The Irish Question.

The action Of the Senate on the
Irish question, following the recent
vote of the House of Representatives
would tend To prove that there is in
this country general feeling in ia
vor of haying the case of Ireland
presented at the peace conference,
for presumably, on a matter of 90
great importance. members of Con-
gress were careful to voice the views
Of the people back home. Fridays
vote in the Senate lifts the matter
out of the domestic arena. and places
it squarely on the international
plane. Senator Lodges clever JUS
tificatiOn of his vote shows that what
is sauce for the goose is also sauce
for the gander, and that, if England
is to share in administering the
Monroe doctrine. the United States
is fully warranted in jogging Brother
Johns memory az to the historical
basis of the Irish demand.
The present condition of Ireland
with dwindling population. indus
tries destroyed, law fiouted. and her
people on the ragged edge of rebel
lion kept down only by large army
of occupation-is altogether anom-
slOus and. To those who see into the
need of things. alarming. 1t surely
is not expecting too much of the
peace conference to ask it to clean
of the slate in this matter before
it brings its labors to a close.
The Senate vote is a solemn and
friendly warning America has al
ways sympathized with the Oppress-
ed. and never more conspicously
than during the last few momentous
months. 1t is inconceivable that
President Wilson and the other
members of the American delegation
at Paris will not heed the combined
appeal of the Senate and the House.
They certainly ought to use their
good offices to have the Irish ques-
ton presented to the peace confer
ence by the accredited representa-
tiyes of Ireland; and the peace con-
ference will render a service to man.

How HousefIies Carry Disease.

Government Entomologists who
have made Il close study of the
housefy and his habits pronounce
him a criminal of the worst type.
They tell of his practices. many
of which are deadly to mankind
and attribute many epidemics to his
work.
His body and especially his legs,
is covered thickly with bristlelike
hairs.
His favorite food is partly or
completely decayed materials over
which he crawls, becoming thickly
laden with germs.
Subsequent visits to human foods
results in their contamination.
This is one of his methods of SOW
ing death and disease but perhaps
more effective one results from the
fact that germs are found in greater
numbers and live longer in the ali
mentary canal.
These, so the same experts tell
us, are passed out not only in the
excrement of the fly but in tiny
droplet which are forced out of tn
stomach and which are known as
vomit spots.
When we realize that there is
nothing too filthy for flies to feed
upon, whether it be the excreta of
typhoid patients or the discharge
from those suffering from tubercu-
losis and that they only too often
come direct from such contact to
the home and table, it can be read
lily seen why their control is mat
ter of such direct interest to every
one.

Executive Committee.

Decides that time for Announce
ment of candidates has heen ex-
tended until ID days before primary
set for August 5.
notwithstanding the opinion of
the attorney general that the law of
1918, requiring all candidates for
office in party primary to he for
mally declared and announced on
or before the first Monday in May
prior to the holding of such prima-
ries," nullifies or a5rogates the older
law, the Democratic state executive
committee has gone on record for a
broader and more liberal construe-
tion of the statute of 1918, taken
together with the provision of the
code of 1906. Ii was decided that
the later statute is more of quail
flying than nullifying or abrogating
law; that the former is not to be
repealed by implication" or
it's provisions set aside through
exparte declaration, or opinion.
After somewhat animated dis
cussion of the whole subject, the
committee. by vote of II to 3.
adopted a resolution offered by
Judge Robert Powell from the
Eighth district:
Resolved. That Section 3715 of
the code of 1906 has not been
amended or repealed, and is still in
force"
Being literally construed. this
means that the party managers do
not hesitate to declare against the
policy of changing statutes by i'm
plication. especially where strictly
political and party procedure is con-
cerned, 1t means also an extension
of the time for announcements for
Office 10 the statutory period of Is
days prior to the first primary. re-
eardless of the absentee soldier.

home or overseas.
This means also that these candi-
dates for state office and state dis
trict offices who have gone along
under the impression that they are
immune from opposition and have
been since the first Monday in May
are not clear of the woods. and will
not be until ID days prior to the
first primary date. which is fixed for
Tuesday, August 3.
An abOrtive effort was made to
put through a resolution sent from
Frentiss county to arrange the date
for the first primary for the first day
of August. which would be Friday.
instead of Tuesday the 5th. 1t was
pointed out that the Tuesday date
would seriously clash with the cir
cult court session at Bonneville,
which convenes Monday. August 4.
The majority opinion was opposed
to this. and substitute. fixing the
date at Tuesday. August 5. was
eventually adopted. the second or
runoff to follow on Tuesday.

and such has been the case for sew
eral days lately. For about seventy
five yards there was absolutely no
gravel where it was needed most.
| have seen numbers Of miles OF
roads constructed under government
supervision and the first thing they
do is to make perfect drainage and
have a high road bed. Then, and not
until then, do they place the ggravel
and roll it well with steam roller.
Now comes the part that should
deeply interest all Of the taxpayers
of this parish. It is said that the
contractor is losing $37, 200 on the
job and wants the police jury to re-
imburse him for that amount, or at
least half the amount if he can get
it. He gives as the reason for this
deficit, wartime prices. No doubt
this is true; but when a man makes
"a contract and priceeseo down ~,
stead of up, does he offer fsssFonu
his surplus gains?
The people of this parish voted g
bond issue for model road that
would pass all inspection and they
did not get it. Why throw good
money after bad? Let every one re-
member that these bonds run for
twenty years or more. Will your
road last that long? You voted a
maintenance fund; keep your eye on
that also. See that it is used for the
upkeep of the road and nothing else

Loss Of Appetite.

AS a general rule there is nothing
serious about a loss of appetite, and
If you skip a meal or only eat two
meals a day for a few days you will
soon have relish for your meals
when meal time comes. Bear in mind
that at least five hours should always
elapse between meals so as to give
the food ample time to digest and the
stomach a period of rest before Sc
cond meal is taken. Then if you eat
no more than you crave and take a
reasonable amount of outdoor exer-
else every day you will not need to
worry about your appetite. When the
loss Of appetite is caused by consti-
patton as is often the case, that
should be corrected at once. A dose
Of Chamberlain's Tablets will do it.
