WITHHOLD CRITICISM

The world should reserve its criti-
eism of Kerensky and the Russian re-
public. Demoeraeies are not born in
a day. neither is the character Of a
people changed over night. While the
pains Of new birth have temporarily
impaired her fighting power, given a
little time to adjust herself to the new
conditions, Russia may yet give a
good account of herself. Especially
should we of the United States with
hold censure, permitting as we do,
obstructionists and trouble makers to
stalk unmoIested through the land.
We might criticise with better grace
if we would fill some prison cells with
occupants for whom they have long
been waiting.
The above taken from The Browns
vile States Graphic is worth think
ing about. We were ready to praise
Russia when the democratic spirit
was in the ascendency and she was
fighting so nobly against Germany
This element is not in control now,
but we do not know how soon it may
be. and lets withhold criticism un-
til we see more Of its future action.

SMALL INVESTOR

The sale Of war saving and thrift
stamps is splendid opportunity for
the small investor. The Liberty bond
issue afforded the wealthy people q
chance to invest in a most profitable
way but the man Of small means
could not buy these bonds on the
account of their size.
The arrangement for the sale of
saving and thrift stamps are such
that all can become investors in gov
eminent securities. It is not only a
safe Investment but it pays well. You
not only do patriotic duty by hesp-
ing the government but you make a
profitable investment as well.
Every one should buy a war certi-
fcate. If you feel you can not do so
at the cost Of sap, it can be pur-
chaecd on the installment plan. Buy
a thrift stamp for Is cents. Get with
it card, with 16 blank spaces upon
it. Each space calls for stamp.
When is stamps have been secured
you will have four dollars on hand.
Present this with an additional IL
cents and secure a certificate worth
S4.12 now, but worth SIS to you five
years hence. 1t is an easy way to
save for children. 1t is simple
method Of saving for the poor, who
are ambitious to help, but whose fin
ancial resources are limited.
The Commercial Appeal referring
to the plan says; 1T is a case where
every little helps. No one can buy
more than 500 worth of stamps at
time and no one can have in his
possession more than 1000 in stamps
1t is scheme devised to reach a
class uanble to buy Liberty bonds.
Men with money should hold hands
Off. They will have another chance
to buy Liberty bonds. Give the poor
man, the poor woman, the boy and
the girl an opportunity to get in the
game in a small way. When they
have filled a book with Is war certi-
ficates they will have an Investment
that will be worth 500 in five years
time"

having to pay tribute to the German
government the balance Of our days.
You may give high sounding dis
questions on international ideals all
you wish, but when you sifl it down
TO plain ENGLISH it means now to
whip Germany or be whipped by
Germany
There is no time now for parleying
and critieizing, the time has come
for action and every true American
is expected to do his full part.
The government asks you to give
Of your means to help pay the ex-
pense of the war. You are not ask
ed to donate this outright, but you
are asked to make an investment in
war saving certificate stamps or
thrift stamps. In other words you
are asked to loan Uncle Sam some
money. He proposes to pay it back
with interest in five years. The pro-
position is within your reach. Your
country and your liberty are at stake.
Will you do your bit, and manfully
help the government in its great
crisis.
Remember, it is either whip or be
whipped and pay tribute. Which do
you prefer?

WAR AIMS

What are we fighting for? This
question has been asked often. For
democracy, for freedom, to prevent
Germany from ruling the world with
its brutal methods Of government,
and many other reasons have been
given.
There is one reason so plain that
the dullest American citizen should
understand. To keep the other fell
low from giving us a whipping and

The obstructionists:5 Small

And there is Vardaman, of

difference between Vardaman of
the present and Vallendingham
of 1868, who petered out as a
joke at the end of his career, is
that Vardaman has been regard
ed as a joke from the start. His
chief fear in life is that nothing
will be said about him, that his
presence will not be noted. If
sou can't praise him he wants
you to abuse him. Why is he
against the war? Why did he
vote against CONSUMPTION? For

spicuous in a very small group
than when he is one of q score
or more. Vardaman did vote
for the Food bill. But he would
be vexed if for that reason his
name should be omitted : from

While there is some error IN

The Initiative Invoked

Mississippi is now almost ex-
actly one hundred years old and
for the first time the people will
vote on a matter of direct legis-
lation as is provided by amend
ment to the state constitution.
DR.. Dunbar Roland is the prime
mover and the object sought is
to have a part of the old state
capitol set apart for the use of
the Department of Archives and
History, now domiciled in the
new building.
The old building has long been
out of use. but has recently been
overhauled and made into a
SPLENDID property much needed
by the state. This was largely
brought about because of the
historical associations connected
with the old pile, and it is but
fitting that the Department of
History should be located there
in. It will take no more room
there than it takes in the new
capitol.
In it's hundred years, our
state has made wonderful strides
toward making arecord Of which
Miss.ssippians for all time may
justly feel proud, and the state
has wisely made provisions for
preserving many records pei
tanning to it's doings, under the
management of DR.. Roland. OF
course there are some small peo-
pie, who had little to do with the
making Of creditable state histo-
ry, who would be pleased to see
DR.. Roland and his arrowheads,
old faded manuscripts and pic
lures" kicked off the states
or 3perty. But this will not be,
for most Mississippians are made
of finer stuff.
Two petitions, to hold 18C
names each, were sent here one
to Miss Margaret Smith and one
to us. Miss Smith began work
Monday and before Tuesday had
passed her petition was full,
sworn to, and mailed in. She
was 60 successful that we tn, ned
over 10 her the copy sent US, and
she will be pleased to see you il
you want to sign. provided
only that you are a voter. See
her and sign the petition and
thereby show that you are proud
Of your state and her history.
