President smith ought tc
know that the people oI AIIssls-
slppl are SICK ana tired OF school
teachers using these Dig colleges
as political assets, and more he
ought TO know they are not go
ing to stand Tor it.
For many years this same
school that spends millions OF
the states money, has been in
the throeS OF politics.
Hardy and Hightower were
constantly before the public as
candidates for Governor. And
now President Smith seems bent
on the same game. Everybody
knows that Mr.. Smith has been
trying 10 work himself up to
that degree OF courage to run
for Governor for several years.
He knew this when he accepted
the presidency OF this great
school, and now after getting
started q year OF so he is endea-
vorlng TO use this place as a po-
itical pull.
We have no objections what
ever TO Mr.. Smith running for
any Office, although if he runs
for Governor at this time il
means his sure defeat, yet he is
doing a great wrong by accept
ing this place as he did, and by
running at this time. If he
knows anything about teaching
school he can do more in help
ing train the boys to lick Ger
many than he can in being Gov
eInOr for several terms.
President Smith is trying to
pose as a no faction, non-parti-
san candidate" when as a mat
ter Of fact he is one of the most
rabid ants the state has ever
had. He has abused Vardaman
like a cur dog, and even recent
ly stated that anybody that vo-

nan, or words to that effect, and
has said all sorts Of mean things
about Governor Bilbo. He be-

are tired Of the affair and would
be willing to talk matters over.
1t has been our impression all
the while that we have been try
ing to reach the German people
with various kinds of propogan-
da, in order to bring pressure
for peace on the military autho-
rites at Berlin. At the out
break of hostilities we stated
that we were not making war |
on the German people, but on
the military plutocracy at the
helm of the government. Now, !
thru Prince Max, the representa-
tive of the peace element in Ger
many, we have PROPOSAL, that |
we talk matters over and see if |
we can come TO some under
standing. And to this proposal
the military authorities OF
America turn a deaf ear.
That the allies Of the Ameri-
can Government are disposed to
consider the proposal is shown
by their attitude in waiting for
Washington to take the initia-
tive. They want to know if we
have had enough.
We doubt seriously the policy
of the authorities to continue
the struggle until we have utter
ly destroyed military autocracy
in Germany. 1t is obvious to
all that the work will not be COM
plete with the surrender of Ger
many.
When we entered the strug-
gle, it was stated officially, that
we were not out for conquest or
indemnities. If this is the case.
then what is to be gained by a
continuation of the struggle |
when our enemies say that they |
are ready for peace?
1t is quite true that we may
not adjust matters at the first
conference, but it is safe to wage
that if the European peoples en-
gagged in the struggle get a
slight cessation of hostilities in
an effort to Stop further slaught-
ar. hat they can never be pei
,ca led to starr the fight ove-
Az aTmiStice n0w means peacr.
1t is such a pity that the rep
resentativeS interested in wo-
nan suffrage and other Consti-
.utional Reforms do not provide
he Initiative and Referendum
n order that the American peop-
e might speak directly concern
ng the present peace proposal.
f that portion of the American
people, who are supplying the
man power for the struggle,
could speak officially, the autho-
rites at Washington would
change front in short order.
The only remedy against fu-
ture conflicts, is to have a gov
by the people absolute.
When the rank and file of the
Nations who are to occupy the
trenches can direct the policies
of their Government, war will be
A League of Nations
Will prove no preventative, but
a League of the people will.
Let's hear what Prince Max
has TO say. He might suggest
something else. if we don't like |
the first proposal, and if we don't |
like any of them-then we can
fight on.
Many is the man and the ma

they were too stubborn to con-
slider a compromise.

ersnent.
4 nomination in the democratic
primaries is equivalent to an elec-
ton in this state. Therefore, the
men nominated in today's 'primar-
les are the men who will make the
government for the next two years.
Remembering this, it becomes the
duty of the good citizen to see that
only true and tried men are elected
to office. He can do this in no other
way than by himself appearing at
the polls and casting his ballot for
the best man who is offering for ev-
cry office. 1t is as incumbent on
a man who desires to do his duty to
go to the polls and vote as it is to
pay his taxes, or perform any of
the other duties of the citizen. If
he fails, he neglects his state. He
allows his own business to suffer
through his own default. He is un-
mindful of his neighbor's rights. He
cares not for the country.
We have every confidence that
the best men will win in today's
elections. The times demand that
we give the country the best we
have. It is no time to talk about
friendships, and kindred and the
needs of men running for office. 1t
is the day when every man, however
humble, should measure up to the
standard of a patriot.
Go to the polls and do your duty.
Let nothing keep you away.

Pleasing News to

|
Washington, Aug. 22.-Strictures
upon failures, disappointments and
delays in the American aircraft pro-
gram are coupled with praise for
what now has been accomplished,
and a statement that quantity pro-
duction soon may be expected in a
long report submitted today by the
senate military subcommittee on its
aircraft investigation. While COM
menting favorably upon reorganiza-
ton already effected, the committee
strongly urges one man control thru
the creation of a new department of
aviation headed by cabinet men,

Waste of millions Of dallars, faul-
ty executive organization, improper
location of training fields, and en-
ployment of inexperienced inspect
ors and favoriteism to contractors
are among the faults charged to the
old organization by the committee.
The report is impersonal, explain
ing that questions of individual dis
honesty or official corruption were
left to investigation to the depart
ment of justice inquiry directed by
Charles E. Hughes. 1t was submit
ted with unanimous Endorsement of
the senators who have conducted the
inquiry during the last few months.
SENATOR Thomas of Colorado, chair
man, and Senator Reed, of Missouri,
Smith of Georgia, New, of Indiana,
Frelinghuysen, of New Jersey.
After approval by the full military
committee, it was read to the senate.
In a statement later commenting
on the report Secretary Baker said
the country should be gratifed to
know that quantity production of
airplanes is now assured. Senator
Thomas put letter in the Record
from Howard E.. Coffin, former chair
man of the aircraft production
