Miss Alice Roosevelt's recent eX- periences should have taught her ear Her in life than that knowledge comes to most people, that it is impossible to please every one, and that it isn't worth while to try. It appears that the Filipinos were very much dis appointed with Miss Roosevelt. They expected to see a princess in royal robes, crowned and sceptered. They saw a girl in a plain white duck out ing suit and a sailor hat. They could not understand it at all, and were in- cIined to think that they were being treated with intentional disrespect. Meanwhile, a number of idiots in America were skrieking over the 'airs of royalty" assumed by the presidents daughter during her visit to the Far East. One set of critics was exactly as worthy of attention as the other. be- cause neither was worthy of any at tention at all. In every nation, every cline on this terrestrial ball." there are always earring idiots, and the man or woman who tries to please them wastes energy

Railroad Ratemaking.

The speech of President Roosevelt at Raleigh on Thursday contained in directly a correction of many state ments which have been made regard ing the coming railroad legislation which will be attempted in the next congress: it also corrects a misappre- hension concerning the Esch-TOwn- send bill which failed in the last con gress.
 Many newspapers, ignOrantly or carelessly, have led their readers to believe that it was the purpose of the Esch- Townsend bill as well as of the bill to be introduced to invest the in terstate commerce commission with the rate making power, and in conse- quence among the uninformed there has been a greater or less clamor for the coming of that day. As a matter of fact, shippers have not generally complained of rates. What complaints have been lodged with the commission have alleged discrimination in some form or another But now and then as in the case of live stock growers who have complained that rates on live stock were too high, not in them selves, but in comparison with the rates allowed packers on their finished products, it has been alleged by one class of producers that they had to pay too much as against another class of producers.
 Concerning the conferring of the rate making power on the commission or some other administrative body, the president had this to say: When complaint is made of a given rate as being unjust or unreasonable, if it finds the complaint proper. then itself to fix a maximum rate which it re- gards as just and reasonable, this rate to go into effect practically at once. that is within a reasonable time, and to stay in effect, unless reversed by our courts"
 So far as rate making is concerned the commission would be invested with little more power than it now has.
 If the proposed law were already in effect the commission would have just
  sonabIe rates. The present conditions are that every traffic manager in the country is being besought to furnish cars for the millions of tons of freight the shippers want moved. The ques- tion of rates is not entering into the conditions at all for shippers in some parts of the country since the begin ming of the month have offered fabu- lous prices for cars irrespective or rates, so that they could get their commodities to market. The railroads today have more cars than they have ever had in their history, the tonnage they can handle is almost beyond be- lief yet the prosperity of the country is such that every car is in service and half as many more could De used
 An odd feature, but one that is Over- looked by many is the basic fact that the scarcity of a product results in an increased price for it. There is nc single commodity in this country to- day in general use so scarce as trans portation. But instead of the price oi it having been increased there has been a slight decrease in general rates

TELEGRAPH EXTENSION

T. P. Smith, constructing superin- tendent of the Western Union Tele- graph company, was in the city a few days since, says the Tombstone Pros pector, and confirmed the report that the company was to build a telegraph line into Bisbee and Douglas. The line will be built across the country between here and Bisbee, and thence to Douglas A large force of men is at work rebuilding the line between Fairbank and Benson, and will soon be at work between the former place and Tombstone Another force is expected to arrive in a few days from the Gila valley, where they have been working on the line there. The com pany intended to build on the right Of way of the E. P. & s. w. from Fair bank to Bisbee but it is understood that the company asked too much for the privilege.

ANCIENT KEYS.
Some Were Ornate and Beautiful
Master Keys to Palaces.

From the Chicago News
In the sixteenth century European iron.
workers produced keys enriched with orna-
ments in relief and treated as works of art.
Nothing could be more graceful than the
embossed figures, coats of arms and gro
tesque arabesques which embellish the
bows, which in this utiitarian age are re-
placed by ordinary metal rings. The keys
were first cast and then chisse1ed by an ex-
pert artisan. The so-called "Strozzi key"
formerly the property of Henri III of
france, changed hands a few years ago for
the enormous sum of $1,000. The bow rep
resents two sphinxes with grotesque heads,
back TO back, on the capital of a column.
The stem is in the form of two concentrlo
pipes; the bit is shredded like a very fine
comb. Another famous key dates from the
beginning of the seventeenth century; the
elaborate bow represents two seated male
ngureS supporting ducal coronet. third
key is exceptionally ornate; the entire
available space is enriched with arabes-
ques, terminating in cupids, reclining river
gods, standing figure of Victory and SINH
lar devices. The stem of this key is sup
ported by figures of a man and a woman.
Under Philip ii of Spain and his sue
ceSSorS the ministers of the crown were
possessed of what the Spaniards termed a
clave maestro, or master key, which gave
them admission to the royal palaces. Dur
ing the reign of Charles ii I1615-1100) gilt
master keys were conferred on the mobiles
and gentlemen in attendance on the king.
These keys correspondent with and gave adj
mission to all the rooms of the royal pail
aces. They had huge, oblong bow handles.
which projected from the right-hand pocket
and were attached to the person by a RIB
bon. The subordinate members of the
royal household were honored with similar
keys, though they were not gilt. 1t is re-
corded that if one of these keys was lost
the unfortunate loser had to warn high
official of the court, who at once had all
the locks changed al cost of over 10000
Spanish dollars. This large sum had to DO
paid by the unlucky individual who lost
the key. Another curious custom in vogue
in the peninsula at that time was the CIV
ing of dummy keys as badges to officials
and to certain mobiles who held no court
post, a mark of favor and distinction.
Egyptian keys still exist that are about
1900 years old. They consist of straight
pieces of wood furnished with three fixed
wooden pins. An ancient writer says that
1.-THE keys of Egyptian temples bore the
figure of lion, from which chains were
suspended having a heart attached to
them" During the Roman occupation OF
Egypt, when iron was in general use, keys
were made of that metal, many of them
having a long. straight shank, or stem,
about five inches in length. with a bar at
right angles TO it, on which are three or
more. projecting teeth. with bow or ring
at the opposite extremity. Another variety
of Romano Egyptian key has a wooden
knob in place of the ring.

DA1NTIEs FOR SINGING BIRDS.

One of the most unusual occupations fol-

who farms and sends to all parts of the
country each year about 1000 quarts of
meal worms, or between 100000 and 1900
600 wrigglers, to be fed to songbirds for the
purpose of Strengthening their voices.
Personal experiment on the part of this
caterer for birds, who is more of natural
list than merchant, has proved that diet
of meal worms, rather than insects. has
power to sweeten the notes Of all songbirds
with the exception of canaries. Canaries
find the worms distasteful and refuse to eat
them.

A Legal Point Raised Regarding Re-

An interesting question has been raised

Issued an order prohibiting all notaries In

viously a source of considerable profit TO
them, being in addition to their regular

without extra compensation.
The question now raised is whether this
practice is not violation Of the statute
which prohibits government officials from
accepting voluntary service under any cir
