Editor Daily News:
Please give me space to utter few
words of complaint against the electric
light service and the manner in which
it is carried on in Hattiesburg. In
the first place there seems to be no
limit to the voltage and no way in
which a man is protected from having
his lights burned out. At night when
many places that burn electricity in
profusion are closed down, the par
ties still using lights at that time get
all the surplus current formerly used
by those closed, thus forcing more
than the globes can stand. What is
the result? Something has to burn
out, and it is usually the globes or a
delicate motor, If one be running. In
three-fourths of the cities and towns
of any Importance in the country, the
light company replaces all burned and
broken globes If the old ones be sent
with the request. We will mention
several of the cities in Mississippi
where this custom is in effect, viz:
Meridian, Jackson, Vicksburg, Brook
haven, Canton, Columbus. Greenville,
Aberdeen and many others. Why does
not the light company do this in Hat
tiesburg? 1t is certainly true that the
cause of the burning out of these
globes is due to inefficient service or
else something is radically wrong with
the. operating department.
know of firm in Hattiesburg that
} is compelled to pay from SO to IS pei
! month above their light bill for globes
besides great amounts for reminding
armatures and repairing motors. II
this right? Why not replace these
) self-destructed globes if their power

MERCHANTS STILL BUYING.

NEW YORK, Mar. 3.--Fully 1000
additional buyers for merchantile
houses in the West and South are
expected in New York this week to
make purchases for the spring and
summer seasons. Thousands Of buy
ers have visited the city in the past
few weeks and their purchases have
shown that the financial furry which
spread over the country in the fall IS
entirely past. From all over the
country come reports Of increasing
good times and the prospect OF COM
mercial prosperity The buyers re-
port that business is daily increasing
and that in most western cities the
business Of January and February
far exceeded thet Of the same month
last year. There is not one of the
western buyers in town who does not
believe that this years business will
at least equal that Of last year and
most Of them go on record as predic-
ting better business in both whole
sale and retail lines than last year

PANAMA CANAL.

Bronzed and muscular, like most
Americans who work on the Panama
Canal, and retain their health, Lieu
tenant Colonel George w. Goethals,
chief engineer of the Canal Commits
sion, has spent busy month in
Washington, Boston and other parts
of the country, looking up details in
reference to his work.
1t makes one feel like throwing his
hat in the air and hurrahing to know
that in January, 1908, 100000 cubic
yards were excavated; for the best
results anticipation year ago was
not over million yards. The work
on the Gatum Dam is progressing
and the concrete for the lock walls
will be laid early next year. The ex-
cavation Of the Pedro Miguel Lock
is being pushed vigorously. Over 2
million cubic yards were removed

during December, and all new work

| Everything is going swimmingly, and
with sanitary conditions still improv-
ing, the Panama Canal seems very
hopefully on the way to rapid COM
pletion.
Ii is, however, more than mere
engineering feat, for il is furnishing
Illustrations in sociological develop
ment in the modes Of handling an
army OF $4,000 men 5000 of whom are
skilled Americans and 1000 laborers
from North Spain and Italy, and the
rest negro labor from the West
Indies, They are all well housed and
well-fed, and all alike express regret
that 1915 will come too soon to wit
ness the completion Of the greatest
canal known in all times.
Colonel Goethals inspected the
Charles River dam in Boston, and
was especially interested In the roll
ing lock gate, which may be adopted
in Panama. II is likely that during
the winter large number Of congress
sional parties viii visit the canal and
keep in touch with the work.
The esprit dc corps OF the canal
workers is marvel to all engaged
in other industrial undertakings; they
seem to realize that they are not only
working for wages, but doing some
thing to be recognized as patriotic
service in the years to come. This
is a distinction that no ordinary work
would confer. In fact, there is a
sort of free masonary among the
people who have even visited or look
ed upon the Panama Canal. Those
who have "been there once--especi'
ally if it has been during the last year
ARE all eager to 60 again. and are
determined to be present at the open
ing Of the canal, when the Stars and
Stripes at Colon will greet the Allan
tic, bowing to the setting sun there
and greeting the rising sun on the
eastern coast, where rolls the Pacific.

