WASHINGTON, July 26.-something
of haze seems to have settled over
the league of nations controversy, but
before many days the country will see
clearly the Issues between the con-
tending factions here. For on both
sides, action will have to be taken to
show the lines OF cleavage
The outsider gets the impression that
it is merely a matter of agreeing on
phraseology Really the issue is deep
er than that. 1t Is matter of how
much can be inserted in the treaty or
stricken from it which win not caase
the whole document to be thrown itno
conference again.
England has ratified the pact as it
stands. France intends to do the same
before another 10 days is passed. Italy
will follow suit. Germany has rati-
fled.
America alone OF the great powers is
engaged in q controversy over changes.
Taft Letters Confidential.
Former President Taft has laid the
trouble at the door of party politics.
and has offered suggestions whereby
thet Republican party might be freed
from the burden" Of defeating the
treaty.
Mr.. Tafts letters haven't helped mat
ters much. They have displeased the
Democrats and friends of the league
and they are exuitingly flourished by
opponents of the league of nations as
sign of victory for their side.
1t was plainly not intended by Mr..
Taft that his letters should become
public at this time, ii at all. Although
addressed to Will Hays, chairman of
the Republican national committee, the
letters were obviously confidential. A
certain senator who must be name.
less for the present. gave copy OF
both the Taft letters to the Associated
Press.
But the Taft incident demonstrates
more clearly than anything which has
preceded that. from a strategic point
OF view, the Republicans are in weak
er position than the Democrats. The
Republicans are making speeches
against the treatv and the attack
comes from all directions. u,
No concrete resolution setting forth
she Republican viewpoint has been
drafted. Senator Knox presented one
resolution to separate the league from
the peace treaty That Is still pend-
ines but as good as dead. Senator Koot

OUR BIG DAY.

Gay lbt Oul llVtlc Vo"h ""Ch
nearly 1000 people we're gather
ed to do honor to the returned
soldier boys. Early in the morn
ing the crowd began to assemble
in every way imaginable.
About 1890 o'clock the band
from Bogalusa, which had been
employed to furnish music for
the occasion, began to play. The
soldier boys began to assemble
and formed in line under the
shade of the oaks near Mr.. F. &.
Miller's store, and soon their
was about 100 soldiers and many
men in line when they took up
the march with several old Con.
federate soldiers ahead with Hon.
S. L. Afford in the lead bearing
the flag, Colonel Stubbs took
charge of the boys and ordered a
forward march, when the band
played a grand march. The line
through the town to the school
house followed by a large crowd.
When they reached the school
house they broke rank and enter.
led the auditorium where the
stage had been beautifully decor
ated. The kaki boys we're given
the front seats and the old Con-
federate Veterans seated on the
rostrum. The auditorium, which
had just been filled with splendid
opera seats, was quickly filled to
it's full capacity. A short and
very appropriate address was
made by Hon. O. E. Brock, mas
ter of ceremonies, when Colonel
Stubbs was introduced. When
the Colonel rose the crowd cheer
ed loud and long. His speech was
interesting from start to finish
and those who could get in the
house listened with rapt atten.
tion.
Soon afterwards a bountifu
dinner was spread on a 600-foo'
table that had been previously
built in the oak grove just west
of the campus. Not only was the
dinner a bountiful one but the
good women of the country die
! credit to the long line of ances
ters in the culinary art which
had been one of note. Every
body was invited to help them
selves until filled and there was
plenty left. In a short while the
crowd reassembled and listened
to speeches by DR.. G. H. Morris
of Kentwood and Judge P. B.
Carter of Franklinton. After a
!; few hours OF social mingiing and
chat with friends while the band
played; then everybody left only
. to reassemble again at eight
O'Clock to witness the concert
given by different grades. This
like every thing else at Mt. Her
mon was success. One of the
features for which we have
| cause to- be both proud ano
! thankful, was the splendid order
kept during the entire time.
Friday night a large crowd re-
assembled at the school house t'
witness the graduating exercises
of the young ladies' who hat
completed the full course in th'
high school and receive their di
plomas. Welcome address, Mis-
