cilessly flayed the tariff barons who
in the name of protection had robbed
the masses of the people, and he
warned his party of judgment to come
with all my SOUL" said he, Il be.
lieve in the powers of light against
the powers of darkness. In the end
the people will triumph"
Perhaps no paragraph in the sena-
tors speech will lay firmer hold upon
thoughtful minds than this one. Said
he:
ITO me public life has but one
meaning. 1t Is this: Here are mil
lions of human beings. No one of
these millions asked to be born, yet
born we were without our consent.
Not one of us asks to die, yet die we
must without our consent. And in
the brief space between birth and
death all of us, except the favored
few, have hard enough time. What
can be done to make the. load of all
these millions lighter? That is what
>i'iiiIeteiOii W ilt. w dU can
be done to help the American people
give an example to all the world of
the progress of civilization and hui
man contentment? That is all public
life means to me-"
In conclusion, the great orator un-
loosed the cheers of the vast conven-
ton hall by exclaiming:
Would you know the spirit and
duty of the hour? Listen! and you
will hear the fife and drum of Bunker
Hill and Yorktown thrilling, and throb-
bling the spirit and duty of '76-and
that is the spirit and duty of today.
Listen! and you will hear the bugle of
Vicksburg and Appomattox pealing
the spirit and duty of the heroic six
ties-and that is the spirit and duty
OF today. For in another and blood
less way again We fight for justice
and human rights as in those splen-
did days of righteousness and glory"
1t is said that when Senator Bev-
eridge concluded his magnificent
speech the great building shook like
a vessel buffeted by a storm at sea:
and when such an arraignment of the
Payne-Aldrich tariff bill is heard by
such an audience amid demonstra
tions of the widest enthusiasm, it is
evident that crisis Is imminent. Nor
does it improve matters for the pres
ident of the United States, in the
wake of this upheaval of sentiment.

THE BITTERNESS OF POLITICS.

(James K. Vardaman, in The Issue.)
The extremes to which men will go
the utter thoughtlessness and disre-
gard of interest and well-being of 9TH
ers in order to accomplish some selfish
end in politics, is one of the very
peculiar things of this day and gen
Grafton.
To hold political office and make
laws for patriotic, honest constit-
uency is a great honor-especially If
the office comes as tribute of con-
fidence and love from the real rulers Of
the realm.
But. to get 1t by fraud, by villifica-
ton, by tearing down the reputation
of somebody else, blighting lives and
frustrating ambitions, is no honor.
Honor comes from the character Of
service you render, whether it be in
the quiet walks of private life, on the
hastings, on the field of battle or in
the halls of state, it all depends upon
the character of the service rendered
In my cary life, | was ambitious for

seriousness that would be pointed out

great deal larger and far more diff
cult to manage successfully than the
Newman Lumber Company, or the lar
gest bank in Mississippi. 1t should
have at the head of its affairs men
quite as capable of deciding great
business problems and handling great
business propositions as any of the
officers of any of the banks or other
large financial institutions of this
city. 1t is no small job to take hold
of the corporate interests of Hatties-
burg and manage them successfully
and to the best interest of the tax
payers of this city.
In inducing men to run for the Of
fees, and in deciding between men
who do run, these simple, fundamen-
tai facts should not be lost sight of.
They are of far more Importance than
the personal interests of all the men
who may run.
Another matter never to be lost
sight Of is the moral life of the COM
munity. People look askance these
days upon wide-open towns Wide
open towns and men with bizarre
ways used to be the fashion; but they
have gone out. That flush times and
prosperity camped eternally in wide
open towns is an exploded theory.
Very many people honestly believed
that it would kill town to drive
whiskey out. Honest people all over
the country believed that But it has
been tried all over the country. and
everywhere the fallacy of that theory
has been exploded, And what has
been driven out by law, ought to be
kept out by law officers.
Not only should this one law be en-
forced, but every law should be en-
forced, and all laws should be i'm
enforced. Where the laws
are not enforced, or where they are
partially enforced, the general public |
loses respect for Law; and in a COM
munity where the people do not rever-
ence and respect Law, human life is
not safe and prosperity rights are in
Jeopardy.
With no friends to reward and no
enemies to punish, the only interest

