riOusly funny as newspaper adver-

customers that he cant get his hat off,
and then he rushes to the newspapers
and puts in his advertisement. When
the dull season gets along and there
is no trade and he wants to sell goods
so bad he can't pay his rent, he takes
out his advertisement. That is, some
of them do, but occasionally a level
headed merchant puts in bigger one,
and scoops all the business, while his
neighbors are making mortgages to
pay their gas bills. There are times
when you couldn't stop people from
buying everything in the store if you
planted cannon behind the door,
and that's the time the advertisement
is sent out on its hOl y mission. 1t
makes light work for the advert e.
ment, for a chalk sign on the side

and have half holiday six days in

What will the legislature do with
the Railroad Commission? is one of
the prevailing queries. The present
law Is all expense to the people; no
benefit whatever. About the only
thing the commissioners can do is to
talk, say what they would do if not
enjoined, and then draw their salaries
quarterly. The law as it now stands
on the statute books is nullity. A
majority Of the bar and every judge
who has passed upon the question say
the act is unconstitutional. The ma
jority of the people, we believe, oppose
the present law. At the November
election many democrats in this sec,
ton voted for the democratic candi>
dates, because they had always voted
straight, and did not want to scratch.
Others, while opposing the law, said
five had to have commissioners they
preferred democrats to republicans;
hence they voted for Savage and otl>
ers; while many others were indifer.

ticket without any questions, and had

sioners," the commission would have
been defeated. The people, save a
few demagogues, are friends to the
railroads, and the railroad officials
and employees are, with few excep

are citizens of our state and county

and are entitled to equal rights ant
protection with all other citizens anc
corporations. And while we believe
unjust discrimination should be pun
ished, and the regulation of railroad
fees and charges perhaps may neec
: the assistance of a state or nationa
commission, the present Legislature
would, in our opinion, reflect the vii
of the voters of Tennessee by repeal
ing the present law, and letting tn
matter rest awhile at least.
