legislature, which will give Illinois a
democrat in the United States senate
to succeed Senator Shelby NJ. Cullom.
In the past it has been the prac-
tice of the senatorial committees in
districts known to be strongly re-
publican to concentrate on one DEM
ocrat for the lower house, who could
be elected under the majority and
minority rule.
LEWIS VOICES SENTIMENT.
James Hamilton Lewis in opening
his campaign for the democratic
nomination for United States senator
III Streator, three weeks ago deliv-
cred a speech the burden of which
was that the democrats should de-
mand the naming of at least two
men to run for the lower house in
each district.
That is one of the campaign issues
of Mr.. Lewis, and it is understood
that while he has no present inten-
ton of breaking away from the reg
ular organization, he has intimated
to members of the executive commit
tee that unless this suggestion Is in
dorsed by the state committee he
will affiliate himself with the Hearst
Harrison wing of the party.
There are several districts which
will not even consider the mandate
of the state central committee in
this respect, it is said, and in these
districts only one democrat will be
named by the senatorial committee.
WILL NOT OBEY.
Leaders in the second and sixth
districts already have declared they
will not attempt to name more than
Cornell now represents them, and
Robert E. Wilson, democratic repre-
sentative from the sixth, probably
will have no opponent.
Sullivan leaders in the Nineteenth
district are not likely, it is limited,
to jeopardize their chances by nomi-
mating a democrat to run on the
ticket with John ]. Mclaughlin, and
the same attitude prevails in several
other northern Illinois districts.
Charles Boeschenstein, Edwards
vile, chairman of the state commit
tee, was in Chicago yesterday. He
said:
1.-THE democrats will carry the
legislature this year. Of that I feel
certain. The state committee will
demand that every district shall
have two men nominated, and if any
senatorial committee fails to do this
it will fall under the ban of the
state central committee and will not
get it's support.
BY A LARGE MAJORITY.
There is no doubt in the minds OF
members of the executive committee
that the Forty-eighth general assem-
! bly, will be democratic by a large
majority, and that it will be posi-
BILE to elect a democratic United
| States senator"

Berlin, Oct. 17.-Advices received
from the Foreign Office from Hankow
report that a German force of blue
jackets reinforced by German local
residents, have landed at Hankow and
are now engaged in fighting in the
streets with the Chinese mob. De-
tachments were landed from the
cruiser Leipsic and the gunboats Tiger
and Vaterland. Members of the Ger
man colony volunteered to support
the marines.
The Foreign Office understands that
the Germans are cooperating in the

commanded by the Japanese naval
captain. The large German cruiser
Gneisenau, accompanied by a torpedo
boat, will arrive at Hankow tomorrow.

MORE STRINGENT
LAWS DESIRED
Much of the Time of The Next Session
of the Legislature Will be Taken
Up With These Matters.

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 1.-THE Mis-
sissippi legislature will have much of
its time taken up at the next session
in January making laws for the pro-
lection of fish, game and birds of the
state. The Audubon Society of Mis-
sssippi, of which William J. Hem
mingway, of Jackson, is president, is
engaged in framing up laws to protect
game species which are being slaught
cred out of existence by indiscrimi-
nate huntsmen. The draft of the bills
are nearly completed, according to
President Hemingway, and if they
are put through by the legislature
game will be|protected for a number
of years by drastic laws.
A petition is being circulated by J..
H. Rodgers, of Emory, Miss, asking
for more stringent laws on hunting
for the better protection of birds and
wild animals. He has secured the
signatures of hundreds of influential
Mississippians, and believes that he
will succeed in having the Legislature
halt the wholesale destruction of
birds, which he says are invaluable
aids to the farmers in the destruction
of pestiferous insects.
Hunters of this section are of the
opinion that the thousands of worth.
less dogs that are at liberty in the
state are partly responsible TO >rthe
scarcity of game animals from the
forests of the state.

Messrs. Lawrence Buchanan, West

the gentlemen in whose homes the
little girls will be cared for. They
have found homes, too in the truest
sense and will be cared for just as
tenderly and with the same kind
thoughtfulness as if they were not in
adopted homes. All these gentlemen
are good substantial citizens and for
the interest manifested in the little

could not provide for the children.

away. DR.. Donald told her to give
them to him, he would pay their eX-

SOCIALIST ROSE TO
CHALLENGE BREWER

Biloxi, Miss, Oct 17.-Hon. Sumner
w. Rose, of Biloxi leader OF the So
cialist party in Mississippi, wants a
joint debate with Hon. Earl Brewer
Democratic nominee for GOvernorand
he is preparing a challenge to be sent
to the delta statesman inviting him to
wordy combat in Jackson during the
State Fair.
Furthermore, Mr., Rose, who serv-
ed term in the Gulfport Jail some
time since for refusing to pay street
tax, holding that it was an unconstitu-
tional assessment, is in dead earnest
about it. and he is going to put the
challenge up to Mr. Brewer Just as
strong as the English language can
frame it, calling attention to the fact
that the Socialist party is regularly
organized in Mississippi, has a state
ticket in the field to be voted for at
the November election, and that the
Democratic nomineee cannot consist
emily refuse him at least one joint de-
bate prior to the election.

