utterances are always aglow with
eloquence and earnestress, praised
the men for what they had already
accomplished and urged them to press
forward to the attainment of even
greater things for the Master.
AT this juncture, upon the sugges-
ton Of Mr.. c. NJ. Reeves, the ladies
who had prepared the bounteous feast
were invited into the banquet hall
to be publicly thanked by Doctor Ell
lis for the part they played in the
enjoyable affair.
Mr. c. F. Sherrod, one of the char
ter members of the Baraca Glass,
made an earnest and an appreciated
talk. He expressed gratitude for
what had already been done, and told
the men to let the good work go on,
Messrs. Egger, Dowdle, lnglebert
and Ferguson then sang Softly and
Tenderly,' after which Mr.. J. 7.
Clardy, of Central Methodist Church,
was called upon for a speech. Mr..
Clardy responded and made a few
earnest remarks about the import
ance of the men working in the Sun
day Schools and helping to scatter
the light.
Mr. A. H. Pegues. Sr., superintend-
cnt of the First Methodist Sunday
School, commended the work Of the
Mems Baraca Class and told what an
inspiration it was to him to see them
from Sunday to Sunday studying the
word of God.
Mr. Joseph B. Love expressed
pleasure at seeing so many good cit
liens present, and said he hoped

Slowly but surely the world is working up
ward to the true ideal of a neighborhood Of
nations-an orderly community, where each
nation and where, nevertheless, the heads of
the various families shall join together to
prevent any breach Of the peace likely to
ieopardize the general harmony.
For the realization of this practical ideal
President Harding has already paved the
way, and he would be rash reactonary, in
the face of general popular approval of the
Presidents stand, TO attempt to block this
mighty forward movement
Auspicious as the start has been however,
the goal is still long way from attainment
The first rays of the new dawn are breaking
over the Pacific, where intelligent and pro-
gressive nations have at last come together
in open forum to adjust past disputes and to
remove causes for future friction
But beyond the Pacific, beyond Japan, be-
yond China, stretching across continent to
the borders Of Mittel Europe. lie thousands
of miles of disorganzed and msgoverned
territory which, excluded from the new or
der in international affairs, render recon
struction and rehabilitation still incomplete
and charged with hidden danger.
Unfortunately, too, for the peaceful joining
together of the worlds many broken high
ways there is at present no means of bridging
this vast chasm of mystery and menace. Yet
it represents one-eghth of the worlds total
land surface and the potential energy of
150,000,000 man power
In solving the international equation Rus
STA is the unknown factor, and while Russia
remains an uncertain quality no world pacl-
fcaton can be permanent. 1t is impossible
either to disregard or to deal with the pres
ent conglomeration known by courtesy as
Russia
This Russia cannot be ignored because she
is too vast in extent and too requisite to the
general scheme of world encohomics No
nation, on the other hand, can have dealings
with her because she has no responsible head
on whose pledged word the most unsophisti-
Gated would care to place reliance.
About this chaotic interregnum one thing
only is certain. An eighth of the worlds land
surface cannot be politically erased from the
map nor can 10000 900 people be diplomat
ically exterminated Underneath the pres
ent anarchy is a real Russia that some day
will rise again. But how soon that resurrec-
ton will come to pass and what form the
newborn Russia will take and how the new
born Russia will receive plans formulated by
live nations of today, whether it will be a
warike or peaceful Russia, whether it will
evolve a Moses or an Alexander to lead it to
the promised land, whether its complexion
will be occidental or oriental, autocratic or
democratic, whether it will press forward
with the restless energy of the American or

there would be many other similar
occasions.
President Hull told how glad he
was to have the men present, said
they were welcome in every sense of
the word, and thanked the commit
tees and the speakers for the part
they Individually and collectively
played in making the banquet a sue
cess.
After a hymn had been sung by
all, a prayer Of thanksgiving and
benediction was offered by the Rev.
A. T. McIlwain, and the happy oc-
casion was at an end. The men
shook hands all around, said they
had had a grand time and separated,
each man to go to his place of abode.
1t was a period of good feeling and
good fellowship, two and one-half
hours spent in sowing seeds that are
sure to produce a harvest of blessings
in our community. There were no
long faces around the festal board,
no groans or means by pessimists,
but instead happy faces rejecting
bright hopes for the future, and
words of encouragement to brightly
illuminate the pilgrims path.
All honor to the men who planned
the affair, and all honor to the ladies
who helped them execute their plans.
An impetus has been gained that, we
hope. will send the membership of
the class to the 200 mark before the
trees in our yards are again dotted
with fragrant and beautiful mag
nolias.

