Methods of a Corrupt Trust

Herman Ridder, the publisher of
one of the most conservative and
hence one of the most influential of
the large daily papers, who was hon
ored by being elected president of the
American Newspaper Publishers as
ISOLATION, brings the following grave
complaint againsts the Paper Trust:
1.-THE largest paper manufacturer
in the world-the International Pa
per company with a capital exceed
ing $50, 100000 does gross annual
business of only $21,000,000, thus re-
quiring three years to turn over its
capital. 1t has watered itself until
it has no more money to invest. 1t
has borrowed upon everything it has.
It cannot earn any more money un
less it can do more business, and
can not do more business because 1t
has not the money with which to do
it.
Instead of accepting its RESPONSE
bilities and extending it's business to
keep pace with the growth Of its
customers, the International Paper
Company is producing less paper to-
day than it turned out Immediately
after it's organization. The available
funds at it's command which should
have been used for new paper ma
chimes, have gone toward the acquire
ment of 1857 SQUARE MILES of
timber limits registered in one OF
the four land offices in the province
of Quebec, Canada. To maintain that
concern and it's allied combinations,
with their oppressive weight OF
overcapitalization, and to provide a
pretext for protecting the labor Of
$4,000 mill employees, receiving less
than 100000 per annum, the pub
fishing business has been subjected
to a series of deliberately planned
schemes of extortion."
Such an arraignment coming from
such source deserves attention
Punish the frauds by removing the
tariff on paper and by maintaining

i. lesson to men who are much in neet

The Shoe Begins to Pinch

All or nearly all the novels on the
Civil War times represent the negro

were written either to arouse or in
response to a sentiment in favor of
the black race, Thus the negro re-

viewed from distance. Upon closer
acquaintance the aurele disappeared
and he was tolerated but not made
welcome. y

Reuiew of the Week

The News is exceedingly anxious
to make this column more beneficial
to Hattiesburg and more interesting
to it's readers by noting the citys
progress. In furtherance of this pro-
ject, the writer made arrangements,
with some of our most progressive
citizens for a weekly account of what
is doing NJ. ]. Epley promised to
let us know what is doing in real
esate; but it is easier to catch bird
by putting salt on it's tail, than to
catch the flying coat tails of that

office. a number of buyers claim
his attention and other people must
wait. Another gentleman who is III

what is to Hattiesburg's interest, V.

PRESSED by the guest and his hosts.
Such events cannot afail to impress
he North with more just opinions of
Dixie land. Mississippi especially
has been badly misrepresented and
wronged but the time has come when
the state will receive justice and
wrongs will be set right.
New York and its adjacent terri
tory has just passed through finan-
cial disturbance, the result of reck
less speculation and, perhaps, OF
frenzied finance. 1t made little or no
impression upon the solid business in
terests of the country. The New
York Stock Exchange has obtained
tangible proof of the divorce between
legitimate and speculative enterprises
very much to the advantage of the
former. Lessons like these exert
more influence upon restraining ILL
cit schemes than all the things for
mulated by theorists.
With the exception of Secretary
Taft who will soon be speeding home
ward, the President and his official
family are reunited at the national
capital. 1t will not be long before
Congress assemblies and the strenu-
Gus life begins once more. We may
expect interesting discussions upon
the grave problems calling for solu
ton. With the elimination of the
lobbyist Congress has assumed a
more dignified appearance-more in
accord with the formidable growth oil
our nation.
Europe is quiet. The marvellous
fight for life by the aged Emperor
of Austria has created universal sym
pathy for probably the last scion o.
the Hapsburg house to die in the i'm
