Cross-Continent Motoring.

The latest thing in record-smashing Is to
go against the established time figures for
transcontinental motor runs. This Is a
comparatively new sport necessarily so in
view of the recent development of the auto
mobile to It's position as a long distance
carrier. The first trip across the continent
was made in 1903, when DIR. Jackson Of Ver-
mont made the run in sixty-four days The
same year Thomas Fitch made the same
trip In sixty-one days. Next came L. l..
Whitman. who first brought the record
down to seventy-two days and the follow
ing year. 1904, cut it to thirty-three days.
almost half the first record established.
Now Whitman Is racing toward New York
from San Francisco at a pace which prom
ises to cut this record by nineteen and one
half days, bringing the fastest time down
to thirteen and one-half. He was In To-
ledo yesterday and expected to reach SYRIA
cuse at noon today and New York early
tomorrow morning. having left San Fran
cisco on the evening of August 2. He
began to lower the record from the start
gaining days on every stage of the journey
In places he equaled express speed and did
some mountain climbing at a pace better
than that maintained by the railroads in
crossing the ranges.
Cross-continent racing. being largely de-
pendent upon the state of the roads for
success. ought to do a good deal for the
improvement of the highways of the United
States. There is wide room for improve
n.ent in this respect and many citizens
who dislike the idea of open road racing
will accept the danger philosophicaily
IL some good results. 1t is easy to imagine
that these long-distance record runs may
become fad with motor enthusiasts, espe-
cially in view of the possibilities of sensa-
tional performances. Amy sport that offers
the chance of establishing sensational
record is likely to attract many deyotees
whatever may be the discomforts and the
risks. With improved highways there is
probably little reason why the highly per-
fected motor cars OF this period. and espe-
cialy those of greater power that are prom
ised for the future. should not closely ap-
proximate railroad time throughout the
distance.

The peerless leader. however. likes to lead,
and simply to describe warm corner is to

Wetmores advice. we are to have Mr..
Bryan with us for the two closing months
of present strenuous campaign. and
then he will resume his travels.
In Australia and New Zealand Mr. Bryan
will find some public policies certain to in

Mr.. Bryan will find men of the English

new wrinkles in government and boasting
of the results In their communication with
the outside world. That he Is going there
TO study those policies at first hand we may
not doubt, and that II he is impressed with
them he will seek to introduce them In
some form here is altogether likely. To-
day he has his party so well in hand his
nomination for President in 1908 by accla-

LaFolIette, Senator and Entertainer.

AdE OllcCCe, SSudCOT anu EOCeTCa1ueI.
The Topeka. Kansas. State Journal diff
fers with The Star respecting the course Of
Senator LaFollette in taking the lecture
platform and retrying there the railroad
rate bill and the Senate's record on that
measure. For one thing. 1t fails to see the
point as to the admission fee to the lee
ture.
The point Is that when the senator be-
comes a public entertainer he yields to the
demands and conditions of that mission.
He goes into the show business. He Is
billed" as an attraction" The public Is
lured with the assurance that 1t will get
1.-THE worth Of its money" And so when
the senator appears he must redeem the
promises Of the wallpaper" He must give
his hearers "hot stuff" for he knows very
well that they have not come to listen to
dry legal retinements. or to a solemn dis
QUESTION about general policies of govern
ment. Hence the biting personalities which
season his discourse, and which constitute
his drawing power.
But. says the State Journal, he reads
from the record. Only to the extent Of
the roll calls. which are not In dispute.
No senator Is denying his votes. But SEN
ator LaFollette, in the absence Of the
men who have cast those votes puts an
Interpretation on them In the highest de-
gree damaging to the authors Those sena-
tors are accredited with motives and mean
ings which were they present with oppor-
tunity to reply they would repudiate in
stantly and in toto.
Some Of the Wisconsin senator's admirers
are inclined to think that he Is revenging
himself on the Senate for its inattention
to him while the railroad rate bill debate
was in progress. This probably does him
an injustice. AS a matter Of fact he was
not singled out for discourtesy at all. The
debate was long and grew to be tiresome
to everybody. Only a few senators ad-
dressed a full chamber. Mr.. Knox, Mr.
Spooner. Mr.. Bailey. and Mr.. Foraker-aii
lawyers Of the first grade-had close at
tention. Mr.. LaFollette came into the
debate late. and. besides. lacked as a sena-
tor and as lawyer the prestige OF those
mentioned. He had more attention than
the average new senator commands and
his were only few of the amendments
proposed to the rate bill that were re-
jected.
The Star was in favor of the rate bill,
and would have been glad to see it made
sitter than 1t was. 1t will support any
amendments that experience may show
necessary to give the public full relief from
railroad domination and oppression. But 1t
very much doubts if anything is gained for
the cause by the course of Mr.. LaFo1lette,
and 1t is very certain that he does not
thereby increase his influence as senator

Hearinu on Livestock Rate.

The livestock shipping business OF
the Pacific northwest will soon have
chance to bring to light some of the
abuses to which it is subjected by the
railroad companies. The interstate
commerce commission will have hear
ing on the question of rates as they
affect the shipment of livestock from
middle west points to Seattle and 9th
er points in this state. The North
ern Pacific railway and the Burlington
have been asked to state their side
of the case, being given thirty days
in which to prepare their answers to
the allegations made against them by
the Business Mems Protective associa-
ton, Frye & Bruhn, Inc, and other
firms of Seattle. The compliments in
the case tell the interstate commerce
commission that not only do the rail
roads charge too high rates for the
shipment of live stock from the east,
but they also do not provide sufficient
transportation facilities to take care
of the business.
In support of their allegations the
compliments state that in 1897 the
Northern Pacific and Burlington rail-
roads established reasonable rates and
gave satisfactory service on livestock
shipments from Iowa, Minnesota, Ne
braska and North and South Dakota,
and that these conditions continued
until 1903. The rate during those years
was $170 for a double deck car of live
stock, the double decks of course being
used for sheep and hogs. In 1908, it is
said, the rate was raised to $240 car
and the railroad companies refused
to furnish anything but single deck
cars, thus making the cost for the
shipment of carload of sheep nearly
three times as high as previously.
These matters will be probed by the
interstate commerce commission, and
it is probable the hearings will be held
in Seattle.
