Washington, March Ex-senator
Jones, Republican, of Washington, IN
a speech in the Senate today. bitterly
attacked the proposed repeal OF the
tolls exemption clause in the Panama
Canal act. He charged that the Pres
ident,s action was the elimination OF
negotiations with Great Britain for
the preservation of the Monroe doc
trine. threatened by the Mexican sit
uation.
Senator Jones intimated that the re-
neal of this clause was the price OF
non-interference in Mexico by other
foreign powers. He further declared
at is reported as one of the conditions
that Great Britain will seek reparation
on its losses through Confederate
bonds issued during the civil war
which. is successfully applied, woulu
impose a heavy burden on the south
ern states.

SALVATION, THEME
Of EVANGELIST
REV. LEAvEll SAYS 1T COMES By
MERITS OF cHRisT-LARGE
ATTENDANCE. :

Increased attendance and interest
marked the third night of the revival
services at the First Baptist church
last evening. Extra chairs had to be
brought in and the church was filled
to the limit.
Mr.. Scholfield led the singing with
so much enthusiasm that the entire
audience Joined in heartily. A. B..
Hunt sang "How Can I Look at Cal
vary's Cross with much effect
Evangelist Leavell preached on "Sal-
vation." He spoke on the way OF
salvation by the cross, and empha-
sized tremendously that the way OF
life was through the merits of Jesus
Christ, and that it was not by works.
He said baptism and church member
ship were not to bring salvation. That
it was not by sacerdotalism that men
are saved but by the merits Of Jesus
He declared that men sould know that
they were saved. This knowledge was
based on the record OF the New Tes,
lament. He said that Joy of salvation
comes from service. 1t was only when
men were laboring for the Christ that
they enjoyed salvation.
A large number Of persons pledged
themselves to do personal work dur
ing the meetings. Rev. Leavell re
quested as many as had objects oI
persons in whom they were interested
, to write him and tell him about 1t

Pittsburg. March 1S.-'Let's try IL
on the sport page" suggested the
Rev. Singleton Neisser, pastor of the
Fifth Avenue Baptist church of Nc
Keesport, when he took the copy for
his weekly church advertisement
around to the newspapers last Friday.
Seems to me it ought to get some
folks who never see the advertisement
when it goes on the editorial page" he
said.
The experiment was winner.
When the Rev. Mr. Neisser mounted
his pulpit Sunday morning he faced
a record-breaking audience. The con-
gregation included fight fans, basket
ball bugs and dozens Of baseball fol
lowers.
The church advertisement Of this
pastor will appear on the sport pages

Washington, March 1s.-During q
lively debate in the Senate yesterday,
Senator Borah shocked suffrage advo-
Gates on the floor and in the galleries
by declaring 1t was impractical and
impossible for women to obtain the
vote by constitutional amendment. He
predicted that after Is years of vain
endeavor, women would renew their
abandoned request before the people
of the states, because, in seeking an
amendment to the Federal constitution
they had loaded themselves down with
the negro question, the Japanese ques-
ton, and a dozen other state rights
problems.
you will never carry the required
SO states for a constitutional woman
suffrage amendment" said the Sena-
tor. until you repeal the Fifteenth
Amendment"
Asserting that the Fifteenth amend
ment, giving the negro the right to
| vote was a blunder in the first place
i and now a dead letter not, being en-
forced In a single state, Senator Bor.
ah asked whether advocates of the
! woman suffrage amendment, now pend
ing for a moment supposed Southern
States would add 100000 to the list
of those whom they must disfranchise
Violation of law is a bad thing,
he added. at is demoralizing to the
negro race to place in the constitution
the form of rights that we do not
mean to see they shall enjoy"
The Fifteenth amendment, the .Sena
tor declared, was a blunder engen
dered in a spirit of retaliation, with
the result that after the first blush
of satisfaction the North had connived
at the South's violation of it. The
amendment infringed upon the states
rights and might furnish a precedent
for an amendment declaring the right
to hold real estate or attend schoo
should not be denied because of race
or color.

Leaders Think That Amount should
Be In Hand Before Contractors Do
sio--Antieipato no Trouble and De-
lieve Building will be Completed In
Six Months.

Definite plans to go forward at once
with the erection of Hattiesburg's new
$4,000 Y. NJ. C. A. building were for
mulated last night at meeting of
the Board of Directors. A building
committee, composed of H. A. Camp,

bins, DR. c. C. Hightower and v. NJ.
Scanlan was authorized to receive
plans from various architects as early
as possible, select one of the designs
and report back to the board, where
fnal selection will he made.
1t Is estimated by the directors that
not more than one I'onth viii! be re-
quired for architects 10 submit their
plans and the board to make its Sc
lection. Bids for construction then
will be asked for, and by June list at
the latest 1t Is expected actual con-
struction of the building will have been
started.
In the meantime leaders in the en-
terprise will begin campaign TO get
more cash. Only about $1,000 Of the
$4,000 pledged has been paid, and
this has been invested in the lot, which
is unencumbered.
( Little trouble. however is anticipat-
ed in the collection of the remainder
when the work on the building begins.
MANY Of the most prominent and sub
stantial business men Of the city have
not met their notes yet because they
see no reason for having the money
lying idle, and have expressed their
intention of paying the cash when II
Is needed
The directors believe it would be
unvise To begin the construction of the
building with much less than $S'ooo
in hand. as 1t is the object OF the di
reectors to avoid having to pay OUT
for interest any Of the money that mas
been pledged. $4,000, they estimate
will easily take care of the puildine
expenses for the first few months ano
as the notes fall due at the rate OF
about $4,000 a month thereafter. they
will have no trouble meeting every

summarized Child Labor from a
Southern point of view.
I'VE southerners," he said, ARE not
Indifferent to the rights of childhood; ;
perhaps we are victims of an accumu-
lation Of facts and circumstances over
which we have not had control. AS
successors to the civilization Of fifty
years ago, we still feel that there is a
, difference in children, that the poor
child was born to toll and should be
set at it early. Our people have al
/ ways been kind and charitable but
, they have never been just. The chill
.dren of the poor have been allowed to
work because we have known OF
j thought little of absolute human
/ rights. Furthermore, We do not prop
erly understand the laws of communi
! ty progress or know what we are do
ing. We have no reliable data be
! cause there have been no investiga
tions. Until recently we have resent
ed any suggestions that we needed tc
learn.
/ "We have allowed ourselves to be
deluded because our manufacturers
have said things we're alright and We
have respect for men of influence and
wealth. If we have cried out against
the bad rich, 1t has been because il
our opinions, most of the bad rich live
next to Wall Street. To appoint ar
inspector for our own mill villages
would be reflection upon the word
and character Of good men.
But above all, the reason child la
Dor continues is that the manufacturer
wants the child in his mill. Since he
considers child labor of such vital i'm
portance that he Is willing to go te
the legislature to fight for the right t.
work a child, you need not be sur
prised that we still permit a large
percentage of our children to be taker
from school and placed at work, ant
that on any work day in the cottor
mills, week in and week out, hundreds
of girls in short dresses may be fount
standing eleven hours"
