In recent historical study, Eight

striking illustration OF the feeling of
the Portuguese toward their great ma

Mrs. Wadham was silent. She was
gazing in rapt delight at the approach

There were those at the Harbor no
tel who watched Mrs. Wadham's game

were others-Edith, and Denway him

If it was just a game-why, it was

checkmated.
SO Edith danced and rode and golfed
and boated with the rich Mr. Denway
1T proved to be Cecil-and Mrs.
Wadham nodded and smiled and scrib-
bled long lists and even surrep.
titiously ordered few articles for
Ediths trousseau. James Wadham
whistled when he received the bills.
But, as Mrs. Wadham assured her
husband, the sister-in-law of a count
ess must be properly attired.
But, ny dear, he feebly objected.
Il don't believe Edith really loves the
mani"
Il don't see how any sensible girl
could help loving a Denway," she re-
torted, and was afterward angry at
the silly remark.
Just when her hopes were at pin
nacle point-they fell with a crash.
1t all happened at once.
Edith had been missing all after
noon and Cecii Denway had mooned
around the piazzas, reading the papers
and yawning in a bored way. He
didn't seem bit interested when Mrs.
Wadham cornered him and began to
talk about Edith.
1t was in the midst of a maternal
eulogy of the sweetest daughter in
the world that Mr.. Denway leaped
from his seat with word Of apology
and rushed down the steps to meet a
large motor car.
From the motor car descended a
very pretty woman. who was ardent
y embraced by Cecil Denway. She
was followed by four charming chill
dren and French nurse.
His sister-in-law, Mrs. Reggie,
presumed" said Mrs. Wadham to her
nearest neighbor.
But that dowager only smiled
wickedly.
"Oh. no, his wife She was one OF
the Evans girls. Reggie isn't mar
ried yet, though his engagement has
just been announced He's been
spending the summer in Europe, you
know"
Mrs Wadham didn't know-she felt
in that instant that she didn't know
anything. Never again would she trust
that false prophet, the blue book.
Her husband discovered her in their
sitting room. the fatal book open on
her lap. The page OF Denways was
blistered with tears.
my DEAR" he said gently, Edith
is outside-with Dick AinsIee They
want to marry each other; I'm going
to boost Dick and-I told Edith that
of course you wanted her to marry the
man she loved"
''0f course ! dol" Mrs. .Wadham
smiled through her tears. Tell them

And she gave her husband the
priced blue book.
Why should she keep it when Edith
had fiouted the social register and was
marrying the man she loved?
I'm very glad after all" she sighed,
and she meant 1t.

swered those critics OF education for
the Negro who say that education OF
the black man only makes him have
less regard for Law and order. In
opening the commencement exercises
proper Professor BIackshear gave a
short history Of the institution.
Some white people express the be-
lief that education CT the Negro makes
him less honest and less upright" said
Professor Biackshear This institu-
ton was established as an agricultural
college in 1878. and the next year was
made normal institution. In her his
tory she has graduated LII students
and has given certificates TO teach
to more than twice that number. Fig
ures show that not one 81 our gradu-
ates has committed a capital offense
against the peace and dignity OF the
state: less than per cent Of our
graduates have committed the least
misdemeanor. and not one OF them
has committed an act Of violence
against the white people OF Texas.
II is another particularly encour-
aging fact that since this schools
establishment there has never been
the slightest tinge OF friction or hard
feeling between the white people Of
this county and community and the
students, faculty and officers Of the
Prairie View institute. In view Of
these statements, which are indispuf-
able facts. | do not think that any
one can consistently say that the
proper kind OF education does any
thing except encourage the Negro in

useful life"

both the State and the Railway Com
pany testified that the claims of the
railroad were sustained by the facts.
Two cents did not pay the cost of
carrying passenger a mile. The
state, however. contended that the
railroad was earning enough surplus
on Its state freight business to give
fair return upon the capital used in
It's passenger as well as it's freight
business. For the purposes of the
case, the railroad did not deny this.
but held to its contention that the
State could not segregate its pas
senger business for rate fixing with
out allowing rate that would be
sufficient to pay the cost of doing
business and enough to give some
return upon the capital invested in
doing tho business regulated. This
was the Issue presented to the Su-
preme Court. It's decision responds
to the judgment OF the fair-minded
sentiment of the country. The SUI
preme Court says that. even though
q railroad earns a surplus on a par
dcular commodity by charging rea-
sonable rates, that affords no reason
Tor compelling it to haul anothers
person or property for less than cost.
The surplus from a reasonable rate
properly belongs to the railway COM
pany. II the surplus is earned from
an unreasonable rate then that rate
should be reduced. The State may
not even up by requiring the railroad
to carry other traffic for nothing or
for less than cost.
The decision is q wholesome one
and demonstrates that the ordinary
rules Of fair dealing apply to railway
companies. The fact that one makes
"a surplus ON his wheat crop would
never be urged as a reason for COM
pelling him to sell his cotton at less
than cost. 1t would not satisfy the
man who wanted bread to be told
that Its high price enabled the cotton
manufacturer to get his raw product
for less than cost. In this case the
court reaffirmed the homely maxim
that each tub must stand upon its
