ADDRESSES DELIVERED
DEFINING ITS PURPOSES
Society Maintains Numerous Hos
pitfalls, Open to People in General,
and Is Engaged in Other Charitable
Work-officers Elected.

Quite a number of our Jewish fell
low-citizens met in the Odd Fellows
hall at 2:30 o'clock yesterday after
noon for the purpose of establishing
local lodge of the Independent Or
der of B'nai Birth in this city.
There were three distinguished Wis
itors from Mobile who had come to
take part in the establishment of the
lodge and these gentlemen eloquently
explained it's purpose and object. The
visitors were Rabbi A. G. Moses and
Messrs. Leon Schwarz and Charles
Hess.
A number of visitors were present
from Laurel, Ellisville and other near
by places. The organization was eff
fected with a membership of thirty
five and the following officers were
elected
Herman Katz, president.
Harry Katz, secretary.
Louis Captain, treasurer.
N. Dreyfus, monitor.
S. H. Coplon, assistant monitor.
A. B. Lischkoff, warden.
Leon Dreyfus, guardian.
At o'clock an open meeting was
held and there were number of
visitors who came in. Eloquent ad-
dresses were made by Rabbi Moses,
Leon Schwarz and Charles Hess, ex-
planning the workings of the order.
The charitable feature was fully ex-
planned. The Jewish hospitals, main
tanned by the Jews, are open to peo-
pie of all faiths and are doing a great
work. The orphans homes are, of
course, confined to the Jewish faith,
just as are the homes of different de-
nominations, but it is a matter of CON-
mon knowledge that the Jews are of
a charitable disposition and hence it
is that their hospitals are open to all
They have large number of hospitals
in the United States, among them be-
ing the hospital for tuberculosis in
Denver, Col, and the Touro Infirmary
in New Orleans.
The local B'nai Birth will be the
lodge for the Hattiesburg territory
and the Jews of Ellisville, Laurel and
other nearby places will hold their
membership here. A good start has
been made and the newly established
lodge will no doubt do good work.

real estate, provides conveniences for
the inhabitants, substitutes access
Utility for isolation, makes the quick
transportation of commodities posi-
BILE. In opening up mines it gives en-
ployment to thousands of poor men,
sustains their families, puts money in
to circulation. In establishing and
operating factories it opens the way
for men and women to get work, to
buy in the local markets, to enjoy
some of the comforts of life. And the
farmer profits through it all, for the
increase in taxable property reduces
his own taxes, adds wealth to his
holdings, furnishes a market for his
goods.
There is a welcome for capital, there
fore, we say, down in the South. We
want the capitalist to come ahead
with his cash and to help along the
progress of rich section.
The Eagle seems to lay stress upon
the feelinf or Democratic legislat-
ors." Why put the accom- upon Dem
ocratic?" In Washington there is now
a president who has been railing at
capital for the past three years. He
has upset confidence, he has reduced
the buying and selling power of the
country, he has scared the money
world into a panic, he right now wit
nesses the after effects of his anti
capital crusade in the shape of a
business depression of the worst kind.
He is a Republican, not Democrat.
The Democratic legislators" of the
South are hard-shelled conservatives
with the socialistic radical
in the White House who, while preach
ing and practicing a sort of Socialism,
pretends to hate Socialism with all
the intensity of an impetuous and
choleric nature.
If the Eagle knows of any capital
lists who wish to invest their money
safely and well, let it send them to
the South. They will have every OPP
portunity to benefit themselves and
help their neighbors at the same time.

DIxON'S 1.-THE TRAITOR"

Hattiesburgans have seen "The
Traitor" heralded as the sequel to
Thomas Dixon, Jr.'s magnificent play,
"TheClansman."
AS a love story "The Traitor is
superb-full of absorbing interest
and Astounding in hair-raising eli
makes. There is a touch or two of
patriotic sentiment, easily discernable
to an intelligent Southern audience,
and which evoke merited applause
The acting isn't good, but perhaps
ranks the mediocre by a point or two.
But those who have seen THE
Clansman," Dixon's masterpiece, can
easily suppress their disappointment
in The Traitor"
The play possesses merit, of course
But is scarcely merits the packed
houses to which it is playing. Shorn
of the prestige of it's author, and de-
prived of the advertising which it re-
ceives as the sequel to "The Clans
man." it is probable that THE Trait
or" would fizzle out in a few weeks.

