nRm Gulfpor' says that
pes has just complet-
etioI OF the entire
ID & Ship Island Rail-
he announces the fact
- Sle entire system is soon to be
equipped with new and heavier steel
rails and modern creosoted cross
ties.
Along with this announcement, Cap
tain Jones also expresses his purpose
OF purchasing a number of larger
locomotives and numerous handsome
cars. thus placing the Gulf and Ship
Island In the very front rank of South
ern railroad systems.
The Gulf and Ship Island has always
been progressive. 1t has been the
policy of Captain Jones from the star
to cooperate with the citizens alona
the line of the road in the devotion
ment of the country, and to this end
he has often gone considerably be-
yond the precedent established by
other great railroads by lending per-
sonal assistance to private enterprises.
Hattiesburg has been the recipi-
ent OF numerous courtesies at the
hands of Captain Jones. H has
taken personal pride in the develop
ment of the city and has Joined. other
progressive men in the establishment
OF numerous industries and CONNER
cial institutions.
It is consequently with feeling of
personal pride that Hattiesburgans
<have watched the development of the
Gulf and Ship Island, and this last in
stance of progressiveness is doubly
gratifying inasmuch as it indicates the
prosperity of the road and the terri
tory through which it passes.
II all Of the railroads entering Hat.
tesburg were as progressive as the
9ulf and Ship Island, the city would
Grow and prosper with even greater
impetus.

Tramp Evil a Spirit Of Chronic
Piracy and Must Be
Suppressed.
Depredations BY This Glass Be-
coming Altogether Too Nnm-

The The growth Of the tramp evil
Is becoming more noticeable every
year and the Ridgway incident is one
Of many emphasizing the menace to

citizens"
Everybody knows how numerous
tramps are and how easy it is for anv
vaErant., to secure high explosives in
country where they are more tre-
quent than In any other.
Stringent Laws Demanded,
But the real neglect in this matter
IL by the state. The tramp Is alwavs
a trespasser. He is most of the time
criminal. Every ride he steals is
theft. He fills the countryside with
terror. There is not a county In the
state along the main line Of any lead
ing railroad where the country roads
are safe for women.
Yet the state does nothing to sup
press this chronic piracy It shifts on
rattror corporations the public duty
Of keeping the peace. There is no
more jpatice in this than for a city

become the instruments of tyranny
and oppression, and a menace to every

grandizement Of the favored few by
giving them exorbitant rates Of inter-

pacity to administer their vested
rights in accord with the genius and
spirit Of American laws. Therefore
their franchises should be taken away
from them. How? BY the orderly
processes of twentieth century civili-
zat1on. Let the government pay these
fellows in cash the actual value of
their holdings. If they refuse thus to
negotiate. let the government under
its right Of eminent domain obtain the
property by condemnation proceed
ings. One of two things must be
true; these companies are amenable
to law or they are not. This business
of letting corporations go on trampling
upon the peoples rights until the az
gregate Of their transgressions shall
reach such proportions as to demand
a punishment OF SO millions Of fine,
Is travesty, not only upon law, but
upon common sense.
Peoples Interest Paramount.
We would not deprive these fellows
OF single thing that rightfully be-
longs to them. A public franchise /.
a trust to be faithfully administered
for the convenience, business interests
and prosperity of the people. That's
! Its main purpose. Private gain
though legitimate enough, within due
bounds, Is but an incident of sthe
franchise. When, as is the case with
the telegraph companies, the policy
pursued entirely ignores the purposes
| for which the law created them, thu
time Is ripe for their dissolution.

LABOR AND TEMPERANCE
REV. CHARLES STELzLE
Commends Tendency Of Organized
Labor to Gut Loose From
Saloon.

Comment has already been made in
one or two previous articles with ref
erence to the tendency Of organized
labor to cut loose from the influence
of the saloon. President Gompers' re-
port to the last. convention of the
American Federation of Labor strong
ly recommended that local unions hold
their meetings in halls free from sa-
looms. Central labor bodies have
passed resolutions. urging trades
unionists ito abstain from the use of
intoxicating liquor because of possible
injury to their fellow workmen, If for
no other reason. International unions
have also made similar appeals, to
say nothing about editorials in the
labor press. .,.< i. - -, 80
Announcement Is made that the five
officials Of the English labor party In
parliament are total abstainers. SO
are also the chairman and secretary
of the Trades Union Congress-, 20 la
bor members OF parliament, and 43
general secretaries Of trades unions. #
Sometime ago alta conference Of 30
representatives Of labor and 80 repre-
sentatives OF the employers in a par
ticular trade, 1t was suggested that
AL. hands" come into the bar-noom

man on the employers side agreed, but

invitation --28 were total abstainers. {

Longest Strike Ever Known.

To Germany belongs the distinction
of what is probably the longest strike
on record. At Solingen, in Rhenish
Sheffield, famous for it's cutlery, a
boycott was declared 81 years ago
against the Arm Of Oblinger & Co.,
which had refused to sanction the
piece work system. The firm hurled
defiance at the trade union, filled its
workshops with non-pnion men. and
so from that time forward things went
on until a few weeks ago. when the
trade union managed to absorb most
OF the non union men In a federation,
which at once called all the men out
from the firm, which had almost for
gotten that 1t was boycotted. Then
Messrs. Oblinger capitulated and
agreed to allow piece work and to pay
q war indemnity Now there Is
peace. sz f y; #S a.sss zz S ], 81

Depreciating the Evil.
It Has Won Tits Way Through
Energy Persistence and. Oonr-
aRe, and s. Has 7BuiIdod d Con

Taking the labcr situation in our
country today, two aspects Off it are
readily discernable even to an un-
trained mind. These 'are the "awak-
ening of the toilers'' and 1.-The awak-
ening of employers"
Cause of RestIessness.
There is no person today who can
combat the fact that all the restless
ness Of the toiling masses-though
attributed by certain capitalists to this
and that influence, is really due to the
rapacity for money getting Of these
self-same capitalists, and their refusal
to reciprocate with the men who are
making the money for them.
The employees see the Golfers Of the
employer constantly and inordinately
