TURNING FORD DOWN

Our citizens read in the daily
papers with considerable regret news
to the effect that Henry Ford has
been refused permission by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission to lower
freight rates on the railroad which
he recently purchased, running from
Ironton, on the Ohio River to Detroit.
We hope Mr.. Ford will go to the
Supreme Court with the case, for we
do not believe the commission has
power to compel railroad to charge
more for its service than it desires to
charge. The motive back Of the re-
fusal to allow Mr.. Ford to give the
shipping public cheaper rates is clear
enough. Other railroad lines are
charging almost prohibitory freight
rates, and these rates have been
sanctioned by the Commerce Com
mission. If Mr.. Ford is permitted to
charge less for carrying freight, and
makes money from reduced rates,
then the unreasonableness of the
rates the other railroad are permitted
to charge will at once become ap-
parent.
If Henry Ford can operate rail-
road more efficiently and more econo-
mically than professional railroad
men can operate other roads, then
the public is entitled to know it. And
if other roads can lower their rates
and still make money, as Mr.. Ford
says he is sure they can do, then the
public is entitled to those lower rates,
no matter what the Interstate Com
merce Commission thinks about it.

THE MORE EXCELLENT WAY

Once more Anita Stewart is called
upon to exercise her dramatic instinct
in the role Of Chrissey Desselden,
who marries her guardian although
she is in love with Robert Neyland.
The latter is a hard drinker and un-
worthy of her love. He succeeds in
infatuating the girl to the extent that
she leaves her husband and Institutes
divorce proceedings. A GOODNESS
springs up between husband and wife
on their wedding night. Robert Ney-
land, a headstrong youth, provokes
the husband into a fight and had
Chrissey not interfered one or the
other would probably have been kill
ed. While Chrissey is in Reno arrang-
ing for her divorce, husband and
lover are waging a financial war on
Wall Street. The lover plans to use
the wife as tool with which to ruin
the husband and-but it would spoil
a very exciting and intensely drama
tic story to divulge any more of the
plot.
The More Excellent Way, featuring
Anita Stewart and Pathe News will
be shown at the Lyric Theatre, Mon
1 day, October "a.

THAT WEAK LINK

A New York company, before 1t
could start on the erection Of a
new hotel building, had to
spend $4,000 in securing clear
title to two inches Of land. A Kansas
grain grower, leaving a train load OF
wheat on a siding, discovered when it
was destroyed by fire that one little
comma in his insurance policy kept
him out of $4,000. All Of which goes
to show that it is the "little things"
that count. The blacksmith forged a
mighty chain, but left one weak link.
And later when the chain was used
to anchor ship, that weak link broke
during a storm and the crew of the
ship persisted. The life of every
citizen hinges on 'little things" OF
things which do not appear OF great
Importance to others. And that is
why, regardless of what others may
think, it pays to watch carefully after
the "little things"

that it is merely an attempt to make
the United States as solid with the
remainder of the world as might have
been the case had we entered the
League of Nations. And then there's
the League advocate who contends
that the present plan cannot offer as
great safety. There's the ones, on
the other hand who feel more can be
accomplished by disarment than the
League could offer.
We don't intend to argue which is
right. But we can't believe that any
harm is going to come out OF dis
cussicn of disarment, even though no
special good results. The fact that
Japan has just launched some new
battleships, and will soon launch
mere, isn't very hopeful. Yet we must
remember that if the United States,
ENGLAND and France decree that all
nations shall disarm completely, there
is no way for Japan to get out OF
doing so. For the fact is, this con-
ference, or any other conference is
going to be dictated to pretty largely
by the three big powers. And some

powers are at this time willing to

MOONSHINERS ON DE
SOTO ISLAND

Chief of Police Tucker was given
a quiet tip that an illicit still was in
operation on De Soto Island, across
the Yazoo canal, but in Louisiana ter
ritory. He conferred with Sheriff
Shannon about the matter, and they
notified Sheriff Sewer of Madison
Parish.
Yesterday Sheriff Sewer, accom-
panied by Deputy Sheriff Smith, came
to Vicksburg and met Chief Tucker,
Sheriff Shannon and Police Officers
Hullum and U. S. Deputy Marshal
Harry Lee.
At noon the party went over to
the Island. They found a large ket-
tie over a big fire, at point near
the Mississippi river side of the place.
A lot of mash was also found, with
a small quantity of "white lighting"
The plant was destroyed, the illicit
liquor confscated, but no arrest was
made, as the operators Of the still
could not be located.
Several fish boats was moored to
the shore, with the women in their
boats or on shore, but the men could
not be seen anywhere about the boats
