ADVOCATED BY NEW PACT

The treaty OF Rrest- Iitovsk
was a sequel to the armist'ce
between Germany and Russia

her "A. 1917. following the rise
OF the Bolshevtki 10 power in
Russia. Peace negotiations
were begun between Germany
and Russia in January. 1918,
but the demands OF the Central
Powers were considered excess
I've by Russia. which refused TO
concede them.
The next move by Russia was
20 announce on February 10
that she had withdrawn from
the war without signing n peace
and had ordered immediate de-
mobilization OF the troops on all
fronts This maneuver did not
satisfy the Germans, however.
Declaring the war wAs still on.
they renewed their invasion Il
Russia, brt this was spesdily
cut short by declaration by the
Russian government that II &C
cepted the terms formerly de-
clined and the signing al BreSt-

treaty now superseded.

This treaty was effective, so
far as it's continuing provisions
We're concerned. however. only

that the Powers reserved the

The Columbus dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 19??-1922, 1922-01-29

Women's Clubs, state and city fedora
tions, and the clubs composing them
and church societies to secure as
many registrations as possible and
payment of poll and other taxes on or
before the first of February, registra-
ton without payment of these taxes
being of no value so far as the year
1922 is concerned.
1t has been feared that bills intro
duced in both houses of the legisla-
ture seeking to postpone payment of
damages on taxes will have the effect
of confusing the minds of taxpayers
and prospective voters. The post
ponement of payment of damages for
delinquency in tax payment does not
affect in any way the question of de-
linquency as to poll taxes or other
taxes, all of which must be paid and
receipted for on or before the first
day of February if the citizen expects
to vote during the year 1922.

C.. Of c. Secretary
Organizes EupOra

Mr.. J. r. Manser, the hustling sec
rotary of the Columbus and Lowndes
County Chamber of Commerce, will
go to Eupora tomorrow, and tomOr-
row night will organize a Chamber
of Commerce in that enterprising lit
tie city.
Mr.. Manser long before he was
made secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce in this city, had extensive
experience in this line of endeavor.
His newspaper experience also helped
to fit him for this kind of work,
especially in the publicity and bust
ness ends of the organization. When
he was business manager of the
Times Publishing Company at Green
vile, Miss, he had much valuable
experience along this line, hence his
knowledge of Chamber of Commerce
activities, of publicity and business,
will be helpful to the Eupora people
in getting their organization on
good foundation.
Any town large enough to have
postoftice should have a Chamber of
Commerce. If a man establishes a
store at cross roads in the country,
he and his clerk should do the work
of a Chamber Of Commerce and boost
their locality Don't wait until you
grow to organize a Chamber of Com
merce, but organize a chamber to
help you grow. What the Columbus
and Lowndes County Chamber of
Commerce is doing for Columbus and
Lowndes County, the Eupora Cham
Der of Commerce can do for Eupora
and Webster County, relatively speak
ing.
We congratulate the Eupora peo-
pie on their enterprise, as well as
upon having the wisdom to select our
splendid Chamber Of Commerce as a
pattern for their own.

THE IMPONDERABLES

II was Bismarck who for all his ruthlessness,
most clearly stated the effect which non-physcaI
forces have on human history.
He once summed up the forces which states
man could rely on and accurately gauge-men,
munitions, foodstuffs, animals, time distance,
etc. But he said there are other forces-elusve,
silent relentless, not to be lodged. These ne
called "the imponderables," the factors having
no weight, or at least which men could not weigh.
In this category he placed public opinion, in its
national and world sense.
Bismarck differed from later German war lords
in that he realized the seriousness of these inn
ponderabes in the affairs of nations. He paid
these weightless, ether-like forces the compIi-
ment of placing gigantic physical forces over
against them. Since he could not weigh them,
he took the precaution of placing a high estimate
on them and then trebled that
He feared the roarback from an outraged world.
Consequently when he outraged public opinion
he did it with trepidation and only when he had
stupendous physical odds on his side. He was
not benevolent or idealistic He was simply wise.
1t is precisely because, step by step, an army Of
these "imponderables" is being added to the
peace-keeping equipment of the world that the
progress being made in recent detailed work at
Washington is significant.
It is not that in the future some nation might
disregard
that these scraps of paper representing the
pledged word of nations, if violated become
tremendous burdens upon their vioators Ger
many's course in Belgium, which for time seem
ed justified by military advantages, as matter
of fact released against Germany physical forces
which far offset the benefits from that shortcut
into France. '"The imponderables," in other
words suddenly took on crushing weight.
Similarly, in connection with the present con-
ference, it is obvious that no mere agreement not
to use poison gas will in itself guarantee the dis
continuance of that CHASTITY war weapon. One
or more of the nations, under the strain OF war,
might have no scruples against violating such an
agreement to serve a military end. But the de-
terrng fact would be that disregardng that
pledge would release against the offending nation
"imponderables" such as the U-boat and the Bel
gan incident hurled against Germany.
World opinion is greater factor now than 1t
was during the last war 1t was more potent
in the last war than in the time of Bismarck.
There is every reason to believe that it will be
even more influential in the future
These "imponderabes" with which the Am
erican delegates are helping to buttress the
Quadruple Alliance are not the chief hope for the
future peace of the world. They are, neverthe-
less, certain to be important factors. The very
fact that not even the wisest man can see how
important only adds to their influence.

Women Are Urged
To Pay Poll Tax

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 28.-Mrs. B. F.
Saunders, state president of the Lea

letters to presidents of local leagues
urging intensive campaigns with
house-to-house canvass for the pur-
pose of calling attention of women
who have not already registered and
paid their poll ard other taxes that
unless this is done by Feb. l the right
to vote is lost, as they then become
delinquent, even though the time may
be extended for exemption from dam
ages en- account of this delinquency.
In many of the larger towns of the

not be found feasible, but persistent
effort is being made through the

Call Issued To Tax
Payers OF State

Whereas, the people Of Mississippi
are groaning under the burden of I'M
precedented taxation in our state, and
there is no apparent relief from this
burden; and whereas, there have been
many county organizations and coun-
ty meetings for the purpose Of de-
vising means of alleviating the sit
uation, and many of our best men
have expressed the opinion that there
should be state organization to
counteract the influence at work
through our state to increase rather
than to reduce taxes; now, therefore,
acting under suggestions coming from
different parts of the state, and in
obedience to the request of the peo-
pie Of the counties represented by us,
a meeting of the tax payers is hereby
called to be held in the city of Jack
son on February 7th, 1922, at ten
o'clock a. m. for the purpose of or
ganizing a State Tax Payers Lea
que; and to take such actions in re-
gard to the financial situation of the
state and the various counties there
in as the people in this meeting as
sembled may determine.
The tax payers of every county in
the state are requested to send
delegates to this meeting.
All persons who intend to take part
in this meeting will please notify R.

fine birds and can see wonderful pos
