advancing partisan interests than ever
before in the country's history.
II is admitted, too, that most Of the
members Of congress who urge the APP
pointment Of men to federal positions
are honestly anxious to have men of
merit selected and II is known that
President Roosevelt has always taken
a determined stand against appointing
men solely on account of their politi-
cal backing. Mr.. Burton's record in
the senate furnishes sufficient proof
that he looked upon the disposition of
federal patronage from a different
viewpoint then than he does now.

GOOD THING ALL ROUND.
TwO-Cent Passenger Rates n Boost
for Country and Railroads.
Ga Y n

St Louis Republic.
Now the Illinois senate, following the
lead of the house. has passed the. 2-cent
railroad fare bill. Missouri, Nebraska and
other states have passed such laws and
within a few months the reduced rate will
be effective throughout a large part of the
growing middle west That the results OF
this legislation will greatly contribute to
the upbuilding Of this territory there seems
no doubt Cheaper transportation pas
senger or freight means greater activity.
It means livelier and healthier circulation.
a more vigorous and fruitful life.
As for the other-the railroads.&c. Of the
matter. we hear less and less about the
injury done to the railroads by the 2-cent
legislation. 1t appears that the railroads
have decided to accept the inevitable in
good grace and to devote their surplus en-
ergies to preparing for the increased pas
senger traffic which must begin with the
operation of the law. With the abolition
of passes. the doing away of a system Of
favoritism and discrimination, the roads
should find themselves able to carry at a
profit for cents a mile the man who
travels only 100 miles just as they have
for years carried the man who travelled
1000 miles.
Viewed from the standpoint OF enlighteu-
ment as to railroad methods and PROFITS
recently attained by the public. it seems
that the 2-cent legislation comes at the
psychological moment In the development
OF the roads and the country which they
have made and which has made them what
they are

PLANS FOR RUSSIAN JEWS
Effort Will Be Made to Land Emf
grants at Galveston Instead

London. Dec 31.-Israel Zangwill in
an interview today regarding the colo
nization scheme Of the Jewish territor-
ial organization. said they would start
a propaganda in Russia for the purpose
of explaining to wouldtbe emigrants. to
most Of whom the words New York and
America are Synonymous, the advisa-
bility of making Galveston instead of
New York their port of, arrival as
from Galveston no fewer than six rail-
road lines lead cut TO all the best points
for immigrants.
There is no idea whatever" Mr..
Zangwill continued, "of these immi-
grants remaining even a single day i'm
Galveston. The OBJECT OF establishing
an information bureau at Galveston is
that immigrants Immediately upon ar
rival may learn of the best places
where work at their particular trades
can be obtained and there has not
been the faintest idea of establishing a
colony in Texas. The whole matter re-
duces itself to moral guidance of
those emigrating with their own re-
sources and to the simple facilitation
OF their enbarkation for Galveston in
stead of New York. Once the imrni-
grants arrive in New York the mischief
is done. as they never proceed further. ="
