AMERICA IS At mercy
OF GERMANY, He SAYS
David Lloyd-G George Declares United
States Powerless to De-
fend Itself.

BANGOR, Wales, via London, Marcn l.
The chancellor of the eXchequer,
David Lloyd-George. made pointed
reference to the United states in
speech here yesterday.
IF Germany is triumphant over this
country" he said, she would be prac-
tically the dictator of the world. AND
where" he asked, could we then LOOK
10 a chivalrous country to protect us
TO America? If countries like France
and Russia. with huge armies, and we.
with the most powerful navy in the
world. could not face this terrible ma
chine, how could America step in? 1t
would be more than America couid 40
TO defend her interests in her own con-
tinent. America is more unready than
we were.
The chancellor then took up the liquor
and industrial questions.
Governments Powers Wide.
The government has wide powers
TO deal with the drink question, and 1t
means to use them," he declared lie
said a small minority of the workmen
.mployed in the armament factories
had refused to work a full week De-
cause of the lure of drink
The government would use its powers
discreetly and in a spirit of mooera-
tion, Mr.. Lloyd-George asserted, put
.'fearlessly" He was sure the puplic
would support whatever action was
taken, and allow no Indulgence OF this
kind to interfere with the country's
prospects in the war.
The war" he said, lis to be won or
lost by the engineers. we need men,
but we need arms more than men, ana
every day of delay is full OF peril TO
rhe country For one reason or another
,ye do not get the assistance we have
right to expect from our workshops.
Industrial differences are inevitable,
but we cannot afford them now
Would Increase Wages.
1t is intolerable that the lives of
Britons should beimperiled for the sake
of d farthing an hour. During war
governments should have the power of
settling difficulties SO that work snail
go on If men are entitled to more
money the government should give IT.
1 do not believe the parties involved
will refuse to comply with the urgent
command of the government that there
should be no delay.
Expressing confidence in the outcome
OF th.. war the chancellor said the peo-
ple of the country hardly realized yet
the Importance of the struggle in which
they were engaged and warned them
thai victory could not be won without
:, long struggle. He declared that while
f.rs gland had enrolled the largest VOL
unteer army ever gathered In any
country of in any century IT ought TO

'QUlN GIVES The PLAIN FACTS
WHY He VOTED AGAINST BILBo,

Hon. H. NJ. Quin, the peoples can
didate fer Governor, in the splendit
speech made at Schlater. yesterday
among other things said:
Mr.. Bilbo criticised him for not an
pointing men in the Legislature to i'm
portant positions who agreed with Bill
bo's politics. AS speaker Of the house
Mr.. Quin said he appointed men Of
ability and it was because they die
have ability.
He said there was one thing however
Bilbo did not criticise him for and that
was for appointing white boys to work
in the Legislature when Bilbo appoint.
ed negroes at the same salary to work
in the senate. why don't he criticise
me for this?''
He said while he was friend OF
Vardaman, voted for him in the caucus
and was one of the managers of his
campaign in 1911, he did not vote fol-
Bilbo for Lieutenant Governor and
wanted to state why.
1.-The facts in regard to Bilbo voting
for Leroy Percy are as follows: On the
night of the Democratic caucus, &C.
cording to his own testimony, he sat in
the Democratic caucus with the bribe
money in his pocket, and instead of ex-
posing the bribery that night, he kept
quiet because. as he afterwards said,
that it would cause some trouble and
possibly someone might get hurt. This
| was bad enough for any one who knows
of the situation knows full we'll that
had he exposed the bribery that night,
Vardaman would have been the nomi.
nee of the caucus, and that by his own
act he kept Vardaman out of the SEN
ate for two years. But this was party
caucus, and every man had a right tc
act for the best interest of the party in
the party caucus as he so desired.
1.-The next day however, when the
joint legislative assembly met, Bilbo
was senator of the State of Missis-
sippi, representing a. senatorial dis
trict, and had taken an oath like all
members Of the Legislature, to abide
by the provisions of the Constitution
which would prohibit a man from vot-
ing for any person who had, directly OF
indirectly, attempted to be elected by
bribery or corruption, and yet when
Mr.. Bilbo's name was called as a
The commonwealth. (Greenwood, Miss.) 1896-1923, 1915-07-02

senator he voted for Leroy Percy, the
man who, according to his own testi-
mony, either directly or indirectly had
bribed him. This record is found on
page 578 of the House Journal of 1910.
'Now Bilbo's position was different
from that of other members of the
Legislature. They voted to ratify the
caucus nomination, but these were not
advised of the fact that there had
been any bribery used. Bilbo alone
was the one who knew about the brib-
cry, and when he voted for Leroy
Percy he violated his oath as senator.
Now had Bilbo refused to vote for Per-
cy it would have been entirely differ
ent, but he openly, as the record shows,
voted for the man in whose interest he
had been bribed. Some will say this
was all thrashed out in the campaign
of 1911, but as matter of fact there
are thousands of men who voted for
Bilbo who did not know that his only
record vote shows that he voted for
Leroy Percy and he has no record show
ing that he ever voted for Vardaman.
And then again some people who know
that he voted for Percy never stop
to think that he was breaking his oath
as legislator.
IF man will accept $645 of bribe
money and keep his seat and be per-
fectly quiet and allow a man to be
elected by bribery because perchance it
might cause some trouble, what assur-
ance have the people of Mississippi
that this same man would not sit quiet
with $1,000 or $4,000 or $4,000 in his
pocket in the Governors chair rather
than raise little trouble and haye
some ones feelings hurt?
''This is a serious matter for the peo-
pie of Mississippi to think about. Will
they promote a man to the high office
of Governor who, according to his own
record, voted for the man in whose in
terest he was bribed, and in doing so
violated duty and obligation as legis-
lator?
''This is assuming that Bilbo's testi-
is true accepting his own version of
the bribery affair."
Mr.. Quin said in closing that all indi-
cations pointed to his election and
promised if elected that every effort
would be used to make Governor in
keeping with the dignity of the Office.

GREENWOOD PLAYGROUND.

Those of you who have visited Green,

ring of happy children dancing around
the Mulberry Bush, or have heard
their laughter as, the Farmer in the
Dell, chooses the cheese and have
watched them as they sit breathlessly
listening to the adventures of Mr.. Rab-
bit anG Colonel Coon, know that this
movement inaugurated by The Y. M.
c. A. is splendid advancement and
reflects the intelligence of a progress
sive community.
The realization of that truism ..The
men and women of tomorrow are the
children of today" has taken firm root
in the minds and hearts of our citizens
and they voice their desire in demand
ing an environment that will tend for
the best.
The playground movement is not a
new idea. In the old days of Merry
England there were Commons and pub
lie places where the children would
play ring, singing and team games. 1t
is we'll known fact that the deep in
stlncts of imitation, rivalry, co-opera-
ton calling from the depths of child
nature found their expression on thes
Commons.
The modern playground movement
IS the carrying out of this principle,
the aim of collecting energies that
sometimes go astray in deviItry upon
the, streets, and bringing them to-
gether in places that are attractive to
the youth OF community. Xxx.
