MAYOR RENTS FINE
WHEN MAN JOINS ARMY
60 BENNETT GOES TO FRONT AND
MAYOR SUSPENDS PART
OF PENALTY.

IF the big employers of labor
around this section can afford to pay
mems salaries while they are with the
army. the city OF Hattiesburg can af
ford to give up some fine money that
is due it," declared Mayor Batson to
dav. when the cases against Ed Ben
nett. better known as "Scottie, were
called in city court.
Bennett had gotten i'll considerable
trouble Saturday night, doing more
than his share OF property damage and
causing the officers d good deal OF
trouble to catch him. Charges 81
drunk and assault and battery were
on the books against him, but when
the Mayor called the case in court to-
day Bennett wasn't there; he wasn't
even in town: he had left last night
with Major Patterson to join the Mis-
sissippi guardsmen at Camp Swep
Taylor.
Before leaving, however, Bennett
had instructed the officers 10 enter "a
plea of guilty in his behalf on both
charges. He had also sent message
10 the Mayor that he had gone to the
front and that the next time he is
guilty of assault and battery it will be
on some Mexican. The Mayor as
sessed "a fine Of $3.50 on the charge
of drunk and $75 on the charge of as
SAUL and battery, but he suspended
$50 Of the total on good behavior and
he will consider that Bennett is on
good behavior as long as he is with
the militia.
Full Docket Faces Mayor.
The number of cases dOcketed for
trial in city court this morning was
exceptionally large even for Monday
morning.
Albert Bridge and Willie McCombs
were charged with having more than
the legal amount of liquor i'll their
possession, but there wasn't enough
evidence against them and the Mayor
discharged them.
Arthur Johnson and Jesse Geiger,
two youngsters who had run away
from their homes in PoplafviHe, were
up charged with trespassing. The
boys promised the Mayor they would
20 back if he'd turn them loose, and
he did. They said they would write
him a letter when they got back to
Poplarville
A. NJ Potts was fined $3.50 and
costs for drunkenness.
On the same charge a like fine was
assessed against a man named Siam
per-
Jesse Perkins was fined $3.50 for
exceeding the speed limit.
Joe Bradford was fined $500 for
assault and battery.
The cases against Sam Johnson,

charged with assault and battery, and
Bob Williams, charged with profanity,
were continued until tomorrow.

battery. was discharged.

Loyal to Principles.
Sooner or later the national prin
ciples champiOned by the Progressives
OF 1912 must in their general effect
be embodied in the structure of our
national existence. With all my heart
shall continue to work for these great
ideals. shoulder to shoulder with the
men and women who in 1912 cham
piOned them. The method by which
we are TO show our loyalty to these
ideals must be determined in each case
by the actual event. Our loyalty is
to the fact, to the principle, to the
ideal, and not merely TO the name, and
least of all to the party name.
1t is impossible for us Progressives
to abandon our convictions. But we
are faced with the fact that as things
actually are the Progressive National
organization no longer offers the
means whereby we can make these
convictions effective in cur national
life. Under such circumstances, our
duty is to do the best we can and
rejected That we ourselves continue
to believe that the course we adopted
was in the highest interest of the
American people is aside from the
question 1t is unpatriotic to refuse TO
do the best possible merely because
the people have not put us in posi-
tion 10 do what we regard as the
very best 1t remains for us, good
and with common sense,
to face the situation and endeavor TO
get out of it the best that it can be
made to yield from the standpoint of
the interests of the nation as a whole.
A Oeadener to National Conscience.
The present administration, during
its three years of life, had been guilty
of shortcomings more signal than those
of any administration since the days
of Buchanan. From the standpoint
of national honor and interest, it stood
on an even lower level than the ad-
of Buchanan. No admin
istration in our history had done more
to relax the spring of the national will
and TO deaden the national conscience
Within the Republican Party conflict
ing forces were at work. There were
men among the organization leaders
who advocated course of action such
as offered no improvement upon the
Democratic position, and advocated the
nomination of candidates whose cleo
ton would have represented no i'm
provement upon the continuance IN
office of Mr.. Wilson. If such course
were followed, it would obviously
become our duty to run a third ticket.
But it was plainly our duty to do ev-
erything honorable in order to prevent
such a necessity: to do everything
short of sacrificing our most sacred
in order to secure the align
ment under one leadership of the forces
opposed to the continuance in power
of MIR. Wilson and the Democratic
Party.
Under these circumstances the Pro-

Wilson Tried and Found Wanting.

