PRACTICE IS A DANGEROUS ONE
Horse Racing on City's Streets Must
Be Stopped.

Since Jackson street has been col =
verted into fine driveway hoi se-fan-
ciers here hsv3 taken it ov9r as race
course as we'll. Every day spirited
horses are raced up and down the street
at breakneck speed, to the danger OF
pedestrians aud especially of school
children, hundreds of whom go that
way to the public schools. There is a
city ordinance prohibiting fast driving,
aud an excellent opportunity is now af-
forded the police to enforce it. Stop
this horse-racing before some child is
run over and killed.

LEAK
IN CABINET
STOPPED

Washington, oct. 19.-The lid is nailed
down on news of cabinet meetings; nailed
down good and tight. Cabinet officers
today received Instructions from Presl-
dent Roosevelt that they were not 10 tell
the press anything of what takes place
at the councils Of the president and his
advisers. 1t was stated explicitly by the
president that not a word must be said.
The explanation of the presidents ac-
ton is hat he was ANNOYED over the
understanding that the people OF the
country had the idea tina cabinet meet
ings were devoted TO the discussion OF
trivial matters. and were seldom of a
serious character.
This. II is asserted by those who ought
TO know, Is not the fact, but an erroneous
impression has become prevalent through
the practice of abine officers OF telling
newspaper men Of unimportant things
talked about at their conferences with the
president in order 20 conceal the really
serious business that engaged their atten-
ton.
1t is understood that at nearly every
cabinet meeting the heads Of departments
present agree among themselves at to
what they shall tell the newspaper men,
usually selecting some topic that is OF
no great consequence and giving the inn
preston TO interviewers that this alone
engaged the cabinets attention. Tho
president decided that this hould end,
and In order TO carry out that idea he
issued positive Instructions that no cabi-
net officer was to discuss to outsiders
anything that occurred inside the council
chambcr
Such instructions have been frequently
issued before. but were never strictly OBJ
served. This time. however, they arc OF
an imperative character and cannot be
infringed i'm any way without giving
offence 20 the president.
Hereafter. when the president and cabi-
net decide upon any policy or action that
they desire 10 announce TO tho country,
the announcement Will be made 10y the
abine officer whose department is chiefly
concerned, and not by the White House,
and no reference will he contained in the
official statement TO the fact that the de-
cision reached was the result of cabinet
deliberations.

Mr.. Lodge presented various statistics
calculated TO show that Massachusetts,
and ali New England are upon an excel
lent and progressive footing. He pointed
out that although the number OF estab-
lishments had decreased In the last 40
years, the capital OF the heavy iron and
steel mills has increased from s., 900, 900
10 s21, 900, 600, employees from 1000 TO 5000.
the wages from less than 81. 600. 900 TO
more than 81. 900. 900 and the output from
81, 900. 900 TO SIS, 600. 600.
Comparing achusetts with Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio, Senator Lodge showed
hat from 1860 10 1900 Massachusetts, had
Increased in population 127 per cent,
while Pennsylvania has increased 1l6
per cent. and Ohio ~. In assessed value
OF real estate Massachusetts has in
creased 372 per cent, TO Sc by ONO.
In the value OF manufactured products
Massachusetts, had likewise done better
than Ohio, and had held her own with
Pennsylvania. He said:
'One great reason for the fact that
Massachusetts is thus prosperous and
thus holds her own with states more
ma turally favored is the protection given
TO her industries, which are very various,
which are concerned chiefly with the finer
and higher forms OF production In which
labor plays a very great part, and to
which, therefore. protection against the
competition OF lower-paid labor is abso-
lutely vital In conclusion Senator
Lodge said:
The strength Of Massachusetts IS in
her varied industries, large and small.
We ask for more items OF production
than almost any state IN the Union. and
yet citizens OF Massachusetts think we
can advance the prosperity OF the state
by uniting with the Democrats TO break
down the protective system.
Fifteen years ago We listened 20 that
argument and in 1892 the Democratic
party came into power. Have YOU for I,
gotten already the results of that Demo
cratic revision OF the tarin? No one who
passed through II will ever forget that
bitter time. and | say 60 YOU beware OF

