CURB DOPE TRAFFIC,
CHURCHMAN' PLEA
EPISCOPALIAN ARGUES THAT AN
INTERNATIONAL CONFER
ENCE BE HELD.
HAGUE PROTOCOL IS CITED
Seattle Clergyman Declares That the
Nation Has Between One and Two
Million Narcotics at the
Present Time.

Portland, Ore.-An International
conference for the control of the mar
cotic traffic is asked for by a reso-
luton adopted by the house of depu-
ties of the Protestant Episcopal
Church in general convention here.
The resolution, which was intro
duced by Rev. w. H. Bliss of Seattle,
provided for the appointment of
committee of one bishop, one presby-
ter and one layman to call on Secre-
tary of State Hughes to ask him to
take steps to make effective the pro-
visions OF a protocol adopted by the
conference at The Hague in 1914. Rev.
Bliss addressed the house, describing
the extent of the drug traffic, declared
that narcotics were much greater
menace than liquor ever was. He said
there were between 100000 and
100000 drug addicts in the United
States.
Religious instruction of public
school children under system where
by the children might be given such
training as part of the regular school
time under teachers of any denomina-
tion the parents may designate is
asked in a resolution adopted today

George Weld of Santa Barbara, Cal
A motion for its immediate considera.
tion was lost and it will be placed
on the calendar
The house of bishops found itself
in an awkward position, according to
Bishop W. C. Brown, chairman, who
called attention to the fact that par
liamentary practice had been violated
in asking the house of deputies to ap
point a committee of conference on
the constitutional amendment provid'
ing for vote in the house of bishops
by suffragan bishops, as the deputies
had not approved the amendment.
Bishop W. T. Manning of New York
moved that the message be recalled
and this was adopted.
Rev. w. H. Van Allen of Boston
presented resolution expressing SYM
pathy for Christian people in Smyrna
who have come under Turkish rule
1t was put on the calendar.
The movement for greater recog'
milton of women in the church which
has already resulted in a report by a
joint commi ssion favOring admission
Of women to the house of deputies,
brought about the adoption by the
house of deputies in the general con-
vention of an amendment to canon
which will make it possible to license
women as lay leaders.
Under this new rule it will be pos
sble for women to read certain por-
tions of the services of the church
where no male clergyman is available
Or they may assist clergymen. Wom'
Ell, however, will not be permitted to
administer the sacraments of the
church

the constitutional amendment SUD-

There are two of these amendments,
one is to take the trunk lines of high.

of the 50 counties and put them un-
der the Jurisdiction of the State High
way Commission, in order that Mis-
sissippi may share in appropriations

and the other is to abolish the offer Of
county treasurer in the 50 counties of
Mississippi. Indications are that both
amendments will be ratified.

COL. GEORGE TOMBSTONE

We publish from the Observer the
resolutions adopted by the bar asso-
citation on Col. George Johnstone as
written by DR.. Cromer. The copy was
not given US by the author and there
fore we could not print the article
earlier. 1t is fair anG true tribute
to one of the great minds of the state.
There is no doubt in the mind of any
ore who knew Col. Johnstone as to MS
great ability.
He had his faults and who of US IS
free from fault? He said to US on
one occasion when we were together
and he was in one Of his fine conVer-
sational moods, and he was the most
entertaining conversationalist we ever
knew, that he could not understand
it. but somehow the people of South
Carolina gave him credit for more
brain thai he had and for less heart,
and it seemed to US that he said 1t
with a tinge of sadness in his voice.
And having known him quite well Tor
many years we believe that what he
said was true as to the heart, though
his intellect was not overestimated.

Whatever the government might q

Whatever the government might do
toward making it easier for the farm
er financially, the farmer can get very
little benefit of any situation that
might be created without the expen-
diture of energy and intelligence on
his part. That should be accepted as
a fact. But that the government did
make things more attractive for the
farmer during the years 1918 and
1919, none but fool will dispute, and
Just. as certainly as the inflated condi-
ton that existed during 1918 and
1919 was the result of government
efforts to stimulate agricultural pro-
duction, the subsequent period of de-
preston has been caused by opposite
government action. In the first place
the financial interests sought to pro-
vide an abundance of food and cloth
ing for the army and the people. That
having been accomplished it was nee
essary to withdraw such financial
power as remained in the hands OF the
farmers lest the farmers become too
independent of the financial interests.

Senator Dial is right in opposing
the tax of putting a stamp or stamps
on checks. We had that nuisance
once and we hope it will not come
now. The people are gettig little
shy about putting their money in
banks anyway, and we do not think it
wise to annoy them with the stamps
on checks. What we need is to en-
courage those who have money to
place it in the banks so as to keep it
in circulation. 1t seems that we are
to have the tax on soft drinks and
cigars and by the state just as soon
as it is taken off by the federal gov
ernment. The truth is We are too
much governed and therefore too
much taxed.

ing interests and we never could un-
derstand why even the money power
would undertake that sort Of thing
because when the farmer is depressed
all business is more or less affected.
But It al comes back at last to the
farmer himself and he can not expect
to get relief from the government or
from legislation so long as ne con-
tinues his present plan of doing BUS
less and while we would not be under
stood as saying that the farmer has
not been hurt more than any other
vet it is largely his own fault. When
the going was good he went too fast
lust like good man others did and
when the selling was good too many
held on to what they had hoping that
it would be even better. Just to take
our own county and we believe that
it is in better condition than great
may and yet if the cotton that IS no"
held in warehouses and money bor-
rcwed on it had been sold when 1t
could have been for thirty to forty
cents and the money applied to the
liquidation of the debts this county
would have been as prosperous ana
the people as happy as money could
make them. But if it were sold now
many of the farmers would go broke
and some of the banks would feel the
pinch. Too many of us held cotton
and borrowed money when the cotton
would have paid the debt and that
same cotton at present prices Will not
pay fifty cents on the dollar. But the
farmer who owns his cotton or other
produce can sell or not sell as to him
NAV seem best but if he has spent the
money before he makes the cotton or
other produce, it is really not his and
he has no control Of it. The only
thing that will make the farmer OF
this section of the country independ-
ent is to grow what he needs on his
farm to feed himself and the people
and the animals that are on the farm
and then all the cotton he can and
he will be able to sit back and laugh
at gamblers and spectators and every
one else.
