A WRONG IDEA.

The president of great eastern
university recently advised the
young men of that institution TO
abstain from entering political
life unless they were of
independent means. The reason
he assigned for this advice was, so
he says, the corrupt state of poll,
tics. He affirmed that it was
practically impossible for any bat
ID wealty person to remain pure IN
political life. That, fortunately,
is not true, for there are numer-
Gus instances Of poor men engag-
ed in politics retaining their lite.

political corfu "A no one can

confront them, but political life 10

RICE INDUSTRY
AND IDS,

On Monday, April 20, 1916, the
interstate commerce commission
was in session in Chicago. On
that day C. w. Owen, a Louisiana
railroad man, appeared before the
commission in behalf Of the south
western railroads, stating that
these railroads, being benefactOrs
Of the rice lndusry, acted towards
them accordingly. When the IN
dustry was in it's infancy in south.
west Louisiana and In southern
Texas, be said, the railroads par.
posely fixed the rates on rice very
low for the purpose of fostering
the infant industry, This being
the case, he urged that the rail.
roads carried rice at unprO6tably
low rates until the industry got
on it's feet, and that now it was
no more than fair that the rates
be raised so as to give the roads
fair profit. 1t was developed in
the course of the inquiry that the
increased rates asked for would
amount in the aggregate to $1S,.
900 year.
