Hattiesburg Daily News from Hattiesburg, Mississippi • 2

JULY 24, 1912. WEENESDAY, THE HATTIESBURG Forum of the People Editor News: In your report of the Kate Richards O'Hare lecture, delivered at the Auditorium last Thursday night, are some statements which are somewhat misleading; especially to those who are unacquainted with the attitude of socialism toward the churches. For instance, the only kind of church or church members who came in for any kind of arraignment, caustic or otherwise, were those who "with pious mein hold to the enforcement of church doctrine while taking 17 per cent from an employee's wages." As to the statement "there are no good churches," will say that Mrs. O'Hare left no such impression on the writer, though he heard the whole lecture. So far as there being "a modicum of truth in many of the statements she makes," will say that I do not believe that more truth has ever been crowded into a two hours' talk.

Moreover, Mrs. O'Hare offered to pay all expenses of a meeting and to give to anyone who felt disposed to do so, $100 per hour to stand on the rostrum and refute the truth of her preachments. In the main you gave a fair report of the meeting, but we refuse to have the impression go forth that socialism is opposed to religion or the church. Apropos of the subject will say for the benefit of those who do not know it already, that the Encyclopedia Britanica says among other things on the subject that, "The ethics of socialism are identical with the ethics of christianity." Observer. AN EVENING RIDE ON A TROLLEY CAR.

Editor is not often I ride on any thing, go any where, as a matter of pleasfor the simple reason I have neiththe time or inclination to do so, yesterday evening I felt like I wanted to get out in the open air and find, if possible, a cooler place than our gallery. Mrs. Hall and I have raised a large family of children; all them girls but seven. They have gone to homes of their own and left us just as we started. The only difference is, I am older and she is better looking, than when we started together 46 years ago.

We are more lonesome now than we were then. But about the ride. We have a good horse and buggy, but it means labor to get ready and labor to drive, and in very hot weather it means suffering for the horse, to go in the buggy. We have no auto. We may have some day.

If it were not for about forty reasons I would buy one now. Well, the electric cars pass in about haif block from our home. I said to Mrs. Hall, we will catch one of the new cars which have just been installed, and ride to each end of the extensions that have recently been made on the Main and Bay street lines. We waited only a few minutes before the car was at our crossing.

When it drew up the doors were all closed and I could but wonder how we were to enter it. When it halted the doors seemed to fly open of their own accord, and as soon as we were in they closed the same way. No chance to get hurt getting on and off unless you fall off after the car has stopped. It is needless to say that our ride was, from every stand point, "a charming success." Let it be remembered that when came here more than a quarter of century ago, the ground which is now occupied by the city of its streets and its electric car lines, was either an unbroken forest or cofvered with stumps from which the timber had been removed. It is for one who has not witnessed this transition to realize how )great the change has been.

At that time was pastor of the Baptist church the village and it was struggling maintain itself. I have gone, many times, through darkness and daylight, winter's cold and summer's heat, foot, through storm and sun shine, visit the sick, comfort the dying, bury the dead. Now, right where use to have to wade in, the mud get along, I can get a car every minutes to go in almost, any direction that duty or may call While our people appreciate the work which has been, and being done the Traction people, I doubt much whether any 6f us do so as as we ought. They began the operation of their cars after the panic us, four years, ago. The obstacles were great to begin with and have continued in the face of difficulties both great and numerous.

While sanitary science is working wonders elsewhere, body Hattiesburg seems perfectly content to remain unsanitary. does not expect to win the election.

If he says' he Roosevelt of course does he is an Ananias. What he is striving for is the absolute disruption of the Republican party, and the organization of a new party, with dictator, and with the hope that success may attend his ambition four as hence. It is entirely probable that he will succeed in disrupting years forever, the Republican party. That old party of time-servers and once and pension-grabbers and pie-eaters is decayed and rotten to the core and ought to die. And, but for "the surgical operation, without chloroform," as Bryan the Democratic party would have deserved a like fate.

But expresses it, that surgical operation was a success, and the patient has been born again, blood and new machinery and new purposes and new men to man with new the old ship of State, and there is no need now, nor will there be four years another new party. The time had come, in a sense, for the dishence, for both the old parties. Their rank and file were deserting them in solution of and companies and battalions. It was manifest that the people would scores be marched to the polls and voted like dumb, driven cattle. It no longer was plain that the party whip no longer had any terror for the independent American voter; that he no longer quailed beneath the scowl of a party The time had come to strike.

But Teddy could not get away with his Bryan, the real owner of the goods, blocked his way. Beat stolen goods. him to the place.

