Splendid EVIDENCE
OF CITYS GROWTH
Local Office at Close of Fiscal Year
Made Showing Which Entities it to
Go Back lnto' the First Class
Substantial Increase.

The Hattiesburg postoffice will go
back into the first class when the
next classification is made by the
postoffice department, the receipts for
the last fiscal year having surpassed
the $4,000 as required by the depart
ment for promotion to that class.
This is considered to be one of the
very best indications of improved bus
mess conditions in this city, and is a
credit to the administration of Post
master Collins, who has the time
striven to put the Hattiesburg office
back into the first class
While the government fiscal year
closes on March 81, postmasters are
not required to send in their reports
Immediately after that date, for the
reason that it takes a considerable
amount of work to prepare a detailed
record of all business transacted DUR
ing twelve months. Assistant Post
master Kearnaghan is preparing the
report of the local office, and he
stated to News representative this
morning that the figures that would
be submitted to the department woulo
entitle this office to promotion.

VIII be taken up by the postoffice de-
partment as soon as the reports of the
offices are received, the announcement
OF promotions will not be made until
July l, so that the Hattiesburg office
will remain in the second class until
that date
The raising of this office to the
first class will. it is stated, entitle
It to better treatment than it has been
receiving, and the public will of
course, get the benefit in the way of
more efficient service in every re-
'pect.

LOSS TO THE COMMUNITY.

When a plant like the Worthen
mill burns, the community as we'll as
the owners are sharers in the loss.
Wenatchee citizens took pride in the
enterprise and push which the Wor-
then Mill company evinced, and the
destruction of this plant caused gen.
eral regret. The payroll of this con-
Germ was gradually increasing, and
this is something that Wenatchee
needs badly. This mill was equipped
with modern machinery and was
ready to supply local needs when
misfortune came to its promoters.
The success of this company has
shown that Wenatchee needs a plant
of this kind, and it would be source
of qualification if the announcement
could be made that it will be re-
established. There is a field here for
the investment of local capital in
profitable enterprises and every en-
enlargement should be given to effect
this.

lilies of the south, while visiting
friends here and throughout the Pa
cific northwest, was asked for an
opinion of the race question as it is

and plantation, and the south is in
precisely the same fix. We would
gladly be rid of the negro popula-
ton of our cities, but could i'll at

Economy of Good Roads.

The saving to the farmer and to
society that good roads bring about
was Interestingly discussed before
the State Auditors association at
Walla Walla the other day by E. E.
Sauze, deputy engineer of Walla
Walla county. After a discussion of
the problems of construction, Mr..
Sauze took up the economy argument
which has much potency nowadays.
Taking Is cents as the cost of NOV
ing one ton one mile over good dirt
roads and fives miles as the average
length of haul, and taking 26 cents
as the cost of moving a ton a mile
over poor dirt roads. Mr.. Sauze de-
monstrated that Walla Walla coun-
ty would lose 100000 year, if the
roads were all bad, in hauling grain
alone.
The saving in hauling a ton over
a good road as compared with a bad
is 8 ceuts a ton a mile For five
miles the saving would be 40 cents.
Or, to look at it from the other end.
the loss would be 40 cents a ton to
move a ton five miles over poor dirt
roads. Walla Walla county produced
in one year 100000 bushels, or
$4,000 tons of wheat. A loss of 40
cents a ton in hauling means a loss
of 100000 for one crop.
Walla Walla county has 1000
miles of roads. distributing the
$4,000 over 1000 miles," said Mr..
Sauze, I'VE would have loss of $66
a mile, which would pay interest on
$1,1O0 a year and which would build
the best dirt road made
Computing the loss from another
point of view, the speaker showed
that in hauling wheat an average
trip the farmers of Walla Walla
county lose l cent a bushel. The
farmer that raises 1000 bushels of
wheat loses $40 and the farmer that
raises 40 bushels an acre on $50
acres loses $64 a year on account OF
bad roads.
Then there are to be considered
the improved social advantages of
country life where roads are good.
With I;fo ,ooro oftrantjvq in the
country, the movement from farm to
city will stop and the national food
problem will approach a solution

What the Numbers Meant.

