Forrest Monument Unveiled II
Memphis.

The unwilling Of the, statue Of
Gen. Nathan Bedfofa Forrest
took place IN Forrest Park, Mem
phis, on The 18th, inst, in the
presence Of many thousands of
citizens who gathered to witness
the closing events connected with
the erection Of the statue. Many
of the old followers of the great
cavalry leader, grizzled and gray,
were there to take part in the
ceremonies concentrating the
military achievements in which
they took part forty years ago.
Many incidents recalled the try
ing times through which they
passed following their intrepid
leader whose daring and success
in arms has never been surpass-
ed. To the people of this imme-
date section the unwilling of the
monument is of especial interest.
Gen. Forrest with his command
was for a long time the sole de-
Tense Of the people Of North Mis-
sissippi and fought back invaders
who came to destroy and turn de-
fenceless women and children
from the shelter of home and
rob them of the necessaries of
life. Under the shades of the
very trees that now adorn the
homes of many of our citizens
were planned and discussed the
battles which brought renown
and glory to southern arms.
These places should be held as
sacred ground and preserved with
a loving care.
The ceremonies Of the unveil-
ing were in keeping with the oc-
casion. Orators paid glowing
tribute to the character of Gen.
Forrest as a soldier and citizen
intrepid in warfare, unspotted in
his private life and character as
a citizen.

An Important Rate Decision.


The Supreme Court Of the
state on last week handed down
a decision upholding the author
ity of the railroad commission to
put in effect a rate, no matter
how low, that has been made by
a railroad on any ground or for
any purpose, so that the public
generally may be beneficiaries.
The case in which this important
decision was rendered was that
of the Alabama & Vicksburg R.
R.. Co., VS.. The Railroad Com
mission which has been pending
since the fall Of 1903. In Novem-
Der of that year the commission
ordered the Alabama & Vicks-
burg road to put in a fiat rate of
81 cents per 100 pounds on grain
and grain products and no more.
This order was resisted by the
road, the suit terminating with
the following decision by the
Supreme Court of the state:
"The commission is clothed by
law with necessary power to ac-
chieve the purposes Of it's exist
ence without resorting to menace
or treat to extort from any cor
poration subject to its lawful
supervision an unreasonable re-
duction of rates."
1T might be conceded that the
intra-business Of the railroad re-
suits in a net loss, and might
further be conceded that the
transporting and handling Of
grain and grain products at the
rate established, may not in ac-
tual operation bring a fair remu-
neration when limited to that
one commodity, nevertheless,
the rate having been established
by the voluntary action of the
appellant, it must not be SO en-
forced as to operate an unjust
discrimination against anyone.
IL the appellant chooses to es-
tablish as to a certain favored
class of shippers, a rate SO low
as to be unremunerative, justice
demands, and the law will re-
quire, that the rate be granted
to all alike. Special privileges
to none'' is the rule of action by
which common carriers must
measure their conduct.
Backed by this decision of our
highest court the commission
can achieve inestimable good to.
the people along the lines Of the
principal roads by putting in the
same rate on grain and grain
products on these roads. Taking
Greenville as starting point the
three and half cent rate could be
made to reach thousands upon
thousands Of consumers who are
contiguous to the Southern, Illi-
nois Central and Mobile & Ohio
That the people in this
territory are justly entitled to-
as low q rate as those alongthe
of the Alabama & Vicksburg
road is apparent and the com
mission should see to it that the
rate goes into effect by an order
if the roads do not put them in
voluntarily. !

Boys Wanted

Boys Wanted
The York pa Daily has q
sensible editorial dwelling upon.
ME opportunities there for the
right kind Of boys, which says:
"A number of young men, not
yet reached their majority, have
been heard to complain that small
opportunity is offered in York
for the young man. Of course,
this is in nowise correct. The
opportunities here are as great
as any where. Nothing could be
more fallacious than theidea that
one part Of the country or one
city is superior to another in
point of opportunities. The
trouble is that too many young
men and boys gain the Impress
ion that opportunities are to be
found at the roadside, like mush-
rooms, when, as a matter of fact
opportunities do not grow at all.
Men make opportunities, and
without the man of the right
kind of stuff there never is an
opportunity. Another trouble
with a good many boys is that
they are intolerably lazy. A
good many Of these boys do not
know that they are lazy; they
consider themselves oppressed
and abused individuals martyrs
to the poor circumstances of be-
ing cast in the confines of oppor-
tunityless York. They sit down
and bemoan their fate while 9th
ers are picking the cherries.
For boys who spend their time in
this way there is no possible
future in York. Neither is their
any where on the earth nor in
the waters under the earth. The
golden time of youth sees visions
of idle bliss that never can be
realized. A prime trouble with
a good many boys is that they
are prone to watch the clock.
The boy that watches the clock
never will be the head of the es-
Establishment. The boy who for
gets that there is a clock and
does what there is put into his
hands to do-does it to the best
of his ability and without COM
plant, is going to hold a good
job one Of these days. For boys
who are energetic and not TO nd
of watching the clock there are
the widest opportunities in York.
Every body wants boys of this
kind"
The boys wanted in York are
the kind of boys that are wanted
in nearly any community that has
a bit of a spiritof progress about
lit. Too. many boys nowadays
seem to have been born tired. or
to have been made tired through
some process competed with their
education. They do watch the
clock, and if by some fortui-
tous circumstances they do land
job, a they seem possessed with
but one idea, and that is, that
they shall promptly receive their
pay envelope on Sundays. Boys,
get a hump on yourselves.
