much more effectual although as hard to have controlled) that in any contro- versy no carrier should appear before the commission with any accounts, rec ords or memoranda, or with any more brains than possessed by the commits sioners who hear the case.
 In the land of the square deal" where myself have lived for many years, this would have resulted in what is known as 'lead-pipe cinch'' on the situation.
 It appears to me that the president is
 advised of great wrongs that have been
 perpetrated in the past by the carriers,
 and wishes to prevent the possibility of
 a recurrence of anything of the kind,
 and in this purpose we should all hold up his hands and give him our support,
 and no one is more Loyalty disposed to
 do his utmost in this direction than myself. In this, as in all his efforts to right wrong, he is sincere, frank and welded to no particular method so long
 as the result is accomplished.
 l But when I read a bill nominally pre- pared for such purpose, and find there | is little or nothing in it to do away with rebates and determinations that exist | ing laws may not accomplish success fully, if enforced, but is mainly directed to securing authority to interfere in the handling or management of the carriers in other and different matters that ap- pear to be of no public interest, and is being "hurrahed" through on the rebate and discrimination cry is it to be Won-
 dered that l am disposed to hesitate, halt and consider to what port we are drifting, and what may be the conse- quences?
 Not one man in fifty but believes the purpose of the Hepburn bill is to put a stop to rebates and discriminations; not one in fifty has either read the bill or comprehends what it does contemplate. | Every one is ready to applaud what is understood to be a stoppage of injqs- l tice, and accepts on faith the assurance | of partisans that the Hepburn bill ac- complishes this, when its real purpose may be to do something entirely differ ent and unnecessary, which, if consti- tutional and enforceable, may sometime | become a monstrous piece of injustice. It seems to me we shall be ashamed of l such nasty, ill-considered action when we realize the damage which may re- suit,
 1 Instances are constantly coming to l light in the affairs of 8 company of the magnitude of this which are more or i less the subject of criticism, and many
 times, I am sorry to say, justly so.
 It is the intention of the management
 that these cases shall be less and less
 in evidence as time goes on, and as fast
 as they come to light they are being
 adjusted equitably and the parties al fault so instructed that there is little Likelihood of similar cases recurring. i There. is no railroad in this land that has less excuse for violation of law, nol

no advantage whatsoever to the public,
 (unless 1t he to force compromise or purchase) for such temporary reduc- tions of rates as are the result of such a policy are more often a curse than a benefit, in that they are unstable, and a cause for discontent when all either do not or cannot participate.
 A policy like this is simplya 8 case of robbing one carrier to benefit another, and offers the widest possible chance for speculation in reducing the valLa of the securities of one carrier and en- hancing the value of those of another, with no possible advantage accruing to the public; and unprincipled men will be quick enough to see and take advan- tage of the same, and such, you know, are occasionally found in the service of the government-the railroads have no monopoly of them.
 Under section 20 power is given to prescribe the accounts, records or mem- oranda to be kept by the carriers. | This is right and proper. The carri- CTS should keep all accounts, records or ! ILlCIllOIdLlQd Pl Cpllt by thS SOlhlAtiAo- sion, and the commission should have the fullest power to use the same in any way in which the public interest may
 be promoted, but in this same section ! it is provided that any carrier who
 keeps any other books, accounts or I memoranda than prescribed by the i commission is guilty of misdemaeonr
 and subject to fine or imprisonment, or
 both, in the discretion of the court.
 Of what possible advantage is it to
 the public that a carrier should be pro- 1 hibited from keeping such accounts,
 records and memoranda of its business
 as may appeal to its officers as an ad-
 vantage in keeping a check upon and
 record of its operation, so long as all
 records are kept that the commission may desire?
 I Why should I be subject to fine or irn- ! prisonment, or both, if the, commission
 does not prescribe data and memoranda
 that need to keep check upon my
 business, and I supplement the records
 it does require by such additional rec ords as I may need for my own conven-
 fence and information?
 Such law as this would cover with shame the czar of Russia or the sultan
 of Turkey, and it wholly out of place
 under any enlightened system of popu' | lar government.
 .l The warrant, am told, for all this is
 that the commissioners, at times, have N been confounded by information sup I piled by the carriers in controversinG the misleading conclusions they have
 drawn from accounts kept in their oWr offices, and they do not propose to have a carrier appear before them with any
 data or information other than that il r their possession from which conclu sions may be drawn contrary to thei own; in other words, that no man shal plead in his own case any information , drawn from accounts, records or mem oranda other than those on file in tn } office of the commissioners, for fea } that their own misleading results ma, | in the future, as in the past, be prove . to their confusion.

