During the past several weeks the
business office of The Hattiesburg
News has turned down several hun
dred dollars worth of advertising
from Louisiana liquor houses. Most
daily newspapers accept this class Of
advertising and call it legitimate.
1t is true that there is no law
against publishing such stuff even if
the statutes of the state do prevent
its traffic. But there is a moral OBJ
legation which every decent newspa-
per owes 10 its subscribers, and The
News is glad that it has not yet been
compelled to barter its self-respect for
money. We prefer to be poor.-The
Daily News.
Hurrah for the News. God speed
the day when every paper in Missis-
sippi will outlaw whiskey advertise
ments. In all our newspaper career,
we have never contracted for a whis-
key lad but have repeatedly turned
them down. We would not take them
at any price.-New South News,

this realization OF the natural adj
yantages possessed by the harbor at
Gllfport that has aroused the citizens
of New Orleans and Mobile against
the Mississippi project-Battiesbu
News.
The citizens of Mobile are not wor-
rying about Gulfport and would like to
see the port built up, many Mobile
people having business and property
interests there. In considering what
the government does or is expected
to do for a seaport in the matter of
harbor improvement, the return on the
investment must be recognized. In
other words, the expenditure should
be justified by the commerce. Gulf
port gets its share of appropriations
and Mobile and New Orleans get their
shares based upon the position of the
ports in their relation to the national
trade.-Mobile Register.

institutions who real orphans or. at the least
half orphans, gained entrance past the mystic
portals of Joy at Madison Square Garden FROM

After the grand pageant with its vivid color1hs'
had svert twice around the arena, exactly 172
children had he picked up from the floor where
they had fallen in their excitement. Most of them

Despite the assertion OF Mr.. Carver of his

cidedly doubtful. still he said, he felt satisfied

At several points during the hearing Judge Houeh
took occasion to score the contesting parties for
their dilatoriness in bringing the matter final
issue before the Supreme Court. Mr. Carver
blamed the defendants for the delays but after MI
Whitney had diesented the Court said it no
reason why the case SHOULD not be finally adjudi-
Gated within the year. and that under the circum-
stances IT would be -iladvisable and unjust to re-
