CALLS CONGRESS-
FOR APRIL z
Wilson Summons Lawmakers to
Act on German Aggressions.
CABINET UNITED FOR WAR
The President Will Lay Series of Out
rags which Cost 200 American
Lives Before Congress.

President Wilson, recognizing Ger
many is virtually making war on the
United States, called the sixty-ffth
congress to assemble in extraordinary
session Monday, April 2.
The purpose of the session-now
called two weeks earlier than April 16,
the date first set, is to receive COM
munication from the chief executive
on grave questions of national policy,
which should be taken Immediately
under consideration" the presidents
proclamation announced.
The president, in his address to con-
gress, will detail how Germany has
been making war on the United States
by the ruthless destruction of Ameri-
can lives and ships on the high seas
in contravention of all the laws of ma
lions and humanity.
Congress then is expected to pass a
resolution declaring state of war
has existed between the United States
and Germany for some time.
Such a resolution In Itself will not
be declaration of war in technical
sense, although practically it will
amount to the same thing.
AS consequence, the United States
will take further steps to protect its
interests on the high seas and else
where. Whether an actual state Of
war will come to exist in its full sense,
will depend on the future acts OF the
imperial German government.
Since Sunday, when three American
ships were sunk off the British Isles,
with loss of American lives, the presi.
dent and his advisers have recognized
a state of war existed Tie sinkings
brought the total number of Americans
lost through German submarine opera
lions to more than 200. From all parts
Of the country have come calls for the
immediate summoning Of congress.
ALTHOUGH the president. under the
constitution, must leave it to congress
to make actual declaration Of war adj
vices which have GENE to the White
House from members Of congress, gov.
ernors of states, public officials and
hundreds of citizens, have declared
support of such a policy in its fullest
sense.
The cabinet, which urged the move
upon the president, is described by
it's members as having been more
thoroughly united than 1t has been on
any other question that has come be-
fore it.
The principal arguments against the
United States taking a further STEP
toward war were that virtually all that
could be done to protect American
lives and ships at sea had been done
by the arming of merchant vessels
It also was contended that an ack
nowledged state of war between the
countries would give Germany an op
portunity to carry her submarine war
fare to this side of the Atlantic.
Another argument was that, having
kept the country out of war so far
the president would be reluctant to en-
ter it now, when there are indications
of developments in Europe which
promise to hasten the end of the con
fiict. These arguments were wep
saside at the cabinet meeting.
All the resources of the United
States industrial as we'll as military
are being modified to place the ma
ton in the fullest state Of readiness
for eventualities.

A TIE IN THE HOUSE

Clerk Trimble, of the National
House of Representatives, has
officially announced that 215
Democrats and 215 Republicans
hold certificates of election as
members of the next House. Re-
turns from a number of districts
in several states were delayed and
official counts were required in
some cases to determine the sue
cessful candidate. With a tie
vote between the two parties it
will be left to Progressives and
Prohibitionists to name the
speaker. Louisiana elected one
Progressive Republican from a
sugar district, who will no doubt
support Speaker Clark for re-
election, as will possibly other
Progressives and Prohibitionists.
The Republicans have two candi-
dates, Representative Mann, of
Illinois, the present minority
leader who heads the old line
members; while Representative
Lenroot, of Wisconsin, is the in
surgent Republican candidate for
speaker. With this condition of
affairs. it is pretty safe to predict
the reelection of Speaker Clark.
The Democrats will be embarass-
ed, however, in their efforts to
continue legislation along the
lines which have been outlined by
the administration, on accounted
the closensss of the vote in the
House.

The question of calling an ex-
ira session of the Legislature to
pass more drastic liquor laws for
the state has raised an issue be-
tween Gov. Bilbo and Senator
Vardaman. The Governor has
informed the Senator that if he
will rid the District of Columbia
of whiskey that he, the Governor,
will look after Mississippi. The
close alliance that has existed be-
twee the Governor and our junior
senator does not seem to be al
together as strong as formerly.
Does this mean that they will
soon tread different paths while
they both seek the same toga?

As the boil weevil have inva-

more legumes will be necessary to

plant more legumes this year
than ever before which is going

bean seed.
Most of US know how lespede-

account of the seed supply being

besides dragging all the dirt

JOHN eARLEYcoaN. ct. A..


John Barleycorn seems to be of
few days and full of trouble.
The Supreme Court of the United
States has held that intoxicants
cannot be shipped into dry"
states. This means that the tran
portation companies will not take
consignmentS of whiskey for
points in dry states. The Legis-
lataures of Arkansas, Tennessee
and Texas are now in session and
measures will be introduced with
the view of putting the Webb
Kenyon law into effect. The
House of the Tennessee Legisla-
ture passed the dry" bill with
practically no opposition. The
Senate will also pass the bill.
The Arkansas Legisture will also
pass a dry measure. The
Legislature of Texas elected
prohibitionists to preside over
both house and the Senate.
This means that committees oppo-
sing the license law now prevail
ing in that state will be appoin-
ted to draft measures looking to
the exclusion of whiskey from the
Lone Star state. We hope to live
to see the day when no whiskey
is manufactured in the United
States.
Under the Harrison anti-nar-
cotic law, the Federal govern
ment has practically stopped the
of morphine, cocaine and all
of opium. This law work
ed a hardship at first on the un-
fortunate users of narcotics,
but we all know that it will be
the making of many a poor soul
who has been a slave to this UNI
fortunate habit.
Along with these measures, we

bucket shops made a
felony. That is one of the worst
evils of the day and our young
people should not have the ex-
ample of older people in high
places, both in church and state.

DEATH OF ADMIRAL GEo.DEWEY

DEATA OF ADMIRAL GEo.DEWEY
Admiral George Dewey died at
his home in Washington City
Tuesday in his 80th year. Ad-
miral Dewey was apparently in
good health and the news of his
serious illness was received
throughout the country with a
fesling of common sorrow. Ad-
hliral Dewey, together with
Rear-Admiral Schley, were the
heroes of the Spanish American
war and their names will be in
separately linked with the great
achievements of the American
navy. The navy of the United
States does not have the rank of
admiral. Only two men-Far-
ragut and Porter-before Ad-
miral Dewey, have ever held the
rank of admiral, which honor
was conferred in each instance
by act of Congress.
Admiral Dewey was a gradu-
ate of the Naval Academy at
Annapolis and first saw service
during the civil war. AS a COM
modore he was commanding the
Asiatic fleet when the Spanish
American war broke out. He
was ordered to capture or de-
stroy the enemies fleet" and the
first thing he did was to cut the
cable, thus shutting off all fur
ther orders. On a beautiful Sun
day morning, the first day of
May, 1898, he sailed into Manila
Bay and proceeded to sink and
capture every Spanish vessel in
sight. A German Real-Admiral
being present with his squadron
attempted to interfere with Ad-
miral Dewey's plans when he
was notified that if he got be-
tween Dewey's squadron and the
Spanish fleet his vessels would
be fired on Immediately. The
kept out of the way.
Admiral Dewey since that fate
day has been the nations he
70. Every notice of him has
always been received with de-
by the American people
and the nation today mourns one
Of its most beloved and honored
heroes.
