OKOLONA MISS. NOV 20 1917

A mass meeting was held at
Okolona the other day which
passed resolutions condemning
Congressman Sisson for the sen
timents expressed in his speech
at that place last Thursday.
This resolution was signed by 1877
citizens, but nothing was said
about whether they were all
voters, or whether they were
from the town Of Okolona or
from the county Of Chickasaw
outside Of the town. Where the
people who signed the resolution
saw disloyal sentiments in Mr..
Sisson's speech, the people of
Grenada were pleased with it
and called it patriotic. The
truth of the matter is, the town
of Okolona has a young lawyer
who is very DESTROYS of running
for congress against Mr.. Sisson,
and the idea was to create oppo-
sition to the Presidents war
policies. Nothing doin', boys;
Sisson will go back to congress.
-Kosciusko Herald.
We reproduce the above as a
sample Of the methods of the
disloyal press in its attempt to
throw dust in the eyes of the
voters while the pets slides into
office. 1t goes all the way from
false statement and conclusions
to down right misstatement Of
fact. We say "disloyal" because
the Herald would suppress the
all important question now be-
fore the American people and
the world the war; for in an
other article it says, 1T is to be
regretted that so many able men
are making their race for office
on the question of war or anti
war;" showing clearly that its
wishes is to suppress discussion
of the war perhaps because its
idols happens to be on the wrong
side. That the Herald knows
Mr.. Sisson is not standing four
square with his government is
evidenced by the fact that the
Star Ledger, another paper pub
lished in the same city, took Mr..
Sissal to task for some express
sions he made ina speech there to
a small crowd"
Doubtless MIR. Sisson recog-
nized in the list of names signed
to the resolutions referred g
above, not only voters of t,c
fourth district but quite q NJ =
DER who have supported hia
from the day he entered te1
bustlings for ofice il the district.
For the HeTaid's benit we will
state that the resolutions were
personally signed by preachers,
farmers, lawyers, doctors, bank
ers, merchants, brokers, officials,
railroad men and even one news
paper man, voters or newcomers

Poor Car Service.
TO the Editor of The Star:

10 Ihe EultDr OF Inc star.
How much longer will the people of
Washington be compelled to put up with
the poer and inefficient street car service
in this city? There is not another city
in the country that would stand for II a
single day. We have a public utilities
commission, it is true. but if any one
can point to single thing they have
ever done to better the street car service
here, in any way, l wish he would step
out front and tell us what 1t is have
observed that at periodic intervals they
give out to the public press a lot of twad-
die about physical valuation" seven
square feet of space and other bunk to
they are doing something of real value.
What does man care for physical
valuation" and seven square. feet of
space" who has to wait twenty minutes
o-called rush hour?" This l have had
to do not once, but innumerable times,
and have no doubt there are thousa nds
in this city who can say the same thing
Again. why should not the two COM
panies be compelled to exchange trans
fers? Why should a person be compelled
to either pay two fares or ride all over
the District Of Columbia in order to reach
his destination? 1t is ridiculous and alb
surd in the extreme, and if the commits
sion has the legal power to force the
companies to honor each others trans
fers, why don't they do it? If they have
gress for it? I'll venture the assertion
that it would be readily granted.
In conclusion. permit me to say that
do not think the people of Washington
need expect any relief from the pub
lie utilities commission. l believe that
betterment of the street car service must
come either through enfranchisement of
the citizens of Washington or through,
municipal ownership of the car lines. and
I hope both will soon be here.

Additional Railway Tracks.

The second track of the Washing
ton. Baltimore and Annapolis railroad
has been finished from the Naval
Academy Junction to Admiral and it is
at present being used by the Pennsyl-
vania railroad to haul freight. Ever
since the cantonment was started the
freight from Odenton has been brought
over the Washington, Baltimore and
Annapolis tracks. AS soon as the
large shipments of lumber cease the
electric line will haul passengers over
the double track system, while the
Pennsylvania railroad is said to be
contemplating the laying of three
tracks from Odenton to Admiral. With
these added transportation facilities
the delay of supplies will be overcome.
The Camp Meade fire department has
added to it's equipment two purnping g
