Just Discrimination in Railway Rates

Just Discrimination in Railway Rates
 All railroad men qualified to speak on the subject in a responsible way are likely to agree with President Samuel Spencer, of the Southern railway, when he says: There is no division of opin- ion as to the desirability of stopping all secret or unjustly discriminatory devices and practices of whatsoever character
 MT. Spencer. in speaking Of unjust ly discriminatory rates and devices, makes a distinction which is at once apparent to common senee. There may be discrimination in freight rates which is just, reasonable and imperatively re- quired by the complex comme ~cial and geographical conditions with which ex- pert rate makers have to deal. To abel ish such open and honest discrimination might paralyze the industries of cities, states and whole sections of our national territory.
 This distinction between just and un- just discrimination is clearly recognized in the conclusions of the International Railway Congress, published yester- day:
 Tariffs should be based on commercial principles taking into account the special conditions which hear upon the conner cial value of the services rendered. With the reservation that rates shah be charged without arbitrary discrimination to all shippers alike under like conditions. the making of rates should as far as possible have sll the elasticity necessary o permit the development of the traffic and 10 pro duCe the greatest results to the pubic and to the railroads themselves
 The present proposal is. as MT. Walker D. Hines. of Louisville showed in his remarkable testimony the other day before the senate committee at Wash. ington, to crystallize flexible and justl. discriminatory rates into fixed govern ment rates which cannot be chang'd except by the intervention of some gov ernment tribunal, and by this ;ery process 10 increase the temptatisn to depart from the published rate tnd the lawful rate in order to meet some over towering and urgent comme cial con- dition.

Pinkham, of Lynn. Mass, is fully quali- fedto give helpful advice to sick women. Read Mrs. Dimmick's letters.
 Her first letter:
 Dear Mrs Pinkham :-
 l" 1 have been a sufferer for the past eight years with a trouble which first originated from painful menstruation-the pains were excruciating, with inflammation and ulcera1 tion of the womb. The doctor says 1 must have an operation or cannot live. l do not want to submit to an operation if can possi- ply avoid it. Please help me."-Mrs Mary Dimmick, Washington, D. c.
 Her second letter;
 Dear Mrs. Pinkham =
 You will remember my condition when I last wrote you, and that the doctor said 1 must have an operation or I could not live. received your kind letter and followed your advice very carefully and am now entirely well As my case was so serious it seems miracle that am cured. l know that owe not only my health but my life to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and to your advice. l can walk miles without an ache or a pain, and 1 wish every suffering woman would read this letter and realize what you can do for them Mrs Mary Dimmiek, 59th and East Capitol Streets, Washington, D. c.
 How easy it was for Mrs. DimmiclS to write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass, and how little 1t cost her-a two-cent stamp. Yet how valuable was the reply! As Mrs. Dimmiek says--it saved her life

Are the Packers Receiving Fair Plaxp

When the Garfield report on the business methods of the packers ap- pearcd, after eight months inyestiga- tion 1t was severely criticised and roundly denounced. After three morths of publicity it is significant that those who attempted to discredit it have failed to controvert the figures contained in that exhaustive document The 9Gbic is beginning to notice this omission, and the feeling is rapidly growing that the sensational charges out of which the Beef Inyesti gation" arose were without foundation. If the official statements of the report are susceptible of contradiction, a good many people are now asking why the contradict them.
 The truth seems to be that most of the charges contain unfounded sensa- tional assertions. A fragrant example of thls appeared in a recent article in an Eastern magazine, to the effect that forty Iowa banks were forced to close their doors in 1903-4 by the Beef lTuSl mdHIpuIdtloH oi cdtlle pilceS. Chief Clerk Cox, of the banking de- partment of the Iowa State Auditors office has tabulated the list of banks given in the magazine article and has publicly denounced the statement as utterly untrue. He gives separately the reasons for each failure mentioned and officially states that they have been caused by unwise speculations and by reckless banking methods It may be well to suspend judgment upon the packers until the charges against them are proved.

Fabrics Made of Wood Pulp.

Certain fabrics are being made in Flu rope, the warp of which is composed of cotton and the wool of q thread made from wood pulp. These goods were in- troduced almost four years ago. At the outset sheets of wood pulp paper were cut into finest shreds and twisted into thread by machines made for the pas- pose. Lately the paper process has been abandoned and wood pulp is passed di- rectly over grooved metal sheets, form ing very thin ribbons. which pass in turn over a machine that twists them into very regular thread of any de- sired length.
