POISON IN THE MAILS.

L. w. Dutro, postmaster of this city, is responsible for change in postal regulations that will be welcomed as great relief by phy- sicians practicing in country com munities.
 Some time ago MT. Dutro's at tention was called to the postal regulation prohibiting the sending of poison in any shape through the mails. Being familiar with con ditions not infrequently encounter, ed through the country he at. once recognized that the strict enforce ment of this regulation would op- crate harmfully, not to say disas- trously to practitioners of medicine and their patients living in dis tricts at distance from express of fees.
 Immediate administration of medicine, which may be d poison improperly handled, is daily oc- curence in the lives of physicians. Any restriction upon ready ac- cess to or q receipt of such medi- cine jeopardizes life, consequently the Memphis postmaster immed- lately made representations to the postal authorities at Washington requesting a modification of the regulation. He has succeeded in impressing these officials with the of the change suggest. ed, and yesterday he received the notice that his suggestions had been framed into q regulation.
 Henceforth, therefore, under proper restrictions, which are deemed essential to the preserva- ton of life against carelessness and felonious design, poison may be sent through the mails. It is proper to add that these restric- tions are ample tc prevent the mails being used improperly in this respect.
 Proprietors of drug concerns will receive this news with pleas ure, and country physicians will hail it with delight, for by reason of Mr, Dutro's activity in the mat

RAlLR0ADING A BILL THROUGH

It is apparently unnecessary for the newspaper to protest against the passage of the King bill in it's present form. Therea- sons why it should not pass without certain amendments are as valid now as two years ago when it was defeated. Thous- ands of business men then be- lieved that its passage would be a calamity. They believe so still and the Democrat unhesi- tatingly lifts up its voice in their behalf. They are entitled to be heard. The legislature should listen to their plea. Why rush the bill through without giving these citizens the right of petition? This right is guaran- teed in the constitution, and to deny 1t to the humblest citizen is 10 set aside the dearest priyi-

The Anti. Trust Bill.

On Friday the senate passed the Logan antitrust bill and inn mediately transmitted it to the house.
 In the house every effort to amend the measure was defeated, and it was read twice and made a special order for Tuesday morning At,which time, it is thought, the bill Twill be finally passed and sent to the governor for his signature.
 Thus will this momentous mat ter be settled so far as the legisla- ture Is concerned. Thus will the insistent demand of Jeff Davis be satisfied at last. Thus will bill that the Democratic state platform has twice declared for be enacted into law.
 In our American scheme of gov ernment the legislatures are sup posed to make the laws. But as a matter of fact law in the United States-an important law-is gen. orally the resultant of parallelo. gram of governmental forces or factors-the legislature and the courts. The final and ultimate statute is the resultant of the force exerted by the lawmakers and the force exerted by the courts upon given subject.
 Of course, the Logan antitrust bill will get into the courts. If there it shall be declared valid and if it shall in actual operation prove to be the wholesome, salutary, suf- fcient, adequate, competent anti trust statute that the people de fnand, well and good. If it shall fail of complete upholding by, the supreme court, there will be no use to scandalize popular govern ment by denouneing the members of the highest judicial body of Ar kansas as five jackasses. Instead we must trace the path of the force exerted by the legislature, then trace the path of the force exerted by the supreme court, then com plete the parallelogram according to the simple and beautiful physi- cal law, and then we shall have be- fore Us the much desired resultant. Having which, we can write a statute that shall hold the balance truly between the law proposers and the law disposers. shall be suf- ficieat to it's purpose and safe from all attack, and shall rest upon the foundation of almost universal public approval.-Gazette.

 Mir. Morton may be a man of parts, but evidently the Cabinet is not the proper sphere for his use fulness. He should resign at once and relieve tbe Presidents embar- rassment. It was thought to be a mistake to appoint him to the po- sition of Secretary of the Navy. It is now known to have been a mis- take. It's case now of scat, MT. Morton, scat.-Commercial Alp peal.
The Monticellonian., 1905-01-19
Get Out, Mr. Morton.

The sooner that Paul Morton has the decency to resign from the Cabinet, the better it will be for himself, for the President, and for the public generally. He is no toriously d creature of the trusts, and he has no business in any pub lie office.
 Morton has admitted under oath that when he was traffic manager of the Sante Fe road he gave re bates to the favored shippers in de fance of the law. This was done flor business reasons" The reg ulation of freight rates is, of course a delicate matter that should be left largely to the railroads; but there is no reason why advantages should be given one shipper over another. Of course, we make the necessary allowance for the size of shipments. If q shipper freights I ,ooo tons, he is entitled to some reduction from the rate he would pay if he shipped only 100 tons, or one ton. But all men who ship  I ,ooo tons ought to pay the same rate, just as all men who ship on- ly one ton should pay the same rate. There are some people who go to the theater two or three times week. and some who go only once month, but if seat in the theater is worth a dollar, one per son has just as much right to 1t at that price as another. There is, indeed, no reason why this sort of uniformity should not be insisted on, for it would benefit rather than injure the railroads. The evil of rebates lies in the fact that 1t gives one business concern an illegiti- mate advantage over another.
 The Standard Oil Trust could never have been builtup had it not made an alliance with the Penn sylvania Railroad. by which it se- cured a double, back action System of rebates. It was with railroad aid that it was enabled to drive it's competitors to the wall. The rail- road per SC was injured by this sort of thing, too.
 President Roosevelt has declared war upon the rebate system. It is against the law. Yet he has in his Cabinet man who admits that 1t is against the law, but admits that he, when traffic manager of d

Some of the Legislators are talking of a law to prevent the killing of partridges for a period of five years. This is all stuff.
 The sportsman of to-day has as much right to hunt as the one to come in five years from now. Besides, hunters have gone to great expense and trouble in raising and training dogs for bird hunting; which would be entirely worthless to them If five years limitation is put on the country, since the dogs would be too old for hunt ing by that time. The law is fairly equitable as it is, and leg islators would do well to let it alone.
