IRISH FREEDOM
MAY BREAK UP
BRITISH EMP IKE
John Bull Besieged on All
Sides by Demands for
Liberty.

LONDON, March 2-The eyes Of Great
Britain are on Ireland. Ireland's sue
cess or failure as a free state may be a
determining fatcor in the disintegratlon
Il British rule
<SLloyd George and British statesmen
IRE beset on all sides with demands for
greater freedom.
The creation OF the Irish Free State
has given impetus to demands, which
II granted would threaten the strength
Of British rule in almost every quarter
Of the globe.
India, Britain's most wealthy Far East
possession, is in the thrOes of a precipi-
tant revolution with freedom as the OBJ
jecdve, and the Indian problem is I'M
dOubtedly the knOttiest problem Lloyd
George has on his hands, with the ex-
ception Of the final settlement of the
Irish question and his domestic political
difficulties.
Egypt, a prOtectOrate Of Great Britain.
Is demanding wider liberties, and the
Egyptian question is one which is most
vexatieus, and it is whispered in politi-
cal circles that this problem has threat
ened cabinet riffs.
ScctlaTd has at times been mentioned
as the source Of a possible demand for
greater independence, although there Is
at the present time no indication that the
Scottish people will arouse themselves to
any serious demands; nevertheless, it is
rumOred that some of those who inhabit
the northern half OF the main British Isle
are growing FESTIVE.
In the Rand striking miners have
voiced their desire for the creation OF a
free state.
The people Of the little Isle Of sark
have gone ahead and established a gov
eminent OF their own without consulting
either Lloyd George or King George. The
|aRpulation Of this tiny isle is not ex-
.SBtnsivs, but the spirit displayed there
must he annoying to those statesmen who
are striving to maintain British rule
In South Africa the movement for in
dependence Is reported to be growing.
With his difficulties constantly mount
ing. Lloyd George faces this new spirit
with apparent calmness, for It is but a
part and fabric Of the political situation
which viii undoubtedly force him before
the psople in a general election.
NSisc the spirit Of independence grows
Throughout Great Britain it is rumored
political enemies OF the Prime Minister
are perhaps encouraging the movement
as one method OF increasing the burdens
Of the leader they are seeking to unseat
Stanch supporters Of British rule
argue that many Of those who are now
demanding a greater voice in their gov
eminent are given the widest liberties
their capabilities will permit. In discus
sion Of the subject with American citi-
gems they always point to the Philip
pines as & f1> example OF q suppressed
people.

AS IMPORTANT
SHIPPING PORT
Campaign Opened to Bring
Back Prestige Of Former
d DAYS.

BOSTON. March "A campaign to
make Boston the most important port
In the United States has been begun by
Mayor James NJ Curley. who recently
took Office for the second time as the
City's chief executive.
Mayor Curley has appealed directly
to the business men Of New England for
support IN this project, but he also points
out BOston's advantages to shippers and
travellers in other parts Of the country
IN the following signed statement the
mayor gives some OF the reasons why he
believes Boston should become Amer
ica's leading seaport:
THE rehabilitation Of the Port OF Bos-
ton and the restoration OF its former do
minance IN the trade and commerce Of
the United States are OF first importance
10 the Industrial and economic welfare OF
Massachusetts and New England: they
constitute s serious duty for the mayor Of
Boston and a labor TO which every eco
nOmic factor Of the New England com
munity should lend its heartiest assist
ance. This is not only good business,
but the highest form OF practical pa
triotism and useful Americanism.
NEAREST To
EUROPE"
Boston Is twenty-four hours nearer to
Americas greatest market. Europe, than
any other American seaport, a supreme
~ important factor in competitive trans
Atlantic transportation OF passengers and
cargoes, since It cOnnOtes the saving Of
time and money for passengers. shippers
and steamship service and eliminates
one days sea hazards to vessels and car
goes on every trip and, by that lessen
Ag Of risk, a proportinnate reduction Of
zftarine insurance.
ITO secure this important saving Of
time and expense in transportation
American railroads have spent hundreds
Of millions OF dollars in reducing grades
and improving rolling stock and facil-
tiles to enable them to give rapid serv-
Zee. The Atlantic Ocean has no trsckage
or grades TO concern those who use # /;
the prime Atlantic problem in this age
ls-tm6.
TIME rs
IMPORTANT"
Time is the most important factor in
the victories Of war and peace. The abil-
ity to deliver men and goods at a given
poir+ or in a given market in the quick
est .4ne spells success land BOstOn's I'M
equalled geographical and tactically COM
mercial position and her unquesticned
ability to serve America and Europe are
too important to be longer ignored by
the industrial, agrarian and economic
forces of America in a competitive world.

from fog and ice, the natural outlet for
the harvests and products of half con-
tinent, the immediate door OF outlet for

WRITER'S CLASH
IN DEBATE ON
RUM QUESTION
ChestertOn and Shaw Hold
Entirely Different
Opinions.

