MRS. WARD OPPOSES
 SUFFRAGE FUR WOMEN
SAYS BALLOT SHOULD LIE WHERE THE PHYSICAL FORCE
 OF THE COUNTRY LIES.

Paris, March 14.-Mrs Humpmel Ward has written Nj. Ferdinand Buis son, the leader in the Chamber o Deputies of the group working active " for womens suffrage. in opposi tion to giving women Parliamentary suffrage in either England or France
 While a strong support of the nun icipal vote for women, she declares that Parliamentary Suffrage ls de prived of it's ultimate meaning if it has not the physical force of men be- hind it." and 1t should therefore be confined to men only

 First. 1t would disturb the re ation of the physical force of the 1lntry in it's political force; and in these days when reform and legisla- ton can be brought about by many other engencies acting upon Parlia- ment the vote acting as an instru- ment of reform.

Considering the emendous questions, in which great Ludies of men are ranged on either side. that have already arisen or are steadily developing with the de9el. Opemen of democracy, 1t seems to me more important than ever that tae political vote should indicate whera the physical force of the country lies; a though of course the effort of every good citizen will bring the fo:ces et reason and justice to bear upol that vote.

money crop.
The condition by which we are confronted, is
inexorably discomforting.
The surroundings should impress upon us the
importance of e%conomising wherever practicable;
should emphasize the prudence-aye, the impera-

Common sense, to say nothing of common OBJ
servation, practical personal experience and the
wholesome teachings of political economy, ought
to persuade common intelligence that the surest
road to profitable cotton growing lies through re-
duction of the supply, by reducing the acreage and
producing enough forage for all farm animals and
in intelligent efforts to raise at home. as far as can
wisely be attempted, all household, and family,
and plantation, supplies; and in doing such other
things as can safely be done to tighten labor and

Hon. Walter Clark on
the Cotton Situation

To the people of Mississippi:
I returned from Texas after a
week spent in discussing the ques-
tion of no acreage and I want to
say that after the discussion, a
vote being taken. 95 per cent of all
the people Immediately signed
petitions to their representatives
in the legislature directing them
to support a bill to prohibit the
growing of cotton next year. All
of the other gentlemen who went
into other parts of Texas have had
thesame experience. Messrs. Noel,
Jordan and Sherrard are at Aus
tin and hope to get the matter be-
fore the legislature at an early
period. However, the metropo-
Titan press in Texas, as here, con-
tinues to say that such a step is
unconstitutional, impossible, ETC.,
when we all know the constitution
has never yet stood between
friends.
Now our efforts have stopped
nothing else. Everything has
been done that can be done, and
cotton continues to decline. I feel,
however, that a speculative de-
mand will now appear and absorb
all cotton offered at present prices
This, however, will not help us.
If we part with this crop at such
ruinous prices, half our people
will be bankrupt.
There is one thing, above all 9TH
ers, that is etfecting the price of
cotton--the uncertainty of next
years crop. This removed, and in
unmistakable terms, by legislative
enactment, an immediate advance
is inevitable. Now, should every
southern legislature Immediately
pass prohibitory laws, no unrea-
sonable advance should be expect
ed. Trade conditions do not justi.
fly any abnormal prices. l do be-
lieve that the crop would average
II or 15 cents. 1t is silly now to
talk about an early ending of the
war. All authorities now agree
that the war will last indefinitely,
and, with half the world at war,
and moratoriums declared in all
important countries of the world,
we have now enough cotton to sup,
ply the demands of spinners for
two years.

