EDUCATOR SAYS
HE CAN PROVE
BOY NOT HIS
NOTRE DAME LAW INSTRUCTOR
OBTAINS WARRANT AGAINST
CLOTHING MERCHANT.

South Bend, Ind, Sept. 6.-Prof.
John T. Tieran, instructor in the law
department at the University of Notre
Dame, was ready today TO present
proof of his charge that Henry Pou-
lin, local clothing merchant, is the
father of Mrs. Tiernan's infant SON,
born last November. Prof. Herman
obtained a warrant for the merchants
arrest Saturday and a hearing has
been arranged for today. Whether
Poulin will waive hearing apparently
had not been determined.
While Prof. Herman declared he
was ready to substantiate his charges,
Poulin did not reveal what steps he
had contemplated. limitations came
from the professor that if the defense
does not waive a hearing sensational
evidence will be disclosed and Mrs.
Tiernan will be the chief witness.
That the professors charges are the
aftermath Of a blackmail plot which
failed is the contention of Poulin,
while the instructor declares that his
fight is for the integrity and morality
of the home.
The disclosures of his wife's al
legged romance, according to Prof
Tiernan, resulted from a slight by
Poulin to Mrs. Tiernan at church one
Sunday after the birth of the baby,
now nine months old.
at was in February of last year
that my wife began to keep
clandestine company with Poulin. she
told me in her confession" Prof.
Herman declared. From this point
on it is the old story Of the unsophis-
ticated girl from the little town who
couldn't resist the lure of the charm
ing young dandy Of the city,.
"My wife would leave her home
and the youngsters as often as three
nights a week. She said she was

more tightly drawn in the future than
ever before in the past.
Now is the time to start your or
ganization. Every community should
have its political organization. They
should hold regular weekly meetings
and study questions which concern
them and their interests. They should
invite speakers to visit their meetings
and address them on vital questions,

There are two distinct parties in
Mississippi, both of which claim the
name Democratic. The two parties
are pretty evenly divided. One is the
Hamiltonian and the other is the
Jeffersonian. They differ as to the
meaning of the word Democracy.
The Eagle contends that the Jeffer-
sonian Democracy as taught by
Thomas Jefferson is the only genuine,
true Democracy 1t will be our pur-
pose to inform our readers and keep
them posted on all matters pertaining
to the interest of the common people,
of what our enemies
think. We call upon the people of La
gazette county to rally to the sup
port Of the Eagle while it is yet
alive and active. 1t is your duty to
support the organ that is fighting your
battle-fghting for your interest and
for the interest of future generations.
Read the Eagle and see that your
friends read it, keep yourselves post
ed as to meetings, organizations and
of that branch of the
democratic party which cherish
principles not of your liking.
What has been done cannot be un-
done, but there will be another day.
Next year there will be lots of cleo
tons Held, and you will want to vote,
so if you have not registered, go at
the very first opportunity and regist-
er. This fall pay your poll tax, men
and women, and be ready when the
time comes to go to the polls and vote
for the candidate of your choice. Let's
have a free country where every white
man or white woman can go to the
polls and vote without being question
ed like bunch of negro slaves.

State of Mississippi,
County of Lafayette.
This day came on for consideration
the matter of pretermitting OF. the
regular September, 1922 term of the
Circuit Court of Lafayette County,
Mississippi, and the Court having
heard and considered petition
signed by all members of the Bar of
said County, together with the
County Officials, praying that said
term Of Court be pretermitted, and
the Court having found that there is
not now sufficient business on the
docket to justify the holding of said
Court and that it will be to the best
interests of the County that same
be pretermitted, it is therefore order
ed and adjudged that the regular
September 1922 term of the Circuit
Court of said Lafayette County, be
pretermitted and not held.
Ordered and adjudged in vacation
this the 23rd day of August, 1922.
JOHN w. T. FALKNER, Judge.

THE SECOND PRIMARY.

The second primary which was held
Tuesday throughout the State of Mis-
sissippi, mainly to elect a United
States Senator, and Judges, in some
of the districts, will go down in history
as the close of one of the bitterest
political campaigns in the history of
the State.
Senator James K. Vardaman was
defeated. Hubert Stephens has been
nominated.
The election machinery was in the
hands of the Seventies, the banks,
as rule, the corporations and money
power were all behind Stephens. The
common people were relied upon to
support Vardaman, but the filtering
process used in the second primary
at many voting precincts, not all of
them, had its effect, and no doubt
kept some honest but less intelligent
voter from attempting to cast his or
her vote.
1t was the strong against the weak,
organized capital against unorganized
labor.
AS to Hubert Stephens, the second
district tried him out for ten years as
their representative in Congress, and
if he ever accomplished anything
worth while, we have yet to learn of
IL.
Vardaman was the peoples candi-
date and represented the tillers of the
soil, the horny-hand of toll, and was
backed by record which every Mis-
sissippian should feel proud of.
The Eagle believes that mistake
has been made in the election of
Mr.. Stephens which will rebound not
to the best interest of the State.
His election means more than
merely sending Stephens to the Sen
ate. 1t means the kindling of a feel
ing which will not be downed; ii
means that organizations will be
formed among the toilers of Missis-
sippi for the purpose of protecting
their interests in future elections. 1t
will mean that the good women Of
the country will register and vote
just like the town women did in
Tuesdays election.
The election of Mr.. Stephens does
not necessarily mean the slast fact
ionalism" in Mississippi, but it will
mean That fractional lines will be

New Way to Help
War Vets Planned
Move Started in Ohio Ex.
pected to Extend to Every
State in Union.

Washington, Sept 25.--One Of the
most important steps undertaken by
thee United States veterans bureau
to improve the condition Of ex.serv.
iee men has been started In Ohio, up
on the recommendation OF the federal
board OF hospitarzation, OF which
Gen. Sawyer is chief co-ordinator, and
soon will be extended to every sec.
ton Of the country.
Details OF the scheme were an.
nounced by C. Hamilton Cook, ma
tional commander of the Disabled
War Veterans of the World War, fol-
lowing a conference with government
officials. Briefly, the plan provides
for a survey of every patient to de.
termine:
What cases can best be treated by
allowing them to enjoy the normal
environment OF their homes, and
sending all such to their homes
without any reduction in the compen.
sation allowed by the government.
What changes in treatment or hos.
pitals are desirable for those patients
whose ailments best can be treated in
a hospital.
How the medical attention for all
permanent patients can be improved
so that the most scientific and sym.
pathetic treatment can be given every
one with the aim of bringing about ul.
innate recovery.
Brig. Gen. Charles +. Sawyer chair
man Of the federal disqualification
board, and Col. Charles r. Forbes.
director of the veterans bureau, both
are in hearty accord with the plan
and it also has the approval of Presi-
dent Harding.