LONDON, March Beer is the bone of
contention in battle Of words raging
between George Bernard Shaw and G. X.
Chesterton in the British press.
ION the whole 1 am a pro-Pussyfoot,"
declared George Bernard Shaw on being
queried as to whether he opposed pro-
hibiton. IF a natural choice between
drunkenness and sObriety were possible
in our civilization, l should leave the
people free to choose. But when / see
IN enormous capitalist organization push
ing drink undsr peoples noses at every
corper and pocketing the price whilst
leaving me and others to pay the cOlos
sal damages then l am prepared to smash
that organization and make 1t as easy
for poor man to be sober If he wants
to as 1t is for his dog"
This statement caused G. X. Ches-
tertOn to rise in his wrath. What MT.
Shaw has to say is exactly typical of
the whole blunder about those things"
retorted Chesterton. He actually men
tions the truth and then misses It.
1.-THE evils from which people suffer
spring from the fundamental evil that
property. which should be normal to
the ordinary citizen, has become some
thing which few people possess and
most people don't.
when peoples brains are tired as they
are now, it is very much easier to look
at the symptoms than at the cause They
say therefore, that If we abolish the
public house lot of those evils would
not occur; just as when the evil has be-
/ come so bad that people go out, as they
/ soon may, with bricks and stones and
! kill other people. 1t may be said that II
we were to abolish bricks and tsones
there would be no riots.
"When people are not in the mood for
going to the roots of things they then
exclaim: Cut off all these ugly branch
~s.'
For that matter It would be easy
enough to represent that the capitalist
Is MOI all on the side Of beer.
ut il perfectly indcfensible that they
should be in judicial positions at all
In the matter Of licensing hours"
! While this merry little war goes on
between two distinguished gentlemen Of
Britain's literary set. the buxom bar
maids continue to pour the amber fluid.

Jackson--T. NJ. Henry, insurance

V. Robertson, state revenue agent, an
additional sum of $4,000. This with
the amount of s15,7OO previously paid
aggregates approximately $4,000 paid

approximately $4,000 due to the State.
Included in this settlement is the $10,-

WoMENs INTEREST
POLITICS INCREASES
I'm Registration Ordered in Kinds coun
ty the Woman Are Coming
Out Faster Than Men.

Jackson.-Women who are eligible
to vote, or who will be after registra-
ton. are taking much more interest in
the question of qualifying themselves
this year than they did before. Here
in Jackson and Kinds County, where
a new registration was ordered for
both the city. and county, the women
are coming forward faster than the
men. This is especially true in the
city. Reports from other parts Of the
state indicate that women in the cities
are showing more interest than those
in the rural districts. This is probably
due to the direct influence of womens
organizations in the cities. which are
active in urging women not to shirk
this important civic duty.
While it is only necessary to be reg
istered four months before the general
election in November, experince has
shown that delay is dangerous, and
those who procrastinate viii find
themselves at the last minute just
day or so too late to get on the books
in time
Every county registrar will soon ad-
registration books to each precinct in
the county, giving notice Of the date
in the precinct to register all who
have not had opportunity to visit the
county seat This must be done in
time for the registrar to reach every
precinct at least four months before
the election in November.
After the registrations close for the
general election, the pool books will be
made up and the county commission
ers viii meet to Gull out all persons
who have not paid poll and other taxes
or who may be found to be disqualified
from any other cause.
In the primary elections it is not
necessary to be registered four months
before the primary; but those regis
tered and qualified to vote in the gen.
eral election will be entitled 10 vote in
the primaries.

Sl,OOO,OOO.OO FOR
FLOOD CONTROL
RESOLUTION RUSHED THROUGH
SENATE AND HOUSE WITHIN
HOUR AFTER PROPOSED.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELIEF
100000 Carried in Army Bill To Be
Handled by Mississippi River Com
Mission Not Available Until July
Twill Relieve Situation.

! WashingtOn.-The sum of one mil
lion dollars for control of flood waters
of the Mississippi river, now at the
highest stage in years. was made avail
| able by a resolution rushed through
| through the Senate and House within
an hour after the proposal made by
southern members had been approved
by Secretary Weeks and Director Daw
es of the budget.
In presenting the resolution, chair
man Madden of the appropriations
committee explained that nearly ST.
100000 was carried in the pending
army bill TO be handled by the Missis-
sippi river commission under the flood
control. This fund would not be avail
able until after July l, but Mr. Madden
declared an emergency existed and
that without immediate help there was
danger of tremendous loss of life and
property damage, for otherwise the
flood waters might overrun the leYees
and extend to the Valley.
Secretary Weeks, in a letter 10 con
gress, urging the immediate cOnsidera-
ton of the relief resolution, said the
flood stage was extreme, and that the
water was higher at places than ever
known before that along stretches of
20 miles it was above the levees.
The loss of life, should the Ievees
be unable to stand the strain much
longer, and break, would be incalcul-
able and would result in a great nation
al disaster, Secretary Weeks said.
Chairman Madden said the resolu-
ton made no drain upon the federal
treasury, as it merely authorized the
use at this time of part of the APP
soon to be available, and
would be deducted later from the bills
total
Good Roadway has been made, he de-
clared, in constructing levees so as
to prevent flood disasters.
