Former Premier Of Italy.

T>HE exaltations Of patriotism
are always extremely dan
,gerous; they represent q
collective ntoxica a ton
which carries away as in a
whirlwind the most serenely mind
ed Of men. In this nationalist
mania which has developed in Eu-
rope since the war the more
acutely stricken are the smaller
peopies which have worked them
selves up to a state of frenzy and
demand the realization Of vast ex-
pansionist programs, while some of
them barely possess the means Of
existence.
Greece, Jugoslavia, Czechoslo-
vakio. Rumania and above all Po-
land arc animated by ambitious
dreams. The immediate object Of
these ambitions is invariably aim
ed to the detriment Of the neigh
boring states, but the counter
blast has the effect Of disturbing
the general equilibrium Of Europe,
where the modern means of pro-
duction and exchange are daily be-
coming moro difficult.
~
Poland has been conceived by the
treaty Of Versailles as q great
state. It was not a question Of
resurrecting the Polish nation, but
Of creating Polish military state,
with the principal object of disor-
ganizing Germany. Poland has
been a political and military
rather than national creation.
True. Polish patriots must con-
slider with the greatest anxiety
the task that has been set them,
and we who are sincere friends Of
the Polish nation and impartial
spectators Of events must recog-
nize that Poland. emerged as by .
miracle from the war (for nobody
could have foreseen the stimuli
taneous collapse OF the two con-
tral empires and Of the Russian
empire), Is following . most alb
surd policy and sowing the seeds
Of terrible and bloody strife for
its people.

Coincident with the appointment of
Pickens Neagle as solicitor Of the
Navy Department was the issuance
Of an order merging that Office with

restored the status that prevailed
prior to July, 1908, when Secretary
Metcalf made the solicitors office an
Independent bureau.
Under the new order the solicitors

Somebody in France has quoted
Napoleon rs regretful exclamation in
the solitude Of st. Helena: mot to
have established a powerful Poland
to act as keystone to the European
edif1ce; not to have destroyed Prus-.
sia; to have undervalued Russia;
these have been the great mistakes
of my life."
Napoleon in his greatness as an
observer regarded continental politics
from an entireley mistaken point Of
view. namely. that Of the durability
of Frances hegemony over Europe.
Lasting hegemonies are no Lager
possible.
History repeats itself, and ererors
possess mysterious force of repro
duction which time often increases.
AL the controversies which are har-
rassing and e>hausting Europe, in
cluding the vexed question Of Upper
Silesia, are nothing but a return of
this old Napoleonic conception-to
transform Poland into q great MILL
tary state at the service Of Frances
expansionist policy and to disorgan-
Ire Germany.
Those countries which, like the
United States Of America and Italy,
took part in the war not with Inn
perialistic aims in view but prompted
by . sincere desire for democracy
and peace; those countries which,
like Great Britain. regard the equi-
librium Of continental politics q vital

Everybody knows that between
France and Poland there not only
exist political and military treaties,
but that Poland. moreover. may
be regarded as entirely under the
influence of France. her political
system now bereft Of all liberty
of movements and initiative.
Poland, who is extremely poor.
and whose currency is the most
discredited in Europe, receives
financial aid from France. She Is
thus enabled to maintain under.
arms the most numerous army OF
Europe. Not only relatively. as
compared with her population, but
in absolute figures. no other Eu-
ropean country. with the excep-
ton of Russia, maintains on q

industries are paralyzed.> paper

Wells Owen.

On the afternoon of Oct. 18th:
at the residence Of the brides Pa
rents, Mr.. and Mrs. Will Owen
there was beautiful home we'd
ding when the lovely daughter
Miss Viola, was given in marriage
to Mr.. w. E. Wells of Clinton Miss.
There was present, only the i'm"
mediate families and a few friends
from Jackson and Clinton. The
home was beautifully decorated
with Autumn leaves and Golden
rod-by a loving friend, Miss
Constantine, of Jackson.
Miss Sadie McGilvra sang
when song is sweet" and then
played the wedding march.
Miss Verna Owen, sister of the
bride, entered with Mr.. Geo. Rat

Patty Leigh McGilvra, ring bear
er. Then came the bride, in travl-
ing suit of gray broadcloth, on the
arm Of the young man of her
choice. and as they stood under
the bell of Autumn flowers the
ceremony was performed by Rev.
Jas. G. Galloway.
After the ceremony, came the
cutting Of the Brides cake, and
there was much merriment, as the
young people looked for their
fortunes in each slice that was
cut.
| Then came the departure for
their home in Clinton, with the
best wishes, and a shower of rice
from their friends.

Better School Week Observed
In Rankin County

Addresses were made to the
patrons and children at the fol-
lowing places:
Tuesday, Oct, plain, Star,
Clear Branch, and Florence.
Wednesday Oct Gross Roads
Shiloh, and Pelahatchie.
Thursday, Oct. 6-Langford,
New Prospect, Brandon, Fannin,
Leesburg, Holly Bush, and Pisgah.
Friday, Oct. Cato, Pickett,
Antioch, and Johns.
The interest of the people of the
county IN the efforts put forth
during Better School Week" is,
indeed, gratifying. In nearly every
community where meeting was
held the patrons turned loose their
work and came out to hear those
patriotic citizens who had volun-
teered their services to come into
our county in the interest of our
bows and girls. 1t was gratifying
to see that the people were taking
a much greater interest in the ed
ucation of their children than they
did even a few years ago.
Especially, was it pleasing to
note the school spirit that exists
in several of the schools visited,
where the patrons as awhOle are
pulling together to give the child
rem of their respective districts
the very best education in their
power to give. The people in these
communities were interested in
providing suitable buildings, lib
rarieS, and other necessary equip
ment, and along with these effic-
lent teachers. These bright lights
near future the conditions in the
rural schools will be so much I'M
proved that they will rank close up
to the town and city schools.
The Parent-Teachers Associ-
alton Will be very important fac
tor in building up and keeping up
a school spirit in the rural and
small town schools. No other one
thing will do more for a school
and community than an organi-
zation of this kind, wherein the
people of the community meet,
mix and mingle, discuss matters
of concern to the school and COM
munity, and make and carry out
plans for the upbuilding of both
school and commr nifty. In unity
there's strength, so every comm
unity should unite in the great
cause of educating our future men
and women. 1t was noted in this
educational campaign that the pa
rents and teachers In every COM
munity visited were interested in
the organization of a Parent
Teachers Association. In several
places good live organizations
were already perfected and doing
great work.
AS a whole the school spirit
the county was found to be
good. improvements have been
made in most all of the schools,
but the people, realizing that
their children deserve the best to
be had in the way of an education,
are determined to improve more
and more as time passes. Very
little sentiment favoring reduc-
ton in school expenses was found.
The people realize that to hold the
good ones that salaries of teach
ers must be at a figure common
surate with their duties and quail
fication.
1t is nv sincere hope that much

To The People Of The Eighth

that was ready to meet any issue
that they might raise, provided
they raised it in time to meet it,
yet today, In the last half of the
last week before the election, and
too late for me to obtain personal
endorsements, the Roger Wilson
Campaign Committee challenges
me to produce such endorsements.

dorsements, and besides have at

MENT of the neople, given to M
by the people of my home county,

Wilson to compare his, and that
record is as follows:

sentative in the legislature, four
candidates being in the race, |
was nominated in the first cleo
tion by a vote of 1122, the same
year Mr.. Wilson was defeated in
Neshoba and Leak counties.

Attorney, with five candidates in
the race. received 1866 votes IN
my home county.
In 1914 as candidate for Judge
of this District, / received in my
