proposed Act OF Vandalism

Proposed Act OF vandalism
The ruthiessness of legislative
thought, as II controls the minds
of certain members Of the lower
house of the. Mississippi legisla-
ture. partakes Of the character OF
vandalism.
The shocking suggestion, as II
has developed among a few
members of the House, allotted
by the local interests of Jackson.
To move the State [ niversityfrom
Oxford TO the Capital city, is a
breach OF state wide sentiment.
as well as a violation of expedi-
ency and economy. The asso-
Citations which the present gen
Grafton of the people OF The State
have with the present location
of their University il similar 10
the sentiment which ali Chris
tian peoples have for the sacred
city Of jerusalem. A PROPOSE
ton to move Jerusalem from It's
present site and locate it at any
other point would constitute NJ
less a suggestion OF vandalism
than topropose the moving OF the
State University to Jackson.
Associated with The University
at its present location are IT
great ChanceiIors, Deans auc
Professors, who, BY dint Of theil
faithfulness, patriotism and train
ing, equipped the young men o
Mississippi to put their State II

the SiSterhood of states.
To disturb the sacred assOcia
ton that exists between the Uni
versity, its preceptoTs and if
clientele, BY tearing the institu
lion from its present logical 10
cation, would be an unpardOn
able act of vandalism.
North Mississippi deserves tina

No interest of local enterprise
that is actuated by the local am
bition of any city, no matter if
is the Capital city, should weigh
to permit the State University (

The Prospect Threatens

If the people knew the pros
pect that threatens this section
Of the State they would be wild
with enthusiasm, enterprise and
action.
We use the word threaten IN
the above paragraph because
each day brings development of
the prospect nearer TO them with
little invitation on their part.
The probability that oil I'M
derlies considerable of the area
of Monroe county has not yet
aroused our people TO a posi-
bliity of a reality of the fact.
Yet III other sections of the
State, where evidences of oil are
no more obtrusive than here, the
people are exploiting and drill
ing 10 ascertain the truth.
In Lee, Neshoba, Washington.
Lowndes, Lafayette and various
counties along the coast, Compa-
nieS have been formed, and in
several of them, actual drilling
for oil has begun.
Ultimately Monroe county
people will catch the fever, and
when they do, timbers suitable
for erecting oil derricks will be
in demand.

DON'T PUT OFF REINSTATEMENT.
DO 1T NOW.

Do TT NOW.
Misleading statements have been
made to the effect!that Government
insurance will cease at the end of
five years after the war, or that it
will be turned over to private COM
panies, Such statements are abso-
lutely false and without foundation
There is. however. a requirement
that the temporary term insurance
held during the war be changed
into one of the six permanent forms
of Government life insurance, with
in five years, if the insured desires
to continue to be protected.
Come to your local Red Cross
office to get rates. Secretary, Mae
Richardson, Office City Hall.
Yours very truly.

FanaticiSm has made its ap-
pearance in the lower house of
the Mississippi legislature. Some
oyer Jealous member has intro
duced a bill to rob proprietary
and patent medicines Of their eff
ficiency BY prescribing less per
centage Of alcohol in their COM
pound than is necessary TO pre-
serve the curative properties OF
the drugs they contain.
We speak OF House Bill No.
247, which bans as unlawful
anything over ten per cent. OF
alcohol to be used in any com
pounded proprietary or patent
medicine.
Every man of ordinNary infor-
nation knows that no preserva
tive or solvent can take the place
ofalcohol in holding propertiesoi
drugs in suspension without seri-
ously impairing their curative
qualities. Ii is known by most
people that less than ten per
cent. of alcohol in any mixture
that is susceptible of fermenta-
ton Or deterioration viii nol
prevent these destructive pro-
cesseS from taking place.
This paper stands for prohibi
ton as the rule is applied TO pre-
vention OF the use OF alcohol IN
any form of beverages. 1t does
not sanction indulgence in a
sentiment that transcends the
bounds OF sanity and riots in q
field OF fana,Icislll-it draws the
line when fanaticism invades
the realm of common sense.
The author OF House Bill No
247 is unknown to fame, but We
would suggest thar he inform
himself fully on alcohol as pre-
