RAIL WAY MAIL PAY
WILL Be REDUCED
CUT OF 100000 APPROVED BY
COMMITTEE AND WEIGHT OF
BAGS MUST NOT BE ADDED TO
WEIGHT OF MAIL.

Washington, January 31.-A compromise
pay was agreed on today between repre-
sentatives of various roads which have
made contracts and the House committee
on postoffices, and post roads AS origin
ally prepared by the committee. the post
office appropriation bill provides for a
per cent reduction on all contracts over
routes averaging 5000 pounds per day; a
per cent reduction on all routes aver
aging 1900 to $4,000 pounds per day. and a
fiat rate of SIS per ton per mile per year
on all routes averaging more than $4,000
pounds per day. Through Representative
Hodge of Iowa the railway men agreed to
accept this cut, providing that the fiat
rate on routes over $4,000 pounds day
be increased to $40 a ton. The committee
agreed to increase the rate from SIS to
$40, and this was accepted by the rail-
road men, who thereupon waived their
right to hearing.
In addition to reducing the price per
ton which railways are to be paid for
hauling the mail, the committee has ap-
proved a cut of $100OOO0 In the amount
to be paid railways for the rent of mail
cars. The committee also decided that the
weight of mail bags must not hereafter
be added to the weight of mail In comput-
lns the amount carried OH the various
routes. 1t is impossible to estimate what
saving will result to the government from
the deduction of the weight of bags. At
least 100000 will be saved by the cut
which the committee decided to make

MILLER WINS FIGHT FOR
STATE TO PAY SALARIES

Montgomery, January S1-(Speelal)-
Jere Kings bill placing county officers
on salary instead of fees, as at present,
will be reported favorably by the house
committee on judiciary This action was
decided upon at a meeting tonight. The
bill will affect only Jefferson, Montgom-
cry, Mobile, and possibly Dallas and
Calhoun, and will not become effective
during the tenure of any of the present
officeholders. The result will be to make
compensation in Jefferson about one-f1fth
of what 1t is now.
Senator Miller won his fight in the aft
ernoon session of the senate on the bill
to have the judges of all courts of record
paid from the state treasury. As it is
now many are paid by the counties. How
ever, the bill was recommitted for fur
tehr consideration
The bill viii save nearly $4,000 year to
Jefferson county in judges salaries with
the additional judge to be appointed
Here is comparison. The senator who
secured reconsideration comes from a.
county that gets back for schools and
pensions from the state more than 1t
pays for all purposes, while Jefferson gets
back only one-sixth of the amount it pays

Tlmidity That Is Fatal.

o. s. Marden in Success Magazine.
Timidity also binders freedom.
Thousands of able young men and
young women In this country are ambi-
tious to make the most Of themselves,
but are fettered completely or held
back by an abnormal timidity, a lack
of salf-faith. They feel great unused
powers within struggling for express
sion, but fear that they may fail. The
fear of being thought forward or ego
tistical seals their lips, palsies their
hands and drives their ambition back
upon itself to die of inaction. They do
not dare to give up certainty for an
uncertainty; they are afraid to push
ahead. They wait and wait, hoping
that some mysterious power may lib
crate them and give them confidence
and hope.
Many people are imprisoned by ig-
norance. They never get the freedom
which education gives. Their mental
powers are never unlocked. They have
not the grit to struggle for emancipa-
ton, the stamina to make up for the
lack of early training, or they think
they are too old to begin. The price
of freedom seems too high to pay at
their time of life, and SO they plod
upon low plain when they could have
gained the heights where superiority
dwells.
Others are bound by superstition or
the letters of prejudice, which makes
their lives narrow and mean. These
are the most hopeless of all. They are
so blinded that they do not even know
they are not free, but they think other
people are in prison.

GRAIN SHIPPERS
ARE OVERCHARGED
FIRST DAY OF INTERSTATE COM
MERGE COMMISSIONER BRINGS
INTERESTING DEVELOPMENTS
IN OKLAHOMA HEARING.

