WHEAT T0 G0 HIGHER

1t is claimed that the rail-
roads have hauled $4,000 fewer
cars and 100000 fewer BUSH
els of wheat to the Minnea po-
lis market this year than last
and those interested, intimate
that a conspiracy has been
formed to hold the grain back
until navigation closes so as to
profit by "all rail" transporta-
ton. The car shortage is
working hardship to many
who are forced To- sell grain in
order to meet Current expenses.
The claim is made, however,
that the failure of the roads to
haul out the grain faster is a
blessing in disguise: that the
grain manipulators have had
their plans greatly disarranged
and, that there will soon be a
great scramble of the shorts for
wheat which will force the mar
ket up to where it belongs-

RAILROADS FASTENING
Government Ownership

If the railroads continue to
show the stubbornness that
has characterized them this
fall in the matter of furnishing
! ample facilities for the accom-.
mediation of public business,
they themselves will furnish
the strongest incentive toward
the government ownership Of
railroads-or of all trunk lines
at least. The business of this
country has grown too vast to
be trifed with by a few men
who are governed largely by
selfishness or by pique.
Throughout the entire North
wes this fall the elevators and
warehouses are filled to over
flowing with grain and produce
waiting III vain for shipment.
Meanwhile buslness is para
lyzed, collections hampered
and stagnation prevalent for
the lack of money which lies

THEsENATEANDMR. MOODY,

The Chicago Inter Ocean
which claims to be "The only
Republican newspaper in Chi
cago," has the following to say
editorially, in regard to the de-
lay of the senate in confir ming
the appointment of Attorney
General Moody as one Of the
judges of the supreme court
and openly admits that the
public generally consider re-
batting by the Santa Fe under
Ex-Secratary Paul Morton is
as criminal as if done by any
other road and that the action
of Atty. General Moody in that
matter shows him to be if not
equally guilty at least unit for
the high position of one of the
justices of the supreme court.
"The selection of Attorney
General Moody for the supreme
court bench by the president is
disapproved in the senate,
whose dissatisfaction with the
presidents course was shown
by it's adjournment Thursday
without acting on the new ap.
pointments to the cabinet.
Friction between the execu.
tive and congress is always de.
plorable. Courtesy and es-
tablished custom require that
the presidents selections for
the cabinet shall be promptly
confirmed. Other presidential
nominations stand upon q diff
ferent footing. Both law and
custom require that they shall
be satisfactory to the senate al
we'll as to the president.
The depth and breadth of the
public disapproval of the re-
ported intention of the presi-
dent with respect to Mr.. Mood ,
are strikingly shown by the
unprecedented action of the
senate in adjourning without
confirming appointments to the
cabinet.
No one doubts the sincerity
of Mr.. Roosevelt's personal be.
lief that Paul Morton was
guilty of no crime, and that his
attorney General did exactly
right in absolving Paul Morton.
However, that is a belief in
which Mr.. Roosevelt stands in
, opposition to the judgment Of
the whole country. To the
country Paul Morton stands q
self-confessed lawbreaker, and
w. III. Moody a judicial Office,
who respected persons in judg.
nent."

That railroad capitalization
is largely built upon water in
the United States, has been de-
monstrated time and again.
This watered stock may be ILL
ustrated in several ways. For
instance, suppose the grocer in
q local town has a ten thousand
dollar stock of goods, including
his building and equipment
ana ms business IL very pros
porous on account of lack of
competition, and he is making
twenty to twenty-five per cent
over and above expenses each
year on his Investment. This
big profit invites too much in
quiry and temptation on the
part of persons disposed to be
inquisitive. The grocer organ
izes a Corporation" and so
manipulates matters that he
sells another fifteen thousand
dollars worth of stock, the
money which he succeeds in
getting, or most of it, as "pro.
4noter," and he still retains his
ten thousand dollars worth Of
stock and perhaps gets some of
the new atock. If the original
stock was making an average
annual income Of twenty per
cent, the whole new stock of
twenty-five thousand dollars,
lnstead of the original ten
thousand dollars, would be
making 8 per cent, the promo

The lame excuse put up 10
shortness of cars. Even If
this were true, it would be no
excuse at all, for it is the busi-
ness OF thyse who have UNDER
taken to furnish transportation
facilities to provide the me ana
for doing 80. That is what the
government and the people
have subsidized and paid them
for. If they cannot furnish
the means for doing what they
have undertaken TO do and
what must be done, let them
get out and make room for
those who can.
The excuse, however, is not
true one. Jim Hill himself has
so admitted. He lays the
trouble to insufficient motive
power-an equally false pre-
text. The hanging up of farm
prooucte at country points hae
been due to a scheme to delay
shipments until lake and river
navigation should cease, thus
giving to railroads a complete
monopoly of transportation.
And the public has no redress
under the existing system be-
cause the railroads select the
officials that comprise the gov

ling of the traffic of the people,
at a reasonable cost. In good
faith the cost of the traffic to
the public, in charges, should
be based upon actual invest
ment- not upon water-and
water frequently many times
more than the actual invest
ment. If the watering of stock
is permitted, it may be indef-
nitely multiplied, and if freight
and passenger charges may be
based rightfully on such water
ed stock, then the process may
be carried on 80 as to absorb
every dollar of earnings of the
people.
But the watering of stock is
not confined to railroad COM
panies, it is and has been COM
mon in all other matters, such
as the great >oil trust, steel
trust, and other corporations of
like character. We are at a
critical period in the history of
the country, which needs not
be alar ming, but which calls
for sound statesnanship, and
which will also require that the
strong and certain power of
government, government by
nation. state, county and muni-
cipality, be exerted to control
and regulate corporate wealth
and property of every class,
keeping it at all times in SUBJ
lection to the best interests of
the people, while permitting it
at the same time to yield a fair
return to the investors.
The stock watering is, in eff
feet, forgery on an extensive
scale. This is the plain and
unavoidable result to the pay

organized by the people them

tue in it to correct a plain and

mysterious a manner that the authori-

The bullet which caused Mr.. Spier's

authorities desisted from. an attempt
to find it because Mrs. Spier objected
to the mutiliation of her husbands

to whether the bullet came from Mr..

today that District Attorney John ].

fuse to allow the funeral to proceed
until complete autopsy had been
made. Mr.. kenney said the bullet that
killed Spier should be found in order
to determine whether or not he was
killed by his own revolver.
Mrs. Spier, widow of the dead man,
said: "She could not see what good

FRICTION BETWEEN
TURKEY AND HER !
RIVALS
Trouble Over the Detention Of
a German Ship is Settled
Amicably.
A..ociated Press Cable to The Evening

A.sociated Press Cable to The Evening
Times.
Constantinople, May s.-The arbi-
trary detention of the German ship
Odysseus by the Turkish authorities
recently threatened friction between
Turkey and another European power,
bu the energetic action of the German
ambassador, Baron Won Bieberstein,
quickly solved the difficulty.
The Odysseus was discharging. her
cargo at Chibuklu when she was
boarded by the authorities and remov-
ed to KAYAK. where she was anchored
beneath the batteries, the Turks false
ly claiming that the vessel had explo-
Slves on board.
The ambassador protested urgently
but unavailingly, whereupon he took
few sailors from a German guard
ship, boarded the Odysseus, unfurled
the diplomatic flag and took the ship
from under the guns of KAYAK to her
dock at Chibuklu, where watch was
kept over her while she completed the
discharge of her cargo On returning
to the embassy the ambassador found
the state chancellor awaiting him with
apologies and explanations.
