RAILROADS AND PEOPLE.

It s being brought home the people of this country that they directly concexned in the question of the Governments attitude toward the railroads The tion is menacng to the Nations prosperity that the individual pocketbook is feeling the strain.
 Suppose the railroads do not need the five per cent increase in they Just suppose they get along without it and pay dividends Suppose the in would be used by most of them only in better trackage in equipment, more and safer ser. vice, without which they get along well enough if willing to take chances
 We have always found that servants. whatever their duties. fulfill them better fuller value and give far satisfactory quid pro when they feel they fairly remunerated when they have the right tools when they feel their service is appreciated and the sole effort to discover the least which they live and give them no more.
 Railroads are not much different from other folks. they are folks though disguised as corporations Of in the past. they have abused the privilege of acquiring surplus they have capitalized their bank ac counts; some ordinary men also do this.
 But why constantly hold them responsible for their past? We do not do this with criminals Some of them have been criminal. but they have kept out of jail quite successfully Why not give them another chance and not keep them in perpetual straight jacket?
 It is not making surplus that has constituted their guilt surplus merely extra charge for
 service rendered if this charge has been fairly reasonable and the surplus returned in better facilities for future service, then guilt becomes virtue. It is capitazlng the surplus and making it for a still greater overcharge than confirms the guilt
 But railroads not doing this It has become unhealthy pastime It is liable to lead the poverty if jail Then too, if congress does make this impossible it is the peoples fault surely the interstate commission is doing it's part
 So why keep the railroads the ragged edge? A of people what this means though other people think they have enough This much is beyond question: if this increase granted will change the whole face Of business conditions. Anxiety will pass; confidence will return; the grouch will give way smiles. and the sedate will tango.
 For when all is said and done. may keep the rail up against the wall but long they there we will all be there also, scratching backs the same itch eradicator, and this is hard clothes.

FL pASO'S MAYOR

FL PASO, Tex, April 27.-WheL seen yesterday afternoon Mayor Kelly said mat the report from the polie" department showed tn, town tO Dc in it's normal condition. Things were as quiet in "Chihuahuita" as in any other part of the town. and that there was nothing to indicate the slightest inclination on the part of our Mexi- can population to create aLy disturb ance of any kind or to participate ID any demonstrations, either for or against Mexican federal or constitu- tionalist forces, and, SO far as The United States was concerned, all the indications were of entire loyalty to this government.
 have been particularly gratifying to me in view of the fact that some Of the American citizens who should be better informed have apparently given currency to the story that ir the event of our troops having to so into Mexico or of any act of hostl'ity on the part of any Mexicans toward the United States or its authority, all Mexicans would be compelled to leave Fl Paso and go to Juarez.
 "Of course nothing is more ground less, and l might say, more foolish, than this. Tho American citizens of Spanish birth have every right here that the Americans have and we have every reason to believe they will meet the obligations resting on good citi' zens of supporting the government and preserving peace and quiet and that these obligations will be just as faithfully met and discharged by them.
 As far as the city of Fl Paso IS concerned. we are going to deal with American and Mexican, with citizen and with alien, just alike. Those who obey our laws and keep the peace are going to be protected by every means within the power Of the public offi- clals. aud those u-lo do not obey the

 Report on Sewer Repairs
 Repairs fin Sewer Tunnel-Naco Road. In taking up the work where the Copper Queen stopped we low. cred the grade of the main line at lower end of this tunnel 8 feet SO as to pick up the natural grade ir the tunnel n feet from the end. This change of grade was made necessary by the settling of the ground. Fifty feet of 12 in. vltrihed pipe was used on solid ground. this pipe being fur nished by the Copper Queen Co Nine 'ty feet of heavy 12 in. iron pipe was laid across rhe bad ground which will avoid most of the trouble due to breakage of the line. The in. line from Chihuahua Hill was changed from vitriied pipe to the iron pipe and iron fittings for number of feet. to make the line safer. All the work where the, changes have been made and the work below the tunnel is in excellent shape. We have fin. ished the repairs to the pipe in the tunnel and are now repa ring the tun. nel itself. damage being caused by moving ground.

RELATIVES.

Osyka, Miss, July 30.-Kissing his
three-year-old son good-by, Clinton

er's farm just beyond McComb City
and was graduated from the Mississip-
pi College. He taught school until
about ten years ago, when he moved
to Osyka and engaged in the practice
of law. Eight years ago Mr.. Thompson
was elected mayor and has continuous
ly succeeded himself. Last year he
filled the position of principal in the
Osyka High School, Recently he was
rendered the principalship of the Nc
Comb City High School.
About a month ago Mr. Thompson
suffered a nervous collapse as a result
OF overwork and went to resort, from
which he returned a few days ago.
