The Railroad Rate Bill.

The Hepburn rate bill amended and passed by
the senate provides
That the interstate commerce commission shall IN
vestgate charges of unjust and unreasonable rates OF
common carriers.
If determinations are found the commission IS en-
powered to fix a just and reasonable maximum rate.
Orders of the commission go into effect within thirty
days and continue in force for two years unless set
aside by the commission a court
The penalty for the dsobedienee of the orders OF the
commission is fine of IS, 900 daily.
United States circuit courts shall have jurisdiction
over suits to annul acts of the commission the grant
ing of interlocutory DEGREES without hearings and
making appeals direct to the supreme court
Oil pipe lines, express and sleeping car companies
are declared common carriers.
The commission has access to the accounts of the
companies affected
What the bill will contain when the committee Of
conference of the senate and house of representatives
gets through with it only time will tell 1t is already
limited that the oil pipe lines and the express compa
MES amendments are to be stricken out through the
Rockefeller influence and the fact that most of the in

have express company franks lends color to the report

Patronize Home People.

There are two considerations which should appeal
TO every business man. and to every aborer gentle
man of leisure in influencing him to patronze home
industries.
The first of these" says the Albany Herald, us
based upon the sound theory that the interests of his
neghbors should be considered ahead Of the interests
of those at distance.
"Our neighbors are our friends-f not our personal
or social friends certainly business friends-and
the man who will not show them preference in bestow
ing his patronage is afflicted with deplorable preju
dice in favor of pennies and against public spirit
THE other consideration relates solely to self-inter
est AS purely selfish proposition it pays to pat
rOnize those about us
Helping them contributes also to their prosperity,
and their prosperity advances ours If the merchant
is succeeding he is enabled to meet his obligations
promptly and to enlarge his business That puts more
money into circulation, gives more people in the com
munity employment, and stimulates trade.
The result is that all business enterprises feel the
beneficial effects of the improved conditions. A hun
dred dollars sent away from home stays away. A
hundred dollars spent at home stays at home, and
changes hands hundred times in perhaps many
DAYS. So whatever the motive patronizing home in
ustres is something to be desired and encouraged by
every possible means.

A Case Unparalleled.

Representative Towne's structures on President
Roosevelt following so closely upon the fierce arralgn-
oen+s bv Senators Bailey and IiIman anent the chlel
executives veracity naturally puts one to thinking.
The incident or rather, the succession OF Incidents
constitutes case unparalleled IN the political history
Of the United States 1t has happened before now that
president of this country of ours has been censured
even pbraided for action of his, and in scores
Of instances members of congress have expressed their
ionnrova on the floor Of the house and the senate;
hr+ when member Of the most august egisativebody
nm the face of the earth rises in his place and dehber-
ev nsinuates that the chief of the nation has stray
ed from the path of verify people wonder the accuS
tion is true and when time passes and the alleged pre-
arcator for some reason known only to himself neg
lects to dispute the unqualified assertion regarding
his veracty then suspicion takes the place OF wonder
Mr. Bailey did not say, in so many words, that Mr.
Roosevelt had told an untruth but he unquestonably
meant to asservae just that thing, and no other con-
structon can possibly be placed upon the senator's ut
terance Then came Mr. Tilman, the picturesque gem
tleman from South Carolina who contented himself
with producing certain documents which proved in
unimpeachable black and white that-tO say the least
of it-there had been very careless handling OF the
truth either at the white house or by the representa-
tive of the white house.
Now comes the third of the trio of stern accusers
in the person of Representative TOwne of New York.
who gives utterance to some very pronounced views
regarding the unreliable character" of the president
Mr. Towne quotes Roosevelt works and speeches
to show that the president has talked both ways the
tariff and says that in his opinion the chief executive
can be shown to have talked double almost any old
subject he has treated Of
Those are pretty warm propositions that the three
able and distinguished representatives have put up to
Mr. Roosevelt and he of the sOmbrero and prominent
teeth is as mum oyster.

Saturday afternoon while engaged
in a playful "scuffie" little Johnnie
Woods inflicted a very painful wound
on the right arm of his brothers Les

such dangerous weapons.

Mr.. Bryan's Popularity.

Occasionally there is still some one to be found who
doubts the popularity of Mr.. William j. Bryan, but
there is abundant proof to show that the Nebraskan,
already twice the democratic nominee and twice a
defeated candidate for the presidency is despite this

Already endorsements of Mr.. Bryan as the next
democratic standard bearer are beginning to appear,
and it will not be long until the handwriting on
the wall may be SEEN Ohio first climbed aboard the
band wagon few days ago when sixteen of her coun-
ties endorsed Mr. Bryan for the democratic nomina-
5ion although it is two years distant. very large
elber of Missouri counties have in conventions

certain quarters that Governor Joe Folk who has been
so conspicuously in the meght of publicity for the
past year or two would be the unanimous and enthu
siastic choice of the party in bis own state.

A Serious Problem.

In another column of THE News appears an ac-
count of certain deplorable educational cOndi-
tions which exist in the mountains of North Georgia.
and while our sympathies naturally aroused by the
relation of these facts it is we'll to remember that
have an educational problem of own in south Geor
gia The records of County School Commissioner
Wilkinson of Terrell county show that at the opening
of this years public school term there were 22O9 ne
gro children and only 200 white children enrolled in
this county.
This shows a fact that may be startling to some Of
u.s. There are more than third many negro school
children on the rolls than before The blacks are
clamoling for an education. They are determined to
have education, and theyare getting it, Certainly the
matter deserves some serious consideration, and the
sooner we accord it that amount of attention which it
deserves the better it will be for the generations which
are to come.

A Sea Level Canal.

Now that the senate committee has followed the rec
concentrations of the majority of the engineer experts
to build the Panama canal the level plan there
should be no more delay in pushing the work There
IS no doubt that in view Of the danger to locks and
dams from earthquakes the level type is the only
safe one 1t may cost little more and take little
longer to build and those who talked so much about
making the dirt fly may be dsgruntled but making
haste slowly in work Of this magnitude is the only
safe policy.
