n exclusive announcement yester-
day that big bunch of indictments
had been returned by the federal grand
jury as result of its rebate investiga-
lions in Minneapolis. Surprise was ex-
pressed, not SO much at the fact that
the government had unearthed evidence
OF favors to shippers, as that certain
forms Of favors had been stamped as

Never Dreamed Of Trouble.
Time. was when there were as manv
different rates as there were shippers.
and the latter were eager applicants
Tor special favors.. In some respects
the situation resemb1ed thta of the mer-
camille houses which sell by list and
olscounts-a certain published price
and then 90 and 10 off, as the case
might be. In the last two years, how-
ever, any favors granted have. been SO
cleverly disguised in cloak of appar-
ent legitimacy that many shippers have
accepted them conscientiousuiy, never
dreaming of trouble. The railroad rep.
resentatives themselves have been larues
X responsible for this state of afa1rs.
They have been insistent applicants for
business and have peddled their dis
gulsed favors in most attractive form.

before the federal grand jury said to-
day that he had always opposed the re-
batting system, but that some Of the
proposals made to him by railroad
freight solicitors were so plausibly
framed up that it would have taken
Philadelphia lawyer to analyze them
and reveal the rebate. When this is
thoroly understood it is easy to explain
why the announcement of the indict-
ments was received at the Chamber Of
Commerce with such general indications
Of gstupefied surprise.

Those Republicans whoagree with
President Roosevelt on the encroach.
ment Of the federal judiciary should
remember that nearly all the federal
judges are Republicans, appointed
by Republican presidents, and con-
tirmed by Republican Senate. The
antecedents of these judges before
their appointment to the bench gen.
orally expose that they were cor
poration attorneys before their ele-
walton and in most cases partisans
OF the strictest type. The appoint
ments made by President Roosevelt
and his immediate predecessor are
nearly all of this character, so the
denunciatioDs of President Roosevelt
reflect upon the appointments of him.
self and his predecessors. AS the
federal judges are appointed for life
they should certainly be free. from
the corporation faint, but although
the President Processes to be fight
ing trusts and corporations most of
his appointments to the federal bench
have been notorious corporation and
trust attorneys. 1t is only neces-
sary to cite the appointment OF ex-
Sen ator Joseph Quarlesof Wisconsin
and ex-senator Pritchard of North
Carolina and James E. Boyd of North
Carolina to point the moral and
adorn the tale.

Washington ID. G. May 81, 1906.
Finally the Senate has finished
with the Rate bill. The Allison
amendment, which may be Senator
Allison or may be someone else's.
has been incorporated. The fateful
words, lin its Judgement, have
been stricken out and the Inter
state Commerce Commission is left
without specific instructions to do
something it will have to do anyhow.
No, the bill has not passed. There
are still some speeches to be made
by gentlemen who want 10 get into
the Congressional Record. But the
Senate is as good as done with the
bill. Now comes the question how
far the House will agree TO the
amended bill, and there is q pros.
pect OF long and perhaps stormy
conference over the measure. No
one yet knows whether il is consti.
tutional or not and the bill at the
best will vest the rate making DOW

tions that has been held in Wash
ington for long time is now in ses-
sion. 1t is the joint meeting of the
Association of American Physicians
and the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of TubercuIo-
sis. 1t will be recollected that this
Association was the outgrowth OF
the commission appointed by the
President to study the subject. IL
has had the effect of bringing some
OF the best minds in the medical pro-
fession to the study of consumption
and has resulted in the first organic
ed fight that has ever been made
against the Great White Plague. 1t
was pointed out by one of the speak
ers this week that the ravages of
tuberculosis in the United States in
single year wipe out more people
and cause greater amount of loss
and suffering, save perhaps the &C.
tual money loss, than the Galveston
food, the San Francisco earthquake
and the Baltimore and Chicago fires
combined.
DR.. Billings, in addressing the
convention, said frankly that the
medical profession had come to the
conclusion that there was no specific
drug for the cure of tuberculosis.
The medical profession had been
twenty FIVE years in arrivinga at that
conclusion, aud the average layman
was now % years behind the medi-
cal profession and still chung to the
idea that there was some specific
against the disease. DIR. Billings
said, and the convention agreed
with him, that the only hope for the
work lay in broadcast campaign of
education among the people. The
masses must be shown the real facts,
namely that tuberculosis was Meth
er hereditary nor contagious, though
it was communicates from consump-
tive TO a well person If the most
sanitary life was not led and the
greatest care taken against spread
ing the media of contagion, namely
the sputum from the consumptive
patient. If this were done, and il
could easily be done, there was no
danger TO be apprehended and the
plague could be stamped out.
There was world of interesting
material in the convention and the
words of education and eradication
outlined were so sane and simple
that it made one wish to help the
cause along by showing just how
much and how little there really.
was to be dreaded from the disease.
IL may be said however that the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis has
q lot of simple aud interesting read
ing matter prepared on the subject
which it is willing to distribute and
any one who is interested in the
matter can help themselves and
help the work by communicating
with the Association. +

One OF th e local papers has come

delivered in the House some time
during the coming week. naming

thing in such shape that the old

piece OF gossip that is given for
what il may be worth. There is
no authentic record of man yet re-
fusing the nomination for the Presi-
dency when IL was definitely ten
dered him. Speaker Cannon says
he has enough trouble running the
House and is not particularlarly
after the nomination. But it is pos
sible he might be induced to do
violence to his feelings If he were
violently approached. There is just
one thing against the suggestion,
and that is that it is a little early
for the real boom to be launched.
Presidential candidates are not
usually named so far in advance of

BILE IL the Cannon boom is launched
at this time that it may wither with
some other booms already launched

The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1906-09-28

Former Auditor General Stone is out
in an open letter attacking Gov. War
ner for statements made in a recent adj
dress in regard to state finances under
the democratic administration in 1912.
Mr.. Stone would have the public be-
lieve that the succeeding republican adj
ministration was responsible for the
borrowing of money to meet state ex-
penses but an extract from the message
of Gov. Rich to the legislature of 1895
shows the truth of the matter. Gov.
Rich said:
ION Nov. 1, 1893, after the apportion-
ment of the primary school fund was
made, for the first time in many years.
Michigan confronted an empty treas
ury. This was not caused so much by
increased expenditure as it was by the
failure of the legislature of 1891 to levy
taxes sufficient to meet what reasonably
might have been contemplated would
be the needs of the state, and while
there was no direct authority for hiring
money the railroads were offered an in
ducement of per cent discount from
Nov. to Jan. following, to advance
their taxes due in January"
Thus it was shown that the Demo
cratic legislature of 1891 was responsible
for the deficiency which it was incum-
bent upon the succeeding Republican
administration to meet.

was the expression from several of the

ready to do everything possible for the
election of their successful rivals and
for the entire ticket.
