which 1,196 were dry and 1,133 wet,
making dry majority of So. At the
November election the total vote cast
in Mt. Vernon was 2,4S7. The vote
Tuesday was 1853 less than was cast
in November.
At the Beal law election in Clinton
township, also held Tuesday, the dry
majority was 1873. The total vote in
Clinton township was 41S. At the No
vember election the total vote in this
township was $50.
There was widespread interest
Tuesday evening in the result of the
special election. The counting of the
ballots in the several precincts of the
city was made very rapidly. The Mt.
Vernon Telephone company gathered
the returns promptly and its operators
were kept veyI busy giving out the

trails = Express DlsapprovaI Of op-
erations Of BeIligerent Warshlps In
American Waters.
Washington, Dec. 9.-Twenty nations
Of the western hemisphere expressed
their disapproval Of the effects of op-
erations Of the European belligerents
in the waters of the two Americas
and appointed commission Of diplo-
mats to formulate practical steps CON
templating a more vigorous assertion
Of the rights Of neutrals.
Gathered around an oval table in
the magnificent Pan-American Union
building, the diplomatic representa-.
tives Of the American republics, most
Of them under specific instructions
from their governments, urged unit
ed action by the nations of this hemi-
sphere to restore trade and remove
some Of the burdens placed on COM
merce by the European war.
It was the first international con-
ference Of neutral nations which had
assembled in any part Of the globe
since the European war began, anc
irrespective of Its possible accom-
plishments during the present conflict
was regarded as the birth of a new
movement in international law for
the definition of the right of the neu-
tral as opposed to the right Of the
belligerent.
Underlying the several speeches
made by the diplomats was note of
warning that the presence of bellig-
erent warships in the western hemi.
sphere already had produced grave
complications between American ma
tions and European powers, demon
strating the vital need Of Pan-Ameri-
can solidarity.
Secretary Bryan made the opening
speech, pointing out that the United
States sympathized deeply with the
plight Of it's neighboring republics,
and declaring the innocent nations
should not be forced to suffer for the
acts of the belligerents

WILSON'S MESSAGE
TO BUSINESS men
Says Road How Lies Clear and
Firm to Trade.

Washington, Dec. 9. - President
Wilson plans to use every govern
ment agency that may be employed
by him to encourage business in the
United States. He Is convinced that
big business and little is about to en-
ter ON prosperous era and he be-
neves 1t to be the duty Of the govern
mont to lend helping hand. Evil
6ence that the material welfare of
the country lies heavily on the presi-
dents mind is found in a brief state
ment that was .interpolated at the
last moment in the address that he
read to the joint session Of congress.
The president said:
"Our program Of legislation as to
business is now virtually completed.
1t has been put forth, as we intend
ed, as a whole and leaves no conjec-
ture as to what Is to follow. the
road at last lies both clear and firm
to business. 1t is a road which it
can travel without fear Of embarrass-
Ment. It Is the road to ungrudging,
unclouded success. In 1t every honest
man, every man who believes tnat
the public interest is part Of his own
interest. may walk with perfect con-
fdence."
Democratic leaders were confident
that this assurance that no further
legislation affecting business will be
passed in the remaining days of the
administration will help a lot.

SAFETY INSPECTOR.

Due. it is said, to the desire OF
railroad men throughout the state
10 have an inspector of safety equip
ment to regularly inspect the grab
irons, hand holds. power brakes and
automatic couplers on the railroads
of this state, Representative G. Har-
wood Koppel will introduce a bill
in the May session Of the General
Assembly creating the office of state
inspector of equipment and operation
of safety devices.
The duties of this officer as out
lined by Mr. Koppel shall be to travel
over the state and make periodic in
spections of the equipment of the
roads insofar as safety appliances
are concerned. 1t IL said that repre-
sensations have been made to Mr.
Koppel by railroad employees to the
effect that many lives have been
needlessly sacrificed because there
was no person authorized by state
law to inspect and condemn obso-
lete safety devices and that many
roads are operating equipment that
could not be operated in other
states where such laws are in eff
feet.
This officer, should he be created,
is to receive only a nominal salary
of about $500 per year, with an
expense account simply common
surate with his needs. He will be
required to be a practical railroad
man of at least five years actual ex-
perience on Louisiana railroads,
and must not own stocks or bonds,
nor be connected viii the roads in
