tirely futile. In August, 1918, he sent a special
envoy to Mexico to tell Huerta he would not
recognize him. He announced this himself in
q note in October. and ON Dec. End he an
nounced he would not deal with the Huerta
government. This was intervention and moth.

some European government had declined to
recognize Hayes as president, and insisted upon
the seating of Tilden. Mr.. Wilson interviewed
when he backed Villa against Huerta, He in
terVened when ne turned against Villa and
recognized Carranza.
There WAS much to be said in favor of tho
policy of recognizing Huerta and avoiding in
terventlon. There was also much to be said in
favor of the policy of refusing to recognize
Huerta, which was intervention, and then of
fully accepting the responsibility implied in in
tervention. But there is nothing to be said in
favor of Wobbiing between the two policies .and
neither recognizing Huerta nor accepting the
responsibility for the chaos caused by failure
to recognize him. Yet this was the course Mr.
Wilson followed.
There was no excuse for the recognition of
Carranza in view of Mr. Wilson's failure to
recognize Huerta. All the objections to Huer-
ia applied with greater force to Carranza. Mr..
Wilson's apologists say that Huerta was the
murderer of Mexicans. But Mr.. Wilson him.

having condoned the repeated murders of
Americans by the Carranzistas, and having
abased himself before Carranza, and having
aided in placing Carranzs in power, what is
Mr.. Wilson's reward? and who pays it? The re-
ward is that Mr.. Wilson has to place 10000
troops on the border to partially prevent the

Helen Keller.

An entertainment that became a
beautiful and interesting study to
the large audience present was the
appearance of Helen Keller at the
Lampton Auditorium on last eve
ming.
Mrs. Macy, the teacher for
more than twenty eight years Of
the wonderful prodigy yet of the
gravest limitations as to mortal
sense made a wonderful impression
upon her hearers, showing herself
to be woman of modest reserve,
strong character and without os-
tentation or personal vanity in the
remarkable results attained by her
pupil, deaf, dumb and blind since
nineteen months of age-but dumb
no longer through the greatest
miracle wrought in modern times
Miss. Keller repeated ''The
Psalm of Life and then gave her
lecture on Happiness, : which
was frequently applauded.
She answered intelligently and
sagaciously questions propounded
by the audience at the close of her
address.
What do you think of the. Pres
ident and Preparedness, was ask

response. Do you advocate Pre-

her teacher. Miss Keller hesitated
and smiled, naiveIy saying -"Of a

pearance and looks the girl of Is

those who, having human sight, yet

THE STORE ROBBERY AT RUTH.

With Reference to Article
Saturday Leader.

The report that was published in
last Saturdays Leader, concerning
Cant and his dogs trail of the
thief that broke into Clark's store
at Ruth last Tuesday night, is a
falsehood and an untruth. The
dog trailed near my house and
went into my shop just as a show
er of rain came up that disabled
him to go any further; but he did
not go any where about my house,
nor did he bark at me, and was
in the shop with the dog and the
other men.
AS the report said l am mo mig
ger" nor 'po' white trash, but a
noble and Christian gentleman
with a loving wife and one little
boy, fifteen months old.
Why people that claim to be
friends" would rumor such a
false report on me l don't know.
But, as Shakespeare said, There
is no art to tell the minds con-
struction in the face. "
Now when you ask, did the
officers do their duty?" think if
they did they would bring to trial
the one that sent Mr.. Hobbs such
a slanderous, and untruthful re-
port.

