THE REASON.

] THE atmosphere surrounding the annual meet
1 ing of the American Federation Of labor
now in session at Cincinnati, is one of open de-
ANNEXATION of existing legislative government.
The delegates Of one labor department, accord
ing to report unanimously assailed Congress ana
the state legislatures as enemies OF labor, IN one
of the preliminary meetings held last week. Just
how labor justifes that attitude is difficult to
estimate, unless organized labor resents the efforts
of both state and national government torestraln the
hot heads who take the law into their own hands
doing great damage to the cause they represent
by endeavoring to enforce their demands through
intimidation and main strength.
1t has never been possible nor will 1t ever De
nossible to gain any. enduring advantage by force.
one squad Of organized labor symPathizers hrlns
from ambush upon non union men on their way TO
or from their work, will do more to set pubic
opinion against the aims and hope OF union TABOR
than wise and clear thinking labor leadership can
remedy in months. The public fears organizations
that harbor such disregard of law and order ana
laden our courts with burdensome trials and I'LL
our iails with gun toting threateners.
State legislatures are doing their utmost 10
preserve order, only. II any citizen or non citizen
endeavors to take the law into his own unau-
thorized hands and execute what he deems justice
without the courts he is liable to wade through
deep waters. Public sympathy will fail to rec
oenize his appeal for sympathy for his act, and
public sentiment will be one of fear OF his further
intentions. WILL +E..s+- -
Out side of that labor faction impatient of just
restraint Of methods that are wrong and deplor-
able. there will be few voters who feel that state
leg1slations and Congress are against the best IN
terests of organized labor. 1t is to the interest,"
of the country that the best interests OF a great
body of Industrial workers have their reasonable
needs protected and their reasonable and just amol-
lions furthered. Neither courts nor legislatures
are any bar to such interests.
When labor ceases to endeavor to enforce by in
tinidation and main strength its policies, 1T VIII
find smaller need to face the courts, or to night
legislative restrictions, and much less reason to
fuss about rulings and restraint brought about
by its own primary acts.

Many street car accidents confd be ayerted by

take a real delight in giving a notorman a bad
moment or two, but the risk involved in tricks OF
this nature is too great to run%for the amount OF

A little fresh reminder about dimming lights
for the approaching fellow motorist might not
come amiss. There are but few drivers who do
not render this courtesy on the road now, but
there are these few, and they are a menace to all
drivers of machines after n%ightfall- 1t is the in
clination sometimes to wait for the other fellow
to dim first, as there is a very human irritation at
courteously dimming lights for a driver who
dashes straight at a machine and past it, bene-
fitting by this friendly act and repaying it by try
ing to blind the man who extends it. One mans
discourtesy however is no excuse for repayment
in kind, however heartily it is deserved, and the
ri light thing to do is to dim promptly at the ap-
proach and hope the example will be followed in
stantly. Certainly any driver who is responsible
for an accident because of failure to dim his lights
must have a difficult time squaring his conscience
for his careIessness.

Berton Braley's Poem
MAGICIANs

MAGICIANS
The olden magicians were bearded
and gray,
They did all their stunts in a pom
derous way.
They mixed up strange pot1ons
that dubbed and smoked.
And all of the spirits of wrath
they invoked;
They. called on the devil and all his
relations, !,
They muttered dread phrases and
fierce lamentations,
Like "Abracadabra" and Allasa-
And yet, at the finish, their
magic was sham!
The modern magicians are kids in
their teens,
With nothing of hokum or bunk
in their beans;
Some pieces of junk and a bum
die of wire
Are all that these up-to-date
wizards require
To build you a radio set that Will
The waves that are hurting all
over the map;
They bring to you voices that
throb through the air,
Believe me. these boys r masi-
clans for fair!
If old Cagliostro OF Merlin came
back
Those priests of a magic excessive
ly black
They'd find themselves humbled
by some freckled kid
Who works more enchantment
than they ever did;
And when they returned to the
wizards long dead
No one would believe even half
what they said,
And thin spectral laughter
would follow all through
Their tale of these marvels that
children can do!

|cations Of the architects. There is no
|evidence fthe skimping of material
so oftea seen in big contracts. The
utmost care is taken to see that not
only the specifications are followed,
but that the material used is of the
best. All of the buildings show the ut
most care, but in this building it is
more noticeable because of the magni-
tude and cost of the building. 1t is of
course steam heated as are all of the
others but in this one the ventilation
is a noticeable feature in itself. Be-
sides the natural ventilation which is
supplied by means of the pivot win
lows, allowing the fresh air to enter
through the lower panel and the foul
lir to escape through the upper, this is
aided by an auxiliary system, COM
posed of battery of eight big suction
'ans propelled by individual motors
and a ball bearing drum ventilator on
he second floor of the auditorium.
All of the dormitories are equipped
with hot and cold running water In
every room while in each section are
Iavatories and shower baths on every
floor easily accessible to every room
in the building.
The improvements this year when
completed will cost approximately 3d.
100000 and will place the University
of Mississippi well towards the top OF
southern universities in the matter of
beauty, convenience and capacity OF its
buildings.

| 1t may not be news to the people OF
Oxford to be told that many improve
ments are under way at the University
but it NAV be news for them to learn
of the extent of those improvements.
Four new dormitories, three for
girls and one for men, have just been
erected, a new dining hall built and
the executive building is being over
hauled and modernized and other i'm
provements noted However, the
main building and one that should be
source of pride not only to the peo-
pie of Oxford but as we'll to the peo-
pIe of the whole state, is the new
Chemical and Pharmacy building-a
thing of beauty, and in view of the
sturdiness of its construction should
be joy forever.
1t is built of gray pressed brick with
massive stone columns in the front
giving it colonial appearance. 1t Is
flour stories high including the base
lment, which is not a basement at all,
but full story little below the lev
ell, with plenty of natural light and
ventilation. The stairs and floor rail,
lings are finished in marble, while the
inclined floor of the lecture room is II
maple, natural color, and is in abso
lutte accord with the remaine1 of the
interior finish. The architect Wht
planned the building showed his abso
lutte knowledge of the needs of build
ling for the purpose for which this one
lis intended to be used, and the con

MEMPHIS GETS FIRST
BALE OF ARKANSAS CROP

Memphis, Tenn, Aug. 22.-The
first bale of the 1922 cotton crop
from Arkansas arrived in Memphis
Monday morning, consigned to Abs
ton-Wynne & Co.
The cotton was from the Arkansas
Red Gum plantation, Hughes, Ark,
st. Francis county, owned and opera
ted by w. A. and Charles Ransom,
of Memphis.
Abston-Wynne & Co., classed the
cotton as strict middling, one and
one-eighth inch staple. 1t was sold
at a private sale to F. M. Crump &
Co. The Ransom brothers author
lied the announcement that the en-
tire proceeds from the sale go to
the Tri-State Cripple Children's
hospital school. Crump & Co. paid
40 cents a pound for the cotton.
w. A. Ransom said that the pros

splendid yield, but the crop has de-
terioated considerably during the
