PRIMITIVE PHYsIC.

The Dispatch, through the courtesy
Of Mr. G, Y. Banks, has been per-
mitted to peruse Of copy Of Primitive
Physic," An Easy and Natural Method
of Curing Most Diseases by John
Wesley, NJ. A.
The book was the property Of his
grandfather and bears the inscrip-
tion, Ralph Banks book, bought
from the Rev. Rush Iyey, May 10,
1892.
The little volume is a treatise upon
the diseases of man at that time with
reproduction of all the remedies in
practice in that primitive day. All
the ills that man is heir to are pro-
vided for and where fatal maladies
are encountered the author With that
deep spiritually which resulted in the
finding of Alcthodism, never fails to
commend the patent to Great Ply
sieians as the cefer OF all disease.
The typograph of that period is
most interesting. IF" is generally

THE STATE LOSES ANOTHER
GOOD MAN.

The State of Mississippi is to lose
another of its great leaders and ed
ucators, one Of its strongest and best
men. President w. II. Smith, of the
A. & NJ. College, has rendered his
resignation and it is understood that
he will engage in vocational educa-
tional work for the government in
connection with the disabled SOL
dier's movement. Reading between
the lines of his resignation it seems
he is dissatisfied with the prospect of
support from his board of trustees
under the present administration and
he would rather surrender his great
task rather than be hampered in its
accomplishment.
His retirement was to be expected,
No man who values his good name
and enters with enthusiasm into his
work can be expected to continue in a
task ard in position which is con-
stantly bombarded with political
rumors affecting his tenure of office
The A. g. NJ and the Mississippi State
College for Women have both been
the subjects of this sort of political
gossip. Ever since Bilbo took the
oath of office, the presidents of both
institutions have been under fire, so
to speak, from friends of the admin
istration and the character of the
gossip was such that it had damag-
ing and demoralizing influence on not
Only the executives work but the
whole institutions. The head of no
great college or other institution can
enter wholeheartedly into his task
with his administration constantly un-
der assault by political partsans and
idle gossip about his tenure being
loosely talked about. President Smith

THE SOLDIER BONUS BILL

The lower house of the republican
congress railroaded the soldier bonus
bill through last Saturday. 1t re-
ceived scant consideration; the stage
was all set, and the bill was passed
without allowing amendment or
change. Notwithstanding that it i'm
poses an additional tax of 81 400 ,000,-
600 on the American people, who al
ready are taxed to death, forty min
utes was allowed for debate.
We do not expect the measure ever
to become a law. The bonus bill is a
votegetter in the north, where votes
are needed, and vote-loser in the
South, where votes arc not needed
1t was hurried through before the
conventions to get the party on record
as favoring it for its political influ-
cnee in the coming election only, in
car opinion. 1t has still to pass the
Senate, and the presidential veto, for
Wilson is against it, before it can
ever become law. With the presi-
dency removed from present consid-
Grafton in the November election, we
expect and hope to see the measure
killed, out of economic necessity for
the welfare of the whole nation.
The republican party is bolstcring
up its cause in every way possible.
The slush-fund nomination campaigns
have hit it body blow; or, rather,
its leading candidates. Big Business
has landed in the Wood and Lowden
and Hoover band wagons. Nor is this
slush-fund confined to the republi-
cans. The Senate Investigating Com
mttee already has uncarthod infor-
nation showing that Democrats have
been generous in their expenditures.
and is also on the trail of the "invis-
ible boom" for McAdoo, involving a
ten million dollar campaign fund
But the establishment of this fund
has not been made yet.
In addition to the slush-fund cam
paign, the republican party is badly
demoralzed by Hiram Johnson's cam
paign. The California Senator is a
"bitter-ender" in the matter of the
Peace League, and he is developing
such strength that he has the "Old
Guard" badly guessing. They fear
he will bolt, despite his qualified de.
NAL from North Carolina. The party
Is trying to patch up platform to
hold him in line, as we'll as his pow,
erful following. IN the meantime the
four million votes represented in the
soldier bonus bill will be relied upon
through the action Of the republican
house in promptly enacting the bill in
The Columbus dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 19??-1922, 1920-06-02