WHoLEsALING. A REMEDY.

The need OF wholesale houses in
this city is becoming more and more
evident all the time and it is believed
here they would do more to hx the
status of the city as a commercial
point and secure it the best transpor-
ton rates, than any one thing that
could be done just now.
There is good territory north and
south of the city, on the coast, and
up the Columbia half way TO Port
land, to support one, and even sew
eral lines, and their presence and
trade would serve as a check on the
businesses with which we have to
deal now and reduce the buying
stadnards so that the local houses
might make strong point in hold
ing the limit Of home trade and pa
tronage.
If we had had wholesale business
in operation here the chances are we
would not have lost the Tilamook
trade. The common-point rate ap-
plies to Astoria, via the long haul
from the East, on everything except
-four and grain, and nothing will bring
the exception within the general rule
so quickly and completely as the
founding and hourishing OF whole
sale business.
There are plenty OF waterfront
sites for the convenient location OF
the business; and the up-rearing OF
one house will be the signal for the
rapid installation of other lines.
What we do not do for ourselves,
with our own money, lands and in
itiative, will be done by Portland, or
San Francisco, or Seattle, as last
as the far-seeking merchants OF those
centers realize the urgency and value
of the investment. Our own mer-
chants ought to be alive to the prom
ise of the situation and take over the
cream of it while they have it in their
own hands. 1t is either this, or an
nexation to Portland for commercial
purposes.

SOME MORE MARTYRS.

From the text OF the latest Chicago
dispatches il would seem that the
police OF that city intend to furnish
mankind with new bunch OF an
archistic martyrs; and they are go
| ing at it in fashion that is likely to
iorestall anything quite so radical as
the Haymarket riots Of long ago. The
horrible murder of the Denver priest
a few days ago has aroused the con-
sciousness OF the whole country to
the peril all men are in from these
misguided and abnormal broods OF
social malcontents and police orders
have gone forth in every great cen.
ter for their immediate rounding up
and accounting.
The anarchist, simple, genuine,
true, cultured, is veritable priest OF
peace himself; he longs for the full
ness Of life's best for all men and
holds his creed clean and clear OF the
crosser elements OF action and
thought; but the madness OF the
neophyte is what the world has to
fear; the man who cherishing these
lofty ideals, goes mad in the waiting,
and murders to remove the supposed
obstacles. The high type is rare, re-
firing and profoundly conscious that
time alone may point the way ne
dreams for the redemption OF society;
the low, the bestial type, IS oa the
ignorant millions and relatively as
numerous, without the restraint OF
educated thought, and the deterrent
influences of culture of any sort,
hampered and harrassed by the pangs
Of poverty and crazed by the differen-
tiations Of the social scale, wherein ne
is cast for the lower level and cannot
escape il
The mania is pitiable and bitter;
but all the same it must be controlled
with an iron hand, lest society, right
or wrong, be brought to a pass that
will be infinitely worse than It IS
charged with now by its profoundest
enemies, towit, the anarchists them
selves.

A FOOL POLICEMAN.

Next to ravening anarchist there
is nothing so dangerous as the police
man who does not know his author
ity and his business. No man, nor
woman, is safe from the mania OF
the one or the stupidity OF the
other.
Portland has furnished a couple OF
types lately that are notable TOR the
wide divergencies that exist in the
police-mind up there. The man who
killed his friend disguised and oper-
ating, in fun, as highwayman; and the
man who, without warrant of law, at
the mere suggestion Of grouchy
neighbor, enters the home OF re-
spectacle family, in the midst OF a
private entertainment, and kills the
host because he will not suffer arrest
nor abate the joy Of his friends.
The parable to be found in these
cases is worth the profoundest scru-
tiny of the commissioners of police
everywhere. The former shows the
officer in possession of his poise and
faculty as guardian of the peace and
dignity of the people and ready tc
do his last and whole duty in sup
port of their quietude and safety; the
latter shows an assinine density a!
to place and duty and performance
absolutely at variance with every rule
of protection, and goes to the othe
limit as a demonstration that will
