Why Not Yazoo CITY Ice Plant?

The Illinois Central road announces
that it has perfected plans to route
all through freights northward from
Jackson over the Y. e. NJ. V. road,
and this line will also be used in
carrying through freight traffic
southwark from Memphis, being
switched to the main line of the Illi-
nois Central at this point.
This means that hereafter the com
pany will not ice its refrigerator cars
at Canton, as formerly, and the sng-
gestion has been made to the owners
Of the ice plant at that place that
the plant be moved to Gwin, on the
Y. g. M. v. line, or branch plant
built at that point.
One of the principal objects OF the
company in switching the routings OF
through freights is to avoid the steep
grades on the main line Of the Illinois
Central between Jackson and Mem
phis. They figure that engines can
haul a greater tonnage on the Y. x
NJ. V. lines and make great deal bet
ter time.
In the event owners Of the Canton
ice plant do not make the necessary
arrangements it is probable that The
company will make a contract for the
icing of cars in Jackson.

Which was it, Providence 'or the

Mr.. and Mrs. Henry are wearing their

I'LL LUCK MEANS INCOMPETENCE

Accidents that result from reckless
ly fast driving are about the only
ones for which there has been any
thought of inficting legal penalties
upon automobiles. AS a matter Of
fact, however, not a few of the coils
sions and other disasters in which mo-
tor cars figure are due not to indul-
gence in overspeeding, or to any other
form of carelessness or d%epravity, but
simply to the constitutional and ire
mediable lack in a rather large class
OF people Of h ability to do the par
ticular sort Of quick thinking and
acting which the safe running Of an
automobile requires.
One man will drive a car for a
without once getting himself or others
into trouble, while his reighbor, equal
ly intelligent and well-intentioned, has
frequent mishaps, in spite Of all pre-
cautions, and often the lucky" one
of the two is the faster driver. 1t is
not. in reality, a matter of luck at all,
but of compentence for the perfor-
nance of a peculiar task-a task that
can be properly performed only by
those whose minds happens to be built
in a certain way. .
The possession or non-possession of
this special ability could easily be as
certained by the application of tests
familiar to the new psychology, and,
were we a truly scientific folk, an au-
tomobile license would be given to no.
body who could not demonstrate to
competent examiners that he or she
has the sort of mind needed for meet
ing the ~exigencies which every auto
mobile Journey, long or short, creates.
The unfortunate" motorist is simply
incompetent, and his series Of "ac-
cidents' should be summarily stopped
to taking away his license. Under
standing viewed, his. would not be a
disgrace, for there is no more humilia-
ton in inability to drive an automo-
bile than in inability to play the fid-
die. The only thing that everybody
can do is to run a newspaper better
than it's editor.

DIRTY SODA FOUNTAINS.

A protest against dirty methods at
saltwater fountains appears in
American Medicine, and the editor
declares that prevailing conditions
must receive more attention from
health authorities. The writer says
that complaints which often appear in
the newspapers are we'll founded.
1.-THE glasses after being used are
merely dipped in a sink of dirty water
and are presented to the next custo-
mer with the greasy lip marks of the
last one still on them,'' he writes. "In
times Of epidemics, of infections of the
throat there must be many cases con-
tracted this way-indeed, it is a dan
e at all times, not to mention the
disgusting filthiness of the custom. 1t
is so easy to install flowing water in
an apparatus which will effectively
cleanse the glasses that we are ur-
prised that all fountains are not thus
equipped anyhow. Perhaps the pat
rons of these places might drive the
offenders out of business by refusing
to buy of them and inducing their
friends to join in a boycott for decency

CULTURE y A

We are told sometimes thai this war
is a war between two cultures, or,
Gather. between the culture of one race
n the lack of culture of another,
and that either the Slav or the Teu-
ton must dominate Europe. Culture
and race have little to do With the
war. Neither is it necessary for eth
er Slav or Teuton to dominate Europe
or the world. We have had too much
of this idea of domination. We need
less of it. Teutonic nations have made
wonderful progress in all the arts of
peace. So have the Latin races,
France and Italy, especially. The Slav
races are farther behind. But, let
the military ghost be laid, and let it
be understood that there is room in
the world for the advanced nations
to exist and those less advanced to
progress, and there will be no war, and
no need for any.
This war is due. in the first in
stance, to the fact that there has been
inherited from %barbarous ages and
stimulated by the deliberate purpose
of able and interested men the theory
hat force rules and must rule the
world, and, as a result, force a been
set UP as a god to be worshipped. To
that god there have been in past
years sacrifices of treasure until peace
full, industrious men and women were
Impoverished and ground down into
the dust, and now, as the supreme
sacrifice, human lives by hundreds, by
thousands, by tens of thousands are
being offered up to this monster.
Some day, now or in the future. the
idol will be hurled from It's pedestal,
and broken into fragments, and men
will marvel to see of what material
was the thing that they have feared
and worshipped.

