NoINCREAsE THIS YEAR.

Gentlemen, / am not pesslmlst
do not believe in a business mar
croaking about business conditions
1t would be decidedly an unwise policy,
however, for a business man to shut hl'
eyes to conditions.
"The railroads OF this country today
are facing a more serious situation thar
they passed through in the dark times
Of 1907 and 1908. Furthermore, | dc
not see that they will be in any better
condition in 1911"
The foregoing remarks were address
ed to the State Corporation Commission
in open session on Tuesday by former
State Senator Henry T. Wickersham
general counsel for the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad.
The purpose OF the session was
to consider the assessment OF steam
railroads in the State, and it was IN
consideration of the increasing OF the
assessment on all standard roads that
Judge Wickham appeared on the part
Of the Chesapeake and Ohio.
The commission had under consid-
Grafton the raising of the present val
uation OF $40, 900 a mile for single
track roads to 800, 900, and further
increase in the assessment OF double
track roads, which are now assessed at
800. 600 a mile.
Mr.. Wickham strongly protested
against any increase IN the assessments
and quoted from the last report OF the
commission, showing that no increase
was thought advisable last year.
Judge Rhea suggested to him that
the commission took no action at the
meeting last wear for the reason that
the roads had Just passed through a
very trying time, being naturally at
fected by the panic of 1907 and, in
Virginia. by the burden of the 2-cent
rate, which was later raised.
Mr.. Wickham took the position that
tin c increase in passenger rates from 2
TO 2 10 cents a mile had not been con-
sidered ground for an increase in as
ScSSIllenI. ne llCltdSt, iC othbNN' at
fected only one-tenth Of the earning
power of the road, the other nine-tenths
not being affected, while the increase
in assessment affects all branches OF the
roads earning powers.
The increased operating expenses
Of the railroads at the present time are
greatly in excess of the increased re-
ceipts, " stated Senator Wickham. The
increase in wages, which has gone into
effect this year, amounts to approx
matela $350,000 a year in Virginia
alone and other increases in wages are
yet to become effective. These in
creases will eventually extend to en-
ployes in all branches.
Senator Wickham then presented to
the commission a prepared statement
showing the great increase in the cost
OF all of the supplies used by railways.
The commission decided TO allow the
matter to go over until next year, and
in the meantime it will make per
sonal inspection of the properties. -

CLASSY ENTERTAINMENT.

Old things and conditions at the
Opera House have passed away and
all things have became new. This
season it is being managed by men
who appreciate the theatre going
public by giving them the best en-
tertainment obtainable. They are
being rewarded with exceptionally
large crowds. Another thing which
adds to the attraction is the excellent
behavior and general department of
those who attend each performance.
Tonight ends the engagement OF BeS

THAT LOCAL OPTION CONTEST.
The following, from the Caruthers-
vile Twice-a-Week Democrat, may be
very interesting reading to many Of
our subscribers:

suit, could not stop it, If he wished"
Evidently the Judge did not think this
suit had yet reached the stage where
it was like the fellow who caught the
wild cat-couldn't hold it and couldn't
turn it loose. Already considerable
costs have accrued. In the one item
tf 400 witnesses summoned by the
sheriff, is an expense that will amount
to quite decent pocket change. If the
suit goes on and change of venue is
asked for, if the financial breezes don't
blow through some fellows whiskers
we are going to be mistaken.

TWO KINDS OF SUBSCRIBERS.
There are two kinds of subscribers,
the kind we want and the kind we do
not want.
We want the good, prompt paying
kind the kind who want and appre-
ciate the paper; the kind who are not
continually growing and grumbling;
the kind who realize that the paper is
published for all the people, and not
exclusively for themselves; we want
the kind of subscribers who take the
paper regardless of whatever personal
feeling they may have for the editor.
The kind of subscribers we do not
want are the grumblers and GROWERS;
the kind who are always taking ex-
ceptions to what the paper says and
are always ready to say mean things
about the editor; the kind who thin k
that everything in the paper is meant
exclusively for them, and who think
that by stopping their subscription
the paper will have to quit business.
1t is relief to any editor to mark all
such names off his books, provided
they pay up.

For many years, Guy, you fellows
did not regard old Pemiscot as being

predict that all Missouri will be will

1t is strange, but true, that the more
you try to accommodate some people
and the more you try to do for them
the more sacrifices you make-the less
they appreciate your indulgence and
your kindness. 1t seems that some
people have the wrong conception OF
mans duty to man, and seem to think
that the balance of the world owes
them something that they have not
earned, and even do not merit. 1t has
been our experience in life that kind
ness and good deeds more often re-
suit, in the end, in unpleasantness.
We notice that those people who con-
duct themselves in matter-of fact
business kind of way in their daily
walk of life seldom lose friend; but
the man who does the good deeds,-
the real charitable acts-when Cir
cumstances forbid him to continue
them longer, must suffer rebuke for
that which is impossible for him to do,
and the very ones he has favored most
and who, perhaps, have shared the
best deeds and the best efforts of his
life, are first to condemn him, when
unfortunately, he is not in a position
to yield TO the demands made upon him

The Averil-Argus, which claims to
"give all the news all the time" and
gives prominence to every petty police
case and ordinary drunk, featured the
local option contest case in its court
news by ignoring it, although it is one
of the most important cases on the
docket of the Circuit court at this
time. But knowing the white winged
editor as we'll as wedo, we are inclined
to give him the benefit of the doubt,
although the evidence is against him,
and say that he did not ignore the case,
but that some careless compositor
emasculated his court report unbe-
known to him and while his back was
turned. Perish the thought that he is
so biased as to refuse to give space to
an item of news that does not agree
with his distorted personal views. In
the news columns of The Democrat
you will find the news, whether it
meets with the EDITORS approval or
not, and on the editorial page you will
find items that meets his approval,
and if you don't like them you do not
have to even read them, much less
agree with them.
