who would come with their burnt Of
ferings, with colors of year DID," yea,
thousands of rams or ten thousand
rivers of oil. Nor does this mark the
limit of human sacrifice for sin. The
prophet asks shall give my first born
for my transgression? for the sin Of
my soul? This human cry for escape
from the thraldom of sin is universal,
and it finds it's answer only in the re-
| ligion of Jesus Christ. When Jesus
came on earth as the Fathers answer
to the cry of the soul, 1t was that He
| might show us the perfect pattern.
God delighteth not in burnt offerings,
| or in that form of human sacrifice
which would purchase with material
substance the forgiveness and favor
of a justly offended God. Jesus the
perfect Man, teaches in the golden
rule, to do justly, to love mercy, and
to walk humbly with thy God. Jus.
tice and mercy define our relations to
our fellows Humility before God is
the correct attitude of the creature
towards the Creator.

The Martin Printing Co. has had on

fine specimens of book work. One en-
tire show window is taken up with
the display and the exhibit includes
work for Forrest county, for The First

Co., and others. The Martin Print.
ing Co. does excellent work along this
line, as good as the large shops in the
larger cities, and at most reasonable
prices. There is no reason why any
book work should be sent
out of the Hattiesburg ter
ritory. Mr.. Martin has made
these exhibitions for the past foul
years at Heidelberg's and O'Ferrall'l

probation publicly for the courtesiei

is THE NOMINATION TO BE
BOUGHT?


Mr.. Tafts campaign managers make
the definite and specific charge that
money carried the Maryland primaries
for Roosevelt.
To quote from a statement issued
from the Taft headquarters:
More than half of Roosevelt's en-
tire delegate vote came from the city
and county of Baltimore, where, it is
stated, the Roosevelt managers placed
$4,000 among their workers at an
early hour yesterday. at least 80 per
cent of the negro vote Of Baltimore
was cast for Roosevelt.
| And again:
| In Prince Georges county, the last
to be heard from and which definitely
decided the contest SO far as present
returns indicate, Roosevelt money In
large amounts was poured into the
county. Large rolls of small bills,
accompanied by checks to be used II
needed, were sent out from Washing
ton on Sunday.
paign managers is that every one of
these statements is a deliberate, viii
full lie;" but this Is substantially what
Mr.. Roosevelt said in 1904 in answer
to Judge Parker's charges. Yet we
know now that the Parker charges
were true. We know that at the time
Mr.. Roosevelt so vigorously denied
them, Mr. Hartman had already visit
ed the White House by Mr.. Roose-
velt's invitation and Mr.. Hartman
had returned to Wall street to raise
the 100000 by which Eat least $4,000
votes were turned in the city of New
York alone. making a difference of
100000 votes in the general result"
That the Roosevelt third-term cam
paign is lavishly financed is proved
u by the sworn statements which his
campaign managers in New York were
; obliged to file after the recent pri-
I maries. These statements showed that
u the Roosevelt managers had spent
e nearly 100000 in this city to poll To-
q 900 votes. If Mr. Roosevelt can spend
IS money at the rate of 81 vote here
/ what is he spending elsewhere? Whal
u would Mr.. Roosevelt say If Mr.. TAFT
e had refused to proceed against the
Steel Trust and the Harvester Trus1
and it subsequently appeared tina
George w. Perkins was financing the

terms of the ultimatum that the an
thracite miners who are gathering
here today will present to the opera
tors. These demands, it is believed,
will be ratified by the convention at
its session tomorrow, and If not &C.
cepted by the operators a strike will
follow.
Four hundred local unions Of the
three districts directly involved have
each appointed delegate to the con-
vention. The questions in dispute will
be thoroughly discussed and it is ex-
pected that the convention will take
final vote on each proposition to-
morrow.
1t is intimated, however, that even
should a strike be voted by the con-
vention here it's actual Inauguration
may be postponed for weeks and posi-
bly, months pending further efforts of
the committees of operators and min
ers to get together AMI agree upon a
peaceful settlement. According to
one influential delegate, the conven-
tion may appoint new mediators to
treat with the operators with the view
of averting strike.
1t is declared that in case of strike
the anthracite coal now in storage In
all the anthracite region would pro,
vide only a three weeks supply. In
view of this fact the miners believe
they have the upper hand and there is
grim determination among them. They
are set in their opinion that they have
not been given a square deal by the
operators, and most of the delegates
declare that four years agreement is
entirely too long a time to work with
the slight concessions offered them.
