of intrigue; they are the inspir-

A Crying Need.

The arrest Of four white boys in
Hattiesburg yesterday on the grave
charge of burglary again emphasizes
the need of reformatory for youth
full criminals in Mississippi.
An effort was made at the last ses-
sion of the state legislature to secure
an appropriation for this purpose. but
the bill failed to pass from some cause
or other, despite the fact that the best
newspapers and most representative
citizens of the state have time and
again urged the Importance of an insti-
tuition of this character.
Every town and city in the state has
at one time or another been confronted
with the question of disposing OF
youthful criminals. who are not infre-
quently boys of good parentage who
have drifted into bad company and VIC
lated the laws of the state. To con-
fine them in the jails with hardened
criminals or to send them to the
county or state farms as the law di-
reefs is wrong, for the reason that 1t
lessons their moral restraint and
sleeps their minds in degradation and
prompts them to emulate the criminal
careers of their elders.
To turn them loose on the commu.
nifty without punishment or restraint
is equally wrong inasmuch as it en-.
dangers society and imperils the flu
ture of the subject.
Most other states have long since
realized the need of reformatories and
provided adequately for their erring
youth, but Mississippi which has led
in numerous noteworthy reforms--has
neglected the duty.
The press Of the state should re
double its efforts to secure an appro
priation for reformatory at the next
legislative session, and the law-abid
ing citizens OF the state should join in
the demand.

Hollands last war was with Belgium,
in 1880, since the occasional rebellions
of chiefs in its East India colonies are
not entitled to the dignity of war. On
that occasion she upheld her character
and reputation. In a campaign of ten
days, she captured the capital Brus-
sells, and it was only owing to the
armed Intervention of France and Eng
land that she submitted to the separ.
alton with that country. At that time
both army and navy acquitted them
selves admirably; especially in the last
named branch of the service acts Of
heroism were performed which re
called the days of de Ruyter and
Tromp.

Let Haffiesburg
Go ForOord.

The lumber mills of the Hatties-
burg territory, primarily the basis of
our prosperity, are preparing to re-
sumo.
Well informed lumbermen say that
they will nearly all be running within
month, and that within six weeks
at the outside normal business condi-
tons will prevail in this city.
Bankers, merchants and business
men generally are optimistic over the
prospect for revival of all lines of
business in Hattiesburg. Some of
them even go so far as to predict that
business will be better this fall and
winter than during the flush times of
last year, and there is no good reason
for discounting the claim.
Even during the dull times of the
past ten months Hattiesburg has Jared
reasonably well. Building operations
have been temporarily suspended, but
there have been few failures and re-
turning prosperity finds the, CONNER.

Venezuela and
the Nefherion DIS.

AS was foreseen in these solumns,
the United States has agreed to let
Castro and the Dutch settle their
trouble by means of the big stick, so
long as the latter will hold to their
promise not to violate the Monroe doc
trine, that is, to seize and hold Vene-
zuelan territory. If, as seems prob
able, the Dutch infiict severe lesson
upon the arrogant dictator, it will have
most salutary effect upon other
South American republics.
The main offense of the American
interests in Venezuela was that they
favored the opposition candidate for
the presidency; that of the Dutch min
lister de Reus, was that he called
Castro dictator. There are always
two sides to question. In some of
our sister republics, wholly unripe as
they have proved themselves for self
government, temporary dictator may
be the proper man to effect a transit
ton from lawlessness to law and or.
der. 1t depends upon the man. The
perennial president OF Mexico Porfiro
Diaz, was doubtless dictator during
his first terms of office. yet he raised
his country from seething anarchy to
obedience to the law and the prosper
ity which it always brings.
But the majority of these presidents
use their Office to father their own
bank account, and Castro is type Of
the lot. His opponent is to him a
revolutionist and must be put out Of
the way, that he may perpetuate his in
come. Worse than the notorious Chi
nese Mandarin, his open palm is al
ways itching. and when people grow
tired of constant lubricating, he does
not scruple to violate pledges and
agreements. SO that investments un
I der such mans rule are never safe.
To man of this type, criticism il
