Time and the Railroad Bill

Mr.. Tillman understands. and the country
should, that the railroad rate bill Is not
alone involved in the delay In the Senate
about reaching vote on that measure.
While there's delay there's hope. not only
for changing the rate proposition. but for
forcing the Senate's terms on other meas
ures- II Is an interesting parliamentary
maneuver. conceived by experts, and in
their hands for execution. No ono OF them
doubts that q railroad rate bill Will pass
The object is to keep it in front as long as
possible In order to influence action on
general program
The Senate as body can afford the time.
II is not interested as the House is in the
coming elections. The seats of only a third
of Its members are In the scale adjusted
for November. Besides. some of these sem
ators have their eanvasses for reelection
already well In hand. They have been at
work for long time By one means or an
other putting their fences in order. The
Senate therefore can see the summer APP

No Tariff INQUIRY Necessary.

The resolution of Mr. Davidson of Wis
consin providing that the ways and means
committee or a subcommittee thereof, sit
during the coming recess OF the House and
inquire into the demands for a revision of
the tariff. and report to the next session, is
open to two objections
III the first place, as soon as the House
adjourns the members will enter at once
upon campaigns for denomination or for re-
election. There will be no time for such
work as the resolution proposes. Such an
inquiry would bring both the revlsionists
and the standpatters into the field, and the
committee would find the six months before
December barely sufficient for Its task, even
IL the members were willing to let their
personal fortunes in the campaign slide.
Such a request however, would be unrea-
sonable. Those who are not hard pressed
themselves will want to go to the aid OF
party friends who are. No member of the
present House who desires to be a member
also OF the next, and that his party shall
control that body. will be gentleman of
leisure this coming summer and fall
In the second place. so far as the revision
lists are concerned no inquiry Is necessary.
They are prepared to make their case good
now. They have made their own inquiry
The trouble is that the standpatters. who
control the ways and meanr committee re-
fuse TO hear them. Without inquiry, and
entirely because OF the power they possess,
they plant themselves upon the proposition
that because no panic exists or Is impending
the tarin does not need revision. and shall
not be revised. Some other time. they re-
ply. with an air of impatIence
That other time would not be FASTENED by

Presidential Independence.
washlngton CORRESPONDENCE rittsburg plspat

Washington Correspondents Pittsburg Dispatch.
The appointment of B. F. Barnes of New
Jersey to be postmaster of Washington is
an indication of how independent the Presi-
dent has become In the matter Of selecting
postmasters. 1t shows that he is exercis-
ing the constitutional right of naming men
for Office and permitting the congressman
to know about 1t after the selection has
been made. He cannot prevent the Senate
advising and consentlng to the appoint
ment but he can force the senator's to give
their advice and consent after he has moved
in the matter instead of before. as has been
the custom.
Poor old Washington may froth and fume
because Barnes is not citizen in the sense
OF the word that he is identified with any
Of its interests, but 1t will have to stand
for what 1t believes to be its inherent right
to have something to say about the men
who shall rule II.

Austrians and Hungarians.

y thorough compromising of the differ

language will indeed be a great boon to the

ties of racial temperament were not suffi-
Client to Offset their Emergencies The one
side inevitably came TO be the stronger. the
Side from which came the king-emperor.
The dominance Of the Austrians although
nonresident in the law. was nevertheless a
real and tangible factor in the equation.
The Hungarians have always felt that de-
spite the forms of autonomy within their
own borders. they were subjected to pres
sure from Vienna. They have resented all
tendencies toward suppression of their
language. They have refused resolutely to
sink their differences and blend with the
Auslrfans to form one great, strong COM
pact national entity. In consequence the
dual empire has been one of the weakest of
the European states.

DRAWING TRADE.

The trade territory of town is not
all dependent upon the distance to
neighboring trading points The trade
territory depends upon the enterprise
of the merchants and the residents of
the town. II a town does not reach out
after the trade, it will come only as
fast as it has to, and 1T will grow az it
is forced to. But if the merchants go
after business in the surrounding coun-
try. advertising in every possible way,
and making good every word Of their
advertising, trade will come from an
ever increasing radius, the town will
gain reputation for being awake. and
it will forge to the front. It is the men
in the town, and not altogether the
men living within certain number of
miles from it, that makes the town.
Blakely News.
All the merchants should advertise
and seek to draw trade to Marietta, not
to leave it to few, with view Of get
ting the overflow of what does come.
Cooperation in this line will dc the
work. Work for Marietta as Atlanta
merchants work for Atlanta, and our
town will grow and prosper.

Letter to w. j. Hudson, Marietta, Ga.
Dear Sir: If you could get the ex.
elusive sale of coal that would give
double heat and cost no more, you'd
jump at it, wouldn't you?
You'd control the trade for hundred
miles
Devoe is like that among paints; a
short ton is as good as a long one OF
any paint you can name; gallon is
worth more than two of many popu-
lar paint.
Suppose you have painted your house
about once in three years ever since it
was new you buy the same number OF
gallons of Devoe, have third of it left
and it wears six years. Count your
costs.
$1.75 gallon for paint; So 90 a gallon
for putting it on; you saved 5 gallons.
$26 25 on this job. But you save the
whole job Of three years hence: about
$75. Put 'em together: 800.
Can't reckon so accurately as that
but you see how it goes. Paint isn't
alike any more than coal. How much
more is coal worth than a slate?
Yours truly,
F. w. DEVOE & co.
