right. lie said there were many hands

good way. The sermon was one well adapt

have deeply impressed them.

Railway Rates Sustained.

The interstate commerce commission to-
day In a decision by Commissioner Glenn
ents. announced its determination in the
case OF j. w. Moran & Son of Lamar, Mo-,
against the Missouri Pacific Railway Com
pany and the st. Louis. Iron Mountain and
Southern Railway Company, in favor of the
complainants. The petition was based on
an alleged unreasonable charge on ship
ments of -four from Lamar. Mo. to Hope,
Ark. and from Little Rock to Hope. The
commission decided that the rate of - cents
per 100 pounds on shipments of flour from
Little Rock TO Hope was grossly unreason-
able; that the rate of 10 cents per 100 from
Memphis through Little Rock to Hope. and
afterward increased to 20 cents, was unreal
sonabie and unjust. and that reasonable
and Just rate would be II cents per 100
pounds. The compliments are awarded rep

THEY PROTEST.


 1t is plain that the positive state rnents and observations of the Presi- dent and Secretary Taft were not con vsncing to all the Republican news papers of the country. Referring to Roosevelts assertion that admirable progress is being made in the canal work, The New York Mail says;
 Admirable progress" however, is probably used by the President as a term related to the conditions. There fs no doubt, much very bad sanita- xfon on the Isthmus. Most of Colon is are practically cesspoois. Dissatisfac- ton is rife among the laborers and em- ployers. Perhaps all this dissatisfaction Is due to tropical Encouragement and homesickness. But 1t has to be reck- oned with, nevertheless. The best thing to remove it would be more thorough sanitation of Colon ana of the zone than has vet been effected, ana some means of providing rational di- versions for the laborers and employees.
 As to salaries, 1t Is best that they should be liberal, but fixed py law ra- ther than by Executive order. A reas- onable scale of compensation should pc adopted by Congress. United States official salaries will not keep compe- tent men on the Isthnlus, even if they tempt them to go there. Until this Is done; until the type of the canal is fix I'd upon, and until the chairman of the commission and the chief engineer set fIe down to serious work, the canal Is likely to continue to be a troublesome and more or less angry subject of dis cussion. Let us hope that this period will be cut down as much as possible by the action of Congress.
 No doubt much of the harsh and un- favorable criticism that has been made about the canal work was not well founded. Some of it was written or uttered by men who were not properly informed on the subject, and possibly some if it came from those whose only desire was to discredit or retard the work. Allowing for all this, however there has been enough of undoubteG truth made public to satisfy any one not winuliy blind that conditions or the Isthmus are not what the admins tration and it's friends would have tho country believe. Sanitary conditions are not what they ought to be and no what they have been represented to be Labor conditions are equally unsatis factory and equally misrepresented IT short, it is not a fact that admirable progress is being made. Even the en' gineers cannot agree on the style oi canal that will be best. and the best oi them can tell us but little about time or cost Making due allowance for the Presidents optimism, and for his per haps natural temper on account oi harsh criticism, even his supporters cannot stand by him without entering a protest

The Brooklyn Standard Union shakes it's protuberous ears and emits a vi- brant ''hee haw" because General Fred Grant stood beneath the Stars and Bars and delivered graceful and deserved eulogy on Robert E. Lee. If the writer of the praying editorial were examined, we suspect hoofs and tail would be dis covered attached to him.

 Good street car service will develop our town quicker and faster than any amount of money spent in any other direction. I would urge that they be not held back, but encouraged to build tracks on every street in the city in stead of compelling them to take up tracks already built.
 The Louisville and Nashville Rail- road Company permitted tho street car cOmDanieS to come lnto the union sta 7 ton grounds with their tracks so as to enable the companies to bring their cars close enough to the train shed to allow the people to go from the out cost the privilege was granted the street car companies for the purpose of benefting the public. and now you see nearly every line of cars running to the union station and crowds of peo- pie waiting to take cars over the diff ferent lines. If the street car com panies are allowed to connect their tracks, then you can take car to and from any part of the city to the union station, which will be of the greatest benefit to the public.
 To substantiate what street car ser vice will do for city, take, for in stance, Gulfport, Miss, which is a town a few years old. and where there Is now being completed twenty seven CPD miles of street railway, with such inducement and spirit, of progressiveness the real estate at that place has jumped from $50 to $1,OOO per front foot Again, the Louisville nishing street car service between Bay St. Louis.

Better Naval station.

From a health standpoint the gov ernment could have done oetter py choosing the Isle of Pines for a naval and coafing station than Cuba. It wlIl be observed that yellow fever Is un- known there, but no official can guar antee that it will not be known at a naval station in Cuba. The Isle of Pines is also nearer the Panama canal, an important consideration in locating A coaling port.
