Tuesday, September 25, 1917. ^ = =1 * A mail in Mississippi by the name! of Taylor we saw from the paper the! ? other day has ten sons and all of t: them and himself have enlisted in; e the war. And he has ten daughters ' p and most of them the paper said have f< enlisted as Red Cross nurses. That e is the sort of patriotism to win the b few more families like r that would count very fast. f< President Wilson wants congress tJ to adjourn and go home so that the members may tell the people wny a this country is at war and explain the 5 war aims of the couDtry. Just as "well. In war times we don't have . b*t ore department of government. w The commander-in-chief of the arm- j iea should be in absolute control. He ? - n: knows more about it than any of ^ ' ' the rest ' J ^ < . 9m \ pj We agree with Gov. Manning in .. his telegram to Gen.

No use to keep them as 6b, the anxious bench. We think The 02 ' ; State is mistaken in the statement 08 ?a t/vft aaa man who will be W U JLV^VVV M.V? "?

It was Jj ! nest k>ag before the declaration ^ a I ^ I tffeste cf-^war by this country and I f' f Wits Mr. :%ernstorff was ptill in1 9 7 ; IfcSs cos a try 1/ he was trying to in- M '^Inence .congress wrongfully he should I fcave been arrested and convicted ana I.

' If we had Just had the morrey to back our Judgment' we would haro made enough money the past week to / v *??* lasted us the balance of our] days in baying cotton. And we would have made it much sooner than we expected. But that is always the case, the man with money is the man who can make money, and the poov fellow, without any must go on struggling to the end. It has ever been th&s and will be to the end of the ?&apter. And we have no regrets, feeeause we know how to spend what) we get, and we know some people who hj?ve money and don't know how / to spend it And that Is a greater ea- , lemity than to be poor. Octtoii took the up grade ?ooner tban we expected. v fa these days when they talk hi j millions and billions in Washington; we don't see how Mr. Bernstorff j could bope to\ huy much influence! with $50,000, and the kind he would. buy for that sum would not be much! I influence. It would be a pretty cheap, coagressman that would sell out at any pricc, but groups that could be - - -- .. . -- I bought for fifty tnousana woma noi fce worth the buying. As to whether^ i &&T of "those who voted against war will he sent back or not time only' oan reveal. As to whether they should fee sent back or not or whether they' i should be kicked out of congress is a matter of opinion and opinions vary.' I Certainl/ we do not believe any of f them was influenced in his vote by Mr. Bernstorffs fifty thousand, and it is a sort of bushwhacking proceed-' ing to suggest that any of them -was so influenced, and if any one has the evidence that a congressman was ?o influenced he is untrue to the people ? I prj the district of the congressman. Re . a'p4 not a true citizen of this country . + . . he withholds the evidence. If lie j is no such evidence it is cowardly j > make the suggestion that any con- ' ressman's vote was so influenced. \ In that same marked copy of the Washington Times which we received "e find the following: ''Government is not going to fix he price of meat. Many thanks ror hat. An announcement that beef oust cost two and a half cents a ound at the farms would be a signa* or all butchers to raise the price sevn and a half cents a pound at trie utcher shop.