never even reduced the price.
When my product was not taken,
| simply closed down and there is
not a manufacturing plant of any
kind anywhere in the world that
does not do the same thing; and
why the farmer, the d fool
that he is supposed to be, should
sacrifice what he has and 90 and
make more to be sacrificed, | have
never yet been able to understand.
For the first time we have an op-
%portunity to eliminate the boil
weevil without cost to anyone.
This means more than a dozen cot.
ton crops to Mississippi and all
the eastern cotton-growing states
and should be taken advantage of
at this time.
Now as to Gov. Brewers refusal
to call the legislature of Mississip-
pi together, there is no necessity
for such a move at this time. A
legislative session is expensive and
not necessary until either South
Carolina or Texas agree to act.
Should either of these state take
this action, | know Gov. Brewer
well enough to say that he will call
a special session of the Mississippi
legislature if the people desire it.
In the meanwhile, I would urge
upon the people of Mississippi to
meet in their respective counties
at 10 o'clock a. M, on Tuesday,
the Goth inst, to perfect their or.
CARNATIONS and sign petitions to
the governor, requesting him to
call a special session of the legis-
lature, send these petitions to me
and at the proper time | will pre-

The conspiracy to hold down the
price of cotton by Eastern spin
ners and Northern spectators has
been exposed by the publication
of an appeal from English spinners
to Gov. Brewer, of Mississippi,
asking that shipments be made
direct from the plantations to the
British seaports. If Southern cot.
ton can be kept out of the clutches
of American toll takers and OBJ
structionists it will be well for the
cotton growing states. = News

The citizens, the vast majority of %them-burn-

The retreat was ordered and a sore retreat it
proved. 1t me mt facing death in a form,which
honor alone could see, but of which fame could not

Sadly their faces were homeward turned.
For many, in fact, for the vast majority, there
was no homecoming.
Many started; few arrived.
Thousands unable to withstand the terrors of
the Russian Winter-the ice-gorged rivers; the
keen and cutting sleet; the snowflakes, riding
upon biting blasts and falling 50 fast the very air

sault of an army with banners.

veterans of the mighty Napoleon had to yield.
They met a fate similar to that of the ~particip-

AS TO ADVICE.

THE BEACON does not at any time wish either
to appear self-laudatory or to pose as self-depreca-
tory for the one, it thinks is as bad as the other.
1t is, therefore, in no spirit of self-praise that
we again, today, call attention to, and repeat, the
advice heretofore given in these columns upon 40.
%ricultural topics.
By those suggestions, which sprang from the
most intense interest in ourselves, as well as in the
veal of the community at large, we firmly stand.
for as the agriculturist sinks or swims so fares
each and all of us.

AT the risk of repetition which may prove I'M

IL the advice volunteered is accepted. and adont-
ed, by our readers among the owners of land and
the tillers of the soil, well and good: if it is reject
ed and some other policy less provident is nnrsl,ed
we fear another year will find them deeper in the
slough of despond than is even the case at present.
Inc nigh prices OF meat and cereals and other
necessities which enter into the cost of living and
the great decline in the market value of cotton

THE STRIFE ON THE CONTINENT.

In Europe, the war is still fercely raging.
The accounts we receive are conflicting and
their accuracy, therefore. is not to be relied upon.
All reports, however, agree in representing the
armies to be close enough to each other for oppos-
ing men occasionally to come together in deadly
hand to hand combat. Then the fight is described
to be f%erocious, as though the combatants were
wild beasts angered and excited to the most intense
state of savage ferceness.
The signs of the times betray no evidence that
the end is near; no pleasing prospect of an ap-
preaching peace is anywhere in sight.
Each of the parties to the bitter, inexcusable
struggle is playing the game for all it is worth;
and pitiful as it everywhere is, the big pity of it
lies in this circumstance: the persons whose lives
and limbs are most endangered and who must bear
the heaviest burdens preceding and during the
battles, are the men who had the least to do with
bringing on the war and will have the least to
say when, and upon what terms and stipulations,
peace may be agreed upon and established.
Winter IS coming on apace. Already the pinch
ings of frost are being felt where the fighting is
being done.
A few more weeks, at farthest, and the storms
of winter will be upon the opposing armies.
And then:-cold and hunger, unspeakable and
unbearable.

conquests.
But, alas a cruel disappointment was awaiting
