LIMITED States senators often be-
~ come good friends, but somehow
they are not prone to becom-
ing real chummy with one another.
Exceptions occur from time to time
to prove the rule. One of these excep-
lions applies to Senator Philander C.
Knox Of Pennsylvania and Senator w.
Murray Crane of Massachusetts. If
the afternoon wanes without their
meeting, n is likely to start out to
see where the other is and to learn
what has happened.
Often the Knox automobile and the
Crane automobile exchange honks in
the morning. Not infrequently the
senators ride to the capitol in the
same car. When the luncheon hour
comes, Senator Crane may descend to
the committee on rules, perhaps herald
his advent by turning out the lights
in the vestibule, and then lead his
crony off to the senate restaurant.
The fondness that Senators Crane
and Knox evince for eating together
is reminiscent of the fondness that
former Senator Edmunds of Vermont
and the late Senator Allen G.. Thur
man of Ohio used to have for drinking
together. That was in the earlier
days, when drinking at the capitol was
not frowned upon.
All the oldsters in political Wash
ington are fond of recalling that story.

Culberson of Texas at a small gather.
ing of friends the other day in Wash
ington, "but sometimes a man rubs ell
bows with events which make him less
skeptical about such things. A fine
young boy near Dallas was shot while
out hunting. and the bullet lodged SO
nea his Aee:t that there was not n
chance in a thousand that he could
survive an operation. But he did sur
vive, and the operation was one OF the
things of which the surgeons In the To-
cal hospital were very proud. But
the boys recovery was tedious and as
OOH as the fever left him he was
allowed to see his friends and to play
cards and generally to amuse himself.
The bullet had been given to the boy
and occupied a conspicuous place on
the table. Every caller saw and handled
the bullet and talked over his almost
miraculous escape from death. One
day the boys mother was with him
and several relatives when a boy
who had formerly gone to school with
the patient paid him a visit and OF
course he wanted to hear all about
the operation and to e the bullet.
The boy told it all with great vim
and then, taking up the bullet, he said:
Here's the bullet that caused all the
trouble, and now l shall bite 1t to
pieces to pay it back and he laugh
ingly put it in his mouth. Just then
he a seized with a coughing fit, the
bullet slipped down his throat, lodged
in his windpipe, and in a few minutes
he had strangled to death. The poor
mother was nearly crazed with grief.
but she afterward told the pastor OF
her church that she felt her o was
destined to die of that bullet and that
she had little confidence of his re-
covery, even when the operation was
pronounced successful. She had dab
bled somewhat in the occult sciences
and she declared that the boy had been
predestined from all time to die from
that particular bullet and that nothing
could a him from that fate"

Automobiles are coming into more
general use in Mississippi than former
ly. Yazoo City has a line that takes
the place OF a street q system and fills
the bill comfortably. Jackson has a
line recently placed in operation that
carries passengers to Clinton, Raymond
and Cooper's Well, and when the
weather is good has more than it can
handle. Vicksburg has operated heavy
passenger cars through the National
cemetery for some time and the owners
find it especially profitable. Clarksdale
operates q freight line into Friars
Point for the purpose of getting advan-
tage of water rates on freight, and pos
sibly there are other lines in operation
in the State. The auto is here and
here 10 stay. Now the subject that
always comes up is the proper protec-
ton of the rights of other vehicles and
pedestrians on the public highways.
Auto drivers are frequently reckless in
their disregard Of the rights of others
and stringent laws strictly enforced
are absolutely necessary. A short time
spent on the streets Of jackson or any
of our larger towns demonstrate the
t~ruthfulness of this. Laws that are
equitable and just to all parties are de-
manded. Both have rights that must
be respected. Such measures were
mentioned at the last session Of the
but no definite action was
taken. The next session will likely be
called upon to do something to relieve
the situation.
