not given it.; and no penalty. other
than this was enforced. The trust Is
now doing business, just as before,
and has since raised its charges on
compressing cotton. Such is our in
and we have heard OF no
denial. The press reported that the
retail Lumber Dealers Association
suggested a test suit against them
selves to determine whether they had
violated the anti trust laws, and put
certain of their books and dealings be-
fore the attorney general for such a
test, and that the test case was
brought, without any penalty being
sought, although the law provides thai
every days operation of trust should
be punished by fine of from 5000. N
to rs, 900. 90. If we are misinformed,
the point of this misinformatior
claimed should be designated, but sc
far, this has not been done. If suit bt
brought to merely determine how
much can be done by trust, safely,
the suit should not be brought. Th'
penalty should always follow q violat

voked when o violation is claimed il
a legal proceeding. This is our posi-
tion, nothing more and nothing less.

FRENzIED FINANCE OF 1888.

The Mexican Herald in an article in
tended to show how history repeats
itself, quotes from the diary of Phillip
Horne. who was mayor of New York
in 1895. Writing of occurrences in
the stock market in December 1888,
after declaring that times were
gravely hard" Mr.. Horne observed: /:
The gambling in stocks has b.en
carried on by brokers to an extent dis
graceful to the character of the city.
This consists in selling stocks ahead,
where man sells to the amount of
millions without owning a dollar Of
the stocks, betting it will fall and then
taking pains by every kind Of lying
and chicanery to injure the reputation
of the stock that he may win"
This leads the writer to opine that
human nature does not greatly change
as the years go by. According TO their
opportunities the mills and bears of
the stock market, were about as rest
less and..ravenous when jackson was
president and fighting the money pow.
or as they are now, when President
Roosevelt is uni gatefully making faces
at the corporation that rut up money

Railroads seek to gain time and
escape regulation by standing for states
rights, whenever congress proposes re-
gulation in the interest of the people
and for the rights of the federal gov
ernment whenever the states propose
regulation in the interest of their cit
izenship. At bar associations, and at
other public gatherings, and through
the newspapers, prominent railroad
attorneys declare for rigid enforce
ment of the doctrine of states rights.
Then, the same attorneys, whenever
occasion arises, seeks the aid OF feder
al judges who have life time jobs anc
railroad training, to undo and annu
whatever laws the different states
pass. The action of the railroads, o.
their attorneys and newspaper support
ers, is simply play of the states
against the federal government, ant

ONE.MAN POWER Is UNDEMO
CRATIC.

Much has been written about the
czar-like power of the speaker of the
house of representatives at Washing
ton, but that speaker has not the pow
or to name more than bare majority
OF any committee. the ether members
being named in any manner the min
ority party may choose, and from the
minority membership. The speaker
of the house atJackson not only names
the whole of each committee, but also
its chairman, and thus practically
shapes legislation. promoting what he
favors, and retarding or defeating
largely what he opposes; and deprives
in this way the house, from being a
self governing legislative body. For
such domination of legislature by one
man, there is no authority whatever
in our constitution or laws, That
power Is derived solely from rules of
the house of representatives. Each
house makes its own rules, and is not
bound by the rules of any predecessor
further than it chooses.
This arbitrary power given to speak
ers was doubtless brought about, in
the past, by some shrewd politician
running for speaker, and pledging the
choice of chairmanships and commit
tee places to those would be leaders,
who could be so caught, and would be
of greatest aid to such a scheme.
Those expecting such benefit, and
sometimes several expect the same
thing, doubtless Joined forces, and
each lined up such of the members Of
the legislators as he could control, anc
thus gave, to themselves, through thu
speaker, their self selected places, Il
the exclusion of all who were not il

had been once worked and the prece'
dent once established. it was easy tt

The only possible excuse possessing
scintilla of validity for the election
of any Jackson man to be speaker of
the next house of representatives would
be that he posse ssed qualifications for
the position far superior to any other
member of the legislature. Every
thing being equal, that honor should
go elsewhere, as the state capital has
already all the state Offices, with one
exception. 1t is not contended even
by the most ardent supporters of the
Jackson candidate, that he stands
head and shoulders above the member
ship of the legislature, or that he pos
sesses eminent or distinctive qualifica-
tions for the position. So far his only
claim to distinction has been a merely

