Important if True, Announcement is made by the Rail- way Record, a weekly paper published at Chicago In the interest of the rall-| roads, that the higher rate schedules which the raliroads have been trying to force upon the people have been agreed to by the big shippers, and par- ticularly the meat packers, who have Leen persuaded to withdraw their op- position to the advance in rates and to consent to an Increase of 11 per cent on packing house products from the Mississippi river to the Atlantic sea- board. After telling these glad tidings the Railway Record continues: It has been Intimated that a great deal of the opposition of shippers as & whole to the proposed advance In rates was cre- ated by the fact that the Impression had &Kot abroad among them that in making the advange packing house products and & few other lines, comprising in the aggre- gate t bulk of the traffic of the rafl- roads, Werb fo be specially favored. This, it was clalmed, would have thrown the great burden of the proposed Increase upon the shoulders of the smaller classes of shippers, and hence the vehemence which they exhibited In resisting the efforts of the roads to advance their rates. Now that the great packing house Interests have signified their willingness to pay the im- portant advance referred to, and as other great lines of industry such as the steel interests are understood to be prepared to take similar action, it is belleved that the opposition of the smaller classes of shippers will be entirely overcome, and that when the rallwaye again file Increased tariffs with the Interstate Commeree commission, no question whatever will be raised con- cerning thelr reasonableness and justice, and thus the whole trouble will be pea Should the smaller ehippers persist in thelr oppoeition it is belleved that the ac- tion of the representatives of the larger lines, In thus agroeing to a considerable advance in the rates on their traffic, will establish such a preponderance of evidence In favor of the case of the rallways that the Interstate Commerce commission will have no recourse but to decide in favor of the rallway companies, and they will thus get all that they have been contending for in the premises. This may be important if true, but even if true we apprehend that the smaller shippers, who are not also big owners of rallway stock and therefore in no position to milk the cow at both ends, will not be stampeded by any such agreement, nor will the Interstate Commerce commission be constrained to approve a general rate increase just because the packers may be willing to pay more on their products and take it out twice over on the live stock man from whom they buy and the consumer to whom they sell. No doubt the railroads will again file thelr increased tariffs. All the signs point to such determination on their part, particularly their continued cry of tight money and loudly pro- claimed abandonment of projected ex- tensions and improvements. ut it the rallroad rate-makers bhave led themselves to believe that no one will question the reasonableness and jus- tice of the new levy they propose to make on the trafiic of tue tountry they are likely to find themselves mistaken. No Muzzle for the Pre: The attorney for Lee O'Neil Browne, accused of bribing legislators, showed a lack of good judgment when he asked the court for an order enjoining the press from criticising the four men who hung the jury in this case. No matter if this attorney actually be- lieves in the innocence of hig client, he was not warranted in making such & motion and the court did a com- mendable thing in summarily overrul- ing it. It is not for courts to abridge the right of free speech or free press in this country where those rights are organic and where they have stood since the foundation of the republic as one of tho greatest restraining influ- ences in our national and civic life. Good men and righteous causes do not suffer, as a rule, and have little to fear from the searchlight of publicity and in such cases as this one, where the accused is not acquitted, but merely escapes on technical grounds in the first trial, it would help nothing to muzzle the press. There are ample legal restrictions upon the newspapers for the protection of innocent parties, or parties charged and not proven guilty of crime, 8o that for any un- bridled comment passed upon Mr. to accredit the evidence of his alleged gullt there is a remedy provided. It {8 mot an argument for this at- torney’'s case or client or for the character of service rendered by these four men for the attorney to make this remarkable request of the court. Let honest criticism be made unhindered. If there is no gulit anywhere there can be no injury, and if there is culpa- bility the people may want to know it and the light of further publicity might enable them to see it. State Conservation. The dellberations and resuilts of South Dakota's state conservation congress will arouse more than or- dinary interest, as the congress rep- resents the cosmopolitan citizenship and the varled Industries of the state and contemplates a broad scope of actlvity, It is the purpose to ask the federal government that the coal, tim- ber and water of the state be removed from federal to state control and that the arid land heratofore subject to government reclamation be turned over to the state to compensate for the railway and swamp land grants glven to other states. These demands will no doubt meet with objection, especially from those. Some women seem to gain recogni-| pecessarily come in conflict with that For| fundamental doctrine, Until the plan instance, there s Mrs. Ella Flaggof national conservation has had time Young, sucfllt._ndflt of the ecity|for practical eperation there will, of hicago, belng proposed for|course, be some obstacles in its way the Natlonal Educational|of state Initiative, but it would seem tion without woman's suffrage. schools of z president sssoclation, who look askance at the general prin- ciple of state’s rights, but it need not Browne or the four men who refused| good by co-operating with the national government in safeguarding its nat- ural resources, each state ought to be Intimately acquainted with its own resources to be able to develop or conserve them Intelligently. The plan might also eventually have the very desirable effect of lightening the ex- pense of the general conservation movement upon the government, and, if so, then leave more money for the carrylng on of enterprises distinotly federal in character. Minnesota has organized a state conservation tongress and other states are likely to follow the