The conventional, polite thing, in both and national conventions, is to adopt the suggestion of the committee state chairman; and the Baltimore convention would have been run for temporary smooth as grease on "conventional-lines," had it not been fer Bryan. He as the game they were starting to p'ay, in their smooth, easy, conventional saw and he called their hand, the very first move they made. He took his way, political life in his hands when he did it; but, thank God, he won.

We are so glad that Mr. Murphy and some others were not able to "make him look like a fool." Publicity serves to keep up an interest in anything. If the Commercial Club would have their slogan contest conducted through The News, the publicity of it would add interest to it and there would be ten times as many contestants as there will be if the mail is sent directly to the secretary. If they are not reminded of it from day to day, the public will soon forget there is a contest. And the best way to remind them is to publish the suggestions as they come in.

A slogan is a useful agency to a community, and the public generally should be interested in hitting upon some happy, catchy expression that will suit for Hattiesburg. Before the Baltimore convention met, the big talk of the Bull Moose was thee a great many Democrats would vote for him. That talk was predicated upon the idea that the National Committee would be able to put through the slate made up by Ryan, Belmont, Morgan and Murphy, Since that slate was shattered and a real progressive.

But for the perseverance, industry and dogged tenacity of those at the head of it, it never could have succeeded as it has. Having succeeded and prospered under difficulties so great, certainly its possibilities for future usefulness to the public and prosperity for itself, are boundless. In the estimation of the writer this institution is one of the city's most important, and if he is living five years from to day "an evening ride on a trolley car" will mean, an opportunity to go over thirty or forty miles of well built and thoroughly equipped electric railway.

To have this there must be faithful service on the part of the Traction and cooperation and support on the part of the people they are trying to serve. Trusting that our beloved city will grow until we are great, and that we shall always strive to be as good as we are great, I remain the friend of everybody who wants to do right. Respectfully, L. E. HALL.

IN MEMORIAM. In memory of Mrs. Lizzie Fatheree Griffin (nee Fatheree), who was born Feb. 24th, 1883; was married to Homer F. Griffin, in 1904 and closed her eyes in death and went to her home in Heaven on April 22nd, 1912, from ner, Oklahoma.

Although far away from parents and many loved ones, she was lovingly attended by husband and some dear friends. And we are conadent she had the presence of her dear Savior, in whom she had trusted from childhood. Her life was She measured up fully in every relation she sustained in life, as a daughter, loving and obedient; as wife, faithful and true; as a mother, loving and devoted; as a sister, affectionate and kind. She accounted her friends worthy of her esteem and confidence. Enemies, she had none.

The world is better by her having lived in it. Her separation from us has only resulted in her reunion with loved ones and friends who have gone before. We pray God that father, mother and loved ines here may be able to see (by faith) through their sorrow and tears the grand and glorious meeting that they may have in the near future, when sickness, sorrow, pain and death are felt and feared no more. She is survived by father and mother, Judge O. C.

and Mrs. C. Fatheree; husband, two sisters, two brothers and two sweet little boys, aged 7 and 5 years. Oh, that there may be a special Providence over the precious ones who are left without mother! She now awaits us at the "Beautiful Gate." We will soon be there. One who knew her well and loved her much.

C. WORDS OF THANKS AND APPRECIATION. To the Aid Society, the King's Daughters, Mr. Aldrige, and all of those who, helped, for their kindness and help towards me and family in our sickness and trouble. I sincerely hope that God may bless them with His choicest blessing, and also enable me to help them or others that need help as I have been helped.

A young teacher gave the children talk on kindness to animals. The a next day, when she was busy at her desk she felt a little hand tugging at her sleeve. "Why, Pitro," she exclaimed, "what is the matter?" "Nothing, teacher, I just wanted to tell you how I was good to dumb animals yesterday." "Why, isn't that nice, Pitro just what did you do?" Perto drew himself up to his full three feet and proudly declared, "I kissed the Norman E. Mack's National Monthly. A CATASTROPHE.

A woman in one of the wards in the Rhode Island hospital was informed she had appendicitis and would have to be operated on at once. Much frightened, she reluctantly consented and was conveyed to the operating room. One of the doctors had commenced to administer the ether and her eyes were closing languidly, when he discovered he had forgotten to enquire if she had false teeth. He quickly removed the rubber cap, and shaking her lightly he haid, "Have you anything loose in your mouth?" Then, as he made a move to put his hand in her mouth, she opened her eyes wildly and exclaimed: "Nothing but my tongue, doctor, Gives Quickest and Surest Cure For AM Sore Feet The following is absolutely the surest and quickest cure known to science for all foot ailments: "Dissolve two tablespoonfuls of Calocide compound In basin of warm water.
