To Restore Old Rates.

few weeks ago the RCck Island
Burlington and Milwaukee roads an
nounced reduction in freight rates
between the tri-cities and Chicago
amounting to about ; cents per hum
dred pounds. This was on first-class
freight, which was cut from 46.43 to
43, and there was a corresponding
reduction in the 10 classes which grad
uate to 10 cents per one hundred
Shippers in other towns heard of
the concession made at this point,
and they demanded similar treatment
The Northwestern road. which seems
to have been pressed the hardest of
any to meet the cut between Clinton
and Chicago, protested TO the manage
ments of the three reads entering
here, threatening that it would start
something that would amount to
more than , cents hundred if old
rates were not restored between nere
and Chicago. The Rock Island. Mil
waukee and Burlington scented a
rate war, and forthwith decided on
course looking to the preservation of
peace, with the result that the local
representatives Cf the three roads
have orders that the original rates
Will be effective Nov. II.

Town Tales.

\ Rcck Island citizen had an expert
ence on a recent trip to the Beau-
mont oil fields, in which he is interest
ed, that he is not telling outside the
family circle.
He purchased from a local agent Il
through trip ticket. At Kansas City
he had to change lines. His train from
this point stopped at the union depot,
but the road on which he was to be
a passenger to his destination had an
independent station in another part
of the city. a transfer. hack line is
operated between the stations. His
ticket called for free ride in this
hack Having but 10 minutes in
which to make connections, he hur-
riedly inquired at the depot where he
could find the conveyance. He was
directed to it. and took Il seat. He
was the only passenger.
Presently the hack started. Ten
minutes passed, but the station was
not in sight The driver knew his
business. of course, and the Rock Isl
andcr felt there was no occasion for
worrying.
Ten minutes more passed. The pas
,cnger grew restless, and just as he
was hracing himself to shout at the
driver the wagon was drawn into Il
barn
Surely this is not the ------
railroad station said the excited ISL
anGer
''Well, l should say not" was the
reply. This is our stable. l did not
know | had a passenger
The Rock Islander was incensed.
He demanded satisfaction, and was
finally referred to the office of the
manager of the transfer company,
who pacified him by paying for his
meals and lodging at a hotel until
next morning. when there was anoth-
.er train cut of Kansas City for Beau

win Consolidate shipments.


The Rock Island has effected an
agreement that will overcome annoy
ing delays suffered by Davenport and
Moline shippers of freight to Chicago.
Until now the Moline tonnage, many
times amounting to only a few thou
sand pounds. would be placed in a car
and sent to the local station to wait
transfer to a car containing the Rock
Island shipment and sent on to Chi
cago. The same process was followed
in regard to Davenport tonnage. The
consequence was that freight from
Davenport and Moline would in the
ma iority of instances reach Chicago
day late, for the reason that it would
arrive here after the departure of the
local car. The plan now agreed upon
is for the daily consolidation of the
tri-city tonnage, that from Daven-
port and Moline TO be switched to the
local freight depot before 400 p. IN.
Here it win be transferred from the

One day, shortly before the trial,
he visited the lad in the Jail.

SO right out in court. Don't fear the
big fellow. If ne is the one who com
mitted the theft say 50. He will do
you no harm. We are your friends

The boy finally admitted that his
companion planned and executed the
theft ola
Judge Graves naturally sympathized

more anxious to clear him since his
companion was endeavoring 10 place
the whole blame ON the lad.
The day Of the trial came. Harvey

on the stand.
"Now, Harvey. tell the court what

"A 36-acre tract will be cut up into
lots of about an acre and allotted for a
term Of 999 years" said Mr.. Boyd. The
land is very valuable but the Gov
eminent does this because 1t recog-
nizes that the Hawaiians are entitled

REPUBLICAN HONESTY.

The Republican party stands for a
free ballot and an honest count, Its
record in this particular is established
SO firmly in mainland history that hon
esty at the polls has become synony-
nous with Republicanism.
The strength, the power of the Re
publican party is founded on honesty,
Its unfaling protection of the fran
chise and the right of every citizen to
vote and have his vote counted. As
the Republican party of any State, Ter
ritOry. county or city leans away from
this historical standard or allows it
self to fall complacently into methods
OF corruptionists just so quickly does
1t exchange decency for disrepute, con-
fidence for doubtful stability.
A party may say what 1t pleases Of
its integrity OF purpose, the grandeur
of its history and its principles, tho
superiority OF its candidates; If II gains
reputation for trickery bordering on
absolute dishonesty in dealing with the
| ballot il Is gone in any community
that has regard for deCenCy and honest
citizenship. Intelligent. thoughtful
men know that those who can regard
with Indifference irregularities in the
ballot, are doubtful quantities in deal
ing with graft and its kindred evils.
The Oahu county election just closed
has produced a wealth Of charges point
fIg to corrupt practices in handling the
ballots that cannot be passed over
/ lightly. The disastrous effect of these
assertions are not confined to the Ha-
waiian-A American or the opposition
party by any means. Thoughtful, hon
est straight-yoting citizens feel that
/ the charges are of such a character as
to do more damage to the Republican
party in future elections than could
possibly be brought about by incompe-
tent or even corrupt county officers.
The charges Of irregularities in the
ballot which were first heard last year
are redOubled this. The people are sat
isfied that up to the day Of the election
every act in dealing with the ballots
was strictly straightforward. The vital
doubt is connected with election day
events.
II the Republican party allows these
charges to pass without thorough in
Nesiigation, without turning the rascals
out il any are to be found among cleo
tion officials ii means certain defeat
in the Territorial and county elections
OF next fail.
The Bulletin does not believe the Re-
publican party should wait for the
Home Rulers to make the attack. Re-
gard for its reputation for party integ-
rty. which is the best and only safe
guard Of party power demands that
the Republicans themselves shall act.
Secretary Garter, prospective Governor
and consequently head of the Republi-
CGn party. set an example for honesty
and fair dealing. He has announced
his Intention Of doing away with bias
lrhcmOus characters who stand sponsor
tor political treaChory in his appoint
meHts to public office. That Is Repub-
lICanism. Il inspires confidence. II
there has been any crooked work in the
county election, Republicans are the
men who should ferret II out, not al
lowing imputations 10 be used as a
whip in the hands of Home Rulers TO
d.scredit Republicans and defeat the
party In the next election.
