The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1906-08-03

THE idea of Federal regulation of
business has been advanced much
farther than ever before: but the
people have gained nothing, while
the State governments have lost i'm
mensely. The Republic of Roosevelt
is an empire very different from the
Union, and the States are degener-
Grating into mere provinces. If the
present tendency keeps up States
Rights will one day be ancient history,
as will also be other of our cherished
doctrines and ideals. The power of
the Chief Executive these days, in die
tating terms to Congress, forestaling
and controlling legislation, usurping
Congressional prerogatives, equals that
of any limited monarchy in the world.
1t has long been question whether or
not the people of the United States
of America have more unrestricted lib
erty and equality than their neighbors
of Canada, which is a British Province.

OF COURSE 1T NDS
PAT"

The Philadelphia Rerord has this to
say regarding the determination of the
Republican party to stand lat" on
its record in the coming campaign:
"Anoiher choice phrase from the
language of the gaming table has been
added To the assortment of battle cries
and key notes and all that sort of
things possessed hy the Republican
party. Senator Hanna introduced the
stand pst' slogan. Speaker Cannon
now delivers TIE oracle that "a pair of
deuces will beat ace high in show
down"
The meaning il not clear; We have
not had the training necessary for the
Interpretation, but it 5, ems to mean
something like "a lie well stuck to is
better than the truth" because, in re-
ply to Il direct question as to the issu, ;
OF the Congressional campaign. the
Speaker said: 1--WE stand upon our
record. What else can the Republican
party do but stand upon its record?"
The important thing to know about
political party on the eve of an cleo
ton is what it is going to do; not what
its record is. But party can not get
rid If its record, and the Republican
party can make no Pledges for the
future. 1t is too seriously divided on
the tariff to do anything, and since
it pledged itself in 1896 to re-establish
reciprocity no one would believe it if
1t did maEe any pledge for the future.
The Republican party has got to
stand on lis record, hut we do not SUP
pose that it enjoys it. Its record of
Capitalization is dep!or,d by Cannon,
Griggs, Brewer, Hale and Tawney
among its shining lights. But it can't
get rid Of its burden, and it can't
reform. Its record of extravaganza
stars the whole country in the face.
is record of high tariff taxation is
splitting its ranks from top to bottom
in the Northeast aud the Northwest
Speaker Cannon sees tariff revision
coming and is only hopeful of staviug
it of for while. The party is too
heavily mortgaged to the fairfield
Trusts to respond to the growing de-
mand for tariff revision.
Oh, yes, the Republican party will
have to stand upon its record. 1t
cant stand still, but it will have to
stand there, because however much it
may jump around it cannot jump oil.
1t would like to get on to something
cooler but it can not"

Cummins Renominated Fo
Governor of Iowa,

Albert B. Cummins has been
nominated to succeed himself as
Governor of Iowa. Warren
Garst, of Coon Rapids, a State
Senator, and an Ohioan by birth.
a merchant by occupation, is his
running mate as candidate for
Lieutenant Governor.
The Governor was nominated
on the first ballot, receiving 93j
votes. George ID. Perkins was
given COB and S. w. Rathbun
104. The mum Der of votes in the
convention was 1,640, and the
number necessary for choice
S21.
1t was expected that a stronger
declaration would have been m ade
for "tariff revision" according to
the famous "Iowa Idea," but it
seems that Cummins was sin
duced" not to be too aggressive,
and thus hurt the party in the
west. The party declares for a
legal primary system and direct
vote for Senators. Roosevelt is
heartily endorsed, Protection
is favored and inequalities in
tariff schedules which inevita.
bly, arise from changing industrial
and commercial conditions should
be adjusted from time to time.r

Those who have followed the news
events Of recent days must have been
affected by the numerous cases of negro
depravity in this and nearby States.
The most recent crime happened in
Pennsylvania, northern State, where
a wife and three children were shot
down by savage brute, after having
ravished one OF the little ones,
aged four years. Happily he was soon
caught and it was as much as the
officers of the law could do to save
him from the maddened crowd that
cried out, "kill him." lynch him, :"
and would have put their threat into
execution. After all people are the
same at heart, if they do dress diff
ferently.

Pennsylvania Railroad to Gut
Fare and Give Cheap
Mileage.

