FIXING RAILROAD RATES.

Making railroad rates is like play
ing game Of checkers or chess. Com
munities to be benefited, producers,
manufacturers or shippers to be aided
represent the pieces used. Every pos
sible move is studied for its effect
on the general result by skilled traf-
fic managers. A false move in the
making Of freight rates may mean the
ruin Of city, OF great manufacture
Ing interest. Of an agricultural COM
munity. Railroads strive TO build up
ali these SO that each may have an
equal chance in the sharp competi-
tion Of business. So sensitive to this
rivalry are the railroads that in order
to build up business along their lines
they frequently allow the shipper 70
practically dictate rates. Rate max
ing has been a matter of development;
of mutual concessions for mutual
benefit. That is why the railroads Of
the United States have voluntarily
made freight rates SO much lower in
this country than they are on the
government-owned and operated rail-
ways OF Europe and Australia that
they are now the lowest transports
ton rates in the world.

United States System of Lighting Mill

euccessfuI-Six and One-HaIf Miles
Of Mains-sixty-Five Street Lights.

Chickamauga Park Ga, May 81
The United States government has here
in operation one Of the largest acety-
lene gas plants in the world. The mill
tary post at the entrance of the histor-
ical Chickamauga battlefield where
thirty thousand Union and Confederate
soldiers were lost in the memorable
battle OF Sept. 10 and 20, 1863. contains
about one hundred buildings, the
seventy-fve principal ones of which are
lighted with acetylene. To accom-
plish this six and one-hah miles of
mains and two miles OF service pipes
are in use, while sixty-fve street
lamps brilliantly illuminate the ave-
nues of the post
In 1903 the War Department in
stalled a test acetylene plant at Fort
Meyer, Virginia. The results were
SO gratifying and the superiority
Of the illuminant SO evident that the
government, March 20, 1904, placed
the contract for the Chickamauga
plant, in which every citizen of the
United States should have his pro
rata of pride.
ASos ehC 6ONCi Ado uOL COu-
fined its acceptance of acetylene to
this military post. Since becoming
satisfied Of the efficiency, superiority
and economical advantages of this
particular illuminant. the United
States has installed a number of
plants in Indian schools and other gov
ernment institutions.
Acetylene gas is one Of the simplest
as well as the most perfect of artificial
lights. 1t is made by the contact
Of water and carbide, "a manufactured
product for sale at a nominal price,,
is absolutely safe and gives a beau
tiful white light soothing to the eyes
and nerves. 1t can be produced any
wherein the farm home, the village

be practical for all classes.
It is a matter for national congratu-
lation that in beautifying SO historic
. spot as Chickamauga, nothing but
the best. including the lighting sys-
tenn. has been deemed good enough
for the American people.

Are the Packer. Receiving Fair Play,

When the Garfield report on the
business methods Of the packers ap-
peared, after eight months investiga-
ton. 1t was severely criticised az |
roundly denounced. After three
months of publicity 1t Is significant
that those who attempted to discredit
It have failed to controvert the figures
contained in that exhaustive docu-
ment. The public is beginning to no
tice this omission, and the feeling is
rapidly growing that the sensational
charges out of which the Beef In
vestigation" arose were without foun-
dation. II the Official statements Of
the report are susceptible Of contra
diction, q good many people are now
asking why the facts and figures are
not furnished to contradict them.
The truth seems to be that most Of
the charges contain unfounded sensa-
tional assertions. A fragrant example
Of this appeared in a recent article In
an Eastern magazine, to the effect
that forty Iowa banks were forced
to close their doors in 1904 by the
Beef Trusts manipulation Of cattle
prices" Chief Clerk Cox, Of the bank
ing department of the Iowa State Au-
ditor's once, has tabulated the list OF
banks given in the magazine article
and has publicly denounced the state
ment rs utterly untrue. He gives
separately the reasons for each fail
ure mentioned and oficially 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 a-e proved.

SENTENCED TO DEATH
FIVE MEN AWAITING EXECUTION

Warden Of Colorado Penitentiary Has
Already Executed Eight Men-see.
retary Favors HabituaI Criminal
Act.
Denver, May 27.-With the convic-
tiOn Of Joseph Johnson at Trinidad on
the charge Of killing John Fox there
are now five men in the state OF Colo.
RADIO awaiting execution under the cap
ital punishment act. These are Fred
Arnold and Newton Andrews, con-
demned to die in the week beginning
June 11th; Patrick Bremen, convicted
Of killing his sweetheart at Leadville,
to hang the week beginning July 21st;
Charles o. Peters, to hang the week
beginning November 10th, and Joseph
johnson, date not yet set.
! All Of these men are under thirty
years Of age. except Johnson. War
den Cleghorn has already executed
eight men for the state, and II he re-
mains In office and there is no inter-
ference with the cases, he will have
hanged thirteen by the end of the pres
ent year. There is the possibility, of
course, that there may be others added
to the list in the meantime.
In discussing the capital punishment
act recently, Secretary G. E. Hagar of
the State Board of Pardons expressed
the opinion that there was bill be-
Gore the last Legislature which, II 1t
had become law. would have done
more to lessen crime than did the law
nP Jn 20 h-A
criminal act. Under this act 1t - pro-
posed that when a man is committed
to the penitentiary of a state for the
third time, he is to be declared an in
durable and incarcerated for the re-
mainder of his life.
The theory of this law is that II a
man has demonstrated that imprison-
ment does not cure him of criminal ten.
denotes. then there is nothing left for
society to do but protect itself by put
ting him out of the way. Humanity
rebels at executing him. and. therefore.
he must be left In prison. that he may
no longer prey upoL society or repro
duce his kind. Many criminologists
declare that executions and imprison-
ment do not have a deterrent effect,
thus, the fear OF life Imprisonment
might not actually lessen the proper
ton Of crime. but with the habitual
criminals gradually becoming incarcer.
ated there would be percepuble de-
crease In the number Of crimes COM
mitted.
Mr.. Hngar says that a study Of the
records at the prisons is very interest
ing, showing that majority Of those
who commit crime are extremely ig-
norant and unlettered.
