RoosrvrLT To DAVIS

RTEVER did man deserve hayine
IN more than Governor Jeff Davis
the other day at the reception Of Pres
ident Roosevelt at Little Rock. And
never did man get fuller measure
or what he deserved.
The Governor made long speech,
which was IN bad taste, then he went
on to declare in the presence Of the
President Of the whole people that Ar
kansans were better and nobler in every
way than the people of other states,
Which was i'm worse taste. Finally he
launched out on defense Of lynching.
evidently for Nir Roosevelts benefit,
and awaited the applause Of his people.
1f he Is not altogether lmbecile. he
knows more now than he did The
President told the Governor and those
$4,000 Arkansans that the people Of
one state are about as good as the peo-
pie Of another. And that In his ex-
tensye travels he has found the same
character and manhood in all sections.
And those Arkansans expressed their
approval in applause and cheers. They
knew that the President had spoken
the plain. unvarnshed truth.
But he was not done with the Gov
ernor He pointed out that whereas
there is an attempt to justify lynching
on the ground that 1t is necessary in
cases where an unnamable crime has
been committed. yet three-fourths OF
an lynchings are for other crimes. some
Of them comparatively trivial. He de-
clared that to retallate for the crime
of brute by engaging IN brutality re-
suited only In brutalizing the commun-
ity and putting the people on level
with the very criminals they sought to
punish.
And the Arkansans applauded this
sentiment with great enthusiasm The
President seems to possess the most
perfect taot--the tact Of honesty. In
that speech he said just what our best

RATE INEQUALITIES

r DiTORS who blandly declare that
- there is no need OF rate leslsa-
ton should read carefully the article
OF Ray stannard Baker in the Novem-
Der McClure's. The advantage that
Mr. Baker has is that he has made
himself familiar with actual conditions.
and mentions a great many inequalities
which are menacing certain sections.
The railroad managers have apparently
been unable TO arrange equitable rates.
and naturally people generally are ask
ing what they are going 10 do about IT,
We don't believe that anybody fav-
ors enoumbering our statute books with
useless measures, and even the present
paternalistic tendency is due to the
fact that to appeal to the government
lappears as the last resort Mr.. Baker
cites these instances Of discrimination
Last year there was quarrel be-
tween certain lines. with the result that
grain was carried from Omaha to Bal
timore for eleven and one-half cents
hundredweight. while from different
parts OF Iowa Il ranged from fifteen TO
eighteen cents. although the haul is
less by 100 miles or more. Iowa farm
ers shipped their grain West to Omaha
that It might be shipped East again az
a saving to them. Did the Iowa farm
ers not have a reason for protest?
Denver merchants pay over $500 per
hundred pounds freight on certain
kinds OF goods shipped from Boston.
while goods Of the same kind are sent
1000 miles further West to San Fran
cisco at s1.OO per hundredweight. Now
under these conditions it is natural for
the Denver merchants to contend for
some authority TO fix equitable rates.
Again. Seattle is 25O miles farther
from Chicago than Spokane. yet a mer-
Ichant OF Spokane receiving shipment
from Chicago pays the rate 10 Seattle
and from that point back to Spokane
The latter city naturally asks the rea-
son for this discrimination
Further, Mr.. Baker says that the rate
ON butter is the same from Iowa to New
York city as it is from Northern New
York and New Hampshire to that city
Here is bit OF discrimination that
protects the great dairy farms Of the
West as against those OF the East. The
Eastern dairyman is likely to demand
Ia remedy
These are just "a few examples and
Iany merchant or manufacturer can cite
innumerable cases out OF his own ex-
lperlence We are told that the railroad
officials are the proper persons to fix
rates, but all these years they have
been unhampered and the inequalities
are growing. The small firm and the
small city are Disseminated against,
with the result that all industries are
obliged to locate in the great centers
while cheaper freight rates allow the
city merchant to undersell his rural
brother.
Il would be astonishing, indeed, were
persons so Disseminated against. with
out any show Of reason. not to protest
and TO demand the remedy that prom
ises best to secure for them justice.

DUMP THE WHOLE OUTFIT.

"When thieves fall out honest men get their dues
is being verified by the revelations in the Nicdring-
haus senatorial contest. The reports Of the investi-
eating committees showed some shady campaign do.
ings' with cash contributions in the hands Of Med
~ringhaus as chairman Of the Republican state com.
mittee. +. c. B~rokmeyer was secretary of the same
committee during the same period. They fell out,
because Brokmcyer had been ignored and failed to
secure his amount Of pie" Now the whole campaign
program is being exposed and Brokmeyer is using his
sheet, the Missouri State Republican,, to show up the
dirty work transacted with his knowledge through the
chairman.
Brokmcyer's paper was the most radical Republican
sheet III the state during the campaign, and made all
manner OF charges against Democratic leaders, and
openly made charges of corruption such as he now
links with Niedringhaus and himself during the cam.
paign. The lack Of principle is very clear, but the
corruptive methods exposed by this Investigation are
laid bare, and honest Legislators have "A recourse in
their own hands. These unprinciplcd schcmers are at

crying for pretended reform are now exposing their