Monitor folk were gathered ebont

palpitating machine. Someone re-
marked:
"I'll bet it's a man-killer."
"Of course it is" assured the
other.

self, inviting the best population of
the world. Opportunities, find, are
on every hand, and of every kind,
but there is one serious need, in my
opinion; $4,000 or more of southern
negroes to take up small farms and
develop the waste places, making the
stump lands and desert to blossom
like the rose. AS small farmers on
their own account, with such ad-
vantages as they would have here,
or as employees of planters and fruit
growers, they would help nightly
to convert this region into one vast
Garden of Eden. The negro of the
south is infinitely superior to and
more desirable than the Chinese and
Japanese, of whom this state already
has horde. When the people of
Washington realize the truth of this
they will do some missionary work
down south. The southerners will
naturally object strenuously to the
offer of inducements for negroes to
come to the Pacific northwest. but

of course, cannot emigrate. They are
too poor and might as we'll think of

ton is one of the necessities to be
considered, if the landowners of this
section ever start such a colonizing

THAT ROOSEVELT POINDEXTER
CONFERENCE.

Some Of the most ridiculous in
terpretations have been placed on the
Roosevelt-Po interview at
Sycamore Hill last Tuesday. 1t has
been misrepresented for the purpose
of making political capital. A cas-
ual reading of the interview as re-
ported shows some inaccuracies Of
fact but these inaccuracies are incl
dental, not vital.
Some papers which are unfriendly
to Poindexter's candidacy took occa-
sion to magnify these inaccuracies
and to minimize the essential i'm
port of the interview. They went so
far as to charge Mr.. Poindexter with
being responsible for these inaccu-
racies of statement when they we'll
knew that these were due to the ig-
norance of local conditions by the
press correspondents.
In commenting on these inter-
views, the Honorable Joseph O. Can
non, who, as is well known, does not
entertain that kindly feeling for Mr.
Poindexter which the father enter
tanned for his hayward, prodigal son,
according to the scriptural story,
says in reference to the mixup of de-
tails: These things do not matter.
They are purely incidental. l read
what each party to the conference
said and, as for me, am not going
TO edit their remarks" Mr.. Can
non evinces his usual Quaker shrewd-
ness and his comments on the sub
ject are conditioned on good sense.
Colonel Roosevelt has completely
exonerated Mr.. Poindexter from hav-
ing any responsibility for any in
accuracies of statement, while at the
some time he expressed his gratifi-
cation that Mr.. Poindexter was such
an ardent champion of the Roose-
veltian views of conservation and
similar subjects. Mr. Roosevelt i'll
his own statement made it clear that
his sympathies are with men who are
willing to sacrifice and fight for the
public interest.
No right thinking man who has
closely watched the course of the ex-
president since his return to the
United States would think for a mo-
ment that he would mix up in local
:squabbles over nominations outside
his own state. Consequently he did
not indorse Mr.. Poindexter for the
nomination of senator from this state
but he did give his unqualified en-
dorsement to the principles which
Mr.. Poindexter advocates.

VIEW POINTS OF THE PRESS.
Put Prizefighting on the Shelf.


1t seems likely that the Jeffries-
Johnson fight will, as predicted,
mark the end of prizefighting in the
United States.
For the priZefight was very gener-
ally a disappointment. 1t is doubt
full if many of the $4,000 spectators
of the defeat of the ex-champion
would care to see such an exhibition
again. The racial consideration
aside, the two modern gladiators did
not put up a good fight. The con-
test was one-sided, uninteresting,
brutal. 1t was characterized by all
that is Objectionable in prizefighting,
and little or nothing that might be
urged in extenuation. The victory
of an unpopular champion, money
losses, the question of color would
never kill the game" with it's
friends; but when a fight is tame.
devoid of thrills, a sporting disap-
pOlul Lu0ul, even TIC lIlSuuN GULL
plain.
And it must be admitted that with
the first sign of weakness among
the many ardent supporters of prize
fighting the game is doomed. Pub
lie opinion has been very generally
opposed to prizefighting for years.
The fact that Nevada was the only
state where the fight could be given
attests to it's official unpopularity.
Now, with the disgraceful race riots
which the fight has aroused, this dis
like will in all probability grow in
to an active and organized hostility.
The prizefight should go. Not be-
cause it has no quality of sport, no
elemental appeal to certain virile
virtues, but because it has been
spoiled. 1t is no longer sport, but
a promotion scheme. 1t is not box
ing contest, but fistfight for prize.
It is a glass that has been drained,
only the dregs are left, and the time
has come to put it on the shelf
