TOO BIG 4 JOB.

Mr.. James ]. Hill, president of the
Great Northern Railway. is of the
opinion that Representative Cooper,
who introduced into the House on
Wednesday a bill giving the Inter
state Commerce Commission authority
to fix railway traffic rates subject
to revision by the courts, has cut out
too big a job for the commission. If
what Mr.. Hill says is true it is evil
dent that Mr.. Cooper has but a faint
idea of the subject with which his bill
deals.
In an interview in Chicago, in re-
gard to the bill, Mr.. Hill is quoted
as saying: There are not five men
in the world who could make rail-
road tariffs for this country that would
be just and equitable. Long before
they had completed a single tariff they
all would have died and commercial
conditions would have so changed as
to make their work without avail"
The problem of making just and
equitable railroad tariffs is a much
greater and a vastly more complicated
one than it is generally thought to
be, but is it as great as Mr.. Hill would
have the public think it is? If so, then
we have the explanation of the re-
railroads to pool their earnings,
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to have authority to revise their traf-
fic rates. If that commission couldn't
do the work so that the rates would
be just and equitable it would be a
mistake to adopt that plan for over
coming traffic determinations, and
other evils connected with railways of
which there is frequent complaint.
AS an illustration of the rate-mak-
ing problem, Mr.. Hill gave this ex-
ample: The Burlington Railroad last
year transported 5,6S5, 100000 tons of
freight one mile. A change of one mill
per ton per mile in the rates would
have made a difference of $5,6S5, 900.
A similar slight change in the rates
for the entire country probably would
have cost the people of the United
States $l5OOOO,OOO during the last
twelve months"
If one mill per ton per mile would
make such a vast difference in the
gross earnings of one railroad in a
year, it is easy to be seen that very
slight change in the rates of all the
railroads of the country would be
sufficient to bankrupt the roads if
made against them and, if made in
their favor, to cause financial dis
tress to shippers. AS presented
by Mr.. Hill it looks as If the railway
problem had become almost too big
for Congress to handle

There was one Consolation.

People who are always worrying
about the world coming to an end
should console themselves with one
reflection, says the Chattanooga
News.
The late Squire J. A. Holtzclaw told
a story about a planter, in the days
before the war, who sent his slave Sam
to look over the plantation after a
heavy frost and see what damage had
been done Sam came in about noon,
with a dreadful tale to tell.
How about the cotton, Sam?" ask
ed the master.
ooh, masser, hits done ruint."
81 was afraid so; how about the
corn?"
Hits ruint, too, masser."
"Oh, mercy upon us! Well, how
about the wheat?"
Hits froze plum ter def, masser."
''Well, good Lord. Sam, I hope the
COOLERS are not hurt"
Dress yer heart, masser, dey'se
froze as black as yer hat"
"Oh, Sam! your old master is ruined.
Isn't there anything good you can tell
me?"
Eyes. masser, dere's one conserla-
ton"
Tell me what it is, quick, Sam, for
heavens sake tell me, for if there's
any consolation I need it bad!"
''Well, masser, Use done ben all ober
de neighborhood, an hits gineral.
Everybody say So"
When the world comes to an end it'll
be so blasted gineral that misery will
have a great deal of company.

In an address that he recently de-
livered on the labor question, w.
Bourke Cochran told a story of his
boyhood, says the New York Tribune.
Il was born in Ireland" he said,
land in Ireland 1 obtained a part of
my education. l remember we'll a
school fellow of mine named Michael,
a lad who was always talking about
trouble and always looking for it. We
are on the question of trouble now, and
therefore in Michaels experience lit
may be that there is something to
profit us.
Michael boosted constantly that the
master was afraid to fog him. Why?
Oh. because his father had said that If
hand was ever laid upon the boy
there would be trouble. But one day
Michael misbehaved. and the fiogging
due was not long in coming.
THE boy went home indescribably
enraged. He sought out his father.
Father he said. didn't you say
that if the schoolmaster ever licked
me there would be troubles?
Il did, the father answered.
Well, was licked to-day, and only
for throwing paper pellets about the
room
THE father frowned.

