TUBERCULOSIS PROCLAMATION

The people of the State of Mich
igan always have been subject to
the ravages of tuberculosis,
wholly preventable disease. This
disease is the common enemy of
mankind, and is rightly called the
White Plague. The first manifest
atoms of tuberculosis are frequent
ly overlooked. The patient discov-
ers his danger when ii is too late.
The Medical Fraternity of Mich
igan have il in their power to rem
der the State an invaluable SER
vice. Their functions are to. relieve
suffering, cure disease and prevent
disease and the greatest of these
three is to prevent disease. Mich
igan physicians are ready to en-

patriOtism-the patriotism of saw

awful scOurge. l suggest that on
Friday, August the twentieth, any
person in Michigan desiring a
medical examination whereby he
may ascertain whether he has any
Of the symptoms of tuberculosis,
may have such examination and
advice by asking a physician for it.
Therefore, i, Woodbridge N.
Ferris, Governor of the State of
Michigan, do hereby designate FRI
day, August the twentieth, A. d.,
1915, as tuberculosis Day, at which
time all physicians engaged in the
practice of medicine are requested
to render this service without
charge. re

Professor Patten added reassur-

Using salt on muck soils has been

WOMAN SUFFRAGE DEFEATED

The election returns in the
states of Massachusetts,, New
York and Pennsylvania, where
amendments to the constitution
permitting women to vote were
submitted, resulted in the defeat
of the proposed amendments by
large majorities. Recently a SIM
liar result was had in New Jer-
sew where the same question was
submitted.
The suffragists made a vigorous
campaign in each of the states
and the more sanguine felt that
the time had arrived when their
contention would be recognized
and the ballot given to women.
The progress that the movement
has made has been very rapid
and the result will not be dis
couraging to those women who
recognize the fact that all re-
forms progress by slow stages.
Already a number of the western
states have given the ballot to
the women and equal rights be-
fore the law in every respect are
enjoyed by both sexes.
The question is a big one and
it will require many years yet to
finally determine the state OF
public opinion on the question
Every state has its advocates ia
voring the adjustment of the
restrictions thrown around the
ballot which bars women from
participating on equal terms with
the men in deciding matters of
public interest. AS an abstract
question no one is able to deny
that women should have every
right under the law that men
enjoy. but as a matter of what is
best for the fair sex the great
majority of men and a large ma
iority of women still hold to the
position that it is dangerous to
draw the women into the game
of politics.

Robins Will Run

AS the approaching race for City
officials draws neal the question is be-
ing frequently asked if the present
Mayor will be a candidate to succeed
himself.
The administration has been a highly
successful one and the town is to be
congratulated upon the splendid show
ing that has been made by its officials.
From one end of the state to the other
Tupelo's good name is heralded by
visitors who come here and see our
clean, orderly and progressive town.
Ne town in the state within the last ten
years has made the same progress and
from the stand point of civic pride it
has few rivals.
This condition of affairs has been due
largely to the wise selection OF officials
to direct the city's affairs. For three
terms Mr. Robins has held the Office of
J Mayor at a great personal sacrifice and
it has been his special pride all along to
make of Tupelo the %cleanest and best
town in the state. How well he has
succeeded, we all know. The town is
free from vice and c%orrupting influences
has improved it's streets, its light and
water plant and withal has made Won
derful progress under his administration
While we are not speaking with author
ity, we feel sure that Mr.. Robins will
Weld to the solicitation of all classes to
enter the a c for another term and at
the proper time we are confident that
he will make the announcement OF his
candidacy.
The Tupelo journal., 1915-11-12

William Jennings Bryan has
practically served notice on the
friends of the administration that
he will fight the policy of pre-
paredness which Mr.. Wilson out
lined in his New York speech.
In Mr.. Bryan's long career as a
public man he has scored only
one success-that of the nomlna-
ton of Woodrow Wilson at Baltl-
more. Mr.. Bryan should not
now undertake to tear down the
house that he helped to build.
His life has been one OF theory
and he has signally failed to
make the rest of the country see
things as he sees them. His
fight for free silver was a dismal
failure and he has lived long
enough to see the folly of his
own contention. He is a gutter
at critical points. He was IN ia
vor of a backdown before. both
Germany and Great Britain, but
his chief had the backbone and
refused to let him permit this
country to such a policy. Mr..
Wilson is wise enough to see that
in the future we must Re pre-
pared to meet force with force.
The present war has revealed t! e
fact that it is Germany's inten-
ton to dictate the policy OF the
world and when she crosses the
Atlantic with evil purpose we
must have battleships and guns
to send to meet her rather thar

by such an advocate as Mr..
Bryan.

