''Save PARTY Honor

Hearing, Scoring Pickets
Who Boast of Jail Terms

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 2S.-Gov-
grant a hearing to the women of the
South on questions of estate rights
and party honor" in a telegram sent to
him by the Southern Womens League
for Rejection of the Susan B. Anthony
Amendment. 1t was signed by Mrs
James S. Pinckard, of Montgomery
Ala. president general of the league.
The message declared that the "home
loving women of the South, who do not
picket, card index or blackmail candi-
dates, appeal to you as the leader of
the Democratic party to grant us a
hearing, not on woman suffrage, which
any state can adopt for itself without
changing comma of the Federal Con-
stltution, but on two fundamental
Democratic principles, state rights and
party honor"
The appeal was made, the message
continued, because it was proposed to
bring about the political conscription
of our womanhood and the destruction
Of Southern civilization by using Fed
eral patronage and party pressure tc
coerce the legislators of Tennessee into
violating their solemn oaths Of office
and their state constitutions
Sufragists were boasting, the appeal
said, that Governor Cox had sent
secret agents into Tennessee mot
only to destroy state rights, but to
urge legislators to dishonor their
oaths of office"
The suffrage plank in the Democratic
platform was declared to condemn the
women of the South and the majority
of the women Of the country without a
hearing, and was characterized as "a
studied insult to the women of the
South" implying a desire to read out
OF the Democratic party the entire
South because it opposed ratficatio OF
the suffrage amendment
Governor Cox was entreated to ex-
tend to Southern women "seekine

Mannix Must Not Land in
Ireland, Is Only Ruling

LONDON July 2s.-The British gov
ernment has decided upon only one
thing in connection with Archbishop
Mannix, Of Melbourne, Australia, COM
ing to the British Isles, and that Is
that he will not be allowed to land in
Ireland 1t is evident that the officials
have been unable to decide what they
will do should he not attempt to land
at Queenstown but did attempt to dis

Archbishop Mannix has been officially
notified that he will not be allowed tc
go to Ireland, but the government is
taking no steps to prevent him from
boarding the steamer Baltic, which
sails from New York on Saturday.

FOREST FIRES WASTE WEALTH
Future Of country's Timber Supply
Depends on the Elimination OF
CONGREGATIONS,

The future of our timber supply de-
ponds In large measure on the elimi-
nation of the forest fires which annual
ly burn over large tracts Of cut-over
and waste lands in the South. says
Prof. 81. w. Barre, director of the
South Carolina experiment station. All
of our native pines produce an abund-
ance of seed, and where these fall
and remain uadlsturhed, young trees
readily spring up. Seeding pines will
not stand even a light fire., When the
land Is burned over every year, it Is
impossible to get good stand of Wig
orous young pines; but if fires are kept
out, young trees come up to thick
stand and grow rapidly,
One tract of eut-over pine land in
the Coastal Plain section seeded to
slash pine twenty-one years ago was
scaled recently and found to contain
~ cords of wood, or the equivalent
Of 21,OOO board feet Of lumber per
acre. Thousands Of acres in South
Carolina will do as well II the fires
are kept out and nature Is given
chance to reproduce our forests.

Rabbits Killed in Drive

Idaho has conducted rabbit drives,
in recent weeks, on as big scale as
when the country was new. Because
the cold weather brought the rabbits
by the thousands to feed in the irri-

extraordinary damage in some section
One drive netted over 5000 rabbits
and another $500: In Minidoka

