PARDONS OPPOSED
Governor-Elect Bilbo Gives
Views to Be Carried Out
After Inauguration - Ex-
poets to Reduce the Exer-
else of Prerogatives.

JACKSON, MISS, Sept. 1.-Goy.-
elect Bilbo made two interesting and
important statements today while talk
ing to group of newspaper men-one
being to the effect that he is unalter-
ably opposed to public executions. The
other that he is opposed to indiscrimi
nate pardons, and will recommend to the
Legislature the creation of a board
empowered to recommend pardons.
81 am opposed to public hangings," ("
said the Governor -elect, for the reason
that the public hanging of man
has about the same effect on the popu-
lace as the fight of gladiators had on
the Roman people. Such exhibitions
destroyed the people, and / certainly
do not favor public executions OF
criminals sentenced TO die. A hanging
is no spectacle for people to witness,
and there are many good reasons why
it should be abolished.
Speaking of the pardoning power as
now invested in the Governor of the
state, Gov. elect Bilbo said:
ssWhat want to do is to break up
the abuse of the pardoning power, and
one of my first acts when get in Office
will be to ask the Legislature to create
a recommending pardoning board.
Whenever gran. a pardon | will
incorporate the names Of those who
signed the pardon petition on the par
don. This will do to try TO stop the
indiscriminate signing of petitions for
pardon.
81 believe that the widest publicity
should be given to the reasons for
granting pardon, and the names OF
the parties asking for clemency for
people in petitions that are filed.
s. do not believe that any man should
be paIdoned except for some good rea-
son and because OF extraordinary con-
ditions. These views will be carried
out after my inauguration.

DOWN WITH TIE DEMON
II J'IOI

. Henry Ford, the automobile manu-
facturer, has launched a campaign
against cigarettes and has enlisted the
aid of his colleague, Thomas A. Edison.
Their aim is to prohibit the manufac-
ture and sale of cigarettes. If this
mania for prohibiting one thing and
another continues it may get beyond
the control of even the Fords and the
Edisons. Some chap, looking around
for something to reform, will perhaps
discover the frightful things for which
the automobile, for instance, is directly
to blame. Astonished by his discoveries
he will set about to organize an Anti
Automobile Association. Thousands
will flock to his stand. Then they will
elect a man to the legislature and that
man will introduce bill to prohibit the
manufacture, sale and use of the auto
mobile. He will have staggering argu-
ments to back up his demand. He
can present a petition signed by the
pastors and members of a certain
religious body in Indiana, praying for the
passage of the bill on the broad grounds
of morality. This sect already has
forbidden it's members to buy or use
automobiles. The legislator will make
thrilling speech, bristling with irrefut-
able statistics and interspersed with
appealing and pathetic word pictures.
He will point to the fact that 10 persons
day, over 3700a year, including strong
men, beautiful women and innocent
little children, meet violent deaths on
account of the Demon Automobile. He
will depict, graphically, the mangled
bodies, the desolate homes, the weeping
orphans of the poor victims of this
modern Juggernaut. Turning to the
divorce courts he will prove by the
official reports that the automobile JOY :
ride has clogged the hoppers with cases
of wrecked domesticity. He viii show
how pure, innocent young girls are
daily led to their ruin by the soulless
scoundrels who run automobiles. He
will point TO the mortgages hanging
over thousands of Americans homes,
mortgages negotiated for the purpose
of raising funds to buy and keep up
these inventions of Satan. He will
show how the millions spent for auto
mobiles could be used TO build Panama
Canals and pay national debts. He
may point to the gasoline barons, the
rubber magnates and the auto million-
aires rolling IN their i'll gotten wealth,
while their victims are struggling
through the divorce, probate, chancery

That death loves shining mark has
again been exemplihed, for in the death
this week of DIR. M. A. Rush the COM
munity has lost one of its brightest and
most successful men, and a void has
been left which nigh cannot be filled.
DR.. Rush as man was unassuming
He cared not for the honors which men
seek or for the plaudits of the public.
but he did rather a good name and the
love of human kind more than riches,
As physician he was not only a prac-
titioner of marked ability, but a doctor
be it eternaliy said to his credit who
did not commercialize his profession.
He did not seek to ameliorate the ex-
tent OF his practice by cheap exploitation,
but won a success that was earned by
stability and honesty of purpose and
his sincerity in administering to his fell
lowbeings and to alleviate their suf-
ferings. His services, like the good sa-
maritan, knew no price when the dis
tressed were in need, and among the
many who mourn his death today there
are numbers who will miss his charity.
He answered to all calls, day and night,
with the same promptness and interest
to rich and poor alike, and it is said by
knowing ones that his charities were
boundless. 1t has been known that in
many instances he treated patients for
nothing, fully acquainted with their in
ability to pay; accompanied them to
New Orleans when it was necessary
that they be taken to that city, and not
nfrequently betrayed their expenses.
This is the type of man and physician
Bay St. Louis mourns.
The untimely death of DR.. Rush is
particularly sad. He knew he was i'll /;
he had neglected himself for the reason
he seemed to think that his time be-
longed to others that they might live.
Greater lover than this no man hath.
He had all to live for. Yourg, per-
manent success assured, and future
that was promising indeed. He had
already accumulated by means of his
enormous practice fairly good portion
of this worlds goods, and had he lived
he would have continued on the high
road to success, continuing along his
chosen pathway in life to perform the
many acts of charity towards the needy
and succoring the sick. He was help
ing support his aged parents and was
defraying the expenses for the educa-
ton of younger brother, were among
the golden acts known, for it is we'll
known that he was modest and the good
be did was seldom told.
In the community he was regarded as
a citizen OF the best type, eyincing at
all times a spirit of interest in the
growth of the city and county. He was
universally esteemed by ali who knew
him, and that he is no more brings sor-
row to the mind and bows the heart in
deep sorrow. However, the memory of
DR.. Rush will live on forever in the
minds Of those who knew him.

