DRUGS IN A CLASS WITH LIQUOR

Prohibition Of illicit sale of narcotic
drugs was agreed to by the senate
Monday in the passage Of H. B. No.
249, by Elrod. Much interest has been
taken in this measure, especially in
view of the stringent measures that
have been taken to suppress the liquor
traffic in the state. 1t is said that, in
some cities in Idaho, the triffic in
drugs, especially cocaine, has grown
to appalling proportions.
Only on prescription of licensed
physician can narcotics be secured UNI
der the law, and the penalties are
heavy for breaking the law. Anyone

WORLD PEACE AFTER
A WORLD RELIGION
PERSIAN CHARGE SAYS THAT
NATIONAL AND RACIAL
BIAS MusT>eo.

San Francisco, Oct. IA world
religion, a religion including the truth
of all religions and excluding all pa
triotic, national and racial bias, was
declared to be a prime requisite for
world peace by Mira Ali Kuli Khan,
Charge d'Affaires of the Persian Lega-
tion at Washington, in an address be-
fore the International Peace Congress
here today. He said: Y
Humanity, from the dawn of his
tory, has progressed under the guild
ance of prophetic teachers from state
of infancy through the various stages
of development leading to its maturi-
ty In spite of all obstacles to the
contrary, the course of humanity, in
the long run, has never been impeded
by retrogression.
THE prophets of God, whose gos-
pels were the result Of a well-founded
optimism, aimed at the Unity Of man
because of their due knowledge of the
principle of human unity, which in
the mind of God had ever been an ac.
complished fact. Each world teacher
accomplished that plan in conformity
with the limited capacity manifested
by his people.

The Ordinary Citizen smiled as he
emptied his glass and prepared to
depart.
/ Gentlemen" he said, 81 must leave
you. AS / understand it, you don't
think President Wilson is quite I'D to
the standard of Europe-of European
statesmen"
Decidedly mott" said the Highhyow
Republican.
Il don't suppose he is,' mused the
Ordinary Citizen. "He is letting Mex
leo settle her own immense difficult
ties, and he is keeping this country
out of war when the slightest misstep
wonld have gotten her into it. Oh,
no! He is undoubtedly raw and crude
not to be compared with those ben
eficent European dipiomatists whose
wonderful world insight is costing
Europe forty-five millions day and
three or four million lives. No, in
deed, gentlemen, President Wilson
isn't in it. Good afternoon"

sador said tnat majority oi al
menians in Asiatic Turkey have peeh

The Hattiesburg news., 1915-10-12

God applied his original plan for
the unification of Israel through Mos
es, of the Gentiles through Jesus, Of
the -Pharisees through Zoroaster, of
the Hindus through the Budda, and of
the other sections of huamnity through
other world teachers and prophets.
! To-day, which to the wise and
thoughtful is the day of the maturity
of the human. race. God will accomplish
that noble plan. In the voice raised in
all parts Of the world in favor of
peace, and in the efforts extended By
the peace-loving element in the
worlds population which constitutes
the positive, affirmative principle of
the human body polite, we find po.
tent, manifest proof that the Day of
Peace has dawned, and is steadily,
though slowly, breaking through the
dense clouds which temporarily i'm
pede its course to the meridian of its
glory.
Although the effecting of a world
brotherhood is the determined plan of
God, it is for the membership of the
human family to cooperate in its real
ization.
"In our effort to unity the world we
must take the lessons taught by the
past great religions in achieving the
moral and spiritual uplift of their re-
spective peoples, for no unity of a
people existing in a civilized state
could be independent of moral and
spiritual character. The building of
such character has been the task OF
every true religion.
"As our aim today is the creation
of world civilization, based upon
world unity, we must enlarge our con.
ception of religion to reach the dimen-
sions of world religion-the religion
of humanity.
"Such religion should include the
truth of all religions, and exclude all
patriotic, national and racial bias.
"The most successful political and
industrial steps taken by any nation
toward human betterment are those
represented by the federal and indus
trial institutions organized in the Uni
ted States, the greatest republic Of all
time; for these American institutions,
in their domestic and international re-
lationships, are impregnated with the
spirit of justice. altruism and broad
humanity which Is embodied in the
religion of Humanity, because they ex-
hale the fragrance of the noble say
ings of the Persian prophet of these
modern times: 'Ye are all the leaves
Of one tree and the drops of one sea-
Great glory is not his wto loves his
country, but rather his who loves his
kind
America is therefore the field in
which the seds of the world religion
are given an opportunity to germinate,
and which will extend to the peoples
of all climes the bounties Of the Re-
ligion of Humanity. May we not.
therefore, look upon America as the
nation which is specially chosen by
the Almighty to assist in mans prog
ress upward and to bless humanity
with the fruits of universal peace?"

ANNUAL MEETING
OF AMERICAN
PL0WMEN
National Farmers Union Renders I'm
selfish Service to Agriculture.
BY Peter Radford.

The National Farmers Union will
hold its annual convention in Lincoln
Nebraska, on September seventh. and
will round out the eleventh year of
its activities in the interest Of the
American plowman. When that con-
vention is called to order every farm
er in America should pause and bow
his head in honor of the men gath
cred there to render a patriotic and
unselfish service to agriculture That
organization, born in the cotton fields
OF Texas. has grown until geograph-
fcally it covers almost the whole of
the United States and economically
1t deals with every question in which
the welfare of the men who bare
their backs to the summer sun are
involved. 1t has battled for a better
marketing system, rural credits, cheap
money. Investigation, scientific pro-
,duction, agricultural legislation and
, has carried on its work of education
and COOPERATION III season and out.
|, The Farmers Educational and Co
operative Union OF America brings
the question Of organization squarely
before every farmer in this nation.
Without organization the farmers can
neither help themselves nor be helped
by others and through organization
and systematic effort all things are
possible
The farmers of the United States
contribute more and get less from
government than any other class of
business. They have better securities
and pay higher rate of interest
than any other line Of industry. They
market more products and have less
to say in fixing the price than any
other business and they get more
political buncombe and less construc-
tive legislation than any other class
Of people. The farmers can only &C.
Quire such influence in business. in
government. and In economics as will
enable them to share eQuitably the
fruits Of their labor through organize
tion and every farmer on American
soil who desires to help himself and
his fellow plowmen should rally
around the Union.
