MISSISSIPPI HANDS SUFFRAGE: JOLT 0N
 EVE: 0F 4 VICTORY
Lower House Votes Down Ratification by Vote of
 4 to

Jackson, Miss, March 31.-With only one state lacking to make the national suffrage amendment effec- tive, the Mississippi house of repre- sentatives declined today, more than four to one, to reverse it's previous action and join the senate in adopt ing q ratification resolution. The ac- ton was final. Under the rules the question cannot be re-opened at this session, which ends Saturday.
 Voting on motion to disagree with the senate's resolution approv- ing the amendment, the house over- whelmingly refused to sanction the enfranchisemcnt of wo,nen, although a bill already has been enacted mak- ing provisions for women to vote if the amendment becomes effective. The vote on disagreement was 94 to 23, as compared with a previous ad- verse vote in the house of 106 to 25.
 There was no doubt from the first that the house would express dccis- ively it's opposition to woman suf- frage, despite the appeals of demo- cratic leaders of national prominence that democratic and not republi- can state should be the one to make the amendment effective. Hoots, cat calls and ieers drowned the words of speakers favorng ratification, while cheers greeted those opposing. The members yelled for nearly min- ute when R. H. Watts of Pisgah, arose and shouted:
 q would rather die and go to hades than vote for woman suffrage"
 When Speaker Connor announced he would instruct the clerk to read telegrams from national democratic leaders urging ratification there was a thunder of objections and put to q vote, it. was decided almost unani- mously not to listen to the messages.
 Connecticut Delays. iT
 Hartford, Conn, March 31.-Gover- nor Holcomb will not call special session of the general assembly to take action on the woman suffrage amendment to the federal constitu- tion. A delegation of republicans called upon the governor today and presented him the resolution adopt ed by the republican state conven- tion last week requesting him to call the special session.
 Major John Buckleyy, the execu- tive secretary today on the authority Of Governor Holcomb, gave out the following statement.
 "There will be no formal reply made to the committees request for special session. The governors position continues that no special session will be called.".

Deleware Delays.

Dover, Del, March 31.--The Dela- ware house of representatives today 1alIed to take a vote on the woman suHrage federal constitutional amendment. Plans had been made Tor vote today but when the house met, the sponsor of the house resolu- tlon, Representative Hart, democrat. said certain things had happened since 1t was first decided to take vote and he was not ready to call lt up. There was great confusion on the cor and among the specta- tors when 1t was realized that vote would not be taken and the anti, suHraglst members demanded that tne resolution be called up at once. mart, however, refused to do so and left the chamber. :,

The process of repatriation of ma
tionals from former German and Aus
TRAN colonies in different parts of the
world is attended by much suffering,
loss and heartache to the German col
onists. 1t is a cruel process. These
people who had settled in Samoa,
Africa, China and other r-away places
of the world, had there founded homes,
raised families and laid the foundation
for their existence and the existence of
their descendants = they wanted to
live there; they did not want to return
to Germany to live; they are not es-
pecially welcome there anyway. The
provision of repatriation is part of the
Versailles treaty and is carried out
under its authority by English mad
date. The cruel and unwarranted ex-
lie of these people whose only offense is
the fact that they are German nation
ais, is another argument against the
u. S. signing the treaty in its present
form. It is not only Article x that is
Objectionable; there are other provis-
ions in it which are dictated by vindic-
tiveness, greed and cupidity, and the
U. S. should not become party to a
contract which admits of such prac-
tees

CONGRESSMAN ROYAL G.. JOHNSON
and Senator Arthur Capper are in favor
of the soldiers bonus bill pending be-
fore congress, and both want the fed
eral government to collect the money
to pay the bonus from the war profit
GERS. That sounds fine, but how is it
to be done? Wisconsin and other north
western states states would be glad to
support such a measure, for the war
profiteers live elsewhere. We had no
time or chance to profiteer; we were
paying, working, subscribing in numer-
Gus drives, and eating barley bread,
while our boys fought, suffered and
died in France. Let the war profiteers
pay-if a way can be found to make
them disgorge the illgotten billions.

HOMESTEAD ASSOCIATION.
Success of Movement Launched to
Organize One Here Assured.

Strong impetus was given the move
ment to organize homestead build
ing and loan association here at
meeting held at the Elks' Home last
Sunday forenoon at 1880 o'clock.
The meeting was called for the pur-
pose of discussing the feasibility of
the establishment and euccessful con-
duct of an institution of that char
acter in this city, and an the same
time to afford an opportunity to those
interested of listening to talk by
Ben Mayer of Baton Rouge, on the,
!subject' of the formation end opera-4
ton of such a corporation. A large
number of representative citizens and;
business men of this city and vicinity
responded to the call and all those
Mayors interesting address, in which
he showed the great benefits to be
derived by a community through the
workings of homestead association.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Mayors
talk, it Yves decided to organize a
corporation at once. Temporary or
ganization was effected by the selec-
tion of Walter Lemann as chairman
and R. S. Vickers as secretary. The
company is to have a capital stock of
s25, 700, divided up into shares of
small par value each, so as to place
them within the reach of ell. A nice
amount of the stock was subscribed
for at the meeting and committees
were appointed to call upon the busi-
ness people, citizens, farmers and
workingmen of this city and vicinity
to distribute among them the bal
ance OF the capital stock of the con-
Germ.
1t is not believed, that the COM.
mittees will experience much Difficult
ty IN their work, as stock in home
stead association is generally con-
sidered a safe and profitable invest
ment and is usually sought after by
those who have little money to Law
out where they know that it will bring
substantial returns.

DEMONSTRATION Age,
The New Jersey Liquor Situation.

AC ASS"7 cSA@~-'
"The recent action Of the New Jer
sey legislature in passing a law pur-
porting to legitimatize beer contain
ing three and onc-half per cent al
cohol notwiths tanding the federal
statute making unlawful all bever-
ages containing more than one-half
of one per cent of alcohol, has
brought about an exceedingly awk-
ward situation in that state, and, in
deed, throughout the entire country;
for, if the New Jersey statute is val
id, then the federal law becomes a
nullity in that state; and further
more, if the New Jersey legislature
can thus destroy the effect Of the fed
eral law, then every other state has
power to do the same thing.
''It is reported. however, that steps
are to be taken at once to determine

1t Showed Here.

The cold spell which visited this
section the end of last week and last
Sunday, was followed by light fall
of snow and Slot Monday morning.
Some of the flakes were large, but
they were not manH, and the fall OF
both snow and sleet were not heavy
enough to cover the ground. The
cold is reported to have done great
damage to fruit trees, and the early
vegetables are said to have been
practically destroyed. Sugar cane
planting in this section is about
finished, and considerable amount
of rice had already been sown. These
crops are not believed to have suf-
fered much from the cold. Nor is it
thought that the Irish potatoes,
which were already in the ground,
were injured much. As result OF
this last cold weather, spring vege-
tables of all kinds, such as snap
beans, squash, sweet corn, cucum-
bers, etc., will be very late this sea-
son.
