ut must be a policy consistent with

tional and local, may be completely
rcdressed.
Special interests must keep their
hands off the government in city,

lohbies which have been maintained
in legislative halls, the efforts to per-

wherever there are public rights

power, these must be safegnarded and
protected from spoilation. Wherever
the public grants a privilege 1t must
be upon consideration OF the common
benefit and under conditions which
insure to the public proper return
for the grant. We must guard our
ranges, our coal deposits, our public
land. our forest treasures by suitable
restrictions, No selfish interest must
be permitted to seize with covctous

they must be subject to regulation. 1t
must be taken as firmly established
that the evils Of rebating and Of un-

atcd and that adequate and impartial
service upon reasonable terms must
be insisted upon. There must be ma

requirements OF impartiality and rca-

tive powers for the attainment Of
these objects.
1T is also essential that there
should be efficient supervision Of the
issue OF securities to avoid the evils
OF imitation and Of over-capitaliza-

I'm our legislation and administra-
ton, we must favor no class but pro-
tect the interests OF all our citizens.
While the nation may devote its pow
ers to this end so far as matters are
within federal control, our state gov
ernments and local communities must
not miss their great opportunities. In
the use Of all these powers, accord
ing to their constitutional distribu-
ton, for the development OF Our re-
sources, the encouragement OF agri-
culture, the improvement Of the con-
ditions OF labor and the safeguarding
of the freedom Of commerce, we
shall progress toward the attainment
of the aims Of liberty. Let us realize
our mutual dependence and rejoice
with Washington, not in power, but
in service, not in distinction, but in
duty well performed, not in what we
kxve gained, but in what we have

Editor Daily News:
. The Commercial Club has endeav-
ored for months to snaugurate "get-
together" movement among the good
people of Hattiesburg and the several
public meetings during the past few
months have been well attended by
the citizens generally. This "get-to-
gether'' tendency all over our South
ern country is exceedingly gratifying
to note. for this ''getting together and
discussing matters of interest to the
community means advancement for
their respective locations.
This is what we have been urging
for months and this is what we
would urge now with all the earnest
ness and seriousness at our command

This tendency for "getting-togeth-
