The old world seems to be in a making
over process these days: persons who
are allVe now are more fortunate than
any who have ever before lived To en-
ter fully into the inheritance of the new
year requires uplook and outlook; wider
horizons, higher aspirations, deeper
purposes. This is no time for petty ex-

I'VE are living, we are dwelling,

In an age on ages telling,
To be living Is sublime"
At last we have come to the flying
age. In our congratulation
over this stupendous achievement, we
may not forget, however that the need
for soaring souls is still more important
than the need for flying bodies. It takes
more than flying machines to cure man
of his tendency to plod, and to be sat
isf1ed with himself in a humdrum life.

TAX PLAN To COME UP
Date for the Vote on the Completed
Tariff bill Is as Indefinite as
Ever-The Committee Confers With
the President.

WASHINGTON. June 21.-Al-
though considerable progress was
made during the past week by the
senate in the consideration of the tariff
bill, the date at which final vote on
the measure can be looked for is as
indefinite today as it was a week
ago.
The discussion of the question of Il
duty on hides will occupy the atten-
tion of the Senate for possibly day
or two before the vote is reached.
The wood pulp amendment offered
by the finance committee. which prac'
tically doubles the duty on wood
pulp coming from countries which
prohibit the expectation of wood pulp,
will be the next matter taken up
for consideration. After these two
schedules shall have been disposed
of it is understood the tax on cor
porations proposed by President Taft
will occupy the attention of the Sen
ate for several days.
The question of free cotton baggine
and ties and binding twine are Ger
tain to result in an interesting dis
cussion between the Southern and
Western senators. The House bill
provision for the free entry Of petro
leum and its products will occupy
considerable time as will the duties
on wrapper and filler tobacco, pine
apples, shoes and leather and bitum
inous coal.
While no serious effort is being
made to insure the presence of a
quorum at the sessions of the House
on Monday and Thursday, if possible
Representative Crumpacker, of Indi
ana, chairman of the census commit
tee, will endeavor to have the House
consider the conference report on

ten Held OUT
FOR AN ACQUITTAL
Assistant District Attorney Heney Is
Ready to Begin All Over Again,
His Five Months Fight Going for
Naught.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, June 21.-
Terminating in a disagreement of the
jury, with ten men determined on ac-
quittal, and two resolved on convic-
tion, the trial for bribery of Patrick
Calhoun, of the United Railroads,
ended at noon yesterday. Five months
and a week had passed since the
wealthy street railroad owner, a de-
scendant of Patric Henry, made his
first appearance in court to answer
to- the charge of offering a bribe of
$4,000 to a supervisor to obtain an
overhead trolley for his corporation.
Not until each juror had pronounced
as hopeless the prospect of verdict
was the order for their dismissal
made by Judge Lawler, prosecution
and defense giving assent to the dis
charge.
The trial ended quietly. The de-
fendant and his attorneys, as vel
as the chief officers of the prosecu
ton. refrained from comment on the
disagreement
Five ballots were taken, three short
ly after the jury retired. On the first
vote the jury stood eight for acquittal
and four for conviction. Twc
of the four joined the majority on the
second ballot, and one of the remain
ing two announced his determination
to remain out a month if necessary
After ordering the discharge of th(
jury, Judge LallleE addressed th'
jury some informal remarks, criti
cizing the law and usages that made
possible the expense of three months
in the impaneling of a jury. He de
clared the courts were utterly help
less to prevent such occurrences, and
recommended that the legislature be
informed by the people to change
| the laws that governed court proceed
ure. The attorneys are expected to fix
date for another trial ON the indict
ment tomorrow.
81 am ready to try this case again
and will go ahead tomorrow If nee
essary," said Prosecutor Heney.
Mr.. Colhoun said:
"Of course, am disappointed with
the failure of the jury to acquit me
of the unjust charges against me.
"The judge was hostile, the assist
ant district attorney bribed and the
administration of the law of this
state disgraced. l propose at the
proper time and in proper manner
to submit formal charges against AS
sistant District Attorney Heney TO
receiving bribes, and against Rudolph
Spreckels and James d. Phelan fo
having paid them.

DECREASE in
PRIVILEGE TAX

A comparison of the privilege taxes
paid into the city treasury this year,
during the months of May and June,
with the same period last year, shows
a slight falling aft in this source Of
revenue.
The taxes for May and June last
year says City Tax Collector Bennett
amounted to s4,947.5O, while this year,
for the same period, the figure stands
at S4,SS5.00. Maxim deficit over last
years receipts. of $62.50 which is due
to a larger number of delinquents this
year
The books show a slight increase
in the number of licenses issued for all
purposes, which is a healthy sign of
increasing business activity.
A very interesting feature ia this
licenses issued to Coca Cola venders,
licenses issued to Coca Gallo venders,
this item showing an increase in the
number of persons handling the bev-
erage of "a.
During the months of May and June
last year Sc Coca Cola licenses were
issued, while for the same period
this year the total runs up to 70, this
being for bottled goods only, exclusive
of the soda fountains, of which there
are about 30, in the entire city.
Including the bottled goods venders
and fountains, it appears that there
are more than one hundred persons
in the city of Hattiesburg engaged in
the sale of Coca Cola.
Tax Collector Bennett says that af
ter the delinquents shall have paid UP
the total receipts will be slightly more
than last year, the Increase, however,
being due to some small, new retail
dealers of various kinds taking a
chance in Hattiesburg commerce.
