The Aberdeen Democrat. (Aberdeen, South Dakota) 1???-1909, 1906-01-05

The News is still trying to
brighten the farmers of the coun-
ty with the bugaboo of railway
rate regulation as advocated by
President Roosevelt meaning the
putting of freight rates on a mile
age basis. The farmers know
that according to the interstate
law and under the rulings Of the
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, which he simply seeks to
make Operative, the New Jersey
farmer has no legal ground for
complaint of discrimination UNI
less the charge made for the lon g
haul OF the South Dakota farmer
is less than that made to the Jer-
tsey producer for the short haul
under similar circumstances and
conditions. The fact of the mat
ter is that the railroads would vi
olate the interstate commerce
law IN coming to a m ileage basis.
And, further, if the presidents,
policy really could result in for
eng the roads to a mileage basis,
the railroad companies would fall
over themselves to come TO the
presidents support.

Modern Schools Efficient

People are inclined to decry
our present school system, claim
ing that pupils + not trained SO
thoroughly in the common
branches at the present day as
in the days of our fathers. But
a recent comparison OF the eX-
animation papers of pupils sixty
years ago and today in the
schools of Springfield, Mass,
shows greatly to the advantage
of the modern school. BY chance
the examination papers OF s.
high school pupils of 1916 were
discovered recently and the same
test questions were submitted to
245 ninth grade pupils in schools
today. The comparative results
were as follows:
1916 1905
Spelling, 40.6 5l.2
Arithmetic, 29.4 65.5
1t is safe to say that the exam
ination questions in arithmetic
submitted to applicants for third
grade certificates, which so few
of them could answer, was more
of a reflection on the good judg-
ment of the mar who prepared
the questions, than upon the ef-
lclency of the schools of the
county from which the applicants
came.

Grange Instalis Officers.

After q short business session, last
evening, the doors of Grange Hall were
thrown open TO the public and all we're
admitted to witness the installing of
officers of Skowhegan Grange, elected
for the ensuing year. W. b. Whittier
was the installing officer and Mr.
and Mrs G. Il. Gardner assisted In
the ceremony. A the close of the in
stallation there was an enjoyable must
cal program provided by the members
of the Grange choir and a humorous
selection by Miss Maude Chute, all of
which was very much appreciated. Rev
S F. Emerson read an original poem,
"My Ideas of Music,' which forcibly
expressed the authors preference as to
vocal and instrumental harmony and, as
was evidently intended, produced much
merriment.
The topic of the evenings discussion
was ""hy does the Grange favor the re-
moval of the tax on denaturizod alco-
hoI2' one of the subjects approved by
the National Grange, and the following
facts were brought ont with regard to
it.
Alcohol is a most excellent fuel and,
would, If attanable at reasonable
price, largely displace gasoline which is
30 extensively used for power develop.
ment Ia motors and engines The pre-
sent internal revenue tax on alcohol ia
81 OF per gallon which of course is pro-
hibltive so far as its use for fuel Ia con.
cerned. The Grange asks for the re-
moval of this tax on alcohol for mechan-
ical purposes, rendered unfit for use as
a beverage by denaturIzation. The
United States is the only commercial
nation now maintaining tax on dena-
turized alcohol. Germany uses 100
000 600 gallons for lndustri al purposes;
the United States 100000 gallons
only. Denaturized alcohol is sold in
Cuba for 10 cents per gallon. Volume
for volume it is about twice the value of
gasoline for fuel in power generating
engines, and it is, moreover, safer and
otherwise more satisfactory to use It's
increased consumption would make
demand toward which the farmer could
turn any fermentabe crop that was
otherwise without market and make
possible the raising of m any grains and
vegetables now regarded as Improbable,
as they would have constant sale for
the distillation of alcohol.
The discussion was opened by Alonzo
Smith and participated in by Rev. = f.
Emerson, Mrs Clara B. Leavitt aud
others.

Always Ailing.

Mrs. Clarence H. Mackay, at a meet
ing of the Roselyn School Board, says
the New York Tribune, disagreed with
a pessimistic opinion hat had been ex-
pressed.
Ito be so unreasonably and so res
olutely hopeless is mwise," she said.
1T reminds me of an old woman |

This old woman was always i'll, al
ways ailing- Her various diseases were
t her the most interesting topic in
the world, and she must have thought
them the most interesting to Others
also, for she always talked Of them
she talked of nothing else.

MIR. BARR AND THE SEAROAiD
The Experiment on Mr.. Narr's Past
and Not on That of Mr.. Williams.

