DOOR OF HOPE FOR THE RAILROAD.


All of the doors of hope are not
closed all the time to the railroads
The Supreme Courts decision in
the Shreveport rate case was a
great gain for them, in the princi-
pie of supremacy of Federal over
State authority, in rate making.
Another of scarcely less moment
was the reversal by the supreme
court of the interstate commerce
commission order lowering freight
rates on Florida citrus fruit. In
this the court said that while the
interstate commerce commission
was charged with the duty Of as
certaining the facts in any given
case, the court was not precluded
from looking into the record to as
certain whether the facts disclosed
sufficient warrant for large rates.
And it held that there was nothing
disclosed in the record to justify
the order made by the commission,
which was confiscatory and void.
This ruling like that 10 the Shreve-
port case, appeals to the sense of
reason and rigth -Vicksburg Her

College Work in Schools.

In view Of the marked tendency
toward the graduation of students
from colleges and universities at
an earlier age than has hitherto
customariIy obtained. the announce
ment by Mrs. Ella Flagg Young,
superintendent of the Chicago pub
lie schools, that two years of col
lege work will be added to the
curriculum at the Nicholas Sem
High School is interesting. Mrs.
Young is of the opinion that young
people should be introduced to col
lege and university culture at an
earlier age and thus she is in har-
mony with many other authorities
in the educational world. 1t will
be recalled that President Lowell
of Harvard University, expressed
the same opinion in a recent speech
in this city. The two years of col
Iege work. if given in the high
school, would do much to provide
continuity between secondary ard
the higher education. There would
be no chasm to leap and one result
would certainly be the attainment
of university training by many
who would not COW attempt it.
Students would be in true college
work before they realized it and
tempted into going just a little
further" to the coveted degree.
Moreover, such an innovation. if
generally adopted, would make it
possible for many who cannot afford
the expense of leaving home to take
the advanced work Ia their home
cities Of course this advantage
is not SO marked in Chicago. where
two great universities are avail
able, but it would be appreciated
by students residing in cities where
higher institutions of learning are
lacking. Mrs. Young's plan calls
for the introduction of the idea in
the Nicholas Sem High School next
year, and, il found successful
there. its extension to other parts
of the city. Parents and educators
alike will follow the experiment
with the keenest attention. Chi

GOV. STILL TURNING

Editors Brookhaven Leader:-It

day of January. 1912. to-wit: Car

A.. D. Smith. so,-
Most of the above are old offend
ers and were indicted and convict
ed only after very strenuous efforts
on the part of the court officerey
and at very great cost to the tax
payers of this county. The latest
to be pardoned. but by no means
the latest offender is the notorious
blind tiger and law breaker, "A.
d. Smith.
She was pardoned last Saturday
by the Governor without even con-
sulting any of the officials of the
county or any one else so far as the
writer is able to find out. except
perhaps her lawyer. This party
was convicted in her absence, a
forfeiture being taken on her bond,
sentenced to pay a fine Of $500 and
80 days IN Jail. She was arrested
some time later and placed on the
farm. After having served about
three months she escaped from the
farm, not being heard of until a
few days ago when Sheriff Mont
gomery was notified that she was
arrested in Phillip, Miss. She
was returned to the county Jail on
Monday the 22nd day of June, and
the Governor issued to her on last
Saturday full pardon. This, too,
in the face of the fact that she has
seven other indictments pending
against her for retailing and one
for escaping from the county farm.
1t is hard to understand the ac-
tiun of the Governor in thus issu-
ing pardons by the wholesale to
each and every tiger convicted by
our courts and setting at naught
the effort of the county officials in
suppressing the infamous sale of
whisky.
His action is hardly consistent
when it is shown that he has in the
past and is now using every effort
to suppress what he calls ''oFen
saloons in Warren county, Per-
haps his idea is that the tiger
should be allowed to pursue his
trade but that the open saloon
should not exist. This must be
very discouragIng to the District
and County Attorneys and other
county officers as we'll as other law
abiding citizens of our county.
What say you prohibitionists? Are
you going to sit idly by and see
our prohibition laws set at naught
by the governor of our State?

COMMERCIAL BANK
STOCKHOLDERS MEET
------
II Leaks Out that Petitions Are Co.
Ing to be Circulated Among
DepOsitOrs.

1 =
As The Leader goes to press 8
rumor is gaining credence that at
meetings held this week by dIrec.
tors and stockholders of the defunct
Commercial Bank it WIS decided
to issue petitions by mail and in
person to depositors asking that
the bank commissioners and law.
yers now representing the deposi.
tors 10 the administration of the
banks affairs be removed, with a
view to .'lessening the expense.
ln other words the depositors,
who did not receive at the hands Of
the Chancellor the order sought in
the removal Of the present officers
at the Bank and the placing of
{ helr own representatives,
have now again to contend
with the opposition at the Bank
they have met in every instance
when they have laid claim to their
lawful rights and privileges. They
realize that after six months since
the Bank failed, time and money
are both continuing to be consumed
without satisfactory settlement,
while the men who are partly re-
sponsible for their losses are still
in supreme control, and that they
must now be sought to be ser
aside in what they have gained
through patient deliberation and
the wisest acticn they could con-
ceive.
The depositors should not forget
that they are the first and supreme
obligation of the failed Bank; a
properly managed Bank can never
fail with loss to its depositors. The
depositors have recourse where the
reverse is true.
The bank commissioners will, no
doubt, make good in their investi-
cations every cent that is expended
for their service; but if they do not
the people will know the reason
why, in the satisfaction of the rec
ords made public by them.
The depositors have lost in the
Bank so far and their affairs have
been handled up to this time by
the men exclusively, who had
hand in that loss.
VIII the petition ask with all
due respect for the peoples opin-
ion, that a representative from
them be retainedNat the desks? We
could wish that this had been done
at sae beginning. It would have
saved every hard step since to both.
the bank and its deposItors.
The Leader does not presume to
dictate to the people or the Bank:
but we have learned, through ex-
perience. that it is always we'll to
have at least a hand in the manage
ment of ones own business. The
Bank now belongs to the people.
They should not sign away their
rights and "seil their blrthright
for a mess of pottage."

