sTT MUST NOT BE AGAIN"

(from San Francisco Chronlcle.)
An assembiage of 5000 collins,
each containing the remains of one
who was once a lusty American
young man who gave up his life for
his country is enough to move any
man to tears, if he has IN him any
trace of sensibility. 1t is no wonder
that the president was deeply moved
when faced with the spectacle and
spoke from his heart when he ex-
claimed: 1T must not be agaln!'
And yet the five thousand dead
bodies spread before the president
were less than one~tenth of the
Americans who gave up their lives
in the great war and less than one
five thousandth part of the known
dead of all nations Emotion over
powers Us in contemplation of such
awful slaughter and the unspeakable
misery resulting among those who
were left alive. But emotion Is fleet
ing. The activities of the living
quickly displace the thoughts of the
dead. There must be more than
emotion. There must be stern and
abiding resolution that there shall be
no more war, for another such nor
ror as that which we have just
passed through would be the trumpet
of Gabriel sounding the doom of
the race.

The St. Joseph Clinic and Hospital
Association, pursuant to resolutions
adopted by its board of directors on
May 30th, last, has dissolved. Dona-
tions by public-spirited citizens to
the Association have been distributed
among the donors. Cash sdbscrlp-
tions made in the same spirit Will be
returned to the givers, pro rata, as
soon as number of small bills are
received and paid. The subscribers
will probably receive the tull
amounts subscribed.
The following excerpt from the
minutes of the directors meeting OF
May 30th will best indicate the cir
cumstances leading to the dissolution
of the association;
The meeting was called to order by
Mrs. (Dr.) Ballard, president. All
members were present.
Mrs. (Dr.) Ballard made the
statement that the doctors were not
giving the time they should to the
Clinic. In answer, DR.. Lewis made
this statement: ''It has always been
my opinion that there was no neces-
sity for free clinic, as the different
Doctors at the Bay have been doing
this work when they were called
upon to do so. There is, however, a
great need for a hospital for the
treatment of emergency cases."
"Mrs. Dr.) Ballard, president,
after hearing DR.. Lewis statement,
said: eff this be the case, and the
eleemosynary character of the work
is eliminated, | find my services no
longer needed, and to beg to tender
my resignation"
''Dr. Lewis made statement that
in view of the fact that Mrs. Tip
ping and Mrs. (Dr.) Ballard had
rsigned, We discontinue the st. JOS
eph Clinic and Hospital"
'Dr. Rush stated that after we
paid all debts, we should return the
balance of the money to those who
have contributed"
(Signed) A P. SMITH,
Secretary and Treasurer"
A later meeting called at the ad-
vice of our counsel, Mr.. Carl Mar
shall, in order to comply with all le-
gal formalities, authorized DR.. Smith
and myself to take what steps might
be necessary to lquidate the affairs
of the association.
l entered upon this enterprise in
the conviction that a free clinic was
both needed and desired by the Bay.
That understanding was encouraged
by an unanimous expression to the
same effect from the entire medical
profession of the Bay, except DIR.
Rush, who was then absent but ar
terward joined US. These expres-
sions are recorded in the Bay St.
Louis newspapers of January 29th.
The clergy of the city, Mayor Webb,
and other representative citizens,
made kindred expressions then and
later. We were all greatly gratitied

Mr.. Grady Perkins, who has
been attending A. & M. College, and
where he distinguished himself in
more than a single way, returned
home a few days since for the vaca-
ton season and will resume his stud

bilious and a most likable young
man, popular with all who know him.,
and it will be gratifying to learn
that success attended his efforts at

him home again in their midst.

stance, on account of it's stand on the
japanese question, we would resent it
with all the power of the government
If Great Britain would take the part
of that state and recognize it as
separate government so long as it was
held as part of the United States.
It is unquestionably a fact that the
Irish people are dominated by the
priestly power of the Catholics, who
are in fight against the protestant
power Of England, and it is purely a
fight Of their own, and the United
States should play hands off SO long
as Ireland is a part Of the British
nation.
We quote from The New Age maya
zine, as follows: "The whole body OF
the priesthood have turned into cleo
pioneering agents and are employing
for political purposes all the engines
and powers Of their profession. With
such condition Of affairs; the Irish,

RESOLUTION IN CONGRESS TO
RECOGNIZE IRELAND

Yesterday the United States had
under consideration a resolution to
recognize the Irish Republic and a,
prepared address urging the passage
OF this resolution was being made by
Senator LaFollette. The fact that
Senator LaFollete HIMSELF was adyoca-
ting this measure should Of itself be
argument enough against it, in view
OF his attitude all during this coun-
try's participation in the world war.
AS to whether or not Ireland gains
It's freedom as a nation, is a question
in which this country as a nation has
no business to NEEDLE. It is purely
British question and should be left
to that government to settle alone.
Just as surely as this government pas
ses any resolution recognizing the
Irish Republic as a separate nation,
just as surely will we be precipitated
into conflict with England, and the
turmoil of the world will be on again.

 In my constant travels over the state, hear this column highly praised both in the cities and the small country towns, where 1t seems to be read and discussed with much Interest.
 MT. Johnston's article of Sunday, July 3, was most powerful sermon, and is worthy of a place in any ones scrap book. II is due The Age-Herald and Mir. Johnston that they know this splendid work is being appreciated. Very truly, EARLE G. McLIN.

