An Important Undertaking.

DIR. L. J. Railey is engaged in
writing history of prohibition work
in Mississippi. He can get from
records all state legislation; but in
order to make book worthy of this
great movement, it will be necces-
sary to have at least an epitome of
the results of this legislation in the
various counties and towns in the
State. Any reader of this paper who
has in his possession in any form
any facts concerning prohibition
work in Mississippi, will render a
real service to his county and State
by putting them into the hands of

INEVITABLE.

War is inevitable. Germany
has perpetrated the overt act.
Three American ships have gone
down under the ruthless fire of
submarines. Another toll of
American life has been taken
without warning and in defiance
of right and international law.
The safety of American govern
ment has been threatened and the
dignity and honor of the nation
assailed.
There might have been a time
when discussion of policy how
best to avert a crisis was tOlera-
BILE, but when the crisis is at hand,
whether from adoption of this or
that policy. the time for discus
sion is past. There is no division
of sentiment among Americans.
There might haye been. as there
was, a difference of opinion as
how best to treat the situation, but
the situation has developed into
condition of menace and danger.
, There is, therefore. no division
of sentiment nor of opinion
among true Americans. The ma
ton is united in the determine
zion to stand behind the Presi-
dent with that oneness of pur-
pose characteristic of all liberty
loving people. No arm will fall
ter nor patriotism waver in its
devotion to the land of free
dom. The country will soon be
at the throat of Germany. Almost
the entire world is at the throat
of that unfortunate country, if
indeed that country is not near
its own throat in pending revo-
lutions and riots.
Years of imperialism and Prov
ess predicated on militarism
and dreams of world subjugation
and world domination is pending
a collapse in miserable failure.
The decadence of Germany as a
world power is inevitable. Built
upon the foundation of might
rather than of right, the folly of
that unhappy country has invit-
ed its own doom. Upon the ruins
will be builded higher and bet
ter civilization. but not until inn
perialism and militarism shall
have learned the lesson that the
forces of right will not permit
wrong to flourish long upon the
earth.

Our Supreme Courts.

The Supreme Court of both the
State and Nation handed down de-
cisions Monday of universal aimpor.
lance. The Supreme Court of the
4Natinn held the 4Adamson law fegu-
lating the time and wages of the
railway workers constitutional. This
practically settles the strike ques-
ton so far as railway workers are
concerned, and if other labor inter
ests OF the country are content with
the wages they receive, no further
trouble is likely to occur, If, on
the other hand, they should ever be-
come dissatisfied and ask Congress
to also fix the time they should be
required to work to constitute a
days labor and the amount they
should receive for it determined, to be
consistent and fair, that body would
have to legislate to satisfy them or
else subject the country to disas-
trous strikes in the future.
The State court handed down the
decision that makes the acts of the
State Tax Equalizing Board valid
and binding. Judge Sydney Smith
dissented from the opinion of the
court, holding that the powers con-
ferred on the board could result in
the taking of property without due
process of law, operating to vitiate
the security which the constitution
pledges to the rights of property.
This decision clothes the State
Taxing Board with power to place
any value it may dictate upon any
real or personal property in the
State. and holds that property as
security for any tax that may be as
sessed against it upon that value.
The taxing board has rocky
road to travel. If it stumbles on
that road, after the legislature meets
it may find itself without job.
The first step was made by this
board in equalizing taxes on personal
property last year. The second step
will be taken this year when both
real and personal property will be
appraised. If the board stirs up as
much discomfort this year as it did
last, the clamor of the people win
become so insistent that the legis-
lature will not fail to heed and will
abolish the commission.

"Pape's Diapepsin" makes sick,
sour, gassy Stomachs
feel fine.

Do some foods you eat hit back
taste good, but work badly; ferment
into acids and cause a sick, sour, sassy
stomach? Now, Mr.. or Mrs. Dyspeptic,
jot this down: Pape's Diapepsin helps
neutralize the excessive acids in the
stomach so your food won't sour and
upset you. There never was anything
so safely quick, so certainly effective.
No difference how badly your stomach
is upset you usually get happy relief IN
five minutes, but what pleases YOU
most is that it helps to regulate your
stomach so you can eat your favorlte
foods without fear.
Most remedies give you relief some-
times-they are slow, but not sure.
"Pape's Diapepsin" is positive in ner-
tralizing the acidity, SO the misery
won't come back very quickly.
You feel different as soon as ''Pape's
Diapepsin" comes in contact with the
stomach-distress just vanishes-your
stomach gets sweet, no gases, no belch-
ing, no eructations of undigested food.
your head clears and you feel fine.
Go now, make the best investment
you ever made, by getting large atty
cent case of Papes Diapepsin from any
drug store. You realize in five min
utes how needless it is to suffer from
indigestion, dyspepsia or any stomach
disorder due to acid fermentation.

regarding the request of the county Of
ficials.
Taylor, in his sworn statement of
work in supplying part of the names
to go in the jury wheel, reported that
he worked eighty days, for which he
was paid $320,-at the rate of 81 a day,
as allowed by law.
Since his report has been submitted.
Investigations show that on two days
for which he charged for supplying
names, he drew juries for court ses-
sions in 1916. receiving sS in payment.
This is an overcharge. County Commits
sioners Henry NJ. Slime, II. C. Wells,
and C. C. Cumbler claim.
Ask Taylor to Appear
Immediately after the discovery, Tay-
lor's report was gone over carefully

should appear before the Commission

Is required to supply about 800 names
to be put in the jury wheel, so that
they can be drawn for service the next
year. Edward Dapp, the other commits
sioner, also furnishes 500 names, and
President Judge George Kunkel the
same number.
The law requires that each day the
jury commissioner is at work picking
names for the wheel, lie shall be paid
81, regardless of the number of mares
furnished on that particular day.
Taylor's report, sworn to before Pro-
thonotary Henry +. Holler, shows that
on each of twenty three of the days
for which he was paid sS2, he turned in
only one name; on each of ten dys,
two names; and on each of six days,
three names. The remainder of the
time, the number supplied ranged from
four to fourteen.
One of the questions puzzling county
officials is why Taylor only turned in
bill for fifty days work for filing the
wheel in 1915, costing the county 5000;
while last year the bill was $500.