Mrs. Freddie Payne
Is Called By Death

One of the most noble women OF
our county, Mrs. Freddie Payne, has
passed over the river to reap a richly
deserved reward for life faithfully
and consistently devoted to the SER
vice of the King.
Mrs. Payne, who was in the seven
tieth year of her life, fell asleep at
the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Clough Randall, at Crawford, on
Thursday. It was that dreamless
slumber from which a sanity man or
woman is awakened by the angels in
heaven.
The cause Of Mrs. Payne's demise
was paralysis. She was a sister of
Mr.. William Barksdale, of Lowndes
county, and Of Hon. P. C. Barksdale,
of Milwaukee, Wis. She was the
widow of Mr.. Wood Payne, who pass
ed away about ten years ago.
For many years, Mrs. Payne was
a consecrated member of the Cumber-
land Presbyterian Church at Beer
sheba, about ten miles from Column
bus. She was buried in the
church-yard there, Friday, after fun
eral services by the Rev. Mr.. Owens.
A large number of sorrowing rel
atives and friends attended the fun
eral
The pall-bearers were Messrs. Will
liam Hurd, Robert Miller, Thomas
Hall, Frank Blasingame, R. H. Dow
die and Light Ellis.

with the history of this college. For
the law as finally passed, much credit
should be given to Mrs. Hastings. 1t
seems, therefore, eminently appro-
pirate that these two noble women be
jointly honored and that on these
grounds buildings bearing their names
shall perpetually commemorate their
devoted service to the womanhood Of
the state.
Arguments for endorsement of
these names by the board we shall
not offer, knowing that Mrs. Peyton
and Mrs. Hastings and their services
in connection with the founding of
this college are inseparably connected
and gratefully remembered by all
friends of education in Mississippi.
Living contributors to the realization
of the splendid ideal, embodied and
unfolding in this college, it should be
stated, were not considered in the
resolution adopted by the faculty.
This brief memorabilia length of
it by no means a measure of the in
terest taken in tive close with the
hope again expressed that at their
earliest convenience the trustees will
see fit to approve and ratify the sug-
gestions Of the faculty.

Mr.. Hogan Duncan
Injured In Fall

The Dispatch regrets to learn of a
serious accident that befell Mr. Hogan
Duncan on Thursday night. Mr.. Dun
can had been to a meeting of the
Woodmen, and, while descending the
stairway, slipped in the darkness and
fell about half the distance from the
top to the bottom of the flight. He
struck the pavement on one of his
knees and painfully injured the knee
cap. Friends carried him to his home
and physician was summoned, who
dressed the limb.
Mr. Duncan is resting comfortably,
and his friends and loved ones are
doing all they can to keep him from
getting restless. 1t will probably be
a month before he is able to bear his
weight on the injured knee.

The Republicans are having trouble
raising campaign funds. The business
man who has no money to put into
his own business is a poor subject
for the campaign solicitor, There is
little relief from the necessarily high
war taxes, which the Republicans all
voted for but which they are unable,
for some reason, to lessen appreci-
ably. Freight rates remain very high
and trade languishes, while Congress
fritters away its time trying to en-
act an anti-lynchng bill to eoddle the
negro voter, though the best Con-
stitutional lawyers on the Republican
side admit that the Supreme Court
will make short work of the law when
it finally gets to them, for it is
absolutely subversive Of that provis-
ion of the organic law which gives
the police powers to the States. The
men who have furnished campaign
funds in the past are getting poor
return for their money and are sit
ting as judges Of a Congress that
satisfies nobody. It's failures can not
be hidden, for they are visible in
stunted industry, low prices for farm
products and millions unemployed.
And the soldier vote is up in arms.

While Senator Penrose carefully
provided in his will that there should
be no inventory or accounting made
of his estate, he overlooked an item
of $4,000 in cash which he had in
a safe deposit box in Washington,
partly in ten-thousand-dollar bills
mere loose change saved from his
salary. Everyone recalls that at the
time of Chicago Convention Of 1920
he was very i'll. Now his physician
comes forward and tells how the big
boss was unconscious for hours, then
came to himself and asked what was
going on at the Convention Upon
his secretary informing him that the
Convention was deadlocked, he re-
piled: "Tell 'em to throw it to Hard
ing" And yet there are millions OF
patriotic men and women who grow
up in the Republican party, some OF
whom were for General Wood, some
for Lowden or Senator Johnson, who
have fondly imagined that they were
having something to do with the nom
ination Of a candidate when they went
to the primaries and cast their bal
lots. Under the boss-ridden party of
today they have no more to do with
selecting the candidate than if they
lived in New Guinea, Penrose, big
boss of the lesser bosses, just told
them what to do, and he, in turn,
was told what was wanted by the
Mellon-Dupont outfit. Once in a while
the people still rise up in their might
and do something, proving that they
still have the power-for instance,
the dry lawsuit power unused is
like the hoe that rusts in the she'd
it produces no crop.

politics in his curt refusal, and then
inspired a statement to the effect that
it was all mistake that he had been
opposed. To those who have grown
used to the stiff backbone of Cleve-
land, Roosevelt and Wilson, this rapid
caving-in tendency Of the President
is not conductive to confidence in the
strength Of the Executive. From
time out of mind we have admired
the man who was reputed to carry
the FIST of steel in the silken glove,
but no one loves the President whose
fist of mush is concealed in glove
of the same.

