gression the territorial and politica
independence of all members OF the

main purpose of the league. III the

Article Y is the key that stabil-
ICES the League Constitution. Mr..

Mr.. Harrison.

Hon. Pat Harrison after the
adjournment of Congress, an
nounced that he would spend his
vacation looking over the safe"
battlefieldS of Europe. He has
now decided TO tour Mississippi
making speeches in the interest
of the League of Nations. Presi-
dent Wilson is in France and is
encountering opposition oyer
there in negotiating the plan. In
this country there is we'll de-
fined opposition to the League
of Nations. The President needs
help in this country to make
Americans see as he does. He
needs Pat and all who owe their
election to him to help him 10
make the people understand.
Mr.. Harrison is willing help
er. His election was predicated
upon the plank of standing by
the President. The people of
Mississippi are TO be treated to a
flood of oratory from the lips of
Mr.. Harrison telling them that
the President wants this League
of Nations plan and therefore
he is for it. That is about the
extent he will venture to go and
that is as much as the intelligent
people of this State expect him
TO do. Surely that ought 10 be
enough for those who voted for
him. 1t is about all he promised.

The people who think that the

and ran, will have another think.
The latest development over

to the Bolsheviks, is of course
made in Germany" The Hun $

has already destroyed all govern
ment, civilization, and industry in
Russia His theory is to organize
Russia industrially so that it shall
be tributary to Germany. The Boil
sheyiks are merely his advance
agents. 1t is their business to level
all social structures and prepare the
soil for the crop of German Power
If this situation is thoroughly un-
derstood, it can be met. Mean
while the people here at home who
were so confident that Germany
could be trusted because she had Oh
the surface adopted a democratic
form of government, would better
reflect that things are seldom what
they seem.-Yazoo Sentinel.

Jackson Central Labor Union)
Autocratic forces in America are
organized, and they are doing all
they can to take from the people
certain inalienable and Constitu-
tional rights. Chief among these
rights are the freedom of speech and
the freedom of the press.
A free press and free speech are
guaranteed to the people by the first
amendment to the United States
Constitution and by the Constitu-
ton of the State of Mississippi.
notwithstanding this fact. there
have been bills introduced into the
Congress which would in effect take
those rights from the people. And
there will be similar bills intro
duced into the Mississippi Legisla-
ture of 1920.
If censorship bill should be
passed by the State Legislature, the
Governor who signs it, and every
legislator who votes for the bill
ought to be recalled for violating
