 The state railroad commission is in rer- ular session this week. The most impor- tant matter to be taken up is the pro- posed classification of freights on the several railroads of the state. The classi- fication now in force is known as the Mississippi Classification No. 25" and has been in Vogue since 1898. Of course, there have been some changes and addi- tions, but it is practically as adopted IA years ago The proposition now is to adopt the Southern Classification No. 3s." with notifications to fit commodi- ties in which Mississippi happens to be specially interested. The task is big one. but President Webb has been strug- gling with it during vacation, and his lists will no doubt accelerate the work.

 To be sure such people as Neitsche and Bernard Shaw say some pretty discour- aging things about the futility of life, and neither were Solomon and Jeremiah before them any too great apostles of joyfulness, but there were men in the biblical days who died praising the Lord for the goodness of the earth, just as there are people now who are fatuous enough to believe that this is the best of all possible worlds.

When the Washington Star gets dis gusted with it's own blatant inconsis- tencies in trying to hold up the Presi- dent and his tariff follies, it tightens it's treble catgut and saws away on the old Underwood Bryan quarrel. The Star is not content merely to straddle every fence that gets in it's way, but it literally plats it's legs through all the rails. It is amusing to see how soft the Star plays on the big split in the republican party. while it tries to drown out all nor nal conversation with a senseless tattoo about an imaginary disagreement in the democratic party.

ance as to the possibilities of pair of spectacles acting as a perfectly good chaperon, she suggested that nothing was more desirable in that capacity than a certain kind of hat.
 That opened up a delicious field for di- gresAon.
 Of course, there are hats and hats. Some of the smarest summer freaks that were earlier in the season marked at 50 per, have taken an aeroplanic tumble to $5, but these are not the "chaperon' type.
 And now the question comes up, if one started out to find hat>that would ina tronize" her. or even "chaperon" her, where in the galaxy of saucy chapeauS would she find one with the dignity to fulfil the requirements?
 Echo answers--where?

 Every tendency, therefore, is that this institution will have a very great fall business, and we trust the tendency is widespread. Birmingham in- dustries and civic expenditures will keep a great deal of money in circulation. There is no need for any class to button up their pockets or make banks of their stockings. There is money-and there is money coming-and that is a condi- tion that warrants sensibly free spending.

was talk of holding there the inter-

place near New York City. Then. all
of a sudden, the government experts
seemed to experience a change Ct
heart. They went off In search Of
more ideal aerdromes. particularly in
the South, and loosed their captive
war birds at various points-notably
in the vicinity Of the great army mo-
bilization camp in Texas. Now after
this prospecting they have returned
to their first love and have establish
ed at College Park the. permanent and
principal governmental aviation field

less continuously the attention Of peo-

Nevertheless there Is reason to hope
that this governmental instruction OF

basis for the hope Is found in the fact
that Uncle Sam has at last provided
himself with satisfactory aviation
