The evidence in the recent nvestga before the
interstate commerce commission in San Francisco shows
two things:
First indirectly that the Southern Pacific gave re-
bates within the state equivalent for rebates in
tersate shipments This to avoid jurisdiction of the In
terstate commission and the federal courts
Secondly that, feeling safe in avoiding conflict with
federal authorities the Southern Pacific has boldly and
habtuay Disseminated to rates within the state in
favor of the big corporations and consequently against
the small shippers.
Pass the first proposition It is up the big stick"
The second proposition means that the people of the
state have permitted themselves to be dominated and rob
bed, and it is pretty fair axiom that where the people
of state permit this there is justice in whin
ing the non-nterference of federal authorities.
There state rights, and there state RESPONSE
bities.
What does it mean when it is proved that, within the
state of California the Southern Pacific dscrmnates in
in favor of the rich against the poor shipper?
1t means that Hartman controls California.
1t means that the day is past when the young man OF
integrity and energy can build up a business.
1t that the only hope of salvation of the small
shippers lies in forming combine and taking the ad-
vantage which the big shippers have them out of
the And this is the principal why
pay higher for butter, eggs COAL lumber, hay, etc.
Discrimination against the ordinary shipper means
that Hartman controls not only the business but the
morals of the state for his cnch control of deve
Opment of the individual.
California has laws enough to blast this far reaching
discrimination But its attorneys its Judges its railroad

A community which has been con-

where 1t kept Its money balances al
ways considers its case one Of unpar-
alleled misfortune, says the New York
Post. Yet there have been "panics,"
even in recent times, when circum-
stances were more heart-breaking even
than that Of depositors in the Knicker-
booker and of the dozen other smaller
banks which went down with 1t. The
case Of 1857, almost forgotten, was one
in which not only bank deposits, but
the money in the pocket of every indi-
vidual, turned out useless for private
wants The mood Of the man who
learned Of the closing Of a string Of
note-issuing banks under the older sys-

New York Police Have Given Up Try

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-Though it has
been in force less than two months the
new affinity law, which was put on the
statute books to stop the sOul-sister hab-
it and bring about social reforms and de-
crease divorces, has already become a
dead letter. Fewer than twenty arrests
in all have been made in the greater city
during the time the lew law has been in
effect. In New York city the police, who
at the outset were active, haey now ceased
almost entirely to make arrests. The
special sessions judges have laid down
the rule that II IS necessary to have alb
Solutc, not Circumstantlnl, evidence TO
bring about Il conviction under the new
law. AS this was further than the
supreme court in this city had ever gone
in laying down the law in divorce eases

FASTEST CUNARD
LINER IN A FOG.
ic Record on First Trip-Makes
GA Knots Day.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-Another OBJ
stacle in the shape of dense fog, Is de-
laying the new CuHard liner Mauretania,
thus further marring what was confident
ly expected to be a most successful maid
en- voyage.
Soon after leaving Queenstown last
Sunday morning the big steamer ran into
severe storm, which lasted the better
part of three days. Terrific head-Scas
and high gale retarded the splendid
speed of the vessel and by the time the
conditions changed it was known by
means of wireless telegraphy.
No Chance for Speed
The westward record of her sister
ship, the Lucania, could not be eclipsed
on this trip. However, the steamer was
put to the top speed and some balm was
offered To those on board when the
steamers run for the fourth day showed
o2I knots. thus topping the Lusitania,
which took the blue ribbon for the best
days run on the last voyage, by six
knots.
1t was believed then that the Maure-
tanla would reach Sandy Hook by day
break Friday, but this hope was shat
tered when the Mauretania ran into
dense fog off the New Eugla ii coast
late last night, and speed necessarily
had to be materially reduced.
Fog Spells RECORD.
If the Mauretunia actually reached the
lightShip at $3.50 o'clock, as estimated,
her time for the voyage would be D days
) hours and 80 minutes. This is about
8 hours slower than the Lusitania's
best record of days Is hours and 20
minutes.
The new Mauretania was off Sandy
Hook at 800 u. III. today and was in
M mi PD ,rith
by wireless. \ message received from
the Mauretania states that the ship
might not reach her dock today. High
tide Is necessary to make it absolutely
safe to bring the big ship up the bay.
y brief wireless dispatch was re
ccived here early today via the Marconi
station at South Wclllcet, Mass. 1t
told of the enthusiastic concert which
was held aboard last night at which
Sir Clifton Robinson presided, and ud-
dresses were made by Messrs. G.. Il.
Hunter, S. S. Mcclure and Frank
Doubleday. while Dennis O'Sullivuu,
the baritone sang Kipling songs and
Irish ballads.

Moving of ferry boats and other har-
