UNIVERSITY TOT
READY SEPT. 70
Five Dormitories Already Completed
Contracts Let For Other Work.

Construction work at the Univer-
sity of Mississippi is going forward
rapidly and it is expected that every
thing will be in readiness for the
opening, September 20. Five, COM
modious, new dormitories have been
completed, making it possible for the
University to accommodate a great
ly increased attendance. The mag
nificent Chemistry and Pharmacy
Building has assumed finished ap-
pearance from the outside and plans
for equipping the laboratories and
classrooms in the best and most
modern way have been made. I'M
mense steam tunnels nave been cut
to connect the new buildings with
the Power Plant, which is to be
thoroughly overhauled and furnish
ed with larger engines and boilers.
The contract for this work has al
ready been given as has that for the
remodeling of the interior Of Ly-
ceum Building and these improve
ments will be made with the greatest
haste consistent with good workman
ship. Concrete walks are being laid
leading from the new buildings to the
old walks. In short nothing has
been overlooked which will tend to
add to the beauty and convenience OF
the University plant.
In addition to the material i'm
provements mentioned, many import
ant changes have been made affect
ing the welfare of the students in a
real way. The School of Law will
rank for the first time as an A-grade
law school, having now met all the
requirements of the Association of
American Law Schools. This has
been made possible by the addition
of one professor to its faculty, the
extension of the course OF study,
and the increase N the number Of
library books. The School of Phar-
macy has been strengthened by the
addition of one new professor in its
faculty. An assistant physical direc-
tor has been employed and the Uni
versity has also been fortunate
enough to secure the services of an
instructor for track team work. A
Y. M. C. A. secretary is to be in
charge Of the religious organizations
among the students next session. The
outlook for a session of efficient
service is very bright.

red to statements he had made in
reference to Mr.. Vardaman. 1t was
recalled that three months after war
had been declared, Mr.. Stephens, as
a member of the House offered a
resolution the purpose of which was
for America to draw out of the war.
This resolution and a motion to ad-
iourn was the ten year record OF
Hubert Democrat" Stephens and
he drew in salary during that time
the sum of $4,000. The speech was
frequently punctuated with applause.
Judge Burch expressed great con-
fidence in the outcome of the prl-
mary, predicting after having been
in so counties, that Mr.. Vardaman
would carry the state by a majority
of 10000 to 10000.

Judge Burch Speaks.

Very great interest was manifested
in the man who had come to present
the cause of Senator Vardaman.
Many in the audience from different
parts Of the county had come with
the expectation of hearing Mr.. Varda-
man himself. Chancellor Powers, in
presenting the speaker, stated briefly
the reasons why he was not present
and called attention to the unfairness
of those who would take advantage
of his temporary physical disability
in order to ride into office. He stat
ed that Mr.. Vardaman's general
health was never better and that his
inconvenience was caused by ill-fit-
ting false teeth.
Judge Burch met every expecta-
ton Of those who came to hear an
adequate discussion of Senator Varda-
mans case. 1t is doubtful if a man
ever had more earnest and power
full advocate at the bar of public
opinion. In language chaste and
polished and with a fervency that
compelled conviction, he carried his
audience through the years Of Varda-
mans career in the U. S. Senate He
laid bare the record Of the faithful
years of 1917 and 1918 with telling
force and out of their own mouths
confounded his enemies. A cam
paign could not be pitched on higher
plane than Judge Burch is employ
ing in presenting the case of the
Man Vardaman. His speech was as
devoid of personalities as any pos
sibly ever delivered in the many til
tanic political battles waged in the
Magnolia State.
His Senate Record Analysed.
In setting forth the case, the speak
er asserted that the charges COM
monty hurled against Vardaman are,
that he is undemocratic, pro-German
and un-American. He then very per-
tinently asked "What is necessary in
order that one may be democratic, so
that if he does not do these necessary
things he may be branded as undemo-

that even William j. Bryan, who had

ing.

