Achievements of Confer
 ence for Education.
wsrA is in Charse of Foremost Men of the southern states--what Has Been Already Ac-
 eomplished.
BY WILL T. SIBERIAN.

'Demosracy at the task of self equipment
 This is the epigrammatic and com- prehensive description of the life pur- pose of the Conference for Education in the South. uttered by leader of the movement which has achieved such inspiring results. The work of the Conference Is correlated with the work of the Southern Education Board and the Southern Education Board is connected with the General Edutation Board. but the field of the three is different. To the General Education Board John D Rockefeller recently geve the enormous sum of $32,000,-
 But the Southern Education Board and the Conference for Education in the South have no million dollars for the endowment of colleges, which is well. For having at its disposal mill Hons. the Board and the Conference would be hampered In its campaign work. It might be hamper,d still more by divergence of the views as to how the money should be expend- cd. The Northern members who are apparently as much in earnestt for the educational improvement of The South might firmly hold and no doubt would. that the solution of the question> of tAAtOiuSy ouu thC CteiHdl auCSiioh VI the negro were interwoven. The Northern view might be that the ills to which the South is heir could be cured by the higher education of the negro. The Southern members of the Board would not subscribe to that academic theory. If there were mil lions to give away the Northern men might, as they have in the past, feel that the most good could be accom- piished in donations to negro colleges and schools. Again would the South ern educators differ and in the differ ence of opinion there would assuredly be possibilities of serious disagree ment-a disagreement serious enough to block the accomplishments that would come from united and concerted action.
 Campaign of Education.
 But a campaign to arouse the sleep ing, a campaign to stir to action was one in which union and harmony could always be had. The inevitable negro question could be tacitly ignored as an Apple of Discord. poisoned with acute dissension. It could be ignored and the prize ahead could be striven for and won.
 The Conference for Education in the South had had four annual sessions before it's plans assumed the definite shape. the basis upon which the splen- did structure of success mas been built. In resolutions adopted at the fourth Annual Conference, 1t was de- termined that conditions existing in the Southern States seemed fully ripe for the lsrger development of the schools. Asserting Its desires to as- scciate itself actively with the work of organizing better school systems

 The two new monster passenger To- comotives of the Western Railway of Alabama reached Montgomery Saturday afternoon on the Western local freight No from Atlanta. They were taken to the Western shors in North Mont gomery where the work of putting the engines together will begin today. It is expected it will require three or four days to put them into service.
 The large locomotives are said to eclipse anything in the South. in size, weight and equipment. Each of them weighs 227.O0O pounds and each cost more than $2O.00O. They will be used to draw the Western vcstibuled pas- senger trains Nos. 35. 36. 37 and 3s.

The we'll gotten up catalogue num-

THE we'll gotten up catalogue num-
Der of the bulletin of the Northern
Normal and Industrial school at
Aberdeen is before us. If we are to
Judge by the appearance of the work
and its general reputation we should
say that the institution is a good one
an institution that is a credit to the
state. However, in looking through
this catalogue we are reminded of the
utter folly of the original investment
and of the annual cost of mainten-
ance. The normal course is, of a ne
cessity, duplicate of the normal
course offered by the other and older
normal schools of the state. This in
stitution offers a course in domestic
economy, or household economics"
as it is preferred to call it. Then
come mechanical courses and brief
industrial courses, all of which advan-
tages were offered by the agricultural
college before the Northern Normal
and Industrial was thought of. In a
state of only 100000 population it
seems foolish to maintain SO many
institions of the same kind when one
would be sufficient, and could be
made of greater efficiency by the con-
centration of energy. 1t is not only
the direct waste of money in main
tanning duplicate institution, but
there follows the "log rolling by its
friends IN the Legislature, the combi-
nations to secure appropriations
through promises to aid others in Sc
curing larger sums than might other
wise be obtained. and sometimes such
combination results in the enact
ment of other bad or useless legisla-
tion and in the turning down of pro-
posed laws of merit. Again it creates
factional strife within the education
al forces of the state, opening up the
way for political and industrial fac.
tions, all of which work against the

AN IMPORTANT CASE.

