THEY'D KICK IF YOU DIDN'T
KISS EN- THIS BOY VERS|

Signing himself "Boysterously
Yours, F. B. NJ" in a letter to The
News today, declares that women are
just as inconsistent in Hattiesburg
as they always have been and that
they have shown it in their recent at
tacks on the alleged speed" of Hat
tiesburg boys.
His letter says:
Sir:-I saw in your columns sew
eral days ago, an article from Mr.. Cal
Ion of Brookhaven, with reference to
the discussion now going on between
the boys and girls, and | entirely
agreed with him. He evidently has had
experience with girls. AS he says,
every healthy boy desires to kiss a
girl and if the girl does not wish it
so, she should give him to understand
such attentions were not wanted, and
every boy, being Southern, and. there
fore, gentleman, would not bother
ner with dlStaStelul attentions. 10
the contrary, the majority of girls
fail to do this, but even give the boy
strong encouragement towards mu-
tual osculation. My personal opinion
is. that eight out of every ten girls
in Hattiesburg, dearly love to be ca
ressed in this manner: this may
sound ungallant, which I would not
wish, but that is my belief. The ma
| jority of the girls / know, and they
are not few, will discuss freely with {
boy, the bliss of kiss. In some au
thor's words what a strange thing i:
a kiss, The small boy gets it; tht
young man has to steal it. The baby!

The Western Union
Increases Salaries
.OfIts Messengers
YOUTHFUL MESSENGERS GET A
RAISE OF 33 1-3 PER
CENT TODAY.

Did you notice anything peculiar
about the speed, the manner, and the
mode of delivery of the messenger
boys employed by the Western Union
Telegraph Company today? Didn't
you observe that the youthful mer-
curies were going about their work
of delivering kilograms and answering
calls very much like Bob Burman
goes around a speedway track at an
automobile race?
There's a Reason.
l.. K. McNees, local manager of the
Western Union offices called his boys
into his private office this morning,
and whispered into their ears some
thing that seemed to put new life into
them on this hot day. That some
thing was that each and every one OF
them was to receive, beginning today
an increase of 33 Is per cent in their
wages.
Can you blame them for taking on
new "pep?"
Not only will the youngsters gel
this substantial raise, but more boys
are to be put to work in the office
Mr.. McNees says that the business o.
the local office is increasing rapidly
and that more messages are being re
lceived daily than a month ago. Con
sequently more boys are needed.
| So if a blue-uniformed boy, in hi:
excitement runs over you while on tht
| street to deliver a message, dom
swear at him. You probably woul'
be just as "peppy" if you got 33 +
per cent raise yourself.

Object of Meeting.

OBJECT OF meeting.
The call issued, is for the following
purposes:
"To appoint managers to hold the
Democratic primary election on Au-
gust 3.
"To place the names of candidates
on the ticket, and to do and perform
such other duties as may be necessary
in arranging for the said primary cleo
ton"
Concerning those eligible to vote
in the coming primaries is the follow
ing dispatch from Jackson today:
With the near approach of the state
election the attorney-generaPs office
is deluged with inquiries from citizens
who seem to be unable to keep their
minds clear concerning the laws re-
lating to qualified voters.
While the attorney-generald does not
issue official rulings for individuals,
| inquiries of this character are fully
answered in a ruling issued from the
department of justice in 1912, where
in it is specifically held that the party
| who offers to vote must have paid
poll tax for the two proceeding years
and not merely for the year in which
he offers to vote. This opinion was
signed by Attorney General Ross A
| Collins and his two assistants, Claude
| Clayton and Capt. Frank Johnson, anC
concludes as follows.
| eve are of the opinion, therefore
| that the assessment of the poll ta1
must be the basis of legal liability
and the failure to pay an assessed
poll tax constitutes the delinquency o
the taxpayer, and his consequent dis
qualification as an elector."

TR|ANA DISCUSSES
 MONROE DOCTRINE
Preserve Western Hemi- sphere From Internal as
 Well as External Invasion

Boston, Mass, June 12.--Al covenant ment the Monroe doctrine and preserve the integrity of the western hemisphere was proposed by Senor Santiago Perez Triana, delegate from Colombia to the recent Pan-American financial conference, at banquet given here tonight in honor of these delegates by the Boston Cham Der of Commerce.
 Tn order to secure the whole -souled support of the Monroe doctrine through out the length and breadth of the con- tinent," said Senor Triana, that doctrine must be carried to the extreme length of its logical development The Monroe doc Urine has closed effectively the continent to European conquest, but 1t has not pre- vented the exercise of conquest in both sections of the continent. I am formu- lating no indictment, my contention is purely analytical It should be enacted and eovenanted among all the nations of the continent that the territory of the American nations is no longer subject for conquest, either from within or without the hemisphere.
 Such a declaration, as far as the Uni ted States is concerned, has already been made by the President; it is not to be supposed that any other American repub. lie should be less explicit Internal in violability is the essential foundation oi inviolability from the outside. The prop. osition that violence and pillage-that is to say, conquest-are iniquities in the stranger and virtues in the neighbor is unworthy to be maintained or accepted by any self-respecting peoples"
 Senor Triana's S speech marked the con. clusion of the trip which the delegates have been taking about the country foi two weeks. They spent today in Boston The Colombian delegate was chosen by those in charge of the trip to make the final speech In this city.

Chicago, June 12.-Mayor Thompson apparently made little progress today in his efforts to avert the threatened strike of employees of the street car and elevated companies. The mayor held two conferences with representatives |.of the street car employees unions and had one meeting with traction off cials.
 The employees declined to submit to arbitration and insisted upon their orig. inal demand for wage increase The
 street ear officials offered to arbitrate and asked that no strike be called until
 meeting of the board of directors was
 held Monday to pass on the question. The labor leaders said they would
 notify the mayor if 1t was decided to
 postpone action until Monday.
