Missouri VS.. Uncle Sam.

A.Iaw has gone into effect in
Missouri providing that Insur-
ance and railway companies
which transfer cases from State
courts to the Federal courts shall
be subject to the forfeiture of
their charters. The law is de-
signed to increase the number of
jury trials and not TO leave the
disposition of cases to Federal
judges. The same provision is
found in the Oklahoma consti-
stitution. 1t is not likely that
the Missouri legislation will sur
vive the scrutiny of the State
courts. The question raised is
whether the exercise of a right
conferred under the Federal con-
stitution can be penalized by the
State Legislature, or even by a
State constitutional convention.
If the Federal courts have
authority over an issue in which
the railroads or insurance COM
panies are involved, it would be
a remarkable application of State
authority if it could punish a
by forfelting its charter
simply for invoking the Federal
judicial jurisdiction. n.-Philadel-
phia Ledger.

So Constituted.

There are some people so con-
stituted that they go straight for
the pleasant things as a bee
pitches for clover top as soon as
be is out of she hive. They like
everything. Ii they 60 to a con-
cert they find at least one voice
that suits them, wondering how
Col could nut so much melody
into single throat. They enjoy
the spring, they love the summer,
they luxuriate in the autumn,
they praise the winter. They are
pleased under any and all cir
cumstances. They are the people
you like to have for customers
if you are q merchant, for clients
if you are q doctor, but you don't
often get them on the sick list
for they can. cure almost any
kind of Q disease, even a "brain

Iron Mountain IMPROVEMENTS.
The information has been re-
cuved in Baton Rouge that the
Iron Mountain road is hauling
material and placing it along its
rieht-of-way for the purpose of
rebuilding its tracks in North
Louisiana, as directed by the
order of the railroad commission
several months ago.
The road is getting out cross
ties and gravel and has much of
it, SO it is reported, distributed
along the route, with the expect
alton of beginning the rebuilding
work as early as possible.
Information was received sever
al weeks ago that it was the pur-
pose of the Iron Mountain system
to, carry out the order of the
commission in regard to making a
better bed. There have been a
large number of complaints before
the commission on account of the
roadbed of the Iron Mountain
and it was largely these complaints
that led to the order of the. COM
mission in regard to a general
Improvement of the line. 1t viii
take the road some time to carry
out the order and to ballast and
place new crossties over its entire
main line.. 49,

Encouraging Signs.

1t is a hopeful sign when people
are holding meetings all over the
parish to protest against or to
agitate for the adoption Of school
taxes and road taxes. 1t is a
good sign when men and women
are writing letters to the news
papers complaing that we pay
too much road tax or that we
pay too little road tax. 1t is a
healthy sign when people organ
ize indignation meetings and
write long letters to the news
papers complaining of the public
schools or protesting against the
voting Of taxes for special pur-
poses.
Of course all these people who
write about the roads and the
schools are wrong-or at least a
large percentage Of us think they
are wrong, while probably about
an equal percentage Of us believe
they are right-but it makes no
manner of difference whether
they are right or wrong. The
important point is that they are
interested enough in public roads
and the public schools to kick
about them. and when people are
sufficiently interested in the roads
and the schools to kick and keep
kicking-no matter on which
side they kick-the sign is right
for Improvement in the means of
transportation and in the means
Of public education.-CrowIey

men who Harm the Town.

A wise 'excnange says that tho
men who harm the town may be
found ia those who oppose i'm
provements; those who do not
advertise; those who distrust
public men; those who run it
down to strangers; those who
show no hospitality to any one;
these who hate to see others

cry stranger as an interioper;
those who put ON long faces when
q stranger talks of locating there

lie enterprise that does not
appear to be personal benefit to
themselves. H

SOUTHERN BISHOP
LANDS I'm BAD"
Says He'd Eat With Negro,
But Did Not Know
Reporter.

Richmond, Va, Oct. %. -
Bishop Henry c. Potter, of New
York, in an interview, regarding
his entertainment at dinner of
Bishop Ferguson, the negro
delegate to the Episcopal conVen-
ton, said:
There is nothing strange in
that, I'll wager two shillings the
Bishop of Louisiana would have
accepted an invitation to meet
Bishop Furguson if | had ex-
tended it to him. He added,
turning to the Louisianian.
Wouldn't you. bishop?''
The bishop of Louisiana replied
in the affirmative, and Bishop
Potter, turning to the reporter,
said: Il knew it. "
The bishop of Louisiana did
not know that Bishop Potter's
companion was a reporter, and
when he learned that his fellow
bishop had questioned him for
publication he was much disturb
ed. He explained to the re-
porter later that he had an
swered in a perfunctory and
pre- occupied sort Of way.
Il am a southern man." he
continued, "and the influences
there are far different from
those in the North. He seemed
much aggrieved that his name
should have been brought into
the matter, and expressed ap-
probation of the opportunity to
explain his position.