There is a case before the interstate
commerce commission that is ole
enough to inspire respect Nearly &c
years ago it started on its course anC
is now being argued for the fourtl
time, with the exception that the law
of 1906 will give the complainants q
show in court.
The grievance laid before the com
mission belongs to the city of Spo
kane, located 800 miles east of the
Pacific ends of the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific railroads.
The railroads compel Spokane tc
pay heavier freight charges than are
paid by the cities on the coast with 9
haul of 800 miles longer. The rail
roads explain that they are exposed tc
water competition at the termineI
points and are not at Spokane and
that the rates at Spokane are not ex.
cessive.
The case is one that applies to a
large area of western United States
and if Spokane wins, hundreds of in
terror points will profit by the decis-
ion. Spokane contends that the de-
velopment of the entire inter-moun-
tain region is retarded by the freight
discrimination imposed upon its trad
ing points by railroads.
The long haul and short haul con
tention, once decided by the federal
supreme court to be worthless, is in
yolved in the case and there is an
expectation that the court may re,
verse itself in the light of new legisla
tion on the subject.
The case will be fought to the ex
treme by the loser before the com
merce commission, as it is too import
ant to abandon short of the tribunal
of last resort. Sioux Fall Press.

THE demand by the railroads for a
non breakable rail of a certain manu-
facture which is in a large measure
due to public opinion, has given the
steel trust an excuse for asking an
advance of $500 per ton on rails
The railroads refuse to stand and
deliver Che roads are not accustomed
to this end of the holdup proposition,
and threaten to go to the independ
ent manufacturers. The difficulty is
however, that the trust has so ruined
competition that the independent
concerns cannot meet great demand
1t might be a good time to try the
effect of taking the tariff off trust

THE city of Des Moines, Iowa, has
taken an advanced stand in the matter
of municipal government. AT a
bitterly contested election the people
of Des Moines recently decided to
adopt form of government much on
the Galveston plan" Under the
new method, which will go into effect
next spring, the commission, which
takes the place of city council, will
be composed of one commissioner
from each department of the city
government. Each commissioner is
responsible for affairs in his depart
ment. The co nmissioners are to be
elected by the whole city, thus cut
ting out the old ward system whereby
certain wards might be represented
by man who might be able to slide
into Office through control of an
undesirable element. The Des
Moines plan goes further and contains
the recall system adopted by Los
Angeles. If commissioner is not
what he should be, either from lack
of ability or too much ability in the
wrong direction, he may be removed

ACCORDING to Jim Hills view, as
expressed last winter, the "hostile
legislation, as he was pleased to
term it, would result disastrously to
railroad interests and our industrial
system generally. Jim's road, the
Great Northern, broke all previous
records for net earnings during May
and June Of this year, being rs per
cent. greater .han the earnings OF
1906, which was the best year for the
railroads in the history of our country
up to that time. If Jim was correct
in his diagnosis of the case last win
ter, which he was not, what would
have been the result had no "hostile
legislation" been enactedi

The question of what to do with
our vice-presidents, which has re-
ceived the attention of some periodic
ais the past few months, is disposed
of by "Dooley" in short order. He
tells Mr.. "Hinnisey" that the presi-
dent has always claimed to be a
servant of the people. Dooley would
promote every man who steps down
from the presidential chair and make
him "an equal with other people. If
the ex-president wanted employment
DooIey would let him try to get back
into the presidency, which, he says,
would be a life job.

jim HILL has always been consider
ed a great financier, and he is, but he
has lost the confidence of the people,

THE RAILWAY EXEMPTION

An Independent railway system, ol
an extension Of railway already or
ganizcd and IN operation. is fully de
serving exemption from taxation for q
period of years II It opens up a sec
ton Of country that obviously Is IN
need OF modern transportation facili
ties
History in these islands has showed
that 1t is profitable for the taxpayers
TO subsidize railway system. The
return in taxes and general develop
mcnt has been many fold.
This being true, an exemption of a
per cent. tax granted any persons
ready to invest their money in open
ing up new territory with a railway
line is little enough aid for the Terri
tory to give. The instance has yet to
be cited where railway extension has
rot increased the amount of taxable
property or where extension has fail
ed to aid the progress of the Territory
md increase the business Of all com
mon carriers.
The bill now before the Legislature
should include exemption for any and
all new railway enterprises or exten.
sions on any island. Railway compa'
MES organized should not be discrimi.
mated against as a reward for thei'
good work mp to date.
