simply exchange mileage for adj

SUBSCRIPTION SIS PER YEAR
The Extremist.

IT IS A pretty safe rule to keep
to the golden mean.
Here is preacher Of the Cos
pei in New York who comes for
ward with yellow" sermon in
which he advocates the open
theatre, the open museum and
the open saloon on Sunday. In
his reaction against that senti-
ment within the church which
puts a ban on all innocent pleas
ures the preacher has gone to
the other extreme. Both ex-
tremes are equally bad and we
are as thoroughly convinced that
the man who teaches that it is
wicked to attend the theatre or
to indulge in the pleasure of an
innocent dance is as surely an
agent of evil as he who throws
wide the gates of restraint and
calls all Indulgence good.
Why not be reasonable? Why
not be natural? Cannot the ex.
tremist see that the forbidding
of all natural enjoyments newt
ably forces men to ind ulgence of
the unnatural? There is good
and bad in everything on earth.
If we are to reject everything
that contains any faint Of bad
there will be little if anything
left in life to live for.
Look hard at the teaching of
the extremist; his precepts are
pretty sure to lead in the wrong
direction.

INDUSTRIES CLOSED DOWN
PITTseURG IN THE THRoEs OF
THE ANNUAL FLOOD OF
THE ALLEGHENY.

Pittsburg, March 21.-Pittsburg is
In the throes of an annual flood. For
tunately, however, the damage to prop
erty will be minimized compared with
former years as the vast river inter-
ests, railroads and other business at
fected by floods had ample warning
and preparations were made accord
ingly. Up to the middle of last week
heavy SHOWS remained in the upper
ESQ miles OF the Allegheny valley and
tributaries and the high temperature
OF the past week melted the snow and
a warm rain Sunday caused flood con-
ditions from the headwaters to this
city. Already the lowlands are sub
merged and mills and factories on the
river fronts have been forced to sus-
pend operations. The crest of the
flood is looked for in Pittsburg by
nightfall and stage of thirty feet is
expected.
The Allegheny is running like a mill
race and, although practically clear Of
ice, it is carrying great deal of tim
Der and debris. The ice for the great
er part ran out during the early morn
ing hours and as far as could be
learned no damage resulted from it.
The situation at many places in the
vicinity is serious, Portions of Taren-
tum, Freeport, Ford City, Kittanning,
Harmavi1le, Sharpsburg, Etna, Iatro-
ma, Creighton, KountZ and Hite are
c,,1 ~, l,
compelled to remove to the upper
floors of their homes and in many
cases have had to desert them en-
tirely.
Nearly every manufacturing plant
along the Allegheny river has closed
down, throwing tens of thousands OF
men out of work temporarily.
At Ford City the fire company was
called out early in the morning and
rescued fifty Polish families.
AT Oil City the water is higher than
it was in 1866, which was the record.

ter. Traffic on the Meadyille traction

The New York Mutual Life Insurance
company has agreed to pay over $22S,-
900 of life insurance on the life of the
late c. J. DevIin to Receiver Bradley of
the defunct First National bank. There
are two policies in addition which were
assigned over, one for 1925 900, an en-
dowment policy and another for 100000
over which there is dispute, the com
pany claiming that it has lapsed.
The company has agreed to pay the
S25,OOO endowment policy but the re-
ceiver is now making a deal by which
it will be transferred for $4,000, its
face value. to Mrs. Devlin, who is con-
sidering it's purchase.
The endowment policy is payable in
yearly installments of $3.50 for twen-
ty years. By cashing in this policy now
the receiver gets $4,000.
The remaining policy of $4,000 the
company refuses to pay and the re-
ceiver vii have to take recourse to a
suit to secure IT'S collection.
Mulvane & Gault, the attorneys for
the receiver of the First National, will
bring the suit to secure the collection.

Tired of Fighting the Govern
ment's Prosecutions.
THE MAIN REASON rs
They Hope to Head OF Proposed
Congressional Action.
Designed to Regulate Rates
Through a Commission.

New York, Dec. 21.@The Times to-
day says the big railroads of the
country have agreed to abolish re-
bates to shippers according to reports
which were circulated yesterday. Sew
eral conferences on the subject have
been held recently. This action is the
direct result of the many prosecutions
recently undertaken by the federal
government against railroads and rail-
road ohicials for Infringement of the
anti-rebate clauses in the federal
statutes.
An officer of one Of the railways,
the officials of which were indicted at
Kansas City, while denying that his
own road had broken the law, said
that there was not the slightest doubt
that the giving of rebates would come
to an end as a result of the prosecu-
tions.
The information that rebates would
be abolished came not only from rail-
road officials. but from prominent
banking interests, Which directly or
indirectly control many railroads. The
agreement to do away with rebates is
intended to weaken the arguments
advanced in favor of the rate legisla-
ton.

BASIS OF REDUCTION.

The state board Of railroad commls-
sioners today issued an order requiring
the railroads of the state to make a re
duction of about II per cent in the
existing rates on lump coal to all towns
in the state where the present rate Is
so cents per ton or over
This viii make the rate to Topeka
on lump coal 1924 from Pittsburg, IN
stead of $40.
The exact basis OF the reduction IS
one cent per ton per mile. The reduc-
ton applies TO all stations in the state.
on twenty-six towns selected at ran
dom, the average present rate is $1.71
per ton. and the reduction will average
20 cents per ton. The reduction will
take effect about the last Of January.
No reductions were made on the
slack. coal rate. The railroads made a
voluntary reduction in slack coal some
time ago, and While the people living
at Wichita and other central Kansas
points demanded d further reduction,
the request was turned down by the
board.
The board did not take up the con-
sideration of the salt rate case. This
case was postponed until after Christ
mas.
In order to show the general charae-
ter of the reductions which are made
in the lump coal rate under the one
cent per ton mile order, the following
list of towns has been prepared, show
ing the present rate from the coal
fields, and the amount of the proposed
