Any Way of Taking Life
Murder, Says Zed Copp

Murder is the taking of human life
and when human life is taken, 1t is
murder. There can be but one way to
it. And when man takes the life of
man, whether in battle or in single COM
bat, it's murder"
With this as his theme, the Rev. Zed
H. Copp, eXpounded on the subject of
Murder" as his sermon to the members
of the Bethany Presbyterian Church last
night. Capital punishment, said Mr..
Copp, as as much murder as shooting
man down in the streets in wanton-

Regular Force of 2l0 Men Put to

The eagle-eyed forecaster today can.
not see a sign of the Storm King who
came so surreptitiously yesterday and
killed so many perfectly good church
going plans.
Today is fair, as we all know, and
tomorrow promises to be fair. Tonight
will be trifie chilly when the tempera-
ture gets down to 20 above, but this will
be the coldest for several days to come.
Until the latter part of the week,
probably until Thursday, predictions
have it that it will steadily grow warm
er. Then something is going to hap
pen. What it will be is not yet known.
Even up in the far Canadian north
west, away north of Montana, where
the natives complain of the heat when
the thermometer indicates freezing, ii is
growing warmer. Today the. tempera-
ture is above zero, and still rising.
Only in the interior of Maine is there
real winter today, with the mercury at

sistently cold ever since early in De-
cember. today is much warmer.
Snow Money Nearly Gone.
With but 5000 of the appropriation of
$4,000 for the removal of snow and ice
remaining, the Street Cleaning Depart
ment faces a serious situation.
Estimating that the work can be done
in two days, the minimum cost of the
cleaning of the cross walks and cutters
will be about $3.50. In this work only
the regular force of 2l0 men will be en-
plOyed. If later it is decided to haul
the snow TO the dumps, it will be neces-
sary to employ extra drivers and teams
and the cost of removal will be largely
increased.
The force of 30 men began the work
of cleaning the cross walks and cutters
in the downtown and residential sec
tions of the city early this morning.
Weather conditions, 1t is believed,
will aid the department in diSposing OF
the snow and slush
While there is on hand a sum suftic-
lent to handle the present situation, Of
ficialS of the Street Cleaning Depart
ment say they are forced to exercise
the utmost economy in order to provide
for the future.

The Temple of Diana.
Among the greatest wonders OF Eph-

her temple was considered one of the
seven wonders Of the world. 1t COW
cred more than two acres. and its
mighty roof was upheld by 127 marble
columns, each as high as q six story
house. The worship Of the goddess
was so famous that a business grew
up in making statues of. her and port
able shrines which could be carried
away by tourists and pilgrims. Ath-
ietic games were connected with the
worship, and the month of May was
sacred to her The temple itself is
referred to IN the scriptures; and in

DIANA, whom Asia and all the world
worshipped-"

The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1911-12-18

for Senator La Toilette, the Republi-
can Progressive and new Nationalist.
That Mr.. Hearst has his eye TO-
cused on the Democratic nomination
for President is believed by Demo
cratic leaders in every section of the
country. His agents are active in
New York and other States.
There is much speculation as to
his exact purpose, and his present at
titude toward leaders whom he has
consistently antagonized for several
years is the subject of much coniec-
ture.
In New York he is credited with the
promotion of a plan to destroy the
power of Tammany Boss Murphy to
dictate the delivery of the delegation
from this state to any aspirant other
than himself i'm the National Nonven-
ton. I'm Ohio he is viewed as an ally
of John R. Mclean and Mr.. Bryan to
prevent the Endorsement of Gov. Har-
mon by the delegation from that state.
In Illinois the followers of Mr.. Hearst
are planning to send a delegation ia
vorable to him to the National Con
vention. In California, Oregon and
other Pacific Coast States Mr.. Hearst's
agents are working industriously in
his interest.
1t is the common belief at Washing
ton and here in New York that Mr.
| Hearst will center his fire on Gov
Harmon FIRST and Gov. Wilson after
that. He Is apparently avoiding a raid
on the South at this stage of the
game on the theory, perhaps, that he
will stand as good a chance Of cap
turing the votes there when it is seen
| that neither Mr.. Underwood nor Mr.
| Clark can command them as either
Gov. Harmon or Gov. Wilson. In some
| Southern tSates Mr.. Hearst is said tc
be laying the foundation for an active
campaign later on, but there are nc
surface indications that he has as YET
taken any decisive step in that direc
ton.
Among the more seasoned politica
manipulators Gov Harmon is regard
ed as the candidate upon whom al
factions are likely to combine. There
are many reasons to justify this con
fidence in their opinion. The "busi
ness interests" are believed to view
him with more favor than any othe
man. In the West his opponent
characterize him as "Wall Street,
candidate" or as "Morgan's candi
date" Yet in spite of this criticism
the Ohio Governor is apparently grow
ing steadily in favor of Democratic
politicians, and the promoters Of tn
important business interests, whicl

