 WASHINGTON - Miss Florence Holbrook, who attended the National Woman's party convention here as delegate from Chicago, thinks that women. having won the right to vote should band themselves into a move ment to prevent future wars.
 T am convinced the women of America want no more wars, says she. The thing to do to prevent war is to elect women to public office. Men cannot fairly represent women S views"

44.HoUR WEEK

The employing printers throughout
the country are face 70 face with a de-
mand by their employees for a a.
hour week. eight hours Of work five
days in the week and four hours the
sixth day At the same time they de-
mand no reduction be made in the
present scale Of wages.
The employers fatty refuse, and
May is set as the date for a general
walk-out Of the printers. Neither side
seems the least inclined to yield. and
it is likely that hundreds, If not thous-
ands. Of printing Offices throughout
the country win close indefinitely.
Fortunately this only affects job
printing plants, though many small
er papers which operate job printing
departments may also be affected. The
Revcille is largely family affair, and
a strike here would simply be a house
divided against itself.

4 BLuNDER. IL TRUE.

The Spectator, a publication devoted
70 insurance, eriticizes the organizers
Of the Mississippi Insurance Company
for misreprescnting igures published
BY that journal relative to the earn
ings Of the big insurance companies.
Il says;
"A full page advertisement re-

cupie@ by table which IS improp-

The particular thing objected to
was the reported earnings Of other
insurance companies which were Civ
en- as high as $50 per cent. These
figures are arrived at,. says the Spec
tator, without considering 50 trivial
matter as the increase IL liabilities
Of the companies.
The Spectator further says.
Until these deceptive ratios Of
earnings were published recently,
aad unblushiHgly credited to The
Spectator, this journal had no is
sue with the Mississippi Fire In

nolds, is organizer; but we sub

take over the ire insurance bugi-
ness given up by the regular conn
panies forced from the state. and
invites future bitter disappoint-
mens from the stockholders which
it Is endeavoring to gather to-
gether."
II would appear from the above that
stock holders Of the newly organized
company have been deceived. whether
Intentionally or unintentionally, by the
glowing accounts Of the enormous
earnings Of insurance companies.
The thing which concerns the public
generally is safe insurance. If the
new Mississippi Insurance Company
can hold up and finally demonstrates
its ability TO take care Of the business
Of the state. every loyal citizen should
prefer 70 patronize it to insuring
with outside companies; but what are
we to do until it gets in a position to
give the needed protection? It may
be several years before this new COM
pany can handle even a fair proportion
Of the business.

INTERESTING INCIDENT
OF THE CIVIL WAR

An interesting incident connected
with the Civil War was brought out at
the meeting Of the Alumnae Associa-

Friday.

through the county to flank Vicksburg
Mrs. Regan's home near RoclSySprings
was raided by some Of the troops who
took some Of the silverware. Thirty
years after the war, friend saw the
following article in a Washington pa

New York. Feb. .25-Willie Jackson received the judges' decision over Johnny Dundee at the end of | fifteen round bout here at Madison Square Garden tonight. The two New York iightweights fought fast battle
 Jackson weighed 133 3-4 rounds at two o'clock this afternoon and Dun- dee three pounds lighter. It was their teHth.ring meeting.
 Z Jackson's superiority tonight was demonstrated decidedly but Dundee gave a wonderful exhibition Of game ness and ring strategy.
 In the early rounds Jackson kept pounding with lefts and rights to the body and head. Dundee did most of hiss work with his left in tabs and hooks to head and face.
 In the eighth and ninth rounds Dun- dee oNtgeneralled his opponent but during the remainder of the fight Jackson scored heavily with hard blows on head and body. Dundee fought back with great vim and ecur- age.
 In the final round Jackson tried for knockout but Dundeey was fighting him toe to toe at the final bell.
