Reliable information comes to this
Office that the sturdy yoemanry of
Wayne County. good old Wayne, a
county that always goes right, are
fayorably regarding the canvass of
f. M. Lee of Pike County for Rail
road Commissioner. This is good
news. Its news that does our hearts
good; its news that portends victory
for this grand old Pike Countian, for
when such well balanced political
gaugers as are found amongst the
cOrn-bread fellows of the Free State
of Wayne, begin to indicate their
disposition to favor man with their
suffrage it can be taken as a general
index to opinion over the district a.
mongst the best thinking class of
people. Already doth the hand-writ-
ing upon the wall appear for McNair.
To private life he will 60, not from
a malicious desire upon the part of
the people of the Southern District
to humiliate him, but as an express
ion from them of their choice of a
man who tinkereth not with the cup.
Nobody especially dislikes McNair.
Many sympathizes with him, to
which number we belong, but still,
our sympathy does not extend to the
limit Of political pity. We sympathize
with the man personally, but repudi-
ate him politically.

When we frld paragraph that 30
succuintly expresses our way of
thinking, as this from the F'loralla
News, we promptly make an incision
with the scissors:
"The News has always tried to
treat everyone fair and right. 1t
has ever tried to be on the right side
of all questions, but it has never been
the tool or the bootlick of any men
or measure. We were taught better
than this in the beginning and
brought up IN a higher faith. No,
not for few paltry dollars wonld we
be styled a panderer to do the bidding
of any clique no matter what their

MOBILE is getting a lot of boosting

MOBILE is getting lot of boosting
the last few days on account of the
dedication of the newly completed
train terminal in that city. Long
and loud are the plaudits for Col. E.
l., Russell in this connection. We
cannot holler very much about that
occasion nor the cause of it, since no
chance has appeared for US to eye it.
These days of no passes saves space
for the editors, as they don't get
around to see some of the big things
and give free write-ups. Maybee
some day the rich trunk lines that
converge into that city will take
notice enough of poor little Lealzes-
vile to publish their timetables in
our humble sheet and thus put into
our pockets enough money to journey
down to the gulf city and see this
great wonder of depot architecture.

The hope and mainstay of the anti

that despite this oft repeated claim
the facts do not materialige. If the e
is any one thipg which the oppon-
ents of Scott Shy around with per.
sistent energy it is concrete facts.
They love to revel in generalties, it
Is so cheap and then it may influence

to real conditions would be to cause
some embarrassment in the camp.

What was said to be one of the greatest
ratcpayers' demonstrations seen in Lon
don in many years occurred recently when
several thousands marched through the
streets to Trafalgar square, where a mass
meeting was held to protest against fur
Their municipal ownership experiments on
the part of the London county council.
The procession. which was more than a
mile in length, included many unique fea-
lures intended TO cast discredt upon the
municipal industries, among these being
fifty large gramophones which emitted
bitter comments upon "wastrels." The
meeting adopted a resolution stating that
This mass meeting of London ratepayers
Indignantly protests against the increas-
ing burden of rates, caused by the pro-
gressive socialist party, and pledges itself
to exert every effort to turn the wastrels
out on March 2, and place in power the
party of municipal reform"
Prime Minister Sir Henry Campbell
Zimmerman contributes to the Nation,
the liberal weekly, an article on The
Hague conference, in which he refutes
the objections to raising the question of
limitation of ornaments, contending that
nothing has occurred since 1898 to render
inopportune or mischievous the reduction
of ornaments which was then recognized
as desirable. On the contrary, he says,
the passage of years has only served to
strengthen the impression of 1898 that
the endless multiplication of engines of
war is futile and self-defeating, and that
what was then a suspicion, that no limit
could be set TO the struggle for sea pow
er save by the process of economic e1-
haustion, has now become something like
certainty. He asserts that Great Brit
ain has already given an earnest of her
sincerity by reducing her naval and mill
tary expenditures, and by undertaking to
go further if a similar disposition ID
shown elsewhere.

ROADS WOULD COST BILLIONS
Government Could Assume Control,
but at Great Price.

Government Could Assume Control,
but at Great Price.
The growing interest in government
control and ownership of railroads has
led officials in Washington to make some
estimates as to the cost and methods by
which such ends might be reached. Here
are some conclusions:
1t will cost the government in the neigh
borhood of $l6244, 100000 to buy the
railroads. That is. this is the CONNER
cial value of the whole railway plant, in
Guiding terminals, depots and all appurte-
nances, as estimated by the United States
census.
The government has the constitutional
power now to assume control and owner
ship of the roads. This was demonstrate
ed in the case of the Panama road, where
the government condemned the stock and
paid a fair market value for it.
In order to buy the railway system of
this country it is only necessary for the
government to appraise the property and
then to issue government securities in
exchange for the private securities now
standing against these properties.
There would be no real drain on the
Ouileu lie
would simply start its printing presses
and print the necessary $16,244 600 900
worth of bonds; then these would be is
sued in exchange for the private securi-
ties, which would be destroyed. Any dis
pute as to valuation would be settled by
condemnation proceedings.
Then Congress would probably have to
create another cabinet officer, a Secretary
Of Railways. He would run the railroads
Of the country just as the Postmaster
General runs the Postoffice Department.
When Switzerland decided to take over
its railroads a few years ago. the govern
ment concluded to pay for them on the
| basis of twenty-five times the average net
earnings for a period of twenty years.
This was easily determined in that coun-
try, owing to the fact that the accounts
of the railways had been under strict gov
ornamental supervision for that period.

The oriental point Of view Is an in
structive one, as is shown by the fol-
lowing:
At Allahabad, India, there has just
been issued the report Of the Hospital
for Women, and the Pioneer Of that
city prints couple of graceful letters
quoted in the report. The first ad-
dressed the lady at the -ad of the in
stitution thus:
Dear She My wife has returned
from your hospital cured. Provided
males are allowed at your bungalow,
l would like to do the honor of pre-
senting myself there this afternoon,
but 1 will not try to repay you-ven-
geance belongeth unto God. Yours no.
ticeably."
The second was in a strain Of even
more punctilious courtesy. 1t ran:
Dear and Fair Madam Il have
much pleasure to inform you that my
dearly unfortunate wife will be no
longer under your kind treatment, she
having left this world for the other the
night Of the 9th ult. For your help
In this matter / shall ever remain
