THE PUBLIC SCHOOL FUND.

Mr.. Guy d. Dean, of Scranton, has
furnished une Memphis Commercial
Appeal with a map and some very in
teresting statistics on the distribution
OF the common school fund in Missis-
sippi. Mr.. Deans statistics are gath
cred from the state auditors report,
and show that twenty-one counties
of south Mississippi paid on the state
school fund $165,S26 more than they
received back from the fund. He goes
further and shows that the average
south Mississippi county gets back rs
cents out of each 81 paid on the school
fund, while the average north Missis-
sippi county gets back $1.24. In in
dividual instances: Perry county gets
back only 81 cents out of each dollar
she sends up, and Lamar county gets
back 3S cents, while in north Missis-
sippi Choctaw county gets back 1922
and Oktibbeha gets back s207 for each
dollar paid in. Besides the $165,S26
which south Mississippi counties pay
into the state school fund more than
they get back, these counties levy a

Taft's message to the country will
not be read by one in ten thousand
of the voters of the country; but the
salient features will be so much
cussed and discussed by those who dc
read the message that the common
people will catch on tolerably well
by voting time next fall. That is why
the press has so much influence and
power; it is a public educator. That
is why corporate interests have sub.
sidized so many newspapers. That
is why the people should beware OF
subsidized newspapers. They can
state half truth and upon it predi
cate good argument whereas if the
whole truth was stated the falsity OF
the argument would be plain. Upon
the honesty and freedom of the Press
rests the safety of the Nation; and
a subsidized paper cannot be either
honest or free with the people.

ignorance. OF all the porcine tribe

Of the razorback ever saw one, and
they are becoming rare now as the
settling up Of the country and adop-
tion of no-fence laws are destroying
their ancient ranging grounds. Then
again, the craze of the age, which
sacrifices quality to quantity, has sub
stituted the fat-bearing varieties, with
all their ailments, for the rugged
healthy, self-sustaining razorback.-

Somebody fell upon the idea of a
tank car and the tank steamer for
the carriage of OIL" Well, who ever
objected to that? But somebody also
fell upon the idea of making a deal
with the railroads, by which, for value
received, the railroads should give
the Standard Oil Company a less
freight rate than to other dealers,
thereby enabling the aforesaid Stand
ard Oil Company to crush out all
competition and to become the hydra
headed monster monopoly that it Isl
and it is of that the public complains.
1t was not for shipping in tank cars
or tank steamers that the Americans
innocent little oil company was fined
s29 ,OOO,O for violation of the law Oh
the land which gave it life and pro-
lection in it's infancy; it was not for
falling upon the idea of the tank
car and the tank steamer" that the
courts have ordered some sort of
dissolution of the company. 1t was
for failing upon the idea" that no
other concern, company, corporation
or individual should engage in the
same business; for "tanking up" on the
idea that all the oil of the world was
its by inheritance;-it was for such
greed and for such illegal practices
that The Americans innocent little
pet is being bounded and prosecuted
by the laws and courts of the land.
| These aeroplane artists, while they
are young and innocent may fly the
heavens and no one will complain.
But if they get to dipping and taking
off the chimney of mans house, the
deluded individual owner of that
house will likely complain and do
some bounding, just as he does row
when the railroads run one of their
trains over his horse or bis COW. Of
course, according to the Americans
view of things, that will be unreason-
able; but just the same human nature
is built that way And though the
man in the aeroplane may fly on, just
as now the train speeds on, the rankle
| will be left behind in the human
breast, and by-and-bye that rankle
will become a roar.
II the man In the aeroplane wants
to butt his brains out In some sudden
descent to the earth, that is more or
less his business, and only few OF
his intimate friends will be particu-
larly concerned about it. But if he
sets himself up as common carrier,
and then for the greed of gold fails
to supply himself with all the safety
contrivances that the law prescribes
he should, right there he will infringe
upon the rights of others, and the
same unjust prejudice" of which all
corporation lawyers and subsidized
newspapers complain will manifest
itself in "denunciation and villifica-
ton" from the people.
| If the aeroplane artist, when he
takes to himself wings and scars aloft,
conceives the crazy notion that he
can with impunity dump his dish
water upon whomsoever he pleases,
some fool farmer, who does not know
any better, is liable to shoot him full
of holes; and despite the rawlings of
all the subsidized newspapers, an ig-
norant jury will acquit him therefor.

people have In defense Of their own

MEMORIAL EXERCISES HELD
Confederate Soldiers Graves Decorated at
 Oak Grove Cemetery.

The graves of 39 veterans of the
 Confe deracy who have entered into eternal rest were decorated with flowers at Oak Grove Gene tery yesterday afternoon, following ani interesting program of memo rial exercises. The day was the anniversary of Jefferson Davis birth. Nearly POO people were present and a profusion of flowers were brought for the decoration.
 The exercises began with song by the audience and an invocation by Rev. ]. B. Stevenson. An in- strumental duet by Misses Laura and Sallie Harton and vocal solo by V. G. Craig were rendered, following which Prof. C. J. Greene delivered the address of the occas- ion, in which he paid high trib- ute to the valor of the heroes of the lost cause. The exercises con- cluded with a song by V. G. Craig, s. E. Kirby and Miss Sallie Craig and benediction by Dr. J. E. Godbey. The march to the graves was then begun, and as flowers were tenderly laid over the sleep ing form of each veteran an appro- priate tribute by some surviving comrade who knew him we'll was made.
