The Sentinel did not suffer itself stampeded by the suit
Stokes V. Robertson, State Revenue Agent, filed several months
ago against the fire insurance companies in Mississippi, alleging
that by maintaining uniform rates they were violating the anti
was unfortunate, but we think the disaster to the State as to be-
ing without fire protection was largely overdrawn. There was
one particular thing that we regretted about the suit and that
was that it interferred with the business of the fire insurance
agents, many of whom were wholly dependent upon that bust
ness for a livelihood and many of whom were among our warm
est friends. We are always interested in our good friends and
anything that hurts them is painful to us. But taken all in all,
we hope that they will be winners. Certainly one exceptionally
good thing has come Of Mr.. RObertson's suit and that is the or
ganiZatiOn of the Mississippi Fire Insurance Company, a con-
Germ backed by Mississippi business men and one which is sue
ceeding already beyond the expectation of its promoters and
ceipts to Mississippians rather than sending it away to New
York or some other place to which the State has been paying
tribute for almost ages. The organization of this fire insurance
company is of itself a fine compensation for whatever financial
ills and Inconvenience the State suffered because of the suit.
AS we understand it, the testimony taken in the suit has de-
out of the State some ten or fifteen years ago for violating the
antitrust laws, the Vcksburg rating bureau was organized.
And it seems that the Vicksburg rating bureau thought so much
OF the methods and plans of the Southeastern Tariff Association
whose headquarters were Atlanta, Ga, that it purchased at SIS.
apiece 1000 of the books of instruction of the said Southeastern
hef that the Vlcksburg rating bureau was simply the South
eastern Tariff Association under another name and while the
Vlcksburg rating bureau might not have smelled as bad as the
southeastern Iarht Association, 1t had just as many thOrns. We
understand, too, that the testimony has shown that the Vicks-
burg rating bureau required all the companies using it's ratessto
give it l $40 per cent of all the premiums written-a very nice
little "dlvvy" Tor a lot OF innocent CD figures.
we were n the ire insurance agency business for several
years ourselves. We were furnished a copy of the book above
referred to of the Southeastern Tariff Association and know just

The New Orleans Daily States says if the angels called Caru-
so up there to sing that it wishes he had carried the Caruso rec
ords with him, and then the cruel Fred Sullens says that he re-
fuses to believe that the angels wanted Caruso to fill out the
heavenly choir. Fred Sullens is one of the backwoods editors
that don't know the art in vocal music and we dare say that if
he were to. hear that we or Jim Gillespie, for example, were 60
