We should not permit combinations to
go on until the success or failure Of great
railway systems is believed to be wrapped
up in one man. It entirely too much
power to lodge in single individual.
President Roosevelt once said that
Mr.. Hartman is the most dangerous
man in the world. His desire, and evil
dent intention, to syndicate all the rail-
ways in the United States and control
lines in foreign countries was thing
that President Roosevelt could not re-
gard with composure. He believed it
to be dangerous to the business of the
republic and conceived it his duty to
warn the various States and the people
against Hartman and his kind.
1t is extremely difficult to imagine
more dangerous condition than one in
which few men like Mr.. Hartman
could control the transportation facili-
ties of the country. 1t would be a mo-
nopoly to which every business, and
every shipper, large or small, would
pay tribute. The transpor-
tation lines of the country should be
operated independently so that the ship
pers would have the benefit of at least
healthy competition We should set
ourselves against the Hartman type of 7
'yndication and stand for at least suf-
icient amount Of competition to make
! transportation trust impossible. In
10 event is it safe public policy to per-
nit one man, or pool, to become so
trong that he can defy both compe-
ition and law, and create an impress
ion in the public mind and on the
took exchange that the prosperity of
very large portion of the railway bus
ness of the country can be destroyed

The appointment of Mayor Hugh
Barr, of Dresden, to be one of the coun-
sci to investigate the titles or claims ia
the lands of Reelfoot Lake is eminentIv
satisfactory SO far as we know. The
appointment of Puryear, however. is
meeting with serious criticism. Mr..
Puryear is too far from the base of ac-
ton, and besides he could not be as
much in sympathy with local interests
as someone in this county or nearby.
A large majority of the citizens here
preferred the appointment of Judge
Swiggart, and it would be much better

FiIterinn to Absorb Germs.

In the past few years it has become
quite a fad with dairymen, to draw
the milk from the COW into a pail
covered with a bat of absorbent cot
ton The claim is made that the cot
ton retains the bacteria or germs that
might otherwise reach the milk in
the pail, but dairy teachers say that
this statement is oyerdrawn. AS a
factor in securing absolutely clean
milk, the cotton is very valuable,
providing it is renewed when it has
been used but short time, as moth

through it, but While dry cotton will
prevent germs from passing through
it, wet cotton will not and as germ

ueless. Despite this fact we consider
its use a good thing and advise that
1t be adopted In all dairies.
