THE LOGICAL WOMAN,

Someone has said that a woman
has no logical views, that her v~y
temperament has such a bearing up
on her ideas that she continually al
lows her mind TO fiatter in-the- most
erratic manner from one view to
another, and usually permits Others
TO influence her in argument True,
there are women OF this type, though
there arc women with Logical minds
and philosophical views that some
might emulate. but never attain.
There is less crying need for women
with brain and influence TO turn the
tide OF common events than there IL
tor women filed with human kind
ness, sympathy and a good feeling of
comradeship for all persons. What
Is logic II II does not include SYM
pathy; and what Is II IL 1t does not
spur a woman on to the completion OF
Ter highest attachments in the most
wOmanly manner? One may have
correct reasoning, and at the same
time be stoical to the point OF in
difference. A broad-minded person
may Do pOoSSoSeu OI uUeTdl views III
one direction and narrow In another;
consequently the logical woman Is
not to us the one who has mastered
higher studies or reached her various
degrees In college. but she is the wo-
man OF liberal views that realizes
the weaknesses OF human nature, is
sympathetic and reasonable in her
line OF life. let 1t be what it may.
There is a woman of beautiful tenn
permanent who is logical though
weak in philosophical views because
she is lenient to those who continu-
ally trample upon her nature and
disposition. She realizes IL but, be-
ing a woman, lets the womanly side
predominant, but the logical views
are as strong as those OF the brain
lest man, but she has her broader
views tempered with the disposition
TO please, to let ideals slip aside, to
side in with the other party, for
which reason she is looked upon as
a woman without logic, while she
Possesses 1t in a marked degree.

While having every wish to

thc'BEACoN must reflect only the
true opinion MS of the paper, which
are strongly adverse to Mr.. Var
daman's political aspirations. But

ions. and we will be glad to print

equally as great, if not greater.
If the State insists upon its posi-
ton to a point where it will force
the severance of these connec-
tions, the only way we could get
service with the nearby towns
and country neighborhoods we
now reach would be through the
building Of another exchange in
Starkville. This we do not want,
for two systems would simply di-
vide the patronage and compel
the business and professional
men to take both telephones at
an increased expense, and be-
sides, those not having two tele-
phones would only have a partial
service. With the railroad com
mission regulating rates and SER
vice, two systems become even
more undesirable than would be
the case if there were no State
control.
When nobody complains but a
few lawyers, who have worked
up the case against the Cumber-
land for private gain.;why should
the State disturb the present sat
isfactory conditions and force up
on us chaos, annoyance, and use
less expense, or the alternative
inconvenience and loss?
AS it appears that any viola
ton of the law is merely techni-
cal when there is no malicious or
evil purpose in the making of the
contracts, andlmoreever that there
is no general public complaint,
but on the contrary that the pub
lie is benefited, we hope that the
State will reconsider its position
in regard to this matter, and al
low these various companies to
pursue their business peacefully
under the jurisdiction of our rail
| road commission which with its
right to regulate all rates and SER
vices, should be able to deal with
the situation.

Jefferson Davis And The Hall Of
Fame.

The New Haven Register is a
Northern newspaper which realizes
that the Civil War is over, hence
when it has occasion to do SO it
discusses the men who supported
the cause of the COnfederacy with
perfect fairness and without any
feeling of bitterness or socialism.
With respect to the proposition to
place a statute of jefferson Davis
i'm the Hall of Fame at Washing
ton, the Register declares that no
mar has hOnOred the State of
Mississippi and the South has no
nObler representative of the essence
of its ideals.
''Is it too much to conclude"
says the Register, mot merely
that the North has forgiven JEFF
ferson Davis, but that at length it
has come to the realization that
it's bitter hatred of him was with
out ground, and that here also was
a man of honor, a man who fought
and suffered-Oh, so much-for his
fidelity to an eternal principle.
The North even yet understands
little of the Southern viewpoint,
but the lights dawning. And it's
failure to express heartier approval
of the advocacy of justice to JEFF
ferson Davis is due in part to
shamefacedness at the error which
has been nursed so long"
The Register admits, however,
that "a serious attempt to place
the likeness of Jefferson Davis in
one of Mississippi's inches would
cause a tremendous storm, but i
would be good for the air." This
may be true, but what would Miss
issippi or the South gain by caus-
ing such a storm. No additional
honor would be conferred on Mr..
Davis memory by placing his
statue in what somebody has call
ed the Hall Of Freaks, and so fa1
as his fame is concerned that is
secure for all time in the history
of his cOuntrV.-StateS.

LET US BE JUST.

East Mississippi Times, Starkville
For many years the Cumberland
Telephone company has, by col
Meeting with nOn-cOmpeting lines
in this State, enlarged the scope of
service afforded it's patrons and
the patrons of the companies with
which it connects, thereby greatly
enhancing the value of the service
to the public. OF late the State Of
Mississippi has filed a suit against
the company for over a million
dollars on the grounds that Ger
tain features of it's contracts are in
violation Of the anti trust law of
the State in that the contract re-
QuireS that the companies con
nected shall make no extension of
lines beyond the territory des-
cribed in such contract, nor make
connection with other companies
without the consent of the Cum
berland. The Cumberland claims
that these features of it's contract
are embodied in the contracts Of
practically all companies because
it is impractieable to regulate the
length of lines connected with, and
the character of service produced,
without them, for if some connect
ing connecting company should
connect with some poorly built
and equipped line and then con
meet this line with the general sys-
TEN, poor service would result,
and besides there would be no way
of knowing what places were
reached by the third line, unless
it had knowledge that the same
had been Connected; and further
more, without a contract with the
owners of the third line, no one
would be responsible either for the
quality of the service or for the
tolls due for the use of the Cum
berland lines. Succinctly the Cum
berland's position is that it wishes
to say with whom it will do bust
ness in the matter of these cOnnGc-
tiOns.
Certainly these reasons seem
fair enough, and they are not to
bC EASILY OISOOuIIUGN, DCOiuSC III dC-
tically all of the men owning the
smaller systems connected with the
Cumberland have appeared before
the Attorney General and the Rail
road Commission and stated that
not only had the Cumberland not
undertaken to force the terms of
this contract upon them, but that
they approved the features of the
contract to which the State OBJ
jects and, in fact, these smaller
companies could not do business
without the protection that these
features afford.
In this state of affairs, with
practically all the telephone men
satisfied and the public being
benefited instead of hurt, it is
too bad that the State has a de-
sire to interfere, for the connec-
tions which the State threatens
to disturb, are of unreasonable
value to the public generally.
Here in Starkville, the Cum
berland connects with many far
mers' lines. and more important
still, we KAYE at this place con
nection with Sturgis, Maben and
Mason line, where exchanges are
owned and operated by private
parties, with lines covering the
surrounding country pretty gen
orally. These facilities consti-
tute a most valuable business and
social adjunct to this community,
agd If the connections are inter
ferred with, not only would we
o,,For have h,,@ ~ .
