Senator Watson Demands Japan With

fes Peace Treaty.

Washington.-The League of Ma
tions and the Shantung settlement both
came in for more bitter criticism in
the Senate's consideration of the
treaty with Germany.
The committees clash over the
league grew out of the examination OF
Norman Davis, a financial adviser to
the Versailles Peace Conference, and
centered in heated discussion of the
attitude of President Wilson toward
supplying the committee with ade
quate information.
Senator Watson in his Senate
speech declared the treaty provision
giving Japan control in Shantung
Province was "as monstrous propo
sition as has ever been proposed te
civilization" and said he could not
vote for ratification II the Shantuna
section remained unamended and il
Japan gave no more definite promise
of returning the province to China.
Senator Lodge said he understood
that within two hours of the signing
Of the treaty at Versailles the Chi
nese delegates had offered to sign, il
assured they would have the right tC
bring their Shantung case before the
league later, but that "even that was
denied them"

Among the able and experienced
men nominated for the Legislature
in the primary last week was Hon. S.
Joe Owen, of Union County. He is
editor of the New Albany Gazette has
served for several terms in both the
Senate and House, and is one of the
best informed and broad-minded men

nett Connor of Seminary, vii also be
candidates.
Without disparaging the merits of
the other candidates, we will say this
for Joe Owen. He is an able parlia-
mentarian, we'll versed in statecraft,
and a cleaner, truer, better man never
lived. He would make an able, con-
scientious and impartial Speaker, and
we hope to see him elected to that of

WHO?
FOR RAILROAD COMMISSIONER
TO the Voters Of North Mississippi:

70 the Voters Of North Mississippi:
On August 9th, you refused by
large majorty vote TO give my op-
ponent an endorsement for a third
term for which he mad asked. He
now hopes to have you change your
mind between the primaries and will
appeal to you through a card OF
promises, but let me remind you
that these same promises were made
eight years ago and that they are
worth no more today than they were
then.
My opponent in many Counties
has drawn the nickname of "Doo
Nuthin" Wilson-just stop and think
of the work he has done Gf any
during the past eight years in your
town or your county and see if this
entities him to your support for a
third term as railroad commissioner.
And while I realize that your COM
missioner's work has fallen many
years behind and that the office there
fore will be very hard to fill, still l
am used to handling big problems and
if elected, you can count on me TO
bring the work up to date in the
shortest time.
Anxious to serve you and knowing
that l can serve you well, thank
you sincerely for the splendid vote
you gave me in the first primary and
| want you to feel that your active
| support in my interest will mean
the election of a real, live Railroad
| Commissioner.
Respectfully yours,
! CLAUDE r. HORNE.

The Old Town of Oxford Has Struck
the Turning Place At Last, After
A Lull of Yeara

Oxford is at last on real, sub
stantial boom.
The people are waking up to the
trend of the times.
After many years of sleep and
slumber the cover apathy is being
flung in every direction and spirit
cf civic pride and activity is in
evidence on every hand. Buildings
are being remodeled and painted, and
life is being injected in all lines OF
business. The hammer and saws
can be heard in every direction from
early morning to late in the even
ing, and the carpenters and workmen
of the town are kept busy.
While it is hard for us to get a
complete list of the many improve
ments which are being made, the fol-
lowing list is sufficient to justify
what we have said.
H. A. Moore has just completed
a new gallery to his residence, bunga-
low type, costing $3.50.
Mrs. Slough has just let contract
for remodeling and repainting her
house. which will cost $4,000.
The Presbyterian Church has just
underwent general repairing at a
cost of $4,000. The edifice is now
one of the most handsome structures
of the kind in the city.
H. T. Price has let the contract for
remodeling his home on North street,
where Mr.. John Logan lives. The
roof will be reframed and the house
changed into bungalo type, the
cost of which will be $1,5OO.
DR.. Eugene Bramlett is having an
addition put to his hospital, which
will cost, when completed, $4,000. 1t
will be one of the most roomy and
up-to-date hospitals in the State
when completed.
Bramlett & Son are having the
interior OF their drug store remodei-
ed and the prescription department.
set back. This will make the drug
department much larger. Inc COS.
OF the changes will be in the nelgh-
borhood Of $1,000.
The Avent brothers have just re-
painted the Avent home, cleared
much of the shrubbery out OF the
front yard and removed the barn at
the rear of the building, which adds
much to the attractiveness OF the
place.
Mr.. Guy Cook, who recently puf-
chased the Harris place on East
Street, has just completed the re-
pair work on his house. He also
graded the front yard down to a
level of the sidewalk, and made 9TH
er improvements about the place.
The Eagle will be glad to record
any changes or improvements made,
if YOU will only report them 70 the
editor.

the enthusiasm which it created will be
given tonight by Captain H. 2. Sheldon,

evening in the Auditorium in the inter
est of the Victory Liberty loan.
Captain Sheldon's talk will be the

be an excellent opportunity to hear at
first hand some of the wonderful actiyi-
ties of the men who helped to beat the
Hun. The fact that he was captain of
one of the companies in which two
Brattleboro boys served on the St
Mihiel salient should in itself attract

musical director of the schools, and
Frederic c. Adams viii render solos.
