BEST NEWSPAPER
IN THE STATE.

The Hattiesburg American is the
best daily newspaper published in
Mississippi. We receive this paper
regularly and we read it. 1t reaches
our office the same time the Com
mercial Appeal does and contains
about the same A. p. A: service.
The people of Hattiesburg are
fortunate indeed in having Howard
S. Williams at the head OF their local
paper. He is an able newspaper
man, and he is giving the people of
that little city real newspaper, one
that they should feel proud of.
No city can ever hope to grow to
any great extent without a live, up
to-date newspaper, and to have such
a paper it must have. the co-opera-
ton of the entire citizenship of the
town. This, it seems, is the case with
the American, and the people of Hat
tiesburg are making no mistake in
cooperating with Howard Williams.
The American will prove great fac
tor in the upbuilding and develop
ment of the city and county.

NOTED ILLINOIS POLITICIAN DEL
Roger c. Sullivan, Democratic Leader,
Expires After Months Illness.

Chicago.-Roger G. Sullivan, SO
years old, Democratic leader of Cook
county and prominent in state and ma
tional politics for thirty years, died at
his home in Chicago April IA of bron-
chial pneumonia. He had been SER
iously i'll month.
Mr.. Sullivan planned to enter the
Democratic national convention at San
Francisco as the leader of the Illinois
delegation of fifty-eight, with the
avowed intention of making that his
last appearance as political leader.
Roger Sullivan, condemned in his
own state by his opponents as "boss,"
and more than once "read out" of the
Democratic party by William ]. Bryan,
led the movement that finally resulted
in making Woodrow Wilson president
If the United States.
1t was Sullivan who headed the
Democratic delegation from Illinois at
the Baltimore convention in 1912-a
delegation pledged to Champ Clark
and who after sufficient ballots had
been cast to discharge his obligations
to Illinois, switched the vote Of the
state to Wilson and made his nOmin-
alton possible.

Washington. The government
course of action to halt the "outlaw'
railroad strike was shaped at meet.
ing Of President Wilson and his cab.
met on April IA.
Attorney General Palmer, 1t was
learned authoritatively, reported that
the department of justice had evil
dence that the communist party was
behind the strike and steps to deal
with this influence were authorized.
Evidence obtained by the depart
ment of justice was said to show that
the Russian communist internationale
Is undertaking to use the railroad
strike as vehicle for the creation of
a mass strike in the United States.
Reports from federal agents were
said to have disclosed that the COM
munist party was financing and other
wise aiding the strike through the
agency of the Industrial Workers Of
the World.
Evidence which the department has
received was declared to justify the
statement that the strike was to be
merely a step in the well known plan
Of the communist group and that the
end and aim was mass strike to be
followed by a revolution.
President Wilson and his cabinet
discussed the railroad strike for more
than an hour and reached some con-
clusion, but there was no intimation
as to its nature.
Soon after the cabinet meeting the
president telegraphed the members of
the newly named railroad labor board,
asking them to come to Washington
and be prepared to function as soon
as their nominations had been con-
firmed by the senate.
The president had been informed
that Senator Cummins, chairman of
the senate interstate commerce COM
mittee, had prepared a resolution per-
hitting the board to meet here instead
Of Chicago and the presidents action
was in anticipation Of the adoption of
this resolution.

pondent).
COLUMBUS, Ohio.-The Demo
cratic party will win or lose thi.
fall upon the single issue of the
league of nations.
The candidates of the party, Gov.
ernor James NJ. Cox and Assistant
Secretary of the Navy Franklin
Roosevelt, met Monday in the execu.
tive mansion here, They determined
upon one general plan of action
They will go to the voters next
month with this the substance OF
their appeal:
Accept us and the league or re-
fuse us and get along with the Re-
publicans and without the cove
nant.
Mr.. Roosevelt will resign his as
sistant secretaryship about the first
of August, or upon the return from
Alaska of Secretary Daniels. Then
he and Governor Cox will give prac-
tically their entire time to the bust
ness of persuading the nation-and
particularly the western part of it
that the league of nations and con-
tinued Democratic control of govern
mental affairs are indispensable to
the United States.
"The league will be the dominant
issue in this campaign, and I'll make
it so in my speeches." Mr.. Roose-
welt told correspondents as he stood
at the side of Governor Cox after
the conference. -
He then recalled what he termed
the first political meeting" he had
attended since the convention.

Colo, where we passed en- route from
San Francisco he said. Several
of us made brief addresses of a nom
partisan character. But the Republi-
can mayor of the town gave the
session a political complexion. He
told us he was Republican but that
he believed in the league of nations
and knew the Republicans would not
give it to him. For that reason, he
explained, he proposed to vote the
Democratic ticket this fall.
That's pretty good campaign
beginning, don't you think?
Coming through the west, l was
frankly surprised to learn that the
Democrats are going to carry the
states Of. Kansas, Nevada, Colorado,
