The situation in Europe is the
cause of much alarm and CORE
spondents from the seats of gov
eminent are not encouraging
in their review of the situation
in the settlement of matters be-
tween Turkey and the Balkan
states. For some time the whole
of Europe has exhibited a spirit
of unrest and those who are in a
position to know believe that
war is imminent. Should Austria
insist on her contention with
Servia that the latter shall have
no base in the Adriatic the
possibility is that war will follow.
Russia, England and France are
determined that the Balkan
states shall enjoy the fruits of
their victory over Turkey, while
Austria, Germany and Italy are
opposed to any territorial con-
cessions to these states.

The United States Commits
sioner or Internal Revenue, Mr..
Cabeli, sends out the information
that during the three months of
! July, August and September,
1912, the people of the United
States smoked $500, 600, 900
cigarettes, an increase of 1,00O,-
600, 900 over the corresponding
period last year; drank 80, $50
900 gallons of whiskey, an in
crease of $50. 900 gallons; smoked
1 $50, 900, 600 cigars, and drank
-, 800, 600 barrels of beer, an in
crease of 800, 900 barrels.
1t is hard to realize that with
increased prohibition territory
and legislation that the records
show such an increase in the
use Of tobacco and intoxicants.
Every year some state is added
to the temperance column, but
Notwithstanding prohibitive
legislation, there is a growing
demand for whiskey and tobac-
co.
The only reason that can pos
sibly be given is the increased
number Of people in the territory
where intoxicants are sold and
also the financial ability of the
people to indulge themselves.

THE NEXT MISTRESS OF THE
WHITE HOUSE.

While the country has become
pretty we'll acquainted with the
life and character of the next
president, but little is known Of
the next Mistress of the White
House. The following descrip'
ton of Mrs. Wilson has been Civ
en- out by one who knows hel
well:
"While the personality of the presi
dent of the United States is of course
the most important question, | belieyt
all women are interested in the first
lady of the land, and being in posses
sion of certain facts in regard to Mrs
Wilson. | thought you might like te
hear what manner of woman she is,
and what part she played as helpmee'
to her distinguished husband.
ELLEN Arson Wilson came of dis.
tinguished Southern families. On both
sides her ancestors had been people OF
refinement and broad culture for gene.
rations. She was a dark eyed, rather
quiet child with a beautiful face of re-
markable sweetness and a shy. appeal
ing smile which she retains to this day.
"She inherited a good clear brain and
an intellectual industry which has
stood her in good stead always. Her
father related this incident Of her. 1t
was suggested to her by her teacher at
the close of the term, that she might
perhaps complete her geometry during
the summer vacation and be ready to
go on with the class in trigonometry In
the fall. No one thought any more
abou. it until before school opened for
the autumn term, when her father
asked her how she had gotten on.
"Oh!" she replied, II have finished
geometry Also"
"She showed from her childhood a
talent for drawing and painting, and
studied for several winters at the art
in New York where she laid the
of her work.
During the early years of her mar
being closely occupied as moth
err and housekeeper, she laid this work
aside, but afterwards resumed it; has
studied both in Europe and this u
try; and has produced some things of
great charm and beauty.
"Mrs. Wilson is a striking illustration
of the help that a wife be to her hus-
band. Mr.. Wilson's ability and ambi-
ton are so great that this could not be
said to be a case of what every woman
knows but had it not been for his
wife's wise and careful management.
the serene domestic atmosphere she
has maintained, her sympathy and real
assistance, her unfaltering belief in
blm and his ideals, Woodrow Wilson
might never have attained to his pres
ent greatness"

TUPELO, MISS, NOV. Is, 1912


The strike among the cadets al
the A. & M. College began or
the Sth inst. presents the worst
case of INSTRUMENTATION that has
ever been brought to the atten-
ton of the public. The demands
of the senior class were high
handed and indicate that the
class has assumed practically SUI
preme authority over tie manage
ment of the school.
The faculty deemed it advisa-
BE for the good of all that there
should be no communication be-
tween the cadets and the young
ladies during certain hours OF
the day. An order was issued
prohibiting any conversation be-
tween the young men and young
ladies during these hours and the
BOYS took offense and demanded
that Professor MaGruder who
promulgated the order and Pres
ident Hightower who endorsed it.
should make a public apology for
their actions. These gentlemen
refused to do so and at a meeting
of the faculty the greater portion
of the senior class were expelled.
Other members took sides with
the seniors and a large number
of the pupils went home.
Governor Brewer reached the
college Sunday for the purpose
of talking to the boys and advis-
ing them that their course was
wrong. He was informed that
he could not speak, but the Gov
ernor went to the chapel anyway
and delivered a talk which was
full of sound advice and which
the people of the state very gen.
orally endorse.
The governor remained on the
ground and gave the strikers to
understand that he would main
tain the dignity of the law and
uphold the president and faculty
Of the college at all hazards.
The college is supported at
great expense by the people of
Mississippi, and it is presumed
that the faculty, with the presi-
dent at the head, shall run the
school. To submit to such in
subordination as that which
seems to prevail is out of the
question. The school had better
be abandoned and the building
utilized for better purposes than
to tolerate such INSTRUMENTATION.
President Hightower, Profess
sor McGruder and Governor
Brewer are entirely right and
the people will back them up.
The cadets who went home
should be taken in hand by their
parents and guardians and forced
to return. The faculty should
receive all of these with the ex-
ception of the senior class, who
should not be permitted to re-
main longer at the college. This
class refused to leave the grounds
and stated that they were not
going but demanded to be rein
stated.