". m. U. RALLY At DOGUE
GHIIIO BAPTIST CHURCH

One of the happiest women in
Lincoln County on last Saturday
was Mrs. D. Bolian, Superintend-
ent of Missions for the w. M. S's.,
of Lincoln County Association.
Through her attendance upon the
State Baptist Convention she was
inspired to hold a Rally Day for
the societies under her supervision
and so wise was her planning, and
so loyal were her assistants of the
Bogue Chitto w. MS, who were
hostesses for the large contingent
of visitors, that success crowned all
their efforts, in spite of their appre-
hension and fear of failure. "A
new impetus was given the work..
we are sure, for Miss Lackey, the
State Corresponding Secretary, was
there and gave clear-cut presen-
tation of the work she so ably di-
rects throughout the State.
The cordial greeting and hospi1
tallty extended the visitors upon
arrival furnished "open minds"
for what was to follow, so that
the Introductory Bible reading by
Miss Lackey was received with
marked effect and Mrs. Bolian's S
thoughtful address found lodg
ment in memory. Papers by Mrs.
Lula Myers and Mrs. Jones Greer
were also excellent and in keeping
with the spirit of the hour. But
there will, probably, be no more
"papers" at rally meetings, Miss
Lackey wisely suggesting the more
or less spontaneous expression OF
ones thought and purpose and. as
piration minus the Stationery"
that has served as stepping stone
to woman's greater service to her
fellows through public speech.
Miss Margaret Lewis vocal solo
with Mrs. Coney at the organ, was
beautiful feature of the rally.
At the noon hour a delightful
lunch was served in the parlor of
the big church building, the entire
company being seated about the
inviting tables. The social hour,
enjoyed by many inf feasting and
fellowship, was recreative time
preceding the afternoon program
already noted.
Mrs. Moore, the wife of the
Methodist pastor, who was also
present, gave an acceptable talk
before the ladies at the close of the
program.
Upon invitation extended by
Mrs. Nellie Sasser Moak from the
Norfeld society, it was decided to
hold the next Rally Day at Norfeld
early in May.
AS intimated at the beginning
Mrs. Bolian and the ladies Of the
Bogue Chitto society are to be con.
graduated upon the pleasurable
and profitable service rendered
through the Rally Day meeting.

PRINTING PRICES GO up.
Raise in Paper Values and Supplies
Force Advance OccasiOned by
the War in Europe.

Practically every printing plant
in Mississippi and elsewhere has
been forced to advance their prices
from 10 to 20 per cent, during the
last few months on account of the
increased cost of materials from
their source of supply-the whole
sale houses. Paper stock has
SCARED, with the market in such an
unsettled state that the paper mills
have withdrawn all quotations and
orders are only subject to accept
ance at such prices as may obtain
when they are received. While
the paper market is so unstable, it
might be mentioned that type
prices, and metal of all kinds used
by printers has advanced from 80
to 80 per cent, within the last six
months, due, so it is stated, to the
enormous foreign demand occa-
stoned by the war.
Perhaps the Wall Street Journal
best summarizes the reasons for
the increases that must be made.
This financial paper says:
"Few reasons why paper has
risen in price:
paper bleach before the war
$28. so per ton, now $3.50 ton.
Chemicals average increase SO
per cent.
"Caustic 100 per cent advance.
"Dye stuffs 400 to 500 per cent
increase.
"Unbleached wood pulp $40. 90
to $58. 90 per ton increase.
Bleached pulp from $500 to
500. 90 per ton.
Book papers $1,000 to $500
per ton."
1.-The printing establishments all
over the country find it Imperative
ly necessary to make correspond
ing advance in the price of printed
stationery, circulars, pamphlets,
etc.

RABBI HELLER ON
RACE GAMBLING.
Says is a MOIOch Devouring Homes

Attributed to II by Some.

"Our Respectable Garabling
Den was the subject of Rabbi
Heller's Friday sermon att Temple
Sinai. He spoke as follows:
There exists in this city a
huge gambling -den, created by
some of our prominent business
men for the purpose, as they claim,
of serving the commercial prosper
ity of New Orleans. 1t is the most
stupendous gambling machine
which has been put forth in the
South, since the determination of
the Louisiana State Lottery. In
this gambling den, on every one of
its working days, people are seen
by the thousands, exchanging vast
sums of money in the pursuit of
open gambling, the middle-aged
and the young, the rich and the
middle classes, white and black.
Our governor some weeks ago mo-
bilized the state militia to break
up a few small gambling resorts
across the river, where, in the open
daylight, for every one to see, IS
an enterprise fathered by business
men of standing which works
more actual devastation in the
homes and careers of our people in
one hour, than any one of these
places could have brought about in
a year.

THE RUTH BURGLARY.

The Leader is not going to
promise "to keep quiet" at the
next piece of news that affects our
county and people Nothing can
be "done in a corner" in this age
of publicity; and, surely, nothing
that is SAID will stay in a corner.
Publicity brings out the facts and
admonishes to a life void of
offense.
Citizens that have the honor and
reputation of their own commune
ties at heart should be very careful
of the FACTS before they report
same even to their most intimate
friend for he may be man whose
word gives weight to any matter
current.
Elsewhere The Leader publishes
a statement from a citizen of Ruth
whose name was not known in the
article published in The Leader
last Saturday concerning the re-
ported robbery of a store near his
home.
The Leader has rendered its COL
unns for any statement desired to
be made by those who know the
facts other than statements report
ed to this paper.
Ruth is one of our best and most
progressive communities and we
hope the lawless invader that has
caused disturbance of the tranquil
life of that vicinity will yet be
brought into the lime-light.
