We ever squabble with our cooks,
Nor anger these men at all,
For when the old pack has nearly
broken your back
There's joy in the old mess call.
We have won fame, l have said before.
We will soldier until we are free,
And store our troubles away with the
old mess kit
And the best of citizens be.
With nc doubt a dream every now and
then,
For there are dangers on every
hand,
But we will never forget, while we
live, you bet,
The mess line in no mans land.

JOHN E. DOWNER.

The messenger of death called John
r. Downer, well known business
man OF Macon, October IL, 1918. He
was quiet and genial in manner, and
had drawn to him a host of friends
since his residence here. Nothing
pleased him more than intimate asso-
ciation with friends, and constantly
enlarging his circle. He had likewise
a sympathetic turn of nature and no
appeal for charity or assistance went
by unheeded.
He was born in Cooksville, April
21, 1887, where most of his boyhood
days were spent. He united with the
Methodist Episcopal Church when a
mere boy and was always loyal
member to same, ever ready to help
advance the various activities of his
church.
On August Is, 1909, he was hap
PLY married to Miss Marguerite
Hines, of Brooksville. For several
years then he was engaged in the
mercantile business in Cochran, Ala,
coming from there to Macon Novem-
Der, 1912, where he had since been a
most valuable employe of Mr.. j. H.
Williams. The very high esteem in
which he was held by Mr.. Williams
was proven by his closing his busi-
ness in order to devote his entire time
and attention to nursing Mr.. Downer.
His devoted wife was i'll with infu-
enza in Columbus, having gone there
on visit to relatives. Mr.. Downer
went up to see her and next day after
returning was seized with the same
malady. He was i'll only short week,
pneumonia developing in few days.
Everything that medical science and
skillful nursing could do was done for
him, but to no avail-his summons to
"come up higher was to be answered
| then.
Mrs. Downer was unable to come
home until the day before his death
and his efforts to bear up bravely for
her sake only emphasized his devo-
ton to her. That he was stricken in
J the prime of life and when as a man
/ of strong physique, he apparently had
many wears before him, came as a
distinct shock to all. His father and
mother, Mr.. and Mrs. J. c. Downer,
of Aliceville, and brothers, Geo. and
w. c., were all with him in his last
hours.
We commend his young and loving
wife. with the other members OF his
family, to the All Wise Father who
Edoeth all things for the best.
The funeral services were conduct
ed by his beloved pastor, Rev. T.
Nash Broyles, and his remains ten,
derly laid to rest in the Soule Chapei
Cemetery the following afternoon.
A FRIEND.

THE NEXT GOVERNOR.

So far as can be known at present
Oscar Johnston and Lee NJ. Russell
will run-off for the governorship in
the second primary three weeks off.
This is at it should be. These two
men represent things and issues, not
mere personalities. They stand for
very different traditions, policies,
measures and means.
Johnston stands with all men who
know him as a clean, upright, above
board fighter, man with rare rec
ord of achievement behind him. He
can accomplish things. He has served
in legislatures where he was of the
majority; he has served where he was
one of the very small minority. In
b 9th he was efficient; in both lead
er; in both trusted by both factions,
hard fighter as he was when political
matters came up. Nobody has ever
yet accused Oscar Johnston of unfair
ness, of untruth, of deceit or double
dealing. Those who know him, even
those who hate him, trust him for his
courage and honor, and admire him,
even if reluctantly, for his ability and
strength.
Mississippi needs such man as
Oscar Johnston in the governors
chair. The welfare of the State, the
honor and good name of the State call
for him. Not only we, but our chill
dren in after years, will profit by his
election.

MR.. ROD TRIPLETT CRITICALLY
ILL.

We regret to learn from Mr. George
Russell, at Mashulaville that Mr.. Rod
Triplett was critically i'll and was not
expected to live through the day. Mr..
Triplett is one Of the oldest and most
beloved citizens of that section, an old
Confederate veteran, who will leave
behind him a record Of usefulness and
good citizenship generally. He has
Saised large family, who have heeis
good aild useful citizens. He was
probably the Beacon's oldest subscrib-
,er, having been on our subscription
list for more than sixty years.

FIRST OPEN BOLLS.

Mr.. S. K. Cunningham brought in
this morning from the Deupree place
the first open bolls--not one, but a
dozen--and he says he could have
brought them in two weeks ago. He
says they have about 80 acres Of early
King cotton that is full of open bolls.
He says he is about two weeks later
than usual, but it is our opinion he Il
two weeks ahead of anyone else. This
is the first time sight like this could
be seen ON the Deupree place in a
humber of years.

