EDITORS MUST

WHEN TRAVELLING IN OTHER
STATES THAN THEIR OWN.
RULING BY COMMISSION
Protest Filed by Massachusetts Press
Association, Calls Forth Spe-
cihc Statement.

Washington, Oct. 25.-Under the
ruling of the interstate commerce
commission transportation over rail
road lines may no Longer be given
to newspaper publishers or editors
il eNchun,e for advertising space.
A protest against this ruling has
just been received from the Massa.
chusetts association, which says that
the association unanimously voted to
center its protest against the report.
ed ruling in holding that payment
for railroad transportation at full
rates in advertising shall be treated
on any other basis than that of trans.
portation paid for in cash.
In response to the protest, Chair.
man Knapp, of the commission, says
in part:
"You are, Of course, aware that
all tariffs filed in compliance with the
regulating statute name the rates in
dollars and cents, and do not in any
ease provide that transportation can
be paid for with property 1t seems
plain to the commission that the law
above quoted, coupled with the fact
that stated permits payment for ser.
vices of interstate carriers only in
money
"A contrary rule would sanction
an unequal compensation by differ.
ent persons and involve ordinarily
some degree of discrimination IN
favor of those permitted to exchange
their commodities for transportation
they desire to secure. 1t is the aim
Of the law to prevent eevry sort o.
favoritism and secure absolute equal
ity of treatment in all eases" "

WAVES PROOF
FOR RHETORIC
BRYAN ELOQUENT BUT UNRE-
LIABLE, SAYS SHAW
Big REPUBLICAN RALLY
Secretary Of Treasury Deries Demo
cratic Leaders Claims for Minor
ity Party In Legislation.

Chicago, Oct. 2j.-Leslie NJ. Shaw,
secretary of treasury, was the chief
speaker at a Republican rally tonight
in the suburb of Oak Park. He de-
voted the greater part of his speech
t. denals of statements attributed
10 William j. Bryan, particularly
those in which claim is made that
much has been done by the Repubh.
ear party is in line with policies out
Tired previously by the Democrts.
Secretary Shaw claimed that the
Democratic party had no share in
my of the measures passed recently
fol the public good, except the rate
bill, and he accorded them only Il
small credit in that.
Shaw said in part:
"Colonel Bryan has been most elo-
1uent this season in claiming that
popularity of the present Congress
and administration is due to adoption
of Democratic policies. He said that
if the Democratic party could have
secured patents upon its recommend
atoms, the present administration
would lcng since have been compelled
to 90 into liquidation. As usual the
eloquent orator contents himself with
rhetoric and valves proof Among
many achievements of the last Con-
gless are the Pure Food bill; meat
inspection bill; the denatured alco-
'ol hill; rocrooni2ation of consular
service; quarantine against yellow
bili to safeguard naturalization of
Immigrants; more rigid steamboat
inspection; employers liability act,
md limitation Of immunity to wit
Ncsses in criminal eases. None of
fese are of Democratic origin and
zone was ever suggested in the Dem
cratic platform The only leg;Sla.
ion for which the Democratic party
an possibly claim approval even is
he rate bill Three times in its his
'orv the Democratic party has re-
erred to transportation and in sub
fatally the same language, 1t has
lever promised anything definite.
The Democratic party can usually
Nc relied upon to arrive in port in a
'ccade or so from the time of the
rloa1ing Of the Republican cargo,
nd it also seems to enjoy the macad-
mi2e' roads, but as a pathfinder it
Is o failure"
