We have heard it said that the rail-
ways in Virginia are going to disregard
the Churchman bill, and issue no mile
age books under its provisions. We
have no objection to their testing the
constitutionality of the law, but we
do object to their refusal to obey 1t
during the period the test Is being
made. This emphasizes what We have
so often said, and that is that in some
of the railroads there are set of men
whose contempt for law is SO great that
one would almost believe if they were
in some walks of life they would be
yeggmeE. 1t is this spirit which pre-
walls in railroad circles to such an ex-
tent that it arouses public indigna-
ton, and it is little wonder that rail-
roads are kept constantly in public
eve, and subjected to SO much criticism
and as they term it hostility. Who
would not be hostile to such work as
Is being disclosed in the Pennsylvania?
The best thing the railroads In Viz
ginia can do is to issue the mileage
books, otherwise they will find them
selves in the face of flat two cent
rate. This is no time for monkey
business. The people are behind the
move set out in the Churchman bill.
and the wonder is that the Corporation
Commission has not moved in compli
ance with the wishes of the people and
their own constitutional powers.
Every person who pays over two cents
per mile after June 18th if there are no
mileage books will have the right to
sue for damages if elected from trains.
or to recover damages for over charge.

1t has been variously asserted that
Reed SmOot. the Senator from Utah.
gave that State to Roosevelt in the last
election, and for this reason the Re
publicans will not disturb him. He
has not been disturbed, and we call
attention to the fact that he will not
be this session, which seems to confirm
the bargain theory.

The rate bill recently passed by the
Senate contains al anti pass clause.
This clause has several notable excep.
tions, and among them is one which
excerpts from its provisions ex-Confed
crate soldiers. Such recognition on
the past of the u s. Senate will sur
prise many an old Confed.

Some controversy has arisen as to
what is the life per iod of the ordinary
passenger coach. As the question has
not been settled, we think some light
might be thrown on 1t by calling atten-
tiOn to the fact that the passenger
coaches now running on the Valley
Branch of the b. & o. between Harri.
sOnburg and Lexington, have been in
constant use for about IS years, with
