with ths except of Wilson and

C. Ale to act as policeman  temporarily. The matter of making
him the  permanent   policeman
Was taken up and the vote resulted in a tie. Messrs. Forrest
and   Williams    voted    for  the
appointment, while Messrs. Hursh
apd Goss against it.  Chairman
Fleisher refused to cast   the deciding vote. Messrs. Estep  snd
Wilson   were absent.   Council's
refusal   to appoint a policemau

general Older of the town, leaves
opportunity for a renewal  ot the
past disgraceful conditions. The

of sixty-five business men for tbe

Samuel Barber, wbo made a plea

The Covington Sun says i "That
the mother who allows her girl,
aged trom 12 years up, to float
around the country in an automobile after respectable people are in
bed, with a counterfeit sport with
weak paws and weaker morals,
merely opens the front door to
grief and disgrace.'' The Sun
goes on:

what time o' night sbe turns in,

A beautiful example of whst
happens when railroad rates are
high is this one We have just heard
about Texas onions. Texas is a
great stste, you know, for this
bulb of tbe lily fatally which has
an aroma all its own.
In former years the Texas producer sent his onions to the eastern markets by railroad. Along
came the increased railroad rates
and he found that it cost bim 83
cents a crate of fifty pounds, to
ship to New York by railroad.
Just about that time the Texas
producer   also   learued   that, he
could ship from Galveston to New
Tork by boat for 56£ cents   per
crate, a clear saving of 25}  cents
per crate.   Of course, like all the
rest ot us economists of plain life,
the Texas farmer jumped   at   ths
lower rate, with the   result that
what might have been   700   carloads of onions   by   railroad just
naturally Heated into New Tork
city by coastwise steamer.
There are several hundred crates
in a carload, and sooordlusly the
railroads lost nearly $200,000 in
freight income, figuring ut the
boat rate per orate. Ii is clear us
daylight that similar things are
happening all along tbe line.
Many people are shipping by bout
when they can, and (hutting down*
factories where they h»»ve to pay
tbe high railroad rates on articles
which naturally bring only small
profits when delivered somewhere
else and sold.
Wv>Vie»»£   noOaa'aaag, " \su*.     sdawiolr*
from tbe railroads about their
profitless business. When they
and tbeir employees realize that
lower rates will mean more traffic
and consequently a much greater
income, the railroad business will
again pick up, and dividends witb
it. And, incidentally, lower railroad rates will also mean tower
cost of living, a point the-rail road
workers might well consider.
