Religious Faith
In Politics.
The Florida Times-L'nion fears that
the intrusion of religion into the do
main of politics in this country will
be emphasized by a national election
this year as well as by the attitude of |
some prohibitionists.
We should re- j
ganl this contempt of American pre- ,
cedents as a calamity independent of 1
Its effect on the fortunes of any party
or any candidate, but we are inter
ested In knowing upon what grounds
the question of faith Is urged against
Mr. Taft. I
In the current Homiletic Review
eleven ministers from different denom- !
'
inations write letters on the subject |
and all but three insist that Mr. Taft's
religious views should not influence
the votes of American citizens,
the three who object to see Mr. Taft
president because he Is a Unitarian,
one is a Presbyterian who says "we
cannot afford" to elect any man who
denies the Godhead of Christ.
Another is a Methodist who objects
because the election of a president
who is not a Christian "would be say
ing to the world that we do not believe
in the divinity of Chrlst'Vand so would
j
of
u«,
Of
prove'*a terrific blow to Christianity."
Tlyff third is a pastor from New York
who says:
The discovery, colonization and
settlement of the United States
of America, as well as the spirit
of our presidents from Washing
j ton to Roosevelt has been decid
i edly Christian: and though person
ally my predilections would favor
Mr. Taft, I agree with Mr. Boyer
that voters loyal to our Lord
Jesus Christ in this Christian
land should neither vote for
encourage others to yote for a
man as president who rejects the
divinity of Jesus Christ.
Observe that the reasons for ob
jection is different in each case and
two suppose that others would make

protests not urged by them. Is it
possible that American voters can be
; made to consider the claims of the
! heathen or of history in the heat of an
election where a president Is beating

That Proposed
Canning Factory.
The movement recently inaugurated
| in Hattiesburg for the establishment
of a canning factory is taking form,
and there is every reason to believe
{that the new industry will materialize.
| It is a notable fact that most of
the canned fruits and vegetables sold
on the Hattiesburg market are pro
duced in other states, sold through
i wholesalers and jobbers in New Or
leans and other cities and retailed
[ here at many times the cost of orig
inal production.
;
The fact is equally well known that
the soil tributary to Hattiesburg is
much better adapted to the growth of
fruits and vegetables than in
many
sections where the fruit and vegetable
industry has grown to enormous pro
portions.
One wholesale grocery house in
Hattiesburg purchased in another
state and sold to the retailers of this
territory last year $250,000 worth of
fruits and vegetables, which could just
as easily have been raised at home
It is the purpose of Hattiesburg bus
iness men now engaged in the organ
ization of a canning factory, to en
courage and foster the fruit and vege
table growing industry in this terri
tory, and to ultimately supply the
needs of this territory from the fields
adjacent to the city, thus saving to the
community the many thousands of dol
lars now sent to other cities of the
country and entirely lost from the
channels of local trade.
The effort is certainly worth while, j
and the News believes that the Indus- (
try will pay handsomely when once j
thoroughly established.

Leaving Little
Children Alone.
There is a lesson in the sad story
from Moselle, printed in these col
umns yesterday.
Four little motherless children were j
teft alone by their father, who had !
business down town. Hundreds of |
lit Lie ones are left in like manner 1
I
, a
every day, and little is thought of it, \
Hut In this particular case the father
returned to find his home in ashes j j
an d two of his babies dead—cremated I
alive In the burning building. j
Much has been said about the prac
tice of locking children In doors and
them alone, but in this case
the h° use was not barred, and the
children perished because, in their
excltement ' they did not flnd the door '
The lesson is obvious. It is danger
ous to leave little children alone.

Business and Brains.
The following terse and timely edito
rial from the columns of the Mobile
Herald Is equally applicable to Hat
tiesburg.
"There never could be a test of real
ability, never a genuine try-out of the
quality of business brains, In the midst
of general prosperity. At a time when
everybody succeeds, when mere acci
dent of position or the force of circum
stance simply crowds business upon
u«, men get credit for ability which
often vanishes on the flrst trial, in the
first real test of ability.
"Such a period of winnowing out is
now on in Mobile. Business men who
"lay down" now, firms which
from (he approved methods of busi
ness-getting, soured on the theory of
advertising, are preparing a great
cess for their competitors.
"Discouragement and despair have
no place in the modern business
world. Wake up, business men of Mo
bile! Go to the front and tell the peo
ple of your city what you have to offer
them. Don't sulk!
God reigns and children are
every minute. Don't be groggy, soggy
and pessimistic. Talk out to your pub
lic, be cheerful, send in your adver
tisements or see a physician."

A meeting is soon to be held in
Natchez to reorganize the Cotton
States Baseball League, and it has
been suggested that Hattiesburg and

occupied by Meridian and Monroe.
Such an arrangement would make a
compact circuit, and a paying one,
Hattiesburg should get into the league

CATARRH MADE LIFE
A BURDEN TO ME.
M ISS ANNIE CATRON, 9i?7
St., Cincinnati, Ohio, writes:
M | Ml
"As I have found Peruna a blessing
for a severe case of catarrh of the head
and throat which 1 suffered from for a
number of years, I am only too pleased
to give it my personal endorsement.
"Catarrh, such as I suffered from,
made life a burden to me, my breath
was offensive, stomach bad,' and my
head stopped up no that I was usually
troubled with a headache, and although
I tried many so-called remedies, noth
ing gave me permanent relief. I
rather discouraged with all medicines
when Peruua was suggested to me.
"However, I did buy a bottle, and be
fore that was finished there
marked change in my condition. Much
encouraged I kept on until I was com
pletely cured in a month's time, and I
find that my general health is also ex
cellent."
People who prefer solid medicines
should try Peruna tablets. Each tablet
represents one average dose of Peruna.
