CLASS Of SO TO
VISIT OLE MISS
Class of 1869 To Be Guests of Univer.
sity During Commencement. Few
Survivals of Famous Class.

The class OF 80 is coming. Grand
old sons OF Ole Miss that they are,
they will be welcomed with open arms
by the students and faculty Of the
present college generation. These
sold Ole Miss men will have full free
dom OF the campus as Of yOre, and
doubtless the younger generations
will hear many breathless tales OF col
lege eScapades and freshman expert
ences besides which the commonplace
happenings of these MEDIOCRE days
will seem dull and uninteresting. The
University OF Mississippi is one Of the
oldest and most highly respected Uni
gersitieS in the south-yet she has sent
put no class which she would be more
Eager to welcome back than the class
)f '69. Statesmen, ministers, profess
;ors, doctors, men of science anflea1n-
ng are numbered on it's class roll.
The state Of Mississippi and the ma
ion at large has benefited largely
by the services of these men-and all
hat Ole Miss can do to welcome these
eturning heroes will be infinitesi-
nally small compared with the serv-
ces they have rendered.
Campus Has Changed.
. The campus scenes will in some re-
poets be greatly altered from the &C
ustomed scenes of those one-time
Die Miss freshmen-and perhaps. it
will require some effort on the part
If these veterans to conjure the IA
niliar scenes of their college days.

STAMP THEM oUT-QU10KLY.

When soldiers of America wh1
have served their country in war
are shot down in the streets ct
their home towns as an "exau,-
pie" of the attitude Of the Indus
trial Workers Of the Word to-
ward this people and their insti-
tutions, the time has come when
neither executives nor congress
men can longer palter with the
situation. sA ,a
Fhis outrage is exactly what
its perpetrators intended it to be :
A spectacular and provocative
demonstration Of hostility toward
the United States of America.
It is a declaration of internecine
war upon the government.
The /. w. w., the Social Rev
olutionists and all their allies Of
anarchism and radical socialism
are public enemies and outlaws.
They should be hunted down,
all who are guilty of treason
hanged by swift action of the law,
and those who have trodden how
ever timidly toward treason ex-
PEELED from the land. If emerg-
ency legislation is needed to speed
the machinery of Justice, Congress
should give the legislation, and if
martial law is needed in regions
infested by the Reds, then for mar
tial law We should provide.
TIE "Reds" are not Americans,
no matter under what names they
masquerade.
Their inspiration comes from
the dens of Central Europe, where
agelong misgovernment and inter
racial struggle have twisted and
perverted the minds and hearts OF
many men through generations,
where the distilled poison Of
hatred Of all law and order has
destroyed the capacity of a whole
class to understand or be willing
to live under any government

Many times the man who grows
up in his native village is regard
ed as a boy by his elders until he is
well started down the delivity
which ends in hole. The
stranger coming into a place may
not be So honest or so upright as
the home boy, but he is more often
pushed to the front, because the
transition of the boy into man
has been noticed by his everyday

why so many young men become
dissatisfied with their surround

BY w. PAYNE

NEW YORK. Jan. 3o:-"A league
or nations, future peace, world dem
ocracy, all the great ideals we have
fought for. are impossible while tho
Bolsheviki remain in power. Yet the
power of the Bolsheviki today is
greater h 1t has eVer been. Moth
ing but a police force of several hun
dred thousand allied troops can save
the situation in Russia. Unless Rus
STA is saved, the world cannot be
saved-the very work of the peace
conference Is likely to go for naught."
h Is the message brought to
America by Captain Ferdinand Pisec-
ky, of the Czecho-Slovakian national
council, who comes straight out of
the chaos of Siberia, via Japan, and
Is on his way to join President Masa-
ryk, of the new Czecho-Slovakia, for
whom he has been confidential repre-
sentative to the United States.
Ptsecky. formerly a professor in
the University of Prague, Bohemia. is
a brilliant political observer, as well
as a soldier.
Captain Pisecky believ~ the real
issue OF world peace will be settled
according as the allies help or desert
the Czecho-Slovaks in Siberia.
I'm a military way" he said, "the
Bolsheviki are today stronger than
ever. They have probably so, 900
good soldiers against us in the east.
We number only 10000, and have
suffered untold hardships.
