WILL RAISE RATES.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 4.-PermissioI
to raise its freight rates was granted
to the Liberty-White railroad, running
between McComb City and Liberty, by
the railroad commission late yer -cr-
day afternoon, after the commisf ION
ers heard a lengthy argument by
Judge j. III. Price, of Magnolia, in sup
port of a petition reciting that uless
the road was allowed to do this it
would have to discontinue operation.
+ The petition stated that permission
to raise the rates was asked because
experience showed that expenses
could not possibly be met under exist
ing tariffs. The owners of the road
told of the history of the line, includ-
ing its going into the hand of a re-
ceiver last October They frankly
stated that all they wanted was suf-
fcient revenue to meet expenses.
Shippers along the line of the little
road backed up the officials in their
petition, saying they were willing to
pay slight increases in freight rates
rather than see the road abandoned.
Before adjourning the commission
will issue an order granting the petit
ton and naming the increase to he al.
lowed.
The commission, according to state
ments today, will also issue an order
prior to adjournment to require the
New Orleans & Northeastern railroad
to re-establish service from Hatties-
burg to the gravel pits two miles
distant of the, Jackson brothers. The
Jackson brothers presented a lengthy
petition to the commission, alleging
that they could not secure cars for
the shipment of sand, and unreason-
able demand had been made by the
road that they build certain trackag.
The commission, according to unof
fetal statements, viii pass an ordo
allowing the petition.
Rate matters of various kinds are
been considered by the commission
today, but it is unlikely that any or
3ers will he issued until late this aft
arnoon.

CURRENT THINKING
BEDouIN suPERsTTTIoNs.


Some of their superstitions are fan
ciful indeed. They believe that when
man dies of thirst that his soul goes
forth in the form of a green owl
which flies about above the desert a
thousand years, screaming for wa
ter. II a fish leaps from the water
into a boat where a woman is riding,
1t is sure sign that she will soon
bear a son. They live in daily dread
of the evil eye; the Arab mother fears
for her child, lest this curse descend
and blight its life. Some say man
go possessed has merely to cast his
baneful glance on a bird flying, when
the creature will fall to the earth
stone dead. II an Arab woman finds
the threads in her "nuttou"-loom-
have become tangled she blames the
meddlesome evil spirits. Many wom-
en- have their limbs and bodies tat
tooed in fancy designs as much as
a charm to ward off disease as for
beauty's sake.
Mamma is still much eaten among
Mespotamian Arabs; the women col
lect and prepare it from the ground
beneath certain hill trees, whence 1t
drips. Yet the Arabs-and the Jews
and Chaldeans as well-firmly believe
that this sweet, whitish gum-like food
Is cast down from heaven; that IT is
the same mamma which tradition says
was cast down from heaven for the
children of Israel.

Advertising to
Create Sentiment

A certain Municipal Rapid Transit Company
enjoyed that generous portion Of unpopularity
usually falling to the lot Of the American street
railway.
The most popular thing politician could do
was to attack this railway
1t was hammered on all sides, and as result
many unjust burdens were imposed on it.
The managers Of the railway decided to take
the public into it's confidence.
1t began newspaper campaign showing up
the unfair taxes it was compelled to bear and
how these burdens were impairing service.
The result has been better public sentiment
the relieving Of the company from many Of its
difficulties and improved transit services for the
people.

MEMS UNDERWEAR.

On the Pacific coast, which section
can gain much by the proposed law,
scarcely a single big city paper is
making a fight for the bill and most
OF the papers are openly hostile.
1t is not surprising the press is
frequently indicted by public men for
betrayal Of the people. The press has
a high mission but too often 1t meets
its duty in cowardly disgraceful fash
ion. 1t is too bad but the sooner
more people come to realize the facts
the better off the country will be and
tine sooner will the people secure a
freer, higher quality of Journalism.

In his testimony before the Feder-
al Commission on Industrial Relations
Monday. John d.
OverlOrds and Rockefeller jr. again
UnderlOrds. expressed the opinion
that 1t would be highly
improper for owners and boards OF
directors to interfere with executive
officers in their relations with labor.
Since most strikes and lockouts result
from the application in one form or
another OF this view. we believe that
Mr.. Rockefeller on fuller consider
alton and with wider knowledge will
see his error.
Boards Of directors controlling our
big corporations rarely hesitate to in
terfere in other matters, some of
them much less important. They
dominate their financial agents, fire.
quently bankers of great dignity and
power. They instruct their lawyers,
regardless Of learning and experience.
They attempt to exercise as much au-
thority in politics and legislation as in
transportation or markets. 1t is only
when labor is involved that they are
inclined to depend altogether upon
hired men who are absolute in their
sphere.
Overseers of labor on large scale
are not always fit for such RESPONSE
bilitles. When they chance to be ty-
rannical by nature and when their
own compensation may be governed
by the exactions that they inflict upon
their subordinates they may easily be-
a source Of danger not only to stock
holders and directors but to the state.
II on the appearance Of trouble in
the Colorado mining district Mr..
Rockefeller and few Of his associ-
ates had taken as much interest in
labor as they certainly would have
shown in the finances Of their cor
poration on the appearance of any
thig disquieting in that connection, we
do not believe that the controversy
have been carried to the verge
OF civil war Labor unrecognized is
likely TO become defiant, and labor
cowed and hopeless is the poorest in

CROP AND FINANCIAL
CONDITIONS GOOD
War Has Produced Stimulation
Along Certain LineS-Re-
serve System an Aid.

The United States Mortgage and
Trust Company has just completed an
inquiry concerning basic conditions m
the United States, particularly with
respect TO the crops and the effect Of
the European war. Replies received
from mortgage representatives, attor-
neys and financial correspondents Of
this institution in f0rty-four cities
scattered through twenty states in the
West and South are summarized as
follows:
The general situation and outlook
In the Southeast is stated az encour-
aging and hopeful; in the Southwest
sound and good. The Pacific North
west shows improvement, accompanied
by an encouraging outlook. In the
Inter Mountain country conditions are
the North Central and Middle West
conditions are good, with greater pros
perlry expected.
ITO sum up the entire situation
briefly. crop conditions as II whole
might be termed very good, while the
financial situation is satisfactory. The
effect OF the establishment OF the Re-
Rional Reserve Bank System is reas-
surfing. The war has brought about
conditions which, generally speaking,
are adverse. but has produced stImu-
lation along certain lines. The real
estate situation ia quiet, but, while
loanable funds are abundant, there eX-
lists relatively small demand from
desirable borrowers Manufacturing
shows mixed conditions. while retail
trade is generally quiet and reduced.
