Miss Pauline v. Orr president Of
the Mississippi Equal Suffragfe AS
sociation, says the suffrage resolu-
ton inserted in the Democratic plat
form will set the cause of suffrage
in the South forward as nothing else
has done in the history Of the move
ment.
Miss Orr Is a leader among the
Southern women Of the old school,
Her father, Judge Orr, is the only sur
viving member Of both the provision
al and second Confederate congresses.
She makes her home with him at
Columbus.
~The action of the Democrats on
the suffrage question simply empha-
sizes the fact that ali political par
ties gee that equal suffrage is coming
as it is ocming very soon," she said,
1T would De suicidal for any political
organization to declare unfayorably
toward it. The Mississippi delega-
ton voted solid for the plank and the
suffrage association Of our state will
not fail to record its approval Of their
action

ALLIES 10 STOP CARRANzA


Washington, June 22.-Some init
nation as to what Gen. Carranza,s
next step would be was expected hour
ly last night at the State Department,
Official advices reported that the
American rejection Of the demand for
the recall of Gen. Pershing's troops
from Mexico was under consideration
Wednesday by the first chief and his
cabinet.
Special agent Rodgers, who made
the report, was unable to forecast
the action Of the de facto government
and threw little light on what was 90
ing on the Mexican capital.
From other sources, however. 4
was learned that European diplomats
are exerting pressure on Carranza
70 prevent him from going to war
with the United States.
The entente allies are particularly
anxious, II Is understood, that moth.
ing should occur at this time to shut
off the oil supplies for the French and
British nayies from the Tampico

crisis Sunday evening. Tx
] ing for the Subject The Bat
lie Cry Of Peace" The pastor
mentioned several things that
are great opponents to peace,
among these being the jingo
press, comercialism. and army
officials who rush into print
What we need is more con-
structive work, and q new
department to our own gov
eminent, would be q wonderful
exponent Of peace and its main
|tenance- We have a Secretary
% q =sia is appropriated
with $250,000 10000 annually.
Why not have a department OF
peace and n secretary with so
intelligent men under him and
appropriate this department
with $4,000, 000g Let this
secretary establish an interna-
.tional confidence based on
friendship. A club may be a
good thing, but friendship is
better and surer. See what we
accomplished when we gave
back to China her $500, 000, 600
indemnity. Her sons have been
coming to our colleges and uni
versities on the interest ever
since. Why not send one hum
bred men to Japan to discuss
and plan for peace instead of
preparing for a possible con-
fict?
There should be q new inter-
national movement and a
League for the enforcement of
peace. There should be an in
ternational court and an organ
ization of the world. This is a
tremendous task, but if ever
the time was ripe for such a
movement it is now. When the
war IS over it must be made
clear that treaties are not
scraps of paper, but sacred OBJ
legations that win be enforced
by the federation of the ma
'tions. This is difficult. But if
the United States Of America
is a triumph, what would the
United States of the World be?
One of the greatest forces
that precipitated in the present
war is commercialism. II has
been true Of every war for the
last century, and militarism
on its commercial side is the
|rottenest thing under Heaven,
Large corporations seeking
concessions in the great COM
modities of life and the control
|of trade are an influence of
war.
But one of the worst OPP
ponents of peace is the lingo
press. There is no limit of mis-
chief that it can do, and since
there is no national censor, the
lingo editor must be held up be-
fore the eyes Of the public.
Another matter making it
difficult to bring about peace
movements is the fact that the
idea of war is kept before the
people, and especially before
the young people, and made
glorious to their imaginations.
Patriotism and war have ben
linked together and the noble
deeds Of soldiers have been
placed before the young boy
and his incentives for it have
been aroused to a high pitch,
and his animal instincts for
fighting have been brought out.
The spiritual rebirth Of the
nation is the most indispensa-
BILE of all our tasks. This world
promlem is fundamentally a re-
religious problem and our only
hope for world peace lies
it. Science, law and prepared
ness have utterly failed. Let
US try religion for knowledge,
for law, for economic adjust
ment are not enough. Not by
might or by war, but by Ny
spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts.

LIVE CATTLE Association
More cattle and better cattle
for Missouri" was the spirit of
the Cape Girardeau Beef Cattle
Breeders Association which met
at jackson in that county recent
ly.
Although organized less
than a year ago this organiza-
ton is making itself known in
the stand for more and better
cattle. Furthermore, the trade
of southeast Missouri appreci-
ates its stand and is coming to
Cape Girardeau County for more
cattle than ever before. New
as this association is with its
limited publicity, the demand
for breeding stock has steadily
grown. Not a member Of the
association, of which there are
more than twenty, has a bull of
breeding age for sale and the
present supply of females is linn
tied.
1t is gratifying to note that
the majority of the surplus cat
tie sold have remained in Cape
Girardeau and nearoy counties,
all Of which win tend to develop
the demand and draw future
trade to home breeders. With
this increased demand in view
members of the association plan
to increase their herds in the
near future and show o DISPOSE
ton to supply the present de-
mand With their present herds.
The association sees a great
opportunity for beef producers
in Southeast Missouri and pro-
poses to have a hand in start
ing the cattle men in the right
direction by supplying their de-
mands at reasonable prices. 1t
is a result Of the hearty co-opera
ton Of the producers of beef cat
and the farm advisor who
represents the ideas of the Mis-
souri, College and Agricultural
Experiment Station working in
cooperation with the United
States Department.