Some of the unctious Holy Willie"
of the Mississippi press are calling at
tention to how unco guild" they are
in not publishing booze advertisements,
and like their prototype in the temple,
with sanctimonious optics rolled up
toward the cerulean blue, they thank
the Lord that they are not like the
''publicans and the sinners" who ap-
parently compose the majority of the
state press. The insertion of whis-
key advertisement in paper by no
means spells" that the editor or pro-
prietor is an advocate of the whiskey
traffic. Advertising space is the pub
lisher's stock in trade which besells to
the customer to be used by him as he
sees fit, as long as it is not contrary
to the laws of the land. There is no
ban placed by the government on the
advertisements for whiske and they
appear in all classes of secular papers.

ought to be tabooed as their perusal

uncomfortable desire to purchase an
instrument to hide in his inside pocket

law. Carrying their arguments to

The jackson Daily News is mistak-
en-, in charging the Lexington Adver-
tiser with abusing Fl NJ. Quin like
pick. pocket, 80 charge we fatty
deny, and call on the News for its
proof. We have directed attention to
the fact that, except the governor,
practically every state officer came
from jackson, and that, to have the
house and senate both organized by
Jackson men is to practically make the
state government, except the govern
orship, close jackson corporation,
with Jackson political influences, so
far as they differ from those of the re-
mainder of the state, predominant.
We also called attention, and shall
continue to do so, to the fact that Mr..
Quin openly and actively sought to
control, at the same time, both the
governorship and speakership, and
having failed in tho govrenorship. the
governor whom he failed to defeat
should not be crippled by such adverse
organization of the house Of represent
ativs as would probably follow an
election of Mr.. Quin, who could thus
undo, in part, what the state intended
to do bv voting for what Mr.. Noels
candidacy represents.
The Lexington advertiser., 1907-12-06

The talk of Mr. Quin having a ma
jority of the legislature committed to
his SUPPORT for speakership comes from
some of the same papers which insisted
last year that there were but two can
didates for governor, each having the
support of one of the state factions,
and that the other men were not IN
the race, and would not be. Neither
of these two candidates who were SC
far in the lead, according to those
newspapers entered the second primary
at all. After the Legislators have
served awhile. they will find that nc
one is worse mistaken as to what the
Legislature is gong to do. and how il
is going to vote. than the local news

A number of newspapers throughout
the state are advocating the abolish
ment Of the Office of county treasurer
on the obvious ground that it is su-
perfluous Office and the counties are
paying thousands Of dollars out every
year for purpose which could be as
easily and safely accomplished through
the medium of banks. We have been
more than once impressed with the
common sense of this idea and some six
or seven years ago we advocated the
change in these columns. It is certain
ly the acme OF stupidity to pay an in
dividual to do a certain thing when it
can be done for nothing. For instance
the salary of the treasurer of Pike
county. obtained through his commits
sions, amounts to 81. 900 year, OF
course he does not keep the actual cash
of the county always in his possession ;
on the contrary, as soon as he receives
it he deposits it in that bank or banks,
which, in his Judgment. are perfectly
solvent and will keep it subject to his
order. Magnolia Gazette.
i Mr.. Quin and those nearest him,
while he was a candidate for speaker,
between the two primaries, did theil
utmost to control the governorship, AZ
against Mr.. Noel. then seeing no i'm
propristy in legislators trying ts
control the governorship, but having
failed in that endeavor, they now SEE
such an awful gulf between the gov
ernorship and the legislature and
speakership, that all who attempt t.
cross do 80 at the peril of life. Th'
governorship is no further from th'
speakership than the speakership i
from the governorship; and if a can
didate for..speaker successfully endeav
ors to control the governorship, an in
reference of one department. with tn
other is to be condemned, then Mr.
Quin and his following are self con
emned and what we and other friend
of Mr.. Noel. are doing is but maxim
public this self condemnation.
