that dream bereft of logic and graft

First, it has only been few years
since We begged for England's opinion

Ask your conscience reader. Here ls
where Mr. Arnett shows his ingratitude
and lowers the prestige of the Afro
American with the English people.
He said that the cause of the Lresen'
trouble was Englard's 'greed for
gold" Here is his want OF knoWle dge
of the true cause. Consequently l beg
to be allowed to quite little history

for the entire Afro American race.

A MELANCHOLY COMMISSION.

The report of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission is usually melancholy thing. 1t is al
ways sad to find an important dignifed and
costly body of officials complaining with regu-
larity that they cannot discharge the one func-
tion for which the body was chiefly created
Still more disheartening is 1t to find that the
officials charged with the execution of a law to
prevent pooling among railroads and cOmbina-
tOns to suppress competition appear to be con-
vnced that uniform and steady rates are best
for the business world and chiefly desired by it,
While they take great care TO say that they do
rot strive in their conferences with railroad Off
clals to bring about agreements to maintain
rates." the Commissioners state that leach road
'in promising to observe its own tariff and in
"needs the assurance that its competitors will
"also I'm good faith observe their tariffs The
mutual and concurrent promises to each other
land TO the Commission, that each will honestly
adhere to. its published rates whatever they
may be, was practically necessary to accom-
"plish the result desired, which was conformity
ito the requirements of the act" The grammar
is official. as well as the idea
The difficulty is not that these efforts of the
Commission are without sense. If they have
done good at ALL as the Commissioners believe,
II has been by inducing the railroads to stop
competition, whereas the very object of the law
by which the Commission was created was to
prevent railroads from stopping competition.
The precise attitude OF mutual promises and re-
