pledges to the 81, 900 heroes whose
blood has crimsoned the peoples in
Flanders, Governor James NJ. Cox
told an audience of democratic women
here today.
"They will vote for the limitation
of ornaments, the arbitration of dis
putes, the publication of secret trea-

the elevation of labor conditions to
higher standards" the governor said.
'In word" he continued, "they will
vote for the league which will con-
vert Christian idealism into the sta
utes of sound craftsmanship. and
bring to the sons of men a peace that
shall cover the earth as the waters
cover the sea-"
Though Governor Cox came home
with the avowed purpose of taking a

he upset his schedule today by adj

here on the part women played in the
war and the part she is to play in the
politics of the future.

CENSUS OF MISS.
SHOWS BIG LOSS
State Loses 1882 People In Ten
Year PeriOd-Negro Exodus
Is Cause of
Decline.

| Washington, Oct. 2.-Mississippi j:
the second state to show decrease
in population in the 1920 census. Its
population of ,789,1S2, announced to-
day by the census bureau, is 1882, or
GA per cent, less than that of 10
years ago.
The 1920 population of Oklahoma
Wisconsin and South Dakota also
were announced today and each state
showed a substantial increase.
Vermont was the first state to show
a decrease, its 1920 population being
l per cent less than that of 10 years
ago.
Oklahoma had the greatest in
crease, it's population of 2,027,564 be-
ing $40, 400, or ga per cent greater
than that in 1910. This, however
was the smallest numerical and rel
ative increase shown by Oklahoma
since its organization as a territory
in 1890.
Wisconsin's population is 1851 $3.50,
an increase of 297,979, or 1873 per
cent, as compared with that of 1910
The state retains its present rank az
the 18th most populous state. Its
relative increase for the last 10 years
was the same as that during the pre-
vious decade.
South Dakota, with a population of
$685. $3.50, an increase of 51,951, or $50
per cent, falls into 37th place, having
been passed by North Dakota. The
state showed both it's lowest numer-
ical and relative increases since its
admission as state in 1889.
Oklahoma passed Mississippi in the
standing of the states, the latter
dropping several places as result of
the decrease in its population.

GOldsby Is Located
AT Canadian Capital
Will be Brought Back to the Peniten
tiary Within a Few
Days.

Unless plans go awry, or legal OBJ
stacles develop, r. T. Goldsby, thu
notorious Vicksburg criminal, will b.
again in the Mississippi penitentiary
within the next week.
Goldsby is in custody at Toronto
and Sergeant Lige Pridgen, of the
lpenitentiary, is now en- route to that
place, bearing extradition papers or
the Canadian authorities seeking his
return to this state.
The manner in which Goldsby was
located at Toronto has not been made
public, but it is stated that he foolish.
ly exchanged letters with a negress
at Vicksburg, after he had succeeded
in getting out of the United States
and the Vicksburg authorities, learn
ing of the matter, had very little
trouble in locating him.
The Governor, three weeks after
the escape of Goldsby, offered $500
reward for his capture and return
to the penitentiary.
News of Goldsby's capture has beer
sent to the authorities at Indianola
and it is probable that the trial OF
Hecor York, charged with accepting
a bride to aid in his escape, may be
deferred until the noted criminal is
returned to the state.

CAMPAIGN FUND COMMITTEE
EAPPOINTED FOR COLUMBUS

The drive for funds for the
Democratic campaign is taking
form rapidly.
During the past two weeks The
Dispatch threw its columns open
for funds and the response has
been fair. The people have not
rallied TO the cause as they
should.
If Democracy is to triumph in
the November election there must
be a more liberal response on
the part of the people so that
the campaign may be properly
and adequately financed.
Other communities have come
up with their full share, but Col
umbus and Lowndes county have
not yet, made the rise. Only a
few more days remain.

MORO A DANGEROUS FANATIC
eslieves Eternal Bliss to 30 His II
He Meets Death while Killing
Christlans.

The psychology of Mohammedanism
is incomprehensible to persons reared
in the atmosphere and teachings of
American Christianity. With us the
separation Of church and state Is as
much q matter of course as the air We
breathe. With us suicide Is immoral
and the killing Of an unbeliever is a
crime punishable with death. The Mo-
hammedan has no conception of ecclesi-
astical and state law. There is only
one law, the Koran; and while in fact
The priest and the ruler may be dif-
ferent persons, they are different only
In a functional way, like a Judge and
IN executive tn our government. The
spiritual ruler is also temporal ruler,
as was Mohammed In his day. The
killing Of Christians is virtue that
merits everlasting bliss in paradise.
The martyrs Of the early Christian
church burned with no more consum-
ing ardor than the humble, ignorant
hohammedan peasants who swear be-
fore the priest that they will go forth
and devote their lives to killing Chris
tians. Mohammedans who have sworn
to kill Christians are called In the
Philippines juramentados, from the
Spanish, meaning one who has sworn
or taken an oath. Up to decade ago
1t was no uncommon occurrence In
Jolo for q Moro fanatic to conceal his
bolo knife, or kris. in a basket OF
fruit until he had passed the guard
at the gate Of the walled town, then
draw his blade and cut right and left,
Filling man, woman or child, with
perfect impartiality, until bullet from
the guard stopped his advance. 1t was
this indomitable will to kill that gave
the Christian Filipino his mortal fear
Of the Moro in times past.-O. Garfield
Jones, in Asia.

PLACING CROWN ON PAG0DA
Solemn Ceremony at Mandalay That
Attracted Crowds Of the Oevout
Followers Of 1uddha.

A curious festival was held not long
ago in Mandalay, the chief town OF
Burma. A new pagoda dedicated to
the Buddhist religion was to be COM
pleted by the placing Of q huge crown
or thi upon its summit, more than 800
feet above the ground.
To witness the ceremony came Bud
dhists from Indo- China. from the
Himalayas, from Laos and Chan and
Siam. Warriors from Katschin, Sorcer"
ers from Mot and people from other
places made q medley OF languages
like that at Babel.
On q street corner would be seen
barber pulling q customers tooth. On
another corner a Aohammedan bird
dealer sold Gagged paroQuets to Bud
dhists who piousiy set them tree. AT
very modern booths one could buy Ice
cream, soda or tea. Mandalay was d
gorgeous spectacle and the new pagoda
was the center Of It.
Every pagoda has at its summit a
thi. or cap, the placing Of which IL Of
ten q herculean task. The one now
to be raised weighed several hundred
pounds and consisted Of glided ball
and crown and great spindle above
It.
To get 1t to the top an inclined plane
Of bamboo scaffolding like a huge TO-
boggan slide had been built. and was
decorated with silk flags and umbrel-
las. Up the inclined plane the heavy
cap was slowly pulled. Six days
were required for the ascent and q
seventh to fasten it In place.

Asparagus Has a Pedigree.

Asparagus was cultivated in Rome
200 years B. c., and Pliny, In his His
tory Naturalis," mentions that near
Ravenna there grew kind Of which
three heads weighed pound. Aspar-
agus fourished also in Greece. It is
a native of several places near the sea
In Britain. At Kynance cove, in
Cornwall, rocky island is called "As-
paragus island" because at one time
the plant was cultivated there. In an
Client days all sprouts Of young vege-
tables were called asparagus; and in
comparatively modern times the arti-
choke, cardoon, seakale and allsander
were included. Nowadays only the
one is SO called. Most probably all
are wild sea-coast plants, and cult
waited asparagus Of an unpalatable Or
der may still be found on British
shores.
