Women Protest Against Scandal.

State Senator E. w. Breeland, re-
Gently received a letter from the
Fortnightly Club, the Parent1Teac
er Association and the Civic League
of Pascagoula, in which more than
100 women of that community voic-
ed their protest against the scandal
that has been published abroad in
connection with the Governor of our
State" Continuing the letter says:
I'VE ask that you adopt such meas
ures as may be best for our state,
and the youth of our land, that are
influenced by such disgraceful af-
fairs. What incentive is it to our
young people to live clean lives If
the highest official in our state al
lows his conduct to be such as to be
even open to suspicion?
I'VE demand that the private life
Of our governors shall be above re-
proach and such that we can point
with pride and urge our sons and
daughters to emulate.
In reply to the above Senator Bree-
land wrote as follows:-
PLEASE express to your organiza-
tion my sincere appreciation Of your
recent communication, directed to
me as your State Senator, and per-
tanning to the recently widely pub
lished scandal involving our govern
or and others.
IT am in perfect sympathy with
the sentiment expressed in your COM
munication, and share with you Mis-
sissippi's disgrace. Just what legis-
lation can be enacted to cure such
evils, seems to be an unknown guam
tity, and the only remedy that seems
to offer itself is for you good women
to- exercise your influence so as to
build healthy sentiment toward e.
lecting bigger and better men to
high places in our state.
II appreciate this suggestion, and
hope that you will not hesitate to
make any other or further sugges-
tions about this or any other matter
that you may feel disposed to make. "

FAKE ADVERTISING GETS
STRONG SETBACK HERE
BroOkhaven Merchants Have Been
victimized A Good Example
is Set.

The following article appearing in
the Clarion-Ledger would be good
criterion which the Brookhayen
Board of Trade or Kiwanis Club
could we'll pattern after in its par
ticulars. Brookhavenites have been
wantonly skinned" in many ways
ing them from good hard coin of the
realm on various advertising propo-
sitions that were not worth 20 per
cent of the prices charged.
The Clarion-Ledger's article reads
as, follows:-
In view of the fake advertising
schemes that have been perpetrated
ON the public of Jackson recently,
and Of the necessity of affording
some sort of protection to the gen.
eral public from these solicitors who
frequently make a nominal connec-
tion with some benevolent organiza-
tion and work as though such an or
ganization were receiving beneit and
who, quite as frequently misrepre-
sent their proposition, the board of
directors of the Chamber of Com
merce after having given the matter
| tAOA Ou6A OOsl0AuOl dI1OA anu having
brought before it instances of this
evil in Jackson; passed a resolution
at its last meeting calling on all the
people of Jackson to refrain from
spending their money for these ques-
tionable advertising schemes, with
out first getting in touch with the
Chamber of Commerce Advertising
Vigilance Committee.
The committee was provided for
| by the board of directors and has
just been appointed by President j.
Y. Downing. All members Of the
Chamber of Commerce thereof can
protect themselves by demanding of
all advertising solicitors letter from
this Vigilance Committee approving
their advertising \ proposition for
Jackson.
The inability on the part of any
solicitor to show such a letter may
be taken as positive proof that he
either has not conferred with this
committee and given them an oppor-
Ftunity to pass on his proposition OF
the committee has withheld its ap-
proval. The business men of Jack
son may feel assured that every pro-
position will be thoroughly investi-
| gated by the committee and that all
meritorius schemes will be endorsed
and that all schemes lacking merit,
or being too high in price for the re-
turns that may be expected from the
advertising, will be disapproved.

Where Does Auto Money Coz

When you pay your automobile
tax at the sheriff's office you pay So
for the tags in addition to the tax.
And all of it is sent to Jackson.
We would like to know what the
state does with the So. and the peo-
pie would like to know, for they are
paying it. They say, of course, in
Jackson that the So is the cost OF
the metal tags, but we are reliably
informed that these tags cost about
IS cents apiece. II this is true, then
the people are entitled to know what
becomes of the two dollars.-C Colum-

DEMPSEY DECLARES
HE Is WILLING TO
FIGHT BILL TATE
Champ Says Negro Is Best
Man in His Class and En-
titled to Chance.

CHICAGO. April SACK Demp-
sey, worlds heavyweight boxing
champion. Wednesday announced
his willingness TO meet Bill Tate. his
former sparring partner and claim
ant OF the negro heavyweight title,
providing any promoter Will offer
acceptable terms. Dempsey came
here from Los Angeles. He will
leave Thursday for New York, and
sail for Europe Tuesday.
Just say 1 would like TO give Bill
Tate a shot at the title Dempsey
said. Bill was a good sparring
partner and I understand he has
improved greatly in his boxing. II
he defeated Harry Wills decisively,
then ] cannot see why they want
me 10 fight Harry.
1T the public is not satisfied which
is the best man. then some promoter
should stage a is round contest be-
tween them and find out once for
all which is the best. Tate has
everything which goes TO make a
great fighter, but / believe I can
handle him as easily in a fight as
in the practice ring Bill would
probably give me a better fight than
Willard, Miske or Carpenter did"

conversation with Jack kearns in
New York Wednesday and that there
are a few bitches in the proposed
European trip which Kearns expects

IF JACK DOESN'T

WILL BE SORRY"
Champion and Miss Baker to
Sail for Europe on the

BY DAVIS j. WALSH
/. v. =. Sports Editor.

NEW YORK. April Sit is now
being set forth in all good faith that
Jack Dempsey, blonde, and Harry
Wills. brunette. are to put on their
proposed heavywei ght championship
bout at Jersey City in the not too
distant future. Frank Flournoy and
the eminent Mr. Rickard, who col
Elaborated on the WiIard-Dempsey
affair at Toledo, are TO be the pro-
motors. Il seems.
Dempsey is due 10 reach New York
in a day or so and will sail for
Europe on the Aauitauia April II,
but before he goes he will be shown
the dotted line and asked TO do his
duty.
On the other hand, If Jersey is
disposed TO look unkindly upon this
extravaganza in black and white,
there viii be no bout at all and
Dempsey will be constrained to ped
die his highly esteemed services
around Europe, where there is little
money in sight and none too over
WIDENING desire 10 see the American
in a bout with a European medic
Gritty.
Europe seems 10 have become quite
philosophical about Dempsey. II is
admitted over there that he is bet
ter than any man the old world can
muster; therefore why make him
prove it?
That being the case. it Is alto
gether likely that If anything can be
done about a Wills contest in this
country, the champion will not go
TO Europe. The bouts he has in
prospect there with Bombardier
Wells, Joe Beckett and Carpenter
are not particularly alluring from a
financial standpoint. These are being
viewed abroad as nothing more than
exhibitions and no fighter every but
tered his bread with exhibition
money.
This makes the Wills proposition
look very tidy II IL can be put over.
(Society Item: Mary Landon Baker
will sail on the Aquitania TO wed
Allister Mccormick in England.)
