Special to The NeiCS.
New Orleans, La, May ia per-
sonal meeting occurred Monday after
noon in the Item office between the
publisher of the paper, James M.
Thompson, and Philip Werlein, presi-
dent of the Progressive Union. The
trouble grew out of the publication in
the Item of the same date, of story
on an attempt to restore racing, in
which the Item, so Mr.. Werlein is I'M

struction on the attitude in the mat
ter of President Werlein that he had
not authorized any statement.

the petition calling for a meeting OF

legislation on racing. Mr.. Werlein

NeUS From the Tripod

He claims that Hamlet really existed
in the flesh. He was not prince of
Denmark" as the great dramatist en-
titles him, but petty prince who may
never have seen much of his country
in those days when travel was diff
cul and dangerous. He was not
buried at Elsinore, but elsewhere
the name of the exact place just now
escapes us--but the popular belief be-
ing that he was buried in the little
seaport town prevailing, and visitors
always asking to be shown the grave,
a shrewd hotel proprietor had lot of
stones heaped together and these were
pointed out to tourists as the grave of
Hamlet, much to their satisfaction
and with profit to the enterprising
landlord.
The ruse was a harmless one. II
the tourists looked upon a pile Of
stones and believed these stones
marked Hamlet's grave, they did
mark Hamlet's grave insofar as the
tourist nae cobcerned. The cenotaph

THE HAMLET MYTH.

The Hamlet myth will probably
be revived for a session as a result of
Roosevelt's visit to the little Danish
seaport town, Elsinore.
The Danes did not show our ex-
president the grave of the "melan-
choly Dane" The rude pile of stones
that are supposed to mark the spot
where lies Shakespeare's hero is kept
in reserve for rich American tourists
Whether or not such a person as
Hamlet ever lived is question that
has long been debated and so far as
the books go is yet unsettled. "The
weight of authorities" as the lawyers
are wont to say when arguing law
suits, is constantly trembling in the
balance, now giving tho character a
historical standing and '.gain consign.
ing it to the clouds and mists Of my
thology. ~

said by George Morris Cohen Brandes,

amount of 100000, the contract for

monument is to be erected in accord
ance with the plans and specifications

AReEsT CIRCULATION OF ANY SOUTH MIssIssIPPl PAPER
FAITH WITHOUT UoRKS IS DEAD

There is one good thing-indeed
there are many good things about
! Hattiesburg but there is one espe-
cially good thing; and that is, every
body in Hattiesburg believes in Hat
tiesburg. Everybody thinks they are
going to do a better business next
year than this, and better still the
year following. Everybody came here
to make money; to grow up with the
town; and everybody thinks it is on'y
a question of time before their hopes
are realized. There is that general
spirit of optimismsin the town. But
it is quiet; no man tells you about it
unless he is asked about it. Nobody
fans it or stirs it or tries to keep it
alive.
So far as work is concerned, there
are two things that Hattiesburg (barr-
ing a few enterprising spirits) is dead
to. One is, the advantage that judi
cious advertising would give to this
city; the other is, the amount of pub
licity other enterprising towns are
buying for themselves. From Maine
to Mexico towns and cities are adver
Using. 1t is a day and an age of adj
vertising. No man of large affairs
and business experience thinks, these
days, of putting on any large PROPOSE
ton or promoting any big scheme,
without providing for an amount of
publicity (which is but another name
for advertising) commensurate with
the scheme or proposition he has in
hand.
This is an advertising age, and a
moving age, and restless age, and
an age of great business competition
between cities and sections of coun-
try. The merchant who does not adj
vertise, finds his customers one by
one, slowly slipping away from him.
The city that does not advertise finds
its census enumeration every ten
years growing smaller and smaller.
There is as much competition be-
tween cities as there is between mer-
chants Hattiesburg is in class with
the merchant that does not advertise;
and Hattiesburg must get out of that
class, or it's citizens will be slow in
deed realizing their dreams of wealth.
The people seem to be asleep upon
that question of advertising the city 8
resources and advantages. They are
exactly like the merchant who has
the goods but does not dress up his
show window and tell his story to the
public. Hattiesburg has the stuff
the real stuff; but like the old-fash-
Toned, non-advertising merchant, they
seem to think the world knows this
and ought to come and invest. Hat
tiesburg does not know how near nc
advertising it is doing. They do not
know how penny wise they are; how

pound foolish they are.


Another thing Hattiesburg does not
know, is what other towns are doing
along this publicity line; what broad
plans they are working on: how much
money they are spending. If Hatties-
burg knew how liberal other towns
are with their commercial clubs. Hat
tiesburg would be ashamed of its
closeness with its commercial club.
If the citizenship of Hattiesburg
were as well informed as to what 9th
er towns are doing, and as broad-guag-
ed and progressive as the directors
and officers of the Commercial Club
are, the club would put on move
ment at once that would show splen-
did results next fall. If the business,
manufacturing and railroad property
interests here will furnish the club
with means, the club will do the
work; but the club cannot work with
out means, and by means we mean
money. The question is, will the
town put up the money? A thousand
dollars month is as little as the
town ought to spend for publicity for
the remaining eight months of this
year. Four times as much good can
be done with a thousand dollars 4
month as can be done with $500 a
month; because secretary salary, of
flee rent and office help will be the
same.
The News, unauthorized, will take
the responsibility of making this prop
Iosition for the Commercial Club. If
| the people-all the interests-will give
this club one thousand dollars month
for the remaining eight months of
this year, to spend for Hattiesburg,
according to their best judgment, and
the results are not entirely satisfac-
tory to large majority of the do
nors, these directors will never ask
Hattiesburg again to put up Eight
thousand dollars would be no gerat
sum for Hattiesburg to lose. Hatties-
burg has so much to gain. Nothing
risked, nothing gained. Put it up one
time. Part of it cash; part of it on
time, but all of it subscribed; so that
the club will have some definite idea
what they can do and what they Will
have to do it with; and then if pub
lefty fails. and advertising a city
does not pay, call it off for the future.
But give it one honest, liberal, fair
trial. The finance committee of the
board of directors will call to seq
you.