RAILROAD MEN TO
 MAKE COMPROMISE
BAER AND CASSATT WOULD HAVE
 COMMISSION OF RATE EXPERTS,
 WITH POWER TO LESSEN Ex- cESSIvE RATES. As

Washington. November 16.-(Special)-A report circulated here today is to the eff feet that President Cassatt of the Penn sylvania railroad and President Bear of the Reading have in mind the presenta- tion of a railroad rate bill to the Pres- dent as a kind of a compromise in the way of legislation this winter
 Their proposition, it was declared, will be substantially as follows
 Authorization of a railway rate com mission, consisting of six or nine expert railway men and lawyers. at s12,oOO year salaries.
 'The commission to have the power to declare a rate excessive and to name rate in substitution.
 '"That rate to stand unless enjoined by a court, and the railroads to have the right to carry the case as far as the United States supreme court if neces- sary."
 The objections urged against it by advo- cates of railroad legislation will likely be that every case throughout the country would be carried to the supreme court, and in the meantime the rate fixed by the railroads would stand. In other words several years might elapse before decis- sion was reached on any particular case.

 FOR PRACTICAL FORESTRY.
Fine Opportunity Said to Be Offered
 On St. Helena Island.

Washington, November 16.-(Speclal)- An interesting fact was recently brought to light when the inhabitants of St. Helena Island. off the coast of South Carolina, who were almost all negroes. requested that a forester visit the island for the purpose of advising the people as .n the rapid disappearance of the forests. Prior to the civil war the islands off the coast of South Carolina were held by planters owning large numbers of slaves But since the war the black people them selves have come into possession of the land and are the chief producers of the community A member of the forest ser vice visited the island as requested, and found that, although the supply of wood upon the island was fast nearing extinc- tion. the opportunity for commercial for estry on the small holdings of the col- ored people Is an unusual one. It Is be- lieved that forest crop upon the poorer soils will easily yield higher return than an agricultural one.
 From several standpoints this is an un- usual opening for practical forestry, but not more so than that which may be found in many parts of the south

INDIGNANT OVER
 MILD PUNISHMENT
Hitchcock Says Further Indictments Will Follow Unless Fences Are
 Torn Down.

Washington, November 16.-Secretary Hitchcock was today unofficially informed that in the matter of prosecution, Bartlett Richards and w. c. Comstock in the federal court at Omaha for the illegal fencing of 212, 900 acres of government land in Sheridan county, Neb., upon pleading guilty, the defendants had been sentenced to remain six hours in the custody of the United States marshal and pay fine of $3Oo each.
 You can say" said the secretary in discussing the verdict, 'that I am sur prised and indignant. The punishment Is utterly inadequate. The indictment was the result of four years of determined effort and the expenditure of thousands of dollars by the department. We had se- lected the large operators in the hope that the result would be warning to those en- gagged on a smaller scale. That the case was d strong one Is evident by the fact that the men pleaded guilty. The result is discouraging, but we shall not cease our efforts. They have promised to tear down their fences, and if they do not keep the promise. they will be indicted again and again until they learn that laws are made to be obeyed. We will not let up.'

Columbus, November 16.-More than 2000 bales of cotton were burned, about 1000 bales badly damaged and several hun dred bales scorched by fire which started in grounds used jointly by the Central of Georgia railroad and the Atlantic Compress company today.

 A stiff gale of wind made the work des- perate for the fire department. but the department succeeded in preventing the spread of the fire to between 16OO0 and 17,O00 bales, which were on the ground nearby Inman & Co. of Augusta were the principal losers. Other losers were Well Brothers, 100 bales; J. B. Hoist, twenty-five bales Inman, Akers X ln- man of Atlanta, between 100 and 200 bales.
