selma Military institute, met Tuesday at the First Presbyterian church. These two bodies formed a synodical com mission and they discussed at great length the co-relationship of the two ed- ucational institutes
 Owing to the fact that there was a great deal of committee work essential before the definite plans could be undertaken or announced the members decided to make no public announcement of any, thing definite until everything was in readiness, which will probably require until the end of the week. The body will resume its deliberations at that time, when 1t is more than probable that the work will have been completed. They will also probably select teachers at that time and several other announce ments of importance to friends of the school will. be made then.

Forgot the Glamor

The visitor looking down on the Con- gross for the first time, If he Is able to forget the glamor and see things as they really are, is deeply impressed with the commonplaceness of the thing.
 Here are the men who strut through the newspapers, the magazines and into his tory in every conceivable corftortion of the writer and the cartoonist art. From afar you have regarded them as some thing approaching the super-human- creatures that are removed from the common herd of men.
 There was never greater mistake You look down on men that are human as yourself, men who are cringing ana watching every move that they are forced to make in fear and trembling. They are afraid of their constituents at home who are becoming more and more Independent in intelligent in their views in their actions.
 And then when you look down on such men as Lorimer smiling and defiant and others that I might name and that you know about you somehow feel that all this glory and power you have read and heard about is largely a prisnatic reflec- tion that grows larger and more false the farther 1t travels through beveled reflec- tors.
 But there is power here and some real greatness. But the credit rests with the people at home more than with the indi- viduals that strut up and down these halls.

A Look at Congress


 | looked in on Congress In action during the afternoon. In the House wing Rep resentative Monden of wyoming was speaking against the adoption of schedule K of the tariff. which refers to wool. He was getting his speech into the records all right and did not seem to be worried that less than a dozen members were listening to him. Only one newspaper man was in the press gallery and he was trying to take his afternoon nap.
 MT. Mondell jumped on Oscar Under wood of Alabama and told several pointed stories at his expense. He shook his west ern finger at the chairman of the ways and means committee several times but the electric sparks that flew therefrom if they hit at all glanced off at the back of MT. Underwood's symmetrical and well eroomed head. The latters back was turned to the speaker and he did not for a moment hesitate in his earnest conversa- tion with Senator Newlands of Nevada, who had come across the corridor to get some tariff information from the admit ted authority"
 MT. Underwood will probably discover that MT. Mondell said something about him when he reads the Congressional Rec ord at the breakfast table in the morn- ing. Then there may be fight? But MT. Underwood's hateful indiffer- ence and the undisputed manner in which he continued to cultivate the good road model up the middle of his wel-shaped head with an unshaking hand must have been exasperating to the member from Wyoming, but he was getting his speech into the records and the people back at home can imagine all sorts of things about the discontinue of the democratic leader from Alabama.
 Isn't it blessed that all things are not what they seem?
 In the Senate Senator Borah was dis oussing the election of United States sen ators by direct vote of the people. He was opposing the Bristow amendment, which sought to place the elections in the several states for senators under the control of the federal authorities.
 Most of the members of the Senate were in their seats, even Lorimer of Illinois, who had just arrived from Chicago in an- swer to hurry call by friends of the amendment, was in his place. His vote saved the amendment, though some con- tend that the one democratic vote, that of Clarke of Arkansas, is responsible for | its adoption. The stranger was naturally attracted l by the presence of Senator Gore, the blind wonder from Oklahoma. He was standing close behind Senator Borah, leaning on the arm of a page and was listening intently to every word of the speaker.

Pennsylvania Avenue

I have only been in Washington since noon today. It is my first visit to the capital It is too early for me to assume to express many opinions but there are few things just must get out of my sys- tenn. They will not stay with this Po- tonac river water. 4
 Pennsylvania avenue Is a miserable fail ure as viewed from a physical standpoint and with your sights set according to the descriptions and the ideas you have had of it.
 You are told that George Washington. Henry Clay, Daniel Webster and all the other great men of the past promenaded this historic avenue. that splendid process sions of royal brilliancy have passed along its sweltering asphaltum, but your ideals are spoiled by the sight of meap dives. miserable little shops and antequated frame structures.
