CHAPTER xxxIV.

A night of velvet blackness, softly
opaque, lay upon land and water. The
police launch, shuddering with the vi
brations of motor running at high
tension, sped down the silent reaches
OF Rangoon River like hunted ghost.
She ran without lights, these having
been extinguished by COUGHS direc-
tions, regardless of harbor regulations
or danger. Happily the hour was late
enough to relieve them of much fear
of trouble with other craft; the upper
reaches of the river were practically
deserted.
In the bow Couch was handling the
wheel with the nonchalance of one
from whom the river had no secrets
by night or day. To O'Rourke 1t seemed
no light task to pilot SO slight craft
at such high speed through that

CONFIDENCE VITAL

representatives of the big business in

the work that he and his paper have
done and are doing for the community.

treating of newspaper making gener
ally--the duties and responsibilities
of the editor and publisher, and then
had this to say about advertising:
Advertising in a good newspaper is
profitable advertising. If you have
something to sell you can go to a job

off and distribute them around town
That is advertising in the crude state
Put the same matter in any kind of a
newspaper and that is advertising in
more advanced and effective forlh. In

THE HIGHEST STATE.
AS time goes on and the confidence
and esteem of the reader attach them
selves to the paper THE HABIT OF
READING THE ADVERTISEMENTS
in that paper becomes fixed and an
advertising medium is established.
The subtle forces that enter into
the establishment of a paper as a pa
per in which ads are read are perfect
ly well recognized in the newspaper
business. 1t is not necessary every
time you stand up for the right in
your newspaper to pollute your action
with the thought that you are going to
get paid for it in the long run. 1t is
enough to have a serene conviction
that IF YOU RUN YOUR PAPER
RIGHT AND GIVE THE PUBLIC A
SQUARE DEAL the counting room
will take care of itself.
And he said this other thing about
newspapers:

READER is A VITAL FACTOR IN

the intelligent and faithful perform
ance OF the primary function of pub

sense of proportion and responsibility
belong to this item. / think that one
of the greatest injuries suffered by
modern journalism comes to 1t
through lack of full sense OF the re-
sponsibility that there is upon the
newspaper and the newspaper man.
Mr.. Hanson is determined that his
newspaper shall stand for news that
lie reliable and the printing of adver-
tisements that can be believed in.
From reports that come to me
about the Birmingham News, 1t is
forging to the front rapidly because
OF the practice of its ideals. The aver
age newspaper publisher is giving
more serious thought than he ever
did to the responsibility placed upon
him. so far as the publication of a
reliable newspaper is concerned.

Dr. Crafts, Gov. Wilson believes in

SOCIALIST Will
lecture TONIGHT
Clarence II. Taylor Will Make a Short
Street Talk and Then Lecture
at the Court House.

Clarence H. Taylor of Baltimore,
Md, organizer and lecturer for the
Socialists party is in the city. He
will deliver an address at the Court
house tonight and previous to this
meeting will deliver short talk at
the corner of Pine and Main streets.
Mr.. Taylor comes highly recommend
ed as a platform speaker and states
that tonight he will present some
facts and figures of rather startling
nature. He spoke at Quitman on last
Saturday night and this was the first
Socialists address ever delivered in
that place. He states that a large
crowd was in evidence and much in
terest manifested in Socialism. In
speaking of the McNama case, Mr..
Taylor stated that the great army of
men that go to make up the Socialist
party are not in sympathy with the
means employed by the dynamiters
in gaining their ends. That the pri-
mary essentials advocated by
all thinking officers of this organiza-
ton, was in direct contrast to taking
measures of violence to gain their
ends. While the socialist press of
America thought the McNamaras
were innocent, they were no different
from the thousands of honest Ameri-
can workingmen who endeavored to
help them in what they conscientious
ly believed was right. He stated that
the McNamaras were not Socialists
and the idea of trying to use the argu'
ment of their deeds against the party
was boost and had done nothing ia
discourage the progress of the party
in this and ether states.
Mr., Tayler has been on the plat
form for the Socialists and has been
in "A states, Canada and Mexico in
the interests of his party. The street
talk will comence at 1880 tonight and

it had been long time brewing, be-

taken by those who opposed the revo-

Thursday at Guayaquil when Gen. Pc

President by the troops after the
death of Estrada, was shot and be
headed by mob which later burned
his body. The shooting of Monterc
took place in the court room where
the General had just been tried BY

CARNIVAL CO. HERE;
NOPLANS TO SHOW
Advance Man Has Disappeared and
Made no Local Preliminary
Arrangements.