ships and after trivial reversed
himself and came back to his original
position? But because some sena-
tors honestly differed with him,
they were caustically referred to as
l4sthe twelve little wilful men," When,
pray, the speaker asked, was the
exclusive power of the entire gov
eminent constitutionally given into
the hands of one man?
Mr.. Vardaman, along with many
honorable patriotic men and women,
honestly believed that a volunteer
army could be raised su. .ciently
large to prosecute the war to sue
cessful close without recourse to the
draft. He opposed its passage be-
cause he believed in the patriotism
of American men to fill the ranks as
they were needed How, the speaker
asked, do the returned soldiers feel
about another draft? "Mothers of
Mississippi, how do you stand on
conscription today?
Judge Burch referred to the Ship
Purchase Bill as "too silly for dis
cussion before an intelligent audi
ence." Long ago repudiated, today
the fruits of that iniquitous law
hang like milestone obout the necks
of the American people. At cost Of
three billion dollars and in direct de-
fiance of the Democratic platforms
of 1904, 1908, 1912 and 1916 fleet
of 1442 ships has been built and only
420 are now being used
Declaration of War.
Since Mr.. Vardaman has been so
venomously attacked about his op-
position to a declaration of war at
the time it was made, a careful read
ing of the record md the utterances
of leading men is enlightening. Many
seem to have forgot the issues of the
campaign of 1916. Is any one silly
enough to charge the Democratic
party with making the race on war
platform? Mr.. Ollie James, in MAX
ing the keynote speech before the
lSt. Louis convention in 1916, referred
'so Mr.. Wilson epigramraaticaily
thus: "He kept us out Of war" and
the election was won on tfat battle
cry, yet the Lusitania had gone down
twelve months before the convention
was held. On January 1, 1917, just
three months before declaration of
war was asked for, Mr.. Wilson de-
clared before Congress that every
difference between America and Ger
many had been settled with complete
honor to America. In the meantime
he had made his celebrated TOO
proud to fight" speech. These facts
are incontrovertible and even the
wayfaring man can understand them.
Is it Un-American to fail to change
your mind as often as another man
even though That man be president
of these United States?
There are those who believe the
president might have consistently
| listened to constructive criticism and
still the war would have been won.
Had he done so the Democratic party
might have been spared the igno-
minious defeat of 1920, when it was
buried beneath an avalanche Of y
100000 votes and states like Missouri
and Tennessee went into the Repub-
Iican column, and Mississippi gave
to the Republican party three times
as many votes as ever before since
| the days of the scalawag and car

that even William j. Bryan, who had

the state legislature, and his unselfish
work in behalf of education. Mr..
Anderson made an able speech in be-
half of his candidacy, reviewing the
preparation he had had for such a
position and outlining his views on the
important questions. He reiterated
the charge of fraud in the election of
two years ago and offered to with
draw from the race permanently if
he did not carry the home county of

two to one over his opponent if his
opponent would make a like agree
ment to withdraw if he did carry it

Notes
BY Fost c. Scribe

The contentment of the travelling
statesmen of the United States is pro-
verbal, and yet it is not strange that
this situation exists, when the per
sonalities of the travelling men are
studied. The very duties that they
are called on to perform makes for
contentment. To be successful on the
road, they must be good mixers
and must keep smiling at all times,
whether they wish to do so or not
They are seeing new faces all the
time and making new friends, which
is a splendid thing to do. They are
visiting different places every day, and
while some unpleasant features come
to the surface, which must be smooth
ed away, yet they see many amusing
things which the people who stay at
home do not have an opportunity OF
meeting. They naturally are happiest
when they are selling goods, and sell
ing goods means work, and in this
manner their time is always taken up
Then again, they are always looking
forward to Friday evening or Saturday
when they will be home to meet the
good wife and the kiddies, or as some
times happens, grand-kiddies, and last
but by no means least, is the out.
standing fact of their supreme loyalty
to their employers. The above are
only few of the happenings of life
which come to the travelling men, but
these matters when studied carefully,
will clearly show the reasons why the
travelling men are so successful i'll
