A Puzzllnn Calculation.

We all like to puzzle our brain over
things which give certain and strange
results, but which we cannot explain.
Here's a puzzle that puzzles every
body: Take the number of your liv-
ing brothers. double the amount, add
to it three. multiply the result by five,
add to it the number of living sis
ters, multiply the result by ten, add
to it the number of deaths of broth
ers and sisters, subtract $50 from the
result. The right-hand figure will be
the number of deaths, the middle
figure the number of living sisters
and the left the number of living
brothers.-Canton Saturday Roller.

Communication.
40 the editor: sentinel.

To the editor; Sentinel.
In aDwer to your editorial
in last evenings paper in which you
advocate the. use of diplomacy in
attempting to adjust the freight and
passenger rates to Grand Junction.
L wish to remind you that the old
Board of Directors of the Chamber of
Commerce picked out three of the
brainiest and best men in the city to
get something out of the Railroad
companies by diplomacy and they
drained the fountain. They got a
few concessions but they got it all.
The railroad people told them so and
they have told the people. There
is nothing left for this community to
do but to appeal to the only tribunal
which has jurisdiction to hear and
grant us the rights we are entitled to
and the gloved hand won't do. 1t is
the mailed fist and the fearless asser-
tion of our rights.
For twenty years we have suffered
from the unjust and illegal freight
and passenger rates and during that
time we have used honied words to
secure Justice but we are at the end
The railroads have said so and let us
take them at their word. All their
actions belle their words when they
community at heart
Their policy has been and will con-
time to be to charge all the traffic
will bear, and spend as little as pos
slble
Last year the Rio Grande made
nearly 81. 900, 600 net from their road,
still they haven't spent any money
on their depot here or commenced to
build the one promised us years ago.
And it is to be expected that they will
hold that proposed depot over the peo-
pie as club to prevent suit or have
one dismissed. But it won't work.
II we can get the rates I've are entitled
to we can afford to put them up new
depot every four months and give it
to them and then save money.
If the editor of The Sentinel thinks
diplomacy can do any good let him
suggest name to the new board and
l am sure they will give him proper
credentials and let him try to adjust
Just one rate. Let him try and
arrange with the railroads that when
they make bomeseeker's rate of s25
from Chicago or Missouri River points
TO Washington. Oregon or Idaho that
the same rate shall apply to Grand
Junction. He needn't do any thing
else. How old do you suppose his
Grand children would he before he got
l$t?

THEY ILLUSTRATED THE TEXT.
New England Minister Got Back" at
lmpoIite Congregation.


George Horace Lorimer. the editor
of the Saturday Evening Post and the
author of the Letters of a Self-Made
Merchant to His Son" is the son him
self of a clergyman, and Mr.. Lorimer
told the other day a clerical story that
was, he said, his fathers favorite.
A country minister, according to this
story. arose one Sunday morning to
preach upon the text, Thou art
weighed and found wanting" 1t was
good text. 1t inspired the minister.
He preached for an hour. and there
was still much for him to say.
But his congregation did not relish
so long sermon. The males. one by
one, began to get out quietly, and the
women, as they departed. regarded
one another with scandalized eyes.
But the minister droned on. coming
back again and again to his text,
Thou are weighed and found want
ing" paying no heed to his impolite
flock. Finally, though, four men arose
together and started on tiptoe down
the aisle. This was a little more than
the good minister could stand.
That's right gentlemen he shout
ed after the four, that's right. AS
fast as you are weighed pass out. -

SOUTHERN REPUBLICANS AND
THE NEGRO.

The Republican National platform
virtually favors a Force bill on a re-
duction of Southern representation of
Southern representation in Congress.
Every Southern man who votes for
Roosevelt votes to dishonor and hu=
initiate his own section. That is ond
reason why few white men in tho
South, other than office-holders, will
support Roosevelt.
Mckinley was President five years.
During his successful leadership, there
was no suggestion in a Republican
platform that looked to punishment
of the South and, while this section
did not vote for Mr.. Mckinley, his
administration was more approved III
the South than that of any of his Re-
publican predecessors.
If any white man in the South thinks
of voting for Roosevelt. he should
remember that he is endorsing Book
er Washington social equality, the
Crum appointment, and the suggestion
of denying to the South an equal voice
in the government of the Republic.

WILL THE WAR END SOON?

The military men of the world are
slow in expressing an opinion OF the
probable duration of the war between
Japan and Russia. Those who MADE
predictions when war was first an
nounced turned out to be false
prophets and now al are afraid to
make predictions.
Here comes a North Carolina opin-
ion by a leading cotton mill man,
which is entitled to consideration. We
quote it as follows from the Ruther-
fordton Sun:
"Mr. S. B. Tanner secretary and
treasurer of the Henrietta Cotton
Mills, says the Japanese-R war
has real signs of an early cessation
of hostilities. He gets at it in this wise
A year before the outbreak OF war
the Chinese merchants stopped buy
ing cotton goods. knowing that the
war was inevitable. Mr.. Tanner says
they have begun to buy again and
that his mills have sold more goods
in the last thirty days than in the last
fifteen months prior thereto. Mr.
Tanner seems to think that the
Chinese merchants know the real sit
uation and know when to buy ano
when not to buy. Our friend is one
of the first cotton mill men of the
South, and is as a rule safe in his es-
Inmates. He seems to think that the
cotton crop will not be less than T.
600, 900 bales"
What adds weight to Mr.. Tanners
opinion is that in the early fall OF
1903, Mr.. Tanner bought cotton freely
at the prevailing prices when most
other North Carolina mills waited fol-
lower prices that never came. A mar
who could look into the future anc
tell the price of cotton may be able
to reason correctly as to the close OF
the war between Russian and Japan
and Mr.. Tanner gives the reason fol
the faith that is in him.