Mr.. Wilson has been tried and found
wanting. His party, because of its
devotion TO the outwOrn theory OF
state rights, and because of its reliance
upon purely sectional support. stands
against that spirit of far sighted ma
tionalism which is essential if we are
social and Industrial problems. Mr..
Wilson and his party have in actua
practice lamentably failed to safeguard
the interest and honor of the United
States. They have brought us to inn
potence abroad and to division and
weakness at home.
They have dulled the moral sense
of the people They have taught us
that peace, the peace of cowardice and
dishonOr and Indifference to the well
fare of others. is to be put above right
eousness, above the stern and unflinch-
ing performance of duty whether the
duty is pleasant or unpleasant.
They have taught us to accept adrOit
elocution as a substitute for straight
forward and efficient action. They
have raised indecision, hesitancy and
vacillation into a settled governmental
policy
Mr.. Hughes has shown in his career
the instinct of efficiency which will

American element in the United States
to Mr.. Wilson's timid and vacillating
course during the last two years.
In any event, and without any regard
10 what the personal feelings of any of
any OF us may be as regards the action
of the Republican Convention, | wish
very solemnly TO ask the representa-
tives of the Progressive Party to con,
slider at this time only the welfare of
the people of the United States. We
shall prove false 10 our ideals and our
professions if. in this grave crisis of
the Nations life, we permit ourselves
to be swerved from the one prime duty
of serving with cool judgment and sin
gle-mnded devotion the Nations needs.
Our own political fortunes, individually
and collectively, are of no consequence
whatever, when compared with the
honor and welfare of the people of the
United States. Such things do not
count when weighed in the balance
against our duty to serve we'll the
country in which. after we are dead,
our children and our children's chill
dren are to live.

Hughes is Approved.
In my Judgment, the nomination o.
Mr.. Hughes meets the conditions SCI
forth in the statement of the Progress
sive Nati0nae ommittee, issued last
January. and in my own statements
Under existing conditions, the nOmi
nation of a third ticket would, in my
! judgment, be merely 3 move in the
interest of the election of Mr.. Wilson
| regard Mr.. Hughes as man whose
public record is a guarantee that he
will not merely stand for a programme

before election, but will resolutely and
in good faith put it through if elect

better fitted to be President than Mr.
Wilson It would be grave detriment
to the country to re-elect Mr.. Wilson.

Hughes. Such being the case, it is
unnecessary to say that | cannot &C
cept the nomination on third ticket.
| do not believe that there should be
third ticket. | believe that when my
fellow Progressives coolly consider the
question they will for the most part
take this position. They and | have
but one purpose-the purpose to serve
our common country. 1t is my deep
conviction that at this moment we can
serve it only by supporting Mr.. Hughes.

called German-American Alliances. |
believe that the attitude of these pro
fessional German-Americans was due,
not in the least to any liking for Mr..
Hughes, but solely to their antagonlsm

me for the nomination The only way
by which they could achieve this OBJ
ject was by supporting Mr.. Hughes
and they supported him accordingly,
without any regard to other considera-
tions..

Justify us in the assured conviction
that the fact that these men have for
their own purposes supported him,

TIGERS TAKE BOTH
Griffmen Display Stupidity on
Bases in First
Game.

Twice yesterday the Griffmen went
down to defeat before the Detroit
Tigers. In the first game the locals
made a game, uphill fight which re-
suited in their tying the score in the
ninth inning, only to have Joe Boehling
pounded for three hits, into which he
mixed two walks. in the tenth, which
netted the visitors five runs and the
game.
OF all the stupid base ball that was
ever played in a major league it was in
this game, the Nationals showing SO
much lack of knowledge of the game
that their performances at times were
farcical
The second game was never in doubt
Gallia pitched like a phenom for three
innings, but he was pounded thereafter.
Dauss. who was knocked off Of the rub
Der in the first game, repeated in the
second. in which he held the locals in
check until he tired during the latter
innings, when Cunningham came to his
rescue.
In the first game Griffith used five
pitchers. Harper started, Ayers, Shaw,
Bentley and Boehling followed in the
order named. Dubuc and James fol-
lowed Dauss.
In the second game Dauss and Cum
ningham did the pitching for the
Tigers. while Gallia and Shaw worked
the eight innings that the second game
lasted. The score:
