100000. The industry is bounding for
ward. In 1905 there was an increase
of 22.5 per cent over 1904 in the num-
Der of vehicles and a gain of 66.2 in
value. The total business in 1905 ran
to 1880 vehicles and stood for valu-
alton of s31,S14,O 900. There is a steady
increase in the average price of cars.
No doubt as many cheap ones are
made-possibly more proportionately-
but high-priced racers. and also the
big trucks now becoming common for
business purposes, run to larger fig
ures and so bring up the average.
1t is interesting, in connection with
this, to take up government report
covering the manufacture of bicycles.
Even as late as 1900, when bicycle
manufacturing had already begun to
fall off heavily there was still $685.
$50 in the business and an annual out
put of $31,915,O 900. Today the capital
is only $5,S00.00O and the output is
at the rate of about $780, 600 a year.
The army of riders has disappeared.
The bicycle will always remain, but
it's day of great Importance is gone.
There would seem to be great OPP
portunity for development in the au-
tomobile trade. Theer is likely to be a
permanence about it that never at
tached to the bicycle business, the rise
of which was in large part, the result
of craze. The automobile is coming
into more general use for business
purposes every day.

The First Clue in Case,

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, March &c.
The first clue to the whereabouts of
Mrs. Ladoux, now in custody at Anti

husband, was secured by Detective
Gibson, who, with Under Sheriff Case
of Stockton made the rounds of the
tenderloin last night, where he ascer.

Saturday evening and registered as
Mrs. E. Williams at the Royal House,
126 Ellis street. and was assigned room
%. Previously she sent a telegram to
Joseph Healy, 1852 Florida street, who
at one time was engaged to marry her.
The telegram said "Meet me at the
Royal House; I will leave on the 2:55
train" and was sent from Stockton
Healy met her and was with her till
late Saturday night and he also met
her yesterday afternoon. At o'clock
she took Santa Fe boat, telling Healy
that she was going to Stockton. Mrs.
Ladoux told Healy that McVicar had
died. II am going back to Stockton to
ship the body to his brother in Color
ado" she said to Healy. At this time
the report of the murder had not been
published.
Joe Healy was arrested here this
afternoon in connection with the
charge of murder against Mrs. La
dOux.

THE AUTOMOBILE TRADE.

One of the most interesting features
in commerce and manufacture in our
country is the growth of the automo-
bile industry. So rapid has been the
development that gatherers of statis-
tics have scarcely kept pace with it. A
recent government bulletin shows that
while in 1900 there We're 159 places of
manufacture there are today in the
country 22S9. Presumably some of
the larger repair shops where care are
occasionally built. are included.
From another source it develops that
patents upon automobiles brought in
to their owners royalties of SS14.OOO

ness has been done, in domestic manu-
facture and the importation of for
eign-made machines. that totals SOL

If robbing one carrier to benefit an

of robbing one carrier to benefit an
other.
Mr.. Mellen has cited a case which
would seem to impose an actual hard
ship on his company if advantage were
taken of the possibilities in the case.
But so long as Mr. Mellen is conduct
ing a public enterprise, he will have
to recognize possibilities like this. His
railroad is a public carrier. If the
shipper wishes to employ it for GER
tain portions of the through route and
at the end Of that division chooses to
divert the freight to a rival boat line,
that's one of the conditions which Mr..
Mellen is bound to concede in cOnsid-
Grafton of being allowed to operate
practical monopoly on land and do
the land carrying part of the trans
portation.
It's the old story over again. The
railroad is not private but public
the public service and not primarily
for private profit. Private profit is an
incident, a very proper one, but the
railroad corporation is not created for
the purpose of producing private
profits. The state does not give up
such extraordinary powers as rail-
road corporations possess for the pur-
pose of enriching individuals. No
railroad was ever created by the state
for that purpose and probably never
will be. This matter of government
regulation is Earring a good many
me-honored notions about the rela-
ton of such great corporate interests
as our public carriers to the public,
and necessitating a readjustment of
ideas with respect to what they exist
for and what their rights are.

SIMPLIFIED SPELLING.

1t pleases a certain class of literary
people to profess a feeling of distress
OF spelling. They affect deep concern
about the purity cf the language and
the heat of temper which they mani
fest when it is proposed to eliminate
some of the unnecessary letters they
seem to think will be accepted as evil
dence of their superior scholarship.
The most poignant grief is generally
manifested by those who have the
least occasion to exhibit it, They pro-
fess a high degree of pleasure in the
form of a word because in that par
ticular form they think that it tells it's
history. AS a matter of fact there is
little or nothing in this assumption
Forms of spelling have changed from
one period to another as a matter of
convenience, and we shall probably
continue to improve upon many of our
present absurd and awkward forms
regardless of the sensitive feelings of
the professedly intellectual.
The character of the men who are
identified with the movement for SIM
plified spelling gives ample assurance
that no violence will be done to the
Ia hylt hnf no Io
will be along conservative lines
Among the eminent scholars who have
recently organized for this purpose are
such distinguished names as William
IT. Harris. United States commissioner
of education; President Butler of Col
umbia university; Justice Brewer of
the United States supreme court; l.
X. Funk, editor and publisher of the
Standard dictionary; Professor Will
liam James of Harvard; Professor
Lounsbury, of Yale; Professor Hempl
of the University of Michigan: Presi-
dent David Starr Jordan of Leland
Stanford university: Richard Watson
Glider. editor of the Century: Brander
Matthews and President Woodward of
the Carnegie institution of Washing
ton. These are some of the scholars
who are identified with this movement,
which is financed by Andrew Carnegie.

of the Union Dime Savings institution,
and Lyman P. Gage, former secretary

1t will still be the vogue for pre-
tending Percys' to speak with disre-
spect and slightingly of this move
ment, but with common sense to back
it up, and with moderation to protect
f. from absurditieS, it is certain to
make progress until the spelling of our
words in the English language has
been brought to a basis of common
sense, and English spelling is as ra-
tional as the French or the Italian.

