The above article is not what 1t should

means fair and it's line Oh conduct of

every turn in handling the railroad in

men, as rule employed by railroads,
are men who have worked themselves
upto positions by long years of hard
work and toll, making them efficient
through the many years of experience.
There is one thing that peopls can put
in their pipes and smoke and that is,
rascals will not employ raseaIs to repre-
sent them and as sure as such an en-
plove proves to be rascal, out he goes.
So one can rest assured, admitting the
preprosteousness, that every stockhold :

best pair of old socks, that none but
able, honest and experienced gentlemen
are employed to look after the business

The Poor Illinois Central Rail

a tQOTOuSu Ii oho
campaign has been made during
the past two years by the Illinois
Central and the Yazoo and Miss
issippl Valley Railroads against
what they denominate the "dam-
age suit evil in Mississippi. %
Literature has been scattered
broadcast over the state citing
instances where attempts have
been made by individuals to un-
Justly obtain damages that have
not actually been sustained, and
in their pamphlet, serious COM
plants are made of the abuse
and mlstreatment that they have
received at the hands of the
courts and juries of the state.
These statements are one SID
ed. and are made and circulated
for the purpose of molding pub
lie sympathy and sentiment In
favor of the two railroads through
the agencies of which the lltera-
ture is issued and circulated.
The average citizen to whom
this literature is addressed will
give little heed TO the matters
set out IN these pamphlets. and
most all of the people who haye
confidence in the fairness and
integrity of our courts and Juries
are content that law suits, ~heuh-
er filed against the Illinois Gen.
traI, or any other corporation or
individual, should be tried in the
regular Way, and not upon the
ex parte statements and COM
plainLs contained in the litera
ture published and issued by the
l. G.. Railroad.
If the campaign made by the
Illinois Central had been pursued,
as originally begun, little harm
might result to the Individual
citizen who may have just cause
of complaint against this corpor
alton, but IN recent months the
sympathy of some of the leading
people In the state has been eu-
listed in benalf of the railroad.
and the editorial columns OF these
papers have been brimful Of in.
stances where the Illinois Cen
trail and the Yazoo & Mississippi
Valley Railroads have been abps-
ed and mistreated by certain IN
divlduals seeking damages for
alleged injuries that it was claim
ed they sustained through the
negligence and carelessness of
the railroad employees.
We doubt not that there are
some wicked and dishonest peo-
pie who will conspire to deceive
the courts by propounding ficti
tiOus and fraudulent claims not
alone against railroads, but
against individuals, as well. This
has been done from the begin
ming of time and 1t will continue
on unto eternity.
In some few instances, justice
may miscarrY, and these disrepu-
table litigants May be success
full. The illinois Central and ali
other persons conducting busi-
ness enterprises may expect to
contend with designing. dishon.
nest people as long as they oper-
ate their lines of railroad, wheth-
er 1t is in Mississippi, or in any
other state IN the Union; and this
company like all others, must de-
pend upon the ability of their
sklllful claim agents and their
learned attorneys to meet this
class of suits as they come. and
with the assistance of the courts

is much better, certainly more
regular, just and proper. than
the course 1t is now conducting,
and has been conducting for the
past several years.
There can be but one purpose,
in the minds of the railroad Of
flcials when they mail out their
pamphlets to each juror who has
been drawn to serve during a reg
ular term of court, and that pur-
pose is to prejudice and infiame
the minds Of the juries against
all damage suits against railroads
whether the claims are jusb or
unjust.
1t would be far better and
much more creditable to the Hi
nois Central Railroad and it's
competing protege, that it has
gathered up In opposition to law,
if the courts are permitted to try
all law suits In the old and regu-
way, without. in any way at
tempting to influence and preju
dice jurors by the recitation of
alleged abuses that might, or
might not have real foundation
in fact.
No honest man, and no fair
and fearless judge or Juror will
do aught but decide each case
upon It's own merits, and it may
be depended upon always. that
the railroad company with its
numerous CLAIM agents, some of
whom are not always too scrupu-
lous and honest, and the large
force of able ana distinguished
lawyers, regularly retained by
the year, will do their utmost 20
properly present defense that
will defeat all false, fraudulent
and unjust claims made against
llt.
We feel quite sure that there
are none so foolish in Mississippi
that will be led to believe, eth
er through the railroad literature
or through the editorials, that
have appeared in some of the
papers of the state. that the II
linois Central. Or any other rail
road IS made to bear any greater
burden than it should bear IN the
courts of Mississippi.
1t might be that In some few
instances they may De imposed
upon, but for every dollar that
they lose in this way, 1t comes
back to their Golfers with thous.
ands and added by means Of the
heavy, unequal and unjust
freight rates that the people are
made to pay.
1t would be truly pitable to hear
the whining of the railroad COR
poration if we could only forget
that this same company is the
greatest tax dodger that Mississ.

it's efforts In this regard some
times lurk behind laws that are

when tested. fail to protect them
from paying into the state treas

that they for SO many years neg

The public need have no great
uneasiness that the Illinois Gen.

the courts in the state of Miss

There are hot rumors of some sort
of a readjustment in baseball lines,
with a few Federal owners being al
lowed to buy into the National league
and others being taken care of in the
larger minors. Phil Ball, owner of
the st. Louis Feds, is said to have an
option on the st. Louis Cardinals, but
all the angles of the deal have not
been fixed up.
Something may be due to happen.
We don't see how it will make much
difference to the fans, except that
they will be relieved of this everlast-
ing talk about court proceedings, etc.
But when Jack Fourier, Wilbur
Good, Bob Fisher and Fred Beck of
our three local big league teams are
slamming home runs and triples in
sweet profusion, it is pretty hard to
become stirred up over the troubles
of the magnates. They have dug a
pit for themselves and should
emerge through their own efforts.
They did not take the fans into their
confidence, and the fans are resent
ing it through absence from the box
office.
Let them settle their own differ
ences and We'll go out and watch the
athletes. Baseball is played on a
grass-covered diamond and not over
a lawyers table or in the booth of a
cafe.
Jack Fourier, WeII-knoWn French
man, cannot be kept out of the Sox
lineup, no matter how atrocious his
fielding may be at this early stage of
