MAKING GOOD.

That the Hattiesburg News, owned
and published BY Messrs- F. d. Land
er and E. r. Farrell. formerly OF Co
Iumbia, and edited by Mr.. Lander. is
making good under the new manage
ment is evidenced by the words OF
commentator falling from the Missis-
sippi press, pulpit and rostrum.
In a leading editorial the News. on
the day that the new owners took
charge. defined its position on the
whiskey trafic-which was war to the
knife and all liquor ads to go at the
expiration OF contracts. This editor
ial was reproduced in the Columbia
Herald. Commenting on it former
Governor Vardeman, the most pic
turesaue character in southern poll
tics, and the most powerful politician
in Mississippi if we except John
Sharp Williams, said in his paper, the
Issue:
~ have not the good fortune Of an
acquaintance with the brave, consci-
entious, intellectual gentleman who
edits The Hattiesburg News, but the
following editorial from that paper
stamps him as a man made of the
right sort of stuff.
"God knows we need more Of his
breed.
"Hattiesburg is to be congratulated
upon the addition of such a man to
her population.
"If he keeps up this lick he will be
a positive benefactor to the entire
state. His example is worthy Of
emulation by the editors of the coun-
try"
Another endorsement for the News
came from State Senator E. A.
Rowan, who in letter of commenda-
ton said:-
a" am sure such an editor will
prove a great blessing to your city.
Had ! been we'll, would have written
him a commentator of the very SEN
sibe ideas set forth in his editorial.
"If all the newspapers of our state |
would withhold such advertisements
LOT whisky it would go far to aid the
movement.
ain active war there is often an
active and close Gordon drawn on
newspapers, preventing them from
giving out news detrimental to the
general good. In this great war of
ours against strong drink, if such a
could be put on whisky ad-
what blessing it would
%.
"TeII the editor of The News, he is
/ man after my own heart"
That the friends of Messrs. Lander
Ind Farrell will be pleased to hear of
heir success in their new field is
ust as certain as that they will be
pleased to know that Mississippi has
uch valiant champions of prohibition,
rood government and everything per-
aiming to the uplift of a people. A

irely for private gain, always deserves

CITY OFFICES.
The PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

After the usual vacation the Public
Schools opened today for another
years hard work The enrolment is
large, the interest genuine. With a
splendid faculty one that accomplish
es results, the outlook for the year is
bright. Many of the old teachers are
back at their posts. Supt. Harris
who succeeds Prof. Bostick, comes
with high recommendations and val
liable experience. Death has claimed
the lamented Prof. Journey, and one
or two of the teachers have married
and resigned. Otherwise the faculty
is unchanged. Prof. Morton, who so
capably directed the High School last
year spent the summer at the Univer-
sity of Chicago gathering new ideas
and is better prepared for his work
than ever.
The Fair is oven With nothing to
distract their attention Columbias
contingent of Young American can
settle down to the steady grind that
does for gray matter and character
what sunshine and the pillow does for
corn and potatoes.
The public schools are becoming ev-
cry day a more important factor In
the American system of education.
The succeeding years find their scope
of usefulness enlarged. 1t is but
matter of time until education will be-
come compulsory in the United States
as it is now in some foreign coun-
tries.
The people pay the teachers and
feel that the Public Schools are their
own. 1t is here that the young arls-
tocrs. rubs elbows with his poorer
neighbor and learns the kind
of democracy that it not spelled
with a big ID" Caste succumbs to
worth, and the pupil with tiuted trous-
ers goes below dilligent Little John
ME in his suit of jeans. The spoiled
darling has his conception of his own
Importance knocked into cooked hat,
Dainty little hands come to respect
those calloused by work. Things are
evened UP when the poor and the rich
meet on terms of equality in the pub
lie schools and learn what real life
is.
There is a big place in the world
for the private schools. The Unlver-
stiles, the colleges and all the institu-
tons of higher learning are demads
of the age. But the first essential is
that every child be given an opportu-
nifty to require the rudiments of an
education. The public schools DO
this.

LAWRENCE COUNTY
IS GUARANTEED
COUNTY COURT REFUSED TO APP
POINT LIVE STOCK IN
SPECToRS.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 23.-On
account of the action of the Lawrence
County Court in declining to appoint
County Live Stock Inspectors, and in
otherwise refusing to cooperate with
| the Agricultural Department in the
| eradication of the Texas cattle tick,
an order has been issued by Gen. John
H. Mcdowell prohibiting the removal
of cattle from Lawrence county. The
order is effective at once The feature
Of the notice is that no cattle can be
moved from that county to an adjoln-
ing county, though the adjoining coun-
ty may be under quarantine. 1t was
thought that Lawrence county cattle
should not come in contact with the
cattle in adjoining counties, where tick
eradication work is going forward.
The order follows:
Notice is hereby given to the citi-
zens of Lawrence County that the
shipment or movement of cattle from
Lawrence County to any other county
of Tennessee is hereby prohibited.
This order is issued on account of
the action of the voters of Lawrence
County, who, by vote, have refused
to cooperate with this department In
the eradication of the Texas fever
tick. This order will remain in force
and effect until the County Court OF
Lawrence County shall, by election OF
competent County Live Stock Inspec-
tors, satisfy this Office of desire to
cooperate in the eradication of the
Texas fever ticks.

