SOME OBJECTIONS
To the Re-cstabl;sk-rent Of the
Pool Room in Tupelo.

After Interviewing a number of citi-
zens to get their opinions in regard to
the re-establishment of a pool oom in
Tupelo. l give as a concensus of opinion
Of thinking people, the following:
Il oppose the pool room because |
have never known a boy whose life was
made cleaner, more honorable or bet
ter by the association found there,
while have known many who have
started their downward careers by the
pool room route"
Il oppose the pool room because it is
usually a hanging out place for bows
without jobs and who spend their spare
money there. This money could be
used more wisely"
IT oppose the pool room because it
was the cause of my boy loosing his
Job. The fascination of the game was
so great that he neglected his employ
er's business
Il oppose the pool room because it is
usually an adjunct of the saloon.
Birds of a feather i will flock to-
gether.'"
81 oppose the pool room because in a
majority of them there is in the back
ground. if not openly, an element OF
gambling, and often of drinking"
81 oppose the pool room because &C
cording to a statement made by the Of
icers of the town, it has been the
cause of more trouble than any institu.
ton in the town of Tupelo."
Il oppose the pool room because it
helps a young man to form bad habits.
81 oppose the pool room because it
keeps my husband down town at
night"
| hope the voters will consider the
foregoing when they go to the polls on
January 25. A TUPELO MOTHER.

our SPECIAL EDITION..

In this issue the Journal en-
deavors to set forth Tupelo. her
business men and her enter
prises. This work, in a large
measure, has been cotton up by
Messrs. Fields and Willis The
CO operation of our people has
not been as general as it should
have been. Like every enter
prise seeking to advertise the
town and promote the general
good, there are always some who
decline to lend a helping hand.
With this class it is simply a
question of business and they
do not feel that they could be
personally benefited by joining
such a movement.
The edition is not just what
we would like to have had, as
we have been disappointed in
securing cuts which would have
added a great deal to the at
Effectiveness of the paper. The
weather was bad and good
photographs could not be Sc
cured. WithaI, however, we
feel that the paper reflects credit
on the enterprising citizens Of
the place who are always ready
to do a full share in it's upbuild-
ing.
The Journal takes special pride
in being able to state that all the
mechanical work was done in the
Office. Under the direction of
Mr.. D. C. Williams the work was
prosecuted, and we take this
opportunity of publicly congratu-
lating him upon his skill and
taste, which is of the highest
class in the printers art.

MARRIAGE AS 1T IS TODAY.
Women Too Busy With Interests Out
side the Home.

Since all time the happiness that at
tends marriage has been uncertain.
Men and women expect SO much and
often give so little. Disappointment is
all too common. for the average young
individual expects perfection and finds
poor human nature.
mo man is Il hero to his valet" runs
the bitter old French proverb. 1t is
perhaps as hard to be hero in the
eyes of the woman a man has married
five years after marriage. Familiarity
breeds contempt. 1t is hard to laugh
not once. but many times, at the same
Jest. at the same old story as our moth
ers did. In the present day that is not
even attempted.
Most women and great many men
only try to please before, not after,
marriage, and SO marriage is not as
happy as it used to be.
Marriage formerly among women
was looked upon as a profession. Now
1t is only an incident. and an incident
that need not continue unless it means
sugar and spice and all that's nice to
tuC WoilIdh. lOlit 10 OLLCH thC
last place where wife is to be found
The modern woman is often so busy
that she cannot live at home. She
must sell roses for hospitals, organize
relief for strikers. Stun among the des
titute and leave her husband and chill
dren to look out for themselves.
This is not quite for the happiness OF
the world, beca use the right center of
wOman's life is her home. and when
that is vacant the cupboard Of the af
fections becomes bare. Remember. aft
er all is said and done. 1t is the man
who works for the woman. 1t is he
that tolls for the bower and for the
comforts of his wife. 1t Is therefore
not only foolish. but not feir. II, when
he returns home. the bower Is always
empty.

MISS LOU ROGERS.

A signature rather new in the car
tOon world is that of Lou Rogers"
When this name first began to appear
In the corner of breezy, up to the min
ute cartoons seen in newspapers and
n-gazines the public. and particularly
that part of it composed of brothers Of
the caricaturiSt cult. began to wonder
who this man Rogers was.
Great was their amaZement when the
truth leaked out that woman was
the power behind the pen-a tiny lit
tie woman at that. at least in physical
proportions. but with brain stuffed
full of original ideas that any arrived
cartooniSt might envy.
And the wonder was heightened
when it became known that this young
woman up to few years before her
work appeared had spent most of her
life in "A Maine lumber camp. where her
father was employed. The force and
meaning of cartoon had never been
explained to Miss Rogers. To the lum-
herman they were merely funny pic
lures caricaturing a subject or situa-
ton. but the girl of the Limberlost"
sensed them and determined to make
her impressions of current events
known to the world through the car
toon medium.
How to get enough technical art
knowledge to reproduce these ideas on
paper was the problem.
That this training has been gained
one has only to see the work now being
accomplished by this plucky girl.
Miss Rogers is an ardent suffragist,
and many Of her best cartoons are to
be found in magazines published by
the cause.

WOMEN.

The mistakes OF woman re
suit almost always from her faith
In the good and her confidence
in the truth.
Woman is a charming creature,
who changes her heart as easily
as her gloves.
The man who can govern Il wo-
man can GOV lrn a nation.
In the elevated order of ideas
the life of man is glory, the life
of woman is love.
The Indian axiom, DO not
strike even with n flower wo.
man guilty Of a hundred crimes"
is my rule of conduct,
Wheu women love us they for
give us everything, even our
crimes. When they do not love
us they give us credit for moth
ing, rot even for our virtues,
Women are constantly the
dupes or else the victims of their
constituencies.
When woman pronounces the
name of man but twice a day
there may be some doubt as to
the nature of her sentiment-but
three times = BalZac.
