FIRST NATIONAL OF HATTlfsBuRe.

Editorial In Hattiesburg American Jany. 25th.
The comptroller of the currency
today renewed the charter of the
First National Bank of Hattiesburg
for another twenty years. Probably
only banker understands the sig
nificance of this simple statement.
1t means that the First National has
just undergone rigid, minute and
painstaking special examination that
it has met the acid test applied by
some OF those shrewd, unbiased,
practical and cold booded bank ex-
pert examiners employed by Uncle
Sam.
Friends of the First National Bank
of Hattiesburg will offer congratu-
lations to that institution today up
on its big achievements of more than
twenty years. 1t has grown from a
small institution long before lat
tiesburg assumed city proportions,
to one OF the most powerful, infiuen-
tial and useful financial institutions
in Mississippi. A veritable Gibral-
ter of strength, the First National
Bank OF the Hub CITY has become
one OF the most potent factors In the
development OF South Mississippi.
and the prospects are that in the flu
ture it not only will continue its ca
reer of usefulness but will outstrip
the remarkable record already made.
Ably managed on conservative
basis, the bank has grown to proper
tions seldom attained bv bank in a
city the size of Hatties burg, and the
secret is that its scope of operation
is by no means confined to this i'm
mediate vicinity, but that it is the
bank of thousands of business men.
professional men, wage earners and
farmers scattered all over South Mis-
sissippi. These men have come to
know that the First National is
sound; that its policy is one of help
fitness; that courtesy is a watch
word. Today the deposits of the in
stitution exceed 81, 900, 900 and that
gives very definite idea of the con-
fidence the people have in it and its
officers, as well as being demonstra-
tive of the fact that the officers are
bankers to the manor born.
A great share of the credit for the
success of the bank is due Frank w.
Foote. the able, active vice-presi
dent, manager and guiding hand of
the situation. No banker in the
South ranks higher than Mr.. Foote.
Put him in any convention of bank
ers and his advise will be eagerly
heard. metropolitan bankers con-
slider bis views of banking problems
with the utmost respect, and he is
considered one OF the ablest BANKERS
in the South. Much credit is also
due g. j Hauenstein, Cashier, and
Walter Jones, assistant Cashier, long
in the service OF tae bank, and who
have the confidence of the business
interests of South Mississippi. Cap
tain j. p. Carter. the president.
while retired, is large stockhoIder
and takes keen interest In the af-
fairs of the institution. He is a
highly honored citizen of this section
man held 10 highest esteem and
deepest affection.
II is a pleasure for the Hatties-
burg American to note the giant
strides Hattiesburg is making in the
march of progress, and we are sure
the FIRST National Bank of Hatties-
burg has had as large part in max
irg that progress possible as any
institution of whatsoever nature in
South Mississippi.

of Septem Der, going from there to
Southampton, taking boat across
the English Channel to France and
from there | can't say where, only
we drilled for some three or four
weeks and then to the front where
the nasty Hurs we're stationed and
after staying for about ten days be-
fore the armistice was signed, and
about six days after the Armistice
was signed we came back off of the
front and then eighty-four of our
men were transferred from there to
the Thirty sixth Division of which |
am still with.
We soldies boys are all very happy
now. knowing that we will not have
10 go back up on the front again.
Home, Sweet Home is being sung
on every hand. Even the develop
ment camp, composed OF boys who
are considered unfit for service is a
very lively place. The crippled are
singing. the blind are dancing, the
deaf and dumb are once more hear
ing and talking; the coward is once
[more brave. Oh! what wonderful
effect that word Peace" is having,
not only here, but thank God, every
where.
Many OF us boys are going home;
some to the farm, some to the store,
some to this and that profession.
In fact every avenue of life will be
filed by these noble sons of ours.
Or, what pity that all of our boys
can't go back, but such is life.
Nothing great is gained in this life
without much sacrifice and surely we
have prid the price and paid it well.
But what class OF citiz ,ns, we have
so little grumbiing or pickering
Those who have lost will quietly look
on the boys who return and say I'VE
lost our boy but this one helped save
our native land. therefore he is ev-
erybody S son.

