THE PRESS AND PASSES.

A writer in a recent issue of
the Dallas News takes the
ground that the newspapers in
opposing the provision of the an
ti-pass law that prohibits the
contract between the newspaper
and the railroad for exchange of
values in advertising space and
transportation is technically cor
rect, but morally indefensible,
because the newspapers enjoy a
privilege under such contracts
that they are not warranted in
possessing, since they receive a
more liberal treatment at the
hands of the railroads than they
would on the basis of cash con-
tracts.
What the attitude of the rail
roads will be in regard to the
cash contract and the newspa-
per we have no authority to say.
Anls may be put down as fact,
however, and the actions of
some of the railroads this year
already show it. The cash con-
tract works hardship on the
country press in that it does not
get fair proportion of such adj
yertising as it deserves on ac-
count of it's actual service to the
railroads and the country. The
dailies will be taken care of, of
course, for their columns are es-
sential to the daily business of
the roads. The results are di-
rect. With the country press
the real force in the state, the
results are not so evident.
The railroads will find, too,
that strict commercial cash ba-
sis for service rendered will
make not easier, but more diff
cult and expensive the service
they need. A time table or spe-
cial excursion rates, while con-
corning good yproportion of
the public, is of no more vital
concern than is the price of gro
ceries or the special sale of
pants or dress goods. Nor is
there any more reason why space
should be given the former with
out due cash remuneration than
the latter, though we have met
a railroad man or two who
thinks that such things as time
tables and excursion rates
should be published as news Of
general interest. Certainly. Let
the newspaper publish the spe-
cial prices of the department
store as news of general interest.
But government does not have
to do with theories and princi-
pies entirely, but with facts and
conditions. This Edmund Burke
pointed out long ago and Presi-
dent Roosevelt emphasized not
long ago in speaking of the rail-
roads and the people. Legisla-
ton that does not take this into
consideration is not only unjusti-
fable and of little effect, but also
ubiquitous. A law enacted that
hampers the development of the
state by Gripping the immigra-
ton departments of the railroads
and by working an unwarranted
hardship upon the great body of
the press of the state is not only
technically wrong, as admitted,
but morally wrong in that it
goes counter to this great prin-
ciple of all government. Let us
admit that the press is favored
class in the matter of contracts,
as this writer insists, at the same
time it is equally clear that the
best interests of the railroads
and the press and the people are

MEMORIES.
When the gray twilight softly spreads
Her robe er earth and sky; \
When the far mountains shaggy heads
Are lost TO human eye;
When the tired bird at eve has sought
Sleep in that tuneless bower;
When the last bee wings homeward fraught
With honey from the flower;
When the dark pinewood dlmly shows
Its deepening tints of green;
When in the west, with crimson gloWs,
The sunsets closing scene
1 watch the glimmering shadows kiss
The threshold of the night
And DER my heart soothing bliss
Falls in the waning light;
And grosser thoughts, that stern cling
To LIES dull. sober day.
Leave me. as swallows on the wing
Fit from our sight away;
And. soft as ripple on the lake,
Within my bosom rise
Halfwhispered yearnings that awake
A thousand memories
Sweet memories that only come
To WOO, my waking dreams.
When twilight shrouds the woodlands dumb
And SAUNDERS on the streams
Of faces that loved Of yore
And songs the loved ones sang,
And the voices heard no more
That through the greenwood rang.
o spirit treasures, We are mine,
And to my heart belong;
Yet finger not till repine,
Or sing sadder song.
But leave me while still have power
To clutch the sunny glow
Waited from memory's bower
The shrine of long ago.

with the brigands and cast government
palaver to the winds.
The prominence Of the two women in
this instance attracted unusual attention,
but there were dozens Of other cases that
were scarcely known beyond the border
Of the country. NJ. Chevalier was ransomed
for $4,000 in 1899 and previously the friends
of Colonel SINCE had to pay $4,000 to get
him out Of the hands of the brigands. and
Henry Suffers ransom was fixed by the
same band at $4,000.

railroad that runs through Bulgaria to
Constantinople was carried by bTigands
into the mountains several years ago. The
Austrian government endeavored to force
Prince Ferdinand to secure his release, but,
as in the case Of Miss Stone, the Bulgarian
government made no effort to catch the
brigands or to release their prisoner. Aus
tria finally paid the ransom and Bulgaria
had to refund the money and also pay an
indemnity.
Bulgaria is ofen spoken of as the peasant
nation. One of the well known writer's of
the country said that the Bulgar reminded
him of the medieval Jew, against whom
all hands were raised. THE Turk has
traficked outrageously upon his mildness,
the Greek laughs at his righteousness and
calls him a simpleton, the Servian calls him
a coward and even the destitute Rou-
manian, aping the manner Of the French
fled aristocracy. shakes upon him the dust
of his boots"
To these simple peasant people the courtly
etiquette and formality with which their
ruler, Prince Ferdinand, surrounds himself
is distasteful and one OF the chief reasons
of the unpopularity OF his reign. They
came very near to repudiating the bills,
amounting to thousands of dollars, incurred
by his elaborate marriage festivities. Then
followed the building of a palace and still
more recently a 100000 Parliament build

says: There would be a star shower moro

weights did not exceed few ounces or

Prof Charles A. Young Of Princeton
writes: 1t has been supposed that comets

The practice of economy is one Of the
chief virtues of the Bulgarians. They are

their soil has been highly productive in
recent years, many Of the peasant farmers
are growing prosperous. After their exc
