EDITORIAL

The parcels post bids fail to become
one of the greatest arguments for
the governmental ownership OF rail-
roads, that is of the main arteries or
great trunk systems of the country.
And the reason why is that the rail-
way companies are already annoying
the postal department and through
1t congress, with their insistent de-
mands for higher prices for hauling
the mails. OF course the parcels
post augments the volume of such
hauling greatly and will thus proper
tionatelY increase the haggling. The
L. & N. has already shown as is its
characteristic, a troublous dispOsi-
tion in being slow about providing
the government with housing facili-
tiles in their depot at Birmingham
for the parcels post. demanded by
the necessary handling of it to and
from their trains. Like Bryan we
sincerely believe if they can't be reg
ulated, the railroads should be taken
over by the federal government, but
also like him we are quite content to
abide time IN the trial being made at
such efforts to successfully control
them. thus bringing the creature
within the rightful dominance of the
creator.

Greene County herald., 1913-03-14

State Senator Joe Norwood of
Magnolia is being mentioned for
Lieutenant Governor in the next
race. Norwood is one of the ablest
newspaper men in the state, handing
out vigorous and sensible editorials
in season and out, and has already
made a record for himself in cham
proning and voting for progressive
legislation the short while he has
been in the legislature and will be
heard from more in the next session.
He is sometimes called the Cicero
of the Mississippi Press Association
and has unquestioned forensic ability
OF pleasing and captivating kind.
He is a thoroughly educated man be-
lug product of Vanderbilt Univer-
sity and has that unceaslng charm of
personal department that proclaims
him the allround mixer and prince of
good fellows, making friends quickly
and retaining them easily. He has
been a staunch pillar of the Varda-
man faction every since the pictur-
esque Jas. X. entered the political
game. but Joe possesses the unusual
faculty of standing by his man
through thick and thin, but yet hold
ing friends in the enemv's camp, and
still avoiding the detestable fence
straddling attitude. We hope he
will run and have no fear from him
On the hustings. He cleaned up his
opponent SO bad in the race for state
senator of his district two years ago
now, that 1t hardly looked like he
had had scramble.

ASKS DETROIT BAR TO
ASSIST IN INQUIRY
Made to Drive Former
Detroiter, Named in Thaw
Scandal, from Practice

The New York Bar association has
communicated with the Detroit Bar
association relative to the local
career OF John N. Anhut. former De-
troit attorney and state senator, who
is now In trouble In connection with
q $4,000 bride scandal growing out
OF an attempt to free Harry X. Thaw
from Matteawan asylum. Anhut
left Detroit hurriedly about three
years ago after wrecking the Anhut
Motor Car Co. Several prominent
Detroiters. including Philip Brett
meyer, who was mayor at that time.
and William M. Walker, caterer and
member of the city poor commission.
were heavily interested In the motor
car concern promoted by Anhut.
There are several papers In the
sheriff's once waiting to be served
on the former Detroit attorney IL he
ever turns up In Detroit.
A telegram received by the Detroit
Bar association, Friday, states that
a Mr.. Chrystie, attorney of the griev-
ance committee on the New York
Bar association, will be In Detroit
Monday to look up Anhut's local his
tory. The officers OF the local as
ISOLATION are asked to cooperate
with Mr.. Chrystie In delving into the
complicated affairs Of the former De-
troit attorney. The telegram IL
signed by Howard Townsend, chair
man Of the grievance committee Of
the New York Bar association, 10.
"A West Forty fourth-st.
Anhut was never investigated for
disbarment proceedings by the local
bar association for the reason that
he left town before the association
had a chance to act. but Mr.. Chrys-
tie will be turned over to several
Detroiters who have cause to refnem-
Der John Anhut and he will likely
gather enough material to interest
the New York association.
Gov. Sulzer put 1t up to the New
York Bar association to disbar An
hut, who figured as the attorney for
Thaw In the scandal which forced the
resignation of DR.. j. Russell, super
intendent Of the Matteawan asylum.
The disbarment proceedings will be
brought against Anhut on the ground
that II he did not actually give Rus
sell bribe money. he acted as stake
holder" in a campaign to corrupt the
official. se
