Some Of these Swiss dresses are design

There are many things other than

There ID courtesy. for instance. Be-

that there is not growth enough to en-

for the stranger, the friend: impatience,
sharpness, and discourtesy for those
who are nearest Of all.
Home II Best school.
We hear Of schools of courtesy for
the railway employe. the telephone oper-
ator. the salesman. and others. but the
best school OF all 10 the home.
And there Is nothing quite 30 pretty
or 90 significant as the little tricks Of
gentleness, from child to parent, those
little showings Of courtesy that are

It is a pity that It is so, but most OF

the greater the sacrifice and the effort TO

by women from every section OF the

Since the beginning OF the Ideal Man"
contest last Tuesday morning have re-
ceived hundreds OF pen pictures from as
many women. and OF them all not one
has expressed q desire for any other life
than that of q homemaker. Not one has
said that she wanted to travel either
the political business. or professional
path travelled by her Ideal Man." save
as his always interested home-partner,
wife, and sweetheart.
The standard OF manhood upheld by
the women readers or The washington
Herald Is high. Some OF the descriptions
submitted in the contest have been in
consistent. Many women have aimed at
the stars. wanting angels where men
were better, but in every Instance the
home-loving. maternal, thoroughly femi-
nine instinct has predominated, which
wrote me the other day that women are

Personally, / am proud Of the women
who have written me SO frankly the
sort Of man they would want to marry.
They have placed fine qualities above
good looks: character above wealth;
true companionship abovesfine manners.
In fact, they have shown themselves
desirous only OF men who hold home
sacred; men who want women as real
partners in the business Of marriage.

their bludgeons and smote the ball
with such effect that enough runs
came their way to take the lead by
one.
But that was nothing to what fol
lowed. The doughty "Toilfearers"
put one of their own men to the count,
and before their opponents discovered
the ruse they were a dozen or two in
the lead. Then the others executed a
flank movement, the whole crew run

again the score was tied-43 to 40.

CITY PRIMARY ELECTION TANGLE
TOPIC OF GENERAL DISCUSSION


The question in Hattiesburg today
that win not down is that of city
primary. The action of the Demo
cratic Executive Committee in rescind-
ing their order for primary in Au-
gust, is being discussed very freely,
without anyone seeming to be able to
tell what will be the effect. II is
pointed out by some that since there
seems to be conflict in the law itself
which meant to put elections every
four years in towns of $4,000 popula-
ton, and every two years in towns
under $4,000. there should be some
way to get judicial decision as to
the intent of the law and it's applica-
tion to Hattiesburg
The opinion of a very prominent
lawyer has been expressed to News
representative that it is more than
probable that the supreme court would
construe the law according to what
seemed to have been the legislative
intent and give all towns with less
than $1,000 population as shown by
the census the right to hold elections
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1912-07-10

every two years. The effect of such
a decision would then leave the mat
ter with the city charter, which says
that an election for a mayor and COM
missioners shall be held in Deem
Der. 1910, and every two years there
after.
1t is quite manifest that when the
commission form of government was
petitioned for and voted upon it was
with the understanding and stipula-
ton that an election be held in 1910
end every two years thereafter. This
statement is based on the petition on
file in the city clerks office, the certifi-
cate made to the secretary of state
after the election and the original
proclamation of the governor, grant
ing Hattiesburg commission form of
government.
The claim is frequently made that
at least eighty per cent of the voters
want an election and that failure to
order one may result in free-for-all
race in December and ultimately the
selection of a plurality candidate.
