HELP CHILDREN" SAYS o'HARA
Champaign, ILL.,, Nov. is. - Lieut.
Gov Barratt O'Hara, principal
speaker at this afternoons session
of the Illinois State Federation of
Women's Clubs, threw a bomb
among the large audience of fashion
ably-gowned women that had gath
cred to discuss child labor when he
declared that the women were vast
ing their time in devising ways OF
protecting children.
The way to protect the child,
said O'Hara, 'is to provide the father
with a fair wage. Parents are not
greedy. Give them wages big. enough
to support homes and the children
won't be sent out to wear out their
little bodies under the stress of hard
toll"
Here are a few of the things the
lieutenant governor told the club

eff the girl in the factory, under
the heartless piece system that
spurs her to eXeTtions past the dan
ger point, thus impairs her nervous
system, the penalty will not only be
taken from her, but from her chill
dren and her children's children, in
the generations that follow.
IF the girl in the department store,
inadeqUately paid, insuficiently
clothed, with little opportunity of
wholesome recreation, becomes ner-
vous and dwarfed, society in the next
generation will pay the penalty for
the error committed by society in
this generation.

lilies will reach the approximate level
of all other boys and girls in your
community. A mother has only half
done her duty when she accords to
her own children that instruction

Trouble began when a soldier was

INJUNCTIoNs DISSOLVED

The supreme court has dissolved the injunction granted few weeks ago by Chancellor Taylor restraining the secre- tary of state from holding an election on the quart every two weeks whisky law, whisky advertisement law and game laws, petitioned for under the initiative and referendum amendment, declaring that no person had a right to thus inter- fere with state official in the perform ance of his duty. The court did not de- eide as to whether or not the initiative and referendum amendment was properly inserted in the state constitution. This means that Mississippi is to vote for or against these three laws at the Novem- Der election. The ticket will be the longest and most cumbersome ever seen in this state. it being required that the laws be printed on the ticket. With the electoral tickets for four parties and can didates for supreme court judges and congressman also on the same ticket it mea sures 13 feet of 6-point type. but will be printed in 4-column style. thus reduc- ing the length to aboue four feet. Sam ple ballots have been sent to very county printing office, but the chances are that three-fourths of them are not able to print the tickets for their county. Mean time these drastic laws are held in abey- ance and it is confidently predicted will all be killed at the polls.

LABOR AGENTS ARRESTED

Mississippi has grown tired of the ac-
 tivities of the labor agents and has gone
 to arresting every one to be found plying
 his calling. Labor agents are required to purchase license to work Mississippi, and the price of that license is just $500
 The legislature supposed that stiff
 enough to keep them out of the state, but it has not, and several of them have come to grief The lowest fine the law
 imposes for failure to have a license to take labor out of Mississippi is s500-the maximum being $50O0 One of them was ''pulled'' by the chief of police of Jack son this week, and tickets for g negroes were found on his person. They were just in the act of embarking on an Ill- nois Central train for some point in Illi- nos, but they were all stopped and jailed as witnesses against the labor agent. He had a hearing before Police Justice Man ship and was fined $500, the minimum. on which he took an appeal to the circuit court but that will hardly avail him any thing, the law being very explicit, and he will have to disconnect himself from his cash in the end. Meantime other labor agents are said to have folded their tents Aand like the Arab, silently stolen awayS They have taken thousands of negroes out of the state, however. and have demoralized labor in many commit among the "cook la dies" many of whom have listened to the tempting tales of great wages to be had north of the Ohio river.

WOULD BUILD GOOD ROADS

It is confidently predicted that 1000 automobiles will make the trip from Jackson to Gulfport during the centennial that begins in December, 1917, and the state highway commission is determined to see that first class gravel or other permanent roads are constructed every
 mile of the way before that time shall have rolled around. A great deal of the route is already boasting of good roads, but there are several gaps to be filled in, and it is going to take hard and persistent work to get the counties en- unused to the bond issuing point Gov ernor Bilbo is taking a great deal of interest in the matter, and in a few days will bill every county and town along the proposed line of travel, calling mass meetings of the citizens, who will be addressed by the besV speakers and boosters in the state. Every county that does not now have such good roads will be asked to issue bonds in sum suffi- cient to build roads north and south through that county The distance from Jackson to Gulfport is about 200 miles.

