The work of the second conference at the Hague and of the Central American peace conference will furnish a text for many addresses, the speakers Including James E. ScotJ of the state depart ment, a member of the Hague confer ence; Minister Corea of Nicaragua, Minister Calvo of Costa Rica, Dr. Ben iamin F. Trueblood of Boston, John Barrett, director of the Bureau of American Republics and many others. Educational phases of the arbitration question will be considered by presi dents-of the leading colleges and'uni versities from New England to Cali fornia, while distinguished statesmen, senators and congressmen will also speak. Half a hundred commercial or ganizations in various parts of the country have sent delegates, paper men on the program include Rollo Ogden of the New York Evening Post; A. C. Lambdtn of the Philadel phia Public Ledger; Walter N. Page of the World's Work; O. S. Marsden of Success Magazine and Hamilton Holt of the Independent. Perhaps the greatest public service the conference can perform this year will be to set forth squarely just what the second Hague conference . did. Considerable uncertainly on this point still exists in the public mind, and much of it is doubtless unjust to the men who went to the Hague. Two of these men are to participate in the Mohonk Ineeting, where they will have an opportunity to place themselves on record, and where, too, they may meet in discussion some of the ardent peace advocates who profess dissatisfaction, or at least disappointment, with the results of The Hague. Displte the racial and temperamental differences of the delegations from the forty-five countries, it is pointed out that the second Hague conference gave {o the world a decree that henceforth an offer of arbitration must always News WORLD'S TRIBUTE TO MOTHERS. | ' Proverbs of Many Nations Show Love and Veneration. At a mothers' meeting a young woman recounted with some pride a number of proverbs about mothers. " 'It is easier for a poor mother to keep seven children than for seven children to keep a mother.' That sad and striking proverb,"- she said, "is from the Swiss. ■■ 'A mother's love is new every day.' 'He who will not mind his mother will some day have to mind the jailer.' ■Better lose a rich father than a poor mother.' 'A fathers love Is only knee-deep, but a mother's reaches to the heart.' Those splendid proverbs are all German. "The Hindoos say poetically, 'Moth er mine, ever mine, whether I be rich or poor.' "The Venetians say, 'Mother! He who has one calls her; he who haa none misses her.' "The Bohemians say, 'A mother's hand is soft even when it strikes.' "The Lithuanians say, 'Mother means martyr.' " Choice groceries and courteous precede the use of force for collection of contract debts; it provided for an international prize court to which ap peals may be taken front biased de cisions of national prize courts-; it re solved that a third conference, in about eight years, should take up and continue Its work under international direction; it gsve to either party to a controversy the right to publicly ask the services of the Hague Tribunal, thereby forcing its adversary to arbi trate or to publicly admit its fear of its unwillingness to do so, thus doing a&ay with the former incongruous re quirements that two nations on the verge of war must first agree to ask for arbitration; it extended the work of the Red Cross to naval warfare and it greatly improved the Hague con vention of 1899 by making mediation, good offices and commissions of in quiry more easily offered or Invoked. a . wA\w ■ V? ■■■ \ GEORGE C.

It is probable that the soft pedal will be put on the Hattiesburg muni cipal campaign while the editors are here and every one will join hands in trying to make the visitors feel at home. But this doesn't mean a let-up for any considerable time. It was a matter of common discus sion on the streets Monday, that in stead of street talks, that the candi dates have joint discussions, first in each ward and lastly a general wind tip at the court house before the cam paign closes. At least a dozen voters were discussing this question yester day in a group assembled at the court house. Only one said he was ready and willing any time. The people are anxious to hear the candidates discuss their positions on several matters of municipal import They argue that Hattiesburg ance. has grown to be a large city, that the administration of its affairs is a mat ter of vital concern and the candidates who want to hold office should be will ing to say just what position he will take in certain matters. The News has it on good authority that there will be some speaking done before tne campaign closes. The Style In Clocks. "There are funny things ahout4ftie clock business." said the salesman from Connecticut. "Nine-tenfhs of the clocks that I sold on my last trip were eight-day clocks. Everybody ; seems to have serious objections now adays to winding clocks. If I could provide customers with 30-day clocks or 60-day clocks, without too much additional cost, they would prefer them. The demand for long-distance timepieces represents a decided change in taste. A year or so ago everybody was clamoring for 24-hour clocks, on the ground that they kept j better time. Now, if I could put on ! the market some of those one-year ! and five-year clocks that venturesome 1 manufacturers turn out* now and then j &8 curiosities they would prove ready sellrrc " __ OPEN AN ACCOUNT IN OUR SAVINGS DEPARTMENT, INTEREST PAID ON BALANCES. n ^dr/rs/) „. £p °sitary « for . > haTT^^o e *»'r£ rA T £S, PJTfifiY COUNTYano .©o -...- 3 ,ry OF STOCKHOLDERS (aspro**** b J ' ,y y O DEPOSITORS % 0 Cl ■ l/ AB/L S£ OUff/ry, r o r . i »<•> •/AO.
