The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1912-09-25

can war entitled, "The Filibusters. "

story of the adventures of a news
paper reporter and how he secured a
big item for his paper, which won
him promotion. The picture was TAX
en- in Florida and is instructive as
well as interesting. "The Listeners
Lesson" is a unique and laughable
bucolic comedy of two old spinsters
who rubber" over the phone, and
the dire result it brings on. A Libin
drama today entitled Honor Thy
Father" tells a story of an old
couple who was reduced to poverty
but was too proud to depend upon
their son. who offered them a home.
The son took care of them all right
but they didn't know it,

While JEFF McLemore was de-
feated in his race for the nomina-
ton as congressman at large, yet
he is legitimately a subject for con-
graduation upon the splendid race
he made. The very liberal support
which he received from the people
all over the state is a token Of the
wide popularity which the talented
editor of State Topic enjoys. Edi-
tor jeff declares he made the race at
the nominal expense of just thirty
dollars. Yet out of twenty candi-
dates he ran fourth in the race,
crowding those in the lead. AS an
nounced before the election, The
Herald differs from Mr.. McLemore
in some political points, yet it
wanted to see him elected, because
it knows hat his mental ability and
character are such as would have
made him a credit to the Lone Star,
and we regret sincerely that he was
one Of the losers.

THE GOVERNORS COMMON
SENSE.

Governor Colquitt must be cred
tied with a strong element of COM
mon sense, in which some of his
anti friends were so manifestly lack
ing. They apparently made the mis-
take Of believing that the Colquitt
victory was purely an anti victory.
They seem TO have forgotten that
seven out of ten state officers chosen
in the primary were pros. The gov
ernor understands, as all sane men
must understand, that the saloons
are by no means immune from
further political trouble; that they
are on their good behavior; that they
must get their own consent to a rea-
sonable measure or regulation or
they must go. He will serve the
saloons best who can get them to see
that they must obey the laws like
other people.

A DEGRADING SPECTACLE.

There Is an amazing frankness
about the statement attributed TO a
member of the Italian undertaking
firm in Mulberry street which has
charge Of the burial Of the five men
executed 1t Sing Sing Monday morn
ing for the murder of Mrs. Mart
Hall. He admits. according to the
Sun, that the bodies of these crimi-
nails were obtained from The prison
authorities on the strength of a pc
tition circulated through the efforts
of himself and his partner. signed
by 1900 people on the East Side.
The motive behind the petition Is
given in these words:
This is a good ad for Il bust

and are showing EN- here. We're
going TO keep them on exhibition all

~PARALYZED BY POLITICAL
PILFERING.

For one presidential nomination
there is to be no competition this
year. The populists are meeting at
st. Louis in national convention,
but the credentials committee has
nothing to do, and there is no indi-
cation that the committee on con-
tested seats will hold day and night
sessions, or, indeed, that it will
meet at all.
There's a reason. Years ago the
party had a choice collection of pro-
gressive principles, most of which
were then regarded as rabid and i'm
possible. It's claim upon them was
subject to no dispute. 1t vas in the
full enjoyment of a monopoly Of
such shibboleths as referendum,
initiative and recall. and nobody
dreamed of interfering with its po-
litical patents.
Things are different now. The
predicament Of the platform commit
tee is almost as pathetic as that of
the committee on contested seats.
During, SO to speak, its absence, its
premises have been invaded and
most Of its treasures spirited away.
An inventory of the property taken
shows that the democrats have pur-
Joined six of its planks the republic
cans four and the bull moose party
took eighteen.
Hence he absence of competition,
and hence the announcement that
the convention will tell the party to
do as it pleases on election day. It
is stated that nearly all Of its votes
will 60 to Roosevelt, which is as it
should be. For not only has he
taken eighteen radical planks, but
in other declarations not stolen he
has out-Heroded Herod. In other
words, he is more populistic than
the populists.
So as not to have all their trouble
for nothing, the convention will
adopt some resolutions. Not de-
nouncing those who committed
grand larceny, for this sort of theft
is really a compliment, but claiming
credit as pioneers. which is no more
than right and proper. To the So
cialists. this example is commended
as being worthy of consideration.
They can save time and trouble by
realizing thai they are not so social
istic as the third-term candidate,
who is glutted with stolen goods.
All heir wind Is bellying his sails.

