is, however, a fact that one of the
first questions asked by prospective
investor is about the municipal ad-
ministration; people do not care to
trust their capital in a place where
extravaganza is rife or where suspi-
cion rests upon the administrators of
public affairs. Such a showing as
was made at the last meeting of the
council will satisfy any bona fide in
quiries.
There may be an occasional dis
satisfaction at the postponement of
much needed improvements, but when
it is remembered how fast the city
has grown and is growing, the con.
fidence to which the council is en-
titled will lead to patience. Rome
was not built in day; this applies
to Hattiesburg. Everybody would
like to see the city assume a metro
politan garb, and it will come in
time, the sooner as we keep within
our means. Every year these means
increase and with them the power

tention.
Hattiesburg's council is entitled to
credit and should receive it from

In the sharp struggle between
. Capital and Labor both parties have
nganized. Instead of working to-
H. her for the common welfare, the
lines are drawn tightly and any
slight misunderstanding may lead to.
a. rupture causing untold loss and
misery. On the one hand, capital is
often grasping at undue profit, on
the other, labor sometimes makes
demands which capital cannot grant.
The Labor Leader, therefore, mas
duties and responsibilities which
require sincerity, integrity, and an
unusual insight of economic condi-
tons.
Such a leader is John Mitchell
whose sickbed will be watched with
sympathy and anxiety by the miners
whose interest he has defended brave.
~, and by capitalists who have learn
ed to respect and trust his scrupulous
fairness and personal honor. 1t is
these qualities which have raised him
to national representative; his
death will be a national loss. His
personal character as evinced in his
public acts has added to the dignity
of labor and impressed it's claims
upon a sympathizing public.
In the last great coal miners strike
in Pennsylvania, President Baer NJ
the Reading railrad sought public
sympathy by accusing the miners and
their leader of being anarchists
John Mitchell's figure doomed up as
a giant when he proved that, il
anarchism means the upsetting and
evasion of laws, it was the railroad
magnate to whom the term anarchist
might be applied. 1t was respect fol
and faith in John Mitchell which in
duced President Roosevelt to disre
gard precedent and to throw the
influence of his high office into la
boris scale.
Such man might have been rich
but he dies poor. There should be
a national appropriation to provide
for his widow and children. His life
was one that deserves emulation.
