There is considerable complaint
in town and country about the poor
quality of kerosene oil that Is on the
market here. Ii is so dirty that
the lamp wicks get stiff and san
dy sediment gets on the burner and
quite lot of dirt is found on the
sides and bottom Of the lamp. The
light that it makes is so dim that it
is difficult to read by it. If anyone
keeps good oil and the people knew
it, they would certainly get the oil
trade The oil trust has also raised
the price to 20 cents per gallon.
Mississippi should, like other states
have an oil inspector 81 every town
where oil is handled, then we would |
lot have the inferior quality dump

TOO MUCH TALK OF HARRINGTON.

There is persistent effort, springing
from nobody seems to know where, to
give the public an exaggerated notion
of the Importance in society, literature
and statecraft of Booth Harrington, of
Indiana. While it may as well be adj
mitted that the author of Monsieur
Beaueaire" is bigger man than Hetty
Green, for instance, he isn't Of suf-
f1cient avoirdupois to take up space
equal to that of J. Pierpont Morgan,
John w. Gates or even Senator Fair,
banks, of Mr.. Tarkingtons own tight
little Hoosier bailfwick.
Almost every day we are told that
Mr.. Harrington has become famous as
a writer Of books and as playwright
and that he is already prominent in
the politics of Indiana. Incidentally,
we are told that he has taken unto
himself wife. All these items are in
teresting when given once, but there
is no good reason why they should go
into the perennial list, to be repeated
at least serni-week1y. If Mr. Tarking-
49, '~~N~~|
get married and go to the legislature
and get bill passed providing for the
offering Of prizes for the best Hoosier
poems and essays, let him go ahead
with the performances, all and singular.
This is free country full of pens, ink,
paper, ozone and other things needful
for strenuous life, and nobody, we
take it, is inclined to prevent Mr.. Tark-
1ngton from going right ahead in an
effort to become a second Dickens or
Balzac, but there is really no good rea-
son for this plethora of adulation of a
green young man who has not vet Sc
cured a warranty deed to his spurs.
II Mr.. Harrington has really that high
degree of modesty for which most IN
diana people are noteworthy, he will
call off his boomers until he has had
time to discover whether he is a great
man or false alarm.
