Governor Hughes of New York by
vetoing the recently passed two-cent
fare law. calls halt on the mania for
forDibly regulating the railroads. He
shows that the law was passed hastily.
without investigation of facts in the
case and without understa nding of
prevailing conditions. While a two
cent fare law may be all right in a
densely settled section, it would mani
testify be unjust on line running for
many miles through mountains and
deserts. The Governor takes the sen-
sible position that it is the duty of the
State Railroad Commission to look up
the prevailing conditions on all the
roads and report to the Legislature, so
that body can act intelligently. What
is needed are laws to abolish unjust
discrimination between communities
and individuals.

with the foreigners, also deprive us of
the right to engage cheap ships in the
protected coastwise carrying trade.
There was no question about the exis-
tence of an antiquated emergency in
this case, but the antiquated naviga-
tion laws make no provision for emer-
gencies. The coal shortage on the
Pacific Coast has forced Mr.. Hartman
to purchase many thousand tons of
Australian coal, which will be brought
to the Pacific Coast in foreign ships.
On that coal the foreigner not only
gets the freight money, but the cost of
the coal. Now that the "bars are
down." the money for the coal will
remain in this country. An emergency
unquestionably exists. If the Govern
ment had Iailed to violate its own
laws and ship coal to the Pacific Coast,
it would have been obliged on arrival
Lere to sieze the scanty stocks of coal
now available on the Coast, and thus
bring shipping to standstill.
Even with the relief that is afforded
by charter of few ships for the Gov
eminent there is still great necessity
for importation of all of the coal that
can be brought in from the Atlantic
seaboard. The letting down of the
bars will not only afford relief to every
coal consumer on the Pacific Coast,
but it will bring in plenty of much
needed cheap tonnage with which to
move our record breaking grain crop,
as all of the vessels coming here will
be available for outward cargoes: A
few more practical illustrations of the
manner in which existing navigation
laws hamper the development of our
merchant marine may have the effect
of bringing about long overdue reform.
There would be no necessity for
shipping either Government coal or
Hartman coal in foreign ships if we
would adopt the simple business meth
ods of other countries and welcome
these ships under the American flag.
The most severe blow yet dealt the
theorists who are seeking hothouse-
grown, subsidized merchant marine is
this transaction of the Government,
for the demonstration that we can
secure ships without subsidy is per-
feet. All that remains is to repeal
our ancient laws and give these ships
American registry.

LETTING DOWN THE BARS.

Mr.. Hartman has announced his
intention of following the example set
by the Government in shipping coal
from the Atlantic to the Pacific Coast.
"iThe bars are down." said Mr.. Harri-
man, "and am going to ship coal to
the Pacific Coast in foreign vessels. !"
Lawbreaking is never commendable
proceeding, but when the Government
takes the initiative and breaks law,
as was quite plainly the case when it
chartered British steamers to bring
coal to the Pacific Coast. it is hardly
clear how it can proceed against Mr..
Hartman, who follows suit. The sit
uatjon is most interesting, and is
fraught with possibilities of solution
of the merchant marine problem. The
primary cause for charter by the Gov
ernment of foreign steamers was the
prospective increase in the naval fleet
on the Pacific Coast. Coal was needed
to Ieplenish stocks at Pacific Coast
ports, and the scarcity of the fuel on
this Coast made it imperative that
supplies be sent from other quarters.
But, owing to our venerable naviga-
tion laws, which prevent Americans
from buying ships where they can be
bought the cheapest, there was no
American tonnage available for bring
ing the coal around the Horn. The
same ancient laws, while preventing
us from owning tonnage on even terms

In six months more the colonistrates
to Oregon will be in effect again, con-
tinuing for sixty days. In order to
get the full benefit of them, every
commercial organization should get
busy with their correspondence with
prospective settlers. During this va
cation period the boys and girls have
the time to write their friends "baok
East" and tell them about the Oregon
country. As an illustration of what
can be accomplished Ey this means,
the school children of single district
in one of our coast counties doubled
the population of that district merely
through correspondence, necessitating
the construction of an additional
school building.

osLER SAYS SOUP MUST GO.

