MARKETING POTATO CROPS.

In line with the classic case OF the
oyster shippers. cited by President
Hadley OF Yale University in his book
on Railroad transportation. is the case
of the Aroostook potato growers
brought by President futile Of the
Boston and Maine Railroad before the
Senate Committee on Interstate Com.
merce. Nothing could better show
how a railroad works for the interest
Of the localities which it serves.
A main dependence Of the farmers
of the Aroostook region Is the potato
crop, aggregating annually eight to
ten million bushels, which find mar
ket largely In Boston and the adjacent
thickly settled regions Of New Eng
land. The competition of cheap water
transportation from Maine to all points
along the New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates on these pota-
toes always at very low level.
Potatoes are also considerable out
put Of the truck farms Of Michigan,
their normal market being obtained In
and through Detroit and Chicago and
other communities of that region.
Not many years ago favoring sun
and rains brought tremendous yield
OF potatoes from the Michigan fields.
AT normal rates and prices there
would have been glut of the custom
airy markets and the potatoes would
have rotted on the farms, To help
the potato growers the railroads from
Michigan made unprecedentedly low
rates on potatoes to every readable
market, even carrying them In large
quantities to a place SO remote as Bos-
ton. The Aroostook growers had to
reduce the price on their potatoes and
even then could not dispose of them
unless the Boston and Maine Railroad
reduced its already low rate, which 1t
did. BY means Of these low rates,
making possible low prices, the potato
crops Of both Michigan and Maine
were finally marketed. Everybody
eats potatoes, and that year every
body had all the potatoes he wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinous to
the railroads, had they been applied
to the movement Of all potatoes at all
times, to all places, they helped their
patrons to find markets then. The
Boston and Maine Railroad suffered a
decrease In its revenue from potatoes,
but 1t enabled the Aroostook farmers
to market their crop and thereby to
obtain money which they spent for the
varied supplies which the railroads
brought to them If the making Of
rates were subject to governmental
adjustment such radical and prompt
action could never have been taken,
because it is we'll established that II
a rate be once reduced by railroad
company it cannot be restored through
the red tape of governmental proce'
dure. If the Michigan railroads and
the Boston and Maine Railroad had
been subjected to governmental limi-
tation they would have felt obliged to
keep up their rates as do the railroads
of France and England and Germany
under governmental Limitation and let
the potatoes rot. E han 'e

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Eighteen million children of this
country are now attending the pub
lie schools five days of every week.
Read it over again. Eighteen mil
lionl In the city the pupil multi
tudes go to the great brick build
ings, where the latest furniture,
apparatus, libraries and free books
are supplied. Out in the country
the children throng the rural high
ways. They go to little wooden
buildings topped by the starry flag,
where the desks are crude and
where apart from the school room
there is one little vestibule where
the children hang their hats and
coats. In city or in country these
buildings are brain factories. And
into these factories-bless 'em-go
the big self-conscious boy and the
giggling girl and all the little tots.
The public school is your true
democracy. There is no institution
more distinctly American. When
you despair of the republic, visit
the nearest public school. There
the red~headed, trouser- patched son
of the washerwoman beats the
bankers son in his lessons. You do
not need to read the declaration OF
independence from the front steps OF
the schoolhouse. That all men and
women are created equal is demon
strated there. Life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness is the heritage
of all, and woe be to him who
denies it.

Special Correspondence.

Madison, Wis, Sept. II.
Letters received from the training
quarters of the University of Wiscon-
sin football squad at Marinette have
decidedly "bearish" appearance and
indicate that the prospects for sue
cessful preliminary practice season
are none too bright. Coach Phil King
and his assistant Edgar G. Holt and
head trainer Alvin G. Kraenzlein are
bemoaning the aggravating hardness
with which leading candidates for the
varsity eleven are making their ap-
pearance at the training quarters. At
tention is directed to the fact that
Wisconsin's big rivals on the grid-iron,
Michigan, Minnesota and Chicago,
have managed to gather all their avail
able candidates and the process of
getting the men in condition is we'll
under way. The situation in the Bad
ger camp is considered exceedingly
serious, especially in view of the fact
that the Chicago game, acknowledged
to be the most critical contest of the
season, comes at the early date of Oct.
81.
Four weeks ago Graduate Manager
George F. Downer had every assurance
of being able to turn over to Coach
King at least 40 promising football
candidates, who would line up ready
for practice promptly at the official
call. Last week 16 candidates reported
for practice at Marinette and the list

The comparative cheapness of
letter postage in this country has
induced most people to adopt this
form of correspondence almost ex-
clusively, while those who advertise
by circulars through the mails are
inclined to generally follow the
plan of enclosing them in envelopes
and pay the necessary one cent
postage for each. At the same
time as showing that the old time
postal card has not gone into disuse
entirely, it is stated that no less
than no, 900, 900 were carried in the
mails of this country last year, and
with the growing craze for sending
so-called souvenir postals it is pre-
dicted that the total for this year
will be even higher.

Times Recorder: Nothing that has
appeared IN print of recent years has
attracted more general interest through
out Georgia than the Osborne Morris
controversy. Just how long it will last
is uncertain; it seems to have reached
the accute stage already, at least on the
part of Mr. Morris, and with grand
flourish he concludes his letter of the
10Th inst. and states that he will write
no more. very much regret that the
m alter should have taken the personal
turn that it has, for really nobody
wanted to read anything of this nature,
and as long as vll1fcation and personal
denunciatlon were omitted the letters
made real interesting reading.
They have now become rather strenu-

writer's in sending them to the public

warrior caused them to feel that they
were imbIbing some of his erstwhiIe
martial spirit? I Judge not, but as
all human conduct has some motive
underlying it, assume that this ex-

have been prompted by motive; how
