AGAINST INCREASED FREIGHT RATES,

Ey-Railroad Commissioner Frank l..
Campbell has filed with the interstate
commerce commission protest against
the contemplated increase in freigh.
rates which the railroads have decided
to nut into force. Mr.. Campbell is a
bright man and close student OF rail-
road problems, and appears competent
to speak with knowledge on this sub
tect. Those who took the pains to read
the explanation of his action In last
evenings issue of the Times Republic
can must have b zen impressed with the
strong showing he made against the
proposed increase of rates. While en-
joyIng the greatest prosperity these
roads have ever witnessed, with ability
to make extensiveimproveme andpay
large dividends, these railroads have
filed with the commission a notification,
as required by law, that they will in
crease their rates from % to 80 per cent.
He believes this is uncalled for and un-
lust to the people, and that the roads
are reaping large enough profits with
out 1t.
He admits that his protest will not
amount to anything, that the interstate
commerce commission is powerless to
do anything. He has asked that the
commission make a demand on the
railroad managers for the reason for
their proposed great increase in rates,
and he states that the commission is in
duty bound to do this.
Mr.. Campbell has succeeded in inter-
esting the public in this question and
the people would be glad to see the
charges he makes probed to the bottom.
Let us at least have the light Of publici-
ty on this subject. with all that may
possibly follow in any corrective that
may be demanded.

The whole thing looks very much like

seven years, makes it look all the more
tricky.
Judge Parker is practically unknown
outside of New York. 1t is not known,
nor can it be determined, how he voted
in 1896 and 1900. He is an adherent OF
the gold wing of the party. Persistent
and unrefuted rumors that he is q trust
candidate. brought forward to unite the
democracy, secure the trust support and
beat Roosevelt, are afioat. No man who
is now, has been, or will be allied with
the trusts, can be the democratic norni-
nee in 1904. Democracy has had trouble
enough without joining out with the
trusts. II she allows even the slightest
familiarity from the octopus, it means
her eternal ruin.

ideas of miltarism, Imperialism and

"the Iowa legislature passed a very
strict anti-cigaret law and it has been