example, but owing to its peculiar situation South Dakota's project will no doubt have a vital bearing upon the action of other states. Parents and the Fourth. City councils and mayors in many cities have decided In favor of the “safe and sane Fourth,” while officials in other cities have not. But without official embérgoes to ald them parents can do much toward bringing about a safe and sane Fourth, toward prevent- ing needless casualties from the hand- ling of explosives if they will. Of course, Mrs. Jones may not be able to do much with Willie Smith, but she can with Johnny Jones. If each father and mother would do their best to keep their children from running wild that day and injuring themselves or somebody else they would find a tre- mendous falling off in the list of acci- dents. And why should not parents per- form this duty? Why should they wait for others to do It for them? True enougzh, the least city officials could do, if they viewed this matter in its serious aspects, would be to limit the use of dangerous firework but even then it remains largely a matter of parental control. Last year there was some falling off in the gen- eral number of Fourth of July victims over the country, showing that the people are getting more cautious about the use of these perilous devices, but there should be a greater reduction this year and there will be If every household looks out for its own. The Late Senator Daniel. The death of Senator John W. Daniel of Virginia takes out of the halls of national legislation the most typical representative remaining of the old school southern statesmanship. Except for Senators Frye and Hale of Maine, Senator Culiom of Illinois and Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island, Sen- ator Danfel's record for length of con- tinuous service in the United States senate is unequalled by any of his col- leagues. Senator Daniel's democracy was of the ancient and unadulterated brand. True, he followed Bryan in his first two campaigns, but with reluctance and misgiving. He never had much faith in Bryan leadership, and even had a personal encounter with him as a result of their differences before his third term nomination, which the Vir- ginian freely asserted was foredoomed. As a constitutional lawyer Senator Daniel was in a class reached by very few, and the law text book known as “Daniel on Negotiable Instruments,’” written by him in his youthful days, is still a standard. Everywhere, in pri- vate intercourse as well as in the sen- ate chamber, he was courtliness and gallantry personified. Virginia will have to search far to find another to fill his place as well as he did. A Far-Reaching Rate Decision. The Interstate Commerce commis- sion has decided that the principle of rate making is wrong that permits a rallroad to charge more for transporta- tion from Omaha to Reno than from Omaha to Sacramento, or the same whether the shipment originates at Omaha or Denver or Boston and goes to Reno or Sacramento. It is purely arbitrary and the railroads have never been able, when put to the test, to Jjustify it, though they have managed in some waw to keep the principle in vogue. The idea that intermediate cities should pay the coast terminal rate plus the local back to the point of delivery never was tenable and the wonder is that the railroads have been able to maintain. They could have done their general cause much good by abandoning it long ago, but instead of that they are not yet ready to make the concession. It is this practice that the Interstate Commerce commission knocks out in its decision in the Pacific coast cases, which is one of the most important it has ever made respecting freight rates, because it both uproots one of the railroads’ most tenaciously held rules ,and is nation-wide in its effect. It furthermore must be helpful as a factor in clearing up this whole rate- making situation. Certalnly it tends to add no weight to the railroads’ arguments and pleas for the necessity of a higher level of rates as a means of increasing their earning power, Its chief influence in this connection will be moral, for it is bound to reflect some discredit upon the good faith of these representations. Of course, there may be rates here and there that are subject to reasonabe advance, just as there are others calling for reduc- tion, but the remedy is not a general raise, but readjustment upon a sound basf A boy dived from the center span of Brooklyn bridge into Hast river for $260 offered by a merchant to any per- son foolish enough to risk his life in this manner.

Sfoux City Tribune, The public cries out agalnst rallroad greed and demands lower freight rates. But when lower frelght rates come, as they sometimes do, the consuming people discover that the reduction does not al- ways reach them In the form of lower prices. As an lllustration of this, two years ago the Interstate Commerce comuulesion, on complaint of the Nebraska Rallway commisston, reduced coal rates from Colo- rado and Wyoming to some Nebraska points. At North Platte, for example, this reduction was from $4.50 to $3.60 per ton, This should have made coal $1 per ton cheaper at North Platte, but it did not. The dealers there, considering that the complaint had been made in their behalf and not in behalf of thelr customers, that the reduction ordered was a reduction of frelght charges and not of retail prices, went right on selling the coal at the same old price. Rallroad Commissioner Winnett, at North Platte the othier day, finding the people there impatient at the state com- misslon because it was not doing as much for them as they thought it ought to do, undertook to refrgsh thelr minds a lttle, and referred to thé §1 a ton reduction mJ coal rates. “What reduction in coal manded the North Platters. “Why,” said Commissioner Winnett, ‘“‘the reduction in frelght rates"of $1 a ton that the commis- slon got for you people about two years 8g0." “We didn't get it,”" responded the North Platters. “You may have reduced the freight rates, but the retail prices are the same. We get no benefit.” ‘“That is not the fault of the commission,” sald Dr. Winnett, and he was right. The people, not only at North Platte, but everywhere, must help to fight thelr own battles. They must keep awake to what is golng on and take some action on their own part. They must expose and Pprotest and bring greedy dealers to time while they are crying out again the greed of the rallroads. Concerted action at North Platte at the time the rallroads were deprived of a dollar & ton of thelr rate would have se- cured most, If not all, of that dollar a ton to the consumer.

