We notice items, in both the
Yazoo City papers and Jackson

they are pleased to term the dis

the faculty of the |. |. and c.
We have lived here some years
and state most positively no
teacher has ever been dismiss
ed" from this college-except
one. for reasons the president
has been charitable enough to
maintain most rigid secrecy about
The fact is this president is so
cautious, so prudent. so discreet
that he discusses college affairs
with no one-has no confidential
friends besides the trustees, that
what we do learn about the COL
lege, leaks out from the stu
dents and some teachers, for all
know the utter impossibility of
close secrecy, where so many are
interested.
1t is strange that by this time
50 many people are ignorant of
the method of organizing the fac
ulties of the several States Insti-
tutions. The president is held
responsible for everything that
transpires at the col~lege-wheth-
er this one, the A. and M, or
Oxford. therefore he is autho-
-ized to select a faculty, who
comes up to his standard. Then
again that authority was forced
Upon him, several years ago by
claiming the right to
70 or come, any time, and when
t pleased them, saying they were
lot responsible to the president,
tut only to the trustees, that they
nd the president were on equal
ooting. Thus it became neces.
airy to empower the president
With plemary powers, to contract
nth or dismiss teachers. since {
yhen the wheels have been NOV /
,g on without friction. {
We think we have made it I
lain that the governor nor trus-
'es, have no part in the facul- 6
I formation, except when at his /
.n option, the president thinks i
est to consult them. which he J
ten does. a
IT'S strange, but true, that we f
ave known ladies to appear for a
position and bring all sorts of :
e strongest influences to bear a

Away With MIII.arlsm.

TO the Editor Of The Times
There are many evidences that the
war trust and the manufacturers OF
implements and munitions OF war are
trying TO fasten militarism upon this
country, for their own private gain.
While we need an efficient navy 10
protect our coasts and proper coast
defenses, such thing as a large
TO the nation. The celebration of
the 100 years % peace, teaches us
that il is a better plan TO ha>
ternational tIeal4es. me men who
wrote the treaty OF Client were wise
In their day and generation. AS
means OF preventing war, they agreed
that there should be no big guns,
forts, or warships on the boundary
between Canada and the United
States. Who can fail to see the hand
of Providence in this beneficent ar
rangement? In striking contrast TO
this, the present European war clear
~ shows that the war was caused
by keeping the false ideal OF mill
tarism before the so-called Christian
nations of the world. and by putting
faith in the big gun as means or
protection. What an awful failure IL
has been? God has something 10 do
with the ruling OF this world and
big ornaments will not Illustrate His
purposes.
In the enclosed lines / have tried
to present the true view OF militar-
ism which should be taken by the
people OF this country:
THE SONG OF THE WAR LORD.
1 worship god that's fierce and
spirit that's cruel and bold.
Whose golden rule is Might makes
And whose breath is icy and cold.
Ny sword and helmet are polished and
As worship before his shrine;
The trappings OF death are his highest
thought.
And the art of war is divine,
I fight for a culture that's all my own,
Efficiency Is my aim.
But the wounded lamb that bleats for
Is a weaEiing that l dIsdain.
Il spread my. sails 20 the winds OF
deceit
w I'm ncutfdl HdS At the mast
And the bombs OF destruction j strew
in the gate.
As sweep through the stormy blast.
Then why should humanity be in my
code
And what IL virtue 10 me,
And why should l honor my piighted
word.
When I'm lord OF the land and sea?
All hail. all hail TO the God of War.
Who doeth all things we'll
And the widows and orphans and
desolate homes.
That he made with the fires OF hell,

"Good luck to you" shouted
Marvin White, as his pal turned

Dragging himself, his shovel
