mittec and general counsel OF the Atchi-
son. Topeka and Santa Pc Railroad. lie
discussed the railway and said IL was
a fair estimate that 10000 persons would
be interested in any legislation affect

Speaking OF the railways in general,
he said they had some difficulty I'm keep

There we're three evils complained Of.
he said. upon which the demand was
made for legislation 10 fix rates: First,
that railroads rates were excessive; sec
ond. that there were determinations
against shippers; third. that there were
determinations against localities.
lie insisted that the railroad rates were
not excessive, as under the common law
the carriers were prohibited from making
unjust determinations. Congress had no
constitutional right 20 fix a rate which
would notvive the shippers reasonable

property OF tho railroad
Relative TO routing OF shipments, Mr..
Morawctz said that the shipper should
not have the choice OF selecting connect

Morawetz further said:
"It should be provided that ell fast

sions Of the Interstate Commerce act.
Suitable provisions should be made for
the protection OF the roadway com

Senator Foraker asked why water lines

the good of our state rather than
firing the animosities that have
devided our people and retarded
our development, better condi-
tions would prevail. But it's en-
ergies are wasted and it's talents
misapplied. If the dirty cam
paign in Louisville would cease
and the daily press Of that city
do its duty to the great resources
of the state, a few f1eeting years
would almost make a new Ken
lucky. If methods are corrupt
in Louisville their overthrow can
only be accomplished by a steady,

Being asked about the present
prospects of the railway, Mr.. Az
bill said: For the past four
months there has been no change
whatever in the outlook. Then
we were told by expert, Mr..
Green, that the proposition is be-
lieved by him to be a good one,
and we were advised to survey
and have estimates made. Last
Friday we completed the surveys,
and now the estimates are being
made. So far as we have prog
ressed we have fully met Mr..
Green's expectations. What the
footings will show when the es-
Inmates are completed / do not

The Investigations of some of

Some people seem at a loss to
understand why so many farmers
want to sell, why so many want
to go West and why so many
others are willing to part from
pleasant surrounding. The shift
ing of humanity is a question of
deep interest to a student of man
and his environments, and so far
as we have observed this restless
ness and desire for a change is
almost as broad as our land, as
old as the country and as con-
slant as the hours. America was
peopled with shifters. The fami-
lies who were not game enough
to cross the seas never helped to
people this country. The ones
who were too timid to face the
dangers of pioneer life never left
home and a large percent of their
defendants are around the hearth
stones of buried centuries. Every
part of American life, every ave-
nue. of business is on the moving,
shifting, going order. A man
who owns a farm wants to go to
town; the man in town longs for
the blessings and comforts that
crowd the farmer. The doctor
would like to be a lawyer and the
lawyer, too, like all others, would
like to be doctor or something
beside his own profession. Thus
! it is with every profession, with

The announcement made, in
the Louisville Post of October
3rd, that arrangements had been
made to have 200 negroes from
New Albany register in Louis
vile by the managers of the De-
mocratic campaign is one of the
most absurd charges, in our mind,
that could be made. Everybody
knows that the negro is not dem
ocratic;; everybody is familiar
with the fact that he is republi-
can and that such a scheme would
be foolish as we'll as dangerous
to democratic interests. 7 h e
Post ought to seek and publish
more plausible theories if it hopes
to advance its political interests.
The Louisville campaign seems to
be as dirty as it is desperate and
we care but little about it, but
the fact that the would-be puri-
fiers are going to the depth of
impure methods to overturn and
outdo the corruption of their po-
litical adversaries does not indi-
cate purity to be the large plum
in the pudding. Ifcorrupt meth
ods are overturn by corrupt
methods what good may be ex-
pected? If the gang" is to be
fought by their equals what
change can be made? In the be-
ginning we had confidence in the
movement to reform Louisville
government, but that movement
has lost it's weight in surrender
ing it's leadership to men and
methods the equal, if not the su-
perlor OF any gang Louisville
ever had. A movement to cor
rect any evil ought not to sur
render its identity and purity Of
purpose by accepting aid and
leadership from questionable
sources. Like begets like. The
only thing, or at least, the great
est point with outside K n
tuckians in the Louisville cam
paign is not who wins or loses,
but the wholesale advertising of
the bad given to the world against

with envy. The man who is
forced to work wants to be a
gent of leisure and the man of
wealth covets the robust constitu-
ton of the laborer. The poor

7 The announcement is made that the

include within the scope Of it's inquiry
the conduct OF the State Insurance De-

FRANCIS HENDRICKS, its head.
Mr.. HENDRICKS made an examination
into the Equitable and recorded the tes-

nesses. He'was careful not to call other
witnesses, and he studiously avoided
asking certain questions Of the witnesses
whom he did examine. Mr. HENDRICKS
then isslied his official report and sup
pressed vital parts Of the testimony that
he did elicit.
Itseeins to US that it is not SO important
: that the Armstrong committee should
Investigate Mr.. HENDRICKS and his de-
pertment as that he should be dismissed
summarily from the State Department OF
Insurance and be proceeded with as the
law provides.
