Not Slaves to Precedent,

Were one to analyze the careers OF
200 or 300 of our leading men OF
finance and Industry it would probably
develop that not half of them contin.
ued in the line of business in which
they started, but struck boldly out in
the direction where they saw the big.
gest opportunities and where their
inclination lay.
One of the earliest and most notable
instances of this was Commodore Van
derbilt, who was so old before he
turned to railroading that his family
and his advisers importuned him to
let we'll enough alone and not to en-
ter an entirely new field at his time
of life.
This readiness of brainy giants to
take up new things and to throw their
whole selves into them is really one
of the principal reasons why the
United States has led the world in so
many lines of endeavOr. Wealthy
Europeans, as a rule, avoid the new,
avoid untried paths; they are inclined
to worship precedent.

Southerners In Congress
Stirred by Colored Propagan-
da for Ballot and Self De-
termination.

Washington, July 3l-Litcrature
pouring on mem bers of Congress proves
the existence of well organized move
ment among negroes Of the south to
carry out their right to vote and obtain
the application of the theory of selt.de-
termination to themselves.
The movement is creating consider
able uneasiness- among southern SEN
ators and representatives, who realize
that participation in the war by negroes
and the adoption of the suffrage amend.
ment make 1t more difficult than before
to deny the ballot to that element of
the population.
furthermore, the 1920 census is COM
ing with Its consequent reaportionment,
and 1t Is realized that the south may
have to show the north why its rep.
resentation should be based on voting
strength rather than the population, q
system that makes one vote in the south
worth two in the north, so far as repre-
sentation in congress is concerned.
Negro propaganda is being worked
through various church organizations
and their newspapers are giving it wide
publicity. The claim of the negroes
Is that since the principle of self-determ-
inatlon has been adopted as the funda-
mental Of the peace treaty, they can see
no reason why it should not apply in
Alabama as we'll as in Czecho-Slovakia
They say they bore their share in the
fighting and should not be denied
participation In affairs as result.
In addition to the many letters they
are now sending to members of congress,
especially to those from the north, thev
will, 1t is Understood, petition the pres
ident for interference In their behalf
in support of the theory Of self.determ-
ination which he advocated at Versatile.
The situation is regarded as extreme
ly embarrassing to southern members
of tteongress who have been compelled to
accept woman suffrage which they
feared in its possible results on the
ballot situation In the south, and are
now being urged by the administration
to support peace treaty which the ne
groes are using as their argument for
the right to vote.

Large Crowd Hears
Vardaman.

Saturday was gala day for Sturgls.
crowd estimated at between two and
three thousand people was present to
hear Senator Jas. X. Vardaman discuss
Important subjects pertaining to the past
and future. Senator Vardaman held
the undivided attention OF the large
crowd for two hours and forty-five
minutes, was frequently applauded and
at the conclusion large majority of
those present went forward to shake
hands once again with the man who
had fought for their rights and privi-
leges. He flayed the heartless prof.
teers, who with the American flag In
one hand, yelling patriotism, aud the
other hand In the public treasury, have
robbed the American people of millions
of dollars. He also paid his respect to
those who during the campaign last
year went about the state mIsrepresent-
ing his record. He came out into the
open and made Ii plain that he was In
favor of woman suffrage and wound up
by paying beautiful tribute to women.
1t was plain to see that the crowd was
with the speaker from the very begin
ming, and that he opened the eyes of
many and made new friends was evident
from expressions heard. The day passed
OF pleasantly with no signs of intoxi-
cation or disorder of any kind. His
great speech will be long remembered
by those present.

BERLIN, Jan. 4.-German naval

was this fact that caused the break
in the morale of the navy, Captain
Persius, German naval expert, de-
clares:
"A special source of discomfort lay
in the circumstances that great guam
titles Of provisions which were in
tended for the crews, were constantly
removed from the ships by order of
the superior officers and clandestine-
ly conveyd to their own families, 4"
he writes. In one case an admiral,
a rich man without children, but en-
ploying a large staff Of servants,
made considerable deductions from
his monthly pay to exchange the
for food, which he sold fer q
considerable profit to sundr3 persons
in his native town.
