the paper edited and run by Senator
Patterson of Colorado, will be most
interesting. To say that the reading
of these editorials embarrassed the
junior Colorado senator is putting II
mildly. Ever since he entered the
senate Patterson has made himself
excessively obnoxious by his unceas-
ing attacks upon the administrations
Philippine policy. His position today
is diametrically opposed to the posi-
tion taken three years ago. The fol-

Whatever may be the motives OF

United States must take its place as
a world power, confident Of its ability

may come upon IL and TO reap its
share of the honors and profits.

Freight Service to Be Established
New Line Is Expected to Relieve the
Strain on Carrying Capacity.

The announcement that the Illinois
Central will run it's trains into the
Twin Cities, within a month after the
Rock Island opens traffic over Its new
extension, is significant of the growing
Importance of st. Paul as a railroad
center. With the addition of these two
roads ST. Paul will have seven roads
running into Chicago. The increase in
both freight and passenger traffic over
the lines now running between here
and Chicago has induced the Illinois
Central to enter this new field in pros
pect of sharing in the business. Dur
lag the past year the roads have been
taxed to their capacity in handling the
traffic.
The Illinois Central intends to run its
first train into st. Paul Nov. 2. 1t Will
run one through train from Chicago
daily until the service is fully estab-
Iished, when more trains will be put on.
Passenger trains will alone be run for
a time. Freight trains will be added
later. The trains will be run over the
Illinois Central's own tracks as far as
Albert Lea, by way of Dubuque. The
Minneapolis & st. Louis tracks will be
then used for the remainder of the way.
A time schedule has not yet been ar
ranged, but it is expected that the
Twin City Flyer will leave Chicago
about $50 in the evening, arriving at
st. Paul about o'clock the next morn
Ing. The train will leave st. Paul about
B o'clock in the evening and arrive in
Chicago $50 the next day.

DISCRIMINATION ALLEGED.
Interstate Commerce Commission Will
Investigate Charges Against South
1uae+arn Roadc

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept 19.-The
interstate commerce commission on
Wednesday, Sept. "a, will begin at
Wichita, Kan hearings in the cases Of
the mayor and city council Of Wichita
against the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe for alleged discrimination in charg
es on export grain from Wichita TO
New York, the contention being that
the rates are too high as compared
with those from Kansas City to New
York. 1t is further represented that
the company permits shippers at Kan
sas City to hold grain shipped to them
from other points indefinitely. 1t is
also alleged that the same situation
exists with reference to rates on flour
and other products from Wichita to
Galveston and New Orleans.
The allegation is further made that
the same railroad has violated certain
sections of the interstate commerce law
In that rates on coal and stock to
Wichita from Minden, Mo-, McAlester,
1. r.. and Russellville, Ark, are higher
than to Kansas City and st. Joseph,
though Wichita is nearer the coal min
ing towns named.
1t is still further maintained that the
Atchison, and the Missouri Pacific rail-
roads have been guilty of making un-
reasonable rates on shipments of sugar
to Wichita.
The commission also will hear the
case of Wichita against the Illinois
Central Railroad company involving
rates on bananas.
Other cases to be tried are the fol-
lowing: gEs.41 4gte sG
Mayor and council of Wichita against
the Rock Island, involving discrimina-
ton ON lumber in carload lots; against
the Missouri Pacific for undue preju-
dice in the matter of rates on Hour
from Wichita and other points in Kan
sas and Missouri to points in Texas,
and against the Frisco railroad and
others for the establishment of class
and commodity rates from Louisville
and Cincinnati to Wichita, it being al
legged that they are unreasonable when
compared with such rates to Okla

How materially the import rate situa-
