Legislators who harrasss the
railroads and other public service
corporations to an unwarranted
degree by introducing and support
ing bills which will reduce their ef
ficiency are working an untold
injury on themselves and their
constituents. Proper regulation is
undoubteedly needed; persecution
will result in bad service and an
noyance to the people.
CHARGES AGAINST SECRETARY TISHIR.
Charges yvere recently made by
William C. Plumb, attorney for the
Uncle Sam Oil Co., to the effect
that secretary of the Interior.
Fisher has been showing pro
nounced favoritism toward .the
Standard Oil Co., and hostility to
the Uncle Sam Co., which is an
independent concern, in regard to
approving contracts for the lease
of the oil lands belonging to the
Osage Indians. The Osage tribe
is an exceedingly wealthy, one and
owns some of the most valuable oil
lands in the country and Attorney
Plumb has emphatically charged
that Secretary Fisher has favored
the Standand Oil Co. in approving
these leases wherever possible.
Secretary Fisher also appeared be
fore the Congressional Committee
on Indian Affairs and emphatically
denied these charges. The matter
will be further investigated.
INAUGURAL CtRI MONKS.
President-elect Wilson is show
ing his Jeffersonian simplicity in
the matter of his inauguration.
Heretofore, the inaugural ceremo
nies have been followed by a mag
nificent ball in the evening usually
held in the pension office. As the
Republicans control the public
buildings there seems to be a re
luctance on the part of the depart
mental officials to allow the peneion
office to be used for this purpose,
'as they claim it necessitates the
suspension of work by the several
thousand clerks for three or four
days and of course the Government
loses the salaries for that length of
time. It seems to be the intention
at the present time to hold a huge
reception in place of the ball, under
the Capitol dome so that the many
visitors to Washington can have
the privilege of greeting the presi
dent. _
KOCKE IfELEER ELUDtS INVESTIGATION.
William Rockefeller, who is one
of the active rulers of the mighty
Standard Oil Go., has been evading
the subpeona service of the Money
Trust Investigating Committee for
several weeks, and when he was
finally located in Florida he had his
physician to certify that he was
unable physically to undergo the
rigory of an investigation commit
tee. Chairman Pujo of Louisiana,
chairman of the committee, sent
an expert physician • to examine
Mr. Rockefeller’s condition and
this physician has reported that
Mr. Rockefeller is entirely able to
stand an investigation for a couple
of hours, so the committee pro
poses to examine him as to what
he knows concerning the existance
of a Money Trust. The manner in
which Rockefeller has been en
deavoring to escape appearing be
fore this co nmittee shows that he
possesses a great deal of informa
tion that he does not wish to dis
close and which would be damaging

AGAINST EXPOSITION APPROPRIATION.
I
The News would like to go on
. record as being against the bill in
| troduced in the legislature to ap
propriate $50,000 for the building
of an exposition building on the site
of the alleged "Panama" exposi
tion to be held in San Francisco in
1915.
People who know the methods,
ways and means of the exposition
promoter know very well that the
latest "World's fair" is being pro
moted under false colors: that it is
not an exposition to commemorate
the building of the Panama canal
half so much as it is to boost Cali
fornia and San Francisco. The
cat was let out of the bag, too.
when it is learned that San Diego
will operate a rival exposition at
the same time the San Francisco
is going full blast an attempt to
divert the crowds to Southern Cal
ifornia from San Francisco and the
central part of the state.
And Arkansas has no money to
waste in fostering the commercial
and industrial welfare of the Pa
cific coast. If we have $50,000 to
spend let's spend in states from
which we can get good farmers,
advertising our resources,
people, business enterprises and
climate.
Had New Orleans been given
I this exposition as it was entitled to
| have it things would have been dif
ferent. as thousands of people from
the eastern and middle states
would have visited it, where there
will not be hundreds go to Califor
nia and they will be the idle rich.
GOOD ADVICE TO FARMERS.
