ering southern democrats have been
held in line by the race issue. We
have not forgotten reconstruction,
worse than the war, the horror OF
modern history. in which white civ
ilization was threatened with eclipse
in the night of Authorization. We
have not forgotten the reiterated
threat of reduction of southern rep
resentation. And we are perfectly
aware of the pro-negro plank in the
latest national platform of the Repub-
lican party. But it is not the negro,
past. present or future, or the men,
orv of red war or black reconstruc-
ton. or unsisterly meanness to the
south. the Cinderella Of the nation, as
to representation, that keeps the
south democratic. The true eXplana-
ton of the solid south is that we be-
lieve Democracy is Americanism.
The Democratic party is the oldest
party in this country, It dates back
to Thomas Jefferson, our third pres
ident the Jefferson who wrote the
Declaration of Independence. Before
the civil war the Democratic party
governed this country most of the
time. It successfully fought the sec
ond war with Great Britain and the
Mexican war. The Democratic party
in the south has been the party of our
fathers. It is the party of the sons.
The south is more English than the
rest of the country. We pay more re-
gard to tradition. We are more An
glo-Saxon. While there are good
Americans in all sections, native
born and of foreign birth, because of
the small European immigration we
have more of the old stock and the
old ideas and ideals in the south.
Democracy is the party of equal
rights to all, special privileges to
none" At the south we believe this
creed the purest Americanism, and
hope to convince the rest of the coun-
try in the present and in future ma
tional campaigns

The Solid South.

Mr.. Taft's Southern tour is made,
according to that aspiring statesman,
to show our people that they are
a part of the Union" Considering the
role played by Virginia and other
southern states in the formation of
the Union, it is rather late in the day
to tell us this. If Mr.. Taft believes
that the south cherishes any hard feel
ings because of the result of the late
civil war, he is entirely mistaken. The
face of the New South is turned to the
future, not the past. That is the rea-
son that it is the Solid South.
This is the trouble with Mr.. Taft.
He can not realie that the south is
solid for reasons of patriotism. He
thinks-and many northern men and
papers think likewise-that the I'M
broken democracy of the south is dis
loyalty, a continuing protest against
the results of the war; that the south
is anti-Republican because it is anti
negro.
There is no doubt that many wav

CROSSES Of HONOR PRESENTED
To CONFEDERATE VETERANS

A beautiful incident took place at
the court house this morning, when
the local chapter of the United Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy bestowed
some crosses of honor on number
of the heroes of the Lost Cause.
The exercises were opened by sing
ing. after which there was prayer.
Mrs. D. B. Holmes then recited the
23d Psalm, following which, Rev. l.. e.
Hall made a short, but very appropri-
ate talk.
Mrs. Holmes next recited "The Lit
tie Branze Cross" and at the conclu-
sion. presented crosses of honor to the
following veterans: A. G. Anthony,
T. C. Boucher, j. T. T. Brown, w. E.
Fail, VIM. Jinkins. w. J. Pack, ]. G.
Rainer, ]. P. Sanders, D. o. Summer
and B. F. Tingle.
After the presentation of the crosses
of honor. a concluding prayer was
made by Rev. w. E. Fail. This makes

Hattiesburg Millionaires.

At least sixteen Hattiesburg citizens
who recently invested in the develop
ment of a Mexican mining property
are walking with an elastic step today,
and the smiles which they wear re-
mind us very much of the days when
money came easy in this town and
real estate rose in value so rapidly
that the man who traded a mustang
pony for a vacant lot and got some
thing to boot" sold his holdings before
the end of the year for enough to buy
a train load of Kentucky saddle horses
and to pay the freight besides.
AS stated in the News yesterday,
this Mexican mine which promised to
produce gold and silver in paying
quantities. and with which the before
mentioned sixteen or more Hatties-
burg citizens were already well
pleased has developed into a verita-
BILE bonanza. beside which the great
copper mines of the west pale into
pitiful insignifcance. Cadmium
whatever that isl has been discov-
cred along with the gold and silver
and telegram from the president of
the mining company brings informa-
ton that there is more than $500
worth of it in every ton of ore.
Just how many tons of ore there
/ is in the mine is a matter of specula
ton, but a billion tons would probably
be conservative estimate, as there
is a whole mountain of it with the eX
ception of the small hole where the
company has been digging.
But laying all jokes aside, ant
Speaking Of the matter in all serious
ness. it appears that the Hattiesburt
shareholders in this mine have falleI
into good thing, and the News con
graduates them most heartily on thei
good foreune.
Let us hope that they may still re
main citizens of Hattiesburg and tina
they may see fit to invest the profit
of their holdings in the development
of this splendid city.

