REASONABLE PASSENGER RATES

When the Legislature of Ohio in
1906 passed the 2-cent passenger.rate
bill the railroad managers declared
1t was ruinous and confiscatory. But
the official returns of all the railroads
in the State for the year ending June
80, 1907, as figured by the Ohio Rail.
road Commission, shows substantial
increase over the preceding year. This
increase is due to the elimination of
free passes and excursion rates and
the natural growth of passenger traffic.
The result in the State Of Ohio, how.
ever, is not fair criterion for some
other States, because it is traversed
by interstate railroads from East to
for passenger traffic. 1t is also more
densely populated State than many
others, ranking higher than New
York, or Pennsylvania, perhaps, with
its well,to.do farming population.
1t would seem that the Interstate
Commerce Commission could figure
out the cost per mile for passenger
traffic which could be used as
standard for fixing the rates in each
State, as the Ohio Commission has
done for that State. Fair play de-
mands that the railroads shall be al
lowed to charge reasonable rates that
will provide fair interest upon the &C.
tual money invested, but no return on
watered stock must be expected

DELIeERATIoN IMPOSSIBLE.

1t will he a long and expensive
trip for Democrats from the East to
take to attend the Denver convention,
especially as the railroads have given
notice that no reduced fares will be
conceded, But those who attend the
convention as delegates may gain in
composure what they lose in cash, by
the absence of the noisy enthusiasts
who have made some conventions a
beer garden more than a deliberative
assembly. With ten thousand specta-
tors bowling FOR their favorite candi,
date, nothing that a speaker says can
be heard by anyone fifty feet from him,
md the art of gesture is not equal
to imparting ideas.

only the vast outlay for building
these enormous war engines. but the
constant expense of keeping them in

PRAISE FOR CLARK.

Mr.. Crosby Thomas of Cleveland
Ohio, who has just returned from
Washington, where he has been look
ing after legislation regarding Florida
harbors and waterways, in an inter.
view with a Times-U Union reporter in
Jacksonville has the following to say
in praise of Congressman Clark:
II was especially pleased and sur.
prised at the favor which Congress-
man Clark was able to procure for
me. Frank Clark, although a COM
paratively new member, has command
ed the respect of the House and will
prove a very useful man for the State,
He is aggressive, and yet makes no
enemies, and has attained a standing
seldom reached by Congressman until
they have had many years of service.
For the sake of the State it is
greatly to be regretted that Florida
will probably lose both her older rep
resentatives in the House on account
of the Senatorial contest and the
people should not fail to return Mr..
Clark by big vote, for that will still
further increase his influence in the
House.
He has introduced two very i'm
portant bills this session. the passing
of either of which would make him
famous. The bill for the sale of the
Philippine Islands will probably re.
ceive very little support, although
there are likely to be times during
the next ten years when the defeat OF
that bill will be regretted.
"The refund cotton tax bill ought to
pass, and it would mean much to the
people Of the South to have those
many millions of dollars returned
which they have paid out in illegal
taxes"

Governor Broward has appointed
W. j. Bryan, the brilliant young at
torney of Jacksonville who was his
campaign manager in the last guberna
torial campaign, to succeed the Ia
mented Senator Mallory. Mr.. Bryan
was already an avowed candidate for
the office, and the death OF Senator
Mallory has given him the place con.
siderably earlier than his fondest
hopes anticipated. The people OF the
Gulf Coast, however. are not likely
to relish the fact that the Atlantic
Coast has both United States Sena.
tors, and will so demonstrate at the
primary in 1908. We are OF the opin.
ion that Governor Broward has made
a mistake in making the appointment,
and also that Mr.. Bryan has made a
political mistake in accepting the ap.
pointment. Hon. John Stockton, who
built up the present crowd In the
political saddle, seems to have been
overlooked" by the Governor, but the
people will see that Mr., Stockton is
rewarded in 1908 by placing him in
the gubernatorial chair.

Elizabeth river by which means thous-
ands of small craft laden with truck
are towed daily TO Norfolk and their
cargo loaded upon shios and trains
and sent broadcast over the country
Several truckers hereabouts are worth
a million dollars and their farms re-
semble to a great degree the country
residences of the wealthy. Zach large
truck farm has Its foremen and book
keepers. and IN not Il few instances
have established forges and smithies
Tor repairing OF their wagons and inn
plements and the shoeing of their
horses. The value of the farms can
be estimated TO some degree by the
sale Of one recently which brought
SS60OO0, truck land usually selling at
from 5000 to $3.50 an acre. Recently
one trucker placed an order FOR and re-
ceived crates. barrels and baskets fot
shipment purposes valued at $4,000.
To the northern trucker these vast
estates would prove a marvel to be-
hold. and the sight Of thlee hundred
or more colored men AMI wcmen work

one to the uninitiated. The colored
