Washington. Nov. Sat the conclu-
sion of a two-day session In this city
the national disarmament advisory
committee invited TO convene by Pres
ident Gompers formed permanent
organization 10 be known as the gen.
eral committee for Limitation or arma-
ment.
The organization will be directed by
a board OF governors OF 81 members
and an executive committee OF five.
There will be a chairman, honorary
chairman, secretary, treasurer, and an
executive secretary. Offices will be
opened in Washington at once.
Membership on the board OF COVER
nors will be so arranged as to make
that body representative OF all organ
lied groups which favor limitation OF
armament.
The two-day conference. presided
over by President Gompers. was re-
markable for It's unity OF view point
and for its expression OF determination
TO give free to Mr.. Gompers' declara-
ton for the furihest limit" OF dis
armament.
In its declaration OF principles and
purposes the conference said, I'm part:
ut Is not our purpose to attempt to
suggest definite proposals 10 end war.
This heavy responsibility rests on the
appointed representatives of our own
and other governments.
But we believe that few general
principles are accepted as self-evident
by a great majority of our fellow coun-
trymen, and that IL may be helpful to
restate them at this time.
The United States alone and sim
gle manded cannot best serve the
eat cause of peace by disarming.
Even II such solitary disarmament
were possible to limited extent, II
would not make for world peace. It
would only lessen our power to stadn
for freedom and TO protect democracy
throughout the world Disarmament
can be made effective only by interna.
tional agreement. There Is no other
way.
Great armies and navies are not
the chief cause of war. Frightful as Is
the burden they put upon the peoples
of the earth a great world war Is In.
finitely worse. Great ornaments are
not the only means OF destruction. Ter
rible as will be the devastation Of the
world by its armies and navies, the

the following timely comments un-
der the head of ignorance and
coWardice."
The first skirmishes of the
forthcoming POLITICAL battles are
now taking place, and it is about
time when some of the candidates
and their cohorts, if they follow
their usual custom. will commence
referring to the various news
papers of the state, especially if
said newspaper is opposed to them,
as this or tina" little newspaper, /"
or this or that little newspaper
man." This custom may not all be
confined to any one or faction,
but it is am ugly and ill-bred one.
There are darn few politicians
who are not small calibre than the
editors of newspapers who they
are pleased to term as little news
papers If they are really states
men, then they are men of brain
and breeding sufficient to teach
Them that the newspapers of the
country and state are doing most
valiant service for the territories
they occupy. Not only that, but
when they use terms it is generally
from the platform, when they have
an advantage and hence the refer
ence is not only ill-bred but cow
lardly.
Them again, there are few pea
Inut politicians who occasionally
have the gall to refer to the press
as being bought or subsidized"
Then as soon AIS they proclaim
this from the platform or street
corners. some of their henchmen,
who know no better pass it on.
Such reference as these are born
lof dense ignorance, and their au-
thors generally know as much
labout newspapers and newspaper
men as a pig knows about decency
We do not know of such refer
Pence being made lately, but they
have been made in former smutty
l'campaigns and should they be
made again, "them's our senti-
ments." and we believe the senti-
ments of a large majority of the

REVOLVER WAS INVENTED

vention of the automatic pistol,
was the most deadly small arm
known to man, was born of the
BRAIN of fourteen year old boy,
Samuel Colt. Colt ran away from
school and shipped on board a
merchant vessel bound for the
East Indies. He had a good deal
of idle time on his hands once the
ship was well at sea, and a long
period of calm weather followed
it's movements. He began tosee
an outlet for his active inagi-
nation and mechanical urge. He
attempted various things to aid
sailing, but without any great
success. He then took to planning
pistol that would shoot several
with a single load. He had only
bits of wood and jack knife to
work with but before the voyage
was over he had cut out model
for revolver very similar to the
pattern still in use.
Once at home again, he went to
work in his fathers factory, but
the revolver idea was still in his
head, and he worked at it from
time to time until he was twenty
one. At this point his experiments
had advanced so far that he asked
and received patents in Americe
and European countries. A stock
company was organized, and from
this humble start the great Colt
arms factory was begun and the
revolver put on the market that
soon carried it around the world.

Jackson, Miss. Sept. 9th. The
out standing features of the live
stock show at the Mississippi
State Fair this year will be the
exhibit of dairy cattle and it is
expected to fully exemplify the
great progress made with that I'M
dustry in this state during the
past few years.
At former events, the State Fair
has featured beef cattle and the
dairy section has been almost
overshadowed by the big HEREFORD
and Angus cattle, but this year
the Jerseys and HOlsteins will
have their innings and will come
in for a big share of the price
money.
In addition to the liberal pre-
miums offered by the State Fair
the Mississippi Jersey Cattle Club
is offering handsome special a.
wards and "a number of individual
premiums will also be competed
for. All of the best dairy farms in
the state will send the pick OF
their herds for the Jersey com
petition and the Holstein-Frier
sian exhibit also promises to be 8
notable one.
Already the State Fair manage
ment is confronted with a serious
problem relative to the genera
agricultural exhibit, the entire:
already made being more thar
sufficient to fill the big building
However. arrangements are beinl
made to erect several large tented
annexes to this structure to take
care of the overflow.
There will be at least 1000 corr
club boys and fully 500 members
of the girls clubs in jackson
throughout the State Fair period
and tie juvenile exhibitors are GO
ing to be very much in the lime
light when they put ON display
their achievements in agriculture
and home economice work during
the past year.
