Oklahoma Files Complaint Against Eff teen Railroads for High Wheat Rates.

Guthrie. Okla. October 29.-The com plaint of the territory of Oklahoma by w. O. Cromwell. the attorney general, against fifteen railroads, being all trunk line railroads in Oklahoma, and their Texas connecting lines to gulf points, all ieging unfair and illegal rates on wheat in carload lots, has besn filed with the interstate commerce commission In Wash ngton
 The complaint declares that on carload lots reasonable charge on wheat from Oklahoma points to Galveston is not more than mills a ton per mile. whereas the rate actually charged is 7.75 mills a ton mile The cost to the railroad companies Is estimated to be not more than 2la mills a ton mile. Attention is called to the fact that the defendant railroads charge more for the same relative distances in Okla homa than in other states. The rate on wheat in carload lots from Sugden and Ryan. l. T., to Galveston, is 15 cents a hundred pounds. Northward, 103 miles at Fl Reno, the rate is 301a cents. where the rate reasonably should be 20 cents. Discrimination in rates as between other states and Oklahoma is shown.

Setting a Good Example.

Considering how general is the use of Hungarian bitter waters, it is interesting that the proprietors of the Apenta water give assurance that the working of the Apenta springs, Budapest, Hungary. at which it is bottled. is carried out not on merely commercial lines, but under the sclenticfc and hygienic supervision of pr. Leo von Libermann. professor at the Fly gienic Institute of the Royal University at Budapest. The analyses of Apenta as published in the text books on mineral water springs, show that the sulphates of soda and of magnesia of which the latter is predominant, are the chief con stituents Apenta is best known as still or non-ef -effervescent water, but it can also be had carbonated. in small bottles called splits It is said that the importation of this water has grown very considerably in recent years, and 1t is well known that aperient waters have been in world wide use for many years.

St. Petersburg, October 29-Extraordi- nary measures have been instituted to prevent such affairs as the customs rob- bery of Saturday last. Cossacks have re- placed the gendarmes as escorts of money transports and the street in front of the central postoffce will in future be closed for half hour at noon while the regis tered mail is unloaded and cossacks with carbines ready to fire will keep pedes- trians and carriages at a distance.
 Among the twenty-one persons arrested yesterday on suspicion of having been concerned in Saturdays robbery, are sev- eral who have been identified as members of the band, and one of them, who is thought to have been the leader, had been interned in the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul. instead of an ordinary prison so as to preclude any attempt at rescue No trace, however. has been found of the booty the exact amount of which was $1SSS26, or the woman who carried the money away.

 The bulk of the stock of this company Is owned in New York and it is claimed by the Chicago holders that the New York owners are trying to freeze out all of the local interests.
 Attorneys E. B. Burling. who filed the petitions for the stockholders said: We have done everything to keep out of the courts but the parties in New York would not even confer with us. There seems to be no way to protect the inter- ests of the stockholders but by a fight in the courts'

Just one week!
THE FREE SEED GRAFT.

In his annual report the secretary
of agriculture says: "The congress
sional seed work for the year has
been conducted along practically the
same lines as in the past. The num-
Der of packages of miscellaneous veg
etable and flower seed sent out during
the year was about 1000 900. There
has been no change in this number
during the past five years"
There has, however, been consider
able criticism of the practice and,
with the beginning of hearings on the
subject before the house committee on
agriculture, II is interesting to recall
the hostile campaign of last year. II
was shown that the distribution cost
something like a quarter of million
dollars and that it was practically
valheless. II did not help the agri-
culture of the country for several
reasons. A large percentage of the
packages never reached the farmers.
The seeds sent out were OF common
varieties, so that there was no gain
such as could be claimed from the in
PRODUCTION of new ones. The net re-
suit was kind of petty graft for
congressman who burdened the mails
with much stuff that went to waste or
was destroyed, on the chance of pleas
ing constituent here and there.
Naturally the distribution is OPP
posed by seed men. but it is condemn
ed also by farmers organizations,
horticultural societies and the facul-
ties of experiment stations and agri-
cultural colleges. That it should be
generally condemned is clear. for it
works out simply as a fraud upon the
people.
The case against il was so strong
that at the last session the committee
omitted the item for free seed dis
tribution. but il was reinserted by
the house by vote of 1853 to SO. An
excuse for this action was that no one
had appeared before the committee
to advocate the omission. AS a con-
sequence delegation of seed dealers
did appear before the senate commit
te later and plans were laid for a de-
termined fight this year against the
old abuse.
The practice as II has prevailed is
both indefensible and contemptible.
II should not have been tolerated so
long, and It is to be hoped that there
is honesty enough in congress to put
an end to it now.--Chicago Record
Herald

ANOTHER VIEW.

Secretary Metcalfe's report on
conditions IN San Francisco, trans
mitted to congress by the president,
gives a view of the Japanese ques-
tion from an entirely new angle. In
stead of there being a separation of
the races, because the laps are ma
tured and the Caucasians infants, we
find that a large per cent, practical
ly all the children, are under 20
years of age. Instead of there being
plenty of facilities afforded for the
orientals to acquire an education,
there is only one school In the heart
of the burned district OF a city OF
$4,000 inhabitants for Monaghan
children from all sections to trudge
to day, after day. Testimony con-
corning boycotts, and assaults-the
latter frequently on distinguished
Japanese statesmen on visits of sci
entific and national importance-in-
dictate that trade jealousy has played
an important part in stirring up race
hatred on the Pacific coast. Secreta-
ry Metcalf suggests a simple remedy
for the only possible evil attending
the school situation, the mingling of
adult Mongolians with little Cauca-
sian children, and that is an age linn
it for school attendance that will APP
ply to all people, aliens and citizens.
There are always two sides TO a ques-
ton. not of a strictly moral nature,
and, OF course. we can not fully ap-
preciate the San Franciscan's views.
He has his natural prejudices, and
there may be abuses that we do not
understand. But the Indications are
that San Francisco hoodlums are
guilty of most of the abuse. At any
rate, we have statistics to show that
only 90 japanese children were dis
tributed among 30 schools, with no
more than five to the school, and
only two of the 80 were 20 years
old.
