 The morning of July l, the day on which the United States went dry and the greatest of American deserts was formed, Governor Bilbo stated, jocular- ly: T am so happy that l have mind to issue a proclamation setting apart this day as a state holiday" The gov ernor has always been a prohibitionist, and yet not a teetotaller, but knows he can get along just as well without whisky or other liquors as he can with it He has seen Mississippi prosper as never before since saloons were abol- ished and the liquor traffic stopped; he has seen Jackson treble in population and largely increase in wealth and com rnercial importance while semi-sky scrapers took the place of the miserable novels once occupied by grogeries-and, of course, he felt happy that all other towns in the United States now have chance to enjoy similar growth and prosperity and the people generally be- come happy and oontented.

WOMEN DEMAND
WARS SHALL END
Peace League Means More to
Them Than 1t Can Mean
to Men.
DR.. SHAW'S STIRRING PLEA.
(5y the Late DR.. Anna Howard shaw.)

(By the Late DR.. Anna Howard shaw.)
Seven million one hundred thousand
men who had laid down their lives in
the great war Think Of it, Seven
million, one hundred thousand young
men had died on the field of battle!
What does that mean to the women
OF the world? It means that seven
million one hundred thousand women
walked day by day with their faces
toward an open grave that they might
give life to a son. 1t means that
seven million one hundred thousand
little children lay in the arms of a
mother whose love had made them
face even the terrorS of death that
they might become the mothers of
men.
1t means that year after year these
women had put up their lives into the
lives Of their sons until they had rear
ed them to be men. For what? In
the hope that these sons Of theirs could
give to the world the things for which
women dream, the. things for which
women hope and pray and long. These
were the things that the women had
in their hearts when they gave birth
to their sons.
But who can estimate the value of
seven million one hundred thousand
dead sons Of the women of the world
Who can estimate the price which the
women have paid for this war; what
it has cost them, not only in the death
Of their sons, because that is a phase
Of our war to which we look.
The Courage of Women.
We near our orators tell us Of the
courage of our men. How they went
across the sea. Very few of them re-
member to tell us of the courage OF
our women, who also went across the
sea; of the women who died nursing
the sick and wounded; the women
who died in the hospitals, where the
terrible bombs came and drove them
almost to madness. They tell us
nothing of the forty thousand English
women who went to work back Of the
trenches in France.
They tell us nothing of the thou
sands upon thousands upon thousands
of W0meA who not only toIed anG
worked and shaved in order that the
war might be successful, but we dc
not hear Of the thousands of women
not alone in Armenia, not alone IL
! Montenegro, not alone in Serbia, but

pentfne, which instantly ignited. II

badly burned and necessitated the
services Of a. physician.

department, which responded in quick
time, as usual. Chief Stanton vas the

mediately turned back TO head off the

not required, the chief and his assist
ants returned to the Central station
He had ordered out the West Side