To The Semi Weekly Leader:
The following is a correspondence
that appeared in The Chicago Trib-
une in its issue of June Ia:
"SECTIONALlSM IN WASH
INGTON."
The Tribune regrets that Sec
tional lines have been drawn in
Washington. 1t regrets that they
have been drawn anew after SO
much fothe ancient bitterness has
passed away.
1t regrets chiefly that they are
drawn in deeds more than in
words.
1t regrets that the adminstra-
tion has made itself sectional ad-
ministration and continues to re-
iterate it is a sectional admInistra-
tion.
The tariff as passed is a Sec
tional tariff.
The banking law is sectional
banking law, and the execution of
the banking law has been sectional.
The river atnd harboI bill now
pending in congress isNa sectional
river and harbor bill.
These facts have been under
stood as they develop. They have
not raised much uproar because the
country has realized that its econ
omic legislature has always been
sectional.
During the year that the con-
troll of the government lay east of
the Alleghenies that section of
the country was favored of Con-
gress, incidentally. with the aids of
Illinois congressman. Now that
the control of the government lies
south of the Potomac legislation is
drawn to benefit that section. and
again we find certain Illinois con-
gressmen aiding and abetting."
Economically, the Middle West
is no worse off under southern
domination than it was under east
ern domination. But our pulse
quickens and our color rises when
we fnd the federal administration
discriminating against the soldiers
who saved the Union.
President Wilson did not will
ingly address them at Arlington,
and when he addressed them it was
not to pay tribute to their patriot
ism but to lay wreath on his own
wounded feelings.
The discharge of veterans from
the post Office might have been
condoned on the grounds of their
growing infirmities were it not
that the positions were given to
political workers without quali6ca-
tions for Office or claims for nation
al gratitude.
The party in power has raised
the sectional issue by its conduct
and cannot settle it BY vituperation
on the floor of the Senate ;,
1t will be a surprise to southern
men to read the recent utterance
of the Chicago Tribune.

VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY.

The subsidizing of great de-
nominational school, on condition
that it put aside its church sllegi.
ance, has brought about a great
deal of discussion concerning Van
derbilt University. The view OF
the Chattanooga News on this SUBJ
ject will be found interesting:
mo doubt Vanderbilt Universi-
ty has secured some legal advan-
tage by declaring the general con-
ference of the Methodist church
has severed relations with the
university, but whether it has OBJ
tanned moral advantage is doubt
full. Those who know history of
the institution are we'll cognizant
of the fact that Comodore Wander
bilt gave the money for its estab-
lishment so that 1t should be a
great church school, under the d.
rection of one of the bishops of the
church who was his personal friend
1t is not question, therefore as
to whether or not a denominatoinal
school is better than an undenomi-
national school. The trend of ed
ucation in this country is rather
against the denominational school,
but the question is what was the
purpose of the establishment of
Vanderbilt university and does it
serve the purpose when it separates
itself entirely from the church, Is
1t true to the principles represent
ed in its foundation? AS to the
effect of this enforcement on the
Institution, we are inclined to the
belief that the board of trust is
short sighted. Southern MethodIsm,
with its thousands of ministers and
millions of laymen, undoubtedly
will resent the course of the univer-
sity. The goodwill of this great
body of earnest people, perhaps,
is underestimated by the present
management of Vanderbilt. 1t can
not be measured in dollars and
cents. No Carnegie foundation
can be compared to it.
Public confidence in the uniyer-
sity and its future growth will de-
pend more than anything else on
whether or not it is considered true
to its trust. All the circumstances
of the schism will be looked into.
The split between the church and
the school came about over the
proposition of a muIti-millionaire
to endow the university, provided
it be divested of church control.
There is a growing sentiment in
the south that southern institutions
are all the better off if they main
tain their independence of the
great interests which are willing to
subsidize education. aud, whatever
are the merits of the dispute be-
tween the church and the school
lover this school over this proposed
endowment, the church, in the
broader sense, was on the right
side. The south is able to support
its own schools, and will do SO lib
orally as the need exists. In fact,
it is not the richest schools which
do the most good for education.
1t is those which are most conse-
Grated to the spirit of education.
What will be the future OF
Vanderbilt will now be interesting
to note. The intentions Of its
founders undoubtedly have been
completely defeated. The manage.
ment of the school will. of course,
contend that it has at last reached
a position Of absolute independ.
ence. But is it so? Has it sold
its birthriGht for mess Of pot
tage?"
