RAILROAD RATE LEGISLATION.

Mr.. Bryan seems to be sensitive on
the question of Borrowed political
Clothes" and in nearly all of his
speeches since his return from Eu
rope he has accused the Republican
party of borrowing from the Demo
cratic platform in his recommends
ton for railroad rate Legislation. The
peerless leader of the Democratic
party need not worry about this mat
ter 1t is true that the Democratic
national platform had plank de-
manding more stringent rate legisla-
ton, but If Mr.. Bryan will remember,
President Roosevelt'S first recon-
rnendation on this subject was in his
first annual message to congress in
1901, and has been in all his mes
sages since that date.
But President Roosevelt made no
claim to originality in this recon-
mendation, any more than he gave
credit to the Democratic party and
Mr.. Bryan for patent right on 1t.
The president simply followed in the
Republican pathway that has been a
highway of rate legislation for twenty
years past. The original act Great
ing the interstate commerce commits
sion was passed by Republican con
gress nearly twenty years ago, and
there has not been n Republican con
gress since that time which has not
amended the act to make it more ef-
fective
Railway rate regulation is a policy |
of the United States government, and
will be as long as the Republican
party controls the government. 1t Is |
simply a development of the old Re-
publican policy that this is nation
and not simply federation OF states;
that the federal government has the
power to control and regulate inter
state commerce. as 1t has to improve

ANOTHER cRAcKERJAcK
BALL GAME

The visitors at the fair grounds
are getting their moneys worth this
year in more ways than one, and par
ticularly so in regard to the ball
games. Durangoltes are in great
giee over the superb work of their
players and even II they should fall
down today there win be no com
rlaint when 1t is taken into consider
alton that Silyerton players are all
professionals except oLe--Jack Cole.
The game yesterday was as pretty
as one could desire to see. Durango
was first to bat and only got one man
to first and this proved true when
Silverton went to bat For seven in
nings not a man crossed home plate
In the eighth inning the fireworks
started by a two-base hit by Staley
and there was no letup until Du-
range got in four runs-eyery one
earned. In the last half of the same
inning Silverton scored one run by
apparent courtesy of the umpire at
home plate owing to the player run
ming out of line to escape being
touched by the ball. And this run
was also the result OF an error Of
Center Fielder Setter who dropped
long fly, being unfortunate in step
ping on a gopher hole and losing his
balance at the critical moment when
the ball dropped. In the ninth inning
neither side scored.
And while we are on baseball lei
us inform Durango fans that our To-
cal players are not the only ones who
make errors and muff balls. True,
many were disappointed at the way
Roberts dropped the bali Thursday,
but yesterday Silyerton's crack third
haseman muffed an easy one in ad-
clifton to having fly knocked out of
his hands by a fielder running into
him. This bad playing is not all on
one side by any means.
Batteries-Folk and Hughes; Zim-
norman and Briefly. Two-base hits,
Durango 2; three-base hits, Durango
1; strike-outs. Folk 3, Zimmerman G.
In the eighth inning Briefly had
his right thumb split open, almost to
the extent of retiring him from the
game, by a foul tip, and while he was
at disadvantage the remainder OF
the game no errors were charged up
to him and the four runs made by
Durango were earned.

PAT HAD THE BEST OF 1T.

A young Roman Catholic curate
was preaching his first sermon, and
chose for his text the miracle of the
loaves and fishes. But he said, "And
they fed ten people with ten thou
sand loaves of bread and ten thou
sand fishes Thereat an freshman
said: That's no miracle; / could do
that myself" The priest overheard.
The next Sunday he announced the
same text, but had it RICH this time.
And they fed ten thousand people
On ten loaves and ten fishes" He
waited moment, and then leaning
over the pulpit, said. Gould you do
that Mr.. Murphy?" Murphy replied,
Sure, yer reverence, l could" "And
how could you do it?" Sure, yer
reverence, | could, l could do it with
what was left over from last Sun
day."-Ex.

