the beautiful little actress for she was
as popular in Columbus as she was
in all the other cities of America.
Miss Thomas died in September in
a Paris hotel from the effects of
deadly poison which she took by mis-
take, it is said. Her husband, Jack
Pickford, was with her at the time
and in Paris there We're q number of
other American motion picture actors

jackson, Miss, Nov 23.-Assistant
Attorney General Lotterhoss, acting
for the attorney generals office, rem
dered an opinion Of great general i'm
portance and political significance,
The opinion is in response to scores
of inquiries from tax assessors and
collectors all over the state asking the
tax commission if women can be as
sessed for poll taxes under the statute
of 1920, regardless of the fact that
the constitutional provision only APP
plies to males. Another question in
the matter was as to whether the de-
feat offthe poll tax amendment in the
recent election operated 10 rcpeal the
statute of 1920.
The encouragement holds that
women are subject to poll tax.

the glowing sentences. Were he to ac-
cept the Lodge reservations, he would
become member Of the League of Ma
tions in which all the other nations but
the United States would be bound to
one another by the four great peace
giving provisions Of the league. to wit !:
III The limitation of armament, (2)
The mutual guaranty of Article X. CD
The enforcement of submission to judi =
cial settlement Of disputes by universal
boycott, and az Open diplomacy. The
reservations would relieve the United
states from the guaranty Of Article X,
but from none OF the other obligations.
Forty Democratic senators agreed to
either OF two forms of reservations as
to Article y, releasing the affirmative
obligation Of the United States under
Article, y and leaving the whole mat :
ter under the article to the discretion of
Congress. The same forty senator's
agreed to the Lodge reservations to the
Monroe Doctrine, except that they
wished to say the same thing only twice
instead Of saying il three times as the
Republicans had said it. Mr.. Wilson
repudiates the action of all the Demo :
cratic senators as we'll as that of the
Republicans. Mr.. Wilson's words, in
terpreted in the light of the facts, show
that unless he can secure the agree
ment of the Senate to Article X, of
which he is the author, without any
qualification Of It, he is willing to de-
stroy the whole league.
The real friends of the league who
have no political bias or personal pride
of authorship are anxious that the
league with the Lodge reservations shall
be ratified as the only way in, which
ratification can come. They believe that
it is most valuable for the world even
without Article X, and the other ma :
tions agree with them. They believe
that with the power of amendment pro =
vided in it,, its defects, as experience
shall show them, can be remedied.
Mr.. Wilson's objection is that the
United States must be bound. to use
force, to maintain the terri
torial integrity and political independ- :
ence Of all the members of the league.