Greece Will Lose.

The Turk will soon be back in Thrace and
the Greeks will have to get out The Turk is
overly anxious. He wants to get in right away,
but the allies feel strong enough to deny this.
Or, it may be said, they have picked up nerve
enough to tell the threatening Turk to wait a
few days.
With Vehicles on the job, all that he can
do is suggest that the allies take charge of
Thrace until such time as Christians have bad
an opportunity to get out, or until the Turk
proves that he doesn't intend to massacre all
the Inhabitants not of his race. Greek troops
have kept order in Thrace. II they are COM
PEELED to withdraw and the Turks move in,
there will be trouble. Venizelos holds that
Turk promises amount to nothing as they
promised order at Smyrna The officers can
|, not hold back the Turk soldier. He knows the
business he was taught When the officers
suggest peaceful entry and law and order, the
Turk soldier believes, as he has right to, that
they are just kidding and perhaps they are.
Viewing Smyrna perhaps France and Italy
will go along with Britain to the extent of pro
ttecting the Christians of Thrace from the Turk
That much for the world should be able tt
expect Of them. The other proposal of Venice
los that the Greeks keep Thrace and the Turl
have all Of Asia Minor comes late The Turl
has all Of Asia Minor, or will take all.

Whv Folks Leave Home.

We are catching it from all Sides Yester-
day a gentleman sailed away to live in Eng
land because the American leisure Glass; to
which he belongs, lacks he says, intelligence.
The American middle class, he is willing to adj
NIT, has brains and uses them, chiefly in the
endeavor to make both ends meet, but into this
class he did not have the luck to be born, so he
is going to England where the leisured have
something more than money.
At the some time, there appeared in New
York a somewhat exhaustive study Of why a
lot of other Americans are going to live in
Europe-by no means all of them people of
means either In general, they say that life in
Europe is more picturesque, less beset by the
scramble for making money, more equipped
with access to beautiful things than it is
here. Or this: 81 have not the taste for a COM
mercial life, and in my opinion America is not
a good place for either the man or the woman
who has not leaning for the purely eommercial
career. That is why / am going to live in
Europe
| But why agonize over quitting these shores?
1t could be quite simple. One is reminded of
| the clergyman, endeavoring to comfort the
| widower on the ride home from the cemetery,
who was petrified by the wido~er's reply:
Eyes, she was good wife to me; but to tell
the truth, never did like her." 8

A Plea for Bromides.

Bromide was, in its youth, respectable
word endowed with dignity and standing. Low
employment has, however. furnished its ap-
and poisoned the mild edge Of its meaning till
1t has become a common roustabout Of q word.
Robbed of its original meaning, it has become
the malovelent instrument Of the critics and
satrsts.
When two old citizens meet and exchange:
We'll, is it hot enough for your"
yes, it's hot enough for me-"
Hotter today than it was yesterday"
"'Sa fact, it is hotter today than it was yes
terday," there is package of bromide and
dose of sedative
The exchange Of platitudinous remarks is
a day-today reinsurance of the rightness of
things. The citizenry speaks common lang
uage, the symbolical language of bromides. The
obvious sense of the words need not be too
closely inquired into except by the bright crit
les who sieze upon each platitude, label it
bromide" hold it up to the light and laugh
uproariously.
The commonplace remark is the foundation
OF all social relation. It is the password and
the'open sesame which, once uttered, opens the
door of the sacred shrine of business discus
sion. Suppose the solid citizens began to fling
brilliant epigrams about, began to cast original,
double-edged qualities at each other The
magic circle would be broken. A new lang
uage would be born which would. in turn, be-
come hackneyed and trite. The quip Of today
is the bromide of tomorrow

Hornes-and Homes.

To say that orphaned children are the most
fortunate would be to state the matter too
strongly. But certain it is that some orphans
have an advantage in that the right sort Of
homes are chosen for them by experienced and
kindly supervisors of the asylums or other in
situations that have undertaken responsibility
for the childs well being.
The child who lives with his own parents
is subject to whatever conditions happen to
prevail in the particular home he has been
born into. If he has been allotted wise and
considerate parents, willing to create help
wul atmosphere, the child is indeed blest. If
he has drawn foolish, inconsiderate and selfish
parents, he is far worse off than the orphan
wait who is placed in carefully selected home,
there to be properly trained and nurtured.
1t is pity that every child cannot have a
proper home with his own mother and father.
But of the two classes Of orphans. those
whose parents are false to them. the former are
not always the worse Off

one day to be publisher. That is, or ought

were discussing their hopes when the former
remarked that he could buy the Moline Dis
patch for $780, That was lot Of money for
