Why THE

The representatives from the hill section and
the COW counties Of Mississippi in the Legislature
seem to take to take a special delight in voting for
every measure calculated to Cypress the Delta sec
ton of the State, and in voting against everything
proposed for the benefit of the people of what they
are pleased to term the swamp country"
Why this unjust spirit m%anifests itself on all
occasions, The Commonwealth is unable to under
stand.
The Delta has only one Institution in behalf of
which a State appropriation is asked, viz: the Delta
Agricultural Experiment Farm at Stonevile-and
the pittance appropriated for this institution is
rather begrudingly voted for by the legislators from
the other sections of the State-some of them in
slsting that the small amount asked for is too much.
A different spirit is always shown by the Delta
representatives toward the liberal and numerous
appropriations made for the large number of State
institutions in the other sections of Mississippi
the Delta members always joining heartily in the
advocacy of every cent needed by the aforesaid
institutions and frequently their votes being instru-
mental in passing the bills by narrow majority and
preventing the gripping of the good work being
done IN behalf OF benevolence and progress in our
State.
Just last week the bill! appropriating $l25, 600 for
the celebration of Mississippi's Centennial anniver-
sary at Gulfport would have been defeated had the
measure not been supported solidly by the Delta
senators and representatives.
Why there exists SO much opposition to Delta
measures by the representatives from other sec
tons OF the State, IS a mystery to us.

THE VOICE OF THE REPUBLIC.

Col. Watterson, of the Courier journal, speaks
OF the vote in congress on the submarine warning
resolution in his own way when he says:
There was a desperate squirming among the
politicians, the hyphenates, the towards, the peace
at-any-price doughfaces, but there was no getting
around the issue which they themselves had raised
and which the president insisted they should settle.
And forced to vote, they voted.
AS a conseqn ence,e every other flag except the
Stars and Stripes has been hauled down from the
capitol and the flag that remains floats in full view
OF the world, re-emphasizing its message to the
humblest citizen of America and to the most power
ful despot OF Europe, that the republic for which it
speaks does not propose to blot itself out because
imperial absoluteism in its desperate death struggle
across the sea refuses to recognize any law OF man
or God"

WILSON'S VINDICATION COMPLETE

The vindication of President Wilson in his on
position to congressional interference in matters
pertaining to the foreign relations of the United
States government, is today complete. It may also
be accepted as a vindication of the presidents an
nounced position on the question of submarine
rights. AS forward as the latter has been placed
by those ardent advocates of it, the issue between
the president and a limited number of congressman
was the right or expediency of congressional inter
ference in the matter Of diplomacy.
The %agitators have been promptly and properly
sat upon. The president is now free to steer the
ship OF state in the course he may see ~cIearest,
through troubled waters. The ~agitators have been
corrected and, if, as we believe, their motives were
purely patriotic, prompted only by a desire to serve
their country as they saw best, they will not further
by action or even suggestion represent so insight
lcant an opposition as has been shown to exist.
It has been charged that German propaganda
ists had influenced the agitation in congress. which
mas han,pered the president in his negotiations with
Germany. These charges cannot be substantiated

The best exemplification of preparedness that
we know OF IS the farmer, pertinently suggests the
tire life is devoted to preparedness in some form.
he prepares to feed his stock in the winter by
raising corn and harvesting hay in the summer: he
prepares to feed his family by raising pigs and poul-
try and storing away peas and potatoes; he hauls
his flrewood in the summer to have it convenient
for use in the winter; he grows cotton to be pre-
pared to meet his obligations. His LIES endeavor
and provident man in other v~ocations does the
same things-he lives in a condition of prepared
ness. 1t is only when the individual is unprepared
The State also exemplfies preparedness. 1t
has its militia to suppress disorders, it has its jails
to repress crime. 1t is by reason of this condition
OF preparedness for any outbreak of human vicious
signs of the element that is constantly assailing its
integrity. The little municipality has its officers
to enforce its laws. Oftentimes these officers seem
violations OF the law to punish, but should an
emergency OF grave character arise the need of
executive officers is urgent and should they fail to
respond to the duties of their offices they are re-
called.
The farmer may never face poverty, the pro-
vident man may never face want, but it is noticed
that they never assume any risks and never relax in
against the adversary of old age. We are told in
the Good Book that one must prepare to meet
death-about the only instance of preparedness
that is generally disregarded.
If it is a good thing for the farmer and the arti-
san, the state and the municipality, to live in a state
of preparedness, why should it not be a good thing
for the nation? The State has its sheriffs and con-
stables, the municipalities their marshals to pre-
serve the peace and protect property rights of the
individual against the criminaly inclined, why then
should not the nation be adequately prepared to
defend itself against the ~covetous desires of rival
nations? A nation is a big aggregation of individ-
ual units, sWayed in its last analysis by the same
human nature that sways the individual, and we all
know that selfishness and greed are the dominating
factors in human conduct.
To our mind, the lack of adequate preparedness
for defense would be a crime against the very ex-
istence of the nation.

STATE CONVENTION. MAY IL.

The Democratic State Executive Committee met
in Jackson last Tuesday and called q State Conyen-
hon to be held in Jackson on May 18th for the pur-
pose of electing delegates to the National Conven-
ton. The county committees were directed to or
delegates to the State Convention. Inasmuch as
there is no opposition in this State to the renomina-
ton of President Wilson, there was no necessity for
ordering a primary election for the selection of del
gates.

France In Hindustan.

Surprisingly few people remember
that France owns five little tracts scat
tered over the peninsula of Hindustan.
They are Chandernagar near Calcutta;
Pondicherry, karikal and Yanaon, on
the Coromandel coast, north or south
of Madras, and Maize, on the Malabar
coast, almost due west of Pondicherry.
The total area of the five is about 213
square miles, but the population num-
bers about quarter of million. and
the total volume of trade is worth
something like 100000. only $780,
600 being imports and practically all
the rest being rice sent to France itself
or other colonies. Pondicherry, the seat
of government for all these tracts, is
eighty-three miles south of Madras.
