this is true partially, but pedagogy is
like religion--the more you try to help
fellow laborer with your theories
and practice the more efficient you
yourself become. The power of teach
ing is very much like ones knowl
edge of history-it is never so great
as when you are often repeating it to
others. Again, you cannot afford to
take your troubles to your patrons if
you had time, nor could they fully
sympathize with you not having had
similar experience. More than this
you can learn much from the expert
ence of the humblest teacher in the
county. Do you say you cannot ap
ply the methods and experience of
others? No, perhaps not. But how
about your own? Are they always
successful? 1t is a most evident fact,
IS 1t not, that he who thinks he is so
wise that he cannot learn from the ey-
perience of others is the biggest fool
Of all? 1t is no more than might be
expected that the teachers of this
county should be getting such low
salaries. When the people see the
teachers demand more by personal
Improvement then it will come to
pass. Now let every teacher and friend
to good schools see that we have the
largest educational meeting January
l6, ever known in Rankin county.
The time is ripe when the teachers
should offer some resolutions memoir
alizing the legislature, now in session
at Jackson, to pass some very impor-
tant laws for the benefit of the schools
of Mississippi.

CONTESTS.
Breen and stranahan Win First Fall
Before Supreme Court.

0CpOTS 0OPSSUuS SSS's
Helena, Dec. 23.-Peter Breen. OF
Silver Bow, and +. E. Stranahan, OF
Chouteau, have scored the first point
in their actions to have themselves
declared elected district judges In
their respective counties. the supreme
court today having handed down a
decision in a motion In the cases, with
Chief Justics Brantly dissenting. The
motion to quash and the demurrer in
terposed by the respondents In the
case are overruled, and the respond
ents are given five days In which TO
answer.
The point involved In these cases
had never been before the supreme
court until II was presented In the
mandamus proceedings instituted by
Mr.. Breen and Mr.. Stranahan. The
question is whether all OF the district
Judges Of the state must be elected
in the same year. In Mr.. Breen's
case, he brought suit to compel Gov
ernor Joseph X .Toole to issue to him
a commission for the third ~judgeshiT
In Silver Bow county. He commended
that under the constitution Judge Jno
b. McClernan's election two years ast
was not for the usual four year term
but for two years, or until the mex
general election, which was that o.
last month. As he received the thirt
highest vote for district Judge In Sill
yer Bow county, Mr.. Breen contends
that he should succeed to the place
now filled by Judge McClernan. de
spite the fact that the election proc
lamation by Governor Toole did no
cali for the election OF a third iudg,
IN that county.

The Shippers Lack of Remedy.

Railroad lawyers are insisting that
the proposition to clothe the Interstate
Commerce Commission with the DOW
er to substitute a just for an unjust
rate, subject only to the revision oil

1t is an execution Of judgment ire.
spective Of the right of appeal. The
answer to this might be that when.
ever the commission saw fit to order
a rate substitution the courts are still
open to the carrier and the injunction
remedy still applies. However, II the
position be taken that the measure
proposed by the president be revoiu.
tionary, may 1t not be more truthfully
said that the conditions surrounding
the transportation industry of the en-.
tire country are revolutionary and un-
precedented In history?
Years ago railroads competed In
the true sense Of that term. Now
there has been accomplished such q
community of stock ownership that
competition as to the freight rate, at
least, has all but entirely disappear
ed. Furthermore the legal and trans
p0rtation conditions are such that the
railroad itself is the final court of ap-
peal when the business Of its own
freight rate is called into question.
Commercial lawyers might argue that
a revolutionary condition has been
reached when a party In interest be.
comes the final arbiter. Be this as II
may, the shipper who today appeals
to the commission for relief against
an excessive OF unjust freight rate Is
practically without remedy unles; the
railroads see At to obey the orders
OF the commission.
All the commission can do Is to
point out the abuse, and then the ship
per must rely upon public opinion
to compel its correction. The virtual
futility Of appealing to the commission
for relief from burdensome charges is
being demonstrated today In Chicago,
where the commission is taking evi.
dence in the terminal charge case,
which has been nearly a decade on its
journey through that body to the
United States supreme court and back.
And should the commission finally de-
eide that the termina. charge Is ex-
cessive 1t Is possible for the railroads
to reduce that charge SO little az to
make the ruling Of the commission
and the courts abortive.
p With rate competition eliminated
and human nature unchanged it is
certain that the excessive or unjust
rate will be more common than 1t
has been In the past. Accordingly
those in favor of increased power for
the commission urge that 1t is not
revolutionary but simple justice that
the shipper have an impartial and ef-
fcctive tribunal to which he may ap-
