States, the noblest product of the
thought of the founders OF the re-
public, under which our progress
has been phenominal and cur rights
and liberties safe guarded.
The forty six states are not yet
ready to tear that document to
pieces because the governor of one
state imagines that it is relic of a
dark past largely so, because it
stands in the way of his own po-

bow to Diagnose Lameness in Horse,

II you are in doubt as to whether
the injury is in the foot or shoulder
lead the horse over small post or
log. If the injury is in the foot the
horse will step over the obstruction.
Ii in the shoulder he will drag his
leg over in stumbling manner.
LIE the injury which produces the
lameness is in the leg or shoulder,
and its location is in doubt, take the
animal to some place where there is
no draft or wind and wet the leg
and shoulder thoroughly with cold
water. In a short time the spot
where the injury is located will
commence to steam.

III 1902 there was manufactured
in the United States l26,3l6,000
pounds of oleomargarine. 1908, the
output dropped TO II, 0,OOOpounds.
In 1904 is decreased to 4S,071,O 900
pounds, Since then there has been
a slight increase in this product,
the amount manufactured in 1905
being 49,SS1,000 pounds, and in
1906, 53,l47,00O pounds. These
figures should again remind the
farmers of the importance of the
oleo act which was passed in 1902
and which act practically prohibits
the sale Of oleo as competitor of
genuine butter.

The Rebate Evil.
BY WILLIAM j. GAYNoR.

(Justice of the Supreme Court of Now York;
The effect Of wealth, provided it
be acquired ON equal terms of com
petition-that is to say, without the
favor, connivance or discrimination
of government, or the aid of statutes,
cannot be pernicious to republican
institutions, but, on the contrary,
tends to the healthy activity. welfare
and happiness of the community,
and hence to the perpetuity of such
institutions.
There is no danger of the confis-
cation OF private property in this
country any more than in England.
But the acquisition Of private prop
erty by the dishonest use of public
franchises and the aid of cunning
statutes is very different thing. 1t
is more than menace to our repub-
lican institutions; il is fraught with
their destruction il suffered to con-
tinue; the moral odium of it would
in the end debase us all, and no de-
based people can in the nature Of
things remain free, self-governing
people.
1t has been difficult to get some
people to understand that our rail
roads are not private roads, but are
public highways, just as much as
our roads which run alongside OF
them.
A railroad is not private monop-
oily, although we must acknowledge
that those in control of our railroads
are, in their origin and the very law
Of their being public highways, sub
ject to the regulation and control of
government. Everyone may use
them on equal terms. Any favorit-
ism in rates is absolutely unlawful
and always was.
1t is the guilty railroad official,
however high, and even though he.
may have risen to high place in
the counsels and government of the
nation, or if he be only the local
station agent in the village or the
lonliest place, who should be prose-
cuted.
This favoritism in freight rates is
the greatest crime of our day and
generation. To allow one man or
set of men to have their freight
carried over the public highways at
a rate much lower than that which
their rivals in business are charged
as to enable them to undersell such
rivals and even drive them out of
business is so heartless and SO
damnable that we shall be looked
back upon by our descendants and
by the future historian as a genera
ton lost to moral sense for having
suffered such condition to exist SO
long.
This favortism in freigt rates has
been such deep-seated abuse that
it is not to be eradicated in years.
Those who are proGting by it, name
ly, the few who controlour railroads,
our iron highways, and then prin-
cipally the great trusts, and, last.
politicians and public men who are
in their pay, are not to give up
easily such a soulce Of wealth and
power.
1t is my belief that the govern
ment should appoint the general
freight agent of every railroad, and
it may have to do so, for he, through
his subordinates, could stop the
abuse at once. The duty Of such
officials would be not to fix rates,
but to see that every one paid the
prescribed-rate, no more and no
less.

DECEMBER COLLECTIONS.

Sheriff Seals reports that the
collections in his Office during De-
cember were very brisk and that
for the month he got together
something like $75,ooo,oo. OF
this amount he turned into the
county treasury about $35, 900, 90,
to thelevee board about $50, 900, 90,
and to the state about $40, 900, 90.
Collections so far are over half of
the entire amount due for taxes,
and less than the amounts usually
paid in by this season of the year.
He cites, as an evidence OF the fact
that money is scarce, that many OF
the taxpayers of the county, who
are usually very prompt. are still
due their taxes.-Cleveland Enter