A carnival company arrived in Hat
tiesburg Saturday night, and accord
ing to the announcement of their
manager, John R. Smith, he sent an
advance man in front of the troupe
to arrange for a weeks stand in this
place. Mr.. Smith had heard nothing
recently from the man, but it is not an
unusual thing for them to be without
communication with the man in front
for a week at time. The last heard
of the advance man was that the car
nival was billed for Hattiesburg and
would be given under the auspices of
the local fire department, commenc-
ing today and remaining for one
week. Imagine the CONSERVATION and
surprise of the company when they
arrived here and found that
they were not only not advertised,
but that the advance man had never
been seen here. The firemen
of the city were unaware that the
company would be here and about one
hundred members of the company are
stopping at the boarding houses
around town awaiting some develop
ment that will put them to work.
1t is announced that if satisfactory
arrangements can be made the
company will probably play some
where in the city.

STRIKERS TO BE TRIED

Henry c. Niles, of the Federal court,
will reach here this afternoon from
Kosciusko to preside at the prelimi-
nary examination of fifteen Illinois
Central strikers and strike sympathiz-
ers who are charged with being in
contempt of the Federal Injunction.
The prisoners will be brought from
McComb City on the early train Tues
day morning, accompanied by their
attorneys and witnesses summoned
in their behalf.
1t will probably take two days or
longer to dispose of the cases, as 1t is
understood that some of the parties
intend to put up a stiff fight
On the other hand, deputies from
the United States marshal's office and
special agents of the Illinois Central
declare that they have positive evil
dence in each case,
! In view of the fact that Judge
Niles was very lenient with the dozen
I or more persons arraigned at the No
vember term of Federal court In this
city charged with contempt of the in
junction, and actions in restraint of
interstate commerce, he will probably
put stiff penalties on the parties who
are convicted in this instance. -

HARVEY-WlLsoN EPISODE.

Colonel Harvey, editor of Harper's
Weekly, journal of civilization"
and other periodicals, has claimed to
be a realist in politics. He has been
bold, free and candid in dealing with
men and things. 1t is natural, there
fore, to suppose that he appreciates
realism and candor in others-up to
a certain point.
Now, Woodrow Wilson is also a
realist in politics. He is downright
and frank, and he says what he
thinks. When he told Harvey, a
friend and enthusiastic supporter,
that the advocacy of his presidential
candidacy by Harpers Weekly was
affecting his boom injuriously, he
stated a fact. Many other observers
had perceived that fact and wondered
about it. Colonel Harvey must have
seen it, or sees it now. He may be
sorry, but he cannot be angry.
Doubtless Governor Wilson was and
is sorry, but he could not put friend
ship and personal esteem above high
and broad considerations of a public
nature.
Even realists and free lances are
human and have small weaknesses,
and far he it from us to indict hui
man nature Still. in the dry light
Of pure logic and fact we are entitled
TO point out that the thoroughgoine
realist would have said something
like this to Governor Wilson: "You
are right must admit it. My
paper unfortunately, is not regarded
as sufficiently progressive and Demo
cratic by the masses whose votes
you'll need. I must be less ardent
and more discreet, I must dissemble
my love. I want to help you and
thank you for your candor. After all
the public good as we see it is para
mount. We are practical reformers
and must reckon with popular in
stincts, prejudices, notions"
The conversation which did occur
we gather from Colonel Harvey's re
luctant statement to his readers, was
somewhat different in tenor. stfl1
