House Bill No. "a. Lee M.
Russell claims that Oscar John
ston did not vote for the bill pre-
venting the black-listing Of en-
ployees by corporations, railroads
and other concerns. Lee M.
Russell is either wilfully misrep-
resenting the facts. or he does
not know what he is talking
about. The bill was introduced
in the House in 1903 and was re-
ferred to a committee, of which
Oscar Johnston was a member,
and Johnston voted in favor of it
in the committee and advocated
it's passage and it was passed
unanimously by the House. Thus
is it shown that another Of Rus
sells claims is exploded.
Several other bills are men
toned by Russell on which John
ston did not vote. None of these
bills had any opposition in the
House and all of them passed by
practically unanimous vote.
1t has been used by Russell
and his Campaign Committee,
that Oscar Johnston voted
against the Head Light bill. He
voted for the Head Light bill as
shown by the House Journal of
1912Iat page 449.
Russell also claims that, John
ston opposed the Child Labor Law
He does not tell you that in 1908
when Oscar Johnston in
troduced a bill to raise the age
of consent in Mississippi from
10 to Ia years that Lee M. Rus
sell worked and voted against
it and gave as his reason there.
for that it would cause the pros
ecut;on of a large number of
negroes. In other words, in or
der to protect negroes from get
ting their just deserts, Lee Rus
sell was opposed to protecting
the white girls of Mississippi.
Do the people of Mississippi be-
Iieve that Russell is sincere in
his protestations of friendship
for the children of Mississippi
when he, in an open statement,
gave utterance to such views as
these?
We are perfectly willing to
submit our cause to every class
of voters of Mississippi on Oscar
Johnston's record as he made it.
But, we do not propose to endure
Misrepresentation of the type of
that shown above to have been
indulged in by Russell and his
Campaign Committee.

The Berlin correspondent of the Mai

declares that for the purpose of re

as organizers of the new republican
armies.

These men are the real governors
of Germany" he says. They make
the edicts and Chancellor Scheidemann
and his colleagues willingly sign
them"
Similar testimony is given by other
correspondents in telegraphing from
Berlin, some stating that the capture
of the suburb Of Lichtenberg has been
Intentionally prolonged with view to
discriminating the Spartacans whose
treatment at the hands of the govern

While alleged atrocities are attribu.

have been given are doubted or de.

to be much exaggerated. The CORE.

extreme bitterness has been created
against the government troops and
that further trouble is inevitable.

HOW A MAN FICKS A WIFE
Some Conclusions That Have Been
Reached by the Registrar at the
Boston City Hall.

Edward w. McGlennen. registrar at
the Boston city hall since 100. who
keeps record Of that city's marriages.
has found in his study of the subject
of selection that association deter
| mines mans course In the selection
of his wife, and when you have chosen
your vocation you have automatically
chosen your lifemate ut the same time.
observes the New York Herald. Mr.,
McGlennen has found that tailors mar
~ tailoresses, longshoremen choose
mattresses, many employees and clerks
marry stenographers, while profession
al men more often pick their wives
from the girls in society in which they
move.
After eighteen years of daily obser-
walton of the way and habits of pro-
spective homemakers, Mr.. McGlennen
has come to the conclusion that prox-
unity is the chief determining factor
In mans choice of wife.
In the long and voluminous marriage
records the various averages of the
different vocations show that chauf-
feurs and cooks are attracted by do
mestics, while tailors, dressmakers and
| milliners incline toward still closer re-
lationship. Salvation Army men choose
a Salvation Army lassie, the sea cap
tain picks good housekeeper and
home body, while seamen generally
fall in love. when ashore, with wait
| resses who serve their meals. Mr.. Nc
Glennen believes that good looks and
| good clothes are not such an impor
tant factor as generally believed-it
is all matter of environment. The
telephone operator is a favorite with
the soldier, also the nurse who min
listers to him when wounded. Lunch.
room prOprietors more often marry
their cashiers, and so it goes on.
What puzzles Mr.. McGlennen, how
ever, is why a mariner chose a dent
lists assistant as life mate and how
street car conductor came to pick
out an actress for his wife. These are
exceptions to the general rule.

The vessels going to the United

Of the American desire to use them
for the transport of troops.
Those going to France and Eng
land Immediately are cargo vessels
in neutral ports in South and Central
America and the Dutch East Indies.
They will be permitted to leave with
cargoes for Germany with German
crews, but under allied flags. When
ships put out from German ports to
be handed over they will be manned
by Germans but on arrival in Allied
ports the crews will be replaced by
Allies crews and the Germans re.

Food in England Ready to Ship.
There is available in England for

approximately 10000 tons of pork
products, 5000 tons of beans, 5000
tons of rice and $4,000 tons of cereals
The United States has in Rotterdam
and on the way there approximately
70, 900 tons of breadstuffs.
A summary of the agreement shows
that payment by Germany will be
made by freight hire accruing to the
Germans for the use of the shipping
and part from credits that Germany
may continue to establish and main
tain in neutral countries; part from
German-owned foreign securities and
part by the use of German gold.