has no doubt grown tired Of It and
has resolved to end it so far as he s.
concerned.
His retirement Is particularly un-
fortunate at the present time His
college is to spend a million dollars
in improvements and extensions along
the lines Of his accepted policy. He
has mastered the job and is ready Ia
make the A. & NJ the greatest in
stitution in all it's history. Politics
has sundered the tie, disrupted the
executive policy, demoraiized the
school and again thrown it into the
scramble for place. We do not know
what the board Of trustees will do
with his resignation The President
has resigned and will probably adj
here to his determination. The peo-
pie largely follow the Alumni and
hope that he will reconsider and re-
main and continue and complete the
good work that has been begun But
if he persists in his resignation, the
trustees are confronted with the re-
sponsibility of selecting his success
sor.
The Alumni has endorsed Prof. B.
NJ. Walker, vice president of the
school for many years. The people Of
this section heartily concur in the
Endorsement and The Dispatch is glad
to reflect it, He probably knows
more about the A. & NJ College than
any man living. He was a member
of its first graduating class and has
won honors in the field of education
along with those attained by Blewett
Lee in law and Gus Evans in medi-
cine. In scholarly attainment the
South posses no more splendid mind.
For forty years he has been a large
factor in the growth and development
Of the A, & NJ. He is familiar with
its executive and administrative prob
lens and has met both with fine
satisfaction. He is a national and
international scholar, one of the
States ablest and strongest educators
and a citizen Of the commonwealth
whose record is exemplary in all
spheres.
To our mind his largest asset is
that he is no political PARTISAN in the
present day aceeptation Of the term.
While manifesting a deep interest in
all the States welfare, he has voted
his convictions for policies and not
men. No thought of political re-
ward has ever shaped or shaded
his course and here lies his strength
with the people Of the State. We
believe that it would be big, mag
unanimous act of the present board to
crown his loyal and patriotic service
to the A. e. M. and the cause of ed
ucation generally by making him
president of A. & M. He has earned
it, he is qualified for it and it ought
to come to him, The State can have
no broader or finer policy than to
reward its loyal, deserving, qualified
sons.

London-A. J. Balfour, lord presi
dent of the council, outlining In the
House Of Comomns the work done to
ward setting up the organization OF
the League Of Nations in its present
position and its prospects in the i'm.
mediate future, said that the League
had already been able to perform con.
siderable service to the comfy Of ma
tons. The secretariat, he said, was
now, broadly speaking, complete and
an Office had been established for the
registration Of treaties
Probably the most important aspect
OF the pact, he said, was that In the
future no contracts between nations
would be valid unless open to inspec-
ton and the change to open diplomacy
he thought, would be beneficial.
Mr.. Balfour declared that the i'm.
portant question Of expenditures
among the nations composing the
League would be submitted for the
consideration of experts when the I'M
ternational finance committee met at

Thursday morning. He accidently
cut the large blood vessel in his arm
just above the elbow with glass. If
it were not for the presence of mind
of several young men who were with
him when it happened he would have
died from lack of blood. His arm
was tied tight above the cut but it
would not stop bleeding so they held
their fingers tight above the bleed
ing vessel and he was rushed to DR..

loss of blood. 1t was with difficulty

Premiers' Conference Refuses
Permit For Maintenance of
Force of zoo, 600.
INDEMNITY IS FIXED
Three Billion Gold Marks Is Minimum
Sum Germany Must Pay to Allies
Disarmament Terms Must
Be Obeyed.

BoulOgne-The conference of the
premiers will at once send to Ger
many letter demanding execution of
the clauses of the Treaty of Versailles
relating to disarmament. The text
will not be given out until it is re-
ceiyed in Berlin, but the letter is un-
derstood to be categorical refusal to
allow Germany to maintain an army
Of 100000 men.
This letter, which Marshal Foch and
Field Marshal Wilson finished draft
ing at their hotel while most of the
delegates attended picnic lunch, was
taken up by the council Immediately
upon reconvening. The council also
discussed reparations and the Turkish
situation at this session, which was
prolonged until late hour.
Three Billion Marks Is Minimum.
The premiers considered the reports
Of the financial experts as well as the
reports Of the Preparations commits
sion, which for the first time is sitting
here concurrently with the Peace con-
ference. The experts fixed the maxi
mum total sum Germany is to pay,
with interest in annuities, at a mini
mum Of 3.00O.0o0.0O0 marks gold,
which is susceptible to increase, ac-
cording to Germany's economic recoy-
cry and increased capacity to pay.
While the members Of the confer
ence seem agreed as to the amounts
and conditions of payment, they do not
agree as to the division Of the repara-
tons among themselves, because Of
Italy's demand for 20 per cent Of the
amount instead Of per cent originally
allotted. Both the reparatfons and
Turkish questions win be further con-
sidered.
Although the Hythe meeting result
ed in an greement regarding Greek
military activities In Turkey, the con-
ference has not yet reached decision
on this subject.
Turkey will not be given an extern
sion Of time to consider the peace
treaty, according to communique
given out by the delegates after their
return from the conference.
