Builders from every part of the United

in every case be within $3.50. Moreover,
the exhibit will not be followed by the

{, Another True 6lograpty"; 1.-THE True
Henry Clay This Time.--One by one the
great Of the nation are being exposed in
the light that hides nothing. Penn,
Washington Lincoln, Jefferson and sew
eral others have been subjected to the
k-rays of the writer's Of true biog-
raphies." and now Joseph M. Rogers
shoots the rays thru and thru and around
the record of Henry Clay. Mr.. Clay's
record and character, however, come out
of the test scarcely harmed. The most
serious defect in the statesman from the
standpoint Of the public is disclosed by
Mr.. Rogers thus: y @:%aa e"
Henry Clay lacked one essential Of po-
litical leadership-fxity of mind. This is
no railing accusation against him; 1t may
nave been one of his greatest virtues. The
fact remains that in politics as in war,
continuity of purpose, and absolute in
iexlpillty OF will are more apt to win
than changes Of 'front.' to meet shifting
conditions TfE tI4ta%a
AS to Clay's temperament, Mr.. Rogers
says: Sd n. E3ssj
While physically and mentally Clay,
was great, strong man. temperamental-
~ he was constituted like a woman. His
instincts were as a rule unerring; his sec
ond thoughts were apt to be wrong.

one OF the most interesting stories the
! author tells Of Clay is that of what might
be called his "homespun duel" Thrice
Clay participated in affairs of honor" The
homespun duel was HIS second. While
not so important as the third, it shows
something of the character of the man.
Mr.. Rogers says: :; ss>'.,a - ~..
| Clay,s next appearance on the field of
| honor was in reality due to his ardent
championship of American Industries. In
1908 when the foreign troubles and the
embargo were the chief causes of polit-
ical comment. Clay, while in the Ken
| lucky legislature, appeared dressed in
homespun. He had colloquy with Hum
phrey Marshall, then the most distin-
guished of Kentuckians, who was also in
the legislature as a federalist Clay cham
ploned resolution indorsing Jefferson
and his policy, which Marshall opposed
Then Clay went further, and offered q
resolution recommending to all members
OF the legislature to wear homespun. Fol
this he was denounced by Marshall as q

the combatants receiving a slight fles1
wound. The seconds decided that honor
was satisfied, and the pistols were boxet

It will be seen that Mr. Rogers, wheth
er he draws Mr.. Clay just as he was
without an inaccuracy-has put togethe
book that will go far to show the in
quiring mind what kind of man Cla,
was. = '"-,
It should be pointed out, by the way
that Mr.. Rogers says that Clay, tho h

which he made the famous statemen

the most conscientious people in the land
and these cost him the detection.

Private Car Lines to Be Regu-
lated.

In It's last annual report the inter
state commerce commission discusses
the evils that have grown up in connec-
ton with the use of private freight cars.
1t was shown in that report that large
shippers who have gone into the bust
ness of building and supplying refriger-
ator cars suitable for the shipment Of
their own products and for the carrying
of other products requiring similar
treatment in transit have been able to
secure for themselves special conces
sions which contribute greatly to their
success and have proven disastrous to
competitors. The Armour company, for
instance, has a large number Of refrig-
orator cars. These cars are adapted not
only to the shipment Of meats produced
by the Armour packing houses, but.
cars of similar construction owned by
this company are necessary to the sue
cessful shipment. of fruit, vegetables
and other articles.
With the large traffic which the Ar
mour company is able to control as a
lever, that company compels the rail-
roads to use their cars in the carrying,
not only Of Armour's products, but the
products Of competitors and the prod
ucts of other industries. While the
rates Of freight themselves may not be
materially different on their face, as
between the different shippers using
these cars, charges for refrigeration are
so adjusted as to operate as heavy
discrimination in favor Of the Armour
company in the shipment of it's own
products or in the carriage of the
products of other shippers. These
private car companies, however, have,
while enjoying these special advantages,
been able to escape the penalties for
discrimination provided by law.
This private car arrangement has
grown to such enormous proportions as
to be beyond the control of the rail
roads. In fact. the railroads are at
the mercy of large shippers who are
owners Of private cars. However much
the railroads may be disposed to deal
pers in the matter of rates, they are
often unable to do so because Of the
demands made by these large shippers,
who are owners of private car lines.
Subserviency to their demands is made
the price Of future traffic, and the rail
, road must submit to the terms of the
, private car lines or lose their business.
Congressman Stevens of this state,
, who is one Of the most intelligent stu
, dents Of this railroad problem in con-
gress, has introduced a bill to reach
just this difficulty. He proposes to
extend the powers Of the interstate
| commerce commission over the private
: car lines in such a wav as to put q
: stop to this rank and uniustifable dis
elimination between shippers. Mr.
Stevens bill is summarized in. oul
Washington dispatches today. It goes tc
+ the heart, Of the most serious abuses
practiced by the common carriers of the
, country, and this law will be a long
, and important step in that program
of government control and regulation
which is now recognized as the only
alternative for government ownership