Commissfoner Driscoll of the New York bureau of welghts and measures had a heart-to-heart talk last Monday with rep- respntative provision dealers, chiefly butchers engaged In the wholesale trade. The purpose of the commissioner was to impress upon the dealers that net welght 18 to be the rule henceforth, that short weight will not be tolerated, and that wood skewers, spreaders, and wrappers must not be welghed in with_the meat and palmed off on the consumer at meat prices. Several dealers caught with short weight goods were given to understand they must stop the practice or prosecution will follow, Among the shady specimens ex- hibited to the dealers with the dealers' brands were hams and bacon six ounces short of the branded welght and carrying one pound of cover, skewers soaked in water to increuso thelr welght, one skewer weighing ten ounces and another twenty ounces, and lamb carcasses covered with “caul fat,” which increased the cost 20 cents. “Custom’ was the excuse given for thewe practices of the trade. Down into a cellar filled with polsonous gases, while fire raged in the bullding, went Walter Murray to rescue Mahomet's Daughter, bulldog of renown, and her litter of thirteen pupples, & remarkable number. The father of the pupples Is Thornburg Rajah, as blue-blooded as the mother. Gtoping about in the darkness and with miniature explosions going on about him In other parts of the building Murray tenderly gathered the mother and her babies together and took them to Pplaces of safety. Then, when the work. of rescue was complete, he fell unconsclous and it was some time before he could be revived. The fire was at No. 410 Bleecher strect, which Is occupied by the Murray Oxygen company, of which Edward Mur- ray, & brother of Walter, Is the president. Persons passing a clothing store in Broadway, near Canal street, for the last week have been interested In a lar typewritten notice pasted in the window, entitled ““Tips to Tourists. The Language of European Labels.” This notice warns all prospective European travelers of the secret Bertlllion or “trunk-print” system, adopted by porters and other employes in foreign hotels, by means of which they e able to segregate the tourists into “tipping” and ‘non-tpping” . classes, and announces that the secret “code” has been deciphered by a member of the firm and 1s explained in the sign. When asked how it was that he had made so exhaustive a study of the subject, the member of the firm sald that he had been pestered so long by porters of foreign hotels seeking “tips” that he dotermined to find out just what these secret signuls were by means of which the porters estab- lished a “tipper's dead line." It set forth, for instance, that a label pasted In the middle of the top cover of & suit case or trunk signifies that tie owner {5 & close-fisted person. A label pasted on the covers at right angles with the long side of the parallelogram means the owner has & bad temper and is likely to use his fists if annoyea. 1f the label is pasted diagonally across the cover it indi- cates that the bearer is easy and can be made to double his tip, A few years ago a banking institution was started that appealed strongly to a pecullar pride of the Manhattanite.

Strangers were shown the Night and Day bank as an evidence that New York never sleeps. The lights burning within the institution were regarded al- most as reverently as altar flames. The midnight tellers were considered as the highest type of metropolitan enterprise and progress. But lately the directors of the Night and Day bank have noticed that while the lights burn brightly and the in- stitution is pointed out with pride by New Yorkefs escorting rural cousins about tne city, and loudly proclaimed by the orators on the sight-seelng automobiles, little business was done after 9 o'clock, 8o, having more regard for dividends than for furnishing an object of tourist interest, the directors have decreed that hereafter the bank will be open at § dclock in (he morning and close at midnight. “It was just like a sabre cut that ap- peared on the right foreleg of General Bherman's horse, but of course we knew that no sabre caused that injury,” sald an officer of the park department speaking of the equestrian statue at the Plaza. “The cut extended from the hock almost to the knee and threatened to enlarge un- less repaired.

At present cer- taln straws would Indicate that some of these leadess are endeavoring to cater to the corporate interests and the people at the same time. This same condition dis- qualified the republican party in Ne- braska, and Is disqualifying It today in the nation. The attempt of some of the democrats in the state to hold up W. J. Bryan to ridicule, so to speak, becayse of his attitude on county option or the initiative and referendum wil not have any reassuring effect on the people whether they be democrats, independents or republicans. The democrats stand an lexcellent show of winning fu this fall's election, providing there {s 4n honesty of purpose back of it.
