The President and Railroad Rates.

I The reply o. President RcoSeveit to
the'leaders Of Eve great organizations
of rsilwsy employees who called, on
him to protect Against uhfait freight
rate regulation u significant. They
had pointed out that freight rsgulA-
tioI logically meant lowering Of rates
and that lower rates meant lower
wages. The president assured the
delegation that It Is not biz purpose
or the purpose Of those who favor
railroad rate regulation to do any
thing that might iDjure the railroads
Of the Ccuptfy, OF Incidentally. the
employees Of the railroads. He said II
q his purpose that all Glasses rail
roads, shippers and emplo, ees. should
have perfectly fair treatment. 4
This u . fAr different proposition
from that which many conceive to 10
the presidents attitude. In his ad-
dress and messages while he has basn
favorable to regulation in the interest
Of justice be has insisted that thsrs
should be square deal for both sides
10 the controversy. For instance In
bis message 70 congress DO sid:
III. must not BE- forgotten that our
'railWsys are the arterieS through
which the Commercial lifeblood Of TIA
nation flows. Nothing ,eOnld be more
foolish than the euactmsnt o. legLs-
latlon which would unnecessarily 10
tarfere with the development and
operation Of these commercial Agen.
cies."
IN his speech at Raleigh, N. O.,
last month he emphasized his desire
for fairness to AL interests.
The people can afford to b. with |
the president ON what the president |
wants which is A,dsquare deal" He |
wants nothing else, nothing more, no |
less, It 10 not lair to nisreptesent |
what the president really wants or to |
allow prejudiced dsmogogues TO inter
pref the presidents ideas. The presI-
dent will DO iOnnd to be fair and |
square.

G According to Charles
Lamb it was once ne
cessary to burn your house
down in order to have roast
pork. Advertising has become
more exact and more scien-
tihc. Less and less money is
: wasted in large, meaningless
lists. The advertiser insists
that every publication upon
the list he uses shall represent
something tangible. A large
blanket appropriation placed
in every possible publication
will not do as much good as
half that amount spent only
in real magazines with a real
advertising value, such as Nc

Glove Contest

San Francisco, Sept. THE last
remaining obstacle to the completion
of preparations for the Britt-Nelson
glove contest was removed today
when James J. Jenries telegraphed
his acceptance of the offer to act as
referee for 1000 compensation. He
added in his message that he would
leave Los Angeles tonight for this
city so as TO arrive here IN ample
time for the encounter which will
take place on Saturday afternoon.
Both Britt and Nelson are in per-
feet condition. The odds remain 10
to with Britt on the long end,
though Nelson's friends declare he
will be quoted at a better figure in
a few days.
Billy Nolan, the manager of Nell
son, declared tonight that he would
not consent in any circumstances to
Jeffries refereeing the fight. Nolan
strongly opposed Jeffries before the
toss of coin decided the contro-
versy over the selection of a ref
cree, and he has apparently seized
the early refusal of Jeffries to act
as an opportunity to force a change
Nolan telgeraphed from Colma this
afternoon that he would come to San
Francisco to confer with Britt's
brother and the club managers and
a conference was arranged for at
late hour tonight. Britt and the club
favor Jeffries and another deadlock
is possibility.

BANANAS DUMPED ON PRAIRIE

Six carloads of bananas, valued at
$1,000 per car, We're brought to Den
yer last week by the Colorado a
Southern road from New Orleans and
dumped out on the prairie near that
city at the instance OF the state board
of health, to avoid the possibility
of yellow fever infection. The ba-
nanas were consigned to the Colorado
Banana association, and were intend
ed to be sold in Denver during the
Grand Army encampment.
As soon as the fruit arrived in
Denver notice was given to the health
board, for the reason that the ba-
nanas had come direct from the hot
bed of the fever that is raging in
New Orleans. On account of the
throngs that were to be in Denver to
attend the C. a. r. encampment, the
board Immediately ordered the fruit
10 be taken from the city and dump
ed. The doors of the cars were NOT
even allowed to be open. Just to
whom the loss will fan has as yet
not been determined. 1t is thought
