THE JAIL RECOMMENDED.

DIR. Woodrow Wilson, President OF
Princeton, has declared that the Jail
ia the only place for corporation law
breakers. He says 1t is foolish to fine
the companies for what their officers
do. the proper thing is to Jail the Off
GERS who commit the offense.
ut is only in this way" be said,
"that we can escape socialism. I'm
less we can single out the individual
again and make him once more the
subject and object of law. we shall
have to travel still farther upon the
road of government regulation which
we have already travelled so far, and
that road leads to State ownership D
1T is just as absurd to indict or dis
solve corporations for offenses against
the public as it would be to arrest and
contiscate automobiles because their
owners killed pedestrians. If the in.
dividual is made responsible, he is
convinced, the difficulty will be solv-
ed"
There was Jail penalty. But the
shrewd Mr.. EIkins of w. Va, bam-
boOZled Congress into cutting 1t out.
He declared that the reason the law
was not enforced was because of this
penalty. The juries, he said, would
not inflict the penalty on an officer
who was simply tool in some one
else's hands, and this he declared was
the rea son the law lay dead. But Mr..
Elkins knew better. He knew there
had been no effort to enforce the law
and he further knew that if enforced
it would catch not only minnows but
sturgeon such as Paul Morton and
others. Maybe he, himself, being rail-
road owner, knew he might fall into
the n ct. 1t is easy to see why the high
and mighty did not want jail penal
ty. Too many of their set would be
behind the bars.

WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN.

A very significant thing happened the
other day at the Jamesto wn exposition
during the sessions of the National
Press Association In the great hall of
the Inside Inn. when the writer hap
pened to be present. The popular
orator and editor, John Temple Graves
of Atlanta, was speaking to the large
audience of newspaper men from every
section of this broad land. He referred
to President Roosevelt in very compli
generous. He then said he could not
refrain from mention of great and
wise statesman, tho not much in the
public eye nOw-Grover Cleveland.
There was not very hearty response
to this. He then said: But there is
another man, a statesman, an orator,
Christian gentleman, an honest man.

I'm CROW LAW SUSTAINED.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has unanimously decided that
".Iim Grow" laws are not unlawful
determinations where the same facil-
tiles are given the different races for
travel The Commission has had this
matter under consideration for some
time, it has thoroughly gone into it,
and the unanimity of it's opinion is
very fortunate, Had it decided the
matter by a divided body the question
would have bobbed up at every turn,
now it Is somewhat at rest. OF course
Mr.. Foraker will revive it. Of course
demagogues all over the land will do
SO, and OF course the negro bishops
will denounce the Commission and the
States where the laws exist. These
last can be excused, the former can
not. But this decision has gone long
ways toward removing the trouble and
placing the races upon the plane each
should occupy. y

A PROPOSED CUT IN SALARIES

In financial circles it is reported that
at recent meeting of the officials of
the Chesapeake & Ohio Ry. in New
York, a committee of three was APP
pointed to investigate disbursements
for the last year and also to investigate
expenditures for the coming
wear. The report says that President
Stevens is a member of this committee.
Mr.. Stevens left this morning for New
York to attend meeting of the board
of directors. Vice-President Decatur
AXtelI declined to discuss the report
or to denv or confirm the statement.
The Tumor has caused considerable
uneasiness among the emploSes and
officials here. Many fear that an err Ct
retrenchment is threatened. If there
should be any cutting down of salaries
they allege they would be in bad fix.
owing to the high price of rents and
all living expenses. Another report IL
that a board of control has been ap
pointed, consisting of five directors,
including the president and vice pres,
ident, to have general supervision OF
operation as well as finances.
Last week we noticed the action OF
the c. & y. Ry. in cutting off laborers
and stopping work. The above clip
ping shows why this WAS done in part.
The conditions along the line are much
as we represented them, but we were
unaware that there was brewing cut
in salaries. We can rest assured that
this cut will not strike the tall tim Der,
but will exhaust itself after 1t has been
practiced on those in the hum bier
walks of official life. The sudden stop
made in nearly all work is laughable at
places. At Lewis tunnel and Jerry s
run, half filled cars stand. Car loads of
material dumped was not leveled down,
but left just as it fell from the cars. All
is confusion and the work looks as if
those who we're doing 1t had fled before
some impending calamity. There are
few who believe that all this is any
thing but tempest in a tea pot, a
bluff, move adopted TO terrify the
public, and make them believe that a
great crisis is imminent, unless the
public lets the railroads alone. If the
public will not then the public must
flee from the wrath to come.

It is known that at the last guberna
torial election in New York VIM. Il.
Hearst was the regular Democratic
nominee. though he had also been NOM
mated by another organization. In
talking to a prominent Democratic
New York lawyer last week, he inform
ed us that not single Democratic
acquaintance OF his voted for Hearst.
This emphasizes how unreliable q
State New York is, and it further may
be a warning to the party to accept 10
nominee for president from that State.
When party men begin voting for the
''best man" then party organization
is thing of the past, and those who
reckon On old lines will reckon without
their host.

James j Hill says that the credit of
the railroads has been ruined. Loss
of credit, Of course, means that the
public has lost confidence in the man
ayers of the railroad corporations; and
for that result the Harrimans, 6chiffs,
Cassatts. and Others who have been in
volved in the scandals of the past two
years are responsible. No doubt, these
men would be glad to unload their
watered stock on the government.
But that scheme won't work.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease. and prescribed local rem
edies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
