The Rebate Business.

So long as a. b. Stickney is the pres
ident of il. the Chicago Great Western
railway must be rated as one of the
good corporations. Mr.. Stickney is an
admirer of President Roosevelt and
comedies with the view that the rates
of railroads should be subject TO fed
erl supervision and regulation. He is
firm in his conclusion that rebates are
the product OF competition and so long
as there is competition there will be
rebates unless some appropriate and
effective remedy is adopted 10 prevent
them. But in the very speech in which
he explained that unreasonable rates
are practically impossible where there
is competition. but that il is important
TO establish the correct principle before
competition is eliminated. as it will be
in 10 or 90 years. he explained also the
system in vogue by which the railroads
avoid the law which forbids rebates
and the means they employ 10 destroy
all evidence of the lawbreaking. 1t is
simple. too. AT regular intervals a
young man carrying packages of cur.
Tency leaves New York and distributes
the money among the shippers. He
speaks to no one, makes no explanation
of what the money is, but the amounts
he leaves behind run, according to Mr.
Stickney. into hundreds of thousands
of dollars a year.
With such a system il would make
little difference what the law was un-
less there was some change in the
views of the parties to such contracts
OF course the shippers will make the
best bargain they can with the rail
roads. and the railroads will do what
they can TO get business. In these cir
cumstances it would seem a pertinent
reply TO Mr.. Roosevelt to ask. What S
the use?' But il would be as pertin-
ent and logical ~say that, because it
is usually difficult and often impossible
to detect murderers and punish their
crimes we should have no law making
murder a felony or prescribing punish
ment for the felOns.

The Responsibility in the Pump DeaI

The responsibility for whatever may
be done in the pending pump deal does
not repose either in the Snow inter
ests or the attorneys engaged by the
representative of the Snow company to
guard and advocate its interests. The
responsibility rests with the city of
ficials who brought in and expected the
council to confirm an ordinance pre-
pared by the representative of a private
corporation. appropriating public funds
for the transaction with that corpora
ton.
No one can blame the corporation
for safeguarding its own interests or of
retaining the best legal advice for that
purpose. But anyone can blame the
representative of the peoples side who
would offer. much less countenance,
such a document from the city's stand
point.
The responsibility in every phase of
the pump deal is in the hands of the
elected representatives of the people.

Cullom's Long Hold.

Senator Cullom is by no means dis
couraged over the announcement that
President Roosevelt has selected a
western man for q place on the inter
state commerce commission. In all
probability the law will be altered SO
as to increase the commission from five
10 seven and possibly 10 nine members.
One of these new places is to go 10
Illinois and shelby is TO name the
man. II Will be seen from this that
Cullom is wide awake and no ordinary
obstacle will daunt him. IT, in addition

one-half of the states population In
1890 it contained little more than 40
per cent of the states population. and
in 1850 only 81 per cent. So goes the

Greater New York which lives on the

No less than 20 of the upstate coun-
ties show a loss of population during
the past five years.
The Massachusetts state census for
1905 shows population increase of
G.9 per cent for the five years. or little
more than the increase for New York
state outside of New York city Dur
ing the same time, which has been a
period of enormous immigration and
unexampled industrial prosperity, Iowa
has lost in population and Kansas has
made no gain worth mentioning. At
the time these facts appeared We ad-
vanced the theory that the great cities,
and particularly New York. were prov
ing the chief gamers from the prosper
ity of the time through the industrial
concentration which has been in prog
ress. The New York result gives
strength TO this supposition. The trust
regime is drawing wealth and popula-
ton dispropOrtionately from the coun-
try at large and piling them up in the
financial center whose recent growth

pleXity of local effort in meeting the
