VILLA AND VICTORY.
That Villa and victory are prstty
nearly synonymous terms for the con
htltutlonalists must he Impressed on
the Imaginative minda of Carranza
followers by what seems to have
been the outcome of the fighting nt
Zacatecas. There, for the first time
In many moons, the constitutionalists
seem to have Buffered a reverse, and
while, at the moment of this writing,
the dispatches hove not shown what
the extent, of that defeat was, it
seems to have been n complete check
male. Of course the significant cir
cumstance Is that this, with the sin
gle exception oT the taking of Tam
pico, Is the first, large engagement
the constitutionalists have been led
Into lately by any one other than
Villa. In tho natural course of
events, it was he who would have
provided the generalship for this hat
tV But eveuts were not permitted
to take their natural course, Carran
sa, for some reason that has not been
explained, held Villa quiescent at
Torreon, while Natora, who Is hostile
to Villa, whs put at the head of an
army assigned to the task of taking
Zacatecas was not due to any lack
of generalship, but we Imagine it will
be ditflcult to convince the ordinary
peon soldier, who has been accus
tomed to victory under Villa, that
that was not the case.
BUT GIVE US THE MAIL.
“1 am thoroughly convinced that
for carrying the malls the railroads
should be paid a rate that will give
them the same returns per car mile,
that they get on an average from
passenger traffic," said former Sena
tor Jonati.—i Bourne, Jr., chairman
of the Joint congressional committee
on railway mall pay, "1 aiu speaking
for myself and in no manner for the
joint committe.) on railway mall par.
My conclusions have been reached
after many months' study of the sub
ject
“The desiderata in mall transporta
tion by railroads are frequently, reg
ularity, speed and sutety. Mall is
carried almost entirely on passenger
trains, The volume of itsssengei
traffic determines ami primarily oon
tools the frequency, speed and regu
larity, and to u great extent the
safety, of railroad passenger trans
portation. Hence, everything that la
necessary for Increased volume of
passenger traffic Is a relatively cor
responding benefit to the mall in Its
transportation over the railroads.
"Tho i-ostofTice department has ad
vanced the theory that the mail shall
not boar Its relative proportion of
expensive terminals, ticket agents,
and many other things appertaining
in the passenger service, hut I assert
this contention Is not sound. The
volume of passenger business de
pends on all of these things and they
are necessary to Increase of paasen
ger business and. hence, necessary
for mall transportation, and the gov
ernment should pay Its relative pro
portion of same.
“With those premises and deduo
Hons 1 again assert that my own eon
vlction is that the government should
at least pay a car-mile rate equlva
lent to tho average passenger cor
mile rate for the Inst five years, as
earning the passenger car-mile rate
to lie a Just rate, namely, a little
over So cents per car-mile. If my
premises hie sound, my deductions
are certainly syllogistical.
“The duty of our committee is to
determine as far as It is possible to
determine, what Is a just eompensa
tion to he paid to the railroads for
the carriage of mail. The apparent
aim of the postoffice department has
been to evolve a method by which
the railroad mail pay could be reduo
ed. Government is formed Tor the
protection of Its citizens, and the
preservation of their personal and
property rights. It ought to set an
example for all the people and
should, therefore, itself do justice to
each individual in society.”
A REMARKABLE WILL.
That is a remarkable will which
the late James Campbell, of St. Louis,
Is said to have made. According to
Its terms, the Income of the whole
estate, worth from 135,000,000 to S4O
- Is to go to his widow and
daughter, or to either that survive
the other. For any children born to
the daughter, as yet unmarried, sl,
000,000 is set aside, and then twenty
one years after her death, assuming
she survive her mother, all but the
11,000,000 set aside for possible
grandchildren. Is to go to the St.
Louis University for the support of a
hospital and medical school for both
teaching and research work. So at
some indefinite time In the future,
but. not until twenty one years In any
case, the St. Louis University will
be probably the most richly endowed
institution of that kind in the world.
Without having Information at hand
which would Justify a positive state
ment, we neverthelehs venture to say
that this Is probably the largest leg
acy ever left to a public Institution
In this country, although It Is one
whose benefits will not accrue to
many of us now alive.
Wants Hoke Smith Sent
Back Again to Senate
Atlanta. —Tho Homo Tribune-Her
ald, which has fought Hoke Smith in
the past, has declared Itself in favor of
sending him hark to Washington as
United States senator, unopposed.
“During the three years ho lias been
In tho senate,” says the editor, "he h s
made a national reputation, and at tho
present lime Is one of the leaders of
that august body. He Is In dose touch
with the administration, being one of
Its main rellanees In the senate when
matters of Importance come up before
that body.
"We do not believe he will have op
position. It looks as If It would he un
wise to stir up old animosities, and de
cidedly unwise to eliminate from the
senate a man who has shown himself
callable of coping successfully with the
shiest leaders of the opposition."
No String Attached to
Resignation, Says Harris
Atlanta- —Hon. W. J. Harris, who
resigned am United States Census l)l
--rector. to run for Governor of tieor
gla In the present campaign, has au
thorized u statement In response to the
charge made by some of his opponents
that there was a "string" tied to his
resignation from the census bureau.
"There Is no string," says Senator
Harris. He states further that his res
ignation is already In the hands of tho
Secretary of Commerce, who can ac
cept at his pleasure.
The supplementary statement, au
thorised by Mr. Harris' friends, says
in part, "If the record made by Mr
Harris as director us the census is
such tlial the administration Is loath
to lose his services, and on this ac
count defers acceptance of his resigna
tion, tho fuel is one of which every
(leorglsn should be proud. It hut
proves his high efficiency as an exe
cutive.
"One Incident of his record should
give pleasure not only to every Geor
gian. hut to every Southerner, and that
la the fai t that he caused the age limit
to be raised so that ex-Confederale aol
diers could he employed In collecting
cotton statistics and other census
figures."