"Modern man is a top heavy being
whose brains is disproportionately
superior TO his other organs" say S
the New York Medical Journal, and
then goes to prove that the war in
Europe is the result of brain fag. The
Journal believes that the stress and hard
mental work of this age tended newt
ably to the reassertion Of the primitive
impulses. Something had to snap, and
when it did the result was the war.
Other nations accuse Americans of
living too fast. But they do not see
that we combine pleasure with work to
such adegree that, if we don't let down
on the play, we are apt to remain
normal human beings. For instance,
the tired business man takes couple
of hours from the Office and goes to the
ball grounds, where he yells like a
Comache Indian, hoWls like a steam
siren, cusses the visiting team and
throws pop bottles at the umpire.
The women relieve the tension of
modern life by dancing, or motoring,
or strenuous physical exercise on the
golf course or tennis courts. The use
Of tobacco is mans first aid toward
relief of taut nerves. It is said that
the sudden stoppage OF drugs would
result inevitably in nationwide
irritability that would result in a posi-
bic social upheayal. American men
work hard and live fast. It is better
they should find relief in harmless
amusements and stimulants than to go
on until some thing snaps and the re-
ult is war.

The Toca Team of Bay ST. Louis
went over to Pass Christian Sunday,
Aug. 29, and played the Pass Christian
team. They were defeated by a score
of four to nothing. From information
received here upon the arrival of the
local team it appears the locals got the
worst of the deal all around.
The diamond the team played on
consisted of potato ridges and a couple
of water melon hills, and road that
cut through the out field. The pitch
ing of both the hurlers were the only
features of the game.

Women who are seeking dainty, soft olouses for summer wear will like this one made as it is on the figure. Those who like the tailored finish and the mili- !ary idea will be pleased with the straight high collar and the pockets, for they com plctely transform the garment and give 1t an entirely different aspect. In which ever way it Is treated, however, it is a pretty, attractive blouse, equally correct for wear with the odd skirt and to be used as part of gown. The full fronts arc be- coming and the deep cuffs are new and smart and the edges that meet at the front |, allow most effective use of small buttons connected by means of cords. On the figure, the material is crepe dc chine in the new sand color and pearl buttons are used. The militar.' waist is made of voile, but it would be smart for any seasonable material and either in white or in sand color or in a color to match the skirt or suit. The back is extended over the fronts to give the sug- gestion of a yoke and when the rolled over collar is used, the fronts are cut out slightly.
 For the medium size will be required 33 yds. of material P in. wide, 25s yds. 36, I5s yds. A in. wide.
 The pattern S627 is cut in sizes from 34 to A in. bust measure. 1t will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper, on receipt of ten cents.

 Her house was bulleI-ridden, and as she moved about placing cups for us she talked on.

HONE STAR RUSH,
 SUNDAY AT FOX'S

"The Lone Star Rush." the drama tic tale from the Australian gold fields is coming to Foxs tomorrow night to head a program of motion picture attractions that Is incompar- eble for entertaining qualities. "The Lone Star Rush. is the story of mans inhumanity to man in the mad quest for gold and of the marvellous in- huence of a wOman's love, and the strength of a noble friendship. It is enc of the strongest stories drama tized for the screen, dealing as it does with the lust for gold with the total disregard of life and property. The entire company of players travelled Alaska in order to get the proper at mosphere, so the audience will wit ness not only the stirring develop ments of this story of strife for gold and a womans hand, but also series of incidental views of the greatest gold fields in the Western Hemis- phere. Several single reel comedies and dramas of careful selection will augment the program to two solid hours of refined and diversified en- tertainment. D. w. Griffith's film 'The Escape" founded on the famous Paul Armstrong play of the same name will be shown for the last time tonight. The tremendous crowds which greeted it's initiar showing all day yesterday speaks well of the pre- sentation and the patrons were unani- nous in their praise of the excellent lesson 1t teaches. "The Escape" will be shown tonight at D. m. and g o'clock.