president of the National Rivers and

favoring the Lakes-to-theGulf scheme,
will also pay attention to smaller
streams, such, for instance, as Leaf

Dear Sir-The fifth convention of

Congress, the formal call for and invi-
tation to which will be mailed to you

D. c.. December 9-11-12, 1908.
We desire, in advance. to extend
to you special and personal invita-
ton to honor the convention by your
presence. Also, to ask at your hands
the appointment of strong delega-
ton to represent your municipality.
This national convention, meeting
at the capital. composed as it will be
of representative citizens, cannot fail
to impress upon the members of the
United States congress the fact that
! a waterway policy, permanent and
| SO Iacirnd ond demanded
by the commercial interests of the
entire country. This organization has
enrolled among it's members some OF
the prominent commercial assocla-
lions of your city and some of your
most prominent citizens, who have re-
allied that the establishment, by the
federal government, of a waterway
policy, will benefit, not only their di'
rect interests. but every interest oil
the city.
The events of the past year have
furnished conclusive evidence that
the sentiment in favor of improved
waterways is rapidly spreading
throughout the country. This state
ment can best be illustrated by the
fact that, for the first time in our his
tory both of the great political parties
have included in their platforms
strong waterway plank. which com
mits the president to be elected il
November to equally as emphatic in
dorsement af the platform of this or
ganiation as has been given by Presi

It also commits every federal legis
lator who may be elected this fall tC

lev. which. put into effect will rapidly
and Systematically improve the de
serving waterways of the country.
We bespeak your careful attention
to the call which will be mailed OF

Special Correspondence to The Press
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. g.
The Pacific coast does not have a
monopoly on an migration ques-
ton that worries. The East has
one.
1t exists in the form of an an
nual influx of over 100000 South
ern Europeans. Two-thirds of this
vast horde, according to Represen-
tative Augustus Gardner of Massa-
chusetts, come to the United States
as contract laborerS.
Can you imagine, Mr.. Western
Workingman," asks Representative
Gardner, the hardship of compel
ing with contract laborers? There
is no objection to the better class
es of Europeans-they are de-
sired, but more than half a million
foreigners are coming in every
year that are wholly illiterate and
content to work long hours for one
half the wage of an American.
They live on a diet and in unsan-
itary conditions that would be re-
pulsive to one of our workmen."
But that is not the point to this
article There is an immigration
question on the Pacific slope.
There is another one in the East.
So far it has been impossible to
muster sufficient congressional
strength to pass a bill that will
eradicate either EVIL. The reason
has been that eastern congressman
know nothing about the Japanese
and the western congressman are
ignorant of any danger in Southern
Europeans.
Representative Gardner proposes
to solve both immigration ques-
tons in one bill. which he will in
troduce when congress convenes
after the holiday recess. He has
labored several years on the immi-
grafton question and has come to
the conclusion that no Roadway can
be made until a bill which will be
popular with East and West alike
is introduced instead of separate
bills covering specific and individ-
ual immigration evils.
The bill will hit Japanese immi-
grafton through a clause providing
for out-and-out exclusion.
A head tax of $40 and an educa-
tional test will be the weapons of
Representative Gardeners bill with
which he intends to discourage the
Objectionable class of Southern Eu-
ropeans. He believes the labor
contractors and steamship inter
ests will not be willing to take
chances on advancing that sum to
the immigrants. Nine out of 10
have nothing when they start. he
says. but are advanced fare, which
Is deducted from their wages after
they arrive. There is law against
the entry of contract laborers. Rep
resentative Gardner says the en-
ployment agents and steamship in
terests educate the immigrant to
maintain secrecy regarding terms

end of the league. The first game
with the Union Iron Works team
was fast and as interesting as the

on the slab for the Workers, was
in wonderful condition, gave only
six hits, struck out nine, passed
none. Joe Single tossed them for
the Cubs and, considering that he
was up against some great play
ers, proved the real goods, allow
ing but eight hits, passed five and
struck out one. Score, Ironworkers