DISHONEST JOURNALISM.

Certain Republican papers in New
York printed that they had caused the
bankers in session in that city to be
interviewed in order to ascertain their
preference for President. They pub
lished statements, alleged to be based
upon actual interviews, to the effect
that about two-thirds of the bankers
were for Roosevelt, printing what
were claimed to be the actual poll. 1t
now turns out that very few South
ern bankers were interviewed, only
enough in fact to be able to print a
beggarly half dozen from Maryland to
Texas.
AS a result of such dishonest journ-
alism, an untrue report as to the
standing of the bankers is sent out
from New York, with the deliberate
purpose of giving Roosevelt a strength
which does not belong to him. In
heated campaigns, excess of ZEAL is
perhaps, excusable in a party paper
but no paper is ever to be excused
which thus deliberately sends out an
incorrect report, based unon alleged
attempts by the means of interviews to
ascertain the truth.

MAINE AND VERMONT AS BARON
ETERS.

We warn Democrats not to let the

election just as we warned Republic
cans that the gains they made in Yer
mont did not guarantee Mr.. Roosevelt
another term in the White House,
There is little National significance in
the vote in either of these rock-ribbed
Republican States just as there was lit7
tie in the Democratic State of Arkan7
sas.
When Republicans gained in YER
mont the New York Tribune rejoiced
and said it pointed to Roosevelt's cleo
ton. Now that the Maine gains point
the other way, the Tribune says:
maine is not SO sensitive barometer
as Vermont" Did you ever see an or
gan so put to it? AS a matter of fact
Maine is a better barometer than Ver7
mont, though neither State can be re-
times since the war Maine has elect
ed a Democrat as Governor or to Com
gress. Vermont is as true to the Re-
publican party as Mississippi is to tho
Democratic party. The question OF
the size of the majority in either State
has no practical bearing.
Hear the logical conclusion of the
whole matter, as stated by the parti,
Zan-blinded Tribune:
"Maine's vote only makes more GER
tain a result already Enthusiastically in,
dicated-the decisive triumph eight
weeks hence of the Republican Ma
tional ticket"
If the big Democratic gains in
Maine warrants such optimism in the
office of the Tribune, what might we
not have expected if the Republicans
had made equal gains?

THE REMEDY FOR LYNCHINGS.

The sure and perfect remedy for
lynching is to remove the cause. The
statistics show that in many States
more men are put to death illegally by
lynching than are executed by law.
Only third or less are lynched for
rape. In a country where the law
should be the legally expressed will
of the people, and no law is stronger
than the public opinion that is be-
hind it, it is easy to see that lynchings
are caused by the delays. the techni-
calities, the disparity in the number
of challenges which deprive the State
of any chance to convict in any we'll
defended capital case-with few, if any
exceptions. Despairing of the prompt
and certain infection of punishment
by reason of the indictments caused
by criminal lawyers, whose influence
for long years has been impressed on
legislation and decisions, the people
too often unWisely take the admins
tration of justice into their own hands.
Among the many addresses recon-
mending a change of the laws so as
to make it possible for the State to
convict a guilty man. though ably de-
Tended, one of the strongest is that
of Judge McAlister to the State Bar
Association of Colorado. Among many
citations, he quoted the following from
Chief Justice Clark, of this State, in

Relief for Freight Shippers.

Atlanta Constitutions
Shippers who are intent on securing
federal relief from the mulcting pro-
cess of the railroads through an
equitable logical adjustment of freight
tariff forced by plenary powers con-
ferred by congress on the interstate
commerce commission, Waded through
the presidents letter of acceptance
with a microscope to find how he
stands in the great fight for transpor-
tation justice which is agitating COM
munities and business interests all
over the broad land.
Candidate Roosevelt had practically
promised to say something to the ship
pers' liking, since, in reply to letter
addressed to him by the editor OF
Freight, in which his attention was
called to the fact that the platform
of his party was silent on the whole
subject, whereas the democratic plat
form was strongly pledged to giving
the Interstate commerce commission
genuine regulative authority, he as
sured the writer through Private Sec
rotary Loeb that Il think his (the
president's) reference to the subject

What do the buncoed shippers think
of that? We are somewhat curious
to see the October issue of Freight,
which in it's current issue holds out
to it's readers the dubious promise
that the president will. in his charac-
teristic vigorous fashion, supply the

mendable for that reason.
