A FRANK CONFESSION.

Those who read THE ISSUE
can but be amused at the "plea
of guilty" made by Missisippi's
Junior Senator in its last issue.
Vardaman in his plea of guilty
endeavors to excuse his ACT of
voting against the Ship Purchase
Bill by stating that the National
democratic platform had declared
against such measure. Conced-
ing that the Party had declared
itself against such measure,
ought not a majority of those
constituting the party have a
right to change the policy Of the
party at any time when, in the
opinion of the majority. the
best interest of the people
would be served? The Declare
ton of War in Europe gave rise
to new conditions and to meet
these the Party must adapt it
self to the circumstances. Thus
it was that President Wilson
said: I'm my judgment such
legislation speaking of the Ship
Purchase BilD is imperatively
needed and cannot be wisely
postponed. It (Congress) should
take action to make it certain
that transportation at REASON
ABLE RATES WILL BE
PROMPTLY PROVIDED" This
was the Presidents Message to
Congress urging the passage of
the Ship Purchase Bill at time
when the Southern farmer was
being offered five cents for his
cotton because there were no
ships to transport it across the
ocean to foreign markets. Which
is the more sacred, the interest
of the Southern farmer, = the
backbone, if you please, of the
Democratic Party, or the tradl-
tons of the Party? President
Wilson considered the interest
the farmer Of first Importance
and thus he urged the passage
of the Ship Purchase Bill. We
very frankly confess that the
Junior Senator's influence did
not defeat the passage of this
very importan measure, because
he, personally. has no influence
ar Washington, but, in this in
stance, he with two other pre-
tended Democrats, voted with
the Republican Party which vot-
ed solidly against the President
and thereby effected the defeat
of the bill by ONE VOTE ONLY.
Had this Bill been enacted in
to law we would today be adj
vanced twelve months on our
ship-building program and no
one can deny but that the one
thing needed to win this war
speedily is ships and more ships.

fact that was hung in the tim
bers. AS he made an effort to
relieve the animal it moved a.
bout and in SO doing, suddenly
crowded Mr.. Stems body against
a wall by which two of his ribs
on his lower right breast, were
fractured. DR.. White was call
ed in and sKillfully adjusted the
fractures and bound the ribs so
that healing will be rapid. The
wound will be pretty painful for
several days, and then Mr.. Steen
being a stout man will heal
rapidly and suffer less.

Whitfield spoke of the origin and
late history of the dreadful war
in Europe.
The News of Tuesday indicates
a big victory by the Italians over
the ra-Hungary army on
Sunday morning putting that
army into a complete rout, cap
turing many guns, food and
other much needed goods. Now,
it must be known that the Aus
trian army had only a few days
ago crossed the river Pave to
reach the Italian lines. A storm
of rain came on, and washed a.
way most of the bridges over
which they had come, while the
big guns of the Italians Destroy
most OF the other bridges. The
conditions were such that the
Austrian army for miles along
the Italian side of the river were
between the Italian guns and a
swollen stream. On Saturday
night the enemy commenced to
quietly retreat back across the
river las their supplies
were now cut off. On Sunday
morning early, the Italians put
out after them, sunk thousands
into the river. killed thousands
more and captured $4,000, put
ting the Austrian army into a
complete rout. Let some one
answer why was it that the
great river, Pave, should just at
that time be swollen and danger
Gus to he enemy? Back of all
this great victory, the terrible
cry of hunger all over Austria
and Hungary sounded in the ears
of those in power. Before the
News is issued this week, we
shall probably have read some
strange and remarkable news.
Mrs. Luther Lane, late of
Jackson, and formerly citi-
zen of Florehce, died at her

MANY CITIES START ZONING
Are Following the Lead of New York in Attempt to Save Hishclass
 Sections.

The zoning and building heights re- strictions. which when they were put into operation more than . year ago engendered so much opposition from certain interests, are now considered great step in city planning, a wonder full means of safeguarding sections from detrimental influences affecting the character of sections, which in turn produce loss in many directions, particularly fee value. Outsiders have watched the working of the restric- tions and are convinced that they are worthy of acceptance. More than half dozen large cities of the country are now preparing restrictions based on those of New York. This was dis closed at the meetings in New York of the American City Planning 1nsti- ute, which had for its special purpose a closer study of the restriction. Zon- Ing commissioners and city planners to the number of 100 attended the meeting. They came from Philadel- phia, Newark, St Louis and other cities where Zoning commissions have already been appointed to subdivide their cities into residential, trade and manufacturing zones.

Training Little Children.

Children are so open-hearted and ready and respond so sweetly and quickly to faith and trust that we often miss great happiness by not sharing our hopes and joys more freely with them.
 If we keep the bond very close, our home will become the great meeting place of all children, and this love and companionship between parents and children will be like powerful mag net whose attraction the children can not resist.
 So, from these beginnings the home tie will be so strengthened that we need never fear that the allurements of the world can draw our children from us, but can rest assured that they will always return to the "center of deep repose."
