Refuse to Pay.

Subscribers of the local exchange of
the Cumberland Telephone Company
who have refused to pay the exorbi-
tant rentals which the company is
seeking to collect will please bear in
mind that the delay in the considera-
tion of the question is not the fault of
the city council, but that the meeting
has been postponed at the request Of
Mr.. Hume, the general manager of the
concern.
Local Manager Hay recently an
nounced that he would not discontinue
the service of patrons who refused to
pay the higher rate until after the
meeting of the council on September
25. Since it is the fault of his COM
pany that the council will not meet to
consider the matter until next Tuesday,
it is only fair that subscribers be CIV
en- still further time.
Hattiesburg telephone patrons who
do not care to be robbed will doubt
less resist payment until the matter is
settled, even if it takes all the year.
In this connection, it is perhaps not
amiss to say that City Attorney Ellis
has looked up the law on the case, and
that Hattiesburg patrons who have
been overcharged by the Cumberland
Telephone Company can not only col
lect the difference between the lover
and the higher rate, but DOUBLE
THAT AMOUNT.
And the double penalty should be
enforced.
The city council should accept no
compromise-and the mayor should
see 10 it that there is no further delay
in the consideration of the matter.
Unless Mr.. Hume is here Tuesday
night, the council should go ahead
with it's rat-killing."

~ the sheriffs of the counties in which
at exists, he will call out the militia
and if necessary, ask for Federal
troops"
Such talk from the chief executive
of the state is idle and ill-becoming. In
fact it is almost mischievous.
If there has been any night riding
in Mississippi, this newspaper has
failed to hear of it. In a few isolated
instances, it is said that warming no.
tees have been posted on cotton gins,
but only one arrest has been made,
even for this offense.
An aged farmer, residing in the vi
cinity of Winona and generally re-
garded as simple-minded, if not bug
house, has been charged by the gov
eminent with sending such notices
through the mails.
Governor Noel would hardly call out
the militia to arrest this simple-mind-
ed man.
And he would hardly ask the Federal
government for troops to suppress
a few mischievous boys who are said
to have posted notices in Jones
county.
But such talk is absurd.
There is no night-riding in Missis-
sippi, and there is not the least dan
ger of shuch lawlessness in any part
of the commonwealth.
1t is, therefore, poor advertisement
for the governor of the state to be
jumping around the country, having
himself interviewed as to what would
occur in contingencies that are not
likely to arise during his incum-
bency.
Somebody should plug Governor
Noels talk tank, else he should be
to stay at home until he
knows how to behave.

NetU York HeraId's
Latest Figures.

The Chicago correspondent of the
New York Herald says that there is
marked contrast between feeling in
the Republican and Democratic head
quarters in Chicago. In the Demo.
cratic camp there is jubilation; in the
Republican camp there is a chill and
nervousness, and inactivity.
Discussing the changed and chang
ing conditions-changes favorable to
the Democracy-within the past two
weeks, the Herald correspondent
makes some new figures on the presi-
dental outlook. New states" says
the correspondent, have come into the
doubtful column, and new states are
being added to the list of surprise
states, and it became necessary to re-
wise the table of states that Bryan
and Taft are reasonably sure to get.
and to make a new classification of
the number of votes each will have
to gain from the doubtful list in order
to get the necessary 242 votes in the
electoral college.
1T should be said. before making
this classification, that the data on
which it is based comes from both Re-
publican and Democratic sources. That
is to say, there is no question in the
minds of either Democrats or Repub-
licans that the classification based on
conditions today is correst."
The correspondent then makes
comparison of the previous figures
presented by that paper and those of
today, as follows:
Total vote in electoral college Asa.
Necessary to elect a president 242.
Republican reasonably sure FOG.
Democratic reasonably sure 161.
Doubtful 116.
Taft to win must get doubtful
votes) SO.
Bryan to win must get doubtful
votes) 81.
The situation today appears to be as
follows:
Total votes in electoral college 4S3.
Necessary to elect president PAP.
Republican reasonably sure 165.
Democratic reasonably sure 161
Doubtful 157.
Republicans to win must get doubt
full votes) n.
Democrats to win must get doubt
full votes) 81.
Concluding the correspondent says:
THE states which have slipped into
the doubtful column since the notifi- |
cation of Mr.. Taft and Mr.. BRYAN.

THE BUILDERS

Office building have the roof floor in
places, so that the huge cranes which
reach out with their long arms and
swing the heavy pieces up five stories
from the ground are now at their
greatest height.
The most modern type of construction
is eXemplified in the Los Angeles fed
eral building, and the cranes are the
best that money can buy. Each has it's
own stationary engine. The engineers
control the work so perfectly that the
watcher, who does not always see the
signals, marVels at the speed with

the plans of the structure in his head,
directs the crane arm toward the sec

The iron workers, who toss the red
hot rivets around as though they were
only mothers dOughnuts, work up on
the heights with no more concern than
any man on the street, which may be
twenty stories below. On the new
postotfice it is but five stories, but the
novice who attempts to cross on the
beams finds the experience as shady
as travelling in a balloon. Not every
one can make his way about with free

at the extreme top of a high beam as
freely as he would board street car

stranger to Los Angeles theatergoers.
although her father "Teddy'' Webb, is
well known here. Miss Webb created
the part of Marjorie Daw in THE
Gingerbread Man" Since then she has
scored other triumphs in other roles.
In THE Land of Nod" she plays the
part of an S-year-old child, an imper
sonation made possible by her diminu-
tive stature Miss Webb being only 4
feet, 6 inches n height. Her predeces-
sor in the role was Mabel Barrison, and
in Denver, where both Miss Webb and
Miss Barrison have been seen in the
part, the critics declared her work to
be a distinct improvement over that of
Miss Barrison.
