torney." Then come these argu-
ments:

THE board of education is seek
ing unlawfully to create arbitrarily a
class of non-union teachers. The
Loeb-Rothman rule bars all union
teachers from employment in the
public schools. By thus discriminate
ing against one class it actually
/, creates another class to whom pub
lie money is to be paid This consti-
tutes an illegal diversion of taxpay-
ers' funds. Courts decided in the
Brennan case that an injunction
would hold and public money could
not be used for special payment of
union men. By the same principle it
is unjust and arbitrary for the Loeb
Rothmans to say that the public mo-
ney shall be paid only to nOn-union
women as teachers.
2-Ida Fursman, the relator in this
action, is vice president of the teach
ers' pension fund, vice president of
the Chicago division of the state Hi
nois Teachers assn and a member
of the National Educational assn. By
the Loeb-Rothman rule she would be
barred from all these memberships.
All these organizations have paid sec
retaries, who give all their time to
working as secretaries and so CLASH
fly in the Loeb-Rothman rule. Drastic,
unreasonable, arbitrary
3-Teachers discharged under the
Loeb-Rothman rule for not quitting
the union have legal right to draw
retirement money from teachers pen
sion fund. That fund would be bank
rupted. Taxpayers would lose close
to $1,O00,O0O.
4-The Chicago teachers are al
ready hired for the coming year.
Courts have held their services are
in effect contracted for. If discharged
under the Loeb-Rothman rule they
could bring suits. Taxpayers would
lose big money. --
5-The Loeb-Rothman rule con-
flicts with the public policy expressed

says this teachers organization (the

The Injunction, if granted, will pre-
vent the board of education, Mayor

Text of Note to Austria-Hungary
l. Asking Recall of Ambassador
Dumba.

Washin gton, Sept. 9.-Ambassa-
dor Penfield was instructed by cable
yesterday (Scpt 81 to deliver the fol-
, lowing note to the Austria-Hungar-
ian foreign Office:
"Mr. Constantin Dumba, the Aus
tro-Hungarian ambassador at Wash
ington, has admitted that he propos-
ed to his government plans to insti-
gate strikes in American manufac-
turing plants engaged in the produc-
ton of munitions of war. The in
formation reached this government
through a copy of a letter of the am
bassador to his government. The
bearer was an American citizen nam
ed Archibald, who was travelling un-
der an American passport. The am
bassador has admitted that he en-
ployed Archibald to bear official dis
patches from him to his government.
by reason of the admitted pur-
pose and intent of Mr.. Dumba to con-
spire to cripple legitimate industries
of the people of the United States
and to interrupt their legitimate
trade, and by reason of the fragrant
violation of diplomatic propriety in
employing an American citizen pro-
tected by an American passport as
secret bearer of official dispatches
through the lines of the enemy of
Austria-Hungary, the president d.
reefs me to inform your excallency
that Mr.. Dumba is no longer accept
able to the government of the Unit
ed States as the ambassador of his
imperial majesty at Washington.
Believing that the imperial and
royal government will realize that
the government of the United States
has no alternative but to request the
recall of Mr.. Dumba on account of
his improper conduct, the govern
ment of the United States expresses
its deep regret that this course has
become necessary and assures the i'm
perial and royal government that it
sincerely desires to continue the
cordial and friendly relations which
exist hetween the United States and
Austria Hungary. LANSING"

Text of Dumba Letter Revealing the
Scheme to Cripple MunitiOn
i; Plants in U. S.

London, Sept. Here is the ex-
act text of the Dumba letter, in Eng
lish, seized among the effects OF
James F.. J. Archibald, which has
made such a sensation in the United
States:
'@New York, Aug. 20, 1915. My
Lord: Yesterday evening Consul
General Won Nohr received the in
closed aide memoire from the chief
editor of the locally known paper,
Szabadsag, after a previous confer
ence with him and in pursuance OF
his proposals to arrange for strikes
in the Bethlehem Schwab Steel and
Munitions War Factory and also in
the middle west.
CDR. Archibald, who is well known
to your lordship, leaves today at IL
o'clock on board the Rotterdam for
Berlin and Vienna. I take this rare
and safe opportunity to warmly rec
ommend the proposal to your lord
ships favorable consideration.
cit is my impression that We can
disorganize and hold up for months If
not entirely prevent the manufacture
of munitions in Bethlehem and the
middle west, which in the opinion of
the German military attache is OF
great Importance and amply out
weighs the expenditure of money in
volved.
But even if strikes do not come
OF, it is probable that we should ex-
tort under the pressure of the crisis
more favorable conditions of labor
for our poor, downtrodden fellow
.countrymen. In Bethlehem these
white slaves are now working for
twelve hours day and seven days a
week. All weak persons succumb
and become consumptives.
$50 far as German workmen are
found among the skilled hands, a
means of leaving will be provided for
them.
Besides this, a private German
registry Office has been established,
which provides employment for per-
sons who have voluntarily given up
their places, and is already working
we'll. They will also join and the
widest support is assured us.
II beg your excellency to be so
good as to inform me with reference
to this letter by wireless telegraphy,

WHO IS PALMER?

