WAGES REDUCED
70 PER CENT
Formal Statement Prepared for the
Press and Further information Is
Politely Refused-Prices Have De-
clined about 20 Per Cent.

AS will be remembered it was men,
toned in the Daily News that u NUM-
Der of mills in this section, especially
to the north of Hattiesburg were con-
sidering the matter of shutting down
entirely or reducing the wages OF the
laborers employed in them.
Yesterday a meeting of mill owners
was held in Hattiesburg in which 1t
is alleged that between twenty-five
and thirty mills were represented and
the matter is said to have been fully
discussed from both sides of the sub
ject and the following written state
ment was brought to the office of the
Daily News for publication:
"The mill men of this section held a
meeting in this city today and it was
considered advisable to reduce all
common labor 20 per cent.
This grows out of the great de-
cline in the price of lumber as it is
evident that many of the mills have
been operating their plants at a loss,
some mills having closed down entire
ly and others will be forced to fol
low suit or reduce wages as above.
"There has been something near
40 per cent. decline in lumber prices
which is responsible for the mill men
deciding on this course"
This was absolutely all the infor
nation obtainable about the meet
ing as it was said that there was an
objection to the publication OF any
thing further.

MORE RED TAPE IN
CxEMATORY MATTER

The city council varied the mon
otony of its assessment equalization
last night by going into the matter of
the new contracts required by Lewis
& Kitchen, contractors for the crema-
tory.
1t appears that these contracts en-
body the same things that were in
the contracts furnished by the city
and sent to the firm, but the Surety
Company which is to furnish the
bonds of Lewis & Kitchen to the city,
were not satisfied with the form in
which they were drawn, or rather 1t
was desired that the contracts be
made on forms furnished by the COM
pany.
After discussing the matter fully,
it was considered but right to con-
form with the request and the Mayor
and Clerk Farley were authorized
by the council to sign the new con-
tracts for the city. This was done
and the papers will be returned to
Lewis & Kitchen today.
The council then resumed the pleas
ant and agreeable task of passing on
the realty assessments and the re
mainder of the evening was delight
fully spent in this enjoyable pastime.
The council adjourned with regret
at IL o'clock and will promptly resume
the pleasures found in acting as 6
board of equalization at 1880 this
evening.

TEDDY IS WORKING
ON ANNUAL MESSAGE
REITERATEs HIS PROMISE NOT
TO RUN AGAIN.
Several speeches viii Be Made and
His Railroad Policy Is Among the
Subjects to Be Dlscussed--Another
Anti-Third Term Promise.

washington, September 23.--Word
reached Washington today that when
President Roosevelt returns this week
he will bring with him the preliminary
draft of his annual message to con-
gress. All members Of the cabinet,
with the exception of Secretary Taft,
will arrive within few days. A cab
met meeting will be held on the
Thursday following the Presidents ar
rival, when consideration will be CIV
en- to the recommendations the mes
sage will contain.
The cabinet will also discuss i've
speeches the President has prepared
for delivery during his Mississippi
River trip. Preparation of these
speeches was begun more than three
weeks ago. In the Judgment OF the
administration Officials who have been
at Oyster Bay, they are certain to con-
vince the people of the soundness OF
Presidents policies with respect to
railroads and corporations.
Mr.. Roosevelt will speak as plainly
of his purpose to punish the evildoer,
no matter how big or how little ne
may be, as he did in the speeches he
delivered at indianapolis and more re-
Gently at Providencetown, Mass. He
also will reiterate in detail his ideas
in connection with corporate and rail-
road reform, which now are pretty
well known. He will show further
that he has considered the PROPOSE
tons he advanced some months ago,
with respect to railroads and corpor-
ate reform, and the more he thought
them over the more he has become
satisfied of their necessity.
Reiterates "No Third Term" Vow
1t is expected the Presidents trip
will have an important political effect,
though it is denied absolutely the
President has any political purpose in
mind. He is concerned merely with
the development of a sentiment which
will insure the passage by congress
at the coming session of legislation he
believes is absolutely essential for
the good of the people. 1t has no
connection whatsoever with the plans
of second elective term advocates,
for the President has said within the
last week his decision not to accept
denomination is irrevocable.
But where the President canmake
| friends for his policies and for Secre-
| tary Taft he proposes to do SO. All
along he has insisted that the policies
which he believes should be adopted
should be executed by man who has
equal faith in them. This man Is Sec
rotary Taft, and as he has said 1t pri-
vately to his callers in Washington
and at Oyster Bay, SO he will say it if
asked on his Western trip.
The message the President has
written will be subject to modification
until 1t is presented to congress in
December. 1t is not expected, how,
ever, the President will find it neces
sary to make any substantial changes

AUSTRIANs MUST VOTE.