DIR. William Osler, who has an
opinion concerning ohloroform and
men who are 80 years old, is bitterly
opposed to the drinking of soup, ao-
cording to the statements of a New
York merchant.
my wife was wreck from nervous
dyspepsia. said the merchant. "Sev
eral prominent physicians in New York
had treated her without success, and
finally I was advised to take her to
Baltimore to see DR.. Osler. He in-
quired carefully about her habits, and
particularly her diet. We described
it without going into details. but this
did not satisfy the great physician.
" Tell me what you have for din
ner, describing the nature of the
courses, their number, and so on, he
insisted.
- Well, usually we start with some
good, nourishing SOUP began.
!" Stop right there, interrupted DR..
Osler. Soup must go. There Is a
popular fallacy that soup is nourish-
ing. That is mistake. 1t is one of
the most harmful things one can eat.
1t is worse than lobster. OF course,
there are times when a simple beef or
mutton broth is not to be condemned.
But as a rule soup is positively dan
gerous 1t dilutes the gastric juices and
it ferments too rapidly to permit it to
be easily digested. It is the greatest
cause of dyspepsia and nervous disor-
ders. Vegetable soup should be thrown
into the garbage pail, where it to.
longs, instead of being poured into a
delicate stomach. Half the nervous
wrecks among society folk who live
we'll are caused by eating soup.
''Dr. Osler gave some other advice,
which was followed by my wife in
addition to giving up soup. Soup is
never served at our table. and has not
been for four years. My wife is we'll
and strong today. aud she can eat any
thing on the menu except soup. !"

II is such fellows as Hartman who
bring discrcdit upon the railroad bust
ness and cause the irritable feeling
among the people that leads to hostile
legislation. Railroads should be own
ed and controlled only by men trained
in the business and conducted on legi-
innate lines as common carriers, and
not by spectators who are making for
tunes by kiting their securities. Bank
ers and brokers have no business with
railroads and should not be allowed to
control them.

There is one Orchard which all will
admit should be cultivated. This is

Boise, Idaho, that for fifteen years he
has been a professional murderer,
drawing a regular salary for killing
people. He confesses to eighteen as

ernor SteunenE Eerg, all of the most
brutal character. 1t would be diff
cult to parallel this record of horrors
in all the annals of history.

Five Hundred Thousand Retail
Merchants of the West Will
Cope With Giant Establish

A STRIKING ECONOMIC
MOVEMENT INAUGURATED
The Struggle Is to Be a Life

And Manufacturers Are Al
so Involved in the Fight.

Richmond and Wayne county mer-
chants, who have long suffered from
the evils of the mail order house
may have relief in sight. Chicago
dispstch says:
War has been declared on the great
catalogue houses of Chicago and 9th
er cities by the 100000 retail mer-
chants of the west. In one of the
most striking economic movements
this country ever has known, the
small dealers are fighting as they say,
for their lives.
The mammoth institutions, employ
ing thousands of workers, doing their
business entirely through the medium
of their bulky catalogues, spending
no money in the communities whence
they derive annually millions of dol
lars of patronage are forcing increas-
ing numbers of home merchants to
the wall and, so their opponents claim
are making commercial graveyards
of once prosperous towns.
In this life or death struggle, job
bers and manufacturers also are in
volved with the retail merchants.
Organized Attack to be Made.
An organized attack on the cata-
logue institutions is to be made by
the Home Trade League of America
which has existed for several months
in the Monadnock building, largely as
a publicity bureau, but which is short
ly to incorporate and institute mere
systematic and aggressive campaign
against the catalogue houses through
board of twenty-one managers, with
a vice president and an advisory COM
mittee of ten members from each
state.
The backbone of the league is form
ed of commercial associations, nation
al, state and local in character, in
Illinois, Wisconsin. Iowa. Michigan,
Kansas and Minnesota. The officers
of associations in scores of cities are
in constant correspondence with the
league, which will continue to have
its national headquarters in this city.
Officers of the league will be selected
from the most aggressive of the lea
ders of these associations of business
men.

Nothing against Wrinkles character
