TIE Houston Post made a class
appeal to the railroad employees gave
them to understand that their inter
ests were directly opposite to those
of the farmers; that the farmers were
responsible for the agitation of
railway commission, and that if Hogg
was nominated and the commission
adopted the railroads would be con-
PEELED to retrench and economic.
and that they would begin by cut
ting the wages of employees. In
answer to this appeal the employees
of the Southern Pacific shops in
Houston carried the Fifth ward in
the primaries for Hogg last Satur-
day night by a vote of 13S to 80.

JUICE Cook, the alleged candidate
of the Clark crowd for governor,
should bear in mind that when a
person goes abroad asking a favor
he should carry with him the en-
dorsement of his friends at home.
Harris county, the home of Judge
Cook, is for General Hogg for gov
ernor. The die was cast last Satur-
day when the precinct conventions
were held. Moreover, Hays county
was the former home of Judge Cook
and it was in that county, at Kyle,
that he fred the opening gun of his
campaign. Every precinct in Hays
county was carried for Hogg last
Saturday without opposition.

Of the different railroads Is now used IN

other roads, the rates are made high
enough TO cover these extraordinary
and unnecessary expenses. And since
1t Is the policy OF roads 10 put rates
down to the lowest figures to competing
points, thoy have TO even up by charg-
ing more to non-competing points
With Government ownership no money
would be spent In competing, All rates
would be made as low as possible, and all
the people would get the benefit And in
asmuch as the Government has found
that the postal service paid the better, the
lower the rate was made, 10 is alto
gether likely that the same rule would
work in the matter OF passenger and
freight, and the whole people would
reap the immense benefits of greatly re-
duced cost Of travel and freight

the most prominent features Of this
great problem. 1t is one that the peo-
pie should think upon and discuss in all
its bearings One OF the mostimportant,
