IN RATES.


An organization has been formed or
is forming for the purpose of securing
he correction of the INEQUALITIES in
freight rates that do and have existed
for IL long period of time. Shippers of
freight in central Iowa Will readily adj
nit that there is ample scope for the
operations of a commercial association
of the character suggested, but the rate
interests of the various Iowa cities n
towns are in such diametrical oppose
tion and some enjoy so much preference
that those that would suffer in order
that equality might be established
would not consent to the changes n
alterations that would be essential. For
instance the Mississippi and the Mis-
souri, river points are favored at the
expense of those in the interior of the
state or at least the interior cities are
required to Day rates that are entirely
out of proportion with those exacted
of the river shippers. AS an Illustration

to Omaha at a slight advance over the
charge for carrying it from Chicago to

loo. The river points cannot ask tha.

jobbing and manufacturing interests

ties, and the progressive business men
who have managed them. OF the in
justice of the present tariffs there is
no question. Even railway traffic man
ayers will admit the discrimination
when pinned down to the actuel facts
and conditions. But they will argue
that it is necessary to making the bas-
ing rates at the Mississippi and Mis-
souri, river points and that it is not
possible to avert some inequalities in
the preparation of tariff schedules. Re-
duced to its final analysis this state
ment means that Cedar Rapids. Wat

of he state ought not 20 be located

discomfort. His training has enabled
him to addathe totals of his days wages
together at the end of the week. So
far as any manual righteousness or
any knowledge of special hand labor is
concerned his education IS all to begin.
No wonder he runs a staipler at So per
week.
1t is quite as necessary to keep boys
out of penal or semi-penal institutions
as to reform them after they are there.
The state owes a greater debt to the
boy who is attempting self-support than
TO the one who lacks the moral stamina
to do for himself. There is a crying
need for manual training in our present
schools and for the establishment of in
tdustrial schools for those who have not
earned by incorrigibility the right to
enter the present state Institutions. Too
many boys are growing Up to AXE Jobs
on staplers at SO. What is needed is
some provisiort whereby The respectable
may be given an equal chance with the
disreputable. Boys with en-
ergy and good sense Will continue to
make opportunity as such boys have
done in the past. 1t is the rank and
file. the average boy and those under
the average whose needs are greatest
and whose salvation from poverty and
possible, crime is the manifest duty of
the static.

so that the work of the proposed as
ISOLATION Ices not contain the promise
of relief to those most deserving IL.
That this position is true and unas-
sailable is evident by a statement that
is found in the Dubuque Times to the
effect that the trouble about the whole
matter is that the interests of the river
n the interior jobbers in the matte,
of rates do not harmonize,'' and it sug-
gests that the association ought to ig-
more the rate matter, which is the only
vital one. and contine its efforts to the
regulation of demurrage charges and
car supply. The river shippers want no
agitation of freight changes in behalf
OF the central Iowa cities, which have
labored under the burden of discrim-
ination for years. With the disadvan-
tages which the central portion of the
state has suffered under, as concerns
freight transportation charges. it is
rather remarkable that such extensive

MIGHT LEAD TO ANARCHY,

Mary Moulton Smith, of Lewis In
%stitute. in a talk to a mothers council
in Chicago recently advised that each
family should have a system of cards
whereby the composition of every arti-
Gle of food brought to the table might
be computed readily and quickly. These
cards should contain tables giving the
ingredients and composition of the diff
ferent foods, together with their nutri-
tive value.
Before the breakfast has been pre-
eaten the housewife should add up the
different amounts of piotoid, fat and
carbon hydrate found in h foods" said
Miss Smith. Then IL she discovers
that too much carbon hydrate was
served she should leave off the eggs on
toast, for example, the next morning.
The computing cards Should be used at
every meal. In the evening by looking
them over you can find out whether vol

food or not enough of another.
1T is more important to regard the
composition Of the foods put on our
table than their taste Or flavor. They
may be palatable and yet Injurious. II
they contain the proper ingredients
they are always n%ourishing. Every
woman should have a computer."
The Smith idea will prove as I'M
palatable to the general family as would
meals served on the Smith plan. 1t
opens up possibilities any one of which
would render 1t unpopular and in par
ticular instances lead to riot at the
breakfast table and a scene in the po-
lice court at II o'clock. The conse-
quences of its adoption by hotels and
boarding houses are too evident to dwell
fable assault and battery in the very
thought. Having ordered ham and
broiled steak and toast, and with
properly adjusted as the victim
begins his neal Nemesis IN the shape of
the proprietor armed with a computing
card sweeps down to substitute a stack
of bucks and coffee. Then the hurry
call for the patrol wagon and the breezy
to the station. AS a public institu-
ton Miss Smiths graduated meal scale
is a failure. 1t won't do.
Or in the home where the condiment
OF love should abide as an aid TO appe-
tite and promoter of digestion the
Smith plan will prove an incentive to
incompatibility. When the wife, after
consulting her computing card, orders
the girl TO take away the wage-earner's
steak and potatoes and hing on the an
gel food discord will enter the happy
home. 1t will mean profanity, tears
and eventual alimony. Applied to the
family Miss Smiths idea would cause
outbreak greater thar would a Cum
Minis speech in Cedar Rapids or Bur-
lington. She is a disturbed of the peace
and should be suppressed along with
Herr Most and other anarchists. Her
invention may be calipers for the
measurement of individual capacity.