Great Crowds at the Fair,

FROM w eunesday Dally.
Last night many handsomely
costumed ladies appeared, with
gaily decorated conveyances,
ready to participate in the horse
show, b but the management
deemed it advisable to postpone
same on account of the threat
ening aspect of the weather.
The same program will be given
tonight.
Though there was an immense
crowd yesterday, there were no
accidents, no rowdyism, no
drunks. In fact, it may be stat
ed in compliment to ourselves,
and without fear of contradiction,
that no where on this globe
could there be found in the same
number a more orderly, better
dressed, better behaved lot of
people than the assembly at the
fair grounds yesterday.
The races resulted as follows:

GULF COMPRESS OFFERS
To SELL TUPEL0 PLANT.

Jackson, Miss Oct. Is
While the Gulf Compress com
pany has thus far not under
taken to dispose of any of its
property in this state, in accor-
dance with the decree of Chan
ceIlor Hicks in the antitrust
litigation, ordering the corpora
ton to quit business in Missis-
sippi within the next twelve
months it is understood that
the twelve congresses now in
operation will be disposed of if
offers approXimating their val
ue are made.
At Tupelo, where an indepen-
dent plant was bought up some
time ago by the Gulf Compress
company, the cotton interests
have made a strenuous protest
against the recent advance in
rates, claiming that when the
sale was made they were given
a verbal guarantee that no
charges would be made in the
tariff of charges. The corpora,
tion offers the explanation here
tofore made that the advance
was absolutely necessary because
Of the fact that some of the
plants were operating at loss,
and, furthermore, that the
charges are not relatively higher
than those Of Independent plants
operating in the same territory.
President Hanson also offers to
sell the Tupelo compress to the
former owners if they wish to
purchase at the price paid by
the corporation,

STATE HARD UP
FOR READY COIN
Grave Financial Problem Con-
fronts Incoming Mis-.
SiSSippi Administration.

Jackson, Miss, Oct. % 5-The
financial question will be one of
the most troublesome problems
to be brought before the next
legislature for solution, and the
recommendations of Gov elect
Noel on this question will be
awaited with much interest by
the members of the two lawmak-
ing branches.
Mississippi's bonded indebted
ness is no larger than that of
any other state I'm the South,
propOrtiOnate to assessed val
uatiOn, but today the treasury is
practically empty, and the fiscal
officers are in a quandary over
the question of raising sufficient
funds to meet the annual pen
sion appropriation, amounting to
$3.50, 600, which will soon become
due and payable. The increase
in assessed valuation, on which
ad valorem taxes for the current
year are based, will hardly eX-
ceed $1,000, 900, which means
that the prospective revenues
will be enhanced only $4,000
Gov. Vardaman has been una
bic to dispose of the remaining
$3.50, 600 of the half million-dol-
lar bond issue, because of the
fact that, the bonds bear inter
est at only 3 1-2 per cent, and
this is the principal cause of the
states financial stringency.
On the surface it looks like the
state will be compelled to either
float another bond issue or raise
the rate of the tax levy a half
mill, and. if the money market
stringency is not lessened by the
time the session is convened, the
latter alternative appears the
most acceptable.

HANG NEGRO To
ROADSIDE TREE
Black Who lnsuIted White
Woman at OkOIOna is
LynChed.

Okolona, Miss, Oct. 25. Hen
ry Sykes, a negro, charged with
insulting a young white woman
over the telephone, was taken
from the officer who was at
tempting to spirit him away for
safekeeping and lynched Tues
day night at Van Vleet, a station
five miles south of here.
Sykes was arrested Monday
night at a secluded part Of the
railroad yards, where there is a
telephone booth. On several oc-
casions recently, a prominent
young woman of OkOlona has
been called over the telephone
and insulted, indecent language
being freely used. By co opera
ton of the telephone officials,
the source of the calls was loca-
ted and officers laid in wait.
Monday night City Marshal
Murphree and Staff Brady and
J. M. Hargis captured Sykes in
the booth. The negro put up a
desperate fight and snapped his
revolver several times The
weapon failed to discharge.
Suspecting that trouble was
brewing, the officers decided
Tuesday to take Sykes to Hous-
ton for safekeeping, and Deputy
Sheriff J. j. Jolley left with the
negro early Tuesday morning.
The deputy was mounted, and
his prisoner was walking.
At Van Vleet, the officer was
overtaken by a small party of
Okolona citizens, who had learn
ed of the move. The crowd
overpowered Jolley, and taking
the negro, hanged him to near
by tree.
The town is quiet today, and
no extraordinary feeling be-
tween the races is exhibited.