A week ago the question was being
asked, how high will cotton go? To-
day it is, how low will cotton fall :?
If other articles dropped in the pro-
portion of cotton in the last few days,
there would be no more complaint Of
the high cost of living. The causes
of the shrinkage alleged in the Times
Picayune market column are various
and some grotesque. They range all
the way from German treaty trade
regulations to Hester's announcement
of stock surplus of 100000 bales

Treaty With Germany
Is Not Yet Deceased
Friends of Measure Now Realize That 1t Would Have
Been Wiser to Talk Compromise SPe-
cal Session Has Been Failure
BY HUGH W. ROBERTS


with a presidential year about to dawn,
there VAS no hope of either contending
faction winning out by mere force of
numbers
In the beginning, the President ig
nored the senate. In the end, the senate
ignored the. President. There can be
but little question but that the resent
ment of the senate did much toward
preventing the ratification of the treaty.
If there be any who doubt, the follow
ing excerpt from a speech of Senator
Harding of Ohio on the last night of
the session will, prove Of interest
That leads me, if you please, to IN
dulge in a little reflection. The whole
trouble with the treaty, senators, Is lnat
it was negotiated upon a misunderstand-
ing on the part of the executive. No
one doubts for moment that the Pres
ident, in that disregard for the senate
which grew out Of war conditions, in
that little consideration for this body
which followed a state submergence, I'M
dertook to negotiate treaty, which was
his towering ambition, notwithstanding
he knew the opposition of a majority
and in defiance of the expressed wish or
the expressed opinion of a sufficient
number to defeat ratification, under the
executive impression that no modirica-
ton or alteration could be effected ex-
cept by a two-thirds majority vote OF
the senate"
If the President, en- route to Paris, had
J been accompanied by a committee of the
senate, or if the senate, considering the
treaty, had freely and in friendly fash
ion, dealt with the President, another
story might be written, it is admitted
by both contending factions of the SEN
ate. But as neither displayed inclina-
ton to compromise the fate of the doc
un1ent was made secure.
1t was an impossibility from the very
beginning

REPUBLICAN SESSION
HAS BEEN FAILURE

Washington, November 22-(Special)-
While in the eyes of the country at large
the extraordinary session OF Congress,
called by the President on urgent insist
ence of the republicans, who desired to
assert their new majority strength, and
incidentally take possession of patronage
to the value of several million dollars,
was sjsnally devoid of important legisla-
ton, Representative Mondell declares the
session to have been the most important,
from sthe standpoint of achievement, III
the recent history of the government
And Representative Fess, chairman of
the republican congressional campaign
committee, declares that the success OF
the majority was so well established that
the whole country is going republican
In that connection he referred to the
significant democratic slump in the Sew
enth Ala bama district
The Congress- in extraordinary session
enacted legislation returning the wire
communication lines to their owners. This
was enforced legislation because the
President declared that on certain date
he would restore wire properties with or
without legislation.
The Congress submitted woman suf-
frage. AS both parties are contending
for She female vote next year. that action
could ne described as political. The prohl-
bition enforcement legislation. despite the
veto of the President. could be classified
also rs political legislation, as the prohi-
bitionists claim that they will elect a
President next year.
/ Anti-hoardiny and ant-profiteering leg
islation was enacted under pressure. rhe
House had resolved to adjohrn when the
President ordered it into session again.
and demanded the legislation that it sub
sequently enacted.
The repeal of daylight saving was All
achievement regarding the merit Of which
there Is significant difference of opinion.
The farmers wanted the legislation, the
| manufacturers did not. The President We
toed it,
, Additional restrictions were cast around
imm grafton on account of anarchistic
outrages throughout the country. Thss,
| laws were enacted after the President
| had denied the House the right to ad-
journ il accordance with its wishes.
! Legislation making it lawful for cor
porations to combine for export trade
was legislation presented during the for
mer session which failed on account OF
the republican flibuster against armed
neutrality.
| The Congress also enacted several APP
preparation bills killed through that same
hlibuster. There was one other important
bill 'ioeralizing war risk insurance pro-
visions for the soldiers.
The republicans, however, failed to OBJ
tain even decent discussion of their
measures to give farms to soldiers and
otherwise to take care Of them by gratui-
ties and loans.