DECISION ON DlsFRANcHIsEMENT Mt.

The question as to whether the state
of Alabama may by amendment of its
constitution practically 6:sfranchise its
negro population while retaining the
voting privilege for all classes of whites
seems 10 have been aff%irnlatively settled
by the supreme court. AT any rate the
appeal brought before that body asking
that the suffrage clauses of the Ala
bama constitution be set aside as in
conflict with the fundamental law has
been dismissed. The court AYERS its
lack of power to deal with the case as
brought before it, and apparently dis
misses it for want of jurisdiction. 1t
appears that the court considers that
relief granted the disfranchised negroes
by a court of equity would be equivalent
20 an administration OF state govern
ment by the judiciary. This holding
throws remedial action npon congress.
The supreme our considers the
wrongs inflicted upon the Alabama col
|ored citizen by the constitutional
amendments entirely political n a
government to deal with.
The fourteenth amendment to the
constitution denies the right of any
state to make or ENFORCE n law
which shall abridge the privilege or im-s
munities of citizens of the United
States The succeeding article de-
clares "the right of citizens of the
United States to vote shall not be de-
MED or abridged by the United States
or by any state on account of race, color
or previous condition of s~ervitude.
Both of these are part of the fundamen-
tai law of a nation with q big and
have been supposed by the average cit1-
zen to come under the Interpretation
and within the jurisdiction of the SUI
preme court. II these are to be abro-
gated at the pleasure of state legisla-
lures and the political rights, of the ne
gro abridged at will the attorney for
the prosecution seems to ltave argued
pertinently that the thirteenth amend
ment may not long prevent a relapse
into actual slavery.
When the rights of United States
citizens are denied by state legislatures
and redress fails in law It is time that
definite action should be taken by the
la w.uakinp movers Tlle diSfranchiSe-
ment of the negro is Incidental to the
actual question of whether or not the
constitution means what it says. This
is the real question:.
The suffrages of the ignorant and
are a curse to all communities
and the south is perhaps not so much to
blame FOR DESIRING TO cut off a vote
is largely of the ignorant and de-
PRAYED. 1t might be well for the entire
could it's ignorant or criminal
vote be suppressed. In the south, how
ever. there has been no disfranchise-
ment of ignorance or Of crime. but of
color. That this should be accom-
plished in; the face of fundamental law
to the contrary is not TO the credit of
the nation. The question dismissed by
the supreme court should he brought up
again ia another form. There is surely
some wtay to settle the legal status OF q
states citizen in Alabama.

DOES IT PAY TO BE GooD2

AfChicago paper draws a comparison
between two boys, both poor. one good,
the other bad, and considering the OPP
p%crtunities of each, cohciudes that the
bad boy has the best of the comparison
SO far as the rewards supposed to fol-
low virtue are concerned. The good boy
at the age of IA finished his schooling
and lacking a trade is ~cultivating q
stopped back V e a stapling machine at
starvation wages, living on poor food,
lacking proper physical exercise and
opportunities for mental culture. The
had boy as an inmate of a truan school
has received a considerable Industrial
school he receives more manual train
ing, gets perfect physical exercise as a
member of the baseball club or other
gymnastic features of the school, and is
touch with an elaborate library. AT
90 years of age he steps into the world
physically strong and master of an ex-
cellent trade taught him by master
workmen employed for the purpose.
The Chicago paper concludes by asking
why be good?"
1t would be most astonishing If the
state could not do more for n boy of
school age in directing his energies into
proper channels than he might do for
himself. The school where the bad boy
received his education was instituted
not so much as a place of punishment
for his misdeeds as a means of reforma-
ton and cultivation. 1t is one of the
projections of society against itself.
That it sent the bad boy out a capable
tradesman at 90 is not ccndemnatory of
the system, but on the contrary highly
commentators of its efficiency as a
means to reform. II succeeded in max
ing a man from u~npronising material.
When society has done this it has done
well. One such school, offering oppor-
tunity and so far as possible enforcing
and assisting the guttersliipe to become
a useful citizen, is worth a thousand
jails. But If society has paid Its debt
to the bad boy it has failed lamentably
in its duty to the good one. His nine
years of school study Instead of making
life easier and fitting hin, to earn n re-
spectacle livelihood haw, given him The
smattering of knowledge that breeds
