Wars Changes.

The appointment Of Jews as officers III 'n'
Russian army, the promise of civil rights to the
race the prospective abolition Of the pale, are IN
stances of the good that may come out OF tne
war. Looking at it optmistically, war is not
all loss It breaks down old barriers ana opens
new avenues for human progress. 1t gives
new sense of values When life itself is cheap
when homes are abandoned when blow after dow
falls in numbing success sion, institutions that once
looked precious seem easy to dispense with. Oiu
preiudices disappear in a night. The despised Jew
fights as bravely as the Slav, and a frstclass
fighting man is as good as any man in the woriu
when nations existence its vital interests are
at stake.
II is because Of the retaliation that goes on III
war. because men see things in their essential
light when brought back TO the primal struggle
for bare place in the sun that the most hope
ful predictions are heard Of the consequences that
will flow from the present great struggle such
as that this will be the last great war and that
Germany is beaten militarism will come to an
end and that democracy will go forward on the
powder carts now being hurried over Europe.
Not only does a remaking Of geographical maps
usually follow great war, but change taxes
place as wen in the boundary lines of ideas, nstl-
tutions and ancient prejudices. The decline OF
anti-Semitism in Russia is the first step in this
kind Of new map making.

THE RETURN OF THE GOTH"
With Some Comment Upon the Ger
mans at Manila.
0 d. Editor of NM Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir. After reading the letter of
Heny Wood in to-days issue of your
este emed paper, beg to criticise the
amount OF space devoted by Mr.. Wood
70 condemning your excellent cartoons,
1.-THE Return of the Goth" and "WOm-
Ell and Children First" as against the
feeble attempt to justify the vandal-
ism and barbarity Of the German
forces at Louvain.
II is from such men as Richard
Harding Davis and other Americans
who are on the spot that we can OBJ
tain truthful statements of the pres
ent conditions, and these facts will
strike home to the average citizen, de-
spite the narrow prejudice of one or
two individuals who may be Overawed
by the might and power Of the Ger
man Emperor.
II, as this correspondent states, Ger
many is a nation competent to teach
us "better things" such behavior in
war is something we trust the United
States will never learn.
In conclusion, instead of referring
TO Great Britain's behavior in the old
days of the Civil War, it might be as
well to remember how the British ships
cleared for action in Manila Bay dur
ing the Spanish-AmeTican War to show
to Germany that, whatever happened
in the past. they were there to see
fair play and clear fighting space
for America. NUNYBY, J.

The Presidents Decision Not to Stump

It is a sensible and prudent resolve Of MI W.T.

congressional candidates. The November elections

As for the effect Of the Presidents decision upon

plea for granted, The present war; is far from

TO its present confines. At any mthnent the Tort

"ALL Is WELL"

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: While writing his I'm Me-
moriam" in the early 40's, had Tenny-
son foreseen the war in which Europe
is now plunged, and had he wished to
leave words which might serve as a
legacy of courage and cheer not only
for his own countrymen but for friends
everywhere of free and just govern
ment, could he have done so more fit
tingly than he did when he penned the
following lines?
Yes, all is we'll, tho faith and form
Be sunder'd in the night of fear;
Well roars the storm to those that
hear
A deeper voice across the storm,
Proclaiming social truth shall spread,
And Justice, ev'n tho thrice again
The red fool-fury of the Seine
Should pile her barbados with dead.
But i'll for him that wears a crown,
And him, the lazar, in his rags:
They tremble; the sustaining crags,
The spires of ice are toppied down,
And molten up, and roar in food;
The fortress crashes from on high,
The brute earth lightens to the sky,
And the vast Aeon sinks in blood,
And compass'd by the fires of He'll;
While thou, dear spirit, happy star,
O'erlook'st the tumult from afar,
And smilest, knowing all is well.

THROW CHRISTIANITY OVER"
Who Believes in the Doctrine of Non.
Resistance?
Tn the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Now, isn't it time to throw
Christianity overheard? Nobody be-
lieves in the gospel of non-resistance
as preached by the founder of Chris
tianity. Servia is Christian, but it
takes up the sword against Austria.
Austria is Christian, but it attacks
Servia Russia, Germany, Belgium,
France and England all profess to be
Christian nations, but each takes up
the sword in utter disregard Ct
Christ's warning: "They that take
the sword shall perish by the sword"
Even America took up the sword
against Huerta. If war is bad thing
hypocrisy is infinitely worse. Better
plain bad man than a hypocrite
How many Christian people believe in
turning the left cheek when struck on
the right? Come, let US be candid
We believe in one God, the God who
is on the side of the heaviest Rrtil-
lery. That's about all we believe in.
We believe in defence; the defence of
life, Of home, of country. The founder
of Christianity did not. Let us resur-
rect the religion of old Rome and be
men, not hypocrites.

every time a waiter wants carl ne has to walk

we were told to keep the cards on the tables where

Toxic, Feb. 1O.-The Japanese

The doors opened at eight this morn

Instead of the ancient lanterns, for

Special to The Netcs.
Jackson, Miss, Feb. 10.-Mississip-
pi bankers drew first blood in the
fight against the deposit guarantee
system when the Kyle banking bill
was called up in the house this morn
ing. A resolution giving the commit
tee from the State Bankers Associa-
tion the privilege of addressing the
house in opposition to the guarantee
plan carried by n to AZ.
While this was not an actual test
of strength, several members voting
for resolution as an act of courtesy
who oppose the guarantee system, the
bankers were jubilant over the results.
Advocates Of the guarantee system
had their inning when, amidst wild
cheering, resolution was adopted in
viting Lieut.. Gov Bilbo to address
the house in answer to arguments of
the bankers. At eleven o'clock the
fight started with committee of
bankers and Lieut.. Gov Bilbo in the
speakers stand. The galleries were
filled to overfiowing.
The first argument against the qua
rantee plan was offered by President
d. w. Griffith, of the First National
Bank, of Vicksburg. He was followed
by other bankers and the address of
Bilbo in answer was the concluding
feature of the forenoon session.
Consideration of the Kyle bill
brought the largest attendance of the
session, 116 members answering roll
call, Very little headway was made
On the bill during the forenoon. The
deposit guarantee clause may not be
reached for several days. There will
be number of conflicts over minor
sections of the measure.
The first feature before the house
this morning was a resolution seeking
to amend the constitution by provid-
ing that nine or more jurors may rem
der verdict in civil cases. The resolu-
tioR passed on the first reading 81
to IA.
In the senate the forenoon was occu-
pied with 9. debate on the bill creating
new county of Harris from portions
of Kinds and Rankin, with Jackson as
the county seat. A vote on the meas
ure will not be reached until Wednes-
day. Advocates of the new county
claim decisive majority. Concur
rent resolutions were introduced in
the senate increasing the supreme
court to six members.
