The railroads have Just won out in
one important matter vitality affecting
their interests. There has been so
much talk of eXtravagant expenditures
for carrying the mails on railways
that President Roosevelt ordered an
investigation made by Mr.. Robb, the
attorney general for the Postufiice de-
partment, and other officials. These
gentlemen have completed an exhaus.
tive inquiry into the expenditures OF
about S40,OO0000 wear for carrying
the mails on American railways, made
under the direction of Second Assis
tant Postmaster General Shallenber-
ger, and their report, now in the
hands of the President. exonerates Mr.
Shalienberger and the railroads from
the charge of eXtortion or collusion
and finds that the expenditures are
not exorbitant and are wisely made
This has been a fruitful subject of
discussion of recent years. and the
statement has been frequently made
in the press and in speeches in Con
gress that the railroads were robbing
the government and had their own
man" in the postofiice to give them
favorable contracts. In view OF the
findings of the Presidents commi i.
sion these charges are not likely to
attract SO much attention in the fu-

1t is argued by the Glohe-Democrat
that since Missouri has gone Republi.
can there is no longer any valid rea.
son why Missouri farming lands OF
the best quality should bring lower
prices than similar lands in adjacent
states. Missouri has become Repub,
lican state and is not likely ever to
revert to the old Bourbon conditions.
At the worst 1t will be debatabie polit-
ically, and consequently enterprising
land buyers will be willing to move in.
The only explanation of the com,
paratively low price OF farming lands
in Missouri is that the hidebound po-
litics of the state has repealed agricul.
tural investors transportation facil-
tiles are as good In Missouri as in iii.
nois or Iowa. Its navigable rivers are
unequaled Few migrating farmers go
South, and reduced number have
come to Missouri because 1t has been
classed with the south. and voted that
way for a third OF a century. Missouri
is not necessarily and perpetually tied
to Bourbonism. The Republican ma.
1ority in the state lis worth tens Of mil.
lions to its people. In addition TO the
blessing Of better govern
