TAFT REPLIES
TO sen. BORAH
Declares That Recognition of the Prin-
ciple of Monroe Doctrine Makes
the League of Nations
Acceptable.

San Francisco, Feb. 2l.-Former Presi-
dent William H. Taft, addressing the
closing session of the Pacific coast con-
gress of the League to Enforce Peace
last night, replied to his critics and OPP
ponents of the plan for the establishment
OF a league of nations and referring par
ticularly to an open letter addressed to
him by United States Senator William
Il. Borah of Idaho, which questioned the
efficacy of the Monroe doctrine in the
event the league OF nations plan was
adopted.
Senator Borah wants to know, in
what he calls an open letter." said Mr.
Taft, whether | would consent to a
league of nations in which the Monroe
doctrine is not recognized | will answer
him by saying that / would like to have
the Monroe doctrine acknowledged spe-
officially by such a league, but if a recog-
milton of its principles is contained in
the covenant for such a league | would
not object to the form in which it is put.
Article X. of - covenant drafted in
Paris extends the Monroe doctrine to the
entire world and gives it the backing of
the entire world, Consequently it Tecog-
nizes the Monroe doctrine, and ! am in
fair support of that covenant.
What | would like to ask Senator
Borah is this; If he insists upon the spe-
cifc acknowledgement of the Monroe
doctrine in the covenant OF the league of
nations and if such recognition is given
it in the covenant as finally agreed upon
in Paris, will he vote for a treaty based
upon the covenant as finally amended
THE wild words of Representative
Foss and Senators Reed and PoindeXter,
shot out into the air on the theory that
the people of this country do not read or
that they will accept their bald state
ments unquestioned, would be humorous
if they were not the utterances Of such
eminent and learned gentlemen

Houses of Many People Have
Been Searched and
Papers Seized

Paris, Feb 2l.--"Premier Clemenceau
is progressing as well as possible We
shall not feel altogether treasured for As
hours, but then he viii be out of danger,
said Georges Mandel, Premier Clemen-
eeau's chief clerk, to Marcel Hutin, edi-
tor of the Echo de Paris, over a telephone
at an early hour this morning. IN,
Clemenceau at that time was resting,
and we are informed that his condition
continued satisfactory"
"The only possible danger" said a
celebrated French surgeon, who was con-
suited by the Matin, and it is, fortu.
nately, a very problematic one, is the
appearance of local pulmonary eonges-
ton caused by reaction. Such an event
uahty has not developed and the robust
constitution and magnificent vigor of the
Tiger are against such complication.
If by tomorrow night there is no tenn
perature, our confidence may be changed
to an assurance of absolute recovery.
Every day that passes without fever APP
pearing doubles the patients chances"
The police were busy all day yesterday
on the Coffin case and searched the
houses of some 80 members of the Com
munist Federation 81 the Department of
the Seine. Enormous masses of papers,
tracts, circulars and pamphlets were car
ried off.
The newspapers say that papers seized
at the Office of the journal Libertaire
establish the fact that regular bolshe
vik organization is in existence in Paris
and that it has important ramifcatioIfs.
Premier Clemenceau has received a
message from Central and South Amer
lean delegates to the peace conference
expressing their profound sympathy, their
indignation that an attempt should be
made against his person, and their best
wishes for his rapid and complete recov-
cry. The message was signed by dele
gates from Bolivia, Brazil, Cuba, Ecua.
dor, Hayti, Panama, Peru and Uruguay.
Pope Benedict, through Cardinal Am
cite, has sent a message to Premier
Clemenceau congratulsting him on his
escape and expressing hopes for his early
recovery. The premiers home in Rue
Franklin is filled with flowers, one offer
ing being from the midinettes, or girls
employed in millinery establishments,

CLEMENTS REASONS
FOR SUFFRAGE VETO
Full Text of Accompanying Letter as
Submitted to the Vermont Legis-
lature Thursday.

