FORUM OF THE
PEOPLE

| Editor The News.
1t is to be hoped that the little Leap
Year episode of yesterday, in which
the would-be bride. did not leap quite
as quickly as many of Hattiesburg' 8
young men had been led to believe
they would, 12345s 123456 12345 3456
that they would, should be some kind
of lesson to the young and marriage
able masculine population of our city.
For at least four years, many of the
self-styleH .eligibles" have strutted
the streets in lordly manner; lave
attended teas and bridge parties and
receptions and dances, always with
a kingly mien, and as if to say: "They
are falling for me; all l have to do
is to crook my finger, and they are
mine can treat them as l like, and
again by smiling at them, they will re.
turn to me- And when Leap Year
comes, won't have a time? will lead
them all merry chase" and similar
expressions.
Well, it is to be hoped that these
self same self opinionated young men
have not as high a regard for them
selves, and for the exalted position
in which they imagined they occu-
pied in the minds of the city's fair
sex, today as they did yesterday
So far as the records show, and
as far as a careful investigation could
develop things, not one of these
dear little boys who thought they
were in such a demand, had an op-
portunity to accept or reject a Leap
Year proposal yesterday. The girls
didn't propose. 1t wasn't because they
feared the notoriety, not at all. 1t just
happened that there wasn't any
among the male population of the city
that appealed to the feminine con-
tingent strong enough to induce them
to propose. 1t certainly is to be hoped
that the young men will now see
emselves, as desirab les, as the
young women see them.

Washington, D. c., March 1.-Presi
dent Wilson this morning held con
ference with the administration lead
ers in Congress, to urge prompt &C
ton on one OF the various pending
resolutions now pending in Congress
which proposes the warning of Amer
leans to keep off the armed merchant
men Of the belligerent nations OF
Europe.
The President decided that he could
not proceed with the submarine ne
gotiations while there is such dis
sention in Congress which is weak
ening his position.
Senators Kern, Stone, and Repre-
sentatives Flood and Kitchin and
Speaker Clark participated in the con-
terence to decide on the form of Con
gressional action.
The conference agreed that a vote
will be taken soon on, the warnins
resolutions, but the ford of the res
olutiOn is undetermined.
