Controlled Newspapers.

The Atchison Globe says that no ad-
vertiser has ever tried to control its ed
forial policy, the remark being occa-
Stoned by the charge often made nova
days, that the big advertisers direct
the editorial policy of newspapers.
The experience of re Globe Is the
experience of most newspapers. The
merchant who does great deal OF adj
vertising is more interested in the cir
culation department of a newspaper
than in the editorial department. If a
daily paper goes to the homes of the
people, and is read by them, he is salts
fed, and it may chase after any theory
or fad, for all he cares. He has troubles
OF his own, and he isn't trying to shout
der those of the editorial brethren.
There are newspapers controlled by
people outside of the editorial rooms,
and good many of them, more's the
pity; but the people exercising that
control are not the business men who
pay their money for advertising space.
The newspapers which are established
for political purposes are often con-
trolled by chronic officeseekers, whose
first concern is their own interests.
There are newspapers controlled by
great corporations, and the voice Of
such newspapers is always raised in
protest against any genuine reform.
The average western newspaper usu-
ally is controlled by its owner, and he
is supposed to be in duty bound to make
all sorts Of sacrifices at all sorts of
times; there are people who consider
1t his duty to insult his advertisers,
just to show that he is free and indie
pendent. If he shows a decent respect
for his patrons, who pay him their
money, and make it possible for him to
carry on the business, he is "subsi-
died" or controlled" The newspaper
owner is business man, like the dry
goods man or the grocer. The mer-
chants are expected to have considera-
ton for their customers, and they are
not supposed to be subsidized by the
man who spends five dollars with
them, but the publisher Is expected to
demonstrate his courage by showing
that he is ungrateful for the patron
age of his friends. 1t is funny COM
bination when you think 1t over

CUMBERLAND SUED FOR MILLION
Violations of State Antitrust Laws
Are Charged.

Hon. w. p. Shinault of Oxford, spe.
cial counsel for the state Of Missis.
sippi, filed bill in the chancery court
of Prentiss county, on behalf of the
state of Mississippi on relation of the
attorney general against the Cumber.
land Telegraph & Telephone Company,
charging violations by the Cumberland
Company of the antitrust laws of the
state by discrimination in prices be-
tween different localities and persons
in this; that the Cumberland Company
charges the people of Bonneville the
sums of 81 and $3.50 per month for
residence and business service in
Bonneville, while for the same service
it charges the people of Tupelo, Holly
Springs and sixty-six other towns in
the state the sums Of $1.65 for resi-
dence service and $2.75 for business
service per month; and, further, that
it discriminates in charges between its
subscribers in Bonneville, in that t
charges some of them So per moi.h
charges others only $3.50 per month
for same class of service.
The bill says that the Cumberland
Company, with an army of shrewd
operators and corps of officers
skilled in the business, and with its
great wealth at is command, has
brought every energy to destroy COM
petition that might stand in it's way
The bill states that the state of Missis
sippi desires to arrest the further vic.
lation of the law and to have in
force the penalties prescribed by law.
| The bill further states that the Cum,
berland Company was warned and
three times sued for its violation of
the antitrust law more than two years
before the filing of the suit. The state
of Mississippi prays that the Cumber-
land Company be decreed to pay it as
a statutory penalty the sum of 81 $780,.
900, and that it be restrained from fur
ther violations Of this law, and that it
be ousted from the state of Mississippi

POSTPONE CELEBRATION.
Reunion Of Survivors of Constitutional
Convention.

Conventions
For reasons which are manifest and
scarcely need explanation, those who
have been at work on the proposition
for holding a reunion of the survivors
OF the Mississippi constitutional con-
vention of 1890 have decided to fix the
date at later period of the year than
at first suggested, which was upon the
anniversary of the assembling of the
historic organization. The fact is ex-
planned, however, in the following let
ter, which was sent out today by Hon.
Robert e. Wilson, secretary of the
body, and whose interest and activity
is SO thoroughly enlisted in the cause:
Jackson, Miss, July 5, 1910.
Dear Sir-I am pleased to inform
You that the answers to my letter of
April 20, sent the surviving members
OF the constitutional convention of
1890, proposing reunion on the TWEEN
tieth anniversary, show that the prop
osition is unanimously approved.
"On account of the hot season, and
the fact that quite a number will
necessarily be away from the state in
August, it has been deemed best that
the reunion be held on November l,
that being the twentieth anniversary
OF the adoption of the constitution.
You are hereby notified that the meet
ing will be held in the new capitol at
II am. November 1, 1910.
you are earnestly requested to be
present. Very respectfully,
"ROBT. E. WILSON.

ton, 1890"
AS to a programme for the event,
that is a matter of detail which has
not yet been taken up. but for which
there is plenty of time, according to

Whitfield Makes Mastery Address.

DR.. H. L. Whitfield, in a mastery
address at Clinton to the teachers in
attendance on the normal, set forth
some very advanced ideas in and along
the lines of progressive educational
methods.
He started out with the proposition
that the Truth Will Make You Free,
and from this theme he developed g
most scientific theory Of educational
process to be pursued looking toward
the best results. If order and sys
tenn is the plan Gods works in all ma
ture, then, when the highest form OF
creation-that of human being is
reached, surely the same thing must
obtain. The purpose of all educa
ton is to know and to do, or in other
words, translate knowledge into use
fulness and power. But power is moi
to be used purely for self, but to
the glory and honor of God through
service to humanity. In thus living
the educated man comes nearest tc
the fulfilling of the ideal mission Of
his existence.
