COMING TO GRENADA

Is woman's love deeper and more
lasting than mans? Let Pauline
Frederick answer this question for
you in Madam X"
Madam Y" is adapted from the
French of Alexander Bison, and has
been hailed as one Of the greatest
plays ever presented. Competent
critics say that the picture is even
greater. 1t is an inspiring story of
mother love.
Madam k is tragedy, but it is
tragedy o. the sort that thrills and
purifies ones thoughts and ideals.
Pauline Frederick as Jacqueiine Flo

all her previous efforts. She is at

BLIND YOUTH"

Those who failed to see Lou Telle-
gen in Blind Youth" at the Opera
House Tuesday night missed one of
best road shows that has been to
Grenada.
Mr.. Tellegen, in the. leading role
was supported by a cast of players
hard to beat, among who were George
Deneuborg, Schuyler White, Robert
Simpson and Juliette Crosby.
Mr.. Tellegen is an artist and would
thrill any audience even in the thea
teIs OF the great cities of the land.
He was so deeply in earnest and so
true to life that he could not fail to
teach some most excellent lessons
while at the same time thrilling and
pleasing his audience who would al,
most rise to tip toe to applaud his
most telling points or features. Mama
ger Tyson is to be commended and
congratulated for bringing ssBlind
Youth to Grenada. He was fortu-
aste in securing thep1ay

REVISED OR COMPLETED
ELECTION RETURNS.

1t seems that the vote published
last week in these columns of tn,
election Nov 2, was not complet,
and that the revised or complied re
turns certified to by the election com
missioners show the following on the
constitutional amendments:
/ Against disturbing the law as tC
roads: For, 113; against, 367.
For electing levee Commissioners,
For, 393, against 150
Enfranchising women, For, 1872
against 1876.
1885, against 112.
Changing Confederate pension law,
For -349, against 76.
There were five Republican votes
at the Grenada precinct and six So
cialist votes At Providence there
was one Socialist vote and one at Hol-
comb. There were also six votes at
Holcomb for the Republican electors.
AT this writing it is not yet know:i
the result throughout the State on
the proposed erdments except as
to the first one, the one proposing to
change the law in regard to working
the roads, and that one was badly
beaten. A vast majority OF those who
voted on the amendments voted for
their adoption, but the doubt about
their adoption grows out of the fact
that the law requires, Sc the Supreme
Court has held, that any amendment
to carry, must have d majority Of
all the votes last ut nat election.
There were quite number Of sur
prises in the vote for Harding and
Debs throughout the state. 1T Dal-
las, Gov. Russell's old precinct in La
Fayette county, the vote was, Hard
ing AZ, Cox, and Debs 3. So it is
that there will be but voters there |
who can participate in the next state |
primary. At Purvis and many other |
places in south Mississippi, the vote Tor
Harding and Debs far exceeded the |
vote for Cox. The question that
naturally comes to the loyal Demo-
rats of the state, is Is it fair to
hose who bear the brunt of the bat
lie to allow boiling Democrats to vote
n Democratic primaries?

ltributions for one week, beginning
November 18th.
| This money will be spent on our

We need books for our children 10
read from the first grade through the
High School. We need books of trade
biography, fiction, story books, lefer
ence books of all kinds, i'm fact we
need substantial library for every
room A good school library will
give the children a thirst for infor-s
nation, taste for good reading, and
will start them in the port of self-edu-
cation. Why teach children to read,
at all if books be not afterwards
furnished for them to read?

said To teach child to read and
not teach it what to read, is to place
dangerous weapon in its hands

THE ELECTION: ITS RESULT
WITH THE CAUSE, AND THE
| LESSONS 1T TEACHES

According to returns from the elec
tion last Tuesday the country ha.
voted to go back to the ''fiesh pots
Lof Republicanism. If the people o1
the United States prefer the old or
der of universal preparedness for war
with its military pomp and circum-
stsance and attendant burdens upon
the taxpayers of all nations, they
should have what they prefer. Let
them have it in full measure cheap
| ed and running over"
! They have rejected the Covenant
of Peace and declared in unmistaka-
bic terms that they desire the con-
tinuance of vast military ar7naments
rather than the development of the
arts of Peace, and the worlds indus
trial resources. So it is then!
1t is useless to moralize or theorize
O. to the causes which shaped the re-
suits of Tuesdays election. Suffice
1t to say that the prime cause was
the millions of half-baked foreign
born voters who have flocked to our
shores to enjoy the free institutions
of America without transferring their
allegiance to America.
Pruss;an militarism is so deeply in
stilled into them through generations
of life under militaristic forms of
European governments that they pre-
fer it to the gentler policies of free
democracy.
There may be some honorable ex-
ceptions to this general rule, but the
exceptions are only numerous enough
to prove the rule. This is the cause of
Tuesdays election result, and is also
the lesson Of said result which patrio-
tic Americans will do well to treasure
in their memories, and to remedy by
future legislation, if possible.-Cot-

BISHOP BRATTON HERE LAST
SUNDAY.


Bishop Theodore Dubose Bratton
of Jackson. filed the pulpit at the
Episcopal church in Grenada at last
! Sunday morning service He was
greeted by good size congregation
While he did not announce his theme,
it might be called. The religious
shaking up OF the world" which the
noted divine showed began during
the time of Christ. He cited numer-
Gus instances since when Jehovah had
seemingly shaken the earth TO its very
foundations to remind men OF their
doings and to make them turn them
faces towards God. The last of these
shocks, he said, was the worldwide
war. He had visited Germany, he
stated, just about the time hostilities
ceased and he said that the fact that
nation had forgotten God and had
substituted for Him Oden, and so
many man-made things, had caused
the Germans TO forget their relations
to humanity and to want to substi-
tute the rule OF Germany for the rule
of God. The Bishop brought an in
dictment against America because she
had been allowing SO many of her
educators to attend German univer-
sites to get the so-called finishing
touches. He said that when these
professors tutored in Germany return
ed home, they were foolish enough
to try to innoculate the American
youth with their misteachings, all of
which, he stated, had gone long
way toward undermining the true
spirit and life OF this country It |
was great appeal for the enthrone-
ment of God and a fellowship with |
the church in all things
