The Commission which is at the
head of the municipal affairs Of Co.
aumbia has wisely refused to enter into
the pawn broker business and adorn
the City Hall with the three brass
balls, the sign of the pawn shop. The
tendency Of these times and this
generation savors too m ,ch of
nonarchal and monopolistic form of
government, rather than the simple
principles of the republican form Of
government handed down to US by the
Fathers as a glorious and priceless
heritage. If the Commission of Co.
lumbia is permitted to invade the
rights of the individual and become 4
competitor in his private business.
there is nothing to prevent it from en-
croaching further upon the rights Of
the citizen, by going into the dry
goods or the grocery, or, for that mat
ter, any other line of business. The
precedent has been established-the
rule adopted, and, in the language of 8
railroad magnate, "the people be
,d-n.'' 1t is only one by one that the
rights of the people are taken from
them. First sole dealer in an article
which has been outlawned as grave
menace to public and private morals:
next Government by Commission;
then a proposed pawn broker, and
what next? Well might. we pause and
ssk this question. Let the seriously
inclined concerning these matters an
swer the question. THE price of lib
erty,' says some one, ''is eternal Wig
llanc7," and it behooves Us as individ-
uals and as citizens of common coun-
try to resist any invasion upon cur
rights, no matter how insignificant
it may appear, with every instru-
.nent of protection vouchsafed US by
the Constitution of cur country.

well, as does the president elect

stance, two fun loving lawyers OF

Monday hen the Board of Super
visors met, the document was pre-
sented and the clerk was requested
to read it. Many of the signers
were present and were greatly hor-
rlfied to fipd that they had signed
a petition, charging the Board with
every unlawful act on earth. and
demanding the immediate resigna.
tion of each one Of them. The

lawyers that they just, wanted to
show how easy it was to get sign

OF the Antitrust laws of Mississippi:
The railroad companies regret that
the attorney general of Mississippi is
of the opinion that the facts in this
matter justify the bringing of this
suit. The officers of the several rail-
roads involved are confident that no
law of the State of Mississippi has
been violated by these railroad compa-
nies, = especially is this true inasmuch
as the consummation of the transaction. |

the consent of, in the manner prescribed
and on conditions stipulated by the t
