ONLY ONE OBJECTION

while the present editor of
the Brandon News, for good
many years owned by the la
mented w. S. May, is
getting out a good paper, and
peruSal of same would create the
idea that Brandon is a much
larger town than it really is.
You can say what you please,
but the appearance of the local
paper always gives the impress
sion TO the outsider of the kind
of town in which ii is published
and the business man who does
not use space in the local paper
not only loses individually by it,
but he helps to keep his home
town from making as good
showing TO strangers living away
who see the paper. The splendid
patronage of the Brandon News
however, is largely augmented
by the patronage OF the progress
sive business men of Jackson.
And, by the way, that calls to
mind the difference in the bust
ness men of Jackson and Nerd
ian. Comparisons are said to be
odiouS, but permissible some
times. Although Meridian is the
states largest city, the business
men as whole are far less
progressive than those of jack
son, who reach out after business
in the surrounding territory by
using the papers in nelghDorlnS
HoWns.-NeWton Record.
Absolutely correct except as to one
statement. Jackson has never con
ceded Merchants superiority even as
to "Bigness" There may have beer
a time. when the figures were some
what iuggled. that Meridian had two
or three more struggling population
than Jackson, but that was a long
time ago and always Swallowed in un-
certainty.
JackSon'S merchants are not only
live. wide aWake business men, but
her citizens are people of pep" who
believe in hitting while the iron is
hot. and making hay while the SUI
shines. In other words, they are
eternally doing things.
There has not been day in the
past two years but what the song OF
the hammer and the saw could moi
be heard in any section of the city
and they are striking with just az
much regularity today in the con
Slruction of homes and business
houses as they have been for the
past twenty four months.
Jackson is growing.
She is spreading out in every di-
rection and it will not be very long
before we may be compelled to eX-
tend our city limits so as to take
in the little villages of Meridian and
as suburbs.
We are getting terribly crowded
as it is and are thinking of moving
Pearl River futher back so that we
may grow in that direction.
Meridian, drOwSy old city that she
is. is interesting in many ways, and
is MisSissippis second biggest
city we are proud of her, but even
the greatest stretch of imagination
could not picture her in the same
class with Jackson. For awhile
Meridian did stay in 'hOllering dis
tance." but she was entirely too SLOW
when Jackson struck a pace of build
ing a house day, and as much as
we regretted it, we had to shove off
and leave her to paddle along as best
she could.
If some of Meridian's business folks

Alberto Sciarretti. pianist. from italy
made his American debut last evening
In a recital i'm Town Hall. His program
was composed largely OF compositions by
compatriots. Sgambati contributed q
prelude and fugue and Martucci a
scherzo. romanza. giga,, taranieila and
theme with variations. Saint-Saens.
Debussy and List furnished the remain
ing numbers. IL was pleasure to hear
the Italian music, for the pianists with
whom the local concertgoers are best
acquainted rarely II ever offer any OF
the gems OF the Italian treasury.
Without doubt this is because popu-
larity IS best preserved by keeping to the
beaten path. When In doubt, play
Chopin 1t is safe rule and Is gen
orally followed. But pianists might well
consider Sgambatis piece which Mr..
Sciarretti played with evident affection.

DR.. Wiedfeldt to Washington.

The appointment of DR.. OTTo
LUDWIG WIEDFELDT as German Am
bassador to the United States is an
nounced at Berlin. Although he can
scarcely be considered an adherent
of the present Coalition Government
and is practically without diplo-
matte experience, his selection for
the post, which has been under dis
cussion for the past two weeks, seems
to meet with national favor.
Germany has been without a repre-
sentative in Washington since early
in 1917. when Count JOHANN Helm
RICH Won BERNsToRFF left America.
The German Government has shown
no inclination TO return to public SER
vice any of those well trained foreign
representatives upon which Imperial
Germany depended before the world
war. 1t has sought new men with
new ideals. The Washington post
was especially important to Germany
and it was not easy to find man
with the means to maintain the Am
bassadorial position and at the same
time with the personal and official
qualities to represent ably the new
republic.
DR.. WIEDFELDT is neither a reac-
tionary nor radical. His political
affiliations. which are not pro-
nounced.. are more with the Peoples
party than any other party. He thus
has the support of HUGO SHINES and
other industrial leaders, and also OF
DR.. RATHENAU, upon whose unquali-
fed approval he declared his ac-
ceptance Of the post depended. He
has been for several years connected
in various official capacities with the
Krupp company at Essen. To this
experience in Germany he adds years
Of service in the Orient. His ac-
quaintance with America was gath
cred In stay OF several months here
before the war. DR.. WTDFELDr would
come to the United States more as
commercial than political Ambas-
sador, the kind OF foreign representa-
tive OF which Germany is at present
most In need.

