PHILADELPHIA AND READINGS
NEW DEPARTURE II HOURLY
TRAINS BETWEEN PHILADEL-


NEW DEPARTURE - HOURLY
TRAINS BETWEEN PHILADEL-
PHIA AND NEW YORK.
To improve its passenger service
this spring, the Philadelphia & Reading
railway is making many additions to
it's schedule.
Beginning with the new timetable.
effective about May Is, the company
proposes to inauEurate hourly service
of fast express trains between Reading
Philadelphia and New York,
and will run entirely independent Of
the Royal Blue Line service. and there
fore will obviate all changes. OF cars,
waiting for connections. etc, at Wayne
Junction.
These trains will leave the Terminal
stations both in Philadelphia and New
York. weekdays. at ZOO. 500. 500
1000. 1l.O0 a. M; 1900 noon, 100. 200.
800. 400. 500. 600 and 200 p. m.
The equipment OF these trains viii
be thoroughly up-to-date. solid yesti-
buIe coaches and Pullman parior cars.
provided with buffet servicewhen need
ed and while the running time has
not been definitely determined on, they
will undoubtedly keep up the Phiia-
delphia & Reading standard Of as fast
speed as is compatible with safety and
comfort.
1t is expected that this new service
viii be we'll patronized. Persons will
not need to consult timetables. being
assured of catching last train each
hour OF the business day.

KILL 4 USEFUL INDUSTRY.

Kansas City Star: The bill to kill
the oleomargarine industry-called
for decency's sake a pure food'act-
will come to a vote in the house short
ly. If the bill becomes a law. the
United States government will stamp
out one legitimate industry for the
profit of another. 1t is as if at the
request of the Standard Oil company,
congress should put a prohibitive tax
on gas.
Let there be no misunderstanding
on this point. No drapery of words
can disguise the meaning of the bill.
Dairymen propose to stop the sale OF
oleomargarine that they may monopo'
lie the business. To call the act a
pure food measure is a deception

OVER DOING IT.

The ants may be depended upon to
make the most of the ~utterances OF
the London Speaker, which publica-
ton pretends to see in Professor
Schurman's recent Boston speech a
hint hal President Roosevelt is pre-
pairing the way for a reversal Of the
administrations policy in the Philip
pines. Because Of the close and init
mate relations existing between the
president and the professor the Speak
err interprets Schurman's remarks as a
feeler on the part of Roosevelt in the
direction of ~ascertaining the public's
opinion On the matter of instituting
the change it claims to believe the
president is contemplating.
But what will please them most is
the Speakers condemnation of the
war in the islands and the praise it be-
slows upon the Filipinos whom it
glorifies as patriots and martyrs
fighting for liberty and independence.
Unfortunately for itself and the cause
it would further, the English paper
has gone a little too far to please the
ants. In the spasm of virtuous indig-
nation into which it worked itself it
made remarks concerning the strong
hold of democracy that are likely to be
resented by those to whom it tries to
appeal. It declares the FilipinOs to
be quite as intelligent, quite as edu-
eminent as any of the populations of
the southern of southwestern states
of the union"
It is there where the Speaker made
it's mistake. To intimate that the
southern people are no more intelli-
gent or no better educated and con-
sequently no more fitted for self-gov-
eminent than the Fllipinos. is to in
suit every democrat that has ever op-
posed a national administration. Had
the Speaker omitted the latter part of
it's article it could rest assured that
it's diatribe against the administration
would have been reprinted in every
democratic newspaper of the United
States and that it would have received
favorable comment. but by lacking it
on it overdid the thing.
On behalf of the Speaker, though
it may, perhaps. be only fair to say
it had Tillman and some more Of the
southern gentlemen in congress il
mind when it penned the closing para
graph of its article. But even then
it made a serious mistake and offend
ed every anti who may see the arti
Gle.

REJOICING.

Portland Oregonian: General De
Wet is the king of runners, as when
brought to bay he is the prince of
fighters. With the inability of the
Boer to feel fatigue, the Beers in
trepidity in the presence Of danger
and the Beers stubbornness in the
face of defeat, he is, moreover, at
home on the veldt or among the kop-
les. And. whether afoot or mounted,
harding with cattle as a protection and
a decoy, or in bivouac with his tattered
, troops, he has proved himself more
than a match for Britain's ablest gen
erals by successfully ending capture
and striking unexpected blows. His
time will come. The persistent Briton
has no intention Of abandoning the
chase ana the intrepid quarry will
eventually be caught or killed, but
Lord Kitchener should take counsel
of experience and not report either of
these events again until the Boer gen.
eral has been delivered, dead or alive,
into his shands. Laughter is unseen
ly in the presence of bitter strife and
of premature rejoicing England has
had enough.

Oleomargarine i sas healthful and as
easily digested as butter. 1t is pre-
ferable to the inferior grades, but can
never take the place Oh the best butter.
To stop it's competition with their
medium and inferior products, dairy
men have brought pressure on con
gress. There is really little use in
discussing the object of the bill. Of.
tigers of the dairy union nave frankly
admitted that the wording is a subter-
fuge and that their purpose is to drive
the oleomargarine makers out of bus
mess. For the sake of those whose
! stomachs are too weak for this bald
statement the bill %ostensibly is direct
ed at the evil practice of coloring oleo-
margarine in imitation of butter. The
white product is as unstable as white
butter. Practically all the butter on
the market is colored. Why is it rep
rehensible to color one healthful pro-
duct and not another? It is time vast
ed to discuss this phase of the case.
The question remains, is it just, is it
decent for the government to destroy
one legitimate business to help an
other?
Would the country permit a prohib'
tive tax on mules for the benefit OF
horse raisers? What would it think
of a proposal to tax suburban electric
lines out of existence to help the rail
roads? Would it forbid the sale OF
canned goods in the interest OF no
house growers? If such favOritism
would not be allowed why should con
gress d%epreciate the value OF western
cattle at the request Of diarymen? I'm
fortunately the proposed law has
aroused little interest outside the PEG
pie directly concerned. If it had, its
prospects could hardly be favorable
Americans love fair play. The oleo
margarine bill is the rankest kind Q.
class legislation. 1t is brought for
ward under false ~pretenses. Its prln
ciple is unjust, it's defense a sham.

D OUT OF CHAOS.

Minneapolis Journal: The bill pre-
pared by Secretary Root for establish
ing a head for our army by organic
ing a general staff and consolidating
the supply departments, the lieuten-
ant general to be the responsible head
of the general staff, has been intro
duced in congress and is already I'M
der the fire of the newspapers which
see, in every step taken to increase
the efficiency of our army, another
"blow at American liberties" The
same element said that same thing
when a million men were called out
to preserve the union. The same ele-
ment, after calling for the Spanish
war with great vigor,' and blaming
the president for trying to effect a
peaceful removal by Spain of her ty'
ranny over the Cubans, declared that
it was the purpose of the administra,
ton to proclaim an empire and es'
tablish a despotism on the ruins OF
the American fepublic when the army
