Playing Politics.

An interesting game-this thing of
playing politics.
1t beats lawn tennis, crickett-or
even baseball all hollow.
If you doubt it, just ask the men,
bers of the present Mississippi legis-
lature.
For instance, take yesterdays pro-
ceedings.
The house bill authorizing the gov
ernor to increase the membership of
the Vicksburg National Military Park
Commission is called up in the SEN
ate. There's no objection to the bill,
not a bit of it. The members have
said so. But in comes the rumor
that Governor Noel will appoint ex-
Governor Vardaman to the place.
And here's where the politics get in.
Senator Gibbs, an enemy of the ex-
Governor, has the solution. He Of
fers an amendment requiring the new
member of the commission to be an
ex-Confederate soldier. Nobody can
object to that Nobody ,dares to-
The amendment passes, of course. But
the resolution-that's different. The
Gibbs amendment has raised the ire
of the friends of the Ex-Governor
And they forthwith proceed to kill
the bill.
But it was an interesting game.
1t was great
And nobody is the least bit hurt.
Say, how'd you Like to play politics

Democratic Prospects.

Democratic prospects are bright
and growing brighter all the time.
Even pessimistic Democrats are sit
ting up and taking notice over the
encouraging news being received from
the eastern and western, states, where
Republicans have hitherto presented
a solid front but are now hopelessly
divided The Indianapolis News, for
instance, says:
"That there has been, in the last
few years, something very like re-
volution in public opinion is apparent.
In 1904 it looked as though the Dem
ocratic party had been wiped out of
existence With a majority of $4,000
against it in Indiana, the man who
should have said that the Democratic
party might hope for a fairly equal
contest with its great adversely in
1908 would have been thought insane
And yet from every part of the coun-
try there are reports of serious Re-
publican disaffection. On the other
hand, the Democrats are united as
they have not been for years, and
they are becoming strongly convin-
ced that they can regain this year
much of their lost ground, and pos
sibly elect a president
However the situation is threaten.
ing for the Republicans, and that is
enough to know at the present time.
We know that in Ohio there has been
great fuss stirred up, and that the
two senators have been practically
ignored, and that the negro voters oil
that state are very sore. The situa
ton in Missouri is far from satisfac
tory. This state was carried by Mr.
Roosevelt four years ago. Even un
der ordinary conditions it would be
foolish to expect to win in Missouri
without hard struggle"

ing the hot air pipes are said to be
too close to the wooden Orders,
which have already been scorched by
the heat. The doors also open to the
inside, and there are other features
in the construction of Hattiesburg
school buildings that should be
changed.
The winter season is now over and
there need be no fears for the safety
of the children for the rest of the term
but the improvements and alterations
suggested by Chief Potter must be
made before the beginning of another
school season.
There are other buildings in the
city without adequate fire escapes,
and they should be required to COM
ply with the law.
Delays are certainly dangerous in
this respect, and personal friendship
should be laid aside by the officers.

Guarding Against Fire.

Much is being said in Hattiesburg
Just now on the subject of guarding
against fires. Recent serious con-
flagrations. here and elsewhere, it
seems, have aroused the public con-
science to a full appreciation of the
value of a well-equipped fire depart
ment, ample water supply and other
accessories.
All of this agitation is well. 1t
ought to have been urged even soon
er, but it is better now than never.
AS most citizens know, Hattiesburg
has an excellent fire department for
a city of its size. This has been ma
teriaIly improved during the past
year, and the money thus invested by
the municipality is already paying
handsome dividends in the way Of de-
creased insurance. Some of these ap-
preparations have been opposed by the
low-pressure element, and it is pos
sibIe that even more would have
been accomplished toward the i'm
provement of the service but for this
sentiment.
From what the Daily News can
learn, the department needs an en-
CINE of large capactiy-one that could
be used in an emergency similar tt
that at the Newman mill the othel
day. 1t is possible that Chief Franl
Potter can suggest other equally i'm
portant needs, and to this end h
should be given the largest possible
latitude by the city council. Any
thing that will add to the efficienc!
of the fire department at reason
able cost will ultimately prove gooC
investment.
There is also a disposition on th'
part Of the city authorities to re
quire more rigid inspection of public
buildings. And this is most com
mendable.
Chief Potter recently made a de
tailed inspection of the public schoo
buildings, and the Daily News under
stands that he found them far from
satisfactory. In fact he said in hii
report to the city council that thu
heating apparatus for one of the build
ings wac very similar TO the one uses
in the structure burned at Collin
xooc Ohio. where fl children 'oa

JACKSON CITIZENS
AROUSED TO ACTION
BY NOEL'S MESSAGE

Jackson, March Ex-Governor
Noel's special message to the legisla-
ture relative to the drainage from
the tuberculosis camp at the Missis.
sippi Insane Hospital gave the citi.-
zens of jackson rather bad scare.
The governor pointed out that, under
ordinary circumstances, there is no
danger of an infected water supply
from this source, as the creek into
which the sewerage from the camp
is dumped flows into the river about
$50 yards below the intake of the
water works plant but nevertheless
during high water periods there is
some likelihood of the city's water
supply being contaminated.
The hospital authorities, however,
will not wait for legislative appro-
priation for the removal of the dam
ger, but have decided to re-arrange
the drainage from the tuberculosis
camp in such a manner that it will
be carried in creek emptying into
the river more than half mile below
the city's intake pipe. This action
was decided upon today in order to
remove any apprehension that may
be felt by the public.

LUMBERTON ESTIMATES
FIRE LOSS AT $4,000

Daily News Special.
Lumberton, Miss, March 1S.-A
disastrous fire occurred here today.
The fire originated in the east end of
the dry kiln of the Camp & Hinton
Company, and with great rapidity
spread over the entire building From
the dry kiln it spread to the machine
shops and rough shed, destroying
them completely.
A heroic effort was made, at first,
to stop the fire, but this was seen to
be impossible, and the men turned
their attention toward keeping it
from spreading to the planning mill
and saw MILL By hard and constant
fighting this was accomplished.
At this hour, D. m, the fire is I'M
der control, though burning lumber
and parts Of buildings already in
ruins No further danger is feared.
1t is stated on good authority that,
had It not been for the splendid water
service of the town, as we'll as that
of the company, the entire mill plant
would have been destroyed, estimated
to be worth half million dollars. As
it is, the loss is about $4,000, includ-
ing the lumber, worth at least So.
000
1t is not known whether the dry
kiln, machine shops and shed were
insured or not; but there is about
! six thousand dollars on the lumber
to be pro-rated among fourteen com
panies, the American and Central OF
st. Louis, carrying the greatest risk.
Almost constant communication
has been kept up with Mr.. Robinson
receiver for the company, in New Or
leans, since the fire was discovered
1t was reported at 6 o'clock this even
ing that 1t would be Friday before Mr.
Robinson could personally inspect the
damage to the plant. Until he comes
nothing can be known as to the futur,
operations of the mill, or the dispo
sitioh of the property. 1t is be
lieved, however, that the parts de
stroyed will be rebuilt and that tn
mill will run on as before.
