make terms with one OF the railroad
companies that the freight on the coal
would just exactly eat up all his profit.
He then tried various combinations
with the different railroads running
into Washington, but found TO his
surprise that all Of their rates, even
though he routed the coal from West
Virginia into Washington by way OF
Richmond. came to exactly the same
figure. Then he tried the scheme of
water transportation. There was a
low railroad rate from these mines to
the seaboard at Newport News, but he
found after taking his coal to New.
port News, that the railroads 80 thor
oughly controlled the Potomac River
transportation that it would cost him
exactly the same to bring the coal to
Washington by rail and water as
though he had shipped it by an all
rail route.
1t is expected that Mr.. Garfield's in.
vestigation will result in recommen.
dations to Congress tending to entirely
divorce railways from control and
ownership of water freight routes.

AFTER THE JOKER"
COMMITTEE HAS DISCOVERED
"NIGGER IN THE WOOOPILE."

Commissioner Garfield Entitled to the Credit
A Merger Of Land and Water Transporta-
tion-The Railroads Have Their Grip on
Conditions at Present-The Proposition Up
to Congress for Relief.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 5, 1907.
Commissioner of Corporations Gar.
field is now engaged in a study OF
water and rail transportation rates
with a view to seeing whether the
water freight rate cannot be used in
many localities to keep down the rail
rate. The theory generally accepted
by the public as a fact, is that water
transportation, being SO much cheaper
than railroad, there is great tendency
to cut freight rates wherever rail and
water lines come into active compe-
tition. This is true enough, but the
point in Mr.. Garfield's Investigation so
far is that these systems OF transporta-
ton never really come into competi-
ton. 1t seems that the railroads own
or control practically all of the water
lines and they are thus able to keep
up the price OF water-borne freight to
approximately the same point as rail
fIelght.
This has been brought out by the In.
terstate Commerce Commission in
number OF its investigations recently.
1t has been shown that a number OF
the trains.continentsl railway lines
either actually own transatlantic
and train Pacific steamship lines or
else own the controlling interest in
their stock. while they are run osten'
sibly as separate companies. This is
particularly true OF the Canadian Pa.
cific, the Northern Pacific and the
Great Northern. Turning to the coast
wise lines, practically all of them are
either owned or controlled absolutely
by the railway companies. Railway
companies operating to adjacent for
eign countries such as Canada and
Mexico, own the steamship lines
which would compete with them to
these countries. The same is true Of
freight lines on rivers. canals and
lakes. In fact, it has been found that
the railroads have combined to prac-
tically kill freight transportation on
the lower Mississippi.
One instance in point was brought
out recently when the Interstate Com.
merce Commission was investigating
the transportation of coal into Wash
ington from West Virginia coal mines.
One witness testified thht he was Of
fered coal at the mine by some of the
independent companies at such a low
rate that he believed he could sell it
at an immense profit in Washington.
He found, however, when he came to

results for the child. And If you
are satisfied, could you not visit any
way, in order to assist just little
and bring about a mutual helpful
ness9 An ounce of precaution is
worth pound of cure in school as
well as out, and we have always
noticed that a parent, once acquainted
with a teacher, never hesitates to
visit that teacher for an explanation
or suggestion pertaining to the well
fare of a child. Cooperation, not
criticism, is the thing worth while.
The teachers are conscientious, and
are working to secure the same
results that you are. Both are work
ing to make upright men and women
of these boys and girls.
Most parents admit they should
visit the schools, but think them
selves so busy that they cannot afford
to waste the time. We are not sure
of the time being wasted. Your
child's welfare is worth as much to
you as yoar business interests and
more. You may think you are
acquainted with conditions as they
exist and with your child's work in
school when you have accepted the
child's reports, both oral and written

Webster Schools.

The enrolment in the Webster
school at this writing is about $50.
OF this number 90 are in the high
school department. The attendance
at the beginning of the second month
was greater than at any time during
last year. A great many pupils
from without the district have been
refused admission. This was neces-
sary because Of the crowded rooms
in the grades; and, in the high
school, on account of several not
being able to enter at the opening Of
school. AS it is there are q pupils
from the rural districts in our high
school. We should not overlook the
children who are attending the
Catholic and German schools. There
are upwards of Is in these schools.
The. total children in attendance is
close to 525. This speaks well for
our city, especially so, when we take
into consideration our enumeration
of last May, which was 600, and this
included all persons between the
ages of 6 and 81. A more rigid
compulsory school law has something
to do with our splendid attendance;
but we are glad to say, with the
exception of very few, that the
parents recognize the advantage OF
an education on the part of their
children and are anxious that they
secure such.
1t would be we'll if more parents
would take little time off, now and
then, and visit the grades to see what
their children are doing. To visit
the schools and become acquainted
with the teachers and pupils in theil
work is duty you owe your children
and teachers as well as yourself. In
many cases parents become dissatis
fed with their children's progress
aud feel the school is not doing what
it should. Now, would it not be the
right thing for you TO visit YOU
child's room and see him in his daily
work and have a consultation or tall
with his teacher as to how you bes

the work in the school room but it is
your duty to lend any assistance pos
sible; and how can you, if you do
not meet the teacher! If you know
nothing about school work, it would
be we'll to visit the rooms where your
children ale and become acquainted
with it; and, if you have any sug-
gestions to make concerning your
children, the teachers would be glad
to have them. Not to learn some
thing about your children's work
means you are to remain ignorant.
You do not need to be able to
write book to see what is being
done.
We have all seen people who could
stand up and tell just how things
should be done. They can tell you
how to run bank or railroad, it
doesn't make much difference what.
They can tell what rules to make
and how to discipline ROOM of boys
and girls,-when every child is diff
ferently constituted from all others
and when, in many cases, they can
not control ole or two at home. Yet
they can tell how to handle 40 or 80
easily. They can tell just what
should be studied and how and why,
just how it should be taught and SO
on lad infnitum." To be frank, the
above is just what the teachers have
been trying to learn. They have
been specializing in this line and are
anxious to get any point or sugges-
tionthat may prove helpful and they
will not question the source if you
can aid them. They do not boast OF
knowing everything, they have nc
monopoly on all knowledge, but they
are common ordinary human beings
who are trying to make men and
women out of these boys and girls
To teach school from without, ano
where no special qualifications are
demanded, and where the children
are purely imaginary, and where yor
are the dictator, pure and simple
and where all is theory and no prac
tIce is demanded, that is dead easy
But to step into the room and tak'