Some months ago. according TO the
London Chronicle, Austria passed a law
giving its citizens the right to vote and
providing a penalty for failure to ex-
ercise it, Now no less than 40 coo
citizens are TO be hailed before the
courts for not taking advantage of their
privilege. 1t is said to be a certainty
that, in all cases where a legitimate
excuse, such as illness or unavoidable
absence, cannot be shown, fines will
be imposed.
Do you know that would be a very
good law for this country? Often the
loudest protest against misgovernment
comes from the citizen who thinks he
hasn't the time to spend in registering
and voting. He has absolutely no right
TO complain, because he hasn't chosen
to exercise the only method possible of
securing what he considers good gov
eminent Voting should be just as

much a business with the citizen as
going to his office in the morning, or
attending to any of the ordinary duties
of life.
The stay-at-hOme element is growing
larger every year. Many voters become
disgusted with both or all the tickets
i'm the field and refuse 10 vote for any
of them. Such people have the right
to make up a ticket of their own and
vote it. regardless Of party nominal
lions. In this way they can register
their protest, at least
Should the abIe-bodied citizen who
fails to vote be fined? We believe he
should be. The imposition of penalty
for failure to vote would be beneficial
in several respects. First, it would
bring about a really representative form
of government. There would be no
the choice of majority of the people.
Again, if the citizen knew he would
be obliged to vote or pay a fine, he
would interest himself in primaries. He
would decide that, if vote he must, he
would at least do his best to bring
about the nomination of candidates for
whom he could conscientiously vote.
And the result would be, not a repre-
sentative government only. but inevita-
bly, in the end, good government.
Finally, though not least important
is the fact that a penalty for failure
to vote would do away with the use of
and automobiles at elections
The party committees, knowing that
everybody would have to vote anyway,
would save the money now annually ex-
pended for carriages and for election
workers and so our elections would be-
come very much cleaner.

NEWS FROM ENGLAND.

The Manchester England Evening
Chronicle credits the following comment
on the drama in this country 10 VIII
liam Archer, the well-known dramatic
critic of the London Leader:
In America they have no censor
ship, and, as we all know, they wal
low in immortality. The theatre mir
listers solely to the most depraved
tastes. No decent woman goes to the
play in America, unless it be to an Eng
lish play, which has been filtered
through the Lord Chamberlain's office. -
The Herald believes with the New
York Dramatic Mirror. to which it is
indebted for the above quotation, that
Archer did not write it. If he did he
was guilty of putting in print a DELHI
crate and constituencies faIsehood. Mr.
Archer has visited the United States
and has attended theatrical perform
ances here. He has on occasion said
some very kind things about our stage
folk. and it is impossible to believe he
would be guilty of such an atrocious
misstatement.
The drama in this country is not all
We could wish it. 1t contains much
that is unwhOlesome, a little that de-
serves a harsher description. But the
vilest play that has been presented in
Salt Lake City in all the history OF local
stagedOm, a history extending over
fifty years of honorable endeavOr, was
written by an Englishman, George Ber-
nard Shaw. And the play was Mrs.
Warren's Profession" There is neither
excuse nor justification for this play,
and it is only fair to say that it can
not be regarded as a type of the Eng
Iish dramatist's work. We would much
prefer to hold up the sweet. pure,
wholesome Peter Pan" as a fitting ex-
ample of the work of our English cou-
sins.
Our theatre ministers solely to .he
most depraved tastes?" Why, if the
Englishman who wrote that could see
the audiences that flock to our thea
tres to witness purely American pro-
auctions, such, for example, as "The
Music Master The New York Idea, -
THE Lion and the Mouse THE
County Chairman, THE College Wi
dow" yes, and - Way Down East"
and 1.-The Old Homestead" and "Arizo-
ma" and similar plays he would realize
what a silly ass he is.
He is more than an ass. He is a
vicious liar who ought to be suppressed
Let him educate his own people up
above a taste for fool musical comedies,
the chief factors in the success of many
English theatres, before he undertakes
to correct evils in this country that
exist only in his diseased imagination.
John II. Bankhead now has the laugh
on his young friend, Richmond Pear
son HObson. HObson, it will be re-
memtered, defeated Bankhead for con-
gress because Bankhead was not
strongly enough in favor of an in
creased navy. Yesterday came the an
nouncement that, in accordance with
a primary held last year in Alabama
Bankhead is to be appointed United
states senator to succeed the late John
T. Morgan. Wonder what sort of faces
Hobson is making over the situation.