ILLINOIS PRIMARIES.

In the recent primary elections in
Illinois Uncle Joe Cannon was again
nominated as the republican candi-
date for congress from his district. de-
feating his adversary by a substantial
majority. Congress lost a picturesque
figure when it lost Cannon. 1t also
lost a politician of the old school,
whose practices and ideals have been
largely superseded by others. Cannon
Is old in years, hut in vigor, in activ-
ity. and in the interest which he takes
in the changing panorama Of life he
is one Of those perennials who remain
always young. His political methods
and ideals, however, are those of a
past generation. He cannot change
them, nor does he desire to do SO. He
seemed to fit we'll into a congrees of
a quarter. of a century ago. In a. con-
sress OF the present day, While he will
be active and decidedly interesting, he
will seem sadly out of place should
the fates land him there again.
Another noteworthy result is the
nomination of Roger Sullivan as the
democratic candidate for the United
States senate. Sullivan has been one
of the pet a%ntipathies of Bryan for
several years. Mr.. Bryan, like Mr..
LaFollette, has a habit Of reading men
out Of the party and casting them into
outer darkness And, as the voters of
Wisconsin have disregarded the SOL
enn instructions of LaFollette, SO the
Illinois democrats have ~disregarded
Bryan's denunciations of Sullivan as
g, corrupt politician and unworthy cit
tzen, and made him their candidate
for the senate. We take 1t that some
portion Of the result may be account
ed for on the theory that Bryan's at
tempt to dictate to the voters Of H.
linois was resented, and that the vot-
ers rather took pleasure in doing the
thing that lie charged them not to
do. It is q. little risky, sometimes. for
an outsider to NEEDLE.

the farmers Of North Dakota would,
as one man, rise in their might and
do something violent about it. Strange
to say, nothing of the sort has happen
ed. In these sections of the state
where the Better Farming men have
been at York there has been a marked
Improvement in farming methods.
There has been a corresponding i'm
provement in results. And the farm
ers in those localities do not appear
to be at all exercised by the thought
that the railroads and the banks are
to get more business. The thing that
interests them is that they, themselves,
are laying the foundation Of a better
and a lasting prosperity for themselves
and their children.
Isn't it rather pitiful business, after
all, trying to convince men that it is
we'll for them not to prosper if their
prosperity tends also to benefit others?
In spite of the agitation of cheap
demagogues who have this point Of
view, the Better Farming and kindred
movements, NJ matter by what agency
conducted, have, in addition to the
immense practical agricultural infor-
nation which they have disseminated
performed one exceedingly valuable
work in that they have brought about
a recognition on the part of progress
sive men in every field of labor trans
portation, finance, agriculture, COM
merce, Of the fact that no occupation
can exist for itself and unto itself
alone, but that the interests Of all
related to and dependent on each
other.
AS to the story that there has been
any attempt to interfere with the
management Of the Agricultural col
lege, to dictate its policy or remove
its president or professors, We have
the assurance of trustees who should
know hat there has been nothing of
the sort. We hope that the fullest
opportunity will be afforded to any,
who has any different information
to. present it in proper form.

.cording to Mr.. Hoffman, from an ar
ticle in which occurred the sentence,
A Sherman said to the women Of
Atlanta, War Is hell" 1t was this
unknown writer who saddled the
phrase on our memories, and not
Sherman. who said nothing at all to
the women of Atlanta; just as it
was some unknown misquoter in the
employ of the democratic national
committee who impressed forever on
the mind of the American people h
opinion that Grover Cleve-
land one said, public office is g.
public trust What Cleveland said
was. Public officials are the trustees
OF the people," We get most Of our
at second hand and rarely
verify them. The result is that our
sayings do not proceed, as
we imagine, from famous authors, but
from casual writer's of family memory
whose Interpretations of them give
them their permanent form.
