WILL MAKE INTERESTING READING
If the United State Supreme Court upholds the lower
court In ordering Milton H. Smith, president of the
Louisville A Nashville 'Railroad, to divulge the L. & N.'s
political activity secrets and the "Csar of the Railroad
World" tells all he knows, it will make interesting read
ing.
.No corporate interest in America has been more stub
born in yielding to legislation than has the Louisville &
Nashville. The injunction method has been worked to a
fare-you-well in every instance where rates have been
involved and enforcement of other laws, pertaining to
the railroads attempted. Only in the past few weeks
has Mr. Smith's company responded to the mandate of
the law and agreed to accept interchangeable mileage,
known as Form Z and sold at 2 cents. When this form
of mileage was adopted by the other iroads of the South
eastern Tariff Association, the L. A N. and some allied
lines put out a "penny scrip" form and just recently
has this been withdrawn and the traveling public given
the privilege of riding on its lines under the same con
ditions as on other roads.
In spite of that arbitrary and czarlike management
the Louisville & Nashville is one of the 'best railroad
properties in the country. Its "pernicious political
activities," however, have long been the brunt of the
criticism of those advocating the divorce of capitalistic
control from governmental affairs. Some of the States,
through which the Louisvillt & Nashville runs, have suc
ceeded in breaking the shackles of its control at their
capitals, but others have not been so successful.
The developments in the inquiry, when the Interstate
Commerce Commission cross-questions Mr. Smith, will
indeed be worth keeping up with.

SATURDAY CONTESTS
i
BY HAMILTON
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
New York, Oct. 6. With a new
coach in charge and a brand new
team in the field Nebraska University,
the class of Western rootball for sev
eral years, will catapult into the
limelight tomorrow afternoon by op
ening its football season, sharing the
calcium with tha .bigger universities
of the East.
The University of Chicago eleven
and teams .from Wisconsin, Illinois,
Purdue and other prominent Western
points will star things.
In the East Harvard will take on
Tufts at Cambridge. Yale, apparent
ly a glutton for punishment, will tear
into the moleskin knights from the
University of Virginia. Last year the
Southerners handed the Sons of Eli
a bad black eye in their tussle. Prince
ton will face a new foe in North
Carolina and is not expected to have
more than the ordinary amount of
trouble in coming- throutrh on the
right end of the score.
Nebraska's opening game is a
conference contest, scheduled with
Drake, generally considered a weak
sister in the Missouri Valley.
In the Big Nine none of the teams
clash with fellow "Big Niners."

"THE BRIGHT SIDE."
Greensboro Record: "Lucky is the man who always
sees the bright side. The man who knows that tomor
row things will be all right. The man who doesn't 'Sor
row trouble and reuses 'to endorse for the man who wants
to borrow trouble. Several citizens this morning insisted
that this kind of weather was just what they wanted to
soe. They explained that if this week was a little off;
if bad weather visited us that by the time for the reat
Central Carolina Fair the elements would be subdued;
that the sun would shine; that genial and hazy October
days would bring forth the big crowd that should com?,
come.
"And that is the bright side. Hope, ever radiant, still
beckons us on.' And without hope there would be little
left. So back to your caves, base pessimists. Back to
the gloom from whence ye came and on optimists-
come in hordes proclaiming that grand day that awaits
us.