THE RAT AND THE CHEESE.
Old Mr Rat lived in a barn, but he
was very fond of good things to eat, so
he often wandered into the farmhouse
at night just to get a dainty morsel.
One night he discovered a whole
i hecHP, and It was a very big cheese,
so Mr. Rut felt that he would not need
anything else all winter in the way of
dainties.
But Mr. Rat wgs vain, and when he
got to thinking about the whole cheese
and how smart he w :l s to find it, he
began to brag about it to his neighbor
who lived In the lower part of the
barn.
“I don't see how you live without
any dainties, Just this meal and the
coarse vegetable you can find out here.
But then, of course. It takes a pretty
Intelligent, as well »s brave fellow to
find the things I find, Why, only a
lew days ago, l found a whole cheese;
think of that, a whole cheese!”
And the neighbor Rat did think of it;
he thought out loud to all the rats

went.
“It is in the, farmhouse that he goes,"
said one. “but how will we get in with
out letting him know?” asked an
other.
“We need not be afraid of him,” said
another; “we are a large number, and
he wll have to obey us; we will follow
him tonight.”
So that night when Mr. Rat sat out
for the farmhouse there was following
him a long line of rats, and no sooner
was he in the pantry and busily eating
than the others were in there, too.
“Look at him eating our cheese,’
said one "This is our cheese,” said
another. “You will have to leave off
eating until we have had as much as
you have eaten, for I am sure you have
been coming in here every night after
we leave and eating all you want.”
Of course, Mr. Rat did not dare say
a word in protest to thlp treatment, for
there were too many of them, so he sat
hack and watched them eat bis cheese.
In fact, he saw it all disappearing be

Tom appeared not to notice, but said,
”l.ook, girlie, here’s something 1

It was a box of candy. When Jen

But he was bound to have revenge, and
he waited his time. “The next time
you find a good cheese or any dainty
don’t keep it all to y-ourself," they told
Mr. Rat, as they went away.
"I won t, I promise you,” said Mr.
Rat, “for l see how selfish I have been."
Mr. Rat waited a while, for he knew

WIFE STICKS TO HIM.
Atl a nta. “Dad” Mangum, “high
sheriff” of Fulton, is speculating today
on the peculiarities of woman-kind,
and particularly on the beautiful, al
most dog-like devotion with which
sweet young girl brides stick to worth
less convict husbands.
In the case of a young married man-*
arrest and conviction, says the sheriff,
it is the rare exception for the wife to
desert him. Usually they protest their
husbands’ innocence In the face of all
evidence, and beg to be locked up along
with them.
The particular case Sheriff Mangum
had in mind was that of the pretty
young wife of Edward Rhynata, who
has just been convicted for attempting
to rob a negro bank and sentenced to
three years. But there are scores of
other similar cases.
THE GASOLINE WAR.
Atlanta. State Commissioner of
Agriculture Price, has taken a hand in
the gasoline war which has just start

began to cut each others' throats, fig

cents to 13 and In some cases down to
10 cents a gallon. But when they put
up the ten cent signs they took down
the signs stating the specific gravity
of the gasoline. The state department
has a rule that these signs must al
ways be displayed, and the commission
er has summoned sixty dealers before
him for violating the rule.
