9 ENTANGLlNG ALLIANCES
2 WITH FOREIGN NATIONS. Z
Observation-Disclosures

To The News Seimitar:
! think that President Abraham Lin
coin advised our American people to
decide for themselves, and not allow
our Uniter States senators to decide,
upon the ratification Of the league Of
nations treaty that President Wilson
has negotiated, when he wrote: THE
people themselves, and not their ser
wants can safely reverse their own de-
nberate decisions" For one of the de-
liberate decisions Of our American peo-
pie throughout the past, has been that
the United States ought not to enter
into entangllng alliances with foreign
nations. And the league of nations that
President Wilson has negotiated would
make the United States enter into en-
tangling alliances with some nations in
every part Of the world for the accom-
plishment Of great many things.
/ think that the United States ought
to make an agreement with the other
nations for the arbitration of interna-
tional disputes and for a reduction Of
ornaments, and that such an agree
ment would have great power to prevent
wars.
But do not think that the United
States ought to enter into entangling
alliances with other nations In order to
try to secure peace or any other good
thing. MRS. JAMES BENNETT.

Tor girls, and, anyway, does not fit their
needs and never did. | asked Prof. Wal
ter Dell Scott, who lectured here recent
ly, why men who invented school did
not go on and design one suitable for
girls and he guessed the men did not
think the girls worth the trouble then
Now the psychologists think girls worth
any amount of trouble. To the question,
hoary and unanswered, (which came
first, the hen or the egg?' they would
judge, answer emphatically the hem"
In every girl they see an artist with
"ldealism minus realism is futile. Real
ism minus idealism Is fatal"
Literally translated, this means that
mans best theories will never work I'M
til women help with art; and that
woman has never been taught properly
to think land is more clever at doing
anyway, and left to herself she would
run the world completely to smash.
We all share temporary morale with
animals, We have banked on this too
much Mankind was intended to attain
permanent morale based on thinking
To fail to meet high type of climber
and help the climb is the cruelst kind
of neglect. A handsome apology to

ticle by Prof. L. A. Ross, one of our
leading U. S. A. thinkers, in the May,
1918, number of the Journal Of Sociology.

ance."
1t is a good thing that apology. as
well as tyranny, came by man to
woman.
Woman is different now. She will
not put up with the second place or
none in matters of evolution. She will
not always endure the yearly human
sacrifice of the debutante to trade ad-
vertisement Decked with flowers, she
goes to her fate, the poor child, She is
like cocoonless caterpillar with tinsel
wings strapped on.
Woman Is not going to stand, If she is
wise, for weak dilution Of the already
imperfect boys school training for her
girl. II there must be great changes
in departing from our present German
Austrian system, why not begin with
girls? -v

WOMEN WANT TO KNOW
CONCERNING SUFFRAGE

JACKSON, Miss, Dec. 90 (Spl)--
Frank Robertson, attorney general elect,
who goes into office In January, has
been requested by the suffrage organi-
zation in Mississippi to prepare an in
formal opinion as to what legislation,
If any. will be needed to make the wom-
an suffrage amendment effective in
this state In the event of it's ratifca-
ton by the legislature.
Mr., Robertson Is giving the matter
thorough study and will no doubt eX-
press his view early in January, before
the legislative session.
The attorney general elect believes,
he said, that the mere adoption of the
suffrage amendment does not auto
matically give the women the right to
vote in Mississippi, any more than the
fourteenth or fifteenth amendments
gave all the negroes the right to vote,
However, It paves the way for them to
qualify for suffrage, and the matter of
qualification is one for further consd-
Grafton.
Some of the suffrage leaders who
have consulted attorneys are of the
opinion that all necessary restrictions
and qualifications can be imposed by
statute, and that an amendment to the
state constitution will not be necessary.
