HOW CAN THIS STATE MAKE
PROGRESS.

The truce that was entered into by
the two political factions in Missis
sippi following the close of the Hobbs
Bilbo incident has been broken and
the commonwealth will be in another
turmoil lasting two years or more.
Whether Governor Brewer broke
faith or whether Lieutenant Governor
Bilbo did has not been ascertained,
but the truce has nevertheless been
shattered. There is no principle or
policy at stake; it is merely contest
between men, between personalities !;
and there is no telling what height
the hatred and passion of the Missis-
sippians will reach in the next two
years.
In the selection of the next legisla-
ture, the candidates will have no fur
ther platform than that being a Bilbo
advocate or a Brewer adherent, and
along these lines will the fight be
waged.
No state ever accomplished any
thing under these conditions; it is a
matter of impossibility for a state or
city or nation to make the proper
progress when these circumstances OBJ
tain. There is nothing to be gained
by the commonwealth and very little
to be gained by the victor in the per-
sonal fight.
What the people of Mississippi
should do is to rise in their might and
elect men who are taking no interest
whatever in the personal issues In
volved, stand squarely for such con-
structive legislation as the state needs.
But will they do II?
Not in Mississippi. (Tenn.)

NelOS From the Tripod

except on such experimental farms, to
cultivate or do general farming bust
ness on said land"
Despite the predictions that I'M
amended the Bailey bill will make a
desert of South Mississippi, the SEN
ate put the same through unamended.
The Herald trusts the amendment
quoted win be adopted in the house
, in response to the South Mississippi
cutlery. We look upon the assumed
harm of corporation land holding as
fictitious in the main, distorted and
overdrawn. Whatever ills might re-
suit from ten times as much of cor
poration ownership as there is, or
would have been without the 1912
statute, is altogether outweighed by
the crying need of land settlement
and development which would be pro-
mote the corporation organization
This is real, while the thing against
which the law is launched is imagi-
nary
We doubt, however, if the amend
ment proposed in the house will, if en-.
acted, supply much modification of
the effects of the Bailey bill, or the
law of 1912. 1t cannot remove the
prejudice raised against the illiberal
and intolerant spirit of such legisla
ton. No adjoining state has shown
any like corporation suspicion, and
hostility. The contrast makes the
folly of it all the more conspicuous and
prejudicial, in a state which should
invite instead Of repel. all possible
agencies for -homesteading the cutover
lands Of Southeast Mississippi. and for
restoring the cultivation Of boil weevil
devastated farms Of the Southwest
counties.

NEW FARMERS COMING IN.

We" F%V@chS CUNNING IN.
Our neighbors of South Mississippi
are developing that portion of the
state in way that has been remark
able in the last seven or eight years.
They have the idea over there that a
good farming family is worth con-
siderably more to the community than
tract of unoccupied, stumpy land
or the possibilities of that same land
some day or other. To illustrate what
is being done, we quote the following
item from The Hattiesburg News:
1.-THE heads of nineteen families
came to South Mississippi Thursday.
They were from Chicago, Cleveland
and other sections of the middle West
Not one Of them had ever seen South
Mississippi before They left today,
every man OF them owning a South
Mississippi farm. They are going
back for their families and Will return
within a few weeks to operate their
newly acquired properties. d. =.
1.-THE total amount of cut-over land
sold yesterday was 1,24O acres. The
size of the farms sold ranged from 40
to 100 acres. Two men bought 100
acres each; six bought 80 acres and
eleven bought 40 acres. Estimating
that there are three children in each
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1914-03-13

family, it means that the population
of South Mississippi is to be increased
by ninety-five. -
There's a reason-indeed, there
are several reasons. In the first
place, these nineteen men are expert
enced farmers. They know good farm
land when they see 1t, and when they
looked at the land around Sumrall,
they knew they had found what they
wanted. i.
"In the second place. the price was
right. Most Of them came from the
fertile plains of Illinois and Ohio,
where the price Of good land Is too
high for any Of them to own enough
to make a living on. They bought
their choice Of several hundred thou
sand acres yesterday. and they paid
only $1S an acre for it."
These cut-over lands are by-product.
They cost their owners nothing; be-
cause at the time the timber was pur-
chased the land was not considered
of any value. In some parts of the
country land is held too high. The
owners in Mississippi have the right
idea that it is better to let part of the
land go at reasonable prices and get
developers on it. In this way the re
naming land unsold is enhanced upon
a basis of real and not merely specu
lative value.-Mobile Register.

