THEODORE HARRIS, Editor
WHAT THE WORLD OWES US

The United States is the great
est creditor nation III the world,
either now or at any time IN his
tory. There is owing to us By
nineteen nations the staggering
sum OF ten billion, one hundred
and forty-one million dollars.
Great Britain, OF course, heads
the list, with more than four bill
lions. Then France, with near
" three and one-half billions.
Next comes Italy, with one bll-
lion, six hundred and forty-eight
millions. Belgium, with three
hundred and serenty-five mil
lions: Russia, with one hundred
and nillety-two millions; and 70
land, with one hundred and
thirtv-five millions. Even the
little black Republic OF Liberia
owes us $4,000. Cuba owes us
nine millions. and Czecfoslovakla,
ninefy-one millions. Esthonla
owes us fourteen millions. Fin
land got into us to the tune OF
eight millions. The tlourlshlnS
Republic OF Latvia borrowed
five millions. Lithuania also
took five millions, and Rumama
thirty-six millions. Serbia mod
estly requested and obtained
fifty-one millions.
Ii the United States had her
: ten billions in the Treasury, 1t
would necessarily relieve her
people OF much OF their tax bur
dens both now and Tor some time
to come. We cannot agree with
those philanthropists who pro-
pose to forgive Europe Our good
American dollars had and re-
ceivcd. With five millions out
OF work, with a hundred millions
grooming under the legitimate
burdens OF the War. with bust
ness stagnant and nobody paying
their bills except under pressure,
the billions that flowed into Eli
ropean Golfers are sadly needed
at home. Much OF this money
has been raised by our Liberty
Loans: much Of it by oppressive
taxation in every conceivable
shape: and the people gave gladly
and cheeriully, supposing it to go
to the necessary expenses OF a
var i'll which they had no alter
native but to win. But to talk
Of cancelling an indebtedness
every dollar Of which was
squeezed out Of the privations
and self-denial Of our own peo-
ple-verges close onto idiocy.
Instead OF iorgiving Europe
this staggering Indebtedness we
ought to set about collecting it or
at least obtaining proper security
for its future payment. Much
OF it we can never collect in any
event. The longer we let It go
the more remote the chances.
Half the people OF the United
States do not even know where
Latvia and Esthonia are, or even
that such countries exist
The debts accrued out OF
credits granted under Our Lib
erty Loan Acts, sales OF surplus
war materials, food relief, and
the operations OF the Grain Cor
poration. Probably the peoples
needed the money; but 50 did and
50 do we. Some OF it could not
be refused. we doubt not. But
however that may be our govern
ment should take steps toward
the earliest possible repayment

Dixie's Leading School For Young
Women Opens Its Doors This Week
For Another Years Splendid Work
Mississippi College For Women Now Ready 10 Receive
And Educate One Thousand of Magnolia States
Fair Daughters.-Opening Tomorrow.

A school that has a reputation for
thoroughness that is nationwide
with it's graduates in every state in
the union and some foreign fields
the Mississippi State College for
Women-will throw open its doors
tomorrow for another year of eff
ficicnt work along educational lines.
All during the past summer the
painters, plumbers, carpenters, plas-
terers and other workmen have been
busy putting the different buildings
Of the college in tip-top condition, and
the students who were here last year
will be agreeably surprised tomor-
row when they enter school and be-
hold the transformation that has TAX
en- place since they said goodbye to
Doctor FAINT, their teachers, class
mates and friends out in town.
The City of Columbus, Lowndes
County, and the entire State of Mis-
sissippi, are all proud of the Missis-
sippi State College for Women. Dur
ing the thirty-five years of its his
tory, the college has sent out into
the world hundreds of educated, cul-
turned, refined young women to bless
society and the home and church life
of the country. And in all sections
of the federal union there are hearts
that hold fond memories of days and
years spent within the walls of the
college here.
On the 18th of March, 1884, the
Mississippi Legislature passed a bill
establishing the college for girls in
Columbus. 1t was the first State
College ever established for young
women. The school was opened for
students in October, 1885. On the
day of the opening there were pres
ent 25O applicants-more than could
be received. Every session since, the
promise Of the auspicious opening
has been more than fulfilled. During
the thirty-five years of its existence
more than twelve thousand young
women have come under its instrue-
ton.
The school seeks to improve the
intellect by the best methods which
philosophy and experience suggest, to
afford means for broad and thorough
culture, aad to preserve and inn
prove every characteristic of refined
womanhood. The high mission de-
mands high standards. Every incen-
tive of diligence and thoroughness IS
offered and corresponding earnest
ness is expected of every pupil. The
object is to secure to our young wom-
en- accurate and adequate prepara-
tion for usefulness in life.
Inasmuch as representatives from
approximately one thousand Missis-
sippi homes viii spend the next nine
months at the Mississippi State Col
lege for Women. it would not be out
of place at this time to give the peo-
ple of the state a general outline Of
our city and the college.

tants. Il is beautifully situated. and
is one Of the handsomest and most