A news leader in Wednesdays
Philadelphia Record says: One
of the most important announce
ments ever made by the Penn
sylvania Railroad was issued yes
tertlay from its Broad Street Sta.
ton, when Vice President John
B. Thayer made public the CON-
pany's intention to reduce Its
maximum one-way fares to two
and half cents a mile and to sell
1000 mile tickets at $50, or at 2
cents a mile. These are both
marked concessions to public
opinion and indicate that the
company is preparing to head off
any possible hostile legislation
that may be aimed at it i'll the COM
ing session of the State Legisla-
ture,
The Pennsylvania's change of
face on the mileage book ques-
ton is especially noticeable in
view of the very determined
stand this company took when
this matter was first agitated last
winter by the Merchants and
Travellers and the Travellers
Protective Associations of this
city. Passenger Traffic Manager
Wood and General Passenger
Agent Boyd at that time devel-
oped a positive mania for writing
etters intended to show that the
request of business organizations
throughout the State for a 1000
mile book at $40 instead of $50,
could not be granted. Mr.. Wood
even presented some very solemn
arguments To prove tat such a
concession would be fraught with
serious financial results to the
company.
OF really greater Importance
than this victory for the advo
Gates of cheaper transportation
is the announcement OF the com
pany's intention to reduce Its
maximum one way fare on all
passenger traffic east of Pitts
burg aud Erie to two and half
cents a mile. This means that
all companies that come into
competition with the PeunSyl-
vania, such as the Reading, the
Baltimore and Ohio, the Wander
bilt and he Wabash lines in the
western part of the State, the
Buffalo. Rochester and Pittsburg
and other roads must make the
same reduction if they wish to
hold their travel. AS many of
these companies charge three
cents or more a mile the saving
to the patrons of the railroads
throughout the State will be very
great. Experience has shown
that the small loss to- the com
pany by the reduction will be
much more than made up 10y the
increased traffic that will follow
the cheaper fare.
After all, however, the best
thing about the announcement
is the indication that the Penn
sylvania Railroad is gradually
abandoning the bureaucratic at
titude of assuming that it always
knows best what is for the ben
eft of the people Of the Safe,
and that it is giving heed to the
ever-increasing popular protest
against too much corporate con
troll. 1t is in line with the other
steps of the company, such as the
abolition at the pass abuse, taken
within the past year.

of the market. This story has been very backward in making its appearance. It should have been trotted out weeks ago. The delay shows lamentable lack of imagination. As matter of fact Wash ington is an insignificant factor in Wall street. There are some sizeable specu- lators in the national capital but the aggregate volume of business originating there Is small. Congressmen who trade on advance information of projected leg islation belong to the piker class and their dealings have neither weight nor influence. They usually trade in bucket shops. The big players in Washington are moved by the same causes that control the operations of the big players in New York, and they look to Wall Street for news and advice rather than closer home. There are times, of course, when they scalp the market to get in on a campaign on what they believe will be the effect of legislation, but that Is only incidental, as a rule. Occasionally the pikers in Washington and at the capi- taIs of important states make clever mar ket turns on their own political plays but they usually lose money. Time and again the grating gangs at Washing ton, Albany and Springfield, Ill, have been trimmed in Wall street. The Illi- nos aldermanic and legislative boodlers who for fifteen years have made a special ty of raiding Peoples Gas got left ten times where they won once.

WORLDS OLDEST INDUSTRY.
Salt Diving in Dead Sea Survival of
 Ancient Industry.

There are in the Holy Land but few industries and these of the most primitive kind" says W. G. Fitz-Gerald in his ar ticle. Diving for Salt in the Dead Sea-, in the Technical World Magazine. ''The awful desolation of the Dead Sea, how ever, which Hes nearly 1900 feet below the level of the Mediterranean, Is broken here and there by the salt-divers, whose work is probably as ancient as the human race itself. From remotest antiquity the salt of the Dead Sea has been collected and brought to the Jerusalem market, where it Is used for curing hides and for domestic purposes.
 Dead Sea water contains over % per cent of solid substances, of which per salt. It is chloride of magnesium which while the chloride of calcium makes it feel smooth and oily to the touch, so that after the very curious sensation of a bath in the Dead Sea, the san retains an oily sensation.
 ''The Dead Sea contains no living creat- ure; sea fish put into It's waters speedily die. Not a single boat navigates it's strange waters nor is there any sign of life save the isolated parties of salt div CTS, who scrape and slowly amass their precious glistening heaps of crystal near the mouth of the Jordan.
 When sufficient cargo is made ready a long string of eamels crosses the desert and the salt Is loaded up into panniers or ''shwerries," taken into Jerusalem, where 1t finds a ready market"

Standard VIII Increase Capital.

Standard Oil Is going to split up it's $1o00OO,0oo of share capital so that the certificates may get within reach of the poor man. For every one share of old stock six new shares will be issued. In other words the capitalization will be in creased from s100. 0O.000 to s6O0OO0.00O. The actual property of the corporation Is said to be worth about s5O0,00o 900 and annual earnings are arranged from $40000.00 to $5G,000O00. The splitting up of the shares will probably be followed by their wider distribution. At present they are closely held in large blocks, not more than 10 per cent being in public hands. as that phrase is understood. It is barely possible that incidental to the move an official statement may be made of the condition of the company and the where abouts of the assets. The management has steadily refused from the first to make any such statement but influential members of the Standard Oil group are openly in favor of a more liberal policy in this respect.

from below 50 to above 160 in less than year. The rise in Delaware Lacka- wana and Western was more than s20O a share. Lehigh Valley Jersey Central and all the other coal roads participated. It has been estimated that the rise in the market price of the stocks of the several anthracite coal roads since the strike set clement three years ago and traceable very largely to that settlement and it's results, amounts to fully $3O000o,0O0. Add that to the increase in the price of coal and we have net gain of approximately 000000 income and property values to offset the s26,0O0.000 that went to the miners. Under the circumstances 1t might appear to some that there is at least show of justice in the cry of the miners for a larger share in the rake-off This is a side which has not yet been presented with its full force for public review and digestion.
