GOVERNOR ClJNM|NS
BEFORE SENATORS
Must Choose Between Two
Alternatives, He Says.
REGULATE RATES OR OWN
Congress VIII Make Rates or AS
sumo Government Ownership
in Time.
REGULATE RATES OR OWN

Governor Albert B. Cummins, of
Iowa, the most radical Republican of
the Middle West on railroad rate regu-
Iation and tariff revision, was the star
witness today before the Senate Com
mittee on Interstate Commerce.
He spoke his views plainly. yet did
not impress his hearers as such a dan
gerous radical after all. His argument.
in brief, was that If individuals find they
must have redress against extortionate
railroad rates they must not be com
PEELED 10 go TO their opponents to get it.
His conclusions were that railroads
cannot be permitted to become so pow
erfuI that they can dictate 10 Congress.
If the power to fix rates is arbitrary it
must be exercised by Congress or dele
gated to a commission. The only alter
native is government ownership, and
Governor Cummins said he preferred
rate regulation.
The Governors Remarks.
The governor. at the outset. said he
would not take ~ the various methods
proposed for attacking the action OF
the commission through the courts,
save TO insist that q rate made by the
commission shall go Immediately into
effect, unless eujoined by a proceeding
regularly instituted in a court of com
petent Jurisdiction He confined himself
therefore, TO the general inquiry: rs it
wise. in view cf all the conditions which
surround Interstate transportation, To
invest a commission with the authority
TO fix a rate in lieu Of one found to be
unla WfulE'
Existing Law Weak.
THAT the existing law Is fatally weak

and that nothing will cure the defect

erncr. 1T is. however, claimed that the
companies themselves have. in

these discriminating rates, and that Il.
in eny particular instance, they have
erred. they will be quick to rectify their
error
''At this point the Issue Is Joined It is

Card of Thanks.


 On behalf of the widow and family of our late brother, MT. Geo. W. Pearson, The Times extends their grateful thanks to the many friends who attended his bedside and minis tered to him in his last illness, and by their loving attention and sympathy comforted them in their sore distress. They also greatly appreciate the Ma sonic ceremonies, the guard of honor of ex-confederate soldiers, the very beautiful and abundant floral remem- brances, the services of Elder McCord, and the service of song by the choir, composed of Mrs B. D. Hatcher, orga- mist: Mrs. Henry Pettus, Mrs. II. k. Clarke, Mrs. S. H. Mann. Mrs. Chas. II. Sanders, Mr F. (. Nicely, Hon. 0. E. Rollwage and Mr. Nadakin, and to all others who i'll any way assisted in the last sad rites, or otherwise, they are very grateful. That heavens choicest blessings may be showered upon these friends for their loving .kindnesses is sincerely their most ar dent wish.

AN INFIDEL IN TOWN.

MT. H. L. Stoddard, of Cairo, trav- cling salesman, was in the city several days the first of the week. Mir. Stod- dald k an intidel of a very learned and dangerous type. and though his sentimentsar are repugnant to a believer, he talks Interestingly and learnedly of the subject. He quotes the Bible by whole chapters, and delights to an- alyze il in q most sarcastic and scath- ing manner, making one who listens wonder that God does not strike him dead for the unpardonable sin. Mr. Stoddard is apparently very genial and cultivated gentleman, but when he gets started upon his favorite sub- ject, it makes ones flesh creep to lis ten to him. He is the author of work on Phallicism which he claims is unanswerable. and that he has in- vited some of the most learned men to discuss the question with him and that they have frankly acknowledged their inability to do so.
 We think MT. Stoddard has per feet right 10 believe and talk as he wishes, but We also think it sin and shame that he chooses to waste such unusual talents. IL is certainly inex- plicable that men like Brann. who had the greatest vocabulary of any living man. and StOddord who hoe evidently been carefully educated, and has q splendid vocabulary and easy flow of fine English, should abso- lutely. and of their own free will and accord, throw their Godgiven talents away.
