WIS.,

Local patriots have been very busy
all week conducting the drive for the
sale Of War Savings Stamps and the
greatest success has attended their
efforts. Especial mention is due the
colored population of Tensss parish
for the generous, yea enthusiastic.
manner In which they have subscribed
for these national securities. And 1t
is we'll they should IL they don't want
the Kaiser to water his horse In the
Mississippi river. But we will say to
them that when that happens there
won't be . man left in Americs-or
Europe either, to argue the question
with His Satanic Msjesty's Chief En-.
voy. The United States has been sue
cessful in every war in which she has
ever engaged, and the present great
est of all wars shall certainly be no
exception to that we'll established pre-
cedent. Hence we will comfort our
colored friends by the assurance that
they need have no fears that the
Kaiser will ever water his horse from
either bank of the great MISSISSIPPI
| river.

ARTHUR 3. CONWAY.
(From vicksburg Post, Saturday, June ~


Arthur B. Conway is dead. The
end came this morning at DAD
O'Clock at his home, Clay street and
Howard avenue.
Few realized his desperate cOndi-
ton until few days ago. He had
been suffering with Bright's disease
for some years, but he remained on
his feet, looking after his duties and
attempted to maintain his cherry
attitude up until few weeks ago.
Mr.. Conway leaves loving wife
and two little children, Burrell, a
manly little fellow Of II, and kath-
leen, her fathers devoted compan-
ion, 9. 1t is indeed sad that the
head of this happy little family has
been removed all too soon from his
place of need and scene of his con-
tentment.
In addition, Mr.. Conway is sur
vived by a brother, Waverly Con-
way, and four sisters, Mrs. Nat Hog
gait, Mrs. Louis P. eastman. OF
Vicksburg, Mrs. ]. w. Mann and
Mrs. George Bolls, of Oklahoma
City.
The deceased gentleman was born
and reared here, and from the time
that he was a mere boy many re-
sponsibilities rested on bis shoulders.
In all life's battles he proved up
right and honorable, manly and
kind.
For over twenty years he was en-
ployed in the Warner & Searles
Company and in later years was
made secretary and acquired an in
terest in the concern.
Gaining a large mountaineering
both here and on the road" where
he had frequently made trips, he
made and kept friends who admired
his staunch qualities.
In his business dealings he was
ever thoughtful and considerate.
His home life was always pleasant.
COmpanionable with his wife and
children, his chief desire in life was
to be with his family and to make
them happy.
Mr.. Conway was held in highest
esteem by the entire community and
his untimely passing at the age Of
80 years will cause great sadness
among his relatives and friends.
He made a gallant fight against
the insidiOus disease which clutched
him. and he hated to come to thu
final parting with his family, though
he faced the future unafraid. con
sciOus that he had lived a clean anC
useful life. and that his goodness
and affection had endeared him t.
all who had known him.

MPINe OUT THE STATES.
New York World, June 7th.l


II any old fashioned Democrats re-
main, they must read with uneasiness
the message sent by President Wilson
to Q member of the Louisiana Senate
urging the Legislature of that State to
establish Woman Suffrage.
This is State measure with which
the President has nothing to do, but
It will be recalled that last January
he recommended favorable action by
Congress upon the proposed constitu-
tionsl amendment, with which also,
In his official capacity, he has nothing
to do. Although the House OF Repre-
sentstives has given the amendment
the necessary two thirds majority, the
supporters of the project in the Sem
ate have not yet been sure enough OF
their ground to risk vote in that
body. The Louisiana telegram may
have been intended in roundabout
way to influence the decision of the
United States Senate or the represent
atives of that State i'm the Senate. II
not, It must be accepted as startling
interference by the Chief Magistrate
In matter always held by the Demo-
Gratis to be within the sovereign powers
Of the States.
In the process for amending the
Federal Constitution no account is
taken of the President. His approval
10 not necessary at any stage OF the
proceeding and he has no power OF
veto. Since the makers of the Con-
stitution were extremely careful to
leave national amendments wholly in
the hands OF Congress and the State
Legislatures, it must be admitted that
Presidential recommendations for OF
against State amendments are as ques-
tionsble In point of taste as unwar-
rsnted in law.
Surprise in this instance, however
results not 80 much from what has
been done Is from the fact that the
innovation must be attributed to the
most illustrious Democrat of our times
A Prohibition Amendment submitted

British Primate Lauds
Americas War Work
Archbishop of York Urges
Steadfastness, in His Final
Message to People Here