MISREPRESENT THEIR PARTY

In the attitude and actions OF
Senators Lodge, Knox and few
of their close associates in the
fight against the League of Ma.
tions, there has been an implica.
tion that they constitute the re.
publican party as well as the sole
source of authority in making
treaties.
Senator McCumber's repudia-
tion of their leadership and his
espousal of the League was the
first disillusionment vouchsafed
10 these makers of destiny"
Now come some of the most in
huentlal republicans in the coun-
try to urge the Senatorial Tailors
of Tooley Street to regard the
wishes of some hundreds of thou
sands of other members of the
party by whom the opposition to
the League of Nations is deemed
both distasteful and disastrous.
This little cabal of senators
have not thus far been moved
by considerations of patriotism,
but they may now be expected
to pay some heed to threats of
detection in the ranks of their
party. Their whole conduct has
been such that it is not unfair to
believe they would rather with
draw from the fight on the
League than be withdrawn from
the Senate.

THE PRESIDENTS TOUR

For several months the presi-
dents opponents have had a sort
of "open season" of criticism of
him and his policies and pro-
posals. While he was busy in
the solution of the worlds big
gest problem, a large number of
his fellow countrymen were en-
gagged in the easiest of all tasks
finding fault. So mean and
petty and spiteful has been some
of this carping that one can
hardly escape believing its au.
thors would have found as much
satisfaction IN his failure Gf he
had failed) as other more pa
triotic Americans have derived
from his successes.
But few weeks hence the
president is to tour the country
and meet friends and foes face
to face and give the American
people an account of his steward
ship. He will at the same time
doubtless afford them some un-
derstanding of the tremendous
difficulties that confronted him
in the Peace conference and sub
NIT to them the greatest of all
modern achievements in states
manship the League of Nations.
Those who have misunderstood,
those who have judged hastily
and those Who have been misled
will have the truth from the
presidents lips, and will be con-
vinced. Only the partisan and
the narrow traditionalist may be
expected to remain proof against
facts and reason.

TRANSCRIPTS PARTY INTERESTS

There are plentiful signs that
thousands of American men and
women both within and beyond
the pale of political parties have
approved and are needing Pres
ident Wilson'S request that the
League of Nations be not con-
sidered as a partisan issue. For
mer President Taft, former At
torney General Wickersham and
former Senator Burton, Of Ohio,
are among the notable republi-
cans who are urging ratification
of the League by the United
States Senate, but they are not
alone in this advocacy.
Reports from every section of
the country show that men and
women, who doubtless have polit-
ical preferences, are subordinat-
ing these to their love of country
that their concern for peace in the
world, now and hereafter, tran
scends their regard for names and
slogans of parties. The League
has been the subject of many in.
dorsements by organizations rep.
resenting almost every sort of in
terest and activity-commercial
industrial. economic, civic and pa.
triotic. In the membership OF
these organizations there must
have been men and women OF
different and dissident political
views, but they seem to have
been one in their belief that the
League of Nations is an insurance
against war, and one also in their
wish to establish it without delay.
Hostile senators may continue
to attract attention by their vo-
ciferous opposition, but their din
is no measure of the Leagues
popularity. There are thousands
still silent-who will express
themselves in voice of thunder
when they know the time has
come.

PINCHOT ON G. o. P. BOSSES

If any further evidence were
needed as to the predictions
and affiliations of the bosses
in the republican party than is
supplied by their own records,
Clifford Pinchot, progressive re-
publican and close friend of the
late President Roosevelt, supplies
it. In a recent speech before the
Republican Presidential Club. at
Cambridge, Mass, Pinchot said
of the G. 0. P. leaders:
"The reactionaries are enemies
of the people, for they are owned
and controlled by the special in
terests which keep the cost of
living high and continually drive
it higher. Crane, Harding, Wat
son and their like, and Penrose,
the flower of the flock, are the
little brothers of the profiteers.
They believe in money first and
human welfare, if at all, after
ward. Without such men as
these the great monopolies could
never have been formed.
AT another point in his speech,
Pinchot said:
"How far these men have mis-
read the signs of the times is
almost incredible. For example,
during the sessions of the Repub-
lican National Committee in Chi.
cago last March, the man most
discussed as a candidate for the
presidency was Jim Watson, OF
Indiana, q candidate who would
be little more acceptable to the
