Want Public Drinking Fountains.

At the regular meeting of the
council last night, City Supt. j. S.
Landers presented to the council a
petition signed by some 200 citizens
asking that the city install at least
three public drinking fountains on
the main thoroughfares inasmuch as
the recent state law abolished the
drinking cup, leaving the city unpro-
vided with accommodations for slack
ing the thirst Of the pedestrian. The
move was started by the Civic Reli-
gious League and Is endorsed not only
by many individual citizens but by
the ladies of the Civic club and BY
the library board as well.

"ANYTHING TO OPEN COAL

Governor Says People Have Reached

ship.

San Francisco-"While the people
of Alaska have favored government
ownership of railroads and leasing
of coal mines in the territory, the con.
tinued delay in getting any sort of
transportation and or opening the
coal fields has brought them to a
point where they are about ready to
accept any alternative just so action
il had on these two vital factors in
the life of Alaska said Governor
Walter E Clark of the northern ter
ritory in discussing the most pressing
needs of Alaska legislation. Governor
Clarks is on his way home from
Washington, and accompanied Secre-
tary of state Knox to San Francisco
from the southern part of the state.
Personally" he said, II favor gov
ernment ownership with not neces-
sarily government operation. 1t might
be more advisable to lease the rail-
roads for operation by private cor
poations. 1 am thoroughly in accord
with Secretary of the Interior Fishes S
scheme for railroad management in
Alaska
Government ownership and opera
ton of railroads is no longer an inno-
vation. Most people forget that the
government is operating the railroad
on the Panama isthmus.
"Of course another vital problem
with us is more lighthouses not only
along the coast, but on the interior
waterways, We need for safety tc
shipping at least treble the number
of lights we now have. 1t is possible
that the Titanic disaster with its ter
rible lesson of lack of safeguards o.
life may result in the establishment
of more beacons along the dangerous
northwestern and Alaskan coast"

Baptist Encampment Should
Be Encouraged By Citizens

1t is believed by many that the COM
ing of the South Mississippi S. S.
and B. Y. p. U. encampment to Hat
tiesburg this year means much to this
community; more indeed, than some
seem to realize. AS clearly shown by
the published program, there are many
intellectual treats in store for those
who attend; and the fact that large
number of enthusiastic church work
ers and young people, seeking mental
and social recreation are to remain in
the city for two full weeks, it is
claimed, means much as an advertise
ment, if Hattiesburg does its part II
is urged that the Baptists should no
be left aclne to make a success Of thii

REPUBLICANS FACING GREATEST
CRISIS IN PARTY's HISTORY
CONCLUDE FIGHT.
ROOSEVELT'S NAME NOT
PRESENTED TO CONVENTION
Closing Session of National Convention
was Merely Perfunctory-Progres-
sives Refused to Take Part In Pro-
ceedings-SpIit no Surprise.

Chicago June 24-With the party
admittedly facing the greatest crisis
in its history, VIM. Howard Taft, at
I9:15 o'clock Saturday was re-nomin-
ated for president of the United States
by the republican national convention.
The revolt of the Roosevelt dele
gates in the convention was open
from the moment the permanent roll,
containing the names of contested
delegates, was approved.
Henry J. Allen of Kansas, read a
"valedictory" statement on behalf of
Roosevelt asking that his name be
not presented and that his delegates
sit in mute protest against all further
proceedings. A great majority of the
Roosevelt delegates in Illinois and all
in Missouri and Idaho delegations de-
clined to follow the advice of Roose-
welt, but Roosevelt's sway of delega-
tions of California, Kansas, Maine,
Minnesota Nebraska, New Jersey
Pennsylvania, South Dakota and West
Virginia was all but absolute.
Most of the delegates from these
states announced their purpose oi
helping to give Roosevelt an inde
pendent nomination.
The split in the convention occa
stoned no surprise. 1t was but the full
fillment of predictions made the pas
few days.
The closing scenes of the convention
were marked by counter demonstra
tions for Taft and Roosevelt Th'
