RAG, SAYS ROBERTS
Governor at Jackson Says No
Choice Between Two Exists
for Americans.

JACKSON, Tenn, Nov. Is. (spL)-
Before an audience composed OF dele
gates from most Of the West Tennessee
counties and others Interested In law
ana order, in the state, which crowded
the circuit court, Gov. Roberts vent on
record Wednesday afternoon as being
IN favor Of the most rigid law enforee-
ment and the formation of law and or
der leagues dow to townships and dis
audience was composed Of women from
jackson and the adjoining counties. The
better element u the negroes was also
represented.
DR.. John L. Weber called the meet
Ing to order and outlined briefly the
principles OF the Law and Order league.
Dr. webster admitted hat some mis-
takes had been made, and stated that
the people were living in a critical
state which demanded such a body as
the Law and Order league. He then
introduced Gov. Roberts.
Coy. Roberts reviewed briefly many
events in the past few months which
challenged the American people to
maintain order. He declared that he
had never felt the need of the wisdom
n the prudent counsel Of the people
more than at the present time.
The challenge has come" the gov
ernor declared, TO every American citi-
zen to declare bis allegiance to the
Stars and Stripes or to the red flag of
anarchy"
The governor reviewed with pride the
achievements of the American forces on
the battlefields of Europe and spoke at
length of the spirit which was behind
their heroism In comparison with the
godlessness of the Hun. The governor
said;
THE German teaching that the prin-
clples Of Jesus Christ has no place in
government is beginning to take root In
our soil, and what W. need at this time
Is a government strong enough to in
sure that every citizen, though he be
the blacklist negro, gets a fair trial in a
court Of justice"
The governor also spoke in favor Of a
state police, the efficiency Of which he
believed In. The attitude of the Knox
Vile rioters against the interest and
the reputation OF the state were de-
nounced as one Of the conditions which
made the law and order move a neces-
sity this time.
j. G. Wilson, OF Jackson, Miss, OF the
Mississippi league. who had come to
Jackson to get ideas, in a brief address
said that such a league was not as
urgent in his state, because Mississippis
population was composed of whites and
blacks, both loyal, and very few Aliens,
Col. X. S. Fletcher devoted a half hour
to the profiteers, d~enouncing them as
ing the people not to buy from those
who sold at exorbltant prices.
No formal organization took place, but
II is felt that much good will result from
the meeting. DR.. Weber said Wed
nesday night organizations in this and
surrounding counties would be perfected
at an early date.

Two discoveries have added greatly
to human welfare.

grains, 1cithom cane sugar.
This product HoRLicK named
Matted Milk. (Name since copied

Young Truant Hides
In Attic Four DAYS
Parental School Runaway Is
Too Weak to Stand When
Found in Own Home

Steve Soroka, thirteen years old, has
a grudge against the Newark public
schools-against any scnool, for that
matter, which remains in session after
baseball and swimming weather has
arrived. Steve also is a believer in
direct action. If the schools would
not close there was nothing to do but
remain away from them.
Steve's parents were of a contrary
opinion and sent him to the Parental
Home, at Verona, N. j., where the dis
cipline is strict and the fences high.
Yesterday morning, two weeks after
the boys departure, strange noises
were heard in the attic of the Soroka
home. Soroka, ST., decided that there
was a burglar in the house, so he
notified the police.
Two bluecoats made their way
cautiously up the attic stairs and saw
q shadowy form huddled in a corner.
They dragged the figure into the light
and found that it was very small
and very dirty. Did the Sorokas know
who it was? They did not. Soap and
water were called for and Steve was
revealed.
The boy was 20 weak he could barely
speak. de declared that he had been
IN the attic four days without food or
drink, but had been afraid to notify
his parents Of his whereabouts.
After bath and a good meal Steve
started back to Verona in charge Of Q

Pan-American Congress
OF Suffragists Proposed

A Pan-American congress Of women
suffragists is proposed by Alicia
Mofean, president of the National
Women's Union of Argentina, in a
communication received here by Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Gait, president of the
International Woman Suffrage Associa-
tion. The proposed congress would be
held in Buenos Ayres in July, 1921.
at is proposed" the South American
leader wrote, "that we concentrate our
energies on general movement
throughout the Americas in behalf of
our ideals, being confident that the CO.
operation of the delegates of the vari-
Gus countries will encourage the dis
cussion of the different problems raised
relating to the position of women, and
will be the means of bringing forward
suggestions for the ultimate solution
of such difficulties.
"We hope that our sisters in the
United States of America will give US
their active support; the worldwide
prestige won by the part they have
played in this movement and the re-
suit attained makes them stand out as
an example among the democratic in
stitutions, and will be a sure sign OF
ultimate success of our work"
Behind this congress, adds Signora
Morean, looms larger hope of Pan
American organization (Which would
stimulate mutual help among all fem
mist associations"
Mrs. Gait has not yet acted on the
suggestion, but she announced yester-
day that she soon would do so.
