dent Harrison had spent the earlier
pnrt of the week in New Orleans, and
stopped Oft at Meridian on his return
trip 10 Washington lie made the
statement that the Mobile & Ohio
was Tor sale at an open meeting, and
said there was no secret about il.
The sale Of the Mobile q Ohio
would result beneficially to Colum-
bus. and the statement Of President
Harrison has therefore Awakened
considerable interest here. Colum-
bus has only two railroads. the Mo.
bile 4 Ohio and the Southern. and
as long az they are under the same
management the city viii not derive
the benefit which would result from
two rival lines competing for busi-
ness
When the purchase of the Mobile
& Ohio by the Southern first came
up for consideration number of
years ago local business men opposed
the proposition, but their opposition
counted for naught, and the deal was
finally consummated. If some COM
pany other than the Southern had
control of the Mobile 4 Ohio there
would not only be competition but
extensions and improvements might
be expected, while under the present
regime they cannot be hoped for.
Columbus could not, as far as rail
road facilities are concerned, be any
worse off than she now is, and any
change would therefore be welcomed
President Harrison gave the fol-
lowing reasons for stating that the
Mobile 4 Ohio was for sale:
while the Mobile & Ohio is part
of the Southern system, it is to the
company what Canada is to England.
It has it's own controlling body and
only comes to the head office when
big questions are pending. We have
Mr. X. V. Taylor in an important po-
sition and you might say that he
comes to me only with such matters
as Canada would go to England, The
NJ & o. does business in the north
and west and the Southern in the
north and east We have guaran-
teed stockholders four per cent divi-
dends for their voting privileges and
every cent Of earnings that the road
has made above this dividend has
gone back into the company for i'm
proyements. And while the South
ern touches your city, II is the Mo-
bile & Ohio that has made Meridian
the most popular city in Mississippi"

of York, appointed State Banking
Commissioner by Governor Brum-
baugh on Saturday, will come here
to take the oath of office tomorrow
morning. according to word received
here to-day. Governor Brumbaugh

late to-day and Mr.. Lafean will file

wait until the send of the session.
The Governors office declined to

Patriotism Is Keynote
Sounded at Meeting of
Hebrew Association

Patriotism was the keynote of
addresses last evening before the
Young Mems Hebrew Association.
DR.. G.. A. Treiman. the principal
speaker. was introduced by Leon
Lowengard. DR.. Treiman urged
every young man present to do his
share in the great international
struggle.
Captain Henry M. Stinee made an
appeal not only to thee young men,
but to the young women, showing
them how Indispensable we're the
ones behind the lines. He urged
them TO secure recruits for the Red
Cross and to learn to cook, that
when the time came they, too, would
be prepared for their own important
phase of service.
The part that the Jews have taken
in every war for liberty and freedom
from oppression was shown by
Rabbi Louis ]. Haas. He said by
entering the war they were merely
following the example set by Ions
line of illustrious ancestors who have
| fought bravely TO Freedom since
the beginning of oppression.
Not as Jews but as Americans was
the view that Attorney Robert Ro.
senberg urged the young men pres.
ent to take. To forget all denomina.
tlonal lines in standing shoulder tc
shoulder in the battle for right il
the true measure of n patriot anC
the stand that he urged.

PLAN TO HOLD
DEMONSTRATION
Holy Name Society Takes Ini.
tial Step Toward Patriotic
Celebration

Steelton is to have patriotic
demonstration.
Action taken by the Holy Name
Society of the 81; James Catholic
Church in Front street last night
was the first step toward the cele-
bration. This society appointed a
committee to request all other
church and fraternal organizations
of the borough to appoint commit
tees to meet and make plans.
1t is probable that the steel plant
will close down for a certain period
on that day to allow employees to
participate in the celebration.
The parade, although not as large,
will be along the same lines as Har-
risburg's demonstration Saturday, in
which many Steelton residents took
part.
According to premature plans Sat
urday afternoon, May 10. has been
the day selected for holding the pa
rade. The time and date will be
definitely decided at a point meet
ing of the committees from every
section of the town, which will prob
ably be held next Tuesday even
ing.
Members of the Holy Name So
ciety, according to an officer to-day,
are just suggesting the celebration
and do not wish to have any more
honor for the arrangements than
other residents. He said it was to
be a borough-wide demonstration
and requested every resident to join
hands to that it would be a sue
cess.
on the committee from the Holy
Name Society to see other organiza-
tions are Councilman T. T.McEntee,