 As literary discussion, the controversy has been futile from the start. AS a psychological problem, it is more in- teresting. In part, the movement Is due to that vast amount of latent mania which is always hanging in the air like electric ity, and which gathers around any sen- sational question that will serve for a lightning-rod.

PUBLIC SCHOOL FUND

The legislature of last winter appropri- ated $1,S67,7u for the public schools of the state, two-thirds of same to be dis tributed in January, the other one-third in October. The distribution of this $622, ,590 is now past due, but the state superintendent has been hampered in making up his pro rata and the share to each county, based on the number of educable children therein, because of the careless way in which the officials of some of the counties attend to their busi- ness. They have not as yet reported to the state superintendent and the teach CTS are thus kept out of their money. In view of the fact that most of them are very poorly paid, at best, it is rather hard they should be made to wait.

S|XTY-TWO DESERT FROM ONE COMPANY AT JACKSON CAMP Almost Entire Command Decide They Do Not Like Army Life MISSISSIPPI GUARD
 IS MUCH DEPLETED Delegates to Young Business Mems Club Convention Given Royal En- tertainment-People to Vote
 on Laws Enacted
By E. E. FRANTz

Jackson, Miss, October A-(Special) SIXty-two privates of the Hattiesburg company deserted and left camp Swep Taylor night or two since, thus laying themselves liable to court-martial and a term in some federal prison. This whole sale assertion was not known by the officers of the camp or of the company until the roll was called next morning and only 29 answered present. It was then that Captain Cooper and his lieu tenants got busy. The matter was re- ported to Colonel Hoskins and as soon as possible a squad of men from the Jackson company was dispatched after the deserters with orders to bring them back, and they are now absent on that serious mission.
 The First Mississippi regiment has been in Jackson five or six months and was put recently announced as ready for serv- ice. The officers had hard time filling up the ranks, the military spirit evidently not being very rampant in this part of the country. The companies as originally reporting here on call of the President were seriously depleted by dismissals on account of failure to come up to the physical requirements. About half the old National Guardsmen were rejected by the examining officer, and raw material had to be procured to fill up the ranks They have been drilled consistently and military rules have been inforced very strictly. The camp has been ditched and drained from one end to the other and IS said to be in perfect sanitary condi- ton. The soldier boys did the work, as a matter of course, but there has been great deal of complaint and lots of chaffing at the bit. The only excuse offered for the wholesale assertion, al- most an entire company, is that the boys were dissatisfied, that they were tired of camp life and just determined to throw up the job. They have all been very anx- lous to break camp and get off to the Texas border for several weeks, but there has been one delay after another until spirit of unrest has taken pos- session of many of the men, 62 of whom have thus shown their disapproval of the slow policy of waiting and watching.

Shakespeare and Not Bacon

Frederick E. Pierce in the October Yale
 Review.
 The works of either Bacon or Shake speare alone are more than could be ex- pected from any but the most towering genius; the works of both together are more than we have right to demand from limited human power Behold the inconsistency of the Baconian. He con siders it impossible that a youth of tran scendent genius but limited early advan- tages should become a learned man at 30, a thing which is known to have oc- cured; yet he calmly assumes that one brain could produce the First Folio and the "Novum Organum," an assumption in defiance of the whole history of man. kind. He strains at a gnat and swallows a camel.
 Furthermore. the works of Shakespeare and Bacon differ fundamentally in style, in thought, in general attitude towards life. To say that Bacon wrote the plays

The National Guardsmen in the accompanying pictures are shown spending their last days in Texas for the present, and although their life on the bor- der has been trough" one, they apparently enjoyed the experience.