Oklahoma City. Okla. January 31.-That
shippers of grain over the Missouri Kan
sas and Texas railroad, since January l,
1905, are entitled to rebates amounting
to thousands of dollars, collected by the
railroad under an arbitrary cent charge
per hundred weight on freight in for
eign cars turned over to the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas at junction points, was
the chief development during the first
days hearing before Judge c. A. Prouty,
Interstate commerce commission. Judge
Prouty to facilitate matters combined
the cases of the Ponca City Milling COM
pany and the Blackwell Milling company,
as they both involve the same question.
The railroad company made no fight
against the petitions for damages.
Another interesting feature brought out
In the testimony today Is that it Is
cheaper to ship grain 800 miles to Chicago
than it is to Gainesville, Tex, distance
of 40 miles.
This testimony was developed in hear
ing the complaint of w. o. Mitchell VS..
the Santa Re. Mitchell testified that
when there was wheat failure In Texas
the railroad company raises the rates to
a prohibitory point, and forces the ship
pers to ship north. where the price is
not as good as it was in Texas.
]. r. Kontz, general freiht agent of
the Santa Fe, announced a decrease in
rates from Oklahoma City to Gainesville
and Forth Worth commencing March 15
To Gainesville the reduction will be about
cents and to Fort Worth about 2 cents.
Mr.. Kontz admitted that conferences of
railroad men were held in regard to the
fixing of rates lin order to prevent d
ia tie war"

CLASH ENDANGERS
FRENCH CABINET
Wide Divergence of Views on
Church Question
CLEMENCEAU STANDS PAT
Rejects Offer of Blshops-Mlnister
BRAND Believes That War With
Church Has Gone Far Enough.
No ultlmatum.
CLEMENCEAU STANDS PAT

Paris, January 31.-The existence of the
cabinet is believed to be in danger as a
result of the clash In the Chamber of
Deputies, last night between Premier
Clemenceau and Minister of Education
BRAND. While the incident was superfi-
cially smoothed over, 1t is learned that it
was the result of a radical divergence
of views regarding the modus vivendi
proposition of the French bishops. Mr.
BRAND, like his chief. regards the propo.
sition as being unacceptable in its present
form, but the former believes that the
war with the church has gone far enough
and IL it is possible to reach an adjust
ment the door of Cancellation should not
be closed.
NJ. BRAND takes the position that nego-
tiations with the French bishops would
not lay the government open to the
charge of admitting itself in the wrong,
and that in any event the government
should pause for the purpose of demon
strating to the country whether the
church is serious In its desire to effect
a working arrangement. NJ. Clemenceau
on the other hand, as indicated by his
remarks last night, fatty rejects even
the discussion of the bishops decision, and
fayors the immediate issuance of a cir
eular to the projects. notifying them that
the conditions which the parish priests
are authorized to propose are entirely I'M
acceptable. He will brook no opposition,
and at the cabinet meeting held today ap-
parently carried his point, M. BRAND and
Finance Minister Caillaux being author
lied to determine to whom the gifts and
legacies in possession of the church shall
ultimately go in default of the formation
of culture associations.
Nevertheless the announcement at any
moment of the retirement of NJ. BRAND
from the cabinet would not cause sur
prise and If he goes the whole ministry
will almost inevitably follow. The fol-
lowers of ex-Premier Combes have been
actively working to undermine the cab
met but ex-Premier Carrien or NJ. BRAND
rather than NJ. Combes, are considered
likely to be offered the premiership.
The radical newspapers are urging NJ
Clemencau on, insisting that the pursu-
ance of his policy of not making further
concessions to the vatican is his only sal
walton. The opposition press regards the
cabinet as doomed. The Echo De Paris
remarks:
1.-The habit of manipulating the over
throw of cabinets is so irresistible with
NJ. Clemencau that he has begun the work
of demolishing his own ministry"
An authorized statement issued by Car
dinal Richard from his residence today
dnies that the bishops proposition was
an ultimatum, declaring that it was Of
fered in all sincerity as a basis for an
understanding leading to religious peace
and adding:
1.-THE church is doing everything to
avert the calamity of the suspension of
public worship. If private worship is
forced on the people the government will
be resnonsible."
