BUT apart from mis- belief in any such
theory there is conclusive evidence that
John W. Griggs believes one per cent. is
quite enough. if not too much for the rail-
roads TO nav. When he was a Senator, ne
stood out through one entire session ana
the greater part of another one against
imposing any tax whatever upon them
It is true he didn't come out openly and
define his position that way. He operated
by trick and device. But his purpose Is
unmistakable, all the same. What he ac-
oomn,ished was the reduction of their tax
to one per cent, when, but for MIN II
would have been the same as other peo-
pies.
In the Legislature of 1888, with a con-
tempt for the constitution, which must
have vastly tickled his sense OF huanor
and which must nave filled him with
scorn for his fellow Senators who did not
detect the trick, he blocked the enact
ment of an equal taxation law passed py
the Assembly Dy HllIouuSihS
road taxation bill in the Senate, to take
it's place. Mr.. Griggs is a fair lawyer; no
body can deny that. Can any one pretend
that he did not know what he was dong
when he introduced tina bill in the SEN
afe. and that as an effort of legislation,
it was fareical?
In the following year by dilatory meth
DDS. and in alliance with a powerful ran
wav lobby. he obstructed and baff1ed all
efforts to get the equal taxation Dill
passed by the Assembly, through the
Senate. He did not dare prevent all
legislation on the subject. The crisis in
the States finances was too acute. The
people of the State were too thoroughly
aroused. If he has gone to the extreme
that year, he and his party, and the cor
porations which own his party and i
would have been swept down by a whirl-
wine of votes, and the equal taxation
measure would surely pass.
To avert this possibility, the 1 per cent.
compromise was allowed to go through
the Senate. It was accepted by the AS
sembly because the needs of the State
would brook no delay.

FOR many years the people have been
e~ndeavoring to right this great wrong.
The railroads enjoy all the advantages of
the municipal system in just the same de-
gree that individuals and other corpora
tions do. The police protect them from
theft and violence, the courts guard them
orGy too well in their rights and fran
chises; the fire department is at their ser
vice in the moment of danger; the streets
bring traffic to from their termini;
the schools are bringing up intelligent,
well educated young men to enter their
service. The whole city is a great feeder
of them. without its organization, with
out its great gathering population they
could not exist.
Why should they be exempted from
their share of the burden of this organ1-
cation? There is no reason for it. The
people know there is no reason, and the
railroad magnates know it themselves.
And this is why they keep a corps OF
agents always retained to fight reform,
in spite of reason and in defiance of the
'people-a corps in which many degrees
of ability and several different systems
of operating are combined. from those OF
Mr.. Richard Reading to those of Mr..
John W. Griggs.

Why do women persist in wearing In
the theater or lecture room high hats,
or hats so trimmed that they obstruct
the view? Do they not know that BY
doing so they lessen the pleasure Of those
who have seats behind them. Are they

A tall hat is not necessary to the comfort
of a woman in the theater, nor does it
make her more attractive in appearance
Then. why does she wear it? Can it he
because she wants to annoy some one?
or to show her hat? The men and women
whom she incommodes are more than
likely to say uncomplimcntary things
about her. and those she doesn't annoy
are likely to think. if they notice her at
all. that she has very little regard for
other peoples rights.
If a woman has no other covering for
the hat off when she is in the theater or
the lecture hall? She doesn't need TO
have her head covered when she is in the
theater. She can hold her hat in her lap or

A woman who sits behind a tan hat
that so obstructs her view of the stage
that she only hair enjoys the play ought

is pretty she is so anxious to have people

namely. that the question at issue be
submitted 10 arbitration.
Tile question has been pending a long
time. ANA has been the cause Of a great
deal of irritation between the two coun-
tries. Away back in 1881 war
between them was averted by
Mr.. Bla.ne's diplomacy, but 1t does
NOT look now as If war could be averted
By any body's diplomacy.
The question ia dispute is one Of bound
AIRY. Long ago Guatemala claimed nearly
the whole Of Chiapas. which is the ex-
IRENE southwestern state of Mexico. and
has about 10000 inhabitants. Now. how
ever only "a small strip. which Is really
ia the possession of Mexico. is claimed
by Guatemala. ON this strip there is al
most ceaseless trouble. There are con-
slant raids ana reprisals.
The Guatemalans don't want war-at
least the President Of Guatemala doesn't.
lie feels pretty certain that he would
be defeated. HISS people are not prom
islng to enlist and he would have a hard
time getting together an army that could
cope with the force that Mexico would
put la the held. 1t Is said that he has
even prepared for disaster by mortgag-
ins all his property and sending the
money thus obtained to Spain.
But he is bound to pr tend that he is
anxious for war, because there is q reyo-
lutionary party that favors war; and If
he should show signs Of backing down
this revolutionary party would at once
become strong enough to make him re-
sign and get out of the country. lie has
therefore either TO fight, with the pros
poet OF defeat, or to run the risk of los
ing his office and becoming an exile.
The men of wealth Of Guatemala. the

cans. because they think It would lead
to the annexation OF Guatemala to Mex
leo. and annexation is what they want.
They are tired of the continual revolu-
tons. and they believe they would have
a stable government if Guatemala should
become part of Mexico.
And the anxiety in Mexico for war
would seem to indicate that the Next
cans believe that the annexation of Qua
temala would be the result of war.
And If there should be war it is possible
that Salvador ana perhaps other Central
American states. would become involved
in it. There is much unrest In all of
them and it would be a good thing for
an of them probably If they should be
annexed to Mexico. A stable government
is what they need. ana that they are not
likely to have while present conditions
exist.
