THE Antics
ARE TREMBLING.

The Anti press of the State have
already commenced to send up howls,
reminding one of the dog bowling at
the moon.
The Antics imagine they can see
Vardaman in the Senate, yea, and Lee
Russell in the Senate; the Washing
ton papers showing their photographs
and the large majorities of the votes
the people of Mississippi gave them.
Yes, they imagine these things,
they know that time is coming and
they are now setting up lonesome
howl
But, fellow citizens, including the
ladies, Vardaman is not going to be
defeated this time like he was the last
time-the silent vote. The people are
going to turn out and elect him.
There will be no bluffi7g in this elect
ion.
Vardaman will go to the Senate
and will take Williams place. He will
be followed by Governor Lee M. Rus
sell, who will succeed Pat Harrison,
and then Mississippians can hope for
some results from her Senators.

Just to remind you, some of you
people who lost sleep in an effort to
defeat Lee NJ Russell for Governor,
you now see a little of the result of
his election-a million dollars being
spent at the State University at
Oxford. What would we have receiv-
ed had someone else been elected
Governor? Why the University would
have been moved and Oxford property
would have dropped rs per cent below
par. AS it is Oxford is enjoying a
pay roll of from $4,000 to $4,000 per
month these dull summer days. 1t is
great to be on the side of the right.

A KNOTTY QUESTION?

Will the invitation OF FfeSluenC
Harding to the powers of Europe re-
suit in international disarmament
and universal peace?
Or will it merely serve to impress
upon the minds of the American peo-
pie the hopelessness. Of the undertake
ing and the necessity of preparing for
the next war?
These are the all absorbent ques-
tons of the hour, and no man is wise
enough to answer them.
The world is weary of conflict, but
no nation really trusts another. There
in lies the great danger of future ex-
plosions.
The final result will depend entirely
upon the attitude of the foreign dele
gates when they arrive in Washington
in response to the presidents invita-
ton.
Ii they come to US with the ex-
pectation and willingness to give and
take in sincere effort to arrive at
a just and equitable status of inter-
national relations, then we may hope
for peace and eventual disarmament.
But if they come as they went to
the peace conference in Paris, deter
mined to wrest every possible adj
vantage for their own respective
governments, regardless of the rights
of other peoples, then We may look
forward TO nothing but an early re-
sumption of the war that has just
ravaged Europe and paralyzed the
commerce of the world.
The peace conference at Paris has
turned out to be something of
farce, except that it is breeder of
distrust, hatred and jealousy, while
the league of nations has ceased to
be much more than al empty name.
There is nothing in the present
situation to prevent future wars.
There is much to stimulate ard fan.
the smouldering embers into flame.
Having seen the folly of a grasping
spirit, through the outcome of the
Paris conference, it is possible and
devoutly to be hoped that England,
France, Italy and Japan will see the
wisdom of applying the golden rule
to their deliberation in Washing
ton, to the end that just, lasting
and binding settlement may, be reach
ed.
Japan may surprise the world by
her spirit of Cancellation and con-
cession, but to do so she must execute
a complete about face and march in
the opposite direction, and unless she
does this there will be no settlement,
no peace, no means of preventing
future wars.
Today Japan is arming herself by
tremendous strides, far beyond the
needs, of country that does not con-
template future aggressive conflict,
and her actions are viewed with
skepticism by many deep thinkers
and profound students Of international
agairs.
It is possible, of course, that the
very environment of Washington, the
cradle of liberty, may exert an ele-
waiting effect upon the delegates to
the coming conference.
But in any event, having taken the
initiative, it is the duty of the govern
ment of the United States to go the
limit in an effort to restore the world
to condition where justice and right
will prevail in international affairs.
Then our own hands, at least, Will
be clean, though we find it necessary
to stain them with the blood OF other
nations in future wars.

TIN ONLY WAY OrT

when tho lower house Of the Legislature ad-
Iourncd last Saturday 1t literally complied with
constitutional requirements ana the terms OF
the concurrent resolution adopted a week pre-.
viously THAT much pending legislation, in
Guiding necessary appropriation bills died with
tho adjournment OF the house was aud Is merely
incidental.
The record shows that the house had passed
tho necessary appropriation bills said bills car
rying ample funds for the conduct ,of tho states
proper business. that the senate increased the
amount some two and hslt r. illion dollars,
and refused to bulge from its position when
The measures went TO conference.
Therefore the responsibility for the failure
Of the appropriation bills In fairly fixed in the
record The wild and impossible threats which
followed the house leaders calling the senate
machines bluff were as silly most Of the
talk that has since been INDUCED In. Tho eighth
legislature has stood legally adjourned since tho
minute tho house adopted the proper motion
last Saturday 1t can no more be reconvened
legally without action by the governor than 1t
could have convened itself legally last summer
without such action. Did It do no. every act
would be tainted by impossible ilogaliy. Any
taxpayer could challenge the validity OF any such
act and have such challenge sustained In the
state courts.
so far from doing anything culpablc tho
house leaders performed n substantial service OF
merit when they called the senate bluff. For
by doing they brought to an acute head u crisis
that has long been approaching. And only by
such action was II possible to so completely join
the issue and ~ intensely focus public atten-
ton on the Vaccinations of the state admins
tration as TO insure adequate relief eventually.
The one legal way out OF the difficulty Is for
a chastencd governor TO rcconvene the lcglsla-
ture In special session for the purpose OF rem
edyng the mischief that he and his time scrv-
for the various institutions and departments can
In that way be provided but they will be only
adequate appropriations and not tho pork

the house to accept. II the house erred Mt all
In tho appropriations It was on the side OF
profligacy and not penury; II change should

passed the house, It should be in the way OF
further reduction rather than an inoreasc
a number OF state institutions should have
been left without a dollar. because they are
worse than useless TO tho proper conduct OF
sbte government. so the plea that the house
appropriations were Inadequate is without "A leg
TO stand on.
II tho machine thinks It rcconvene a.
rump legislature and enact laws let It make the
attempt. The people of the state have endured
much disregard of law, but they will rise In
open rebellion against such a flasrant disregard
of law as that
