The perma- nent headquarters of the new state or ganization which was originated by MT Mckay, 1t is understood, will be in Jackson. It is highly probable that he will be chosen permanent president.

 SAYS ITS UNF AR
Republicans Use Article In At- tempt to Prove Democrats Should Be Defeated to
 Keep South Out Saddle
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age-Herald
 800 Davidson Building

Washington, April 25.-(Special)- The statement carried by the Asso- ciated Press some days ago that in compiling the minority membership of the standing committees of the House, the democrats had put the south in the saddle, and that in the event of demo- cratic success two years hence, the south would have all the important chairmanships, has been denounced as unfair and unseemly py Represents tive Pou of North Carolina.
 T want to say in justice to the As sociated Press" said Mir. Pou, that It is the one instance within my recol- lection wherein that great organization has done what amounts to a palpable injustice to the section from which I come. Frankly, do not understand it.
 The congressional committee of the republican party, preparing for the congressional campaigns two years hence, bounced upon the Associated Press article, and attempted thereby to prove that the north, east and west should defeat democratic candidates In order to keep the south out of the saddle.
 NO COMPLAINT MADE
 MT. Pou explained that there are only 22 members of the party in the House who hail from any other sec ton than the south, and that commit tees are appointed with respect to the time of service of the members. He made the point that no complaint has come from the 22 non-southern demo- crats.
 e MT. Pou concluded his address with an appeal that republicans drop sec tionalism" rallying cry. The people of the south are tired of that issue," he said. We thought that when the Spanish American war was fought we would see an end to sec tional charges and countercharges. But we were mistaken. We thought when the World war came on and our boys were going to the front that oblitera- tion of sectional prejudices would be one compensation for the great sacri- flee. I saw many of these young men in my office during the early days of the war as they were on their wa9 to the front. They challenged my ad- miration. They went with self-sacri- flee, with determination, Ind an utter disregard for consequences. I thought as l looked at the boys there was a look of heaven upon their faces which limners give to the beloved disciple. 7 My own. boy, went and never returned.
 REVIVE SECTIONAL ISSUE {.
 The one compensation l thought I would have, when news came just l3 days before the armistice that I would never see him again, was that, after all, his sacrifice would not be in vain. And yet, MT. Speaker, we saw the whole sectional issue revived in the following election. What sacrifice is it that men

and women of the south must make in order to end this feeling of sectional prejudice between the north and south? What must we do? Tell us, and if pos- sible, we will respond We have ral- lied to the flag. Our boys have done their best. They cheerfully offered their lives. And yet, the sectional is- sue stil Hives.
 When democrats win, the charge is made that the south is in the saddle When an issues fail, our opponents re- vive sectionalism. When in Gods name will the time come when political exigencies will not be such as to re- quire this sectional issue to be raised again. It was used in the last cam- paign. It would seem to be the pur. pose to use it In the next campaign.
 PLEADS FOR UNITY
 Let us. as far as it lies in our pow er, men of the north and south, turn our backs forever upon this issue that has torn our country to pieces in the past. Let us all stand united in the presence of the flag. If we cannot win fairly on economical issues, for Gods sake let the party with better issues win.
 "As an American citizen I pray that the time will soon come when we will hear no more about the north ruling the nation, or the south ruling the nation And after all any appeal to sectional prejudice is an admission of weakness. ,

More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

LIVING WHILE WE LIVE. Andre Tridon, French psyche analyst. says that Americans are being hurried to their graves by corn, beef and cabbage and mince pies. Corn beef and cabbage-born to meet and
 mingle, Predestineds from the earliest day of time To make the true born Yankees palate jingle
 And titilate with ecstasy sublime! Corn beef and cabbage-when the words
 are spoken
 The son of this republic licks his l.p, And never shall he suffer to be broken That classic culinary partnership! We all must die, and who would lift a finger
 To live beyond his time. or who would Upon the stage superfluous to finger Too frail to eat his country's noble dish? What though these twain-partaken of together.
 Our rugged constitutions undermine And prematurely part our vital tether, At least while they are blent we live
 and dine! They scent the air from Tampa to
 Seattle
 From Portland, (Maine) to San Diego
 bay When knives and forks and dishes
 blithely rattle And dinners in the middle of the day. And when they're served, delighted din-
 CTS greet them With grateful cries, and shoutings and
 acclaim And presently they fall upon and eat
 them And hasten forth to larger life and
 fame. Corn beef and cabbage-never shall dis
 quiet Or apprehension stir within my breast, Fen though I know that such a solid
 diet.
 May speed the day take my final
 rest For me, at least these two shall never
 sever For. though I'm in no frantic rush to
 die, I haven't any hope to live forever. Corn beef and cabbage, waiter! Then
 mince pie!