The opinion recently expressed by
this newspaper concerning the retire
ment Of President James NJ. Barr Of
the Seaboard Air Line did not meet the
many good railroad men endorsed it.
The fight between MIR. Barr and Mr..
John Shelton Williams is of little pub
lie interest, but inasmuch as the Will
liams faction has been talking so
freely it is proper that the Barr end
Of the controversy should be published
The former president of the Seaboard
has maintained a digniied silence,
which is to his credit. Coal and Coke,
teresting chapter from which We shall
quote.
In the first place it must be remem-
bered that while Mr.. Barr resigned
from the presidency he is still a mem
Der of the board of directors. The
Baltimore paper says that the Sea
board was so anxious to secure his
services that he was paid a bonus OF
500, 0G0 in addition to his salary of
$50. 900 per annum for a period Of five
years. At the time he was made first
vice president and general manager
and he became president when Mr..
Williams was forced out because Of
financial reasons. The new head of
the system was given entire control
of the traffic and operation of said
road" and he had the sole right TO
engage and discharge employees in de-
partments under his charge, and to
make all contracts relating to the
operations of the road"
Paragraph three Of the contract
| signed by Mr.. Barr and Mr.. Williams
J says:
The term of this contract is 10
be five years, the said Seaboard Air
Line Railway agreeing to employ said
Barr as first vice president and gen.
eral manager for the full term of five
years from the date hereof april 2
1901 but is it understood and agreed
that If the said Barr desires to ter
inmate this contract sooner he is TO
have the legal right to do so. The
Seaboard Air Line Railway agrees to
/ give bond in the penalty of s120,0 900 for
the faithful performance OF this con-
tract with some solvent surety and
guarantee company as guarnntor.
1t would appear from this that Mr..
Williams had implicit confidence il
the new manager. that he was willing
to pay his wages, and that he gave Mr..
Barr the best Of the contract Coal
and Coke does not understand how Mr..
Williams a contend at this ate day
that Mr.. Barr was an experiment.
The contract does not indicate IL, and
indeed it would seem that it was Mr..
Barr who was experimenting and not
the Seaboard. While sdr. Barr" says
Coal and Coke, had a five year con-
tract with the company, carrying a
salary of 1000 per annum for that
! length of time, and Mr.. Williams and

How He Knew.

Not long ago a man was about to
purchase a barrel of apples at the es-
Enlistment of a produce dealer, says
Harper's Weekly. They appeared 70
be especially fine ones, but an OLD
farmer standing neal whispered to him
to look in the middle of the barrel.
This the would be purchaser did, 70
find that with the exception of a lay
er at each end, the apples were small
and inferior.
I'm much Obliged" he said, turn
ing to the old farmer.
I've got some nice one On my
| jest brought in" the old fell
low ventured difidently.
~ take a barrel from you, then,'
the mar said, paying him the price and
giving his address for their delivery.
Say" a %bystander asked as the
purchaser walked away, " how did you
know that those apples in the center OF
the barrel were no good"'
A twinkle came into the old ooger's
eye
"oh, that was one of my bar'les," he
said.

his banking associates paid Mr.. Barr
a bonus of 500, 900 TO come TO h road
as an experiment it would have been
economical to have forfeited this
$3.50, 900 by displacing Mr.. Barr, If his
management had ben so costly TO the
road" <
There is something in that to be
Isure. But Mr.. Barr is out, Another
man has been elected president and IL
is to be hoped hat the Seaboard,
which means so much to the South,
will prosper and expand. The harm
that was lone was caused by the fac
'tional fight, an even If Mr.. Barr did
not turn out to be a. great as Mr..
Williams had expected, the contract
lprQyes much, and II he was as bad
as he was pictured it would have been
far cheaper TO have removed him long
ago.-Raleigh Times.

ROCK EFELLER's OIL PROFITS
Estimated at s113, 800, 900 Since Janu-
airy 1. 1898.

IL, as has been reported, John d.
IRockefeller owns 80 per cent OF the
capital Of the Standard Oil Company
he has received in dividends since
January /. 1898, approximately s113,-
500, goo.
Statistics bearing upon the stupcn-
,dous dividend disbursements of the
great oil trust were made public in
Wall street today, apropos Of the
STANDARD Oil Dividends OF 50 a share,
declared yesterday for the past quar-
ter. These figures showed hat since
January ], 1898. the Standard Oil
Company has disbursed 10 its stock
holders s341, 043, 900 in dividends. or
nearly three and one-hait times its au-
Ithorized capitalization OF 500, 000, 900.
The company pays more in aivi-
idends L its stockholders than any
corporation in existence. The United
States Steel Corporation. when IL was
declaring dividends on its common
stock, distributed more than the
Standard Oil Company, but no divi-
dends on Steel common have been paid
for two or three years. The dividenc
and interest payments combined Of
the United States Steel Corporation
are, however. considerably in excess
of the dividend disbursements Of the
Standard Oil.
Thus far this year the latter has de-
clared about % per cent, or about $24,-
t00, 900, in dividends to it's stockholders
or the same amount as was disbursed
in the corresponding period last year.
The total dividends last year were
nearly $40, 900 600.
