The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1910-06-09

The House or Lords as it stands is
an anachronism; Mr. Asquith said so
and the House of Lords itself (prompt-
ed by the Earl of Rosebery and the
Handwriting on the WalD had said
so some time before. In his speech
Mr.. Asquith said farther that he and
his political friends mean to "get rid"
of the anachronism and free the Com
mons from "thraldom." In an unfor-
gotten ante-election speech he said:
1--WE are not going to reform the
Lords" Yet now we find him, remarks
the Hartford Courant, talking vaguely
about contemplated changes in the
makeup of the second chamber, and
saying that his resolutions are not
brought forward to prevent them. The
rumor that there are two opinions in
his own cabinet about all this queer
lacking and filing is probably a
truthful rumor.

ILLINOIS Central
ALLEGES HUGE Steal
Company has been Defrauded
of $4,000, 600 in Four Years
FOUR FORMER OFFICIALS SUED
Scheme Alleged to Have Been Work
ed Through Overcharges ON Re-
pairs. Former Officials Face
Conspiracy Charges.

hicago.-Charging that it has
been defrauded of about $2,000O,000
on repair work in period of four
years, the Illinois Central Railroad
Company filed suit for an account
Ing against four of its former off,
Gals in the circuit court here. The
compny's bill which alleged conspir-
acy to defraud, names the following
men:
Orlando S. Keith, former superin-
tendent of transportation; Joseph E.
Buker, former assistant superinten-
dent of machinery; William Rem
shaw, former assistant superintend-
ent of machinery; John M. Taylor,
former general storekeeper.
In connection with these charges
made against it's former officials the
Illinois Central declares in its bill
that the following concerns profted
in alleged overcharges on car repair
work in the following amounts:
The Blue Island Equipment Com
pany, $4,000; the American Car &
Equipment Company, $100,000; Os-
termann Manufacturing Company,
$3.50 600; the Memphis Car Compa-
ny, $300,U00; International Car
Company, alleged profits not stated.
n addition to the suit filed against
the four former officials the railroad
also filed suits for an accounting
against the West Pullman Car Com
pany, against the American Car &
Equipment Company. These suits
were also filed in the circuit court
here.
The filing of the suits follow
months of investigation by the COM
pany and numerous rumors of an al
legged graft ring" in the Illinois
Central railroad. Heretofore high
officials of the road have stoutly de-
MED tht there existed any trouble
of this alleged character.
The bill against the former four
department heads alleges that the
men entered into a conspiracy in
June, 1905, and that from that date
until April. 1910, the company was
defrauded of nearly 100000. The
defendants are alleged to have rep
resented to the corporation that the
company's repair work would be
done more cheaply by Independent
concerns that at the railroad shops.
When contracts were given certain
Independent concerns, tie bill charg-
es, the railroad company began pay
ing a long series of large over
charges from which certain superin-
tendents are declared to have secur-
ed thousands of dollars.

While the meat supply anc the most
Of living are under consideration we
may as we'll take notice that according
to the Department of Agriculture there
were in the country of cattle other
than mich COWS on January 1, 1900,
27,71OO54 head, but exactly one year
later there were 45,5O0,213. We can
believe a good deal of official infor-
nation when none other is avaiIa-
BILE, admits the Philadelphia Record,
but we cannot credit an increase of
1S,0OO,00O head in one year. We pre-
sumo that the figures for 1900 are the
estimate of the department, and the
figures for 1901 are the result of the
census enumeration. The farmers
are as prone, we presume, to under
estimate the amount of livestock as to
underestimate a crop of cotton or
wheat, and we doubt greatly II the
number of cattle other than milch
cows decreased 1O,Ooo,OOO from 1892 to
1899. In the case of sheep there ap-
pears to have been an increase of 49,
600 900 and of swine almost 10000, 900
in the calendar year 1900. We decline
to believe that that was a year of phe-
nomenal fertility in livestock, and in
cline rather to believe that the farm
ers had not been reporting all the cat
tie they had and which the census
disclosed. But the figures show no
such sudden jump in the number Of
mich COWS.

WHY MEN Do NOT MARRY.
Secret is False Whim of Supporting
Wife, Says Educator.

Syracuse, N. Y.-Lack of self
denial is accountable Chancellor Day
of Syracuse University believes, for
a lower marriage rate. "If you want
to know" he said why men marry
less than of old, perhaps the secret
is in the false whim OF supporting
a wife. He cannot afford to support
wife, the bachelor says. No wom-
an ought to consent to be such
wife. She ought to say: I am not
seeking or consenting to be support
ed. There will be two of us. If can
not earn as much as you, | cansaVe
more. We will plan together.
1.-The greatest woman is the Wom-
an who brings to man a home. She
is greater than the suffragette or the
female temperance lecturer.

ion in Mobile, Ala. Endorsed without
dissenting vote, beautiful design,
previously selected by their commit
tee, for monuments to be erected
throughout ne Southern States in
honor of the women of the Confed-

This design is the brainwork and
handwork of a talented young wom-

of Nashville, Tenn. It's chaste beau
ty and simple dignity, as presented
in these imperishable monuments of
bornze and marble, will appeal to

future generations, while wildly re-
calling for all time the devoted pa
triotism, the steadfast courage, the
intelligent and loyal service, and the
tender love of these noble women of
the old South, who, from first to
!. last, were the life and inspiration
of the war-cradled nation in it's mem
orable struggle with the armies and
resources of a hostile world.
The design being at last agreed
on, each Southern state is now ex-
