just Discrimination in Railway

All railroad men qualified to speak

Samuel Spencer of the Southern Rail
way when he says: There is nc divis-

Mr.. Speccer, in speaking of -unjuSt-

makes a distfNction which is at once
apparent to common sense. There may
be discrimination ir freight rates

This distinction between just and
unjust discrimination is cle ilay recOg-
Eized in the conclusions Of fhe Inter

When the Garfield report on the
business methods of the parkers ap-
peared, after eight months invesiiga-
ton, it was severely criticised and
roundly denounced. After three
months of publicity it is significant
that those who attempted to discre,iit
it have failed to cGntrovert the figures
contained in tnat exhaustive document.
The public is beginning to notice this
omission, and the feeling is rapidly
growing that the sensational charges
out of which the ''Beef Investigation
arose were without foundation. If the
official statements of the report are
susceptible of contradiction, a 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 seTsa-
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 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. 1t
may be well to suspend judgment up
on the packers until the charges
against them are proved.

ly man, who passed for her uncle.
Twice In different parts of England
she insured her life in her uncle's IA
vor, went into commissions and to all
appearances died. The third time the
game was played with an ingenious
variation. The uncle went to a life
insurance company, explained that he
was In financial straits and wished to
borrow money on his niece's estate.
To compensate for such loan he
would have to insure her life for it's
value, but could not afford to have
this insurance become known, as 1t
would expose his financial condition
and ruin his credit The company,
therefore, agreed to write the insur-
ance under bond of secrecy. AS
usual, the young woman went into
commissions and died. Before her
funeral she lay in state for all the
world to see. Her uncle was pros
trated.
He did not try to collect the insur-
ance for some months and when he
did the company paid him in full with
expressions Of real sympathy. So did

FEAR FOR NIAGARA
IMMENSE VOLUME OF WATER
DIVERTED FROM FALLS.
Commercial Enterprises are Making
Heavy Drains on This Famous SNOW
pIace-Its Tremendous electrical
Power the lnducemsnt.

Niagara Falls, August THE
volume of water being diverted
from the historic Niagara Falls is
reaching such proportions that the
people of the State are trying to pass
laws which will prevent the possibll-
ity of practical wiping out OF THIS
sublime natural spectacle.
Water sufficient to develop nearly
five hundred thousand horsepower
continuously twenty-four hours per
day, for industrial purposes, is now
being taken from the river above the
Falls. and further developments re-
curing more water are contemplated.
Probably the largest user OF the
electricity produced by the waters or
the mighty river is the concern which
by the five or six thousand degree
heat of the electric furnace brings
lime and coke into unwilling union,
thereby producing what is known as
Calcium Carbide.
Dry calcium carbide is lifeless as
SO much broken rock, but in contact
with water it springs into activity and
begets abundantly the gas Acetylene.
The light resulting from the ignition
of acetylene is the nearest approach
to sunlight known.
These facts, though of compare
lively recent discovery, were soon
seized by men with an eye to the COM
mercial possibilities and to-day cal
cium carbide is being shipped every
where and used for dispelling dark
ness in buildings of all descriptions,
from the ordinary barn Of the farmer
to the country villa of the wealthy, as
we'll as for lighting the streets of
large number of towns. Acetylene
can be easily and cheaply installed,
and the manufacture and sale of
acetylene generators has become
business of recognized standing, has
assumed large proportions and Is
steadily growing.
