Discussing the necessity for a raiIro

Discussing the necessity for a railroad
commission, the Bolton Journal says:
There is no denying the fact that the rail-
ways have aggravated the discussion Of their
affairs by Withholding from the public the in7
formation which all ought to possess, ankEff
they come N for good share of abuse theg!nlay
largely blame themselves for it.
Had the railroads volunteered astate-
ment Of ''an the facts and fgures58aof.
their condition, it would have been re-.
ceived with doubts and sneers; the m6ss
tives of the roads in volunteering sueR'
statement would have been impugned
and the correctness of the statement &C.
MED. There has never been any occasion
for the railroads to strike a balance sheet
for the edifcation of the public. Such
action would have been ridiculous with
out formal demand from the people. A
committee of investigation would have
afforded such opportunity, but the Jour
nal did not urge this Official demand, and
now rebulzes the roads tor not doing
voluntarily what the people refused 10

THE RACE PROBLEM.
Bishop Newman Of the Methodist Church
Thinks the South has Comparatively
Easy Task.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. 9.-Bishop Newman of
Omaha addressed the Methodist ministers at
their meeting at the Methodist church block on
the subject of the race problem in the South and
the work of the Methodist church in solving IT,
The speaker told OF his late trip through the
country and gave several Illustrations of his ex-
peFience. Ignorance and fanaticism were
to blame for much of the i'll
feeling, he said, but contrary to
the general belief the ignorance and fanaticis1n
colleges for colOred people were doing wonder
full amount of good, and prominent Southern
statisticians admitted that there were more
illiterate people among the whites than among
the cOlOred people. This was largely due to the
efforts af the Methodist church in pushing edu-
catian among the negroes. The speaker said he
called on the governor of South Carolina and
had long talk with him. He discovers for the
first time that the Methodists were not working
for social equality for the negsSes but for full
political recognition.
He complained, - said the bishop, ''of the
terrible strain engendered by race prejudices. I
told him he had a comparatively easy problem.
You OF the South, l said, have only your
native born people to contend with while we in
the north have all Europe. would
rather thousand times be q Southerner
and have the race problem to gTapple with than
the problem in Chicago and the North, and be
confronted by these vast hOrdes of ignorant
foreigners VINO swarming over here to take
possession. look forward to the time, and
hope it is not far dista Mt, when we can stand up
and firmly say, mo foreign-bor citizen shall
push forward, have place in the legislature or
conduct this country, .
Bishop Newman remarks were received with
applause, but were not discussed.

THE Pennsylvania Democrats, who are seem
iugiv IN a hopeless minority lose nothing by
resolving for tariff reform. But Massachusetts,
would be profoundly thankful if By any means
they could influence Pennsy lvania public opin-
ion so IS TO permit Nova Scotia coal to come in
free, and largely reduce the duty on some kinds
OF iron. The cheers given for Mr.. Cleveland in
that convention must have grated larshly on
t.r- RandalIs ears, but they strongly indicate
that the eE-prcsident still retains his leadership
in the Democratic ranks, despite Dave Hiu and
the New York Sun Boston Transcript.
Massachusetts wants free coal and iron
and Pennsylvania wants free wool, but
neither gets what it wants because the
rolber tariff is supported by the selfish
ness OF man. The protectionists are now
drumming for recruits among the cattle
men by promising duty on hides. The
tariff is the outcome of that wen-known
American game of ''you tickle me and
IN tickle you.