Spirited Contest for Speaker
ship

Political interest in Mississippi is now
almost wholly centered in the contest
for the speakership of the lower house
of the legislature. Although the new
lawmaking body does not meet until
the first Monday in January, the speak
ership fight is a very lively affair.
There are at least six actual entries,
but in two instances it is probable that
the aspirants will be satisfied to get out
of the way if promised important com
mittee chairmanships.
The extent to which fractional politics
will play a part in the fight is a SUBJECT
of much speculation. Thus far Gov
ernor-elect Bilbo has not publicly de-
clared himself in espousal at any can
didate. although it is claimed in some
quarters that his support will be thrown
to Norwood, of Pike. This is denied
by the supporters of at least n other
candidate, Conner, of Covington, a
Young member whose father was a
prominent hacker of Bilbo, both po-
~litically and financially.
In view Of the fact that the leglsla-
ture is composed largely of new mem
bers, men without previous legislative
experience, it is hard to discern the
fractional lines and there is considerable
doubt as to whether the governor elect
will be able to absolutely dominate the
lower branch of the lawmaking body.
Jonston, of Coahoma, has a decidedly
strong following among members of
the anti Bilbo faction, and, from the
viewpoint of legislative experience, ne
is recognized by all as the best equipped
man in the race, having served several
terms in the lower house, acted as
chairman of the judiciary committee at
the last session, and is a lawyer OF
considerable prominence. klncannon,
of Lee, has also been, aligned with the
conservative element of democracy, anc
is a newspaper editor by profession, a.
lis also Norwood, of Pike Neither
Johnston or Kincannon could have
reason to expect the support OF thu
Rilbo element in event a clear cut fac
tional fight is made. Mr.. Anderson, O.
FORGET, was quite friendly with tn
Bilbo faction in the last Legislative
session, and, while he probably has NJ
reason to expect the enthusiastic sup
port of Bilbo, at the same time he n
doubt feels that Bilbo has no right t
oppose him.
The new governor will no doubt b
right in the midst of the scrlmmag
from the opening day. As lieutenant
governor and ex-oficio presiding Office
of the senate, he will WELD the gave
over the proceedings of the upper bod
during the irst two weeks of the session
The Tupelo journal., 1915-11-12

or until he takes the oath of office as
governor on Jan. 16. This will enable
him to get a line on both branches OF
the legislature, and he will no doubt
take full advantage of the opportunity.
Governor Brewer is now engaged
during his occasional leisure moments
in preparing chapters of his final mes
sage to the lawmaking body. 1t IS
expected hat this document will be a
lengthy and comprehensive review OF
the work of his administration, and II
is known that he will have a number of
important recommendations to submit
The legislature will have a difficult
financial problem to deal with right at
the beginning of the session. A deficit
in revenue is certain, owing to heavy
reductions made in property values in
the various counties, and how to make
up for this loss or the advalorem list IS
going to give the financiers in both
houses a great deal of worry.
Thus far there has been no discussion
of plans for inaugural day, and it is not
known whether it is to be made a nota-
bic occasion, or one of "Jeffersonian
simplicity" 1t is hardly probable that
there will be any exchange of courtesies,
riding side by side in a carriage, or
anything Of that sort, between the in
coming and outgoing executives, as
Brewer and Bilbo are not on speaking
terms, and the feeling between them IS
so pointedly personal that there is little
likelihood Of reconciliation.
Governor Brewer has announced his
intention t return to Clarksdale and
resume the practice of law at the close
of his administration. Whether or not
he will take an active interest in future
political contests remains to be seen,
but some of his friends are offering the
prediction that when the campaign of
| 1918 opens it will reveal a three cor
nered contest, with Jas. K. Vardaman,
| Earl Brewer and Theodore G. Bilbo as
the contestants. jackson Daily News.

Kincannon for Speaker

Hon. Frank L. Kincannon,
member elect from Lee county,
editor of The Tupelo Journal and
for many years circuit clerk OF
Lee county, is one of the candl-
dates for speaker of the house of
representatives.
Mr.. Klncannon possesses the
qualities and qualifications to
make a splendid presiding officer
over the house. He is a man of
good academic education and his
many years service as circuit
clerk give him a special training
that would prove of great value
to him and the body over which
he would preside if elected. lie
has, too, that firmness and sta
bility of character and opinion
that the office of speaker Sc
greatly demands, and while
strong and positive and loyal
both to friends and principles,
no one who knows him doubts
that in his rulings he would be
fair and impartial, and in his ap-
continents and other official acts
he would be guided by right
ideas and a strong sense of JUS
tice.
His candidacy appeals to NoX-
ubee county by reason of several
things besides his well recognized
fitness. He is a native Of this
county and still counts many
warm friends among our county
people as well as a host of well
wlshers who know him only by
reputation. Then there is a keen
feeling that East Mississippi has
not been fairly dealt with for
many years in the matter of state
Offices and honors. What the
Delta has not got South Mlssis'
sippi has received. and the Sec
ton many fairly believe to be
the very backbone of the states
civic strength has occupied the
subordinate places.
Mr.. Kincannon's candidacy Will
be watched with keen interest
and his success be welcomed with
deep pleasure by NoXubee anc
East Mississippi generally, anc
the whole state TO be coDgratu-
lated if he is elected speaker. =
