Hattiesburg daily progress. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 18??-1909, 1903-07-21

There is more politics to the square
inch in Hattiesburg than there ever
was before, but it has not stopped a
saw, hammer, a nlaner nor the out
put of turpentine. The subject is
generally discussed on the street
corners and very often by men who
have nothing else to do. OF course
Hattiesburg has it's drones-there is
no town under the sun without them
men who live and have their being
without the least exertion of the
muscle or even the smallest brain
they possess. These are the politi-
clans, men who keep up with the agi-
tation, precipitate disputes, argu-
ments and even fights between friend
and friend if they can in order to
follow out the pursuit of their ma.
tural inclination. But the business
mantle bone and sinew, the life
and joy, the progress and prosperity
of town-does not stop to discuss
politics. His purpose is to hammer
white others harp. to push forward
while others pull back, to rub bright
the future of their city while others
ing politics with business, it's religion
ana it's social life. If all were poll
ticians and none business men we
would soon find it difficult to obtain
goods box on which to sit or TO
whittle.

1T is UP TO MONEY
jackson News).

The Hattiesburg Progress makes a
very serious charge against Senator
Money, who i, candidate for re-
election. Some days ago this paper
printed an editorial in which extracts
were given from report of con.
gressional investigating committee.
In this report one of the officers of
the company testified that Senator Fl.
d. Money who was then member of
the committee on postoffices and post
roads, was given a large block of the
stock, and that the company expected
to use him in getting bill through
congress invalidating the patents of
the Bell telephone company This is
very serious charge, in fact one of
the most serious that has been
brought against the senator, and it is
up to him to make some sort of reply
to it. The News does not know
whether it is true or not, but the
Progress quotes the page on which
the testimony of the official can be
found. The taking of this stock by
Mr.. Money, if he did do it, was
manifestly very improper for him to
do, and if he cannot refute this
charge he should be beaten. The
state will await the reply of Senator
Money to this chrage with good
deal of interest.
The News at the on set of the cam
paign announced for Senator Money.
1t warned him during it's progress
that he was making a mistake in his
crusade along with Vardaman, against
the negro, the chief tenant labor of
Mississippi. His persistence in such
a campaign lost him the support of
the Meridian Press, the Biloxi Her.
aid, the Vicksburg American and
scores of the ablest weekly papers in
Mississippi. The statement con-
tanned in the Hattiesburg Progress.
which was made on July Is, is one
under which Senator Money cannot
afford to rest. He owes it to the
people. of Mississippi to disprove the
fact that he as chairman of the COM |
mittee on postoffice and post routes re-
ceived sixty thousand dollars in stock
from the Pan-American Telephone
Company, which was pressing legisla-
ton before congress, through his
If he does not do this he
deserves not only to be beaten for re-
election. but the people of Missis-
lippi should demand that he resign

vas elected several years ago.

The Winona caucus, as has already
been stated by many papers, was All
absolute confession of Senator
Moneys defeat by Governor Longino.
1t has leaked out that the senator
himself in going over the situation
stated that nothing short of hard
work could save him. He might
have added that salt could not save
him.

FACTORIES INCREASING.

Hattiesburg is gaining a wide ant
favorable reputation and from presen,
indications it will in the course of 3
few years have the largest population
of any other city IN the state. The
newspaper man is in better position
to learn these things than anyone
else. The Progress receives letters
every day from parties at distance
inqniring about the city and asking
for few copies of the apper, and in
the most of these letters the state
ment is usually made that st expect

encouragement before it. A great

have been established here within the
past twelve months and there is

What difference will it make the
side defeated will swear that there
was fruad pTacticed by the other side
and that it was not fair election.
and then perhaps there will be a
farce of an investigation and the ms
will stay in and the outs will stay
out of humor for time and all will
be quiet again. But defeat follows
some people to the grave when that
and all their other shortcomings are
put under a ton of dirt.

ABOUT TO FLOP.

The jackson News is about to flop.
A nd no one car blame it. The News
is a good, conscientious PAPER and it
viii not knowingly support a man
nrft for Office for which he as
pires. The News, which heretofore
h been warm supporter OF Hon. Fl.
D. Money, says that if the charges
preferred by the Progress are t. ne,
Mr. Money should not only be de-
feated, but the people should demand
his resignation as their representative
in congress. All the Progress knows
about the Pan-Electric Telephone
deal is what was brought out in the
investigation by committee ap-
pointed for that purI ose, the record
Of which the Progress has in its
possession. DIR. Rogers, the head an
instigator of the fraud, stated in his
own words before the committee that
he gave Hon. Fl. D. Money, NJ. c.,
$50, 900 stock in two of the companies,
and further says, on page 90, . he
paid me just as those other gentlemen
in the senate paid me, by letting lie
use his name.''

POPE LEO DEAD.

The end came to Pope Leo XIII
late yesterday evening after intensely
suffering for many days. All Rome
the whole world-will sorrow at
the death of this great man. He
was the head, body and soul of the
Catholic church and the law-makei
ard dictator of millions of people
throughout the world. He was a
good man, the very best the church
could find and his reign was COM
plete success. He suffered like a SOL
der and died like martyr, beloved
and honored by two continents.
Some one will take his place at the
head of church, but it will be a long
time before he will be able to take
his place in the hearts of the people.

Thy scenes are cheering and glad,

TO join with loved ones gone before,
To part, no never, never more.
