Woodrow Wilson is showing
time after tim,e that it is entirely 1
possible to be both right and t
president.
With due respect to the moral a
and religious nature of former
the occupant of the White a
House is the first in many long
years to invite God to share the t
responsibilities of the office, v
For once, at least, the God of
Heaven is dwelling in the house f
of our chief excutive and the i
course of events shows his f
guiding hand. f
An exchange says a fly breeds r
200,000,000 descendants in 40 '
days. Suppose there were 100 ^
flies that spent the winter in %
Pageland and began operations
about 40 days ago, we rfow have
20,000,000,000. At this rate for 40 s
days more, which will be only *
about half the fly season, 4,000, ^
000,000,000,000,000 flies will be 1
hatched in Pageland. Don't N
you think we had better begin *
? t
to destroy the breeding places,
or do you think the fellow who *
said a fly could raise so many
other flies in 40 da.> s was lying? J

Germany to Reply This Week.
Washington, May 17.?Ger- d
many is expected to answer the d
Lusitania note before the end of
this week. Ambassador Gerard
cabled the state department
today that he had read the note
to Herr von Jagow, the foreign
minister, and that an early re c
ply would be forthcoming.
The ambassador was given no 15
intimation of the feeling of the
German government. He was
assured meiely that the subject S
would require consideration by ^
high officials, and that a reply
would be readv soon. As the ?
press had not been permitted to
publish the text of the note, the ^
ambassador also was unable to
report on the state of public d
opinion. h
In the meantime both Count ~
von and Dr. Coustantin Dum- II
ba, the Austrian ambassador, are
understood to be actively endeavoring
to prevent a rupture
of friendly relations between ?
Germany and the United States. |
