President Roosevelt transmitted TO
Congress, in which it was shown that
from personal investigation there was
an earnest wish on the part of all the
republics to enjoy railway connection
with their great elder brother of the
North to whom they sell 50 per cent
more products than they buy from
him. At this recent meeting, III. u.
Davis, Chairman, said:
Several of the republics are now en-
gagged in constructing railroads which
will serve as links in the chain. while
others are making surveys which can
be used in the further construction OF
the main line. Before the railways
were built between the United States
and Mexico about 10 per cent only
of the imports and exports of Mexico
was with this country; but now nearly
the entire commerce of Mexico Is with
the United States. We buy from the
Central and South American republics
much more than we sell to them, only
about 20 per cent. of their import trade
being with this country. steamship
lines from South America to Europe
now largely control this trade. When
the Pan-American railway is built,
however, no foreign power can ever
successfully interfere or compete with
us i'm our trade relations with the
republics south Of us.

Monarchies Oppose Republics.

at is not natural for monarchies to
love republics. We know that
coalition of European monarchies,
under the name of the Holy Alliance,
tried to prevent the Spanish colonies
from becoming dependent. And we
know. too, that long afterward efforts
were made to restore monarchy on
this continent Monarchial countries
want the trade of republican coun-
tries. but they do not want to encour-
age republican institutions and free
government. The United States wants
the trade of the republics south of us,
but it also wants TO see them continue
as free republics. Its friendship and
its help they can depend on for that
purpose.

Present Laws Should Prevent
Rebates.

Human ingenuity cannot find any
more explicit prohibition of rebates
than the present laws contain. What
is the sense of multiplying prohibitions
that do not prohibit? How
can you prevent a thing that many

are trying TO obtain for themselves,
and about which the community has
haZy or underlined views?

of some individuals, and these indi-

fooled into thinking the trusts good II

good. so long we shall have these

Public Opinion Always Supreme.

Laws are enforced by the pressure of
public opinion behind them. There is
little pressure of public opinion behind
the enforcement of law against re-
bates. The part of the people that
suffers from the results OF rebates does
not know why it suffers, and the part
that does know does not care, because
it either gets or hopes to get rebates
for itself: hopes to get them ana tries
in all possible ways to get them. 1t
is a painful fact, states Mr.. Russell
that of the men that complain most
often and most loudly against these
conditions. few would admit anything
wrong i'm rebates if they could secure
for themselves the advantages which
they decry in others.

SUES FOR HEALTH OFFICER

The county court of NIonongalia
county proposes to see why the state
board of health neglects to confirm
its appointments of county health Of
ffcers, and has instituted mandamus
proceedings in the circuit court OF
its county against the board
Some time ago the court appointed
Dr. J. W. Hartigan as health officer
but the state board has notcontirmed
the appointment, and under the law
such confirmation is necessary before
the appointee can enter upon the
duties of his Office. DR.. Hartigan
was not the first appointment OF
health officer made by this court, and
not confirmed by the state board of
health. DIR. Naret was appointed
and was turned down by the state
board. Now that the same thing
has occurred in the case of Dr. Har-
tigan, the county court is becoming
DESTROYS of knowing what the matter
is; and as no other method of find
ing out seems apparent, the suit Will
be brought.
The suit NAV be of a friendly ma
ture as there has nothing as yet
been made public why the board has
not made the necessary confirmation.
The suit is interesting because OF ITS
novelty and important because OF the
urgency of having duly authorized
county health office. The board IT
self ought not to wait for such pro-
.ceeding but at once tell the county
court why the confirmation has been
delayed or refused.
