Just Discrimination in Railway Rates.

Just Discrimination in Railway Rates.
All railroad men qualified to speak
on the subject in a responsible way
are likely to agree with President
Samuel Spencer Of the Southern Rail-
way when he says: There is no d.
vision of opinion as to the desirability
of stopping all secret or unjustly dis
criminatory devices and practises OF
whatsoever character"
Mr.. Spencer, in speaking of "un-
Justly discriminatory" rates and de-
vices, makes a distinction which is at
once apparent to common sense. There
may be discrimination in freight rates
which is just, reasonable and impera-
lively required by the complex com
mercial and geographical conditions
with which expert rate makers have
to deal. TO abolish such open mt
honest discrimination might paralyze
the industries of cities, states and
whole sections of our national terri
tory.
This distinction between just and
unjust discrimination is clearly recog-
nized in the conclusions of the Inter
national Railway Congress, published
yesterday:
Tariffs should be based on CONNER
cial principles. taking into account the
special conditions which bear upon the
commercial value of the services rem
dered. With the reservation that rates
shall be charged without arbitrary dis
elimination TO all shippers alike under
like conditions, the making Of rates
should as far as possible have all the
elasticity necessary to permit the deVel-
opment OF the traffic and TO produce the
greatest results to the public and to the
railroads themselves"
The present proposal is, as Mr..
Walker D.. Hines of Louisville showed
in his remarkable testimony the other
day before the Senate Committee at
Washington, to crystalline flexible and
Justly discriminatory rates into fixed
government rates which cannot be
changed except by the Intervention OF
some government tribunal, and by this
very process to increase "the tempta-
ton to depart from the published rate
and the lawful rate in order to meet
some overpowering and urgent com
mercial condition. New York Sun.

HER WEAKNESS GONE

CONQUERED AT LAST.
Mrs. Murphy Tells Her FeIlow-suFerers
How She Got Rid OF Serious Troubles
by Simple Home Treatment

by Simple Home Treatment
at had been bothered for several
years" said Mrs. Murphy, "by stomach
disorder, and finally 1 became very weak
and nervous. Flashes of heat would
pass over me, and I would feel as if /
was sinking down. At such times I
could not do any household work, but
would have to lie down, and afterwards
wouldh have very trying nervou sspells."
Didn't you have a doctor? ?" she was
asked.
Eyes, I consulted several doctors but
my health did not improve. One day a
friend asked me why l did not try DR..
Williams Pink Pills. She assured me
that they had proved of the greatest ben
eft in the case of her daughter. In fact,
she praised them so enthusiastically that
my husband got me a box"
"And what was the result?"
"Before 1 had taken half Of the first
box my condition was greatly improved.
The ~quickness with which they reached
and relieved all my troubles was really
surprising. After 1 had used only three
boxes 1 had no more heat-fiashes OF
weak spells. Thanks to them, 1 have
become a well woman"
Mrs. Mary d. Murphy lives at No,
1903 Force street, Fort Wayne, Indiana.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills, the remedy
which she found so satisfactory, furnish
directly to the blood the elements that
give vigor to every tissue of the body.
They can be depended on to revive fail
ing strength, and to Danish ervou
ness. Their tonic properties are abso-
lutely unsurpassed.
AS soon as there is drag, or dizziness, or
pallor, or poor circulation, or disordered
digestion, or re~stlessness, or pains, or ir-
regularities of any kind these famous
pills should be used. They have cured
the most obstinate cases of anemia, dys-
pepsia, rheumatism, neuralgia, v
prostration and ven partial paralysis.

pense of her husband A pathetic
figure Lady Kitty surely was but does
not William Ashe also deserve our
Pity And as for laying on the lat
ter the burden of responsibility of the
sins of his wife that is sheer folly.
Lady Kitty was not a good woman, in
the common acceptance of the term
could not have been and would not
have been no matter whom she had
married. She tried two men and was
untrue to both and although that is not
certain evidence that she would have
been equally unlucky with another or
any other the facts in the case certainly
warrant the suspicion. In the first place
Lady Kitty was surely not well bal
anced. There was always a dark hint
about her-there was that bad strain in
her ancestry, and she certainly acted
like mad woman about half the time
This, alone, if it excuses her sins and
follies also frees her husband from all
responsibility for what was but the I'M
avoidable result of bad blood and bad
breeding.
OF course William Ashe married Kitty
with open eyes. He knew all about her
origin, her previous training. he had
abundant proof, from his first meeting
with her. that she was not the normal
young English woman or French jeune
file. She was capricious, cratic, pet
ulant, arrogant, Wilful, selfish and IN
conventional For all these reasons APP
parently, and because she was very
pretty in delicate, sprite-like way, and
very small and appealing and chic, he
fell in love with her and married her
against the wishes of his mother and
all his conservative friends. In so doing
he accepted a great responsibility but
to say that he did not fulfill his obli-
cations, in letter and spirit, is to do a.
grave injustice to one of the most thor
