Not a single dissenting voice has

posal of the State Of New YORK;
through it's representatives in Senate

The Primary Election Law.

In certain sections OF MISSISSIPPI
and by certain political Influences there
is an apparent attempt to create the
impression that the prl-
mary election law is a failure and
should be abolished. The move is
being urged by the old-time convention
manipulators, who find themselves
shorn of their power, and they now
attempt to deceive the people with a
false cry of failure of the primary.
The people in evry section OF Mlssls-
sippi should be on their guard and not
permit themselves to fall into the
hands of these conventionists. The
primary law, while not perfect, Is the
safeguard Of the people, and the can
didates who are afraid OF going be-
fore the people for their election
ought not to be elected. The only class
of people who find fault with the pri-
mary are the ones who cannot con-
vince majority Of the people that
they are worthy Of their confidence
and support in elections. Coast
Beacon.
The Coast Beacon is exactly right.
There is a faction in Mississippi that
does not want to trust the people.
The Jackson Daily News just few
days ago said: eve have never had
much respect for the primary election
law anyhow" Of course they have
not, for ever since the people Of Mis-
sissippi were emancipated from the
old convention system they have mani
tested the independence in choosing
their officers that has foored every
old conventionite that has popped out
for Office. Of course the primary
election law is not perfect, SO far as
we are able to Judge. We have never
come across anything perfest unless
it be the matchless Sermon ON the

DISTINGUISHED Visitors to Come.

AS soon as the Peace Treaty is
signed and ratified and real peace has
come, the United States will be visit
ed by scores Of high dignitarles from
all of the allied nations, embracing
statesmen, army leaders and naval
commanders. The mecca of one and
all will be the National Capital.
Probably the first to arrive will be
General Foch, who has long been
anxious to visit this country. Sir
Douglas Haig is also expected, and
|others too numerous too mention. Al
ready the United States Government,
through the State Department, is
making preparations and plans to
house and entertain its famous guests.
Large private residences in Washing
ton are to be rented by the Govern
ment as homes for the visitors dur
| ing their stay in the Capitol City, and
special officials of the State, War and
Navy Departments are being deslgnat-
ed to welcome the guests and to con-
duct them personally on the tour of
the country that is being planned
| for them. The Railroad Admimstra-
ton is being called upon to provide
special trains and to provide every
comfort and convenience for the visit
ors from the time they reach the
shores ~of the United States until they
embark for the return to their native
land.

letter is as follows:

leLtef Is as IOHOWS:
The worldwide reconstruction that
is following in the wake of the war
will necessarily affect the South in a
peculiar way. Nearly 100000 Ne
groes have been called into the mill
tary service of the country; many
thousands more have been drawn from
peaceful pursuits into industries born
of the war; and several hundred thou
sand have shifted from the South to
the industrial districts of the North.
The rehabilitation of the army and
the transition Of industry from a war
to a peace basis are creating many
problems which can be solved only by
the efforts of both races. The Ne
gro in adapting himself to the new
conditions, should have the wise sym
pathy and generous cooperation of
his white neighbors. 1t is t. the in
terest of these as well as the Negro
himself, that re-adjustmen should
proceed with the least possibe diff
Guilty and delay.
We believe that this REIMBURSEMENT
may be effectively aided by more
general appreciation of the Negroes
value as member of the community.
Lack of sympathy and understanding
between two groups of people frequen-
ly causes one group to regard the
shortcomings Of few individuals of
the other as characteristic of all that
group. This is a natural tendency,
but is neither rational or just, and it
has proved, we believe, one Of the
great obstacles to the development of
more satisfactory racial relations in
this country.
The Negroes contribution to the
welfare of the nation has never been
more clearly indicated than by his
services during the Great War. When
the call to arms was sounded his
country expected him to do his duty,
and he did not fail. Large numbers
| of black men on the fields of France
made the supreme sacrifice for the
cause of world democracy. In other
war services the Negroes did their full
share. Many thousands were en-
ployed in the building of ships, the
manufacture of munitions, the con-
struction of environments, and in the
production of the coal, iron, cotton and
foodstuffs without which victory would
have been impossible. The Negroes
purchases of Liberty Bonds and War
Savings Stamps and their contribu-
tions to the Red Cross, the United
War Work Fund, and other similar
agencies are in themselv a splendid
record of which the Negroes and their

TO START HOME
SHORTAGE MOVE

A movement for the solution of the
home shortage problem in Americas
was set on foot yesterday afternoon
at meeting of the commissioners
of the chamber of commerce and a
number of interested business men
of the city. The situation was dis
cussed at some length and the acute
need for homes here forcibly brought
out by Secretary Perkins and num-
erous others. The discussion devel-
oped that the solution probably lies
in the organization of home build
ing corporation of local capital which
shall either build number of homes
and sell them to responsible people
on easy terms or provide the money
which may be borrowed to assist in
home building. 1t appeared feasible
to organize such a concern, with a
capital of 100000 or more, and
Vice-President Eve, who presided in
the absence of President John Shelf
field, of the chamber. was authoriz-
ed to appoint committee which
should develop some plan of operation
and then attempt to get together in
such an organization, men with mon

COAD ADVISES
DOSING WEEVILS
MTRATHHYEAR

That one or two more applications
of calcium arsenate than would other
wise be needed in a season are advis-
able here this year because of the
migratory habits of the boil weevi,
and the fact that most of the fields
are not under poison treatment. is
the word received today by County
Agent G. O. Marshall from G. R. Coad
head of the government Delta lab
oratory at Ta1lulah, La. Mr.. Coad is
the man who has developed the cal
cium arsenate method of weevil con-
troll. In order that the farmers here
who are adopting the treatment, even
thought late, might have the best pos
sible information, Mr.. Marshall tel
egraphed Mr.. Coad as follows:
What effect will migration have
on poisoning weevils and how late
should cotton be poisoned?"
Mr. Coad's reply by telegraph fol-
lows:
"Weevil migration on face of late
cotton will probably necessitate one
or two extra applications this year,
as you will have to control neighbors'
weevils as we'll as your own. Poison
ing should be continued long enough
to make all crops which can be matur-
ed and also to protect the young bolls
until safe"
"Under this advice" said Mr.. Mar
shall, 81 would suggest applying the
poison every six days in good wealth
