THE GLORTES OF COMPETITION.
The proceedings which have just taken
place before the Interstate Commerce
commission at Chicago are very instruc-
live. They throw much light on the
bottom principle of all the claims put
forward recently in the interest mainly
of the 500 line of railroad that competi-
ton among railroads is absolutely neces-
sary in order that the public shall get
just treatment from their railroad car
riers.
According to the new railroad gospel,
which is the outcome Of the noble eff
fort to prove the existence of a carry
ing monopoly in this state, there must
be competition at adj hazards The ferc-
er that competition the surer is the lit
tie shipper to get just the same rates
as the big shipper. It is also a funda-
mental dogma of the new dispensation
that pooling among railroads is a hellish
device, productive of devil-fsh, pluto
Gratis and every known variety of human
cormorants.
In the face Of all the grand instruc-
ton which the reading public has been
Securing of late on the subject of rail-
road administration through Van and
his friend, Lowry's legal and newspaper
advisers, the revelations of the examina-
ton at Chicago are horrible indeed.
They are suggestive of the awful posi-
bility that all the railroad officials of the
= big city have, like the Northern securi-
ties company, organized to ''evade and
escape" the legislative provisions of the
United States of America.
According to the report which appears
in the columns of Mr. Lowry's Mime
apolis organs of the investigation Just
being held by the Interstate commission,
the representatives of many, If not most
of the railroads running into Chicago,
declared under oath that they had been
giving the packing houses cheaper rates
for the carrying of their products than
they gave to anybody else; that they
were compelled to do it in their efforts
to get the business away from each 9TH
er, ara that they were sick and tired OF
the obligation which was imposed on
them to violate the law or else let the
"other fellow" do the business of the
big meat concerns.
What do the advocates of competition
think of this sort of thing? Does COM
petition work just as they want the
public to understand it works? Does ii
look as if competition was the one thing
under heaven that was necessary to
prevail among the railroads In order to
avoid the evils which called railroad

BOARD NOT IMPRESSED
STREET RAILWAYS PLANS TO RE.
LIEVE WATER PIPES FILED.

The Twin City Rapid Transit COM
pany believes it has solved the difficulty
relative to the damage to water pipes
caused by Seturn currents, and has asked
the water board to call conference in
order that an explanation may be CIV
en-. The company believes that with the
cooperation Of other electrical compa-
MES the trouble can be satisfactorily adj
iusted.
A letter to this effect was received from
c. G. Goodrich, vice president Of the
company, by the water board yesterday
with a request that the matter be taken
up with the city engineer, but no atten-
ton was given it beyond to file the COM
munication away for future considera-
ton by the board.
The members are not inclined to take
the communication seriously, except to
say that whatever plan the company
adopts for the elimination of the cur
rents it must be thorough. They hint
that the company is trying to eyade the

Thanks to the resort which has been
had to low politics in the framing of
the board Of control law, in the selcc-
ton of those who should act on that
body, and in the conduct of the cam
paign of the politicians of the state ad.

the scandals which have prevailed for
ever year are rot likely to find an end
ing before the converting OF the next

The decision of the supreme court

mated every phase of this subject. The

judicial declaration that the state univer-
sity and the other educational instltu-
lions Of the state are charitable institu-
tions seems to have been dictated by no
unwlllingness to accept the view which
is most agreeable to those in authority.
1t is unavoidable that this battle shall
be continued. Prof. Phelps is right in
most of the statements imputed to him
since the rendering of the decision in
question. 1t is not, as a matter of prin-
ciple, of the slightest concern whether
State Auditor Dunn passes favorably the
bills of the educational institutions or
does not. The result is the same. The
internal affairs Of those bodies ought
not to have been placed under the man
agement of such a body as the present
board of control; and the judicial decree
that they are charitable institutions in
wolves an odious characterization, which
those associated with them will probably
never consent to remain under.
1t may prove desirable, as T h e G 0 b e
has already suggested, that there should
exist one executive body for the super
| vision or control of state institutions.
But even in that event, the way in
which this result has been accomplished,
and the methods resorted to by the politi-
clans on that body. and by those to
whom they owe their appointment, have
been such as should be resented.
There never was palmer case than
this of the educational interests of the
state being made the football of politics.
Those who are responsible for it should
be made to feel the weight of public
condemnation.

NO ELECTION IN MEEKER
GOVERNOR MUST CALL SPECIAL.
SESSION OF THE LEGISLATURE.

The state legal department yesterday
furnished Gov. Van SAINT with an opinion
to the effect that under the law he has
no authority to call a special election in
Meeker county to elect member Of the
house of representatives. to succeed J. w.
Torrey, deceased. unless a special session
Of the legislature should be called. Ex
cept there should be a special session Of
the legislature this winScY the vacancy
should, under the law, be filled at the
next general election.
1t is generally taken for granted that
the governor will cab special session,
and that after he has done so he will
provide for the special election in Meeker
county, for which course Of action the
attorney generals department holds he
has authority of law.

Ihorne. The Frawley company, while
Identified with the West and with San
Francisco in particular, is nevertheless
Wen known to students of the drama In
all parts of the country. Long experience
mas taught Mr.. Frawley just what the
public expects, desires and demands; ex-
cepuonal ability as manager and pro-
Queer has enabled him to fulfill all ex-
pectations. 'Secret Service" which opens
the F'rawley engagement tonight, is I'M
doubtedly the best work of the famous
author-actor, William Gillette. AS an
example Of fine dramatic construction it
has not been surpassed by Mr.. Gillette or
any other American author

gagement of four nights and Wednesday

Indian Headsmen.

Nowhere is to be found a more POM
pous or more awe inspiring person
than the headsman, who plays in India
the role which the official hangman
plays in European city.
His deadly work he performs with
great skill, and in his bearing there is
a certain dignity which is never seen
in a European hangman. Moreover,
while in Europe the populace regards
q hangman with feeling which is
partly contempt and partly horror, the
people of India respect and fear the
public executioner and never seem to
think that he has lowered himself in
the social scale by accepting the office
of headsman.
On festive occasions and when ar
rayed in his robes of office the eXecu-
toner is decidedly picturesque figure
and altogether different from the SOM
Der and grim hangman of Europe.

For the first time, in a general
election, since the passage of the act

it should be borne in mind by the
voter that the circle is no longer per
mitted, otherwise his vote may avail
nothing.
In addition to the number of candi-
dates that are to be voted for by the
man who enjoys the right of suf-
frage, there is constitutional amend,
ment that is to be approved or re
jected by the people at the polls in

of county commissioners, making the
