sorrow. 1t makes no noise, but when
handled by a brave and determined
little woman, no matter how small she
may happen to be, the hat pin is a
weapon of defense that must be reck-
oned with, even though it be. only
seven inches in length.
The Chicago alderman had in mind
that hat pin that is about a foot and
a half in length when he drew up his
ordinance. Evidently he had been Oh
the street cars or in other crowded
places when the woman with the long
hat pin got on board. He has per
haps had to dodge them to keep his
eyes from being jabbed out, his ear
pierced or his jaw punched, and if that
be true he cannot be blamed for the
effort to have the weapon outlawed.-

CORRUPTION ON THE BENCH.

When politicians fall out, truth is
usually to be found midway between
the charges which each side makes
against the other. The exposure is
always illuminating.
The Republican party in the state
of New York has been on the grill for
the past few weeks because Senator
Conger told how much cash he had
handed Senator Aids for the transac-
ton of certain business in the way of
Legislation, and this led to other ex-
posures of similar transactions.
The day has passed when anybody
believes that his political party con-
tains all honest men, and it is well
for our feelings that this is so. The
Democrats had very short time to
chuckle over the predicament of the
Republicans when j. w. Corners,
state chairman of the party, fell out
with Charles F. Murphy, boss of Tam
many Hall and of New York city.
Now both sides are telling what they
call the truth about the other. So far
the honorable Corners has exceeded
in truth-telling.
He says that it is a shame to make
men who want to be judges pay such
a high price for the privilege, and
there seems to be a general disposi
ton to agree with Mr.. Corners and
credit him with telling the truth, even

LAW ABOVE GOVERNMENT

Supreme Justice Wright of the SUI
preme court of the District of Colum-
bia has held that the law is above
the government and that senators,
like everyday folks, are subject to the
laws of the land.
This will be something of shock
to that superior body of gentlemen
constituting the senate of the United
States. The senators have always
looked upon their body with exalted
eyes, and when ,he summons - the
court was served disregarded it, I'M
der the assumption that United States
senators were superior to the ordi-
nary mandates of the law.
The decision Of Justice Wright is
remindful 1t required radical act
ion on the part of the people of Eng
land to convince the house of peers
that the rights of the people come
first in England. The lordly gentle
men sitting in the upper house of the
British parliament, felt the rebuke
and have been chastened by it.
The decision of Justice Wright,
coming at this particular time, will
have the same beneficial result in
this country.
No man is superior to the constitu-
tional law of the country in the Uni
ted States. Be he rich or poor, in
high office or in no office at all, he
is responsible to the courts for any
civil or criminal violation of the
statutes, and must be subject to the
same legal ends through the process
of the courts.-Commercia Appeal.

the amount would be subscribed for
many times over; showing that il
every man would do his part, how
easy it would be. But, pity It's, It's
true,' every man will not do his part;
therefore, some must do more than
their part. However, If you feel able
to do only your part, do that, and
there will be others who will do more
than their part to make up for those
who do less.
What is your part? That, every
man must decide for himself. But
there is a broad and general way of
looking at this. Perhaps your freight
bills amount to a mere trifie; but you
have residence or business property
to rent; and lower freight rates for
Eattiesburg would help you to rent
that property. Are you not interest
ed, and will you not be benefited by
these rates?
Perhaps you are doctor or a law
yer. Low freight rates build up a
town; bring people to that town. The
more people there are in a communi-
ty, the more work there is for the
doctors and lawyers to do. Don't you
think you could take one share, or
two shares, or four shares, to bring
people to this town for you to get
chance at?
| This new freight schedule will bring
new people to this town. The News
is reliably informed that capital is
waiting to start a wholesale hardware
store, a wholesale dry goods store,
and wholesale drug store in Hatties-
burg, If this deal goes through. That
means capital to be taxed; that means
that means employment to labor for
the building of these houses and the
conduct of these different lines of
| business; that means more money in
| circulation; that means an air of
growth and life and prosperity to Hat
tiesburg
And it takes only $500 in actual
cash to bring these thing about Now
we Go net want to say anything un.
pleasant or unkind about Hattiesburg.
But we will put it up to you. Don't
you think it will look to an outsider
as real stingy. close and penurious;
penny wise and pound foolish, if Hat
tiesburg turns down a proposition like
that?
How soon would the new rate be
effective? The News does not know.
But the signs indicate, and The News
is informed, that the new rate would
he effective in very few days after
the stock is subscribed We are in
formed, and we believe that all the
roads entering into Hattiesburg will
establish that rate, just as soon as
/ they can get their rating committee
together. OF course, there is no COM
bine or agreement between them Of
course there is no trust principle in
voked or violated. OF course they are
not in any way lodging or violating
the law. Nevertheless and notwith-
standing and all that, they do not
dare, one of them, to make a rate,

Just as soon as they see that the
people, by some streak of luck or in
dependent and aggressive movement of
their own are about to get relieved
from some other source, the railroa Is
it is history everywhere-get busy
and meet the threatened rate before
the new corners can get in good work
ing shape. 1t is our opinion, there
fore, that the railroads which now
find it impossible to give Hattiesburg
the Meridian and Jackson rate, will
find it quite easy to do just as soon
as the rate is established by some
agency more friendly to Hattiesburg's
interests. And they will be prolific
with excuses why they could not do
it before, and how glad they are to
do it now. The general excuse will
be, 2our people wanted to do it all
the while, but out connections would
not consent" It viii all be the fault
of the other fellow, of course.

Good Time to Turn Farmer.

In theory there never was a better
time than right now for a sensible
man to move from city to country. The
movement has been away from the
farm unit! prices of all kinds Of food

greatly reduced by increased produc-
ton. A crop well grown and handled
