While the public OF justice will be somewhat

The innocent stockholder is victim of rebating
in one way just as the competitors of the rebate
seeking concern suffer in another The most import
ant thing now IS to break up the widely prevalent
practice of discrimination. Unless the railroad
arrangements are ultimately sound Y disciplined by
those who have put them into power, the public will
still be suspicious of them, though they have
turned States evidence.

The Teachers Pay.

The action of the Franklin
County Teachers association
against those township school
boards that ignore the law in ref
erence to the pay of teachers seems
in every way to be justified. The
teachers get little enough under
the law, and they should be de-
prived of no part of it. There is
no reason to expect educational
progress from policy of niggard-
liness in compensation. Instead
of regarding the school system as
a necessary evil which is to be
maintained at the least possible
expense, as some do, there should
be the setting up of fair stardard
of work with adequate living pay
and the employment of no teacher
who does not meet the require
ments. One basic trouble is in
the quality of the men who are
chosen to the position of school
director. Some of them have no
adequate conception of their duty
and the result is pirsimony
which makes educational effort
well-nigh waste. Columbus

THE RIGHT MEDICINE

"The majority of women who are suf-

GREAT RAIL
ROAD MERGING
Hooking Valley and X. &
M. Roads Will be Con-
soIidated.

Without question the Hooking
Valley and X. 4S M. roads will be
consolidated..- The officials of both
companies have been making prep
arations for that event for some
months-in fact for the past
eighteen months. AS the Hook
ing Valley interests own approx
mately the majority of the stock
of X. & M, it seems to the lay
man that the latter company would
only be coming into.its own.
A meeting of the executive Off
GERS of both roads will be held at
Columbus on October |. These
officials will represent the stock
holders of both companies and it
is almost definite conclusion that
the merging of the two lines will
be effected on that date. Attorney
General Wade Ellis squashed the
proposed deal along this line some
months since, but the company
officials of both interests have had
some of the best legal corporation
talent engaged in finding way
since that time.
Now that meeting has been
called for Columbus on the above
date it is more than even bet
that d correct legal solution has
been found within the pale of
present corporation laws of both
state and nation. The date for
depositing the Kanawha IL Michi-
gan stock with j. p. Morgan and
company expires on October and
the transfer books will close on
September B to open on October .
There is no question but that
the merger will be made. This
means much to Logan. In all
probability the freight service will
be arranged so that this city will
be the end of the Ohio division of
the X. d NJ. Likewise a change
will be made in the passenger
service If all reports emanating
from inner recesses of Official cir
cles of the company, Logan will
be the only passenger division be-
tween Toledo and Charleston,
making three or four more
passenger crews which will lay
over in Logan. 1t is the intention
of the company TO inaugurate a
through passenger service from
the lakes TO Virginia tidewater
and the large eastern cities. Lo-
gan is about midway between To-
ledo and Charleston and with the
present facilities for repairs,
yards. etc, no better place could
be found on the II. V. system
than this city. !
