>In several of the states rates
have been fixed 10y direct act OF the
legislature or by orders of state com
mission. In most OF these states
the schedule OF rates is required to
be on distance basis, and in all ct
them the tendency has been for dis
lance tariIiS. Human nature is 50
constituted that it is much more
easy to solve the question Of equal
lily between towns and communities
and interests, by giving them all en-
aCtly the same rate per ton per mile,
than to attempt the difficult task of
adjusting rates to the satisfaction OF
all, The result is that commissions.
which have the power to make rates
find themselves constantly drifting
toward distance tariff. in the hope
Of avoiding the criticisms of towns,
cities and regions which are de-
manding their favor
In the Minneapolis Journal Of last Sun
day appeared a signed interview Of the
Journals Washington correspondent, W.
W, Jermane, with Judge Charles A.
Prouty Of the interstate commerce COM
mission. Judge Prouty dictated and re-
viSed the interview. SO its accuracy can
be vouchcd for. He is understood to be
in President Roosevelt S confidence very
closely, SO his statements may be regard
ed as giving with authority the presi-
dents views Judge Prouty says in part:
''PreSident Roosevelt proposes to
confer upon the interstate commerce
commission not the ratemakin9 but
the ratercgulating power. The rail
ways are entirely free to put into ef-
feet any rate which they choose,
and the rates which they establish
cannot be changed unless upon com
plaint and after full investigation.
If complaint is made and the COM
mission determines after hearing of
all parties that the rate complained
Of is unreasonable then and only
then. it may order the carriers to
charge in place of the unjust rate
one which is just
In the past the commission has
frequently passed upon this claim
that rates should be made according
to distance and has invariably de-
Clined to apply that rule when COM
petitive conditions prevailed In
the very last case decided involving
the rates upon export traffic to Bos-
ton, New York, Philadelphia and
Baltimore from western points, the
commission held that the rate to the
port of export ought not to be deter
mined by distance, but should be SO
adjusted as to permit free compet-
tion through all the ports. In fun
ther confirmation of this may cite
from the opinion of the commission
in the Denver case. Rates to points
on the Pacific coast are in some cas-
es lower than to Denver. the Pacific
coast rate being made to meet water

MORE than year before the conven-
tion the Canton NeagS brings out Hon.
+. II. Cuthbert of that city for attorney
general on the republican ticket. Mr..
Cuthbert is an able lawyer, an honor
able gentleman and personally we'll
qualified for the position. We fear,
however, that the Lincoln County re-
publicans are hardly In shape TO sue
cessfully ask for much OF anything next
year at the hands of the republican con
vention. Lincoln county last year had
q state nominee who fairly had to get
down on his marrow bones before his
home constituency In order to get
their endorse ment and thus avoided
the Ktngsbury county situation where
the candidate was nominated without
home endorsement. We have also
heard it reported that Mr.. Cuthbert is
on the wrong side Of the railroad rate
revision matter.

the differences between the two nations.
The probability is that the separation
will be permanent and that the present
unfortunate differences and iealousies
will increase rather than disappear.

Senator Fox Of McHenry

the state senate which, if it
should become a law, will have
a serious effect upon lumber
dealers throughout the state.
AS the law now stands, a lumber
mans lien is superior to that Of

The market for Wheat has become
more interesting again by reasons of

better tone to the market, but talk Of
poor demands for Wheat and Flour and
large receipts of Wheat at primary
points has disappeared, and attention
f Is now being directed to the news that
carries with it unmistakable evidence
That the shortage in the last crop was
not overestimated. Foreign markets
also are advancing and getting in line
with general opinion that the making
up Of the absence of United States,
further Russian shipments cannot be
accomplished without a material rise
in prices. 5ssis 4
Here at home we have a strong set
of conditions that are coming in force

PRIVILEGED

Simeon Ford enjoys nothing better
than to tell story of the humors Of
the hotel business.
"a friend of mine in the West" says
Mr.. Ford, "once related to me the
trials and fluctuations of the people
employed in the office of his hostelry
to keep in proper bounds a young
man from Chicago who, as soon IA be
had registered proceeded to make
things lively. The first evening he
spent with them be did the proprietor
out of neat sum at poker the next
night he returned to his quarters
considerably intoxicated after having
whipped his cabby; the third night he
gave an impromDtu concert in the
halls. This was too much for the
hotel people F.; they asked for his key
and rendered his bill. Evidently the
amount thereof was not to his liking,
for he exclaimed, pathetically:

discount to the clergy ?"-Harper's

How 10 Dress.

To youth and health the girl who
wants to be attractive must add the
grace Of neatness and suitable dress,
says the Chicago News. She should
study herself-her good points, that
she may heighten; her bad points, that
she may lessen their effect A girl with
red hair, for instance, may so. dress
herself that she will be delightful to
look at. She must learn to choose the
right shade and color. She must avoid
puppies, crude pinks and violet con-
trasts, but The bronze browns, creams,
faint blues and delicate green's may
suit her and bring out the loneliness
Of her complexion and the rich lights
In her hair. A stout girl must not wear
plaids or load herself with trimmings
and founces. A slender girl, on the
other hand, should avoid stripes, which
add to her inches. Attention to shoes
and gloves, to nicely In the matter Of
neckwear, to cuffs and collars and the
trifes that give pretty finishing touches
will make q girl seem beautiful when
perhaps she has little claim to that dis
tinction.
