he would be less than an excellent
Senator.
Congressman VIII M. Wilmington

ConLrol matters and is chairman OF
tnat very important committee.
JUDGE DAVIS has served SO well tor

1hat Is true also of Chancellor M.

Lnancellors on the bench. He is
distinctly Supreme Court timber
ana we may hope to see him MEM
Der OF that booy in time.
If Everybody Outside of Town
was broke it would be just as good
sense for town citizens to provide
money to start them off again. That
would enable them to trade in town,
support its businesses, all to mutual
protlt of town and country. Stripped
OF all its petty jealouses that is ex-
actly what the loan to Britain means.
For many months the British stood
alone between the Huns and world
domination. 1t was exhauSting, they
are broke and tired. Self interest
calls on us to make them the loan
as quickly as it can be done. The
Americans who negotiated the loan
agreement were completely patriotic
and wen informed. We cannot do
better than trust their work.
Mothers DuY" is Beautiful
Sentiment. 1t mas been SO olngently
commercialized that we are not
allowed to think of love and rever-
ence and little things to do to
hghten her burdens or honor her
memory. No, we have to remember
to buy something" to give her
then forget it for year.
Alcotroz Islond Prison is where
the most desperate Federal Prison
ers are onfined-robbers, killers.
In just about every case they are
men who should have ben sentenced
to death. Soft hearted (soft headed)
juTies or judges moved by silly SEN
timent have given less than a death
sentence. These desperadoeS sur
prised a guard, armed themselves. |
so far two prison officials are killed;
IA wounded. The leader murdered a
u. S. Marshal and was sent to prison.
instead of having his neck stretch
ed. 1t should convince even the SEN
timentalist but won't; they are in
durable.
The Palestine Trouble Is some-'
thing we got ourselves into, nobody
asked us to NEEDLE. It's very hot
potato the British drew. after World
War /, in the shape of a mandate
over Palestine. 1t seemed to the
British Prime Minister of the time
that it would be just the thing to
hand it over to the Hebrews and he
promised that without considering
the, Arabs who had been in control
for so many centuries. When they
heard of the promise the Arabs
entered strenuous objection and the
situation got hotter and hotter. Then
we butted in, suggested to the Eng
ish what they should do about 1t.
Fine" said they, ''let's send Joint
committee to suggest solution"
1t was done, the joint American
British commission have announced
a solution" The Jews are tre-'
mendously displeased. The Arabs
even more so. The Jews propose to
assert their rights in the country by
force of arms. The Arabs say they
will resist with every means IN
their reach and will have the aid OF
the powerful Mohammedan nations
and peoples. The situation is highly
explosive. The British, quite logic
ally, suggest that we send several
combat divisions to help them keep
the peace. There is plenty OF fuel to
start the dread Holy War and new
conflagration. The Russians Will
certainly back the Arabs. YOU take
it from there.
Mississippi Sportsmen. Men and
Women. from all over the state Will
meet in Jackson at the City Audi
torium tomorrow-May 10th, Friday
for the purpose of forming an or
ganization that will have for Its
object to conserve the dwindling
game and fish supplies and work in
cooperation and harmony with the
State Game and Fish Commission
An end of open hunting and fishing
is in sight unless we take better
care of our seed game and fish and
fur bearers. In addition to efficient,
informed and non-political Wardens
we need a public sentiment that will
back up the regulations and insist
ON observance of seasons and limits.
If we do not get it our children can
not have the outdoor pleasures even
