THE LABOR CONFERENCE HERE.

There are but few things that exceed in Importance Just
now the matter of a satisfied and contented condition of labor
in Mississippi, indeed throughout the Union. AS is we'll under
stood, the negroes constitute a vast majority of the farm labor
in Mississippi. The insiduous labor agent makes his money by
keeping labor on the move, for instance, from MISSISSIPPI to
Arkansas and then he engages to do the same thing in Arkan-
sasa that he did in Mississippi-he gets the negro to move to
Missouri. Illinois or Texas. The proposition is to leave com
nunities undisturbed. The war is upsetting all business cal
culations but to permit laborers to be flched by labor agents
intonsifns all business problems. The labor organization in
this county, a write up of which appears elsewhere, is intended
to protect those who are employed as we'll as those who employ.
And further, it is a part of the plan of the government to see
that idlers and loafers are relieved of their hazardous DO
nothingness. 1t is the duty of all classes, whites and blacks
to cooperate in this timely move. We are glad to see so many
representatives of the best colored citizenship of the county
present at the labor meeting.

It is a grave mistake tor mothers to
neglect their aches and pains and suffer

sickness and often shortens life.

excitable, if you feel languid, weary OF
depressed. SCOTS Emulsion will
prove a wonderful strengthener.

invigorate the blood, nourish the

1t is a little amusing to watch what might be called the
ant-administration press in the bitter fight made against Pat
Harrison. In not a single case that we now remember have
any of these papers printed a vote, speech or public act since
Mr.. Harrison has be n in congress as a ground for their OPP
position.
If you have anything against Pat Harrison, gentlemen,
bring out his record and let that speak. 1t is public property,
and should be held to a strict account.
The only sin that Pat has committed is that he has stood
by the President, the Commandments of our armies in the
prosecution of the war.
That's the negro in the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Star Ledger.

WHO is LANDER?

"Who is Lander? Defender of Germany and a paid pro-
pagandist." is the title of a booklet just issued by the Pat Har,
rison Campaign Committee at Jackson. Lander, some perhaps
know, is now in Washington City sending out a weekly letter to
advance the political interests of our Junior Senator. Mr..
Lander PRETENDS now that he is supporting the President
but a glance at the files of the paper he edited at Hattlesburg
unit. the citizenship of that town got too hot for him, shows
that he was with Germany Just as long as it was safe for hnf
to talk Germany. The booklet takes Lander up and turns him
inside out. It shows that he was with Germany even after she
drowned our people without warning on the high seas and
after he knew of the outrages the Germans were committing
on the womanhood of the overrun territory. Write the Pat
Harrison Campaign Committee at Jackson for a copy OF the
booklet.

We are too busy to turn aside to give serious attention to
the twenty-nine gentlemen at Coffeeville, supporters OF senator
Vardaman. who attached their names to a communication which
appeared in the Coffeeville Courier last week as an advertise
ment. ostensibly defending the Newburgers but undoubtedly
irving to bolster UP the Junior Senator. There was not a line
or a sentence in anything we said that reflected even remotely
upon the Newburger family or any member of it. We are
persuaded that at least most of those gentlemen signed the
paper, as most of us too frequently do in such matters, largely
to accommodate the party presenting 1t and without really
realizing its full import. -t

TIME FOR HIM TO GET OUT!

The arrogant and murderous course of Germany in the
events which led up to this war were but a foretaste of what
the Kaiser intended to do to us if he had been victorious in
Europe. We could not do less than resent it and assert our in
dependence. To have failed to do so was to sink lower than the
despised, craven and cowardly Bolsheviki of Russia, scorned

Statement by Sir Horace Plunkett.
Speaking at the annual meeting Of

sided, said: All he would say about
the Convention was this:
There had been in that body no I'M
necessary delay. Any delay that had
been caused was to be explained by
one consideration only, and that was
that every member of that body wish
ed to arrive at settlement which
could come under the definition of a
substantial agreement.
A Substantial Agreement.

question never was a simple political
problem, and all political problems
were far more complicated and diff

things on which they were not agreed.
He could not tell them yet, If they
would be able to present a unanimous
report, but he could tell them that at
the end of their deliberations they
would leave the Irish question better
than they found it, because they had
agreed to many things, and those who
came to complete the task, which
they left unfinished will find that they

Rome, Jan. 2-Apropos of famous
man recently deceased, the French
sculptor, Rodin, La Tribuna relates an
interesting story of his visit to Rome.
AS you probably know this great man
was not inspired by Christian ideals
inded, it is perhaps because of the
pagan spirit of his art, it's roughness,
almost brutality, that it has been greet
ed so unreservedly with favor by the
ultra modern. Anyhow, the artist in
Robins soul rose to greet the Eternal
City when he arrived here with his
friends, Boni, Malvitch, and one or
two more.
He confided to the Italian his delight
in Rome, and his longing to attempt
bust of the present Pope. PERMITS
sion was sought and obtained, and
the master of modern French sculp.
ture presented himself at the Vatican
in correct attire for audiences, eve
ming dress, a mark of respect to which
he punctiliously adhered throughout
the time he was engaged on the pro-
posed bust. Benedict XIV received him
in his salon, seated in an armchair.

characterized his greatest works. But
the second day he began to lose conf.
dence, his hand became tremulous and
his manner nervous.
At the third sitting he completely
gave up and with apologies to His
Holiness departed almost in tears and
leaning heavily on the arm of his
friend Boni. He begged permission to
take the bust back with him to Paris
and complete it there. He confided to
his friend that he saw not only the
present but the past in the Pope, not
only all the Church stood for, but even
ancient and pagan Rome beyond the
martyrs within this one human rep
resentative of the power of the keys
but he could not catch the inspiration
which he wished to visualize. Some
time afterward he wrote to Rome say
ing that he hoped with time and pa
thence to make the bust of a chez

it eduded him. His friends said it was
good, it bore certain resemblance tt
the Pope, but the eye of>the artist was
not satisied-it represented too vague

at. And that was the last heard of the
