THE RAILROAD RATE ISSUE.

Ray StHnnhrd Baker. initial article
in McClure's Tor November is timely
and throws the subject into popular
form. Its shows the tremendous i'm

highway is the railway, and the terms

all enterprise.
The couplexity and confusion of

few PERSONS. "As for a science oi rntc.

ket. A manufacturer starts III n small
town, but discriminating freich, rates
soon compel him to seek the bi: town
or so under. The little towns are tax
ed for the success OF the big towns and
little men for the success Of the big
ones. Such examples, too, as those
above, are alleged 70 be instances o. a
universal condition in this country.
That this condisiop, dominated by Il
handful O. private persons, cannot
possibly be allowed to continue is the
moral OF Mr.. Bakers article. as il is the
opinion OF President Roosevelt. There
are principles OF justice and order

stratiop and then the attempt to recall
them. The granting OF them IN the

they are the peoples rights. Ten years
ago Nicholas bluntIy told his people
that they had no business to entertain

The following press dispatch from

people. II Is very interesting:
TO the German people the poltiraI
situation after the election in New York
Is impossible Ia understand and the
comments Of the press on The corruption
and bribery will probably do moEe than

would have caused a revolution here,
and charges OF cheating il the count %
votes have never been made against any
party here even during the mCst bitterly
fought contests between socialists and
conservatives.
That anybody could be so degraded
as 10 sell his vote is also considered most
remarkable here. The arguments used
in the United States against municipal
ownership appear most ridiculous to the
German mind because OF the success Of
the principles in many cities here.
