to see this distinction.
We have never expected the In
terstate Commerce Commission,
individually or collectively, to
show enough brains for the proper
handling of any question, or for
the making of any logical distinc-
tion.
However, insofar as the ne vs..
papers of Mississippi are concerns
ed, there is no desire for a return
to the old plan whereby papers re-
celVed transportation in exchange
for advertising.
The relations between the rail.
roads and the newspapers in this
state are on a satisfactory busi.
ness basis.
The railroads pay cash S.s---ss....ss'.

The railroads in Mississippi are
not making any fayoritisn at the
hands OF the press. They expect
only a square deal, aud they are
cntft!ed TO that, regardless of
whether they advertise or not adj

the ceremony punch and waters were
served by Miss Mildred r. Weston,
the elder sister of the bride assisted
by Miss Marta Bickford of Orono
