TeIepathy Played No Part In
Preacher communication.

BOSTON, April DIR. Richard Hodgson,
secretary OF the American branch Of the
Society for Psychical Research. has re-
ceived a letter from Dr. Isaac X. Funk Of
New York in regard to the widows mite
coin. the possession Of which a sp~iritualist-
&c medium revealed to Dr. Funk. by whom
II had been forgotten for nearly ten years.
DR.. Funk wished to get into communics-
tion with the spirit Of Henry Ward

regard TO the coin was made, in order to
learn what disposition the noted preacher
would have made Of It. He wrote to DR..
Hodgson to And out II Mrs. Piper. the noted

DR.. Hodgson doubts the genuiness Of the
original spirit message, saying:

difficult problem OF discovering whether the

the coin and though his brother, whom he
told to return II, had forgotten too. II Is
not impossible that Information regarding
the coins location may have come from

THE CONVICTION OF AMBs.

-
Minneapolis Tribune, The verdict Of
guilty for DR.. Ames is a verdict Of ac-
auittal for Minneapolis. The shame under
which the city has writhed for a year Is
wiped out. II could have been wiped out
In no other way. The conviction of lesser
Tools was necessary, but inconclusive.
Only the punishment OF the c%ontriver and
ohiet executive OF the corrupt graft could
vindicate our good name.
Chicago Record-Herald: while there are
eight other indictments against Ames, in
volving bribery and conspiracy. the trial
just closed has ELECTED testimony which
appears to be conclusive proof that his
venality was continuous and systematic
and had wide ramihcations. Whatever de-
cision may be rendered under these In
dictments. the political career of the ex-
mayor is closed and he stands convicted
Of looting and betraying the city that con-
ferred upon him its highest honor and
committed to him its most important
trust
Chicago Tribune: IL is something OF a
novelty to see a mayor convicted OF a
penitentiary offense. Usually a subordinate
suffers for the offense in which they both
shared and the world cynically despairs
Of reform at the top. Minneapolis has set

10 ABATEMENT oF ENTHUsiAsM.
II is plain that with the progress Of
President Roosevelt on his western tour
there is no abatement OF enthusiasm in
the greetings extended to him by the
people Of the various states he IL trav-
ersing. II anything, the reports would
indicate that the receptions accorded
the president in the far west are as
cordial and as genial rs those which
awaited him in the more central states
and which are sure to be extended again
when he makes his return trip through
this section. In a word, the enthusiasm
aroused by the president among the
great mass of the people throughout the
entire western half of the continent has
never had a counterpart in the history
Of the republic.
While no one will gainsay that much
of this remarkable demonstration is due
to the exalted character Of the position
of chief magistrate, which always by
itself commands respect. yet the In
tensity of the enthusiasm displayed on
the occasion of the present tour cannot
be explained except by the personal
popularity of Theodore Roosevelt, who
has added to the respect due to the office
popular confidence in his intentions and
admiration for his abilities. Many pre-
vious presidents have exhibited traits
that have endeared them to the public
and won for them the popular plaudits,
but none of them have appealed with the
same combination OF, personal elements
to the esteem of their countrymen and
to the feelings of QRr whole citizenship.
Especially in the west, where the demo-
cratic spirit prevails to a greater degree
than in the east, the common everyday
people are thoroughly satisfied that
President Roosevelt is not only one of
them, but pretends to be no different
from what he is, and that he is in fact
the peoples president as against the
claims of special interests, no matter
how powerful they may be. 1t is real
lied that the Office of president Of the
United States is the greatest among gov
ernments Of human kind, but to the en-
thusiasm for the office is added the en-
thusiasm for the man.
That President Roosevelt should meet
with such warm welcomes in constant
succession through the west must be
gratifying to patriotic citizens every
where. 1t affords new evidence Of the
u%nlfying forces at work In the nation
and must impress the president with a
sense Of the firm loyalty Of the western
people to the interests of the country
as a whole. 1t is moreover easy to pre-
dict that this enthusiasm for the presi-
dent will continue to be manifested to
the very end Of his %sojourn in the west
ern states.

MUST SERVE ALL ALIKE.
Meaning of n Decision I'm the Rail-
rOnd Cut Rate Case.
Chicago Inter Ocean

Chicago Inter Ocean.
The decision OF Federal Judges Grosscup
and Philips. in making permanent injunc4
lions issued in March, 1909, forbidding
fourteen western railways to discriminate
between shippers, sweepingly afhrms the
right Of congress to regulate the conduct
of common carriers and to compel them to
serve all citizens alike.
Complaints we're made that these rail-
ways Disseminated between shippers in
charges made for carrying packing house
products and grain. 1t was alleged, and
would appear to have been proved, that in
a given grain growing district the railways
gave rates so much lower to favored buyers
and shippers that others were driven out
of business.
There is no Question" observes the
court, but that such conduct is contrary to
law. The interstate act eonfers
upon each citizen the right to have his
products transported by common carriers at
rates equal to those of his competitor"
There was a further question before the
court whether the government could take
action to enforce this right, the railways
c%ontending that the shippers who claimed
to be injured must individually bring suit.
This contention the court swept aside with
the remark:
"The alleged violation OF rights is BY COM
mon carriers, servants OF the government,
which the government may regulate. The
injured persons are 80 numerous, and the
injury to each so inhnitesimal, that It is
the duty OF the government to assert such
rights for the injured parties"
It is really remarkable that the railways
counsel should have made such a conten-
ton. II q nan place a locked gate across
a public street and attempt 70 make those
who pass pay him for opening II, II IL not
necessary for each man so held up to bring
suit to recover what he has paid. It is the
duty Of the local government to remove the
obstruction.
Really the most remarkable fact In mod
ern economic history is that railway man
ayers should still cling to the power to
discriminate between purehAsers-that they
should still insist that Smiths dollar is not
as good as Jones dollar when II comes 20
buying transportation, The fact that rail-
way earnings, both gross and net. business
conditions being equal, always increase
when discrimination Is not praeticed,
clearly proves that discrimination is not to
the interest OF those who have invested
their money in the railways.
Discrimination In rates is the practice
that has brought to the railways nearly all
their troubles II Is an unfair business
method. IL is an abuse OF power to the In
jury OF all for the benefit Of a few. IL is a
denial OF equality. The agitation against II
will not cease until II 10 stopped absolutely
and forever.
