Two Important Points Cleared Up.

The railroad campaign Of educa-
tion'' in opposition to the president s
program of railroad regulation has been
doing it's utmost to spread the idea
everyw'',ere that If the interstate COM
merce commission is given the power to
fix new rate after having found the
old one unreasonable, it must 90 so on
the distance-tariff basis. This state
ment, if true, would unquestionably con-
stitute a very potent argument against
the administration plan, and, like the
wonderful discovery by the railroad at
torneys of that constitutional provision
against discrimination between ports,
will be effective while it lasts.
We have not believed, however, at
any time that the conclusion that gov
eminent regulation meant distance
tariff; but in order to get clearer
statement Of the proposition from the
best authority 7 h 9 Journal asked
its Washington correspondent to devel-
op the facts bearing upon this matter.
He has taken the question up with the
interstate commerce commission itself
and furnishes an interview today, which
shows by precedent as well as by state
ment of future policy, that the govern
ment is not restricted in it's regulation
Of rates to consideration Of the mere
matter of distance. All the considera-
tions which now legitimately enter into
the question Of fixing rates may be
made operative under government regu-
latioN just as well as under private con-
troll. That there was nothing in the
constitutional limitation as to discrimi-
nation between ports, was shown by At
torney General Moody, and Commission
er Prouty demonstrates that there is
nothing in the distance tariff argument.
The propaganda of the railroads will
have to hunt up something else, now
that both Of these have been rendered
useless by investigation.
It will also be remembered that when
Mr.. Hill Of the Great Northern was be-
fore the interstate commerce committee
OF the senate he repeated his oft-told
story about the interference Of the gov
eminent having destroyed his export
cotton trade. Mr.. .Prouty states just
exactly what the commission did with
regard to that matter. He shows an ex
actly contrary state Of facts and the is
sue of veracity between the commission
er and Mr.. Hill is squarely made. Un
til that issue is settled Mr.. Hill s state
ment will at least be subject to suspi
cion.

King Alfonso.

King Alfonso is sensible young fell
low who refuses to have his holiday in
France spoiled by the scare that stalks
with kings. The morning after the at
tempt upon his life he was up bright
and early, whistling MY Love Is Like
a Red, Red Rose'' while he shaved the
royal chin, and after taking off cock
tail like a grown-up, sent an orderly
around to headquarters with bunch Of
medals for the officers who nailed the
anarchists. ~
King Alfonso is not the only BRIGHT
pebble on the royal beach. The fact
is that Europe is enjoying a pretty good
line Of kings at the present. writing.
Aside from Peter Of Servia, and one or
two more who are scarcely more than
jacks, the kings Of the continent are
fine lot. There is Edward VII. of Eng
land, master of kingcraft, who knows
the age Of a horse and dresses to beat
the band. Some who have met him
say that he is mild-manhered and peace
able in his disposition. During his
reign the Tower Of London is not half
full, while the beefeaters are full ali
the time. f.. sl. . u
Then there is Wilhelm, the rapidest of
Germany. He sometimes makes you
wish. his term would expire and Bill
Bryan could get go at him on plat
form Of his own making, but on the
whole Wilhelm does very WE'LL He
shoots, rides, plays golf, sings, acts and
eats ham and eggs. What more can
you ask Of man who has never been in
San Francisco
Leopold Of Belgium, too, is mon
arch who passes pretty good exami-
nation in mental arithmetic. While
one of the oldest he is also one of the
most up-to-date monarchs on tap. While
his whiskers seem to have been left over
from the crusades, there is nothing rusty
about Leopold. He is business man
a money maker and a believer in the
gold standard. He rules the Belgians
for exercise, but his real trade is devel
oping the Congo Free State for Leopold
He will be wearing diamonds when the
car is in jail for debt. Leopold does

The War and Trade.

First consideration of the day, in the
larger commercial sense, is that OF the
significance of Togo's great victory in
it's relation to the trade Of our country.
That Japan will control in Korea and
Manchuria is now clear, and that this
will mean great things for our country
is equally certain. The victory fore
shadows an increase in trade, that, over
the next decade, should grow into great
Importance. The immediate effect, how
ever, will probably be something of tenn
porary decline in our business with the
orient.
New records have been made in the
Pacific coast trade within the year.
Sales Of cotton goods to North China
since Feb. 1 exceeded by almost 100000
bales the business ordinarily done in
full season, and houses on both coasts
report general export business with
the far east fully so per cent larger
than in any previous period Of CORES
ponding length. Only within week,
Japan, following up large orders already
placed, bought another lot of 100 Loco
motives and 1900 freight cars from an
American firm. The enormous sales Of
foodstuffs to Japan, and the extent to
which America has contributed to the
sustenance Of the large armies in the
field, has been the main factor in swell
ing the total volume. We have sold
Japan a little Of everything she could
use, not excepting Minneapolis flour,
and of this business, traceable directly
to the war operations, the bulk has
gone out from the Pacific coast, demand
in most cases being too urgent to per.
NIT of shipment by the longer Atlantic
coast route.
Should Japan and Russia come tt
peace terms soon the first effect will
be falling off in this highly profitable
trade. Japan will not have such large
armed forces to maintain; men will re
turn to their former civil occupations
and internal improvements, which, by
governmental order have almost entire
ly ceased since Japan began to tax her
self for the war, will probably be re
sumed. Hence the first period following
the termination Of the war will prob
ably be marked by internal rehabilita
tion, during which our trade with ia
pan may fall off materially. Then, afte
a breathing spell, there will come al
increase greater by far than eve
known, and it should continue year af
ter year.

and Elements that Threaten Trouble
Tor Senator-Analysis of Last Elec-
ton Shows Where Most Cutting Was
Done-Langum Speaks for Lord.
No one questions the authority of
William 81. Grimshaw to speak for SEN
ator Nelson, and his interview in T h
> ourn a | yesterday makes the inten-
lions OF the senior senator plain. Very
few had really any doubt about his in
tent1on to ask for third term, and
his reelection is generally regarded as
matter OF course. It cannot be de-
MED, however, that hostile movement
is being organized.
The Great Northern influence has been
hostile to Senator Nelson for several
years, the break dating even farther
back than the antimerger fight, in which
the senator took an unequlvocal posi-
ton. While the Great Northern road
appears to be taking less interest in
the game than formerly, the old ma
chine, which has always taken it's cue
from that source, is undeniably hostile
to Nelson. The only reason it has not
been more demonstrative is that the
men in that. circle know the game, and
they know that at present they have no
popular backing. Unless some public
sentiment can be worked up against
Nelson they are not likely to show their
hands. Alex Mckenzie, the North Da-
kota leader who has been giving con-
siderable attention to Minnesota for
several years, has personal grievance
against Nelson on account of the Alaska
troubles, and will do what he can to
break down the senator's fences

This gossip and the GrimshaW inter

is placed before the people in such a
shape as to command attention from
now on.

Thomas Henry Huxley was born in Eal-
ing, England in 1926; died at Eastbourne.
England, in 1895. BY profession he was a
surgeon. He was one of the greatest BIZ.
ologists Of his own or any other period.
He was also the leading expositor Of the
theories of Darwin. He was an agnostic,
and requested that the following lines,
composed by his wife, should be carved
on his tombstone:
And il there be no meeting past the grave,
II all is darkness silence, vet it's rest.
Be not afraid, ye waiting hearts that weep

And II an endless sleep he wills--so best.