The Most Rev. Cosmo Gordon Lang.
Lord Archbishop of York, delivered his
final message to the people of this city
yesterday at the midday service at
Trinity by urging steadfastness in the
war and paying tribute TO the work
America has done so far in the crisis.
He reminded his hearers that peace is
not always an unmixed blessing, and
urged the need of closer tie with God
in times Of stress.
Nearly year ago, on last Good Fri
day, this country decided to take its
place on the battle line Of civilization,
said the British Primate, and it was,
therefore, appropriate that ne should
bid his farewell to the city at such a
time as this.
Many lives, he told the congregation,
must be sacrificed before the end fan
come, and now is the time TO think of
the sorrowing homes that must be cast
into mourning 1t is only in times of
great trial, such as that now upon the
world, that the real greatness of a
people is shown forth, not only to
other nations, but to themselves, he
said
An hour before the Archbishop ar
rived the church was crowded to the
dDors and a dense throng packed the
outside, striving to get in. At the end
Of the service those trying to get out
were blocked by the crowd before the
church, and it vas half an hour before
the surging mass could be stra!ghtcncd

FoodstuHs Shortage
Disturbs Sweden
Minister of Agriculture Tells
Riksdag Bread Rations May
Re Cut

STOCKHOLM, March THE out
look in Sweden for foodstuffs and fod-
der grain is disquieting, said Minister
of Agriculture Petersen, in answering
an Interpolation in the Riksdag to-
day. The present supplies of bread
stuffs will suffice until the first days
of July, and about $4,000 tons of grain
more will be required to carry the
country through until next harvest. A
total supply of 100000 tons of oats
will be required for the same period,
and of this supply only 10000 tons
are on hand.
The minister expressed the hope that
some grain which is not as yet
thrashed will increase the available
supply, but if this is not true and i
no importations are possible, it will
probably be necessary to decrease
bread rations except for manual la
borers. The State Household Commits
sion has decided to regulate potato
consumption and will allow ration
of two Kilograms per person :. week.

DR.. Garfield Announces
Regulations for Sellers
and Buyers
Jail and Fines
For Violators
Anthracite Cut 80 Cents a
Ton and Consumers
Urged to Buy
[Stdf Co7.respondencc1

WASHINGTON, March 8.-Fuel Adj
ministrator Garfield to day made public
regulations covering the distribution of
all coal for the next fuel year, begin
nlng April l. Retail anthracite prices
arc to be reduced 80 cents a ton be-
tween April l and September /. The
outstanding features of the new regu-
lations are:
1. Rigid checking of all coal dis
tributed on the basis of fuel stocks on
hand, past consumption and needs for
the coming year.
z. The encouragement of domestic
coal purchases during the summer
months when production at the mines
is highest and transportation con-
ditions favor the movement of coal to
consuming centres
Coal retailers are required to report
to the local fuel administration repre-
sentatives on all deliveries. Retailers
are forbidden to sell to any consumer
fuel supplies in excess of his normal
demands, as indicated by certified
statement reporting his requirements.
Spring and summer purchases of do
nestle coal are encouraged by reduc-
ton in the price of anthracite coal dur
ing this period. The reduction of 80
cents ton on anthracite to the con-
sumer between April and September
l is a deviation from the usual trade
practice, which permitted a reduction
in April of so cents and rise of 10
cents month until the reduction be-
came III cents in August
Distributes the Demand
ms change was explained TODAY by
Dr. GARFIELD as being in the interest OF
the average consumer, who cannot af-
ford to purchase his entire winters
coal supply during the early months of
tne coal year, and as having the further
effect OF distributing the domestic fuel
demand over the entire spring and
summer.
State and local fuel administrators
receive considerable latitude unde1 '
the regulations announced to-day. In
the larger communities it is expected
that the provision for Terrified state
ments of fuel needs to regular dealers
Will be followed, but some local fuel
officers may choose to put the card
system into operation. This has the
advantage of permitting the consumer
to deal with several retailers so long
as he does not exceed the gross amount
of fuel allotted to his use.
Both dealer and consumer are liable
under the Lever act for violations, the
penalty clause in the law providing a
fine of $4,000 and two years imprison-
ment.
"Fuel control was new thing the
last winter" DR.. Garfield declared to-
day, "and there was some justification
for such leniency as has been shown to
those who have violated the govern
ment fuel regulations. Now, with a
years experience with fuel control and
the obvious needs for conservation and
the prevention Of boarding, public SEN
timent will support rigid enforce
ment of the law"
The regulations are as follows:
"(A) Until further notice no domcs-
tic consumer of coal or coke shall pur-
chase, receive or otherwise take pos
