Another Wise Counselor

The addresses of President Elliott as a
whole have had great influence in the
northwest And the two or three which he
has made since he became the exc ,utive
head of the New Haven railroad system
made it clear that he has not lost the
nigh art of friendly appeal or forgotten
the profound principle Of cooperation
which, In his view, lies at the bottom OF
advantageous relations betw sen the peop-
ple and the railroad companies.
The addresses recently delivered by
Daniel willard president of the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad, have all con-
tanned a note which is in perfect har-
many with that so conspicuous In the ad-
dresses of President Elliott. These ad-
dresses have been widely read and the
evidence is plentiful that they have IN
f1,1enced many persons In the opinion that
the railroad companies cannot be pros
perous unless the people are, nor can
great and permanent prosperity be the
fortune of the people unless it is shared
in and to some extent stimulated by the
railroad companies.
For the past year or two President VIII
liam C. Brown of the New York Central
railroad company and of other railroad
CORPORATIONS which make up the Wander
bilt system has not spoken to the pubic.
But three or four years ago President
Brown delivered several addresses, all OF
which .breathed the spirit of cooperation,
and some of which expounded with Won
derful clarity what the. true cooperative
relations between the railroads and the
people must necessarily be II we are to
have a common prosperity.
In the old days railway executives We're
committed to the policy of taciturnity. To
that policy can be traced much Of the
antagonism Of the people to the rail-
roads. There were. of course, great blights
upon railroad management due to the
greed of some of those who had control
of them The general opinion, however,
Is that those ancient methods no longer

jackson. Miss, November 10.--(Special.)
With a view to according hearty well
come and neighborly reception to the
100 or more New Orleans business men
who are to earrive here Tuesday at 1913,
the Jackson Board of Trade has named
committee of 100 to look after them.
The local committee viii meet at the
Board of Trade rooms half hour before
the arrival of the New Orleans visitors,
forrY in line and march to the depot.
The visitors will be escorted to the
Board of Trade rooms, where something
in the way of refreshments will be
served, a few impromptu speeches re-
cited, and the crowd get acquainted.
Later the New Orleans men will be taken
over the capital city in autos, so that
they may see for themselves just what
Jackson has in the way of big manufac-
turing plants, handsome residences,
churches, colleges, jails, coruthouses, old
ladies' homes and lunatic asylums-the
latter being the show place of the town,
and one to which all Mississippians point
with a great deal of pride, as here nearly
1000 unfortunates are taken care of and
made as comfortable as possible during
their last days.
In the event time permits the visitors
will be shown through the state capitol,
a $1,250,O00 investment that was erected
without the breath of suspicion of graft,
and which is more than worth the money
paid for it. A visit to the hall of fame
is well worth while, as here the visitor is
shown nlxenesSes of every governor the
state has ever had, its senator's and
others who have distinguished themselves
and lent lustre to the name of the state
during the past century and more. Poin-
dexter, Claiborne Prentiss, Brown,
Shakey, Davis, Lamar, George, Walthall
and other illustrious sons of Mississippi
will answer to the roll call--as will many
others of greater or lesser note.
The New Orleans men will not be in
Jackson long and will be kept on the "go'
from the time of their arrival to their de-
parture.

"PENNY WISE AND POUND
FOOLISH"

Louisiana Democrat
There can be no greater mistake
that business man can make than
to be mean in business. Everybody
has heard the proverb of penny wise
and pound foolish. A liberal expendi-
ture in the way of business is always
sure to be capital investment. There
are people in the world who are short
sighted enough to believe that their In.
terest can be best promoted by grasp
ing and clinging to all they can get
and never letting a cent slip through
their fingers.
AS a general thing it will be found,
other things being equal, that he who
is most liberal Is most successful In
business. OF course we do not mean
1t to be inferred that man should be
prodigal in his expenditures; but that
he should show his customers, If he
is trader, or those whom he may be
doing any kind of business with that
in all his business transactions, az well
as social relation, he acknowledges
the everlasting fact that there can be
no permanent prosperity or good feel
ing in community where benefits are
mot reciprocal.

H. J. LEAkE MISSING;
FOUL PLAY FEARED

Much uneasiness exists in the minds
of his relatives over the unexplained
disappearance Of Harry J. Leake, only
son of Mrs. Elrie Robinson of this
paper. Mr.. Leake has been engaged
as editor and manager of the New
Laurel Publishing Co., publishers of
the Chronicle at Laurel, Miss, for the
past several months.
On Oct. 22nd queries reached here
asking for knowledge Of Mr.. Leake's
whereabouts. 1t was ascertained that
he had left Laurel on the previous
Thursday to make two-day business
trip to New Orleans. Relatives imme.
diately went to New Orleans and insti-
tuted search. 1t was found that he
had registered at a hotel on the 18th.
His baggage was still in his room,
though 1t was evident that the room
had not then been occupied for sever
al days. The last seen or heard of
him was on Saturday, Oct. 18th, when
he attended football game in New
Orleans in company with a friend. He
told this friend that he expected to re.
turn to Laurel that night.
Detectives were placed on the case
over week ago, but so far have been
unable to locate the missing man.
Mrs. Robinson has been in Laurel
attending to his business affairs. this
week, and Mr.. Robinson left Friday
afternoon for that place.
There is no reason to believe that
Mr.. Leake has disappeared from
choice, as his business and domestic
relations have been pleasant, and IL
is feared that he has met with foul
play.
