A brand new department Of railroad

by the railroads in that State, that

a great deal to DO with the drafting Of
the new Federal rate law, is 10 have

New Texas Schedule.
The Texas commission has been at
tempting 10 enforce a new schedule Of
rates within the State, and the roads
are fighting il. The commission revision
involved a reduction Of probably ten per
cent from previous freight schedules.
and the railroads enjoined it. on the
ground that it would pc confscatory.
Among other things. the railroads al

rates on the valuation 1t had made OF
railroads in the State, that this valu-

which contemplated fair earnings on
this valuation, were therefore too low.

State Valuation.
The States valuation Of railroads will
also come in for a thorough airing, and
will be defended as more than fair to

OF especial interest now, because the
President is understood to contemplate
asking that the Federal Government

President has only this week been con

Life Sentence for Mrs. Alice Law

Mrs. Alice Cooper Lawson, who
killed her husband, has been found
guilty of murder in the second degree
and she will serve a life sentence in
the Indiana Woman's Prison at In
dianapolis. unless she is granted a
new trial and the finding of the pres
ent jury is changed.
The verdict of the jury was return
ed at Sis Thursday morning, and il
caused surprise, as the general opin-
ion was that Mrs. Lawson would re-
ceive at the most only manslaught-
er sentence.
The Lawson trial began April II
and has been in progress ever since
The crime for which Mrs. Lawson
will go to prison was committed late
in the afternoon on September l.
1906, when she entered the saloon ol
her husband, Charles A. Lawson, 42s
Columbia street, Lafayette, and shot
him to death. The only witness oi
the shooting was the principals little
daughter, Ethel. Mrs. Lawson plead
ed self-defense, and this was the basi:
of her defense throughout the trial
Her remarkable composure was q
marked feature. Hundreds of women
have visited the courtroom every day
and more interest was taken in the
trial than in any trial in that count,

The Chronicle this week advocates
the building of macadamized roads in
this county, to take the place of the
gravel roads. This may be step
toward advancement and truly there
is none more desirous of improve
ment than The Tribune, but let us
look to few things that must come
along with this improvement The
farmers must foot the bills, and we
are willing TO let them have the lions
share at least, of when they want this
improvement to begin. They make
use of the roads for four-fifths of the
service it gives the public and haul
ninety per cent of all loads hauled
thereon. The cost of macadam roads
is approximately $1,000 per mile and
Marshall county is credited with 800
miles of gravel road; now you farm
ers can figure little and then say
when you want to begin. We would
suggest that the Chronicle wiseacre
buy a hundred acres with half mile
of ditch to pay for-and make the
money off Of the farm to pay it with
and talk of macadam roads after

me Too" Platt to the End.

Apparently the laurels of Burton,
Hartman and other injured innocents
who have been telling the people
what bold. bad usurper President
Roosevelt is have excited the jealousy
and ambition of poor, old Senator
Platt. His interview on the subject
of his present and past feelings"
toward Mr.. Roosevelt is certainly
very frank for the once eminent "easy
boss" and apostle of the gospel of
silence and darkness, but, in reality,
it tells us nothing new.
Who has not known all along that
Platt did not like Roosevelt when he
Selected" him for governor in order
to prevent Republican defeat? Who
has not known that as governor
Roosevelt failed to raise himself in
Platt's- esteem by his strenuous advo-
cacy of such measures as the act for
the taxation of franchise values?
And who has not known that it was
in order to get rid of Roosevelt that
Platt worked day and night to force
a vice presidential nomination on
him?
That Platt is "sorry" he made that
mistake every time he thinks of the
matter, or is reminded of it by some
act that makes him and his class
squirm, we are quite prepared to be-
lieve. But the sorrier Platt is the
gladder the people are that he unwit-
tingly rendered them so great a SER
vice. The good that comes out of
evil is often of the unintended and
unconscious kind.
If Platt had made his confessions
two years sooner, he would have
caused something of a sensation per-
haps. Today he is too insignificant
and negligible to attract more than
passing notice-Record Herald.

CHEAP FARE HURTS TRAINS.
Traffic Men Say New Two-Cent Rate
Will Affect Service.

Il shall be astonished if the pas
senger equipment of the whole coun-
try does not get down to something
nearly approaching the wooden seat
effect in passenger trains which we
lind in the countries of Europe. The
Illinois state legislature has left US
passenger traffic manag RS no argu-
ment with which to go before our ex-
ecutive heads when the question of
superior equipment is raised. They
have put Us down and out"
This unpIomising view of the pas
senger business of the country, in
view of the sweeping action of state
legislatures in reducing fares to the
2-cent basis. was expressed by c. ].
Carlton, passenger traffic manager Of
the Chicago and Alton railroad.
Local railway officials who are now
awaiting the action of the Illinois
Legislature without hope had only
pessimistic predictions of future SER
vice conditions to dispense. Most
of them were little disposed to dis
cuss the situation at all, saying that
the public would have to discover for
itself whether such legislation is ju-
dicious."
Mr.. Carlton, however. did not hesi-
tate to predict that an enforced re-
duction of fares will result ultimately
in vastly impaired service and he used
the wooden bench" as a symbol of
lean times in the railroad business.
He said that the Alton had for a year
voluntarily reduced the passenger
rate in the most densely populated
area of its trackage and had doubled
the service as an experiment. This
experiment, he said, had demonstrate
ed to the satisfaction of the officials
that 2-cent rate can not be made to
pay expenses even under favorable
circumstances
ut is obvious" he said, that the
day of experimentation with improv-
ed equipment is over If we could
make no money at cents mile it is
clear that we can make none at
cents. The fight for better passenger
service has always been an uphill
fight for passenger traffic officials. The
men who have money invested in
railroad securities and who are close
to the executive heads have always
looked on the passenger business IS
an expensive form of advertising. We
can not go before our executive heads
now with proposals to improve the
service. Such proposals would be
greeted as ludicrous."
While passenger traffic officials are
reticent about discussing the probable
action of their roads, It is an open
secret that test case is being con-
templated to determine the validity of
restrictive legislation. This action
will probably be directed against
some western state and will be
brought. by one of the interested
roads for ALL
