Greatness of Out-of.Door peoples.

The great peoples are out-of-doors
peoples. Ancient Rome lived out OF
doors, and Gallia and Omnis. Great
Britain was greater when she had
rushes on the floor and no glass at
the 'windows-greater in art and lit
erature and war. She is great today
only in her outdoor colonies.
As for ourselves, We were greatest
when our roofs leaked and We did
not care; when we wore linsey WOW
en- under tree and ate hominy hull
ed upon stump That. after all. was
our character molding hundred-year.
Nature sells you cheap the high-dom-
ed thinker or the anaemic, blink-ey-
ed slave, but she puts high price up
on the red-topped savage, hirsute,
freckled, with voice that does not
cackle. You may teach such savage
to think sufficiently, but you cannot
teach "a misfit man to be freckled or
hlrsute. What If Lewis and Clark
had been indoor men? What IL Wash
ingtop. or Lincoln. or Roosevelt had
been ian indoor man? What II our
industrial captains were recruited
from the indoor men? What IL old
Virginia had been an indoor land, or
old Kentucky. or the old Plains?
What II our birth as a nation had
not been in the wind. under the trees,
sanctioned by the stars? What II
America had not spent her youth in
the out-of-doors? Why. then, she
would not have been America; that

The Telephone Compromise.

thought II wise policy to compro-

CATION In which the city has become
involved. Solicitor Campbell gave
several excellent reasons why the city

"rhe telephone question is one
attracting attention throughout the
state" he stated, "and from indica-
tions ! believe the state legislature
will within few years pass such
laws necessary to properly control
the telephone systems in the state.

what the city has been striving for"

STATE COMMISSION Gan
REGULATE CAR SHORTAGE

Olympia, May 28.-In an opinion
just rendered, Attorney General ]. d.
Atkinson holds that the term ''recip-
rocal demurrage, as found in the
railroad commission law of 1905, gives
the commission authority to compel
the railroad companies to furnish cars
to shippers and to enforce penalty for
failure to do so within q reasonable
time.
The decision is regarded as Of the
utmost Importance, both by the men,
bers Of the railroad commission and
by railroadt racfh officials. The COM
mission is expected to promulgate re-
ciprocal demurrage rules in the near
fguture, in accordance with the attor-
ney generals decision, and the vexed
car shortage question will then be
transferred from the railroad Office to
the railroad commission itself.
The states of Virginia and Georgia
enforce reciprocal demurrage rules Of
this kind through their railroad COM
missions, and car shortage troubles
are said to have been reduced to q
minimum in those states.

CONFERENCE At WHITE H0Usl
REGARDING AMENDMENT.
Packers and their Friends Bend
ing Every Effort to Defeat It.
President Will Do a Little Pub
licity In Case Domestic lnspec-
ton Is Not Authorized.

washington, May S9.-An import
ant conference was held yesterday at
the White House regarding the amend
ment of Senator Beverage, of Indiana,
to the agricultural appropriation bill.
The president discussed Che question
with Senator Carter, Of Montana, and
Prof. Charles p. Neill, commissioners
Of labor, who investigated certain
packing houses, and later talked over
the matter with Senator Beveridge.
At the conclusion Of the conference
Senator Carter dictated the following
statement bearing upon the presidents
attitude:
''The meat inspection amendment
placed on the agricultural bill has met
with the opposition Of the packers and
their friends, who seem to be bending
every effort to defeat it. The presi-
dent says that if the amendment is en-.
acted into law he will be content to
merely remedy the evils complained OF
through the law.
eff, however, the amendment is de.
feated he will feel constrained in the
discharge of his official duty to the
public to send to congress the reports
in his possession relating to the abuses
existing in the packing houses.
HE feels that it is better to refrain
from making the reports public, not
through airy regard for the beef pack
ers particularly, but because an off,
cial statement Of the facts would in
jure the stock raisers of the country,
thus making them innocent victims
of line of abuses for which they were
not primarily in any sense responsible.
1.-THE only answer that can be made
to the consumers Of our meats at home
and abroad will be the enactment of p
law through which an efficient and
sufficient inspection shall be made"
Senator Carter said that the packers
have asked for time in which to con-
slider the amendment.
Zone of the principal questions
which they are considering, +" he said,
''is whether they or the government
shall pay for the inspection service.
It seems q foregone conclusion that
they will decide that Uncle Sam shall
pay for the work.
Senator Beveridge points out that
the expense will not exceed five cents
on q carcass of beef and three cents
on carcass of hog. While the ag-
gregate expense will be probably ST.
SOC, 900 year, it will be so widely dis
tributed that it will not fall as q bur-
den on the packers.
