Calls Us a Baby.

Happy Hattiesburg has just been
up TO her ears in the joys of a one
ring circus and yet she is still cry
ing for street cars and lumber indus
tries" says the Gulfport Journal.
Give the baby a street fair.-Vicks-
burg American.
Now wouldn't that freeze your chin
whiskers?
If Hattiesburg is a municipal
baby" then what do you call Nicks-
burg. which made city pretentions
long before Hattiesburg was given
place on the map. and which could
now be hidden away in one corner OF
Hattiesburg without appreciate
change in the looks of the place?
Hattiesburg has grow from village
of a few dozen inhabitants to a city
Of more than $4,000 population in less
than ten years. Vicksburg has been
creeping along for nearly a century
without ever having exceeded the 20
OOO mark in a federal census.
If Hattiesburg with lis $4,000 pro
gressiye people, its magnificent build
ings. miles and miles of paved streets,
mills and factories, must be called
municipal baby" just because it has
sprung up within the past ten years
then Vicksburg with age and conserv-
atism. moss and mud. must be the mu-
nicipal grandmother" in her dotage.
But the editor of the American can
be excused, perhaps, for the reason
that he has never seen Hattiesburg-
and that he is consequently unaware
of the injustice he does us in compar-
ing our town with babies and other
small things.
Wen show him a birdseye view of
when we 90 over to
Vicksburg TO attend the meeting of
the press association next spring.

SIX Tigers
ARE LANDED
Deputy Sheriff Dan McGiIvary
Was After Illicit Vendors
of Liquors Yesterday.

Deputy Sheriff Dan McGilvray went
tiger hunting yesterday and met with
his usual success
He succeeded in landing six and is
of the opinion that he has the neces-
sary evidence against them.
The arrested parties are all negroes
and their names are as follows:
Webb Smith. a hackdriver.
Dixie Lloyd and his wife, Maggie,
three cases against each.
Mary Ford.
Jim Jones, a former cook at the
Windsor.
Ed Lyons.
Some of the cases will be tried in
Justice Wallis court this afternoon,
but it is not likely that all can be
finished in one afternoon. as some of
the negroes have employed counsel to
defend them.
Deputy Sheriff McGilvray catches
more blind tigers than any other Off
Ger in Mississippi. His record for To-
eating the willy operators of the out
lawed traffic is second to none. He
knows how to locate them and he has
done much to put down the operations
of blind tigers in this city and county.

A Reasonable Profit.

In his speech at Baltimore recently
Mr. Taft said:
"The Republican party is in favor of
and is pledged TO a thorough and gen.
uine revision of the tariff on a we'll
understood principle and that is that
every industry, every product Of the
farm the mine or the factory in this
country shall be protected against for
eign competition by a customs duty
equal to the difference in the cost of
production here and the cost Of pro-
dgction abroad. That includes three
elements and perhaps more, but three
certainly-the cost Of material the
cost Of labor and the manufacturers
profit or the interest on capital"
Discussing this declaration from
the candidate OF the Republican party
for protective tariff that will guar
antee "a reasonable profit to the
American manufacturer, the New
York World pertinently asks:
why not a law to guarantee the
railroads reasonable" dividends?
Why not a law to guarantee mer-
chants and tradesmen reasonable"
profits? Why not a law to guarantee
farmers a reasonable" profit on cat
tie, eggs and milk? Why not a law
to guarantee landlords reasonable"
surplus of rents over expenses? Why
not guarantee everybody, laborer,
clerk, salaried man, sweatshop girl, a
reasonable" something more than

is patented a factory for the manu-
facture of these new match boxes will
be erected in Hattiesburg. There will
be plenty of people who will want to

The general adoption of this con-
trivance will save the waste of a vast
amount of matches and may prove a
blow to the match trust.
