Marathon race, has been upheld. Hayes.
Of the United States was declared the
winner; Heneron, o. South africa. sec

This protest is based on the we'll
sustained charge that Durando col
lapsed 90 yards before the finish. and
was carried across the line by enthu-
siastic spectators.
The Americans charge ~urther that
Durando would not have bs IN able to
finish without assistance.

Girls on the Street.

There is a great difference in
girls as one sees them on the
streets, says the Ohio State Jour-
nal. Some are modest and gen.
tie and go along without attract
ing attor Son, except what may
be aWakeled by their graceful
carriage and pleasant faces.
They tell of good homes and
thoughtful mothers and gentle
breeding. They suggest likewise
good books, moral ideas and in
telligent associates. But there
are other kinds of girls who are
careless Of their conduct. They
are just a little loud, laugh a
great deal and chatter noisily.
They are rather empty creatures
who read only trashy things and
tnlk the same way. and are in
cllned to get recn.~.55 IN their
chatter about beauX. 1t is their
folly that attracts attention along
the street. Whenever they pass
a young man he turns and re-
CARDS them with a curious grin.
Really, if they were sensible,
modest girls. they Wouldn'tw want
the loafers along the street to
gawk at them and wonder who
they are and make some callow
remark to the other fellow. They
would want to go alongthe street
leaving a sort of underlined SEN
sation, if any at all, that there
goes a lady. These differences
the casual observer can easily
see, but really the gentle and
well-bred are in the great major
ity, while the loud and Inbred
are only exceptions; but there are
enough of them to excite disgust
among all true women and awish
among all true men that these
girls and young women would so
conduct themselves as to reflect
honor upon their sex.

BUSINESS MEN
SLOW IN PAYING
PRIVILEGE A
Hattiesburg Daily News.

Hattlesburg DAILY News.
Jackson, Miss, May %
Judging from the reports so far
received at the auditors Office,
there has been no great rush in
the payment of state privilege
taxes.
The present week is the last
in which this privilege tax must
be paid and as several changes
were made in the law at the last
session of the legislature, it is
barely possible some business
men may be subject to a priv
ilege tax who are not aware of
it.
Some of them. too. were very
much increased, and only a few
reduced. The suggestion is made
that all business men should look
over the new law on the subject
and learn if they are subject to
a privilege tax, as sheriffs must
collect heavy penalties in cases
where the required tax is not
paid during the month Of June,
and they have no discretion in
the matter whatever.

SLOW-BUT BETTER THAN NEVER

A little while ago there was a perfect fever on in this city looking 10 clean Illness. It was in the spring when these levers asssn naturally nearly every normal community. At Dawson, Fairbanks and other towns Of the interior where the spring Is much more backward than here, this fever came and went long since, spent itself tu good works and the towns have long been enjoying the results.
 I, is just three weeks since the Ladies Aid Society Of this city iu respectfully wordsd resolutions, asked the city council to name a day long past for this same work to bedone here and the request was answered in rather cavalier fashion with contemptuous running comment by some of the councllmeu. All that the Ladies Aid society at that time asked was that the council would give them the signal for united action. The resolutions were simply placed on file.
 Now tha, the summer is on. visitors are already crowding our streets and hotels, everybody is busy at something else, the council wakes up and expects the people to respond to its beck and call.
 The time to get results in a matter Of this kind is the time when the people are in humOr for it and advantage may be taken of that natural enthusiasm which goes with voluntary action and s desire to do the thing that everybody but the council seems to have known ought 10 be doue-at the time that It ough, to have been done. There is an old saying that 1t is never too late to do good, and the council is acting on that rather faulty doctrine. Let us try to revive our interest in the matter and go to it and clean up the city.

THE THINGS A NEWSPAPER DON'T SAY

To speech made by Ralph Pulits ger, oldest son oI the owner and general manager of the New York World, upon the occasion of the 25,h anniversary of Joseph Pull i,zer's proprietorshlp, a few days ago, was emphasized something which he says the World has always tried to realize and something which 1t Is safe to say the general public does not is worth rep,atiag. It was this:
 "we should never forget for an in- ssaut that one reporter thoughtlessly writing au inaccurate story may have i. iu his power 10 do more harm to some unfortunate than could the gov ernor of sovereign state; that one news editor heedlessly ordering GIs- taken crusade may have it in his power to do more irreparsble injury to inno- cent victims than could senator of the United States; that one editorial writer recklessly making and continu- ing an unmerlted attack may have iL in his power to blast a reputation and sbottara a rarerr mora uLteriy than could the president of the United States"

The order issued by United States Marshal Shoup, directing that the lid be placed securely ou "dance halls and bawdy ssloons'' in the first judicial dis trict as it has been placed in the other two, is interesting enough to us here as onlookers, but it does not affect us materially aud will make DO change in our lncomiugs and outgoings.