A WOMAN'S WAY.

There has been more or less specula-
ton at various times as to what women
would do in politics-how much they
would be influenced by personal feel
ing. We have suggestion which may
or may not be valuable from the Incl
dent reported in Des Monies dis
patches affecting Governor Cummins.
Governor Cummins is a candidate for
| reelection to the office which he now
holds. The Iowa Women's Press club
was to have a banquet in Des Moines.
and it would have been the business of
ernor as one of the after dinner speak
ers
1t happens, however, that the hus-
band of the tOastmistress is a very
ardent anti Cummins man. and the
toastmistress refused to introduce the
governor because she does not approve
of his politics. She went so far as to
tender her resignation if Governor
Cummins was to be one of the speak
ers.
When the opposition of the toast
mistress became known publicly and
the discourtesy to the governor was
understood other speakers declined to
appear and it looked pretty serious for
the banquet. The trouble with the
toastmistress is that she has not
learned what men in public life have
long since grasped-that when it
comes to social functions such as the
club dinner, differences in politics are
laid aside, and men meet each other
without regard to the antagonisms
that may exist in other relations That,
however,, is not wOmans nature and
the feminine nature came out very
strongly, illustrating the fact that
women have something to learn yet
before they will be able to mix freely
in public affairs with the utmost sue
cess. They have to learn that strong
personal dislikes must often give place
to the proprieties of the occasion, and
that a mans or a woman's public sta
ton must be respected whether there
is any personal feeling involved or not

MR.. MELLEN'S OBJECTION.

The criticism of the Hepburn bill
by no other railroad man will excite
as much attention as that from Mr..
Mellen in his speech last week before
the Get Together" club in Hartford
Mr.. Mellen is a close friend of the
president and has been regarded as
favorable to proposed legislation reg
ulating railroads. Indeed, he has ex-
pressed the view that it is proper for
the government to have more or less
control over the public carriers, but
he does not think the Hepburn bill
will produce the desired result In
fact, he goes so far as to say that it
seems to him to have been made with
an Interior purpose, that it is imprac-
ticable and looks to him as if it were
intended to be a failure.
The one objection. however, which
Mr.. Mellen cites as particularly I'M
fair is found in section Is, under
which. he claims, the interstate COM
merce commission would have power
to require that his company, having
line partly by rail and partly by
water, should if another water line
be established in competition, deliver
freight to the rival line in competition
with their own. This would mean d.
verting their own business from their
own line, dividing their revenues, re-
ducing their values and impairing the
service. He says this is simply a case

SEEKS VALID RATE LAW.
President Inclined to Accept Three
Amendments to Hepburn Bill.

President Inclined to Accept Three
Amendments to Hepburn Bill.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 60
1t seems necessary again to call the
attention of the public to the fact that
President Roosevelt has not changed
front on the rate question, but is
standing just where he has stood from
the beginning of the fight, in favor of
the Hepburn bill substantially as it
has passed the house.
At the same time, his friends tell
him that that bill is defective and may
be declared unconstitutional for the
reason that it does not provide for
opinion of Senators Knox and Spooner,
two of the greatest lawyers in the SEN
ate, and of Secretaries Root and Taft,
two of the greatest lawyers that have
been in the cabinet for many years.
1t is likewise the opinion of Attorney
General Moody.
Opposing this view are Senators
Dolliver and Clapp, and a good many
other strong men in both houses of
congress.
The president himself, while inclin-
ed to stand with Dolliver and Clapp,
feels that it would be we'll to provide
for some form of court review, so as
to steer away from a possible I'M
favorable decision by the supreme
court. But he wants that review to
be Of a minimum character; in short,
he wants just enough review to carry
the law safely through the courts. This
is one amendment to the Hepburn bill.
have made.
The president prefers another
to the Hepburn bill as it
passed the house. That bill provides
that a rate named by the commission
shall go into effect within thirty DAYS
after it's PRONUNCIATION. The president
has been advised by a great majority
OF his friends-men who favor rate
no fixed time should
be specified in the bill, but that the
itself should be permitted
in it's discretion to fix the time of 60
ing into effect of each of it's orders.
Thirty days may be too short a time
IN some cases, and therefore the courts
might issue an injunction; it might be
TOO long time in other cases. The
president favors the amendment be-
cause he believes that it would help tc
applications for injunc-
tons.
The third amendment which the
president favors has been drafted by |
Senator Spooner. 1t provides that |
pending the determination of a case
after it's appeal to the courts, the rail-
road in question must pay over to the
court the difference between the old |
rate and the new one. this money to
