THE President of the United States

sion, completely surrounded by newspa-
per reporters. He doesn't get his sal
arv for living in the White House, but
1t is said to be worth the money.
The President usually rises to his
high office from obscurity, and goes
back there promptly as soon as his
term is over. Only native born Ameri-
cans can be President. This discourages
so that they rarely go into
politics. They go into business in
stead, and become alderman.
1t is the duty of the President to veto
all bills passed by the opposition. to see
that the Cabinet chairs are freshly filed
each morning, and to eat whatever is
set before him, no matter how badly the
banquet committee may have fallen

A DECREASE IN
R. R. REVENUES
Not Considered A Sign OF Hard Times
Smallest Decrease That OF
N. o. G. N. E.

Jackson, Miss, May 4.-Three quar-
terly reports were filed by three Mis-
sissippi railroads this morning in the
office of the Railroad Commission,
and, strange to say, all three reports
showed decrease over the net reve-
unes for the corresponding quarter in
1910. This is not taken as criterion
of hard times, however, by local bust
ness men, as the general impression
is that in all lines of business there
has been a substantial increase in
profit.
The three roads which appear to
have experienced a slight reversal Of
progress are the A. and V Queen and
Crescent), the New Orleans and North
Eastern and the Mississippi Central.
The A. and v. report shows operat-
ing expenses of $64S,17S.63, with an
operating revenue Of $S93,964.10, max
ing a net operating revenue for the
quarter of $245,7s2,47, which COM
pared with the 1910 report for the
corresponding quarter shows a de-
crease of $59,3S3.OO on a net operating
revenue in that year of 1905, 1887.
The New Orleans and North East
ern decrease was not as heavy, but
considering the mileage of the two
roads, as enough to cause a slight
feeling of pessimism among the rail
officials. The decrease for the quar-
ter over the 1910 report was $24,-
O16.62 on a net operating revenue OF
$95,015.18, CLEANED from a revenue of
$431, 403.44 and an operating expense
of $3S6,3SS.26.
The Mississippi Central line, con-
trolling only S3 miles of road in the
state, showed a decrease of $1,961.55.
The total operating expenses of this
road were $212,S95.25 and the reve-
nues $13S, 1871, showing net rev
enue of $74,556.14. This net revenue
last year amounted to $75,517.69.

Grams carried over from last season,
or recruited at the beginning of the
year.
It is the concensus of opinion among
baseball fans that the quality of ball
being played in the Cotton States
League this year is considerably bet
ter than that of last year. This can
be attributed to several causes, chief
among them being the more liberal
salary limit.
The season has been in progress
nearly a month, and more than ninety
per cent of the scheduled games have
been played, an exceptionally good rec
ord in view of the fact that spring
rains usually cause the postponement
of many games.
Up to the present time the Vicks-
burg and Hattiesburg teams have
shown more class than the other four
organizations. Meridian is also in
fine shape, and the team has been
considerably strengthened during the
past few days.
