by Capt William Dennis and several
minor changes were made. Late TO-
day the tender City of Hartford went
to City Island and towed the Vanitie
down toward Throggs Neck to have
the yachts compasses adjusted. The
Nanitie returned to City Island an
chorage under her jib. A new bow
spirit two feet shorter than the old
one is ready to be fitted on the Vani-
tie. Booms and gaffs are the same
length as originally designed.

the question of Constitutionalist rep
resentation here, the mediators and
the American and Mexican delegates
spent their time today working out
details of the general peace plan.
There were no conferences.
All principals were anxious to hear
some definite work about the Con-
stitutionalists, for there can be no
definite developments until their in
tentions are known.

Might as Well Tell the Truth.

Speaking of the horrors of war, we
are now told that for a time the i'm
portation of Russian caviar will be
greatly diminished.
We likewise learn that French olive
oil, French sardines, French cham
payne, Rhine wine, genuine Wurzbur-
ger, and Swiss cheese will also be
scarce for while.
To some that may be sad news
However, there is no reason why the
entire country should be plunged in
gloom over the outlook. In fact, there
is ample ground for cheerfulness when
you consider that the Russian caviar
sold in this country is made from stur-
geon roe caught in the great lakes,
that the south's own cotton seed sup.
plies most of the French olive oil,
that California, New Jersey and mid
die west grapes are the basis for the
greager quantity Of French cham
payne sold in America, that our French
sardines are natives of the Newfound-
land banks, that our Rhine wine and
genuine Wurzburger are New York
or st. Louis or Milwaukee products,
and that our Swiss cheese has never
heard a yodel nor seen the snowy
peaks of the Matterhorn.
Yes, indeed, the horrors of war are
truly horrible. The American manu-
facturers of Christmas toys will now
be obliged to erase that "Made in
Germany" fiction and label them
"Made in the United States. Jack

write his name like a scholar ut the
bottom Of contract to keep peace
with the American eagle.
The distinctive feature in these new
treaties, the thing that makes them
markedly different from the arbitra-
ton treaties that have failed to arbi-
trate, is the establishment Of perma-
nent commissions of inquiry to which
shall be referred for one whole year
all matters Of disagreement which
the diplomats Of the interested coun-
tries cannot adjust.
This one year of waiting is the
touchstone which is trusted to bring
about a lasting peace. The present
plan is, when nations become Offend
ed, to strike while the iron Of temper
is hot. The offense and the sharp re-
tort are followed instantly by the
call to arms; and the war is on be-
fore the nation understands the sup
posed cause.
The Bryan plan of one year for con-
sideration and introspection is moth
ing more nor less than a cooling-0ff
period during which passions may die
down and evil tempers be Assuaged
We all know that the things we do
on the impulse Of the moment, under
the influence Of temper, are things
We would not do next week or next
month, when the burst of passion
has died to an even pulse-beat.
And so it is with nations. War
causes look very big when we stand
close up to them, but they grow small
err as We get further away; and this
year of waiting and considering will
change the angles of our viewpoints.
1t will be hard matter to go to war
with nation afser we get over being
angry with it.
In all of his life there is, perhaps
nothing that Secretary Bryan has &C
complished that is a greater personal
qualification or public benefit than the
formation Of these peace pacts. Many
newspapers that in the beginning were
inclined to make light of the scheme
are now loud in their approval.
The present war has taught us
large lesson. If the European nations
had been obliged to wait year after
the killing Of the Austrian heir before
rushing to arms, the death angel
would not now be reaping his record
crop on the hills and plains of CONT
mental Europe.
The coming years will acclaim Mr..
Bryan's wisdom, for these treaties,
though but scraps Of paper" will
stay the steps Of Mars and spike the
siege guns Of the Krupps.

Mattress Gift to Us.

Grass is the forgiveness OF Nature
her constant benediction. Fields
trampled with battle, saturated with
blood, torn with the rits of cannons,
grow green again wf4f grass, and
carnage is forgotten. Streets aban-
doned by traffic become Gass grown
like rural lanes, and oblitefsted: For
ests decay, harvests perish, flowers
vanish. but grass is immortal. Be-
leagured by the seven hosts Of winter,
it withdrzws into the impregnahe'
foftresses Of its subterranean vitality
ton Of spring. SOwn by the winds,
by the wandering birds, propagated
by the subtle horticulture of the ele-
ments, which are its ministers and
servants, 1t softens the nude outline
Of the world. It's tenacious fibers
hold the earth in place and prevent
its soluble components from washing
into the wasting seas. It invadeS the
solitudes Of the deserts, climbs the In
accessible slopes and forbidden pin
nacles of mountains, mcdifies climates
and determines the history, character
and destiny of nations. Unobstrusfve
and patient, it has immortal vigur
and aggression. Banished from the
thoroughfare and the field, it bides it,
time to return, and when vigilance is
relaxed or the dynasty has persisted
it silently assumes the throne from
which it has been expelled, but which
it never abdicates. It bears no blaz-
onry Of bloom to charm the senses
with fragrance or spTendor, but its
homely hue is more enchanting than
the lily or the rose. It yields no fruit
in earth or air, and yet, should its
harvests fail for a single year, IA
mine would depopulate the world

bits of Land


Mans first impulse, after that to
start a family, was to seize private
habitation Of his own wherein to es-
tablish what we who speak English
term "home"-and after his home his
SHOP"
Through the ages he wanted LAND
TO hunt on, to shepherd his flock
in, to till, to dig into, to put great
factories on, to make the sites for his
leafy shelter, his thatch hut, his cot
tage, his bungalow, his mansion.
He wanted it for his OWN. He
seized it from he wilderness where he
could, from weaker men when he had
to. He bought it when the times de-
manded, with the service Of his sword
or with his cash. He wanted a spot
from which to go out on his hunt or
his foray, to which to come back when
tagged and weary and old.
And by and large he has GOT the
land.
The WANT for II is as old as hu-
mainly itself, as dependable as the
turn of the seasons, as intolerant Of
destruction as human passion itself.
Benjamin Franklin somewhere
pointed out that for all practical pur-
poses the Lord finished the world be-
fore He began on Adam-and know
ing the relation between supply and
demand, he advised his friends to
BUY LAND.
The land we have about us here In
Mississippi Is about all the land we
will EVER have for US, and our chill
dren, and our children's children, to
get our hands on, to build our hSfSes
and our shops on.
Do you see that point?
BY laws as immutable as the laws
of the universe, applied to the aver
aee--LAND is the ONE PURCHASE
on which over considerable term Of
years, no man can err when he plays
the BULL" SIDE OF THE MAR
KET.
The man who buys hig hit Of land"
who builds his home on it, puts out an
anchor to windward that will hold him
steady In many storm.
It makes him better citizen. 1t
makes him a better husband and a

Paets Of Peace.

AT least two of the warning nations
'sf Europe must be anibidextrous. 10,
while they are fighting with their
right hand on the banks Of the Aisne
they are signing peace pacts with the
United States in Washington.
These peace treaties are the very
acme OF Secretary Bryan's ambition.
His brightest dream is to bind the ma
tions Of the world TO this government
by such pledges as will insure us a
long, II, indeed, not a perpetual peace.
War is his abomination; good will and
friendship form the goal Of his dear
est hopes.
During the past spring and summes
these pacts Of peace were signed with
% other countries Of South and Cen

England, France, Spain and China set

Prohibition carried in Arizona, Col
orado, Washington and Oregon. But
if they do, as they have done in Ten
nessee, elect men who are at heart OPP
posed to the law to enforce the law,
it will not be worth the paper upon

law in Mississippi. - Hsttiesburg
