Editorial

We can not understand why the
elements in Hopkins County
supporting Mr., Gibson, should
feel that that county should con-
troll the district. We have al
ways felt that, the district being
one, the several counties compoS-
ing it should stand united and in
the selection of the Judge and at
torney should endeavor to select
the best, without regard TO loca.
ton. We believe this feeling has
prevailed over the three counties
in the district. Indeed. on ac
count of this feeling, and, in or
der TO prevent strife between
the counties as to which shoull
control, and recognizing that 70
tation, is one of the cardina
principles of democracy, the De
mocrats of Livingston and Crit
tenden legislative district have
for many years, followed tn
rule that the candidate shoul,
come from one county one tern
and from the other county tn
next term. Likewise the coun
ties of Caldwell, Webster an
Crittenden, composing this Sena
torial district, have followed tn
sameplan, Recognizing thi
same principle Hon. John |
Grayott, of Livingston County
who had served several terms a

April 8, Whlch was llnally agreed
to by Mr.. Gibson.
In the meantime quite a num-
ber of democrats over the coun-
ty. believing that this primary
would be detrimental to the int
crest of the party and might be
misunderstood elsewhere in the
district, have been hoping that
some way could be hit upon by
which this could be avoided and
only one candidate make the race
from Hopkins county.
And when the mutual friends
of the two gentlemen began con-
| ferences about Arranging details
for the agreed primary April 8,
the more they met and talked
the more evident it became that
some sacrifice of personal ambi-
ton should be made in the inter-
esty Of party harmony and the
personal friendship that existed
between the two candidates and
their friends.
And out of this came the decision
Of Mr.. Cox to withdraw in the
interest OF harmony, this decis-
ion no doubt being reached large
~ because of the fact, Mr. Gibson
had announced a few weeks pre-.
vious to himself, and he let this
point weigh in Mr.. Gibson's fav.
or.
There is no question that there
would have been a very strenu'
Gus contest if this matter had
gone on TO April 3. Both are

MASONIC FRATER.
NITY'S Big Dinner
To A Number Of Their Friends In
The Masonic Hall on Tuesday
Evening, December 18th.

John w. Blue Jr. was surely at
his best Tuesday evening Dec.
18th. 1914. The bright rollick-
ing humor that just rolled off his
lips was coupled with the tender
pathetic, descriptive stories of
life that brought the great, the
really magnificent audience to
an exultant, enthusiastic status
and the great dining hallresound-
ed again and yet again with ap-
plause and Cheers. sMr, Blue
had an audience one to he proud
of, the audience in turn was pre-
sided over, by a Toastmaster who
is without a peer and one to
whom it is always a pleasure to
honor. The Masonic orchestra
| furnished the music.
The occasion was a dinner ten
dered by Masonic Fraternity of
Marion to their friends who are
outside the masonic pale. In
every appointment it was a per-
feet, most complete banquet.
Babb's Cafe was entrusted with
carrying out every detail of prep
aration and service. A superb
dinner planned wisely and carri-
ed out in perfect form.
Judge Kevil said grace, asking
in the name of nearly one hum

WHAT RAILROADS DO
WITH THEIR INCOME
The Largest Employers of La
Dor, Buyers of Steel, Coal,
Taxpayers in the Country.

In the beginning of the pres
ent article on the railroad situa-
ton it is pertinent to remind the
reader that the transportation
companies and the publice face
each other under radically chan
ed conditions today from those
which prevailed a few years ago.
On the one hand, the Inter-S State
Commerce Commission and the
different states, either through
their Public Service Commits
|sions or Legislature say what
rates the railroads shall charge
for service. On the other hand
the proposal made in the pres
ent Congress that the Inter
State Commerce Commission be
empowered to pass upon all new
railroad securities before they
can be placed upon the market
and like powers having already
been conferred within the states
upon the different Public Ser
vice Commissions, means that
the last vestige of control over
their finances will have been
taken away from the railroads,
and that henceforth their fate
lies absolutely in the hallow OF
the peoples hands.
Furthermore, it must be sale
for the stockholders and the
managers of the roads that they
have no protest to offer against
this stringent governmental reg
ulation. The only plea they
make is that the value of theil
securities be not destroyed anC
that they be permitted to re
ceive living rates so they ma.
continue to render efficient an,
adequate service to the people
The proposal to submit all ney
securities to official investiga
ton before they are placed up
on the market, if fairly inter
preted and exercised, will hav
the approval Of nine out Of tel
railroad officials throughou
the Country. In view of thes
changed conditions therefor
and the fact that the peopI
have taken over the entire con
troll and regulation Of the raj
roads, why should they not b
as fair to them as they are t
all other great National indus
tries? That they will be, ono
they come to understand tn
true situation, is the confiden