beat Speaker Cannon, set aside this
man, set up another and become mas
ter of the situation.
The World does not believe that
Mr.. Taft will listen to voices calling
him to the dictatorship. But the temp
tation is great and the pressure
strong to be hailed as adominating per-
sonality, man who does things" and
who compels all others to bend to his
will; to pose as the clubswinging
Hercules of modern times-all this ap-
| peals to men of limited reasoning ca
pacity and boundless egotism. Snowy
qualities are popular for time, but
the glamour is misleading-mere
stage glory. Real power is dissi-
pated by its continual assertion, and
fame is dimmed by notoriety.
Under the constitution the presi-
dent has great power and in the wise
use of it potent influence for good he
can recommend measures to congress
and can with propriety and effect
advice congressman. He can appeal
with tremendous force to public senti-
ment. But he is neither his party nor
the government. Congress also rep
resents both the dominant party and
the people. 1t has great power. and
if it choose to use it against an Of
fensive president can block his meas
ures and wreck his administration.
Reason, diplomacy, consideration for
the rights of others, dignified firm
ness, go further than big sticks,
threats, epithets, bullyings.
We need a constitutional president
exercising his powers with dignity
and discretion, not a spectacular mas
ter swinging a club and rending the
air with the horrid din of sham bat
tie. We have had more than enough
of the latter, and we feel sure that
Mr.. Taft realizes this.

SANTA CLAUS.

Some of the sober realists are say
ing that Santa Claus must go-that
the merry old patron saint is only a
myth-a fraud-a humbug. Such an
illusion, it is urged. is wholly out of
place in this twentieth century
Christian era.
Discussing the subject in it's usual
characteristic way, the Atlanta Georg-
ian says:
Down, down with the Robespierre
who would sentence this dear old
myth to the guillotine!
Such an act of ruthless violence and
of mean ingratitude would start a
revolution wider and deeper and fiecer
than ever Redeemed the lilies of
France!
But the head of Santa Claus is in
no danger.
IF it were, we could belt the globe
with the prayers of little children,
pleading for his life to be spared; and,
if necessary, there would reach forth
an arm from the clouds to stay the
uplifted knife!
$50, Mr.. Realist, in accents which
ring with the voices of little children
all over the globe and from the begin
ming of time, we give you this final
and emphatic answer-steeped in the
breath of the Christmas pines:
Santa Claus has come to stayl"

A HOLIDAY INNOVATION.

The Saturday Evening Post pub
fishes the following interesting and
valuable story:
"a travelling salesman had an only
son with whom he had been liberal in
the matter of spending money, and
'ather thoughtless. The boy began de-
veloping extravagant habits, and had
no appreciation of the value of money.
So the father made it rule that all
the spending money he got in future
must be earned. The boys mother
was made the employer, and regular
schedule of prices for definite chores
was drawn up-two cents a basket for
splitting kindling, five cents an hour
for hoeing garden, five cents a hun.
dred for collecting potato bugs.
This reformed the boy in one way,
for it made him ambitious. He got
out of bed early in the morning to
earn money. There was always big
pile of kindling on hand, and he kept
an eye open for odd jobs of all kinds.
But the reason he worked for
money was that he might buy more
or less useless things that he had
bought under the old arrangement. So
a saving plan was added to the earn
ing plan.
"The boy was permitted to spend
one-quarter of all the money he made
in his own way, without supervision.
Another, quarter went into a small
home bank, to be deposited in a saw:
ings account at interest. The remain
ing fifty per cent of his earnings was
kept back by his father, half to be
invested in books and half in tools
and toys.
Before anything was bought out of
this final fund, however, father and
son had conference and agreement
on articles to be purchased or books
selected. Thus the fund went chiefly
to the purchase of educational toys,
such as a printing-press. a scroll-saw,
a camera. No anticipation of pay
ments was permitted, nor any trans
fer of money from one fund to another
to hurry the consummation of a pur-
chase. In that way the fact that there
was surplus on hand did not kill
the incentive to work for an object"
1t is the special business of our saw
ings department to take care of saw
ings and earnings of this nature and
while being cared for they will be
earning interest at the rate OF per
cent per annum.
On making the first deposit of one
dollar we furnish you with small
private bank to take home with you.
You could not select a Christmas
present for any member of the fam
lily that would be more useful and
more productive of happiness than
this. We shall be glad to explain
more fully If you will call.

CAPITAL IN THE SOUTH.

According to Mr.. Taft the South
had a manufacturing capital of $780,
600, 900 in 1880. Now it has more than
$4,000 100000 This sum is large
enough to become a subject of soil
tude. There is a tendency among the
Democratic legislators of the South,
also on the part of Southern COVER
nors, to administer a cold chill to the
capitalist, TO regard him as a criminal
and to paralyze him. This tendency is
worth revising. Enterprise which re-
suits in change from poverty to af-
fluence would appear to be worth en-
couraging. Brooklyn Eagle.
Onr contemporary makes a mistake
here. There is no tendency at present
among Democratic legislators to re-
gard the capitalists as a criminal and
capital as something paralyzing. On
the other hand, the capitalist and his
capital are welcome. If ever there
existed prejudice against them it is
about gone.
Capital is welcomed for capital de-
velops. In developing a community it
helps every citizen of that community
In building railroads it adds value to

Travelling men say that the trade Of
Hattiesburg this season is better
than that of any other city in the
state. This is all the more remark

industry was paralyzed for several
months last year, and that all lines
of business suffered severely in this
immediate section.