There are two imperative things
for you to do right now. First assert
yourselves as owners of your Govern

of unfaithful servants, make sure that
the next men you send TO Washing

One word more. A people who

Make no mistake about this. Free.

MISS CONRAD GIVES RECITAL.

Miss Henrietta Conrad n soprano.
who 3 teer heard here in q New
York Symphony Orchestra concert. gave
a song rectal--postponed from Novem-
Der so last in Aeolian Hall yesterday
afternoon. She was assisted by Frank
La Forge. who played the accompani-
mcnts. Miss Conrad has had much
training and concert experience in
Europe, and she had operate engage
ments in Germany which the war pre-
vented her from fulfilling.
Her program yesterday comprised two
groups of German lieder. three modern
French numbers, including Lids air from
Debussy's "L'Infant Prologue and a
group of American songs with Carpen-
ter's May. the Maiden" and three
lyrics by La Forge. Throughout her
program the singer gave evidence of
serious study and "a frequent under
standing of the composer. Nervousness
and lack of breath control frequently
marred the quality OF her tones, but
in certain numbers her voice showed
we'll in the middle and upper registers.
Her German diction was better than
her French and English. Her general
range of expression wh'c limited. had
taste and artistic sensii.I,ty. Her stage
presence was greatly in her favor. Mr.
La Forge gave her excellent support at
the piano and likewise at the organ in
one of the several encores.

Varying Tariffs in the Theater.

The price of the theater ticket be-
comes every day less stable. 1t may
almost be said to vary overnight
Patrons of the box offices who do not
study the tariffs may fail to note
that one day half dollar has gone
off the rate. When the popularity of
a play begins to wane the manager
Immediately lowers the cost Of ad-
mission. Thus there may be a sec
ond period Of prosperity when the
expense to the public is diminished.
After the endurance of drama is ex-
hausted even at this reduced rate
there is still another way of extend
ing the run of success which has
already proved such source Of profit
TO the manager that he can afford to
accept a smaller return for while.
There is the cut rase ticket
Thus the cost Of theater going rises
and falls under the official changes
Of the box office. The spectators
may add still more variation, since
they aim to get as much as possible.
The Importance of the spectators to
the managers, however, grows with
theatrical enterprise. 1t is, indeed,
difficult to understand how much of
the business of amusements could to-
day be conducted without their CO.
operation. The "buy" is almost in
dispensable to every form of theatri-
cal enterprise. This is the agree
ment of the spectators to take so
many tickets for every night during
a period of two months. With this
guaranty the continuance Of play is
assured during this period if not for
longer run. Continuing popularity
brings with it renewed buys"
Dut the withdrawal of the specula-
tors almost invariably means the be-
ginning of the plays end. Reduced
prices at the box Office. then the cut
rate ticket at the drug store-these
are the next stages in the progress
of the play. OF course, in its final
analysis, it is the favor of the public
on which the merchants of smiles
must depend.

Vision in Port Development.

P. H. W. Ross Of the National
Marine League urges that Congress
invest the New York Port Author
ity with power to compel the rail
roads touching tidewater on the
New Jersey side to electrify their
terminals. the contention of the Ma
tional Marine League being that such
electrification will. first, relieve the
car shortage by reducing car block
age. and. secondly, diminish the cost
Of terminal loading.
With every period of business ac-
tivity the producers of the nation
are faced with car shortage. Prac-
tical shippers say this shortage is
largely caused by congestion at the
terminals. the result of antiquated
and expensive methods OF freight
switching by steam locomotives.
The National Marine League will
attempt to prove to President HAR
DING and Congress that electrification
bring about the unified operation and
coordination Of effort which Presi-
dent EUGENIUs II. OuTERBRIDGE Of the
Port Authority says is essential to a
proper port development plan.
Such q unification OF effort ought
to diminish the cost of terminal
loading for export. an important fac
tor in our foreign trade. America is
becoming harder put to il to hold
her foreign markets. If she does not
afford every advantage to her export
freight producers and provide ample
export facilities for American prod.
ucts she simply puts another OBJ.
stacle in the way OF maintaining our
export business.
As for New York, the premier port
OF the whole United States, products
Of the West and the middle West. Of
New England and the South have
come to New York for export in the
past despite the lower terminal
charges in Philadelphia, Boston
Baltimore and other ports. They
have come here because OF the su-
perior marketing facilities afforded
here: because II is here that repre-.
sentatives Of buyer and producer
meet.
But the producers Of the interior
have been crying that they cannot
get their product out, complaining
bitterly Of terminal conditions that
require the transfer Of traffic before
loading from tidewater to one OF the
three islands of Greater New York
When competition reaches its peak
In the foreign field will the freight
producers Of Ohio. Iowa. Michigan
