preparation bills among number of COM
mittees. Mr.. German and Mr.. Spooner con-
tended that the change had resulted in a
vast increase in the cost of conducting the
government. Mr.. Hale agreed that in re-

Mr. Gallinger defended the present sys-
tenn, saying that there had been no waste
fulness or extravaganza under it.
Mr.. Hale moved to strike out the pro-
vision for the punishment of persons who
may use a symbol modelled after those of
the weather bureau for calling attention to
private weather forecasts. saying that the
penalty of Imprisonment and fine was alb
surdly severe. He said he had received

The agricultural bill went over uncom-

Russian Papers on the War.

Reviewing the twelve months of war, the
ST. Petersburg newspapers, with the single
exception of the Nasha Shisn, do not dis
play discouragement, though they frankly
record the almost unbroken series of re-
verses.
The Bourse Gazette in a remarkable ed
itorial goes to the length of saying that
while Russia has not won a victory the
luster of the Russian arms is not dimmed
and, therefore, Russia can without humiI-
fation discuss the possibility of termina-
ton of the war. seeking peaceful and
honorable adjustment on the basis of a
satisfactory understanding between the
two countries chiefly concerned in the
destinies of Asia.
The Russ says: The colossus is be-
ginning to stand on it's own legs, spurning
the bureaucratic clay which has been ar
tificially imposed on it. AS soon as the
colossus finds the full use of it's own
limbs the question of war or peace will
be settled without difficulty

per cent This is a blow. In rural
communities those who drink cider
at their parties are regarded as good
and refined, while those who drink
plain old beer are not really despect-
able. This is not so bad after all when
we consider that of all the breweries
in Colorado only one has the credit
of turning out beer made from old
fashioned hops All others are acid
concOctions sufficiently muriatic in
tone and taste to kill woodchuck."
The above quotation is from the Den
yer Field and Farm. The man who
penned that must have been mapping.
pure sweet apple cider" does not con-
tain a particle of alcohol and it is an
inexcusable blunder to allege that the
government experts have said so. They
never said anything of the kind. What
is known as hard CIDER does contain
alcohol and in some cases perhaps as
large a per cent as here mentioned.
But this hard CIDER" sometimes
called apple wine," shows this alco-
hol only after fermentation takes
place. This fermentation goes through
two stages. The first, which generally
lasts from six months to year, pro-
uuCS0 dlCOuOl, Wu1l0 tuS SCCOuu, WulCu
lasts about as long, results in the pro-
duction of vinegar. Neither the pure
sweet" apple juice nor the vinegar has
a drop of alcohol in a barrel. There
are methods of keeping the apple
juice from fermenting, and so long as
that is done it is a very healthful
beverage and will not intoxicate any
more than pure water. Whether the
statement about the beer manufac-
tured in Colorado is correct I do not
know, but if it is this may account
for the great decline in the price of
hops. If muriatic acid, stumps of
cigars and other kinds of filth can
be used in making beer then hops
must take a back seat till the price
comes down.

western states have no patent on the
artificial watering of the soil. The
query is made why the Mississippi val
ley farmer, having a soil equally rich,
should not secure equal benefits from
irrigation. The main point in the
whole matter is overlooked, |. e., the
fact that the soil of the Mississippi
valley is not exactly susceptible to the
process of irrigation, while the soil on
the arid plains of the west is. Many an
eastern farmer has the mistaken idea
that irrigation is the whole thing, when
the real source of the great productiv-
ity of this western country lies in the
quality of the soil, the irrigating pro-
cess being merely the means adopted
to stir it into life. There is no deny
ing that the Mississippi valley is a
productive country, but to attempt to
make irrigation general there would
not enable the farmers to attain the
results aimed at. In the west the alb
sence of rain in the arid districts
makes it possible to use irrigat1ng
water with knowledge that there will
not be too much applied to the soil.
In the middle west this is impossible,
for a heavy downpour of rain may
come within an hour after a good ir-
rigation has been applied from the
bitches, thus flooding the land and
running the growing crops. More
over, the soil in the middle west diff
fers in composition from that in the
far west and is not able to receive such
benefits from artificial irrigation as is
possible in the west These are i'm
portant considerations of which to
make note when comparing the two
sections.

The Law and Railroad Rates.

ne Law ana ftdllTOdu ndtCSs
There is today much discussion
about the railroad rate question, but
we doubt whether there is one man
out of dozen, except railroad officials
and attorneys, who would know just
what it is all about. Many are -clamor-
ing for the interstate commerce COM
mission to fix railroad rates, but 1t is
hard to see where they can do this
without discriminating against differ
ent sections. Rates are made by local
conditions and the interstate COM
merce commission is not supposed to
comprehend local conditions. If 1t
were to set an arbitrary rate for the
entire country it would be a greater
discrimination against sections than
the railroads themselves have ever
perpetrated.
We are not DESTROYS of being thought
anxious to uphold the railroad in
terests, but it has occurred to us that
the rebate question and the rate ques'
ton have become so greatly confused,
in the mind of the public, that little
explanation of the two may not be out
of place. The rebate is an exaction
from the railroad company, generally
made by shipper who pays a certain
figure as freight, afterwards getting
back part of his money without any
one but himself and a few railroad
men knowing it. 1t is possible only
where there is competition in trans
portation, and it is unjust to the rail-
way companies. In legislating against
rebates, Congress would have the
assistance of the railroad companies
or rather has had it, for the law seems
to do now all that law can do to pre-
vent an act which is always secret.
In legislating on rates, Congress, it is
claimed, is assuming dangerous
powers and arraying the entire rail-
road interest in opposition.
The freight charges in this country
are we'll known to be extremely low
compared with those in other coun-
tries, and are pretty steadily declin-
ing Not many complaints have been
made to the interstate commerce COM
mission or to the courts that rates are
intrinsically unreasonable, and of
these complaints few have been SUI
stained by the commission, and it has
been said that not one has been SUI
stained by the courts.
The common complaint is that
rate is unfair in comparison with some
other rate-usually the rate to some
other point. The determinations be-
tween individuals are usually affected
by rebates. The rates complained of
are usually determinations between
localities. The law already forbids
these so far probably as it is safe to
forbid them. To legislate further
would not, it seems, tend to remedy
the evil, but to aggravate it. The bet
ter plain would be to enforce the laws
that already exiSt
