THINGS LIVELY
IN WASHINGTON
President Roosevelt and His
Cabinet Are Back From
Their Vacation.
OUTLOOK A BUSY ONE
ROOTS VISIT TO THE SOUTH
AMERICAN COUNTRIES HAS
CHIEF INTEREST.
Publishers Press1

Washington, Oct. 6-Once again
are the wheels of government turning
on the central shaft and the capital
tongues. President Roosevelt has re-
turned from his vacation and with
him have come six of the nine mem
bers of his cabinet, to say nothing
of many lesser lights While each one
has something as to the how and why
of things to spring on the public, the
results of Secretary Roots visit to
the South American countries are per
haps the most important, in their
bearing on the nations continued
prosperity. His three months sojourn
in the southern half of our hemis-
phere has directed national attention
to the matter of our relations with
these countries. AS a result there
have been many converts of late to
the cause of the big waterways or.
ganization-the National Rivers and
Harbors Congress. The supporters of
this body months ago began crusade
for the enlightenment of the people
as to the imperative necessity of a
concerted national movement for the
general rehabilitation of the countrys
waterways and harbors if the United
States is to benefit in any proportion
ate degree in the boom of export bus
mess to South America which is sure
to follow the completion of the Pan
anna Canal, and which must other
wise inevitably be monopolized by
our European competitors, with the
use of this self-same American-built
canal. Apropos of this Department
a summary of the effect of the visit
of Secretary Root to Brazil, and in
the course of his dispatch, after re-
porting the establishment of a new
course of his dispatch, after reporting
the establishment of a new and much
needed monthly steamer service be-
tween Rio and New York in compe
tition with the former sole British
owned service, remarks.
1T is hoped that we are entering
upon an era more favorable to mer
chants who may desire to reach out
for trade with Brazil. The crying need
of our relations with Brazil is better
steamship communications. Given a
few facilities, our trade with Brazil
must inevitably go ahead at once
with leaps and bounds"
This is equally true of other Latin
American republics. Statistics show
that Germany is the most to be feared
as that country has already consid
cradle share of South Americas
trade, and France and England are
not far behind. Germany and France
are formidable competitors in that
each of these countries has for years
a national system of wa
terways, lowering the cost of ship
ment to the cost-always the most
important item-to the minimum,
and the United States and united ac-
ton looking to adequate financial pro-
vision by Congress will suffice. Many
far-seeing business men and organiza-
lions have been quick to realize this,
and they have consequently identi-
fed themselves with the waterways
with the result that it has
assumed gigantic proportions and
gives every promise of demanding
and receiving more Congressional at
tention at the next ensuing sessions
than any other vox populi movement
of recent years.

COMPANY HELD LIABLE

for Transmission Causes the Diff
Guilty and Appellate Court Decides
Against the Company.

Indianapolis, Oct. "a Judgment
holding the Western Union Telegraph
Company liable to the statutory pen
atty for delaying two hours before
sending a message which was hand
ed to its agent at the Union Station
in Indianapolis was affirmed by the
Appellate Court today. Charles F. Nc
Clelland was in charge of a funeral
party on the way from Asheyille, n.
c., to Danville. when a washout made
it ne cessary for the midnight train
on the Big Four to run over the Van
dalia railroad. He sent message for
carriages to meet the party at Clay
ton, and by reason of the delay it was
3 o'clock on a stormy wintry morning
before the carriages arrived. The
court says that the message showed
on its face that it was urgent, and
there was no excuse for not getting
it to the Office uptown, from which it
could be sent to Danville.
The plaintiff testified that when he
handed his message through the win
dow, just as the train was about to
start, the operator put it aside. leaned

publishers Pressl

Washington, Oct. 6.-The discus
sion of the issue of government own
ership of railroads, raised by Mr..
Bryan on his return from Europe, con-
tinues with undated interest in the
national capital, although some per-
sire on the part of the great Nebras
kan himself to get away from it.
In discussing the subject at one of
the clubs here a few nights ago,
prominent government official adj
vanced the novel argument that the
history of attempts at municipal and
government ownership themselves
proved that in the contest between
collectivism as represented by the
public ownership and operation. the
latter was bound to be victorious. IF
you look over the list of places in
which public ownership has been fair
ly successful, said this authority,
you will find that they are all small
communities in which each individual
is proportionately more important
than he is in larger cities. If you look
over the list of places in which it has
failed, you will find that it comprises
all the large communities that have
tried it. Many small towns of few
hundred inhabitants light their
streets and houses with fair success,
if not with economy, but we have yet
to see an example of big American
city conducting a municipal lighting
plant successfully. In other words, the
further we get away from the indi-
vidual the less the possibility of sue
cess in conducting purely business un-
dertakings.
Mr.. Bryan would have us attempt
a tremendous business undertaking in
volving some $4,000, 100000 of prop
erty under the management of an
of 100000 people, and
in the light of all experience the en-
terprise would seem to be foredoomed
to failure"

COMING HOME TO VOTE
RAILROAD RATES HIGHER
Concessions Will Not be so Favora.
BILE to the Federal office Holders in
WASHINGTON this Year as in Cam
paigns in the Past.
rPublishers' Press1


Washington, October 1.-THE ques
ton of reduced railroad fare to their
homes for the purpose of voting at
the coming November elections is con
corning deeply the thousands of Gov
eminent employees in Washington
from every State of the Union, who
have heretofore been accustomed to
going to their former homes to regis
ter and to vote. The organizatiIrs of
the various States maintained in the
national capital have been negotiating
with the railroads, but except in the
territory of the Trunk Line Traffic
Association it has not yet been de-
termined what rate can be obtained
Last year rate of one fare plus 81
was made. but it will not be so low
this year.
The trunk lines have made a rate
of one and one-third fare plus %
cents. which covers territory be-
tween Buffalo and Pittsburg on the
west and New York on the east. In
the southwestern territory the rates
have not yet been announced but are
expected to be made in a few days.
They will possibly be on about the
same basis as in trunk line territory
the policy of the roads being TO keep
their excursion rates of all sorts high
er than heretofore. Their reason is
that under the operations of the new
rate law and because of the move
ment for 2-cent fares, there is a gen
eral tendency TO reduction of passen-
ger fares and therefore it is prefera-
bic to maintain rates pretty uniform.