A man by the name of Palmer,
from Sioux City, has been proposed
for the democratic nomination for
governor. Who is Palmer?-Mar-
.shalltown Times-Republican.
It is the business of the Journal to
furnish information.
William B. Palmer is one of Sioux
City's most substantial citizens. He is
an Al man. Sioux City knows this
because he has lived within it's limits
ever since he wore short trousers. He
is still. young man-that is, not
much over 4O-young enough to be
full of energy, enterprise and initia-
tive. Unusual success has come to
him in business, all as result of his
own efforts. He is self made man,
who does not have to apologize for
his own workmanship. AS a youth he
started in small way, and now, as
president of the Palmer Candy Co.,
he is at the head of one of the best
known concerns in its line in the
middle west. But he is different from
some other successful business men
he knows more than the price of
sugar and molasses. He is a student
and thinker man Of ideas.
Mr.. Palmer always has taken a
lively interest in politics. Indeed, he
was born on it. In 1885 his father, e.
G. Palmer was the democratic candi-
date for congress from the Eleventh
district, and in 1890 was elected
mayor OF. Sioux City. The younger
Palmer has been fighting of public
Office for years. With characteristic
modesty, he has preferred to serve
in the ranks. He was loyal to the
democratic PARTY through its days of
deepest dependency and helped keep
the organization together. If there be
as such a thing as deserving
democrat Nj. Palmer is 1t. He was
one Of the original Wilson men Of
northwestern Iowa and was one OF
the two delegates that the Eleventh
district chose to attend the national
democratic convention in Baltimore
in 1912.
Who is Palmer? Well, If the!
Times-Republican really cares to-
know, he 10 that sort Of man who.
IL he ever should happen to be sent
to Des Moines, would be governor,
to whom the other forty-seven COVER,
.norS IN tho United States would take

Fair.for 1916

A number of our business men
assembled at the court house on
Wednesday afternoon for the
purpose of discussing fair In
Tupelo for 1916. The spirit of
progress was evidently a control
ing influence that brought this
body together and we feel that
we can safely predict that we
will have a good fair in 1916. 1t
was decided to raise a sufficient
sum to put on fair that would
show to the outside world the
great possibilities of Lee county.
In the first place the movement
was launched in time to get re-
suits. The people will be apprised
of what will be expected Of them
and they will have ample oppor-
tunity to make all needed pre-
baration between this time and
next fall.
Lee county is recognized ev-
erywhere as the leading agrlcul-
tural county of the state and we
must not take second place IN
the step of progress that is now
sweeping over the state.
The plans and premiums will
soon be arranged and made pub
lie. In the meantime. let every
body talk FAIR.

A Personal Guarantee From
Gus Hill

In presenting Mutt and jeff
in College" for the approaching
season, | do so with the utmost
confidence that the production
will prove to be the best | have
yet offered of this series.
In selecting a vehicle | have
exercised care in securing a play
that will be distinctly different
from my three former produc-
tions, Mutt and Jeff. " Mutt
and Jeff in Panama" and Mutt
and Jeff in Mexico" all of which
made new box office records
throughout the entire country.
Mutt and Jeff in College, pre-
sents Bud Fishers inimitable
characters in a radically different
atmosphere, surrounded by new
types and in new environment.
The first act takes place upon
the campus of Stratford College.
Mutt aud Jeff are introduced as
a couple of expert football play
ers whom the students have per-
suaded to pursue an elementary
course in college, being the only
way in which their services could
be secured for the football team.
Endless comedy situations are
possible under the circumstances
and are taken full advantage of.
OF course Mutt and Jeff are
"hazed," as are all freshmen,
with side splitting results. Prom
inent among the new characters
is found "Hezekiah Doolittle, .
the town constable, who is kept
busy seeing that the law is not
seriously fractured by the stu
dents. Mutt and Jeff are ini-
tiated into the secrets OF the
fraternity of Eta Bita-Phi"
with screamingly funny results.
The football contest With Trinity
College results in a complete
victory. won by our heroes, Mutt
and Jeff, by clever strategy.
The second part represents the
graduation exercises in the grand
ball room of the Astor Hotel,
built to represent a stage upon a
stage. The graduates offer a
burlesque on julius Caesar which
is hilariously funny, following
which is offered a big vaudeville
entertainment and ending with
a gigantic climax.
There are girls a plenty, with
an accompaniment of catchy
whistleable music lending an en-
chautment to the entire enter
tainment. You will, therefore,
realize that Mutt and Jeff in
College" is different.
