The Railroad Rate Question.

The question of railroad rebates
is just now exciting the President
ami Congress, and there is move
ment on foot to authorize the Gov
eminent to make rates. We are
satisfied that this is an error. In
the first place, the making OF rates
is very intricate business, and it
is altogether impracticable for the
Government to fix rates to control
all the roads in the United States.
This is privilege that belongs to
the roads themselves, just as gro
Ger or dry goods merchant has a
right to put price upon his wares.
What is desirable is that there
shall be uniformity of charges. and
no invidious discrimination against
individuals or communities. If the
Government can establish uniform
ity and prevent discrimination, it
will have done all that it is called
upon to do.
There are laws now upon the
statute books emphatically con-
demning favoritism and discrimina-
ton. We do not doubt that all
railroads would prefer to charge
uniform rates; but it frequently
happens that those who control the
roads are themselves shippers, or
the business associates of shippers,
and through them special rates are
obtained. This is unquestionably
a great evil, but there is law
against it, and this law has been in
existence ever since 1887. II any
community is Disseminated against
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has the authority to correct it.
Why, then, should any further laws
be passed on the subject? What is
necessary is to enforce the existing
laws. If they can't be enforced, it
is not likely that more drastic laws
along the same lines can be en-
forced. All railroads have public
rate schedules, but it often happens
that some favored individual gets a
rebate by virtue of which he is able
to successfully fight and perhaps
rout his rivals. This is against the
law; but as the arrangement is
secret it is hard to prove. Still the
thing to do is to gather the proof,
so as to make a case, and then en-
force the law. There are a great
many violations of the laws which
are hard to prove, and any methods
that will facilitate the collection of
evidence are all right; but these
methods should be strictly in ac-
cordance with the rights of the peo-
pie and the general theory of the
law. We have already in the stat
ute books laws against all the evils
Of. Manifestly the
thing to do is to enforce these laws,
before we pile up a lot of additional
laws upon them, that would proba.

Mrs. b. w. Evans, Clearwater, Kan,

three months. The doctors said he
had quick consumption. We procured
a bottleof Billiards. Horehound Syrup,

OUR PEOPLE.

We know Of no town on earth
and it would be a conservatiy,
statement TO say that we had seer
as many as the average citizen
whose merchants. lawyers, doctors
and business men are more honor
able, conscientious, conservative,
self-respecting, charitable, gener-
Gus than those who live in Union
City. We know of no community
which is freer from ringsters,
schemers, grafters, crooks than
that which embraces the town of
Union City. We know of no So
ciety which is as free from that
abominable and uncertain quantity
known as aristocracy as that of
Union City. We know of no
place on earth which is freer from
classes and distinctions among its
own people aud those of its coun-
try neighbors than that of Union
City. Even many of our own cit
liens and some of the wealthiest
men in town are farmers. Some
of them have within the past few
months moved to town. Union
City is naturally an agricultural
town. There is community of
interests between the citizens of
this place and those in the country
surrounding it, and no one appre-
ciates and recognizes the fact more
than the merchant or business man
of Union City. The countryman
feels at home on the streets of Tn.
ion City; the merchant or citizen
feels at home in the country.
Their interests are identical, and
in no place in the world is it more
manifest than in this section.
There are towns even in Tennes-
see where this is not true.
There has been an effort to de-
stroy this state of things, a malev-
olent design to array in open
hostility the farmer class and the
business man of Union City, a.
frenzied attempt to infame the
country people against Union City
a shadow of excuse or
provocation. 1t has been done,
however, and for no other purpose
than to crafty selfish ambition.
This same agitation had its origin
in a war against only one or two
political leaders in Union City, and
because there was an objection to
these two men the town of Union
City must be made target for
explosives and invectiye.
Never was so baseless charge and
so unjust a cause. Union City
was the ground of attack because
a frenzied crusade had located
within her boundaries a deadly |
ring or clique a dummy.
A fabric more flimsy or a gauze
SO thin was never perpetrated, |
and this paper hoped never to be
called on to refer to the subject
again, for the people had fortu-
nately forgotten it and those men
for its existence were
ashamed Of it. We presumed its
malodorous fumes had been extin-
guished and that they would never
again survive. 1t was, however,
left for the law court organ at
Obion to pick up the dirty linen
and shake from its folds all sorts
Of disease germs and poisons. 1t
would also be unwise to speak spf
The Outlook but for the fact that
it had again sought to inhame the
good people of the county against
the town of Union City by crying
clique. 1t is as baseless as
the fabric of MONDAY vision and
as false as the glories of sheol.
The Commercial printed the
communications from "The Com
mittee" as paid matter; it also
printed the Tom Morris letter as
paid matter. 1t is a lie that it was
bribery in either case. The Com

Insurance Commission Exposes an
Underground Business.

Insurance Commissioner Young says
that for sometime the international
Registry Company. of New York mas
been undertaking to do an under
ground business in this State. Not
long ago he issued a warning 10 the
public, telling them Of the character
Of this company and the danger of pa
troniZing ii. The commissioner says
hs learned q few days ago that this
company was proposing 10 issue in the
State the accident policies of the IN
ion Casualty * Surety Company, for
merly doing business in St Louis. Mo.
although this company has not been
in a position 10 do business in North
Carolina legally since the first of jan
uary. 1904. This is but another proof
of the unworthinesS OF the Internal
uonaI Registry Company and the Cit
liens OF the State are warned against
them" said Mr.. Young. They do not
business legally i'm the State but flood
the State with circulars offering TO
pay agents large commissions on nus
mess and many persons in the State
are inclined to accept their offers and
take UP their work. Any one repre-
senting them will lay himself liable to
the penalties of the law. fine and inn
prisonmenL And any one patronizing
them indirectly through agents will il,
the end find that he has been duped. :