Set your stakes for some definite
improvement on your place this
year. Alter the fences to make
the fields more convenient: remod
el the inside of. the barn to save
every step possible: fix up a sys
tem of waterworks that will ease
the housewife's load: put another
window where it will let the sun
into the sittingroom: change the
garden patch so that it will be
nearer the kitchen door: some new
rose bushes and some early peach
es and apples. Stop drifting along
in the "good enough" way. and go
to paddling. Southern Agricultur
ist.
The difference between the
United States and French is that
when we inaugurate a president he
kisses the Bible, and when the
Frenchmen swear one in he kisses
his predecessor.
Few men say as much in as few
words as Governor Wilson.

BREAKING AWAY FROM TRUTH
Ywo Opinions With Respect to a False
Statement Minister Admits
He Made.
A curiously interesting question of
ethics has arisen over the failure of
a minister to secure employment for
an erring but repentant woman until
he fold prospective employers that
she was a woman of good character.
He had often been on the point of get
ting for her the work she needed in
order to make an honest living and to
regain the moral equilibrium which
had been disturbed by her wrongdoing.
But as soon as the minister, in his
devotion to the strict letter of the
truth, admitted that the woman had
sinned, the doors of honest living were
closed in her face, the “unco' good"
people who were in a position to lend
a helping hand refusing to run the risk
of 'contamination,” unwilling to fol
low the example of Him who said to
another erring woman: “Go and sin
no more.”
Now a rather lively local discussion
has arisen as to whether the minister
was Justified under the circumstances,
or whether anybody is ever justified
under any circumstances, in telling a
lie. Perhaps few will deny that if this
minister really lied at all he strained
the truth in a good cause and that the
imposition practiced upon those who
refused to give to another tjte chance
of reform which they themselves
would have welcomed in their own
cases was intended to serve a humane
purpose. All who are inclined to take
an ultra conservative view of the in
violability of truth might ponder the
splendid words of Dickens when he
wrote Tom Pinch and the lie that he
did only good to another human be
ing:
"There are some falsehoods, Ton;,
on which men mount, as on bright
wings, to heaven. There are truths,
cold, hitter, taunting truths, that bind
men down to earth. Who would not
rather have to fan him in his dying
hour the lightest feather of a false
hood such as thine, than all the quills
plucked from the sharp porcunine,
revengeful truth, since Time began?”
—Kansas City Journal.
JUDGE STILL HAS THE $50
Condition Competitors Did Not Seem
to Notice Went With Offer
of Prize.
The walking craze of a few years
ago gave a well-known sporting man
an opportunity which he could not re
sist taking advantage of. He had hand
bills widely distributed on which was
stated:
"A Great Crosby gentleman will give
$5h to the man, woman or child who
first succeeds In doing the following
task: To walk from the Pierhead
(Liverpool) to Crosby village. There
each competitor must buy a meat pie j
and walk around the Big Stone and
eat it.” I j
About a hundred , entries were re
ceived, and the w£lk took place on
Whit Monday. Much excitement pre- j
vailed and a great cheer rose as a
local pedestrain was seen leading the
rest of the crowd. His meat pie was
soon eaten as he walked round the j
stone, and he went to the judge for j
the $50.
“Why,” exclaimed the judge, “I 11
didn’t think you could have done it.
The stone seemed too hard to eat.”
“What's that go to do with it?”
asked the ped.
"Everything to do with it,” answer
ed the judge, “and nobody gets the
$50 till they do.”—London Tit-Bits.
Mother Kangaroo's Bravery.
During a severe drought in a cer- i
tain section of Australia, the owner of
a country station was sitting one eve
ning on the porch when he saw a
kangaroo lingering about, alternately
approaching and retiring from the
house, as if half in doubt and fear
what to do.
At length she approached the wa
ter pails, and, taking a young one
from her porch, held it to the water j
to drink.
While her baby was satisfying its
thirst the mother was quivering all
over with apprehension, for she was !
but a few feet from the porch where
one of her foes was watching her.
The baby having finished drinking,
it was replaced in the pouch and the
old kangaroo set off at a rapid pace.
The spectator was so much impress
ed by the astonishing bravery of the
affectionate mother that he made a
vow—and kept it—never again to .
shoot a kangaroo. I
