COSMOPOLITAN DAMASCUS.
The Oldest City on Earth, It Show
All the Worlds Peoples.


At last we are set down in the midst
of Damascus. city that can claim
life without break from its founding
back in the dim dawn of the worlds
history. When Abram crossed the des'
ert from Haran 1000 years ago this
city was standing Genesis xiv. 10. and
XIV. q. She dates back to the time OF
the Pharaohs in Egypt. In fact, she
was old when Greece and Rome were
striplings in years. Rome may be
termed the Eternal City. but Damas-
Gus is twice as old. and though her
streets have run red with blood of
battle and rapine many times, she
has not been overthrown.
Babylon is an heap in the desert,
and Tyre ruin on the Shore" but
Damascus remains.
Was there ever such place to see
the nations of the earth parading to,

motley crowds of Persians. Moors. AT

Optimism Of Emerson.
Thomas Carlyle's friendship with
Ralph Waldo Emerson is a matter of
history, but Charles Eliot Norton tells
in his published letters that Carlyle
marveled at the optimism of the Amer
lean philosopher. Writing in 1873,
Norton says: las we We're sitting to-
gether just after my coming In this
afternoon. Carlyle spoke OF Emerson.
There's great contrast between
Emerson and myself. He seems vera
content with life and takes much sat
isfaction in the world. especially in
your country. One would suppose to
hear him that We had no troubles there
and no share in the darkness that
hangs over these old lands. It's a
vera strikin' and curious spectacle to
behold a man so confidently cheerful
as Emerson in these days.

Aim to Start Championship

Chicago, Sept. 2s.-Play in the
worlds championship games this fall
may start on October S, one day after
the American and National league
seasons are brought to a close. This
is according 10 President B. B. John
son Of the American circuit and Ma
tional commission committeeman who
yesterday said there was no truth to
the reports that October 20 had been
decided as the day for starting the
big show.
Finish as Early as Possible.
1T is our aim to- start and finish
the series as early as possible" said
Johnson yesterday. l believe we can
arrange to play the first game on
Thursday, October 8. There is nc rea-
son why a day should intervene be-
tween the close Of the aso and the
inaugural of uhe fall games
In the event OF the Braves and Ath-
letics being contenders for the big
,title two games will be played con-
secutively in each. city instead of al
ternating each day, as was the case
between New York and Philadelphia.
The place for the opening game will
be settled by the flip of a coin.
Prohibit Use Of Emory Ball.
johnson has sent a notice to each
club calling attention to the fact that
diamond strife in the American league
prohibits the use Of the ''emory BALI
or the sand paperNball.' Ray Keat-
ing, Of the Yankees, recently used
the emery bali with deadly
effect against the Mackmen and short
ly afterward Joe Wood resorted to a
similar mode of attack against the
same foe.
Connie Mack did not fancy being the
victim of this variety Of attack, so
appealed to the league president. He
telegraphed a protest of the game
los1 to Resting. Connie neglected
to follow up with an affidavit, how
ever, so the protest was not allowed.

SHALL 1T BE WAR?

AT this writing congress has not declared war against Mexico,
yet on yesterday (Tuesday) our troops landed at Vera Cruz where
they took the custom house after having lost 4 men and hav-
ing 20 more wounded while the Mexcans lost in killed and wounded
200. 1t is possible, barely possible, that there will be no further
hostiities but we hardly see how such a result may be attained with
out dishonor to our country. The landing of L. S. troops at Vera
Cruz was not alone because The Mexcans would not salute our flag
TO atone for arresting some of our marines who we're ashore at Tam
pico, but was because of a string of events dating back to the time
Huerta murdered his friend, Madero, the then president of Mexico,
and usurped the presidency. This government has done all that it
could honorablv do to avoid war. The truth is President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan have been too tolerant, so the jingost has said,
but to our mind they have taken safe ground all along. These two
men have had a responsibility in this crisis the like of which has not
been known before, except during the months Immediately preced-
ing our Civil War, in the history of this nation. President Wilson
has realized fully that war means boodshed, il means tears for
wives, mothers. fathers, sisters and other loved ones at home. 1t
means that many of our men must fill graves in Mexico, yet there
are things worse than all these and if the worst comes, the manhood
of our country will be equal to the demands of the hour. They
have never fatered in the past. They will not now. If it must be a
fight, Uncle sam will do the job well but we do not want any more
territory Let US hope yet that the God of all nations may see
proper to avert war.

JACKSON TO

Jackson is always doing the entertaining act. The fact that that
city is host so often it would appear that it would hardly know
how to keep house without company. And it is no half way enter
tainer, either. 1t is a gracious host. 1t is a mighty good town. 1t
is true some awtully "cussed' things happen there. but a few placid
moves of Fred Sulens pen and a few roars from the sanctum of the
dignifed editor of the Clarion-Ledger soon make one forget it all
and pass on to the next act. AS the dusky divine who dates back
to Ham would say, what We were about to remark about was the
teachers association and the press convention. AS there ar more
teachers than are editors in Mississippi, we think it not safe to say
that no gathering exceeds in Importance the convocaton of the
press but no violence can come to us If we do say that the teachers
association and the press association do want their real worth appre-
ciated and that there Is hardly any body or profession that gets to-
gether and resolutes more than these two organizations do. But
Jackson viii give them a good time. We have noted the program
for the press association and must commend those who selected the
speakers. We are indebted to our friend Blakeslee for a special in
vtation. On to Jackson.