CANDIDATE BRYAN's
QUILL TOOTHPICk

William J. Bryan met reverse on
shipboard or the way across. Hence
forth he will have TO reckon with the
anti-toothrick party
The anti-toothpick party is no joke
Women are at the head of 1t, and
they seem to be in deadly earnest
This is the way 1t happened:
Mr.. Bryan uses quill toothpieks.
To be exact about It, he uses one
toothpick. That is TO say. he gets a
good goosequill toothpiok and he cul-
tivstes an affinity for that particu,
lar quill. He keeps up partnership
with the toothpick until 1t no longer
possesses res liency.
With Mr.. Bryan good quill tooth
pick is as dear as bimetallism, and
lasts almost as long. He found the
right kind of a quill toothpick in st
Petersburg last winter, and carried it
all the way along the route. He
chewed on II when he shook hands
with the mikado of Japan. stuck it
back into his vest pocket after hob
nobbing with all the satraps of the
Orient, and kept 1t In service until
he reached the Battery.
On the way over on the Princess
Irene the old quill toothpck became
a social and political issue. 1t had
become frayed, splint5red and un-
lovely. Mr.. Bryan became gracious
as usual. with the women on the voy-
age home. The old quill also was
in polite society, but was
cut dead.
On It's last appearance it looked
like linen dishrag. 1t had arms
and legs, which were spread out like
the drying pelt of laccoon on
woodshed door. Moreover, it had
1t had become so elong-
ated that once It was mistaken for
book agents sample volume, and at
onother time it was mistaken for
dried fish from Japan.
Mr.. Bryan, however, did not dis
solve the partnership. Like other
old saws" 1t seemed to be indis-
pensable. The climax WAS reached
when Mr.. Bryan drew" the quill af-
ter lunch on Wednesday. 1t was mis-
taken by one of the crew for an old
harpaon which had been
slowed away in the hold. Mr. Bryan
was asked not TO remove the machln-
cry from the ship.
The women thereupon organized
he American Anti-ToothpiclS society,

into the history of these questions he
will find that until quite recently his
party, If the Democratic parry is his
party. has protested that the federal
government had no power to do those

has not only claimed that the govern

executive to enforce this policy. An

Mr. Bryan may not be conscious OF
the fact, but in all his preaching on
the railroad question, prior to the
last year, the clothes he thought were
made to his measure were simply ap-
propriated out of the Republican
wardrobe.

Fair Great Success

In misjudging fly ball the score
would have been to O..
The game started promptly with
Silverton to bat, the first man up,
Zimmerman, the strong hitter, strik-
ing out, followed by Briefly being
put out at first. Morehead then made
n clean two-base hit, followed by
Hamilton who sent fly into right
field which should have been taken
in easily by Roberts. but he mis-
Judged it and Hamilton made two
bases while Morehead scored, Hamil-
ton scoring on safe hit by Scofield.
These were the only runs made by
Silverton, although 1t looked rather
dubious several times.
The first three men mp for Du-
range, supposed to be the best bat
ters, struck out. In the second in
ring Caldwell landed for a two-bag
ger and scored later. There were
two innings in which 1t looked good

stand stood and cheered. There were
no more runs and Durango did no

THE ATLANTA RACE RIOT.

The rioting and indiscriminate
murder of negroes in Atlanta will in
evitably become the occasion, both
in this country and in Europe, for
fresh comparisons between the treat
ment of the blacks in the United
States and the Jews in Russia. At
lanta will be a name placed along
with Kischineff, Bialystock and Sled
Ice.
So far as the immediate provoea-
ton for the rloting is worse in At
lanta than in Russian cities Atlanta
viii make the better showing( but so
far as the innocent have been killed
in the stead of the guilty 1t will make
10 better showing
So far as public officials have re-
Trained from melting riot Atlanta will
make the better showing, but so far
as rioting has occurred which more
energetic measures by police or
militia could have prevented. Atlanta
must endure the full measure of
blame.
And against Atlanta this further
accusation must be made. While
Russian cities are shaken with revo-
luton Atlanta enjoys the blessings of
a peaceful government, so free from
restraint that it has just as
much power and efficiency as its cit.z,
zens wish it to have.
The stories of the assaults by black
men on white women, which started
the mob on its course, are indees. ter 4
rible. They should stimulate the city
10 action. But that action should not
be riot. 1t should no be terrorism
md the murder of the innocent. 1t
'hould be determined effort to con
rol the disorderly element among the
'lacks by strong. efficient govern
nent
Either the crimes of the blacks are
lot sufficient to justify riotIng or
Use they are sufficient to Justify the
earch for a remedy through the
gency of organized government, not
utsile of it.-Record-Herald.

When we think of the South with

tied and free from the wrath of ma
ture. Here is something for those
who complain about a rainy day to
