sMAI.T. sHIPpERs PROTECTED.

At last small shippers by the rail-
roads are placed on footing with
large ones. For many years they have
been suffering from Determinations In
favor of large shippers. Indeed. thou
sands of them have been financially
ruined by this discrimination. 1t is
history that the greatest monopoly of
the country was built up mainly on
the ruins of it's small competitors. 1t
grew great and rich upon rebates
which its competitors could not OBJ
tain.
The railroads do not want to grant
rebates or lower rates to big shippers.
It would please them to get their reg
ular rates. 1t has been the practice
of the big shippers to make the rail-
roads compete for their business, and
to give it to the road that offered the
lowest rate, or the biggest rebate. This
may be their practice yet in portions
of the country. but a stop has been put
to determinations against small ship
pers in a large section Of Western ter
ritory.
In our dispatches yesterday it was
stated that a United States Judge In
Chicago had granted a permanent in
junction against fourteen railroads,
prohibiting them from making any dis
ordinations against small shippers. II
therefore rebates or lower rates are
granted to big shippers the same corr
cessions must be granted TO the small
ones.
This injunction is the first granted

The old cat and little ones were car

grocery store waiting to be let in. How
do you account for that? The grocery
was four miles from the brewery, and
the kittens We're too young to walk
even a few yards. If the cat carried
them back in her teeth she must have

miles for each kitten and thirty-two
miles for the entire litter or else she

Holds not a Howard or a Metternich.
BY breeding. Since the walks of life
He never wagged an unkind tale

He never snubbed a nameless cur be-

Without friend or credit card he was.
By pride. He looks you squarely in
the face
Unshrinking and without a single trace
OF either diff1dence or arrogant
Assertion such as upstairs often f1aunt.
BY tenderness. The littlest girl may
tear
With absolute impunity his hair,
And pinch his silken flowing ears the
while
He smiles upon her-yes, I've seen him
smile.
By loyalty. No truer friend than he
Has come to prove his friendships
worth to me.
He does not fear the master-knows
no fear
But loves the man who is his master

More full of honor and of honesties,
In finer head. on broader shoulders

The Defender of Dryfus,

A Paris correspondent paints a pic
ture of NJ. Jaures, the Socialist deputy
who has caused a reopen.ng of the
Dreyfus case.
"EIis speeches are sometimes too
long. His trousers are invariably too
short.
'He looks exactly like Lambeth
carpenter, and when he speaks reminds
one strongly of John Burns, but John
Burns with the learned polish of a
Morley or a Balfour, though the force
of the platform speaker never leaves
him, and, like John Burns again, each
point is emphasized by the dash of a
elenched fist into the open palm of an
extended hand. John Burns, however.
dresses plainly and neatly and in this
NJ. Jaures differs greatly from him.
"Jaures before he speaks and Jaures
in the tribune of the Chamber or up
on the platform are two different men,
IN silence he is squat, uncouth, and i'll
dressed; when he begins to speak the
golden eloquence soon dispels the
rough exterior from our ina gination.
We forget the absurd looking figure
in the short and greasy frock coat, from
which a button usually is missing in a
prominent position. the wrinkled trous-
ers, ugly boots and the half buttoned
waistcoat; we.do not take the slight
est notice of his general appearance of
unkemptness, for Jaures, when he
speaks, has the great power which
thrills each single item in an audience
of thousands and compels the mo-
ment's silence at the end before the
cheering bursts.
He was born at Abb (the glass
workers country, in Auvergne. and
his delight is now to get away from
Paris and spend a few DAVIS +hara
among the dusty, tree bordered streets
of his small, native town. When a. mere
schoOlboy he was fond of making
making speeches, and a friend and
contemporary of his at school has told
me how the awkward looking lad.
whose clothes would never fit him even
then, once held the saunterers upon
the Place d'Albi mute and entranced
for two long hours while he discoursed
to them about the rights of man. on
the occasion Of this first public speech
Of his Jaures was thirteen and ne was
severely thrashed when he got home
for being late for supper"

under the authority of the Elkins law.
which was enacted last winter. When
the bill was under consideration the
impression was that it would not ac-
colnplish anything, and that the small
shipper would be no better off with it
than he was without it. 1t seems,
however, that this view of the bill was
mistake.
The argument that is used by the
large shipper to secure rebates and
lower rates is not a sound one. 1t Is
in effect that because he furnishes the
railroad so much more business he
ought to have lower rate. It is not
a sound argument because it enables
the big shipper to undersel1 the small
shipper and gradually to secure a mo-
nopoly.
The railroad problem, however, is not
solved by the Elkins bill. It simply
protects the small shipper, but it
leaves the railroads at the mercy of the
big shippers, who will continue to COM
pei them to engage in cutthroat compe-
tition. What is wanted is a solution
of the railroad probleA that will In
sure fair and stable rates. Such rates
would be satisfactory to all parties
except the few big shippers. whose
profits come largely from forcing the
railroads to take less than their es-
tablished rates.
