The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1913-06-17

Woodrow Wilson again enthused his
friends, carried dismay into the ranks
of his enemies, and electrified the
country when, the other day, he called
attention to the lobby that Is here
striving to fill the Democratic tariff
of 1918 with party perfidity and party
dishonor. Do you know whence comes
the power that Woodrow Wilson pos
sesses and exercises? 1t is simple,
very simple, and here is the how of it:
Mr.. Wilson, as public servant, acts
so that every citizen may scan his
every public act But that is not all:
He is resolved that all of the country
shall behold the official acts of all
the other public servants. No more
are we going to have any more OF
that yelled prophet business that Tom
Moore wrote so exquisitely about. Ev-
erything is to be done in the open.
1t is a free show and continuous per-
Torrance. The doors are open all the
biIu6, anu oil may OhIOt WANhSNS A'-SO'
and without price.
Now, everybody knows that the
lobby has been here for years and
years, and everybody knows that II
is here right now, stronger than ever
before in men and money; but the
16,pby is as helpless as an angle worm
d u a pin hook.
Y amidst the Argus-eyes and din
And tell-tale glare of noon"
And this devil of man Wilson Ii
grimly resolved that the lobby shall

You can't fool Wilson. You can
,cajole him. You can't intimidate him
You can't bring him to compromise
principle. You can't swerve him fror
a path he has resolved to tread. Her

steal the space in my newspapers to
tell'you the story of Credit-Mobelier.
1t is the finest tale of the lobby. When
bill" King was postmaster of the
House of representatives. was it
the Senate? They called him "King
William" and he was king of the
lobby. Nobody dared to get an ap-
preparation through Congress- with
out the approval of king William"
1t was in the days of Southern Recon
struction, and the highest ideal of
statecraft was ito make treason
odious." A denunciation of JEFF Davis
amply condoned corrupt marketing
of a vote on roll call involving tens
of millions.
The only enterprise king William"
undertook that was failure was his
attempt to make peace between Ros-
coe Conkling and James @. Blaine. The
latter knew that he could never carry
New York in race for President with
| the former hostile to his candidacy,
and he commissioned king William"
to tell Conkling a cock-and-bull story
it was in 1SS0-to the effect that IL
Conkling would become candidate for
President he, Blaine, would withdraw
and support the lordly Roscoe for the
nomination. King undertook the mis-
/ L.. fntk
hopeful of a successful issue Of the
scheme.
Conkling was as fond of a good
horse of Gen. Grant, and King had
pair that was the envy of all Wash
Iington. He invited Conkling to go
driving with him one pleasant after
noon and they made circuit of the
town and round about. Late In the day
they were at Cabin John, and King,
discovering that his companion was
delighted with his drive, opened the
great question AMI revealed his mis-
sion.
Conkling's face set like flint. Major
General Andrew Jackson was not
better hater. Reaching over, he took
| the lines, and capital driver he was
Turning the horses toward home, he
drove them to Wormley's where he
lived, at breakneck speed. Not word
spake he. When he arrived at the
hotel, he threw the lines to King

you the ownership of them. Good
bye"
Bill King sadly drove home and ne
then realized that James G. Blaine
would never be President.
Perhaps there are no Sam WARDS
or Bill" Kings; but the lobby is here
and Just as vicious as in that elder
day. But we have fallen on times wher

ment for . reduction In present tele-

companying the figures. MIR. Sunny
said:
We feel that upon the showins
made In the hearing before the com.
mittee OF the City Council there
should be NO reduction In the present

The surplus for dividends In 1912
was equal to 0.3s per cent on the

The total number Of telephones De.
cember 81. 1912. was 3S2,537, az com.
pared with 202,6S1 December 81, 1907,
indicating that the company's bust.

tinues to be largely In the low.priced

Former Mayor Marshall received

Saying that the death toll would
reach 1000.
Throngs of excited groups of peo-
pie from the flood stricken section
crowded into rescue headquarters
and asserted that the estimates of
the loss were not exaggerated. The
true extent of the tragedy and the
exact number of deaths will not be
known for days, when the mass OF
wreckage, houses and uprooted trees
