cornered swaps, with each club own
er naturally jockeying for the best Of
it and some of them being badly
trimmed. The trimmed ones will not
forgive and forget easily. In the
event of peace some of the big league
clubs will go into next season almost
unacceptable to the fans who fol-
lowed them in 1915, which will be no
great hardship to the fans.
Watching the magnates scramble
is going to provide some fun for the
general public. We doubt if the bugs
will consider the worries of the mag
mates as magnitudinous as the own
ers would wish
Five American league owners are
now rafting toward New York to en-
ter a three-cornered peace confer
ence with representatives of the Ma
tional and Federal leagues. The A.
l.. meeting was terminated last night
after Barney Dreyfuss of the Pirates
had arrived with the word from New
York, where a preliminary meeting
had been held between Nationals and
Feds.
The proposed terms of truce are
no different than those which were
named in The Day Book yesterday.
We don't know how accurate they
are. No one does, not even the mag
mates themselves, who, with peace in
sight, can be depended upon to start
an even bigger war about how it
shall be secured.
There will undoubtedly come
some agreement in the next few days
if it is to come at all. Harry Sinclair,
hacker of the Newark Feds, the man
who will be angel of the Feds if New
York is invaded, has delivered an
ultimatum to the organized people.
Peace must be declared by Tuesday
or the war between the leagues will
continue for at least another year.
Peace will be reached by Tuesday,
if at all, because the organized peo-

Faets-Sot Predictions, MIR Editor.

Editor Of The Eirginian:
Sir.---It Is gratifying TO sunragists that the
growing Importance of the equal suffrage move
ment makes II a frequent subject Of editorial
comment ! do not wonder that newspaper
such The Nirgnan, which emphasizes tho
responsibility Of citizenship for men. should be
conscious OF itself IN its attitude toward this
question. To deber women from effective
citizenship on account OF their sex is n position
hard to defend.

and honorable men is to throw dust and be-
cloud the issue. Such predictions and oe-
auctions men do not vote In large numbers

would have found that a larger vote was pelled

primary and that they voted IN larger proper

notwithstanding the fact that many stayed away
To avoid party utilization, You wrongly stated
TINT they stayed away because they did not
approve the candidate. To vote IN a Chicago
Democratic primary one is pledged to tho Demo-
ratio nominee. They wished to vote for the

Don't let's make predictions and orniuousy

General Comment
Mrs. "Stonewalr' Jackson.

The death of the widow OF "StonewalI Jace-
son will touch a chord of mingled pride and
pathos in the memory OF thousands of persons
throughout the South. There still survive In the
southern States legion of white haired men
and women to whom the fall Of the Confederacy
was the tragedy of their lives and to whom the
name "StonewalP' Jackson recalls the dream Of
national glory and hope. And there many
millions who cherish 1t of the proudest
in Southern history. Mrs. "Stonewall" Jackson
was woman Of unusual grace and beauty of
character. and she was venerated by Confed-
crates the bearer of sacred name. Her
death removes another link with the days when
the country passing through the greatest
crisis In its history, days which we understand
better the farther get away from them.--Bal-

GREAT BERRY CROP.

Jackson, Miss, May PA visitor
from Meridian yesterday describes a
busy scene he witnessed on a 200
acre strawberry farm near that city,
even though the season is we'll adj
vanced. He saw zoo persons picking
berries at one time, and the owner.
Mr.. Holman, was shipping three car
loads per day to the Cincinnati mar.
ket, where they have been bringing
good prices and making good money
for the shipper.
Mr.. Holman came from the North
five or six years ago and purchased
land at about s. per acre, maybe
cheaper than that. 1t is now worth
500 per acre and is not for sale at
that price, but it shows the value Of
the pine lands OF south and east Mis-
sissippi when properly handled and
cultivated.
Between Meridian and Newton this
same traveller saw hundreds of acres
of cabbages, most of which seemed to
be doing well and promising fine re-
turns for the growers.