four points of the compass and in be-
tween, it is from this list that the
next Democratic candidate for the
Presidency will be selected.
May Be Wilson or Harmon
BY the process of political reason
ing and elimination either Gov. Will
son or Gov. Harmon will be selected
on present FORM" as it would be de-
Scribed in a sporting sense. The pro
motors of the canvass now in progress
in behalf of both gentlemen at New
| York, Washington, Chicago and at
other centers where political specula-
ton furnishes half the fun in life,
/ have, for their own purposes, elm
mated all other aspirants, and are
/ conducting their quest for votes as
if the victory lies between the two.
Gov Wilson's interests are being
! looked after by a splendidly equipped
/ organization, which is Systematically
/ PROSECUTING among the leaders of 9th
/ er States in the East, the Middle and
/ Far West; everywhere, in fact, save
( the South. That section with its 347
votes in the next national convention
is sedulously avoided.
This evasion does not indicate any
reluctance on the part of the support
ers of either Gov Wilson or Gov. Har-
mon to secure the Southern vote"
1t is inspired rather by the absolute
| conviction that the South will throw
its vote to one Of it's own 'favorite
sons"-Underwood or Clark-until it
is established that neither one can
win. Then the foray of the Wilson
and Harmon forces on the South will
begn.
OF the two Southerners Congress
man Underwood is viewed as having
the best chance of any person from
that section. He is a new man, Wig
| orous and particularly available in the
event of the tariff being the para
mount issue of the national campaign
Speaker Clark is viewed with less
favor. He is regarded as a sort Of
stalking horse" for Hearst, who
I speaks and writes his praises, pitched
in major key. Mr.. Hearst, by the
way, is loked upon as the Roosevelt
of the Democratic party, to which he
has but recently returned. Among
Democrats of all factions, particularly
in the East, William Jennings Bryan
is given a place not unlike that made

exercise potential influence over pc
litical conditions.
Among politicians in the centers of
the East Gov. Harmon is undoubtedly
other gentlemen whose names have
been connected with the Presidential
nomination. In the Middle West he
is esteemed the most available man
whose name has been mentioned. In
the South his chances are subordinat-
ed to local considerations, having to
do with the possible advancement of
"Favorite Sons" Underwood and
Clark.
In New Englands calculations he
figures on about a parity with GOV.
Wilson.
Gov Wilson, too, has many. follow
ers in the business centers." Even
in Wall Street there is a decidedly
friendly feeling for him. An element
that is regarded as being susceptible
| to Morgan influences" is openly work
| ing to advance his chances for landing
| the Democratic Presidential nominal
ton. Had it not been for the speech
es made by the New Jersey Governor
during his tur of the West in the
pronounced sentiment for him than
! there is at present. His espousal of
certain features of public policy which
are viewed by business interests" as
radical did not enhance his value as
an available candidate in the opinion
of industrial promoters.
That these same speeches helped
the New Jersey Governor in the West
even if they did not add to his pop
the friendly assurances that come
from Democratic leaders on the Pa,
cific Coast States, the Dakotas, Min
nesota, Wisconsin and from some OF
the Rocky Mountain States.
The organization which friends OF
Gov. Wilson have established to pro
mote his political future has not been
slow in taking advantage of the fav
orable impression created by him in
those sections of the country.