Glenn Curtis to Build Another
Flying Machine for Rod
man Wanamaker.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.--Glenn H,
Curtiss is to build another trans-At-
lantic flying boat for Rodman Wanna
maker, and the oyerocean fight WIFI
be started as soon after the machine
Is ready as weather conditions are
right. The flying boat probably will
be ready BY early summer.
Porte in England
The new transatlantic flying ma
chine will be larger than the America
which was completed at the Curtiss
factory in Hammondsport for Mr..
Wanamaker last summer. The Eu-
ropean war began before Lieut.. John
Cyril Porte, r. n, NJ. Wahamaker's
aviator was ready to start across the
ocean in the America, and the an
!nouncement followed that the trans
Atlantic attempt would not be made
unil after the war.
Recently the flying boat America
was sold to the British admiralty. and
was shipped to England on the Maui
retania. Some excellent flights have
been reported with this machine
abroad.
Lieut. Porte went to England at the
first call for reserves and is now head
,of the navy flying school at Hendon.
The new Wanamaker transatlantic
fight plan calls for machine nearly
as large as the giant Sikorsky aero
bus at Petrograd. 1t will have a
spread OF more than 100 feet from
wing tip to wing tip.
Largest Overwater Machine
The America measures seventy-six
feet across and the wing spread OF
Sikorsky's latest aerobus is 1913 feet.
Sikorsky's aeroplane, which is not
designed to alight on water, Is the
largest heavier than air flying ma
chine that ever has been successfully
launched. The new transatlantic
machine will be the largest overwater
machine ever attempted and the lar
gest flying machine Of any variety
ever seen in this country
The new plans call for so large a
machine that Mr.. Curtiss will not at
tept to build It in his aeroplane fac
tory at Hatnmondsport. Negotiations
are practically completed by which
the Curtiss Aeroplane Company takes
possession bf a large part Of the E.
r. Thomas automobile manufacturing
plant in Buffalo. and the new Wanna
maker machine will he built there.
Ssari rom Buffalo
This change does not mean that
the Hanimondsport factory will be
abandoned. THE .Curtiss Motor Conn
pany, viii continue, operations IA
HAmmundspurt and much OF the ex-
perimentinE Will be done there. The

built in Buffalo hereafter. The build
ing Of the America taxed the Ham
mondsport plant to its utmost so far
az floor space was concerned. and
the machine had to be finallH assem-
bled out OF doors on the shore OF Lake
Keuka.
With the. change Of plans for the
transatlantic machine and the re-
lmoval OF the building operations to
Buffalo 1t follows that the plans for
the fight itself have been changed.
The new flying boat, 1t Is expected,
will be capable of ascending into the
air at Buffalo and flying straight 10
the coast Of ireland.
The route planned by Lieut.. Porte
was from st. Johns n. F., to the
Azores, from there to yigo, Spain,
and then on to Plymouth, England.
Actual plans for the fight in the
new machine have not been carefully
considered yet, nor will they be until
the maci,ina 1t tested nvar Lake Erie,
but 1t is expected the flight will De
made direct from America to the
Irish coast. The actual start will
doubtless be made from the coast OF
Newfoundland near st. Johns, al
though 1t may be found that the cas-
lest way to get the giant flying boat
to Newfoundland will be to hy 1t.
Won't Wait for Wars End
1t was at first thought necessary to
wait until after the war before max
ing the fight, but It has now been
practically decided that unless untor-
seen complications arise in the way
|of obtaining permits the flight will DO
made when the machine is ready,
whether the war is over or not.
Lieut.. Porte will navigate the new
air craft unless his position with the
British admiralty makes ii impossible
for him to obtain a leave Of absence.
There are several American aviators
anxious to take Lieut.. Porte's place,
but both Mr.. Wanninaker and Mr..
Curtiss have always felt flight over
the. Atlantic requires navigator as
we'll as an aviator and for that reas-
on they prefer Lieut.. Porte.
More Horse Power
Mr.. Wanamaker's new trans-Atlan-
tic machine will be fitted with three
engines with d total rating of more
than 400 horse power. Two 200 horse
power motors. recent development
of the Curtis Motor Company, will
be installed; one on each side oil the
cockpit, where the America had 100
horse power motors. 1t is likely a
third. motor will be added though the
exact horse power OF 1t has not been
determined The total horsepower
will be nearly twice that Of the Amer
lea.

Deserves More Tourists.
On the contrary, Masurenland is.
OF such beauty as to deserve many
more tourist visitors than have ever
wandered there. In summer, It is a
region Of continuous, unexpected
pleasures; an intimate land OF little
lakes and even country, bathcd in AN,
air spicy with evergreen tang; Of de-
iightful waterside drives, miniature
Islands In the midst Of forest-dark-
ened pools, OF wild, wood-fringed,
larger waters, and, altogether. Of
endlessly interesting combinations of
water, woodland, sequestered villages
and reclaimed fields.
East Prussia's lake region is worth
a visit. II has nothing OF the Inn
pressiye grandeur OF the Alps, where
one never does get upon familiar
terms with surrounding nature. but
It Is a place and, IN this characteris-
tic, stands in sharp contra distinction

Suffragist Urge Passage of Bill Granting Vote on Con-
 gressional Elections.

Washington, March 24zWoman suf- fragists. headed by the Rev. Olive Brown, Of Wisconsin president Of the Federal Suffrages association, today sought the aid of the House elections comnittee in behalf of the French bill which would provide that women who are citizens of thes United states and possess the qualifications required of meh voters shall be eligible to vote ..in all the states of the Union at cleo tions for members of the House of Representatives and the United States .Senate-s,
 Mrs Clara Bewick Colby, of Port land. Ore, speaking in support of the bill.s cited the decision of Chief Jus. tice Fancy that the words people of fhe United States. and sscitizens'. are synon yIlous terms and mean the same thing and added that the consti titution now provided that ssthe people should choose the members of the House and Senate.
 Mrs. Colby further pointed out that woman, by leaving the states where they now vote. not only lost their To- cal rights but were treated as though they were no longer citizens of the United States.