PELLAeRA CONTAGIOUS.

The State Board of Health has set
world precedent by declaring that
Pellagra is contagious. This is in
contradiction of all the past theories
and observations on the subject but
is in accordance with public demands.
While the scientists are wrangling
as to whether or not the dreadful
malady is contagious the public is
more directly concerned in keeping
away from it. All the health boards
in the United States couldn't con-
vince the ordinary layman in his right
mind that he cared to associate with
a pellagra patient. But If the disease
is not contagious, and the European
medical authorities say that it is not,
then there is but little excuse and
possibly less law for quarantining
against it.
The unfortunate victims of the d.
sease should be isolated. They should
be kept away from all possible con-
tact with those who are not afflicted
as themselves. It would be just about
as satisfying to know that the man In
the next room had leprosy as Pellagra.
Everybody knows that the one disease
is as fatal as the other. Everybody
wants to give both plenty Of room.

 There is now under serious consid- eration and the scrutiny of constitu- tional lawyers a new federal law framed on different lines and under the interstate commerce act. As drawn by Assistant States Attorney Clifford G. Roe, a member of the Woman's World committee, the bill is as follows:

VIGILANCE 0F UNCLE SAM FIXED ON ALIEN AcROBATs
A NEW PHASE OF WHITE SLAVE
 TRAFFIC.
How the Latest Scheme Is Now Be-
 ing Operated.

Chicago, June 25.-(Special Corre- pondence of The Republ. an )-Fed- eral prosecutors have not relaxed their vigilance in checking importa- tions of foreign white slaves, not withstanding the United States su- preme courts recent decision knock ing out the third section of federal immigration statutes that apply to white slavery. Within the last six months, according to the United States district attorneys office here, no less than forty three procurers and 1000 of their bewildered alien vic tims have been deported. Opening of the circus season, however, has re- quired especial vigilance at ports of entry and interior cities in regard to the acrobatic and equestrian families who come from abroad, for the privi- lege granted actors to enter the Unit ed States has become the last and best device of the white slave traf- fickers to violate the federal laws without being caught.
 "Acrobatic families one sees do dizzy things while the band plays are not necessarily real families ,' says a bulletin issued by the Wom- ans World committee on legislation against white slavery. The younger ones being quite as likely to be ap prentices bound out to the master to learn circus stunts as the man who is head of the family. The young diavO los respond to very different names in the dressing rooms. This fact is so well known to the authorities that bringing girls in as acrobats has been a loophole for white slavers, although Henry Lehr tried it so unsuccessfully that he is now doing real work. for the first time in his life, in Fort Leavenworth with two years more ahead of him and also payment of fine of S2,500 Assistant United States District Attorney Harry A. Parkin of this committee recently explained the workings of the acrobat scheme in an address to the States Attorneys Asso- citation of Illinois.

at New York by the immigration au- thorities,' he said, had printed large posters about three feet long and about a foot and half wide contain ing pictures of two women and a man clothed in the costumes of aero bats. With these he had certain names placed upon the bill, and the advertising revealed the fact that these impersonators were acrobats bound for the United States, and of course were not subject to the immi- grafton laws. He put the bills in his trunk and carried them in his valise.
 He got through New York safely with the two women and brought them to Chicago They were sold into houses of prostitution, and last December the case came to the attention of this office; we eXtradited the defendant from San Francisco, secured the con fession of the man who had actually done the importing, and sentenced the defendant to two and one-half years in the federal penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth and fined him S2.5OO. The man who actually did the inn porting returned to France within two months after he had brought these two women to the United States. gathered together four more French women and brought them to New York; but fortunately he was recognized, captured, and the women were taken and deported. and he is now serving term of four years in the federal pcnitontiary at At ta Ga.
 "'There is and has been a system atic attempt, and a successful at tempt in most instances. to bring to this country. these foreign wom- en- MT. Parkin said. We women from Norway, from Sweden, from Russia, from Poland, from Eng land, from France. from Spain. from Italy and in one or two instances from Austro- Hungary
 "'The statute under which the United States district attorney of fices were operated was one which was passed originally in 1875. At that time it simply forbade the importa- ton of women for immoral pur- poses. Again, in 1903. the law was amended and section was added not only prohibiting the importation. but the harboring in pursuance of the inn portation. Again, on February 20. 1907, congress enacted the third sec tion of the statute-the one which has recently been declared unconsti- tutional by the supreme court That law attempted to prosecute men not only for importing and keeping in pursuance of the importation but it also said that anyone who shall keep, maintain, control. support or harbor Irrespective of importation), any alien woman within three years after she shall have entered the
