General Miles does not mince mat
ters in his report on the conditions in
the Philippines. He is not bit back
ward in mentioning names either. Some
Of his charges are sensational to say
the least, and are likely TO be followe /
by courtmartials of the men so accus-
ed. Administration newspapers have
been fond OF referring to the stories of
cruelty in the islands as fake" stuff
from the correspondents Of the yellow
Democratic papers. The public gener-
ally has been slow to believe the re-
ports of the inhuman water cure" and
Of the ruthless murders which have
been laid at the doors Of American
officers In the islands. General Miles,
however, presents the facts SO boldly
that there is no longer any excuse for
skepticism. The conditions exist as
they are presented in his report. Muir
der has been done and all of the hor-
rors Of the inquisition have been en-
ployed In an attempt to force tales

Workmen at Sandusky brewery
are about to go on strike because the
company will not allow them twenty
pints of beer each day for individual
consumption instead Of ten, the present
allowance. The company's objection
to granting the demands of the men
in this respect is, not on account of the
cost of the beer, but for the reason
that it decreases the efficiency of the
workmen. A man who drinks twenty
pints of beer a day can not do as good
work as the man who drinks ten and
the man who drinks ten, by the same
token, is inferior to the man who
drinks none. No persons appreciate
the effects of over-indulgence in this
beverage better than the men who
make it and handle it, This Sandusky
brewery does not object to the en-
ployes of other concerns drinking
twenty or even forty pinks Of its pro-
duct a day but 1t draws the line upon
what 1t considers an undue quantity in
its own workshop. In this case II is
not a question of sentiment or of NOR
als, but plain proposition of busi-
ness.

To the idleness of married women
Hetty Green attributes the prevalence
of divorce. Women never learn any
thing about housekeeping, she says
land instead OF attending to their
household matters after marriage they
are without interest in them. They

BILE fellows. 1t ends in the divorce
court and 1t is a sad thing" Hetty has
hit the nail squarely on the head. Do
mestic idleness is breeder Of domes-

rounds his wife with Injuries and en-
ploys others to take charge of the af-
fairs OF his household is taking more
chances than he knows Of Women

Then the trouble follows" says Mrs.
Green. A busy wife is the best wife,
Babies are good divorce preventatives;
they employ the mothers mind and
supply the employment which is es-
sential to happiness in any walk of
life. Liberal applications of Mrs
Green's anti-divorce specific work, will
be followed by an appreciable falling

CARROLL REPUBLICANS
GETTING VERY TIRED
OF POLITICAL OBLIVION

Down in Carroll county the senator
ial situation is getting strenuous and
threats against the Stark county pol
iticians are being dished UP In weekly
doses by the papers of Carrollton. Two
years ago it took lot Of promises,
none OF which were kept, to restore
peace in the party. This year 1t is
not promises, but the goods, that the
Carroll fellows want. They have been
gold -bricked often enough, they say.
The Carrollton Republican-Standard
has the following to say of the situa-
ton.
Stark county porcine politicians are
preparing for little Carroll" her usual
bitter dose. VIII Carroll county Re-
publicans stand for 1t this year? VIII
they without even protesting, humbly
submit to the fragrant violation of their
political rights? Or will they. who
have hitherto been loyal to Stark and
her favored sons, rebuke at the polls
such solid south" policy.
1t is to be hoped that Carroll has
bought her last gold brick from Stark
county's political green goods men.

Splttoons on Street Corners.

, The local improvement societies
everywhere have had a hard struggle to
bring the public at large into line for
keeping the highways free from waste
paper and other scraps. In not a few
cities and villages this sort of trash
is still visible on all sides in spite Of
the number of years that the campaign
fer unlittered streets has been in pro-
gress. The most effective means used
in educating a populace appear to
have been the vividly colored scrap
boxes set up at certain corners and
inscribed with a legend asking the
passer-by to throw his waste paper in
to them instead of dropping it discrim-
inately. Shall we be driven to some
such device in breaking up the side

Columbus Gossip


Columbus, April 2S. - Some OF the
wise politicians OF this part OF the
state are now making the claim that
from now on Ohio is in the doubt
ful" column SO far as national cleo
tions are concerned. All this II seems
was brought about after the results
of the recent municipal elections
throughout the state were announced.
Outside of Cincinnati, Hamilton was
one of the largest towns in the south
ern part Of the state that elected a
Democratic mayor. Cleveland took the
lead in the northern part OF the state
by re-electing Tom l.. Johnson, Chill
licothe came in for its share of Dem
ocratic victory, and while Columbus
elected a Republican mayor, other and
| much larger Democratic gains werc
made over the preceding election.
Through the eastern part of the state
Democratic gains were noted, and be-
cause Of this. some do say that straws
| show which way the wind Is blowing.
JOHNSON LOOMING UP.
AS the foundation of most all poiit-
ical stories Tom Johnson's victory in
Cleveland over the Mark Hanna forces
form the base. In fact the recent elec-
ton of Johnson is now not only a state
subject, but II is assuming a national
scope. 1t Is q known fact in some
quarters that the visit of Mr.. Johnson
TO New York Immediately after his ie-
cent election was for the purpose, 1t IL
| said, of securing financial assistance
for the building of q number Of Scent
roads throughout the state, and par
ticularly in Cleveland, where Hanna is
interested in the same line, Of business.
Now comes Hanna to the capital city
and replies to the utterances of David
M. Parry, president Of the national as
sociation of manufactures. with head
quar- ters at Indianapolis. II is claimed
here l,y those who are In position to
know few things, that the utterances
Of Hanna last Tuesday evening when
he took such strong side with un-
ionism, portend that he will come out
for the presidential nomination In
1904. What effect this speech will have
upon his reelection to the United
/ States senate remains to be seen.
But, has the die been cast?

that the electric railways operating in

Slavery Of City Life.

1t is popular fallacy with young
America that the salesman, clerk and
bookkeeper occupy higher place in
the social scheme than the farmer or
mechanic. One of the deplorable con-
sequences is seen whenever a merchant
or manufacturer advertises for help CT
this kind and the applicants turn out
by scores and hundreds to get the
place ready to work at almost any
price. 1t would be found on ti-

promise of~easy life at large salaries
in the city. Nine in ten have no spe-
cial training or ability and II thrown
out Of place are as helpless as babies.
The salaries which looked SO large
from the country prove in the stress
Of city life to be mere pittanees.
Friendships, even acquaintances, are
impossible. At best the life is slavery,

The Poor We Have With Us,

great mass of hidden misery and

Christian hands. But we hear OF ono

Hattiesburg daily progress. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 18??-1909, 1903-03-24

1t would be interesting reading if
some one would get up a comparative
statement of the number of charters
issued in this state the past twelve
months and also the amount of CAPT
tai invested. Such a comparison
would open the eyes of many people
of the state. There is hardly day
that a charter is not sent to the COVER
nor for his approval, and these char
tiers in many, if not in the majority
of cases, call for thousands of dollars
above charters issued few years ago
and they are still "piling up" But
the governor is not too busy to sign
them, the attorney general takes time
to look over them and every progress
sive man in the state is proud to see
them published in the papers. Mis-
sissippi is getting next to prosperity
with greater rapidity than any other
state in the union, and it's long leaf
pine industry is doing big part of
the work.
