If everybody we're agreed, there
would be only one church; one po-

everybody would want to live in the
same country, the same state, the
same city and the same house. Every

every woman the some husband-and
then everybody would disagree again.
Honestly, we're glad that we're diff

For Organized Charity.

Editor Daily News:
Your editorial paragraph in yester-
days paper, calling attention to the
necessity for organized charity in our
rapidly growing city, was timely and
proper. Every community is made
m of various elements, the larger the
city the more varied the elements. or
a necessity there are many objects Of
charity in every populous city 1t is
fact, however, that Hattiesburg
doubtless hasias few as any places Of
it's size in the south. This accounts,
no doubt, for the fact that occasionally
the community is surprised and star
tied to hear of such case as that Of
Mrs. Roach and her three children,
reported in the news columns of your
valuable paper this morning The
point made in your editorial that this
case would certainly not have been
unnoticed and unprovided for had the
facts been known earlier by the Chris
tan people of the community is well
taken. What better evidence of this
could be given when It Is stated that
the ink was not dry on your paper be
fore active arrangements were being
made for the care Of the sick woman
in a local hospital, where most gen
erous rates were gladly made by the
kindly spirited physician owning the
hospital; the early removal Of the
ratient to that institution, the housing
and proper care Of the three little
chilklren by that noble band Of work.

or succeeded in debauching an entire
city government, as public service Cor
porations have done, when united, as
they always are, with those other cor
rupt and demoralizing influences.
"A few extreme Western States
have within the past few years done
more to advance the cause of better
city government than has been accom-
plished by all the other states put to-
gether. They have done this by grant
ing to cities the right to frame and
adopt by a vote of the people char
ter for themselves, and to have and
exercise self-government in all mat
tiers of purely local character.
IF with this power the cities of
those states do not have good city gov
eminent they have no one to blame
but themselves; and sooner or later
you may rest assured they will have
good city government--at least they
will have just as good government as
they want and are capable of main
tanning, and that will be definitely bet
ter for them. whatever it may be, than
the very best government that could
possibly be framed for them by some
one else.
1t took four years Of war to prove
to our own satisfaction that human
slavery was wrong and shoula be
abolished, even at. the cost of contis-
eating four billion dollars worth Of
property, the destruction in war of
twice as much more, and the sacrifice
of more than a smillion precious lives.
The problems Of municipal gov
eminent will be solved without any
of these sacrifices, and only at the
trouble and expense of conyicting d
few more Schmitzes and Reufs for
their betrayal Of the public confidence,

Hurrah for Oklahoma

The new State of Oklahoma has rat
flied its constitution by a majority es-
timated at 10000; passed twenty-one
year prohibition clause by $4,000;
elected a Democratic Governor by 49,
900, the rest of the ticket by $4,000
and will have two Democratic United
States Senators and at least three
Democratic congressman.
1t will be remembered that Secre-
tary Taft made a speech in Oklahoma
City, when he urged the Republicans
TO vote against the constitution, which
is modelled after that of Mississippi
and effectually DISTINGUISHES the me-
gro. Despite the advice of the Re-
publican boss, it will be noticed that
at least 10000 Republicans ignored
his admonition and voted for the rati-
fication
Mr.. Bryan made a number of
speeches in the new state, which he
says has the best constitution of any
state, in the union. 1t is said that it
was framed largely by Hon. T. p.
Gore, blind Mississippian who will
be elected to the United States SEN
ate when theSlegislature convenes.
At any rate, the new state has made
a good start, and it is doubtless early
destined to rank high among the
greatest of American commemorative.

Tn. NovsIi.t'. Mission.

The neglect of Disraeli's writings may be in part due to the fact that most people think it is below the dignity of a statesman or of any man following what is called a ''se- rious" profession to compose works of fiction. Certainly many do not yet understand that the man who writes novels may be very wise man. They do not realize that ac- curately to portray human nature and to present pictures of life is not only most worthy but also most difficult task, requiring for its per formance an intelligence far above the average acute powers of ob- seryation and keen sense of hu- nor, for surely the great novelist is the observer sounding the depths while others glance at the surface and examining the mysteries of life while others are content to over. look even the obvious.-Melviile's "Victorian Novelists."

STAGE REALISM.
humor and Courtesy of Irving In Re.
 ply to . Critic.


 The late Sir Henry Irving's fa. nous London production of "Hen. " VIII" ended with the christen. ing of the infant Princess Elizabeth. for which, of course, large life like doll was used instead of d real baby. The play had run good many nights when one day the actor received letter of protest from one who made it plain that he was firm believer in realism on the stage.
 "rhe complete success of Henry VIII was marred last night" the letter ran, "when the king kissed the baby. The whole house Uttered.
 "Herewith l offer the hire of one real baby-my own--for the pur- pose of personating the offspring"
 1t was a delicate matter for Sir Henry to decline the services of a mans own baby, but with the help of his manager, Mr. Bram Stoker, the famous actor composed reply which combined courtesy and hu- nor and which has been incorporat ed in "Personal "Reminiscences of Henry Irving"
 "Mr. Irving fears" wrote Mr. Stoker, "that there might be some difficulty in making the changes you suggest with regard to the Princess Elizabeth in the play.
 'If reality is to be achieved it should of necessity be real reality and not seeming reality, for that we have already on the stage. A series of difficulties then arises, any of which you and your family might find insuperable.
 ''lf your real baby were provided it might be difficult or even impos- sible for the actor who impersonates King Henry VIII. to feel the real feelings of father toward 1t. This would necessitate your playing the part of the king and further would require that your wife should play the part of Queen Anne Boleyn. This might not suit either of you, especially as in reality Henry VIII had afterward his wife's head cut off.
 "To this your wife might natural ly object. But even if she were willing to accept this form of reality and you were willing to accept the responsibility on your part Mr Irving would, for his own sake, have to object.
 By law if you had your wife de capitated you would be tried fo' murder. But as Mr. Irving would also be tried as an accessory before the fact he, too, would stand 1T danger of his life. To this he dis tinctly objects, as he considers the end aimed at is not worth the risl involved"