WHEN HENRY FORD GETS BUSY From the New York Herald.
 When Henry Ford makes new car for every 20 seconds of the day it means a production in this country at the rate of three a minute, 1S0 every time the big hand goes around the clock and more than 4,000 be- tween one sunrise and the next It means for the 25 working days of July 100000 cars--can't you see them swarming in the streets and roads!
 This is big business. It is big busi- ness even for this biggest of big business nations. It calls for ma terials and supplies in stupendous magnitude. It calls for workers in massive numbers. It calls for high speed action by all those human en- zines of productivity. And when Henry Ford gets busy his workers give him the high speed action of men on the job.
 An honest. earnest, generous exer- else of Henry Ford labor action throughout American industries. all kinds and varieties. and there would be Henry Ford good timss' all ovsl this country.

v 1' ~ Plight of War Veterans Is a National Disgrace

7N HERE may be differences of
 I opinion regarding a bonus to our World war heroes, but there can be none so far as our disabled veterans are concerned. The gov ernment's first duty is owed to these maimed and diseased soldiers who are dying for lack of proper atten- tion, including tubercular patients and victims of shell shock.
 Farming out" disabled veterans in institutions not under government control and placing them in make shift hospitals leads inevitably to neglect, if not mistreatment. Com mander Robert s. Marx of the Dis abled American Veterans of the World War told a Senate commit tee that "former service men are living today in substantially the same deploraple physical condition as they were when found upon the field of battle"
 Congress has had many urgent matters to consider since the war ended, but when we see how little has actually been accomplished it is shameful that three years after the armistice was signed our dis abled soldiers are still petitioning the government for adequate relief, not so much for financial aid as a chance to win back their health and recover from the wounds they re- ceived in battle.

AN o. HENRY STORY
From the Florida Metropolis.

From the Florida Metropolis.
 The stories of o. Henry are de- lightful because they might come true. His characters are true to life and the circumstances into which he forces them are not Impossible. One can imagine without straining every situation pictured by this greatest of short story writers.
 Yet there are those who Claim that, after all, o. Henry dealt in fiction, who cynically do not take stock of fairy tales in real life.
 In New York city a few days ago a story broke" which 0. Henry in his prime could not surpass. In fact, 1t Is a regular o. Henry story. How ever. this story appeared in the news columns of the great metropolitan dailies. 1t is true.
 Frank Schwartz, struggling young artist, had been notified to va cate the dingy apartment he occupied in a cheap section of the city because he was not able to pay the rent. He was pcnniless and without resource. His father restaurant waiter, and he had severad relations several years ago when the boy announced his intention of being a great artist, "Yon don't want to work-and you'll starve," was the fathers last word. The break followed.
 On the day he was to move the young artist received notification that he had been awarded the Prix do Rome. one of the dreams of every artist. This prize carries with it monetary consideration and study abroad.
 If O. Henry were living today he could weave a bit of romance and humor into this news story and equal any of his masterpieces. Truth is stranger than fiction--and when the two are welded into the same story the result is literature; and this is the reason that the name of o. Henry will live long after many of the straight fiction writers have been forgotten.

Automobile Club "Party,

Tt has been very gratifying to President Davis of the Birmingham Automobile club that there has been such a ready response to the pro- posed entertainment which the club is going to give for the city's depen- dent children" said Mrs. Bertha Coughlan, assistant to Secretary James P. Dobbins of the club
 We have already received about 300 replies. These, of course, are sealed, and we have no idea what the donations are. We asked for any thing from 50 cents to $1, but of course there are no restrictions on giving more, if any of the members want to do so. 1t has afforded the office force quite little amusement sreculating on the amounts con- tained in the envelopes.
 "Mr. Davis would like all the mem- bers to respond as quickly as they conveniently can, as we want to be sure of the amount we are going to have for the entertainment, and then we can announce the date on which the city's dependent children will be the guests of honor of the Automo- bile club"

From Afloat on the Sacred River. by
 A.. Coyle, in Asia Magazine for
 July.
 Of1 HE boat drifted on to smoke
 hlurred spot, which we knew at
 S once for the burning ghat. It was less terrifying in reality than in imagination. As they lay upon the piles of wood built up in the form of raised graves, the bodies of men. and women. in their wrappings of white or of red, looked so statuesqde that the flame and the gray smoke seemed but symbols of a fitting rite of consecration.
 The guide rudely broke in upon our reflections by contemptuously re- marking: "This low-class burning ghat for burning poor who not much wood can buy. Yes. please, here heap to burn. But lower down. show you high class place with many bodies coming all day. Much busi- ness. Also one raised stone place where maharaias burn with the san dalwood. Oh, very costly!"
 At the farther burning ghat, we did not have the privilege of watch- ing a maharaja burn with the san T. .1 aoss h cs- ness" as our guide had promised There were sometimes five or SIX pyres in flames, while bodies. in half dozens, lay about on hurdles, await ing their turn. They had first to be put into the Sacred River for their last holy bath; and they sadly re. posed at any angle on the steps until a man was at liberty to push them into the water and pull them out again with a piece of cord. There they lay, pitifully in doll-like impo- tence. But grandeur overlook them upon the pyre; they were infolded in A winding sheet of flame and cur tained from the rude gaze by curving drifts of blue smoke.
 Suddenly gong-a most power full, insistent gong-smote our ears. A boat was being pushed off the bank quite close to us. It was manned by some eight semi nude Hihdus, one of them sat in the fore part. striking. at slow intervals, the brassy nots. Across the stern lay dead sadhu. uncovered except for large stone bound upon his chest and back, and similar weights at tached to his feet. We watched the boat as it was rowed out to the mid- dle of the river. The priest had been a fine old man, and his figure, in it's chiseled repose, was impressive. The 1 gong said, Gone. gone! gone! gone.' until the boat had reached the mid de of the Ganges; then two of the l rowers carried the dignified old mar