lature Thursday,
The full text of the reasons why Gov
ernor Clement vetoed the bill giving
women the right to vote for presidential
electors is hereby given:
To the Honorable Senate; I have the
honor to return herewith without my
approval Senate bin No. 8, IAN act to
give women the right to vote for presi.
Dental electors" for the reason that:
This bill md Ees to prescribe quail
ifcations for tat = the treeman's oath
and to confer upon women the right to
vote for presidential electors.
Without considering the expediency or
inexpediency, the desirabiity or unde-
STABILITY Of the measure proposed, or
the possible benefit or mischief which
may result from its passage, inasmuch
as it undertakes to confer the elective
franchise TO be exercised at the presiden-
tial election. it Is of paramount impor.
lance that its validity should be unim-
peachable; and, if there is any reason
able doubt Of its constitutionality, it
should not become q law. II is an under
taking on the part of the legislature to
prescribe the qualifications of voters at
the election of presidential electors.
The constitution of the United States
while it prescribes specifically the class
of citizens entitled TO vote for members
of the national House of Representatives
and senators of the United States, does
not undertake to prescribe the qualitica
tions Of voters for presidential electors,
but does provide; Each state shall ap-
point, in Zach manner as the legislature
thereof may direct, a number of electors,
equal to the whole number of senators
and representatives. 30 which the state
may be entitled in the Congress" etc.
and further provides, The Congress may
determine the time of choosing the cleo
tors, and the day on which they shall
give their votes; wb.ch day shall be the
same throughout the United States"
The Congress is not authorized to de.
termine what shall be the qualifications
of voters for presidential electors. The
Office is created by the United States
constitution, and the number of electors
is determined in part by the population
of the respective states, individually, and
with reference - the fact that each state
is entitled to representation, as state,
in the Senate of the United States. Their
function is a choice of tae president and
vice president of the United States, of
fees created by the constitution Of the
United States, in which the people of
this country and this state have such in
terest, both in the choice of the individ-
tts1 aud tbn uta bilitv nf HE fevtvn nf Of
fee as to require the utmost caution in
the exercise Of the elective franchise.
Both the national and state governments
should exercise the powers which respeG-
lively belong TO them, according to
fair and practical construction of the
rights of the state and the rights of the
United States, for they are essential to
the preservation of our liberties and the
perpetuty of our institutions
The constitution and laws of Vermont
treat the elective franchise as a sacred
trust committed only to that portion Of

The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1919-10-31

The proposed constitutional amendment Wflcn VIII ID t OH
the ticket to be voted next Tuesday seeks to make q serious
departure in the application of public funds.
It is sought to amend Section 206 of the Constitution OF
Mississippi by authorizing the legislature to make an "addi-
tional appropriation" out of the State Treasury for schools In
certain localities and to place the said " additional appro-
priation" in the hands of the State Board Of Education tor
distribution; or, in other words, gives tho State Board OF Ed
ucation the power to say where the money shall go. +.
1t is the turning of the money over to the Board of Educa-
ton to apply or distribute that makes the amendment not
only obiectioinal, but dangerous. In making this statement
no reflection is intended to be cast on the present worthy
and jealous State superintendent of Eeducation and his ap~
pointed aides-we would feel the same way about it re-
CARELESS of who was State Superintendent of Education: :.
Had the proposed amendment left the additional funds
sought to be provided to the legislative mind rather than to
the State Board of Education, the amendment would have
been on travelling grounds.
1t will be remembered that there have been one or two
efforts heretofore made to tinker with this Section OF our Con-
stitution and that they have all died aborning.
There is too much tendency today to organize boards and
commissions, and the public school men of the country are
among the leaders in multiplying organizations. 1t is we'll
known that certain educators have other amendments up
their sleeves" and with this one out of the way, the next step
will be to take from the people the election of their county
superintendent of education and lodge that power in a board.
We make this statement of fact about the proposed amend
ment for the benefit of our readers without urging action one
way or the other. Let the people vote with their eyes open.

SHOW HOW AND WHERE SPENT

There is a well defined sentiment in the County that some
time ere long there should begin a campaign for the purpose
of issuing bonds to build permanent roads, and it might be
well to observe in passing, that in order to share in the road
funds appropriated by the Federal Government, permanent
road building is necessary; however, it occurs to US that 1t
would be we'll that the taxpayers of the County have a detail
ed statement of how the money derived from road bond sales
and from taxes for the past three years has been appropriated.
The public is entitled to know just exactly what roads and
beats have been the greatest benefciaries and how the money
put into the County treasury has been used. Let's see what
we have done with that already collected and appropriated
before we start on a crusade for more money.

The films will be distributed
throughout the state, by a center dis

As these pictures belong to the peo-
