GREAT PICTURES
AT THE PRINCESS
Manager KuykendalI Deserves
Praise For Running The Best
Pictures 0btainable.

In reading the daily papers through
out the country, during the past
week, our attention has been called
to the motion picture industry and
the productions which they are giving
the public at this time.
The people Of Columbus are for
tunate in having the opportunity of
seeing fine pictures from time to
time at our local theater, and special
mention should be made Of the pro-
ductions which have been shown at
the Princess during the past week.
They have been good, clean stories,
well payed, and the efficient manager
should get the praise he so justly
deserves. Your attention is called to
the program of this week, It is sure
to be good.

GOING SOME

Theodore G. Bilbo, in referring to
the Birkhead suit against Governor
Russell, says:
"Mr. Russell has brought my name
into this mess, and | will assure the
people of Mississippi that | am going
to TELL THE TRUTH"
We will breathlessly await the out
come. If Lee Russell is able, Gin any
way, to make Bilbo tell the truth,
then said Russell is the eighth wonder
of the world. Instead of having to
pay out one hundred thousand dollars
in damage suit, a towering monu-
mont should be erected to his mem
ory 'rra
When Bilbo tells the truth, Good
night Annanias Club.

WET OR DRY

The retiring Governor of West Nir-
ginia is asking for a constitutional
amendment in his State which would
bar from public office those whom the
executive designate as politically
dry, but personally wet" He would
require every official 70 make oath
that he had not and would not violate
the Eighteenth Amendment. If an
official could not support the Constitu-
ton Of his country down to the last
syllable he should not be considered
competent for public service. Gov.
Davis has no patience with legislators
who vote laws to enforce the amend
ment and then indulge IN the secret
practice Of homc-bIeWing.

WAKES HANDSOME PORTRAIT

One Of the most exquisite pieces OF
art work we have ever seen land We
say this after having spent many
hours in the Corcoran Gallery Of Art
in Washington City, is the portrait
Of Hon. Melville Rosyn Grant, Of Mer-
idian. just completed By Mr.. William
.Steene. our local artist. Mr.. Steene
has made what truly may be called
"a speaking likeness Of the celebrat-
ed Masonic author and lecturer. Il
Is our candid opinion that no painter
whether ancient OF modern. could
make a more faithful likeness Of Mr..
Grant than the portrait just finished
By Mr. Stcene In has studio here.

HOUSING THE PEOPLE

Prominent financers and philanthro-
pists of New York are backing a
$l00,0O0,000 housing program for the
big city. They are to build or create
apartments for $4,000 families and
these will be rented to all tenants at
the average rental of So "A month for
each room. The big city is said to
be short nearly 100000 homes and
this program would ease the situation.
The reduced rentals would be es-
pecially attractive to people who are
now paying SIS a month for quarters
that once went for $50. II is the
poorer and middle classes that suffer
most in the housing shortage.

THE SPANKED BRIDE

A New York judge in annulling the
marriage Of an under-aged bride stip-
ulated that she should be spanked by
her parents. The jurist said that the
custom Of young girls marrying at
first sight and lying about their ages
in order to obtain licenses must cease.
1t would be splendid if this Solomon
had larger jurisdiction, but there are
"a lot Of happers rushing into uncon-
sidered matrimony who are beyond
the pale Of his court. There is no
chance Of spanking them all.

BY request of the principal, Doctor
Mckinley, president Of the local board

the necessity for vaccination against
that dreaded infection, smallpox. In

Of the need for vaccine, Of its ac-
cidental discovery and Of our present
safe and pure source Of supply, sleek
herds Of well-tested Jersey cows. The
talk was very interesting and enhght-

doubts in the minds of his hearers as
to the wisdom of vaccination.
