After long pressure, the United
States Senate has adopted the
amendment method of enforcing ma
tional prohibition. a method that
proposes that two-thirds of the states
shall decide what is good for the
whole in a maSs@k of domestic gov
eminent. Senator Underwood, Of
Alabama, consistent believer in pres
ervation Of government by the states,
voted against the proposition. In
this he stands with President Will
son and many time tried Democrats.
The amendment has yet to be pass
ed upon by the house of representa-
tives, and indications are that it will
pass there but not without fight"

Senator Vardaman's enemies
thought they had Pat Harrison ready
to run against Senator Vardaman
for the Senate, but it seems the
young statesman took cold feet at
the last moment and refused, in his
fourth of July speech, to make the
announcement. Pat is shrewd pol
itician, splendid young man and
we are very fond of him. He has
been wonderfully successful in all of
his campaigns and is certain to go
to the Senate as Mr.. Williams sue
cessOr unless he should make the
mistake of listening to the bunch of
political schemers who care nothing
for him. but who would rather see
Vardaman defeated than to haye
Germany conquered. If he runs
now he is doomed to the same OBJ
livion that claims Senator Pexcy,
because Jim Vardaman is stronger
than ever with the people of Missis-
sippi. He can easily defeat any
two of the strongest men that may
be put up against him. Scott Coun.

There are men in this community
capable of rendering this service to

the price asked for it before the out

every claim for exemption must be
passed from the local to the district

Another ordered local boards to
give to the press q list of those claim

so that false claims might be check

HOPEFUL.

The following editorial reproduc-
ed from Mondays News Scimital
presents hopeful outlook for the
early closing of tine war:
1.-THE American mission. headed by
the Hon. Elihu Root. brought back
no vain illusions concerning the situa-
ton in Russia. 1t merely verifies .
superstition long existing in the minde
of the people.
'But there is nothing in the condi-
ton to cause despair or even discour-
agement. Russia eventually will bring
herself together sufficiently to keep
several millions of German troops
employed. even though she should
not be able to again launch . great
offensive.
Within a year the United States
will be at its best and Germany will
be one year the worse for wear. RUSSIA
will show vast Improvement II the
American socialists and anarchists
and the German propsgandists can be
suppressed. France will be able to
bear the strain without loss OF force
or effectiveness, and the powers of
the British empire will only have
reached thor maximum.
ION the other hand Turkey, the
tool OF German intrigue. is broken,
and Austria is earnestly DESTROYS of
establishing peace. The morale of
Germany eventually must be affected
by the hopelessness of her enterprise.
German victory is quite impossible;
the extent of her defeat only is spec
ulative. Obviously the contest is dis
printing and disheartening to the Ger
man people and to the German army.
1.-The United States enters tho war
without encumbrance. with vast re-
sources and every needed material for
its successful prosecution at its COM
mand.
''Germany's statement following
the declaration of war was that the
United States did not have an army,
and if it had an army it did not have
the transports, and if it had the trans
ports the submarines would not per-
NIT them to reach Europe.
I'VE have recently appropriated
$40, 600, 900 for the construction of
the greatest air feet in the world. We
have in course of preparation an army
of 1000, 900 men. The question of
transports is in a fair way of solution,
and the landing of the American
troops In France without mishap ex-
cept to submarine, is the answer to
Germany's boast.
''Jf any one sees in this situation
discOuraging there is some-
thing wrong with his mental vision. |
He ought to consult an optomist."

Vardaman Defends the President

There could be no greater alb
surdity than that which is now
being circulated by the political
OppOsers of Senator Vardaman
These opposers consist largely Of
the old time Vardaman haters
augmented by few recruits.
These men have exhausted all
means known to them to preju-
dice the public mind, and have
resorted to all kinds of arts, in
situations and tricks. They now
declare that the senatorial cam
paign in Mississippi next year
will become fight between Sen
ator Vardaman and President
Wilson.
They declare that Mr.. Varda-
man has not agreed with MIR.
Wilson in everything that MIR.
Wilson has proposed, and have
assumed that because the junior
Senator has exercised his right
to vote convictions at variance
with those of the president that
the campaign will be projected
along lines of differences of opin-
ion between these two men.
Nothing could be more absurd.
There could be no difference be-
tween any true American citizen
and the avOwed policy of his
country after that policy had been
irrevocably fixed.
There is no truth in the state
ment that the Senator is opposed
to everything President Wilson
advocates. On the other hand. MIR.
Vardaman is among the staun-
chest defenders of President Will
son. This may be seen by his
reioinder to Senator Jones. of
Washington, when that gentle
man criticized the president for
allowing four large steel ships to
pass into the hands of a foreign
country. Senator Jones was Sc
we're in his criticism. when Mr..
Vardaman said:
'Mr. President, want to sug-
geSt to the Senator from Wash
ton that l do not think the presi-
dent deserves criticism for failing |
to do what the Senator has call
ed attention to. If those ships
are going to be used by the allies
| think il is a matter of prudence
to permit some other nation to
own and use them and thereby
let some other nation than our
own run the risk of having them
sunk at sea. | do not see any
for complaint or cause of
censure of the presidents failure
to take them oyer. On the con-
trary, / think the presidents con-
duct in the matter is highly COM
These ships are go
ing to serve the same purpose
that they would serve if they
were taken over by the United
States, and the government that
lakes them over will assume the
risk of having them sunk. So
DO not think the criticism of the
of the United States by
he able and patriotic Senator
rom Washington is deserved in
his instance" II