promise he said. There is going to

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York World (Dem) says:
Nothing more deliciously humorous
has been seen on the national stage
this season than President Roosevelt's
modest refusal to talk denomination
with members of the Republican Ma
tional Committee. He was always glad,
said the report, to talk with visitors
about the official business of the ad-
ministration, but the question of his
nomination next year must be left to
the people, and it would be improper,
or at least indicate, for him to dis
cuss it even with party leaders who
Odell and Platt, Quay and Hanna must
enjoy this beautiful 'play'
The New York Times (Dem) says:
THE question how Mr.. Roosevelt
stands in the West is one of deep in
terest. Not long ago it was in that
quarter that his name excited the great
est enthusiasm among the people. Has
he held his own? If in the Republican
party some powerful and rich interest
should oppose the denomination of Mr..
Roosevelt his colored delegates might
be bought away from him. There are
some Northern states, too, in, which
under skillful political leadership, dele
gates secretly or openly pledged against
MIN LillBul De sent TO the convention.
The position of the West, however,
is the point of chief interest and inn
portance. If he has lost strength and
If he is still losing, where will be look
for his support and his triumph"
The Houston (Tex.) Post (Dem }
says: The Philippines continue in a
markedly anomalous condition. Ac-
cording to our Supreme Court, they be-
long to us and yet they do not. They
must recognize our authority, civil and
military, yet the impossible Dingley
tariff rates prevents unrestricted trade
relations with US. And meanwhile the
administration is pushing a bill de-
creasing Cuban duties one-ffth, I'M
der the guise of reciprocity, but real
ly to enable the American Sugar Re
timing Company to get large part OF
its raw product at a reduction amount
ing TO something like sS.00OO0O per an
mum. Neither the Cubans nor the
American public will benefit. The lat
ter will pay just as much for It's re-
fined product while the islanders will
get no more for the product OF their
plantations. As for the Philippines.
they'll be damned II they do and damn
ed n they don't. They pay their money

It's choice"

st. Saturday.
From St. Nicholas.

from SI. NlCnOldS.
oh, Friday night s the queen of nights,
because it ushers in
The Feast of good st. Saturday, when
studying is a sin,
When studying is a sin, boys, and we
may go to play
Not only in the afternoon, but all the
llvelong day.
ST. Saturday-so legends say-lived in
the ages when
The use of leisure still was known and
current among men;
Full seldom and full slow he toiled,
and even as he wrought
He d sit him down and rest awhile,
immersed in pious thought.
He loved to fold his good old arms, to
cross his good old knees,
And in a famous elbow chair for hours
he d take his ease:
He had a word for old and young, and
when the village boys
Came out to play, he d smile on them
and never mind the noise.
So when his time came, honest man,
the neighbors all declared
That one of keener intellect could bet
ter have been spared;
by young anu Olu ms loss was mOurneQ
in cottage and in hall,
For if he d done them little good, he
d done nc harm at all.
In time they made a saint of him, and
issued a decree
Since he had loved his eases so well,
and been so glad to see
The children frolic round him and to
smile upon their play
That school boys for his sake should
have a weekly holiday.
They gave his name unto the day, that
as the years roll by
His memory might still be green; and
that's the reason why
We speak his name with gratitude, and
oftener by far
Than that Of any other saint in all the
calendar.
Then lads and lassies. great and small,
give ear to what l say
Refrain from work on Saturdays as
strictly as you may:
SO shall the saint your patron be and
prosper all you do
And when examinations come he'll see
you safely through.

GEORGIA SYRUP AT THE FAIR.