TO THE VOTERS
Of the Eighth Judicial Cir
cult Of West Virginia,
COMPOSED OF THE COUNTIES OF
MONROE. MERCER AND
S;cDOWELL.

This is to make known to
you that Mr.. ID. e. French,
OF Bluefield, Mercer county,
has been nominated for the
office of Judge of the Eighth
Judicial Circuit of West Vir-
glnia by a committee Of the
democratic party, to whom
was delegated the authority
by the said party in meeting
assembled, to name a candi-
date for said office to be vo-
ted for at the election to be
held in said Judicial District
on the 9th day of November,
1906, for the election of Of
ficers, among others that of
a Judge Of the Circuit Court
for said district.
In presenting the name of
Mr.. French, your committee
will state that he only
agreed to accept the nomina-
ton at the earnest solicita-
ton OF many voters of both
political parties,-he deem
ing it as a non-political
Office.
There is no office within
the gift of the people of such
vital interest to them as that
of Circuit Judge. 1t is in re-
atty and trithfully a non
political office, and should be
so treated and held by the
people; for the Judge of a
Circuit Court is the arbiter
between all the people with
out regard to political or 9TH
er kindred questions. He,
as such Judge, is clothed
with the authority to pass
upon the dearest and most
sacred rights of a people,
who intrust to him their

lives, liberty, character, and
property. At all times the
safeguard Of the peoples
rights is in an upright and
honest Judiciary, their great
ct peril and danger to life,
liberty and property is in a
corrupt, subservient, cow
ardly and venal judiciary.
The judiciary is the bulwark
OF our civil liberty, and no
greater calamity could be-
fall a people than to have
either a corrupt, subservient
Judiciary, or an inefficient
judge.
Your committee presents
to the voters Of this Judicial
District a young man who is
absolutely clean in all re-
spects; of the highest char
acter as a Chrictian and gen.
tleman, and a lawyer of
good ability, worthy of the
support of every honest, in
telligent, upright, thought
full freeman in the Distrist,
"a man who at all times,
and under all circumstances,
will discharge faithfully,
impartially and without ia
voritism, his duties as Judge
to all men, Of all colors,
classes and tongues, without
fear, favor or affection.
Without disparagement,
or criticism Of anyone, if
such should even be just, we
most earnestly commend Mr..
French to the voters Of this
District, and most cordially
and earnestly invite all Of
the voters of said District,
without regard to past party
affiliations, or environments,
to rally to his support. We
have the man, but no money,
and place him before our
people with confidence that
he should win upon his mer-
it's, and if he does, you will
have a brave, upright, hon
est, incorruptible Judge.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Oct. 4. = At last
the expected accident has happened
at the south end of the Mt. Washing
ton tunnel, and Freda Kaiser. aged s,
lies at her home suffering from an
electric shock and concussfon of the
brain. At the upper end Of the tunnel
there is a high retaining wall and just
q few feet above It is an electric feed
wire which leads to the car barn.
Children have been accustomed to
playing on top OF the wall, 25 feet
high.
Freda was running along the wall
yesterday afternoon. She stumbled.
and to save herself, grasped the feed
wire. The shock knocked the girl
from the wall to the ground. She
was found by a man who knew her
and carried to her home, 2S4 Boggs
avenue. A physician was called, but
late last night the girl had not recov'
cred consciousness. Her right hand
is badly burned.