Wonons College Should
Haze Its Church SUPPORT

Since the establishment of the Wo-
mans College at this point, the mem
hers of the Baptist denominations in
other points have awakened to the
possibilities of a sectarian college Tor
girls when sanctioned, endorsed and
sunported by the Baptist Convention
Following this the idea has been con-
ceiyed by several Mississippi towns
to have the convention in its next ses-
sion fix upon location for this school
and launch a movement to have the
convention support it. Hattiesburg py
united effort and through the persist
ent work of her citizens and the gen.
erous donation of Mr.. Tatum secured
the BAPTIST College. This was accom-
plished over competition in other
nlaces One man living in Jackson OF
fered IL acres of land as the college
site. but Hattiesburg was the success
ful bidder. Now it seems that the gen
tleman who first offered the Is acres,
has offered 35 acres, with PROPOSE
tion that the Convention sell portion
of it to erect buildings on the remain
der 1t is also rumored that Clinton
will make a strong and determined ell
fort to have a school located there. IL
is already the site of the Baptist Boys
College and has an enrolment o.
nearly 400, and it would be quite an
appropriate idea to have both SCHOOLS
located at the same place.
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1911-10-17

these things Hattiesburg is by far the
most appropriate place for such u
school. We are the center-the hub
of South Mississippi, the metropolis
OF a great and growing country, with
uneXcelled natural advantages and
with citizenship that cannot be ex-
celled. We have Baptist school just
commencing under most flattering
auspices, and under conditions that
are bound to make it one of the lead
ing educational institutions of the
state. We have the grounds and two
large dormitories already, and the
buildings are so built and situated
that they could be added to conven
iently and the ground belonging to
the College is large enough to permit
of the most extensive improvements
Besides this North Mississippi, Blue
Mountain has already school of such
character and it is only right that the
southern portion OF the State have her
due. The Baptist Convention con-
venes in Gulfport on November oath,
and everyone who has the pride of
his church, city and county at heart
should bestir himself and see that
Hattiesburg does not lose this insti-
tuition. The enrolment of this school
under church control would mean a
student attendance of over 800 girls,
surely no small thing beside the very
educational and religious influence
that. Ii would most naturally4iend.

TARIFF ON SUGAR
A WICKED TAX
So Declared John ArbuckIe Who Will

interestsH In his statement Mr.. Ar
buckle said:

ing abroad to rest and recuperate in
preparation for the fight to be made
in Congress at its next session for
free sugar. | propose to devote all
my time and all my ability to the
abolition of all import duties on raw
sugar a most wicked tax on a food
necessity of all our people. It taxes
the man who works for wage of a
dollar a day as much as it taxes an in
vestor or Mr. Morgan or Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter. Each eats, or at least needs the
same amount of sugar, and they pay,
not according to their needs, revers-
ing an. elementary rule of taxation.

Ever Gathered Together.

1t is so easy to say good things
about AL G. Field, that prince of
minstrel men, that an honest criti-
cism of his work this year in produc-
ing the marvellous minstrel success
appearing in Birmingham, is almost
impossible. But Al should certainly
feel proud of himself this time sure
enough.
For years AL &. Field was without
a serious rival in the minstrel bust
ness. For years he has put out a
show pleasing entirely to his Glen
tele from one end of the United States
to the other. But now that the min
strel world has been invaded by
others, Al G. Field has put forth his
best efforts to outshine and outstrip
anything in competition with him.
AL Field has set a pace now that
minstrel men in the future will find
hard to follow. His galaxy of stars
this season cannot be equaled in the
minstrel business. His staging and
general makeup of his show shows
the master hand of minstrelsy all the
way through, not a detail being left
undOne to give the public the finest
minstrel show that money can pro

Mr., Field is with his show this
season and is seeing to it that the
public gets that for which they pay, a
laugh. There is not one laugh, or a
hundred laughs, or thousand
laughs, Al Field, with his great com
pany of artists, provides perfect
gale of laughter.
Think of Doc Qugley, Bert Swor,
John Heely, and George Bowen on
one stage and with ono show. Tt's a
laugh to think of it. Where else
could you find such an array? No.
