Sherman decided to capture Savan-
nah in any event on the 18th Of De-
cember and sent to General Hardee a
demand for the surrender of the city.
This demand was refused, and Sher-
man prepared to lay siege. Hardee
had no intention Of remaining until he
was shut in by overwhelming forces,
and Sherman, fearing that the foe
would escape, sailed away to Hilton
Head, up the coast from the mouth Of
the Savannah river, where there was a
large force Of Federal troops. Suppos-
ing that Hardee would attempt to 60
north to Charleston, he hoped to inter-
pose a force in South Carolina to cut
OF the retreat.
Meanwhile Hardee got out Of the
net, safely removing his troops and
light artillery, and made his way to
Charleston unopposed. When Sherman
rot back to the lines on Dec. % he
found his troops occupying Savannah.
His telegram to Washington announc-
ing the capture was made public on
Christmas eve and led to great rejoic-
ing, although the escape Of Hardee
was a disappointment to the army.
Sherman said that when Hardee re-
fused to surrender the city there was
no way out but bloody assault or the
complete Investment Of the place, and
while he was occupied in efforts to
close the last avenue the enemy slip

The President on Railways.

In recently calling our readers atten-
ton to the noticeable awakening of the
public mind and conscience in the rural
districts on the subjects OF political cor
ruption or "boodling" and the domi-
nance Of public affairs by corporate in.
fuences, we noted the emphasis with
which the voters at the November cleo
ton indicated that, as between Presi-
dent Roosevelt and congress, sbouldany
difference arise, they would align them
selves with the President In view Of
this demonstrated popularity of Mr
Roosevelt as party and public leader,
it will be interesting for farmers to ex.
anime what the President says on one of
these great questions in his annual mes
sage, sent to congress last week Here
IL a suggestive passage:
Above all else, we must strive to keep
the highways of commerce open TO all
on equal terms and to do this it is nee
cessary to put a complete stop to all
rebates. Whether the shipper or the
railroad is to blame makes no difference;
the rebate car and private terminal
track and side-track systems must be
stopped and the legislation of the fifty
eighth congress which declares it to be
unlawful for any person or corporation
to offer. grant, give solicit, accept or
receive any rebate concession or dis
elimination in any respect Of the trans
portion of any property in interstate or
foreign commerce whereby such
property shall by any device whatever
be transported at less rate than that
named in the tariffs published by the
carrier must be enforced For some
time after the enactment of the act to
regulate commerce it remained mooted
question whether that act conferred up
on the interstate commerce commission
the power, after it had found a
challenged rate to be unreasonable. to
declare what thereafter should prima
facie, be the reasonable maximum rate
for the transportation in dispute The
supreme court finally resolved that
question in the negative, so that as the
law now stands The commission simply
possesses the bare power to denounce a
particular rate as unreasonable.
While I am Of the opinion that at
present it would be undesirable. if it
were not impracticable, finally to clothe
the commission with general authority
to fix railroad rates, do believe that,
az fair security to shippers, the com-
mission should be vested with the
power, where a given rate has been
challenged and after full hearing found
to be unreasonabl ble. 10 decide, subject
to judicial review, what shall be a

ing degree supervise and regulate the
workings of the railways engaged in
Interstate commerce and such increns
ed supervision is the only alternative to
an increase of the present evils on the
one hand or still more radical policy
on the other. In my Judgment the i'm.
portant legislative act now needed as
regards the regulation of corporations
is this act to confer the power to revise
rates and regulations the revised rate

TEwine Plants in state Prisons

Twine Plants In State Prisons
The farmers of the western states, to
whom binder twine is costly necessity,
will read with good deal Of interest
one or two short extracts from the latest
report OF the wardens Of the state
prisons Of Minnesota and Kansas re-
specting the results Of the efforts Of the
states named to manufacture twine.
Warden Henry Wolfer, of the Mime.
sofa state prison at Saltwater an
nounces In his report for 1908 and 1904
that the twine output of the prison IN.
der his charge has increased from about
$500, 900 pounds to abou. 10000, 900
pounds per annum. and "the increase
in profits to the state. and the farmers
thereof, has grown in proportion" The
past year, he adds, has been the most
profitable for all concerned since the
plant was established" The twine has
been sold to the farmers 1.-Two cents per
pound below the ruling prices made by
manufacturers to jobbers." direct

profit were added, and also the amount
saved 10 farmers because state competi.
tion kept prices down on twine made
by the trust. this saving would be
enormous.
The reports Of Hon E B. Jewett,
warden Of the Kansas state penitentiary
at Lansing, is equally satisfactory to
the advocates Of the state regulation of
twine prices by prison labor competi-
ton, though the Kansas plant is not so
profitable as that Of Minnesota. The
twine plant has been a success" de-
clares Warden Jewett. 1T Is no longer
an experiment, as 1t has been demon
strated that good quality Of binder
twine can he successfully manufactured
at this institution and furnished to
consumers at less price than they can
obtain it from outside concerns" He
goes on to say that there Is more than
money enough on hand to the credit of
the twine plant revolving fund over
and above the $l5O.OOO which was ap-
propristed by the Legislature to keep
the twine plant running to pay the en-
tire cost of the machinery, eqaippiDg
and putting in operation the plant; in
other words, the warden can return to the
state treasurer the $3.50, 1000 revolving
fund and the entire cost Of the plant

Some of the nationality crank news
papers have been hunting around to de.
termine Gus Bach's nationality. The
LEADER always believed that Gus was
a yankee. He came to Yankt ton about
the time the Mennonites captured the
town and Captain Brauch always
thought Gus was Russian in disguise.
One newspaper claims that Gus is a
distant relative of Hamlet. the Royal
Dane. still another thinks he is related
to Hendrick Hudson, but the LEADER
sticks to Connecticut.