CHEAP NoToRIETY;" HIS RuL

'fNS NSStONs
A correspondent of the New York
sun takes a sane, unprecedented view
OF the recent Vatican incident, which
seems to be based on good sense and
complete information: 81 do not
think that anything in the career of
the ez7RresiGent has displeased me So
mich as the recent episode at Rome,
and l speak as stanch Protestant.
Before Mr. Roosevelt asked to be re-
ceived by Plus X he knew perfectly
the only condition under which such
reception was possible. A DELHI
crate trap seems to have been pre-
pared whereby at the cost of some
humiliation of man revered by mil
hons Mr.. Roosevelt might earn a lit
Tie cheap notoriety as the champion
or religious federation, principle
which is not involved in the dispute
In the slightest degree. The incident
leaves bad taste in a gentleman
mouth
commenting on the above, the Nash
vile American says: One of the
foregoing suggestions, that of it be-
ing a deliberate trap, is likely to
provoke discussion. 1t would be diff
cut to convince many that this COM
posite of st. Paul and st. Vitus, ever
does anything deliberately

BUSINESS AND POLITICS.

BUSINESS AND POLITICS.
Still water runs deep. he political
waters which seemingly are so quiet
are boiling beneath the surface, and
when the municipal campaign opens,
which it threatens to do within the
next week, there will be hot time in
the old town.
There are several men being groom
ed by their friends for the various
offices, particularly the office of May
or, and there promises to be three or
four or five entries in the race, which,
unless one of the number should make
a runaway race, will necessitate
run-off, and then after that the cleo
ton.
Even before the announcements are
made, The News has a decided prefer
ence, and we are willing to make
known our position now: The News
is for the man for Mayor, and the
men for commissioners, who will give
to the people of Hattiesburg the best
administration of it's corporate affairs.
There are some fundsa2Taeat truths,
Z u business. politics and religion,
which even a stranger in a communi-
ty can know as much about as the
oldest citizen; and upon these funda-
mentals The News proposes to plant
itself during this campaign, and leave
It entirely to the people who have
been here longer than we have and
know the candidates better than we
do, to decide for themselves who are
the best men to carry out these funda-
mental principles of government. In
other words, while The News does not
expect to be silent during this cam
paign, 1t does expect to be non-parti-
san so far as men or tickets are con-
cerned.
Hattiesburg is a new town, COM
paratively, and it needs steady hand
and cool brain to guide its future. It
is the central and Queen City of an
undeveloped territory, and its posi-
bilities for growth are enormous. It
cannot afford to count one years ex-
penses by another, as may be approx
imately done in old, grown up towns |
1t must develop, and to some extent
1t must have development money. A |
new town, like any new business, |
must have promotion capital; and
that capital must be raised from the
masses of the people by general tax
alton. Lacking the nerve and cour-
age to spend money and go ahead. a
new town will soon begin to retro
grade and go to the bad.
But-and here is the danger tn he
guarded against-waste of money in
new enterprises; extravaganza in gov.
eminent.
.
Hattiesburg is great big corpora
ton, in which every tax payer is d
stockholder. In selecting the officers
to manage the business affairs of this
big corporation, the same common
sense and good judgment should be
exercised as is done usually in elect
Ing officers to direct the affairs of any
large private or quasi-public corpora
ion. Men Of affairs should be chosen.

An Obedient Dog.

Schnapps is a dachshund, and the
people who know all about the breed
call the queer looking animal hand
some. In the house in New York
where he is the pet he is credited with
more than ordinary dog sense and with
understanding every word said to him
in English or German. In order to
demonstrate his sagacity his master
said to him a few evenings ago:
"Schnapps, the young people have
been here long enough. Go down and
tell the boys to go home" Downstairs
he waddled and, standing before the
visiting youths, barked and howled,
then ran to the front door and back
again and kept up the performance
until, as his proud master explained,
"the young men heard and saw the
point. Pretty smart for dachs, eh?"

The frigate pelican. or man-of-war
bird, is usually met with by travellers
in the tropics. Although when stripped
Of its feathers 1t is hardly larger than
a pigeon, yet no man can touch at the
same time the tips Of its extended
wings. The long wing bones are ex.
ceedingly light, and the whole appa
ratus of air cells is extremely devel-
oped, SO that its real weight is very
trifing. 1t flies at great height above
the water, and from that elevation
pounces down On fish, especially pre-
ferring the poor, prosecuted flying fish
for its prey. According to some au.
thors, the name of man-of-war bird
was given to it because its appearance
was said to foretell the coming Of
ship, probably because the frigate peli-
can and real frigates are equally ad-
verse to storms, and both like to come
into harbor if the weather threatens.
