SHORTAGE OF RAILROAD CARS.

p EPORTS received by the Interstate Com
~ merce Commission from its agents in the
far West and throughout the Middle West indi-
cate shortage of railroad cars this fall and win
ter for moving the crops. The growers will again
be confronted with the serious problem of ade-
quate transportation facilities. One cotton ship
per in the Southwest writes that on the eve of
moving the large cotton crop in his section there
is a shortage of cars and much of the cotton may
60 to waste. The conferences with the railroad
officials, this shipper Declares have been wholly
unsatisfactory. Other agents of the commission,
however, report that the railroad companies
throughout the West have many contracts for
new cars and hope to increase their facilities
This delay in the shipment of commodities
means heavy loss to shippers. They make con-
tracts for delivery and under present conditions
are unable to fulfil them because they cannot get
cars for transportation. Then, again, the COM
panies may select favorte shippers and practice
the arts of discrimination and sand-bagging, with
which they are so familiar, so that they can prac
tically damage or make the business of producer,
or manufacturer, or anyone else The growers
are thus placed at the mercy OF the railroad mag
nates and it is this situation that has caused the
investigation of the management OF the COM
panies. The frequent complaints make all the
more necessary a continuation of the policy pur-
sued by President Roosevelt Wealth is created
in the country and the railroad companies are
either unable or unwilling to handle it adequately
This makes a general disturbance of business
which cannot be but harmful. 1t is a curious
condition-that Of being unable to handle busi-
ness.

PUNISHMENT on cRIMINALs.

n AWKISH sentiment often shown towards
criminals finds no supporter in Attorney
General Bonaparte, who delivered an address on
Punishment and Pardon" at the National Prison
Congress, in session at Chicago. Modern society,
he believes, should cease nourishing and shelter
ing habtua criminals. AS Mr.. Bonaparte points
out, the habitual criminal is the product Of mod
ern society. Our ancestors hanged them for their
felonies or put them in prisons to be sooner or
later the prey of fatal disease No one wants the
latter sort OF punishment now, because it would
be cruel.
The rare inhiction Of the death penalty at pres
ent even for atrocous crime, is largely the cause
of the great increase of crime. And it is we'll that
Attorney-General Bonaparte should support the
non-sentimenta view of the matter. We pay
much attention to the criminal, while the poor
honest man, who goes through life struggling to
bring up family and support it, receives little
attention
Abolition of capital punishment finds no favor
with the Attorney-General Rather would he in
Aict the death penalty upon felons who have been
convicted several times of henous offenses, which
separate offense in itself was not of sufficient
gravity to warrant the extreme penalty

y which TO improve things Our appropr'a-
tion for schools has increased from 5000 0
in 1898 TO $4,000 in 1907. Before the year
1898 the colored people were practically
without school buildings. In some places
they are not well provided yet. The dis
tance TO school is too great. A commits
s'oner OF one color.d school in rep1rting
under the new census law says that OF
the Il children IN his district all but
live between and miles from the school.
In Delaware about one-s.xth of ths popu-
lation is colored. In the South some of the
states cited by Professor Goepel have
over one-half of their population colored.
These states have not yet recovered from
their poverty caused by the great Civil
War. consequently the public school sys-
tenn in that section of the country has not
yet reached the high standard attarel by
some OF the commonwealths of the North.
But these states are not all under pro-
hibition as We find stated in this open
letter" Georgia, for example, Will not
have prohibition until January, 1908.
Names sparsely settled districts account
for that state not standing ahead Of New
York. New York has the best compulsory
education law Of any state in the Union.
Germany's good schools are due to an
excellent compulsory school law. Delaware

POSTAL DEPARTMENT REFORMS.

IN HIS forthcoming report, Postmaster General
= Meyer is expected to urge a parcels post sys-

tem postals savings bank, the sale of stamps
operation for the adjustment Of United States
postal methods according to the best modern
business methods.
Correction of abuses of the second class post
age charges may be urged so that publishers will
not be at the whim of some pretentious official
It is hoped that these reforms will be urged by
Mr. Meyer, as they are needed for the betterment
OF the service with the possible exception of the
postal banks system Nearly every community
has good savings banks and postal savings bank
would be offering only an additional security to
depositors, provided the government guaranteed
safety.
The need Of parcels post system as a relief
from cormorant express companies is felt every
where, but the strength of these companies in
governmental affairs has long delayed the reform
European nations OF consequence have postal
express service to benefit their people, and Ameri-
cans should enjoy the same privileges instead Of
paying tribute to private concerns.
A general overhauling Of department methods
seems to be needed, and Postmaster-G General
Meyer will likely follow the reforms started by

SIZE OF THE VOTE.

nN AN abstract question in Chicago the prop
- ostion for a new city charter was defeated
by about two to one in light vote. The personal
element in the contest being removed, there being
no candidates for office, the voters did not come
out This is but new evidence of the assertion
that voters cannot be aroused where merely prin-
ciples are involved The referendum votes in
New Jersey were always small, and in the election
in this State where the question OF an initiative
and referendum principle was voted upon many
men did not cast their ballots
Judging from experience in elections involving
principles and not candidates. the vote on the
liquor question next November in this State will
fall off considerably as compared with the voting
at a regular election, where candidates are after
office Just which side will be affected is ques-
ton. The activity of the campagners may result
in bringing out large vote, but that 1t will be
considerably below normal may be reasonably
expected

BY an array of statistics government officials
are trying to prove that although the prices OF
ordinary commodities and the expenses OF living
have increased greatly the advance in wages has
kept up with the added living expenses. This
may be true for part OF the community OrgaP
lied labor, for instance has in many cases forced
up wages, but to large army of the unorgan-
lied employees the advance in their wages, if there
has been an advance, has not s-sen commensurate
with the increased cost of living. AS for those
folk who exist upon fixed incomes, the advance
of things has been serious Much Of the advanced
prices is due to the manipulation Of the trusts.

Carpenter, the secretary OF Mr.. Taft,
and Charles Taft, they occupied a spe-

Kyoto was signaled by salvos of aerial
bombs.
General Count Kuroki the COM
mander Of the Japanese right army

rival at Kyoto and invited the party
to an informal luncheon, after which

-, A.,
telopnents may possibly result in the
solution of the deep mystery which
surrounds the discovery of a headless
and dismembered body packed in 81 box,
found near here by several negro work
men, who became frightened at the
gruesome object ana set fire to the
weeds which surrounded the box.
The new development of interest is
a deserted hut, built of tin, in thick
woods near the place where the body
was found. The only objects found
in the hut We're two newspapers, a
chair and several planks across two
boxes The latter had probably served
as a bed for the occupant, who. from
indications, had not long since left
the place. Owing to the size of the
bones, which are quite small, it is be-
lieved that the mutilatcd body is that
of a girl.
The dismembered remains have not
yet beenFbdried, and will not be until
the Norfolk county authorities, who
are making thorough investigation of
the matter, have completed their work.