MONTEREY, FRIDAY FEB. 10, 1920

Judging from the experience OF
Andy ]. Simmons, it is easier for
notwithstanding politician to be
elected to the Legislature or Congress
than for a feeble old veteran to get
into the soldiers home in Virginia.
Finding himself destitute and
homeless, he made application for ad-
mission to the home in December and
the red tape is still in process of un-
winding. This is especially surpris-
ing, not to say provoking, when the
merits of the case are so we'll known
and easily established. Uncle Andy,
according to the testimony of every
one Of his comrades, was a good SOL
der: the roster shows his place in
the old 31st and that he went with
the first volunteers from Highland III
1851 and stood near the great South
ern leader when ne met Grant at APP
pomattox, and yet, with no possible
room TO .dOuDt his eilSipiilly' Ae IL
thrown upon the charity of friends,
in the midst of winter, while red tape
is unwound. -
Discouraged, at one time, he decid-
ed to enter the aims house of his
home county while application was
pending but--sympathetic friends
have thus far taken care of him and
spared the Old. Mother State the
shame of seeing one of her deserving
boys of els find his way to parish
farm. |
The Legislature would do well tc
look into this mismanagement~.an e
do away. with some of the business
there prevailing.

Something or-nothing lads go to
church and stay until just before the
aims basin is passed around. When

sneak out on tiptoe, while others
stalk out ostentatiously. Sneakers
and stalkers alike think they have

have not. -
In politics the neutrality-suspicious.
ling lads put their faith in the. one
gallus boys, the wool hat cohorts,

The one gallus boys can always be
depended on to cheer such sentiments
as these, but sometimes they don't
vote the way they cheer.
The fringe of economics is now
infested with ng-for-nothing
lads. They are the coolies of science
They are teaching that the less a
man works the more pay he should
get; that the smaller the product of
a machine the higher the wages
charged against it should go; that
loafer deserves a diligent mans re-
ward. Down with the output, up
with the pay scheduled" is the slogan
they raise wherever they can get any
body to listen to them; and they get
the ears of all the clock watchers.
notwithstanding lads are a
nuisance, but they do not Use to the
dignity Of a menace. Inevitably they
must bump up against fact, and
when they do their doctrine goes to
smash.

Commercial education is to receive
ewimpetus at the University of Lon
don, where degrees In commerce are to
be inaugurated in the near future.
There are to be two degrees: First,
that of bachelor of commerce, which
would correspond to the same degree
In the other faeultiesi and, secondly
the degree of master OF commerce. The
salient idea is that a modern language
is to be. taught, not rs an academic,
but as practical subject, says the

Among the languages which are to be
taught as practical rather than aca-

TRIBUTE TO DOGS OF WAR
Official British Report Tells. of Good
Work Done by the Animals at
the Front.

An official report has now been Is.
used on the exploits of the British
wa dogs at the front. Hitherto moth
Ing has been known about them ex.
cept the occasional appearance in the
war films of some shaggy dog rushing
desperately across piece of shell
SCARED country.
The corps Of messenger dogs was
the creation of Col. Richardson, the
widely-known advocate of the use of
dogs in war and police work. The
dogs were trained at a war office
school of instruction. Men with d
knowledge of dogs, such as game.
keepers, shepherds and hunt servants,
were selected as instructors. The first
dog recruits came from various homes
for lost dogs, and many soldier owes
his life to a stray dog saved from the
lethal chamber by the war. Unclaimed
dogs were sent to the camp by the
police and many people sent their pets
as war volunteers.
The best breeds for the purpose
proved to be collies,. sheep dogs lurch-
ers, Welsh and Irish terriers, Aire-
dales and mixtures of these varieties.
The dogs were splendid. They would
make their way through tremendous
barrage where no human being could
CO. and would take vitally-needed
message back in ten minutes over
ground which would take a runner
hours to cross. They were wounded
sometimes, but went on just the same.
During the great German push in
March q Highland sheep dog ran about
two and half miles in ten minutes
with an appeal for relnforcements, and
by SO doing prevented a very serious
disaster. Part of our line was iso-
lated by the barrage, and, thanks to
the dog, a division of French colon.
ials came up In time and saved the
situation.
Dogs did good service in following
up the assaulting troops and taking
back essential information about the
condition of the line and the REIN
forcements needed.
: Out in the Balkans dogs were used
as sentries, and one of them barked
the news of the approach of Bulgar
scout when he was hundreds of yards
away.