demands of the greatest number. In no other
location is genuine success possible. The city
chosen should be at or near the center of the
populous and producing regions of the country,
and also near the center of its social and politi'
cal influences. It should be a city typical of our
people andof the forces that mold our national
character, and that in its industries and its citi
zenship represents the elements of our progress.
But, chiefly, the question OF location should be
determined by the needs Of the people Of the
United States. From all states, territories and
sections the people of the country viii desire to
visit the,great fair, and other location except
a central one VIII meet the convenience and de-
mands OF all classes. It must be so placed that
the greatest number can visit it with the least
expense or difficulty. The invitation win be to
ali citizens OF the United States, and the more
that come the better, and TO insure their attend
ance every obstruction OF travel must be re-
moved so far as possible. To locate the fair nea
the seaboard, or on the shores of the Northern
lakes, would undoubtedly greatly inconvenience
a multitude of our citizens and unQuestioIal4t9
operate to diminish attendance It wouldSnos be
Just to the great body of the people, and,a7would
not be prudent in reference to the financial sue
cess of the great enterprise. From st. Logiss
address. S.as
citizens win see to it that the thousands soE
foreigners coming are impressed with the besN4
ties, realize the wonderful resources and eeEh-
prehend the amazing growth of the West;-Fhe
Northwest, the Southwest, the South and the
Pacific coast states. We would not be content
to have them go away without visiting all our
sister cities. We would have them observe the
possibilities of the South, inhale the ozone of
the empire state of Texas, and gaze on the pic-
tuTesque grandeur of California and the Yellow
stone; we would not have their range of vision
confined to Long Island, the Brooklyn bridge
and Central Park, bat would have them inspect
our mines, take them through our factories,
over our farms, show them the stock, our fields,
our implements our granaries and our forests.
Finally then, we ask you to aid US by arous-
ing public sentiment in our favor, because the
exposition, if held in the heart of America. viii
enable foreigners to more fully appreciate our
country after witnessing the evidences of its
past and present rapid development, and the
promises Of coming greatness. The West and
its tributaries, therefore, seek the support of
the journalists of the Country in behalf OF Chi
cago, whose citizens have the magnanimity and
public spirit to advance the millions of dollars
necessary to make the exposition success

Henry Clay's american system. -
PHILADELPHIA Record.

The New York Commercial Advertiser
has been worrying its PrOtectionisr con-
temporaries by reprinting extracts from
Henry Clay s tariff speeches. They read
very much like current tariff reform edI-
torials. Mr.. Clay held that the cost of
labor was so inconsideTable an element
in the scheme of protection as to be
hardly worth mention. Our cheap raw
materials and the better quality of our
labor, he insisted, more than counter
balance the disadvantage of the low
wages of labor in Great Britain. When
Mr.. Clay spoke in 1924, labor was low
indeed, in Great Britain. 1t was "pro-
tected' labor. Skilled workmen OBJ
tanned 81 per week for eleven hours work
per day. Such labor now, unprotected,
earns from SIS 20 to $6.75 per week for
eight hours work per day.
Mr.. Clay disdained the cheap dema-
gOgy which seeks to cheat the laboriug
man out of his vote by making him be-
lieYe that to vote for protection is to vote
himself better wages. He favored pro-
lection as q measure of reprisal against
nations whose hostile tariffs affected adj
versely the trade of the United States
He was in favor of free trade with free
traders. ego home, he said in de-
bate with Col. Hayne, who was born
abroad, ''tO your native Europe, and
there inculCate upon her sOvereigns your
;EtOpian doctrine of free trade, and when
y0Sshave prevailed upon them to upseal

PubIIc}Fy in divorce Gases.



The question of remodeling the pro-
cedure of courts in divorce cases is nat
urally brought into prominence by the
FIack affair The weight of legal Opin-
ion as reported through the Star inter-
views favors the rule adopted in Brook =.
Ign, where divorce trials are conducted
in open court by one of the judges sitting
at chambers or special term.
No certain conclusion can be drawn
from the practice III other states, for
results do not conform to any
uniform rule. In Pennsylvania
publicity of proceedings has not
proved a safeguard against fraud.
IN New Jersey, where divorce scandals
are comparatively rare, the taking of
testimony before the master in chancery
fills the part played in New York by the
hearing before a referee.
The chief objections urged to public
trials is the intliction of gTievous social
injury upon the children and other rela-
tives of litigants and the evil of giving
publicity to immoral details. But these
considerations are not regarded as of
sufficient moment TO oveTbalance the rea-
sons IN favor of the abolition OF the ex-
referee system. 4The day of secret
divbTce in New York VIII soon end.
