THE END OF AN ERA.

In Penrose, Archbold and Roosevelt
we have true representatives of the
Mark Hanna Republicanism which has
ruled the country for sixteen years.
Penrose is typical of hundred un-
strupulous bosses who have worn the
livery of the Republic in the service
of the protected trust and combines.
Archbold is typical of thousands of
rich men proflting by favoring laws
and contributing freely to maintain in
power the political organization which
provided them,
Roosevelt is typical of our SNUG

men, owing his preferment to the
money of Privilege and Plumber and
giving official sanction to their plans.
1t is only little while ago that
these men, arm in arm, were bullying
the people with their claims that they
had a monopoly of all the virtue and
wisdom in America. Now look at
them! Two confess. One pleads ig-
norance.
Yet everything that they say of each
other has been known or suspected
for years. Elections have been bought
Laws have been suspended Law
breaking has been ignored. Privilege
and favor have been placed above
right and justice.
Until a little while ago this was
| triumphant Republicanism as de-
| bauched by Mark Hanna. 1t was a
united and harmonious Republicanism
| too None but Democrats objected to
| it, and they were shrieked down by
men who owed their official stations
to the rotten money of the trusts.
1t is money alone that has guided
Mark Hanna's party. Under the tar

crosses it has stolen from the people

THE Muse A filter
TO STRAIN Thu AIR
Catarrh Clogged Nostrils a Breeolns
Place For Deadly
Germs.

The nostrils are perfect "air filters
and, when kept in clean, healthy state,
strain every bit of air we breathe,
catching all dust particles, foreign
matter and germs. The air is full OF
germs. You cannot dodge them, but
you can safeguard yourself against
catarrh and other diseases contracted
in the process of breathing by keep
ing the nostrils clean and healthy.
Catarrh germs will sometimes get in
their work, and you may mistake the
symptoms for an ordinary cold.
Don't take any chances. If you
have a stuffed up feeling in the head
or if your throat is sore or filled with
phlegm, just grease the nostrils with
a little Ely's Cream Balm, draw the
pure, aromatic fumes back in the head
and you will be astonished at the eff
feet. In few minutes you will feel
a loosening up in the head, the nasty
discharge will soon be stopped, the
soreness gone, and you will feel a
sense of genuine relief.
Ely's Cream Balm not only wards
off catarrh, but will quickly cure even
a chronic, long-standing case of ca.
tarrh. 1t takes the trouble right
where it starts, in the nose and throat,
cleanses, heals and strengthens the
raw, sore inside skin, or membrane,
and in this way drives out catarrh
and makes you proof against this
filthy, disgusting disease.
Summer colds, which often hang on
for weeks, can be quickly cured with
balm. All druggists sell it for fifty
cents a bottle, and the one bottle is
generally all that is needed to effect
a complete cure. Try it today.-THE
OWL DRUG STORE, F. E. Williams
& Sons, Proprietors, Hattiesburg.

has there been charged against or

herein, either directly or indirect
ly, more than the lawful rate of

Two points are here suggested fol-
note: First, it is provided in Section
3164 that all collections upon loans
in excess of the principal and ten per
cent interest thereon, shall be con.
sidered a spayments on the principal
loan. and the same shall be credited
accordingly. Hence the amounts SO
collected, in excess of the principal
and ten per cent interest, are illegal
and recoverable by borrowers. Sec
ond: According to the previous sec
at law can only be had by the con
nivance in the violation of the statute
by the justices of the peace; in not
requiring the affidavit which the lend
er must make. Here there seems
work for the grand jury. In con.
clusion The Herald having advised
the loan shark victims of their rights
under the law, advises every borrower
whose case parallels the two above
cited, to refuse further payments and
to employ counsel to sue for recovery
of amounts above what they legally
owe. BY clubbing their claims there
will be no difficulty in securing law
yers to take them in court. If par
ticular advice or perfection is wanted,
there is not worthy negro who has
not some white friend like Judge Dick

saved the Union and freed a race.
Was it worth while to preserve the
Union only to surrender it into the
hands of Mark Hanna's hooters? Was
one race emancipated in order that
Mark Hanna's shackles might be
placed upon several races?
When the Republican party had a
worthy mission the fate of the Repub-
lie hung more than once in the valor
of it's warrior citizens. How many of
them would have gone exultingly to
CORY graves if they have known what
we know and what, God help us, we
:. all have known in general way, for
sixteen years?
Penrose and Archbold reveal only a
part. What took place in New York
and Pennsylvania in 1904 took place
in every Hannaized state in the Union
not only in that year but in 1896, 1900
and 1908. Mckinley knew it. Roose-
welt knew it. Taft knew it. Every
body knew it.
Mark Hanna's Republican party
gave government into the hands OF
contributing corporations and trusts
By these great combinations three
Presidents were named, Roosevelt
among them. They bought party
and the party basely delivered up to
them people!
The Republican party of Lincoln
died when Mark Hanna appeared. The
Mark Hanna party of Roosevelt and
Taft is dying now.-New York World.

There has been no little discussion

attack, on the loan sharks at Green

the following from one of our read
ers. 1t is given a textual endorsement
To The Herald:
The action of the leading mem
bers of the Greenville bar in offer
ing their services to suppress the
loan sharks" deserves the COM
mendation of all right-thinking
people. II there ever was a
crime against God and humanity,
the practice ;of lending money to
the ignorant, and needy at from
20 to 35 cents on the dollar per
month is one. 1t is needless to
go into details. 1t is a crime. 1t
should be suppressed everywhere.
Words are inadequate to express
the crying ihiquity of it all to one
who has seen some of its work
ings. 1t is making paupers and
thieves of hundreds of negroes.
Greenville's example should be
followed by Vicksburg.
JUSTICE.
The extent to which this violation
of Code Chapter 80 is carried is but
little known. In the hope if not the
belief that publicity may lead to the
suppression of this crying iniquity,"
which is quite as criminal and more
abhorrent to the sense of justice than
blind tigering, The Herald will pub
