A Dad-and-Boy Epening

When boy loses his father by DEATH the world feels
that he has lost his suret guide to manhood and pity is
always expressed that his upbrngng is left entirely in
the hands of his mother
Such loss is sad for any boy, but how much sadder
the fate of those who lose their fathers by life? Who
have them and yet have them not who are separated
from them by the demands of business pleasure or in
difference; who have their fathers flesh but not in
spirit?
1t is possible for mother to exercise the same
influence over growing boy that father In the
first place she is held away from him by the gigantic
wall of she hope to understand the needs
of his developing nature could.
Her maternal instinct yearns her man-child and
her heart is towards him. Every growing boy
needs mans guiding hand, and it is appalling how
many fathers do not seem to realize this fact
If fathers could be made to realize that the giving of
even evening every week to their boys might mean
the making of future great men, surely there not one
who would begrudge this time and count it well spent
Our boys, after all, stay with boys for such
pitifully short time.

HUGHES PLANS TO
QUIT THE CABINET
UNPRECEDENTED QUARREL IN G
o. P. OVER FOREIGN VIEWS.
SECRECY Is MAIN CAUSE
Certain Official Who Has Shocked
Diplomacy Frequently Gives Out
Inform alton That Secretary
of State Will Resign.

Washington.-Unti a short while
ago the occasional rumors that Chas.
Evans Hughes would quit his post as
secretary of state have not been taken
too seriously.
But now an informeI and dependa-
BILE administration source permitted
the information to leak out that Mr..
Hughes has now reached the verge Of
a decision to hand his portfolio back
to President Harding and return to
the practice of law.
Because of the reliability of the
source of this news, it was widely
credited here, for it is doyetailed in
perfectly with recent events and the
recurrent fits of irritability which Mr..
Hughes has disployed within his do
main over the rising tide of denuncia-
tion directed at him from the country
and especially from republicans.
Moreover, it followed close on the
heels of the G. o. P. insurgency of a
few days ago in the senate foreign re-
lations committee when Johnson, b.
rah, Brandagee, Moses and McCor.
mick, all republicans, united in start
ing showdown on the administra-
tion's foreign policy.
The causes of G. o. P. dissatisfac-
tion are manifold They embrace re-
sentiment over the mysteriousness of
the Hughes method, the secretiveness
of the Hughes methods, the alleged
meddling in foreign affairs under the
guise of observing" the well known
differences of opinion between the
president and secretary of state, COM
plicated by Secretary of Commerce
Hoover, who usually seems to be pull
ing in a third direction.
Actually the republicans in con-
gress are wholly perplexed over what
the administration is trying to do in
foreign relations.

sh.rs here charging conspiracy in

hught against his client were "pre-

tdeut, Mr.. Stimson added, if work
man like Mr.. Crowell was re-
urded by suspicion and dishonor."
Mr. Crowell, in presenting his plea,

Within 80 Gays and substitute for it

The intelligent and aggressive cam
palgn carried on by the Woman
Voter and the Mississippi League of
Women. for the payment of poll tax
by the women of Mississippi in order
that they may not be disfranchised
and be able to participate in the NOM
ination and election of all offices
from governor and constable in the
August primary, seems to have borne
splendid fruit. Visitors to the state
capital report that women in the coun-
try precints where they failed to pay
poll tax last year haye paid in in
creasing numbers in order that they
may register four months before the
November election in 1923 and par
! ticipate in the August primaries The
women of Mississippi, it becomes
more evident daily, propose not only
to exercise a potential influence in
the selection of the highest type of Of
ficers, but they appear to be watch
ing with keen interest the positions
of candidates for governor and mem
bers of the legislature with view of
voting for those most friendly to wo-
men and to their interests. They do
not hesitate to say, according to re-
ports from everywhere, that they are
opposed to any man for governor who
is not in favor of giving them gener-
Gus recognition on educational and
eleemosynary boards and in the mat
ter of other appointments. They also
appear to be stressing the fact that
they only favor candidates for the
legislature and for governor, who will
do what they can to alleviate the tax
payers in the matter of taxation,
citing the fact that Mississippi owes
$16,000000 of bonded Indebtedness,
more than two-thirds of which went
for running expenses of the govern
ment. The women of the state are
deeply devoted to her educational in
terests, and especially to the public
schools, and they are saying that if
any revenue is cut off or if the leaks
are not stopped, it means decreased
appropriation for public education,
and in this position the report also
reaches the capital that many educa
tors and the public school teachers of
the state are generally in agreement
with them.
