THE PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS. The address of President Wilson be fore the United States Congress Tues day stating the war aims of the American people is such. a clear ami concise statement that no one can mistake its meaning. His program for world peace contains fourteen de mands. Upon these he pledges the strongest support of the nation and says that "for these covenants and ar rangements we are willing to tight and to continue to fight until they are achieved." Closing an address, which has received the highest commenda tion from great statesmen the world over, the President says: "We have spoken now, surely, in terms too concrete to admit of any further doubt or question. An evident principle runs through the whole pro gram I have outlined. It is the princi ple of justice to all peoples and na tionalities *and their right to live on equal terms of liberty and safety with one another, whether they be strong or weak. Unless this principle be made its foundation no part of the structure of international justice can stand. The people of the United States could act upon no other princi ple, and to the vindication of this prin ciple they are ready to devote ^heir lives, their honor and everything that they possess. The moral climax of this, the culminating and final war for human liberty has come, and they are ready to put their own strength, their own highest purpose, their own in tegrity and demotion to the test." SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT PASSES The leaders of Woman Suffrage are rejoicing over the victory scored in the House at Washington yesterday. The vote was 274 to 136. The measure had to have a two-thirds majority and ?so close was the vote that a change of one affirmative vote to the negative would have defeated the Suffrage ?Resolution. Messrs. Small, Kitchin, Pou, Sted man, Godwin, Doughton, Robinson and Webb voted against the Suffrage .Amendment. Mr. Weaver votd for it and Mr. Hood did not vote. Two days ago defeat stared the measure in the face, but the appeal to President Wilson to throw his in fluence on the side of the women was successful- and this saved the day. Of the 435 members of the House, 410 members voted. The vote stood: For the Resolution, Democrats 104, Republicans 165, Miscellaneous 5. Total 274. Against the Resolution, Democrats 102, Republicans 33, Pro gressives 1. Tota] 136. This Resolution now goes to the Senate and the leaders of the move ment will make a tremendous effort to have a vote on it during the present session. Use the Word "Moment." In some sections of the country almost everybody uses the word "moment." In this section hardly anybody uses it. Here, if one is get ting his hat from the rack to go off on a trip with some one else it will be said: "I will be ready in a minute," when it is going to take only a f<w seconds to get ready. In all such cases the word "moment" should be used. Webster's Dictionary says: "Moment means a minute, portion of time, or an instant." It is a good word and should be used in all cases where just a few seconds are meant. Some use the word "second" in place of "moment," but that is as much too short p time as the word "minute" is too long a time. "Moment" or "mo ments" are the best words to use when less than a minute is involved. AT THE CAPITAL OF BANNER. Death of Mr. John Allen Moore, A*e 65. Other Deaths Ilelow Ilenson.

The Board of Education met in regular session at the office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction Monday. A special petition from Ingram No. 6 asking for an election of 25 cents on $100 valuation of pro perty, and 75 cents on the poll was granted. The Board decided to purchase a chart, "It I'ays to Stay in School," and place m every school in the County. A moving picture machine, which belongs to the State, was made ar rangements for by the Board. Ten community centers will be selected. Each district, where it is to operate, must become responsible to the Coun ty Board of Education for $100, which is two-thirds of the cost of running same. Two entertainments will be given each* month, for a period of six months ? making the cost a little more than $8 per night. An admission can be charged, and it is hoped by this means to cover all expenses. A* new set of select pictures will be used at each entertainment. This will be a fine thing for the community where it is to be used. Already applications have come in from several places for this machine. It is the desire of the Board that this entertainment be given at places in different parts of the County, instead of any one town ship. A Community League will be organized in each place where the me chine is used, and the operator of the picture machine will have charge of the organisation work. Each program will consist of not less than six reels and will consume not less than one and a half Ijours time. The Bo; rd apportioned the school funds as follows: For white teachers' salaries, $30, 1)90.00. For colored teachers' salaries, $6, 020.00. No other issues of importance were dealt with at this meeting and the Board adjourned. Below is given the j)lans and dates of the Group Meetings. Archer Lodge, January 15th.
