The Commoner, Mr.. Bryan's
paper, will be especially interesting
and instructive during the present
session of congress. The action OF
this congress will probably deter
mine the issues upon which the next
presidential campaign will be fought
The Commoner proposes to carry on
a campaign of education and organi-
cation to the end that democratic
principles may triumph.
In addition to the editorial de-
partment, which receives Mr.. Bry.
ans personal attention, The Com
moner contains Current Topic de
partment, wherein non-partisan
discussion of topics of timely inter
est and other valuable information
will be found. The Home Depart
ment is conducted by an experienced
woman who is widely known as a
writer of household topics and who
is an authority on the art of cooking
in all that the term implies. This
department alone is worth the sub
scription price. The other depart
ments of the paper are all interest
ing and ably conducted, among
which is a summary of the worlds
news told in narrative style, and
Mr. Maupin's departfhent-Wheth-
er Common or Not-eontalns origin
al anecdotes and wit, moral lessons in
homely phrase and verse, and APP
peals to old and young alike.
The Commoner as whols is clean
entertaining and instructive, and it's
rapid increase in circulation-now
amounting to 140,000-is proof of
the papers strength and influence.
Arrangements have been made
with Mr.. Bryan whereby The Com
moner can be supplied at very low
rate with THE New DOMINION, both
papers for one year for $500. This
offer applies to both new and renew
al subscriptions, and should be taken
advantage of without delay. All
orders should be sent to the NEW
DOMINION office.

is indicated by a letter which Chairman
L. J. Storey of the commission today
addressed to /. J. Polk, vice president

Spouse to the latter's letter petitioning
an advancement of the rates. The
chairman says. We find that the in

companies to employees viii run from
sS5 coo to $500 600 We are preparing a
letter to railway companies calling for
more information, to the end that we
may be better prepared to determine
whether or not the great increase in
operating expenses is necessary and bet
ter determine whether or not the appeal
for higher rates is justified.

pairs has been turned out with not
only a remarkable change in general

This is said to be the beginning of a
new system of numbering all special
cars which system is to go into effect
Immediately.
AS it is now understood the plan is to
have all specials numbered in regular
order commencing with the president 5

so that if an off1eial's rank is low he
gets a high number for his car. COpl-
mercing with the president as No. 1,
Third Vice President Kendrick is fourth
on the list consequently his ear is num-
bered 4.

THE ELKINs ACT GETS ACTION.
Persons Seeking Factory Sites VIII
Be Required to Pay.

Kansas City, April 1S.-Western rail-
roads viii cut off free TRANSPORTATION to
persons whose business it is to look up
locations along their lines on which to
establish industrial concerns. This de-
cision was arrived at yesterday during
a discussion of the proper interpretat ton
of the Elkins act. It is believed the
principle of the interstate commerce
law which prohibits discrimination and
special rates to shippers for the pur-
pose Of influencing traffic is violated by
giving transportation in aid of this class
of travellers.
The practice has been to issue this
transportation in the past. if not by all
roads, at least by the majority of them,
and the rule which cuts it off viii be
for a time at least a serious inconve-
nience to many people

LIKE MILEAGE BOOKS.
Their Use Is Said to Result in High
Revenues for the Railroads.

Chicago, April 1S.-The annual report
of the mileage bureau of the Central
Passenger association just issued shows
that during the four years of its opera
ton the bureau sold total of 100000
mileage books of the interchangea BILE
type. This is an average of 250, 900
year, and If the books were all used
they represent 1s900.0 00.0 900 miles of trav-
el. These figures show the immense
popularity of the interchangeable mile
age book system The books sold rep-
resent an original outlay of $4,000, 900,
but the figures show that the bureau
paid in rebates on unused portions of
the books total of $40, 600. Accord
ingly the revenue to the railroads from
the use of the mileage books for four
years was $40 600. In this connection
attention is called to the fact that travel
on mileage books is but a very small
fraction of the total travel, and the
phenomenal success of the mileage
book has led many general passenger
agents to believe that they viii ulti-
mately result in cent a mile fare in
all the territory and for the general
public.

Marked Change in the Manage
ment Of Santa Fe StorehOuse.
n. M.Kice, General Storekeeper,
Plans Improvements.
ENTIRELYNEW SYSTEM
All the Material Is to Be Re-
arranged OH Shelves.
Many Other improvements Are
to Be Made.

Since n. NJ. Rice. the new general
storekeeDer. took charge here the store
house has been the scene of many i'm
proyements. Nearly every day num-
bes OF men can be seen at work with
brooIns. others with paint brushes. and
still others are occupied with the sort
ing out of old material and arranging it
in a more orderly and convenient man~
ner. Mr.. Rice is the kind of a man
who likes to have a system about the
way Of doing things, of having a place
for everything and everything in its
place. With this end in view he has
gone to work with a viii and already
great Improvement has been made at
the stOrehOuse-
All old shelving has been torn out.
and carpenters have been put at work
making a new and different kind OF
shelving. The only thing that is him
dering Mr.. Rice's plans is the fact thai
the ceiling and windows of the store
house are not high enough and conse-
Guently the kind of shelving that he
really wishes to have can not be built.
But being thar the StOrehouse was not
built for the shelving, the shelving will
have to be built for the stOrehOuse- The
most important and noticeable improve
ment viii come after the shelving has
been put in and everything has received
its new coat CT paint.
The manner in which things are now
arranged at the storehouse is such that
although each article is marked it Is
very hard to find among the great mass
of other material and consequently il
requires more time to fill orders than
is really necessary. Mr.. Rice plans to
have all this changed. As soon as the
shelves are ready the material which is
now being sorted out will be neatly
arranged on the shelves and a system
of numbering Will be used that will en-
able the men to find almost Immediately
any article that is needed. An index
viii be kept in the Office, and this will
be used until the men get accustomed
to the new system. It is said that the
new system of handling material will
later be worked down to so fine point
that in making acquisitions the article
wanted viii be indicated by the number
of the shelf on which it is kept instead
OF writing out the fun name. as is nov
done.
