Der OF men in Freeport: I'D as lief

deal OF interest. The matter was sub
mitted to the jury Wednesday night

bodied the following year in the in
terstate commerce act, be revived
and strengthened; that the authority
Of the interstate commerce commits
sion, necessary for the adequate pro-
lection Of shippers and clearly in
tended by the trainers Of the law, be
restored, and that the powers and

larged practically as contemplated in
the so-csllsd Cullom bill Of 1900, ex-
cept as to authority to prepare and
enforce . uniform classification.
Regarding agriculture, the commits
sion makes the following recon-
mendations: "That the secretary of
agriculture be given authority to in
spect dairy products intended for ex-
port and to certify to their grade and
quality; to fix standard grades for
cereals, based on season of growing,
quality and weight per measure, and,
when intended for export, to inspect
and certify the same; to cause stock
cars and stock yards to be cleansed
and disinfected whenever he consid-
ers such action necessary; to make
adequate regulations prohibiting the
shipment of uninspected or diseased
meat from one state to another or to
foreign countries; that a law be en-
acted to provide for the inspection
of nursery stock intended for inter-
state commerce or for export, and
prohibiting the transportation of dis
eased nursery stock; that pure food
section in the chemistry division in
the department of agriculture be es-
tablished to prevent the adulteration,
false branding and deceptive imita-
ton of foods, beverages and condi-
ments; that adequate legislation be
enacted by the several states, where
needed, to control such diseases as
CHAMBERS, tuberculosis, etc. that
whatever changes may be made in
the tariff, adequate protection to the
beet sugar industry be maintained;
that increased appropriations be made
by congress for building sample
stretches of improved road in vari-
GUS sections of the country, so as to
encourage the more rapid construc-
ton of such roads at state and local
expense; that the system Of free rural
delivery be extended as recommended
by the postmaster general in his
fastest report; that the policy of set
ting aside forest preserves, already
inaugurated, be extended, and that
the three bureaus Of the government
which have charge of Investigations
and administrative work connected
with forestry be consolidated"

FOUR COLUMNS WITHOUT AN IDEA.

Editor Taylor, OF Linden: Well,
we have read Mr.. Whitehead's speech
ON taxation, made ut Madison a few
days ago, and there is nothing red
headed about il.
His second sentence was: My
knowledge OF the subject Of taxation
has been limited to what have
gained IN consideration of legislation
during the three winters have been
in the state senate
The rest, residue and remainder of
his speech affords conclusive evil
dence that he learned but little, very
little, on the subject at Madison. 1t is

certain that they took eouu-
sci of their legal advisers before en-
teripg into such an arrangement. IL
is unlikely that they took any
chances of violating this act
Now, IL prosecution were insti-
tuted against the committee for this
alleged violation. what must the
prosecution show? 1t must show
that a privilege has been granted by
the company and accepted by the
committee that is withheld from
other persons. 1t cannot show it'll
it cannot show tina, any similar APP
plica.ion has been withheld from
anybody. so the prosecution would
be blocked at the outset. 1t could
not MAKE proof OF the vital fact In
the case. If the prosecution under
took to prove that this was a special
contract it could do so; but 1t could
not prove that the companies in
vOlyed would not have granted
similar special train to Snowman,
an actor or book agent, for no such
application for a twenty-day CAIN
paigil has been submitted. On the
other baud the railroad officials could
doubtless make oath that the amount
received for this service was as pro-
a.. s. 81. at nj
ing. They could doubtless testify
that no application for like service,
time, run and equipment considered,
had been made and refused. and that
none would have been refused, under
like circumstances, 70 any person.
so the scandal crumbles TO ashes
when it is analysed, so far az the
governor, the committee and the
companies are concerned.
This view of the case is all the
palmer when IL Is noted that the
companies could have charged
higher price for the train IL they had
deemed - higher price necessary to
avoid the inhibitions Of the statute,
and they could have charged and
collected it and then have made
contribution TO the committee that
would have reduced the price as low
or lower than the one charged. They
proceeded as they did. IA straight

Here granted that they withheld
from any one else. The fact that the
opposing faction is accusing aud not

has no case. 1t can only rely OF the
vague, uncertain gene rality that the
