President a. B. Stickney, of the Chi
cago Great Western, talking to Wash
ington STAR reporter about the new
rate law, said
when you think that since the inter
state commerce act was passed Is years
ago there have been 2,500,000 tariff
sheets filed, or 400 a day, you will realize
how difficult it is for shipper to keep
himself informed of rates, even if the
tariff sheets are the embodiment of sim
plicity itself The law ill never be sue
cessfully enforced if the commission de-
pends on occasional prosecutions of rail-
roads for its violations You might as
well get rid of mosquito pect by ap-
pointing a commission to catch mosquitoes
found in the act of depositing their NAL
arial poisons in the bodies of citizens. A
railroad that is to secure 100000 worth
of freight by violating the law may be
willing to pay fine of $4,000.
1.-The fact is with all that we may do
l look upon the work of educating the
public generally, and the railroad in par
ticular to the dishonesty of railway dis
examinations as the prime means for get
ting rid of them The law is well enough,
but it will not stamp them out alone.
Men must be brought to a sense of the
meaHness Of such practices before they
can be stamped out and then the law will
remain to take care of cases that may
arse occasionally.
1t is like a law against stealing. Men
do not refrain from ordinary theft be-
cause Of a fear of being fined or impris-
oned. When 1 go to England l do not
care TO inform myself about the penalties
for violating the laws and l do not care
to inquire about acts that are legal or
illegal. Ny sense of proper conduct
guides me. So it should be in respect to
this elias of acts concerning railroad rates
A sense Of honesty should prevent a
man from seeking or from Offering adj
vantages that are unfair to others. When
men look upon such practices as of the
same nature as ordinary theft then they
win become as rare IS ordinary theft.
In the meantime the commission
should make regulations that win cause

One of Hudson County's delegates IN
the 1906 House of Assembly was Harry
F. Thompson. Mr.. Thompson drew his
salary, $500. at the beginning of the re-
cent session as did most of his col
leagues His term will not expire until
next Januarys meeting of the Legisla-
ture chosen this fall The State consti-
tuition provides that
Senators and Assemblymen shall
receive annually the sum of five hun
dred dollars during the time for
which they shall have been elected,
and while they shall hold their office,
and no other allowance or emolu-
ment, directly or indirectly, for any
purpose whatever.
Yet Harry F. Thompson was appoint
ed member of the Hudson County
Board of Elections the other day upon
the recommendation of State Chairman
Frank o. Briggs. Membership on the
County Board is State office, though.
the County pays the salary.
Thompson has been member of the
Board of Elections heretofore. He was
a member last fall until he got Repub-
liean nomination for Assembly. The an
omoly of a candidate for office canvass
ing his own vote appealed to him and he
got off. But now he has the job again,
