MISSISSIPPI CULLINGS
Two-Cent Fares.

The railroad commission is at a
loss to account for the marked de-
crease in railroad earnings, as shown
in the quarterly reports Of common
carriers filed with the secretary dur
ing the past few days. Traffic con-
ditions in Mississippi during the past
several months have been apparently
good, at least up to the average for
this season of the year, yet a majority
Of the quarterly reports show that
the companies have suffered heavy
losses, as compared with the CORE
spending quarter last year. Despite
these figures. it is undcrtood that
two-cent mileage, on flat basis, APP
plicable to all roads in the state, will
be recommended in the FINAL message
of Governor Vardaman and the in
augural address Of Governor-Elect
Noel. and it is believed that the mea-
sure will go through both houses with
very little opposition.

Baptist Orphanage.

DR.. J. R. Carter, superintendent Of

Baptist Associations now holding
their sessions in the State to take up
special collections for the benefit Of
the orphanage. +" Our new building

land it was estimated that we would
need about $4,000 to complete the
structure, but by doing as much Of
the work as we could ourselves and
using rigid economy we find that we
lack only $1,000 and I hope the Bap-
lists of the state and friends Of the
orphanage IN general will contribute
this amount as soon as possible, the
money being now due to the contrac-
tors. DIR. Carter states that the num-
Der Of children being cared for has
increased considerably DUNG the sum-
mer, the orphanage now having 135
inmates.

WILL HAVE TO GET RID. OF
SOME DEAD TIMBER.
DEPARTMENT HANDICAPPED
on Account of Salaries Paid by the
Department of Justice it is Heard
to get Capable Lawyers. Average
Amount is $4,000.

New York.-Attorney General Bon
aparte has decided that if he is to
remain at the head of the department
of justice to carry on an aggressive
war against corporations like the
Standard Oil Company, the American
Tobacco Company and others capable
of enlistfng the best legal talent In
the country, he will have to get rio
of somesof t he dead timber in his de-
partment.
The salaries paid by the govern
ment are not tempting to able law
yers. The highest paid to any assis-
ant in the Office below the solicitor
general is that to Mr.. Purdy whose
title is assistant to the attorney gen
eral." He draws $1,000. The Others
receive $4,000 or less. The majority
average about $4,000. The United
States attorneys ge more, and nisl
prius Judge in Indiana, with court at
rare intervals, derives more from his
Office than most of the assistant at
torneys general.
Frank B. Kellogg and other special
attorneys have been well paid from
a contingent fund, bat these lawyers

ident direct, and seem disposed to
take orders from the white house .ra-
Their than from the department. Of
justice. 1t has been suggested more
than once recently that when congress
begins peering into the expenditures
on account of these special federal
prosecutors and Investigators, and
their extraordinary fees of allow
ances, there will be much criticism,
for which the department of justice
will not he primarily responsible.
The attorney general would like to
see the department recognized so that
there would be more high class law
yers with modern ideas, fresh from
actual practice, and fewer odd bureau
ideas. He would like to see the attor-
ney general recognized as the actual
as we'll as the nominal head of the law
department of the government, to
whom every subordinate would be
accountable and from whom he would
take orders.

ing commission, ignoring the attorney
general and playing directly to the
president, and seeking to win presi-
Dental and popular favor by unique
and original methods of corporation
batting, is not conducive to the best
results, according to Mr.. Bonaparte' s
idea.
Unless the attorney general is allow