MIAMI TO MONTREAL
Motorists Try to Secure Route from
Florida to Canada.

Firm In the belief that, IN the
very near future, the national gov
eminent will see its way clear to
give definite aid to the Improvement
of certain lines of highway, many
influential motorists in the Atlantic
coast states have enlisted under the
banner Of the International High
way association, to eeure early at
tention for a rout from Miami, Fla,
to Montreal, Canada.
The association has been hard at
work for S veral months. It's latest
measure has been to formally
chaperon the trip of the first car
which has ever covered the route.
The story Of the trip is now being
completed for use in the associations
campaign.
Originally it had been intended to
explore the route with a party of
four cars. This quartet left Miami
together June 10, but found terrific
going, as 0 as Palm Beach had
been passed. Record rains had
flooded the Florida swamps and the
bog holes were almost impossible to
heavy, high powered cars. Singly
three Of them gave up the battle,
only one continuing. This was a
Studebaker 90, owned and driven by
c. j. Martin, a Miami real estate
dealer.
Mr.. Martins car splashed along
steadily. At times the water was
above his running boards for miles
at a time. Fish wiggled along in
the wake of the car and alligators
poked out their long shouts to watch
the unusual sight. AT times shell
roads gave a pleasant variety, but
not until southern Georgia was
reached, did the going show perman-
ent Improvement.
Martins Studebaker 20 went over
the Blue Ridge of southern Virginia
in a downpour similar to that which
came so near annihilating last years
Glidden tour. but emerged IN
scathed on the Shenandoah Pike-the
road of a thousand toll gates"
Thence the route led through Phila-
delphia, New York, Albany and
aoIng Lake George and Lake Cham
plain to Plattsburg. The frontier
was crossed near Rouse's Point from
which the route lqd to Montreal
over a fine new road, built by the
government.
At Platssburg, the crew Of the a
was warmly received by President
HEdley and other members Of the
Information Highway Association.
Montreal also rendered an enthus-
iastic welcome.
The. trip of 2,301 miles consumed
10 running days, which could have
been cut materially, had the roads
been in even normal shape. Mrs.
Martin and A. j. Sheldon of Miami
we're with Mr.. Martin all the way.
Two tire p%unctures caused the only
delay for repairs and Mrs. Martins
proudest boast is based on the fact
that the entire trip was made with
extraneous help to The busy mo-
tor under the hood.
Mr.. Martin IS now starting on his
trip, which will be made by
way of Detroit, Cincinnati and At

by the Truck Growers Associa-

by the Truck Growers Associa-
tion, and the very best prices are
obtained. There is no danger
of over production, for the rea-
son that the irrigable section of
that country comprises only a
comparatively small area, and
the vegetables are raised when
they can not be raised in any
other section of the country.
For instance, the onions and
cabbage are put out in Novem-
Der, and are being taken off right
now. Nothing of that kind is
now being produced in the east
and north, and of course the
southern produce brings a fancy
price.
After the vegetable crops are
taken off, corn and cotton are put
in, a feed crop is raised, and
crops such as are grown in this
section of country are produced.
Corn makes two crops per year,
if one cares to raise two crops,
and there is then plenty of time
to put in the crops of winter
vegetables. Col. Bryan says a
real estate agent cannot lie about
that country, and after one sees
it he will agree with Bryan.
By raising the vegetable crops
in the winter time, when the
east and north are out of bust
ness so far as producing any
thing is concerned, absolutely no
time is lost. 1t is a twelve
month crop country, in the full
est sense.
We could fill this paper with
instances where men are simply
living easy and getting rich.
The crops are of course raised
by irrigation. The water is
taken from the Rio Grande river,
which always furnishes an album
dant supply in that section, and
the water is muddy. Being
muddy it of course carries a big
quantity of silt, and this keeps
the ground enriched.
The old San Juan sugar plan
tation has grown sugar cane on
the same piece of ground for Is
consecutive years, and the land
is not impoverished. The silt,
which carries about 81 per cent
fertilizer, renews the land.
The country is full of new and
thriving towns. The school