A feature of the Georgia exhibit at
the st. Louis Fair will be her far
famed syrup. Preparations are being
made to let the world know that this
syrup is the best in the world. better
than Vermonts maple syrup. Not
only will there be an abundance of it
on exhibition, but it will be offered
free to all who wish to sample 1t in
connection with corn cakes.
This purpose to let the world know
what a good thing the Empire State
of the South has in her sugar cane
syrup is an excellent one Gradually,
but surely, the excellence of this one
of her products is gaining recognition.
The market for it is all the while be-
coming greater. The price of it is
keeping abreast of the widening mar
ket. Those who use it once never
want any other kind of syrup. And
Georgia can supply the demand for it
even if it's fame should become as
great as that of the Georgia peach.
All of the southern counties of the
state are well adapted to the cultiva-
ton of sugar cane, and the cane is
crop that pays better than cotton
when anywhere near a reasonable
price can be obtained for the syrup
made from it.
Heretofore the price has been kept
down because of the crude methods in
making it, but now these methods are
being abandoned for better ones, and a
grade of syrup is being made that
leaves nothing more to be desired in
an article of that kind.
1t is said that the Georgia cane is
richer in saccharine than the cane
try, and it is probable that the syrup
from it is better because of the more
bracing climate in which it is pro-
duced. 1t is a fact that the oranges
OF Florida are the best in the world
The reason is no doubt the touch Of
cold weather they get now and then
when they are maturing. Georgia's
syrup is destined to occupy the same
place among her products that Flori-
da's oranges occupy among the prod
ucts of the latter state.
There is no reason why syrup
shouldn't be one of the greatest
sources of this states wealth. There
is an increasing market for it, All that
is necessary is that its virtues should
be made known. The advertisement
that is to be given it at the st. Louis
Fair will no doubt be worth more to II
than the state will spend upon her
exhibit.

THE FATHER OF MEXICO.

The people of Mexico have come to
regard President Dorfirio Diaz as the
| father of the country, and he is evil
| IDENTIFY much impressed with the same
view of the matter. The paternal po-
sition held by Diaz will be the better
understood when it is known that he is
preparing to lay down the burden of
officeholding and yet at the same time
keep a string tied to the presi-
dency so that in the event of an
emergency arising he may immedi-
ately resume the executive office and
prevent serious harm Detailing the
country.
Up to this time Mexico has had no
Vice President. President Diaz has
recommended, which is equivalent to
ordering, that an amendment to the
constitution be adopted. creating the
office of Vice President and defining
its functions. 1t is to be written in
the new law that during the absence
or disa bility of the President, the Vice
President shall discharge the duties
Of that office, until such time as the
disability is removed. When the new
law becomes of force President Diaz
will have himself again elected Presi-
dent and his trusted friend and lieu
tenant, Senior Limantour, elected Vice
President. Then Congress will give
President Diaz an indefinite leave of
absence and Limantour will become
the President de facto. 1t is under
stood that President Diaz will visit
Europe and probably establish himself
comfortably there to spend his declin-
ing days. But If, at any time, Senior
Limantour's government should be
harrassed or embarrassed, President
Diaz, who would keep constantly in
touch with Mexican affairs, would re-
turn Immediately to his capital and as
sumo the reins of government.
President Diaz is now about eighty
he has governed his people. And so
we'll has he governed that the country
is prosperous and progressive and the
people are devoted to him. There is no
doubt that President Diaz could if he
wished hold the office for life, and it
seems that it is in his mind to keep
himself connected with the govern
ment IN an executive capacity for life.
Some time ago he said in an inter-
view that the Latin race needs a
strong, personal government" such as
he had endeavored to give Mexico.
But, while Diaz has ruled with a firm
hand, he has done it gently and wise
ly. He will be remembered as one of
the greatest men of his country.

Senator Lodge of Massachusetts de-
MES that he ever advocated the pur-
chase from France and annexation of
the Islands of Miquelon and st. Pierre,
off the coast of Newfoundland. The
story was that France was anxious to
sell the islands, since they were no
longer productive of a revenue to her,
and that Senator Lodge advocated their
purchase by the United States on the
ground that they would be of use to
American fishermen. The Senator's de-
NAL will be accepted, of course, but
suppose France really wants to sell;
it would be interesting to know if the
Senator would hold the Monroe Doc
trine to apply in the matter. The is
lands are in the mouth of st. Law
renee bay, adjacent to Canadian terri
tory. Would we be willing for Eng
land to buy them and turn them over
to Canada?

bers of the Republican National Com
