THE CITIZENS PROHIBITION
MOVEMENT THANKS ALL
WHO ASSISTED IN
CAMPAIGN.

jackson, Miss, October 81, 1916.
70 the People of Mississippi:
In a decision handed down by the
Supreme Court on Monday, Octobe,
30th, it was declared that the Initia.
tive and Referendum, under which the
whiskey interests were endeavoring to
recall two effective prohibition meas.
ures, is not retroactive and cannot ap.
ply to these two measures. The Sec
rotary Of State has given instructions
TO reprint the ballots where possible,
leaving off these pleasures, and in
other counties has instructed the cleo
zion officers not to count the vote. This
makes it unnecessary to continue the
fight before the people.
The Citizens Prohibition Movement
was organized for the purpose of
arousing the people of the State to
the necessity of quick action, as the
whiskey interests were insidiously at
work to recall the laws passed by the
last Legislature. The response was
prompt and enthusiastic and as a re-
suit practically every county in the
State was organized, some of the most
prominent men volunteered their SER
vices as speakers, and a large per cent
Of the daily and weekly newspapers
circulating in this State, including the
Memphis and New Orleans papers,
opened wide their columns for the
fight. Advices received at headquar-
ters from over the State indicate that
the prohibition forces would have won
by an overwhelming vote.
In calling off the fight before the
people we wish to thank Senator Var
iaman, Attorney-G General Collins, Sen
ator l.. G. Franklin, and others, for
their services; the newspapers, daily
and weekly, circulating in this State,
for the space given our cause, Mrs.
Edward McGehee, President of the
State Federation, for the interest of
the Women's Clubs; and especially the
members Of the general committee Sc
lected from each Congressional Dis
trict, who were SO prompt and effec-
tive in organizing their respective dis
~
While the decision Of the Supreme
Court has made a vote unnecessary,
We feel that the cause Of prohibition
been greatly promoted by the
'ampaign just brought to a close.

SAIL FOR ENGLAND

Haiifax,N. S.-Eighteen thousand
Canadian soldiers from Halifax for
England recently. They were carried
on the steamers Metagama, Calgar-
ian, Empress of Britain and Lapland.
The troop ships were conveyed by the
British cruiser Suffolf, which for
many months patrolled the United
States coast to prevent the escape of
interned German ships. The liner
Olympic, now an auxiliary cruiser and
troop ship for the British admiralty
arrived here on April "a, and will
carry to England part of the next
contingent that leaves Canada. On
her last trip eastward the Olympic
carried $500 men. To assure safety
from submarine attacks to the trans
ports that make this their port a

block the entire harbor The gate in
this boom is opened only three times

UNITED STATES TO
EDUCATE IMMIGRANTS
Government Adopts Plan to Care for
New Problem-Special Courses
Arranged.

Washington-The United States
government has evolved plan of
meeting one phase of the country's
immigrant problem through educa-
tional institutions, and now Ia of them
are Offering special courses which
treat of the subject of immigration,
though few of them have given much
attention to the practical problem of
what to do with the immigrant as a
man and citizen. Recent occurrences
in the United States brought forcibly
to the governments attention that the
hyphen is about the first thing that
ought to be obliterated. 1t is grow
ing conviction that so long as that ex-
lists so long will there be something
closely approximating dividend al
legiance with the new-made citizens,
therefore the social work among i'm
migrants is assuming special impor-
tance as college subject. While Ia
institutions are now offering special
courses which treat of the general
subject, 60 treat of the subject in
cidentally in connection with the
course in economics, history and
sociology.

DETROIT WOMEN SEEK FUND TO
PROTECT SOLDIERS EYES.

With the object in view of raising
af und for the purchase of glasses
which will protect the eyes of Ameri-
can soldiers now serving on the Mex
ican border and in the interior of the
country, meeting Of the Danes of
the Loyal Legion was held in Hotel
Pontchartrain. Besides the Danes of
the Loyal Legion some 81 other pa
triotic societies were represented.
Owing to the wind, sun and alkali
dust of the desert, many of the SOL
ders are incapacitated for duty. No
protective glasses for it's soldiers,
and those privately purchased are
done so at cost beyond the reach of
the average soldier. A new process
recently has been discovered, cheap in
cast and effective.
