offices of the company.
From Portland to Waitsburg, in
,crding PGndletnn and the Walla
'Walla branch of the system. distance
of over 800 miles, sweeping reduc-
tions are made IN freight rates for
points having river competition.
The effect of the portage road rs
thus made manifest in a most em-
hphatic manner. The reductions are
due wholly to the operation of steam
ers or the upper Columbia and Snake
rivers, as points not having river
competition are not affected in this
new schedule.
Between Portland and Cello the re-
ductions. while considerable. are not
so pronounced as to points above
since the rates had already been re-
duced by steamer competition to The
Dalles. The difference in the rate he
tween Portland and Cello will be so

on secCnd-class CO cents on third

moNTGomERY,s. FAIR.

The Montgomery State Fair Is an an- nual institution in which the city of Montgomery may well feel pride. The success of the institution last year reflected credit on the. entire city. The coming Fair promises to be as merito- rious as that of last year, which set 8 new, standard for agricultural exhiRi- tions in Alabama.
 The patriotic Montgomeriani will speak good word for the Fair when- eyer the opportunity offers. for the sx- hibition of last year gave the city a wide advertisement. The Fair was rich in tangible results. Its asr.ca..=- ral and live stock exhibits gave every visitor new realization of the agri- cultural possibilities of Alabama.
 Thousands of Alabama farmers were astonished at that exhibition of home- grown stock. They had not suspected that stock raising in Alabama had at- tained so high . standard.
 Tn every feature which makes fair attractive. the Montgomery exhibition will again appeal to the approval of its thousands of visitors.

MIR. BROWNS PAPER.

The American Lawyer, a high-class periodical foF the legal profession, pub fishes in it's last issue an able and thoughtful paper on "The Province of the Law" by MT. Armstead Brown of Montgomery. MT. Browns text in his own words is "The function of the law-how far the State may go in reg ulating or limiting the sphere of indi- vidual liberty or freedom of action"
 Mr. Brown takes the position that the problem is capable of solution by evolution rather than by revolution. He deprecates, as do all thoughtful men. reforms or attempted reforms by radicalism, or by leaps and bounds. He discusses intelligent1y the antipodal forces. that of individuansm and that of socialism. The first impetus given to individual rights was the signing of the Magnat tCharta by King John.
 As to present conditions of American Ifei in the contest between socialism and individualism MT. Brown quotes Approvingly President Eliot of liar yard. who said:
 "The new ideal of American life Is the idea of amity for the common good, individualism with cO1lectivism. each to perfect the other"
 As the most important phase of the que@ion MT. Brown discusses at length the tendency of courts and law-mak CTS "to clip the wings of individualism." A large part of the paper is devoted to the discussion of the decisions which show the trend of the courts to limit the powers and opportunities of the in- dividuaI.
 The paper should commend itself to the consideration of the growing class of Americans who are giving thought to economical questions.

BErrEa WATCH HIM.


 Some Taft boomers are growing So nervous and worried over the talk of Roosevelt for third term that they are going to get the Presidentsup in a corner somewhere, when he energes from the canebrakes of the South. and circumstances conceivable to the mind of man would he consent to four years more of life in the White House.
 Now what's the use Of that1
 heavyweight are barking up the wrong tree. There isn't any game for them in the iteration and reiteration of the phrase T am not Q candidate"
 whether or not Roosevelt will again be a candidate does not at all depend on anything he has said, or any pledge he has made in the past. Times and conditions change and men change with them. and especially is this true in American politics and politicians. It is not necessary to charge that MT. Roosevelt was insincere when he de- clared Immediately after his election that he would not again be a candidate under any circumstances. We have heard that many times and from many men. And whispering. will ne'er consent, -consehted," says Byron. and the remark holds good yet.
 We have always been at loss to understand why any we'll posted man should put such implicit confidence in the words of Roosevelt One must be careless or else dull of understanding not to have noticed that change of front is one of his greatest failings. Whether 1t is because he speaks alto- gether from impulse. without weighing his words, or whether 1t is natural in- consistency and inconsistency matters little. The fact remains. as all should have observed. that he frequently changes front. taking an apparently immovabie position at one time and re- versing it at another. and this he does in personal, governmental and poiitica: afrairs, and without any apparent thought or care for consequences. As a lightning change artist he is shin- Ing success
 It is not surprising to find that the packers of the Ohio heavyweight are worried. If Taft really has his heart set on the presidential nomination he and his friends have plenty of cause for perturbation. The phrase, VT am not 8 candidate" has but little mean ing these days. If Roosevelt has de- signs on the presidency as is daily be- coming more probable, he can find reasons plenty as biackberries" for accepting the nomination. and neither Taft nor any other will deter him If the big Ohio. man wants to be President he will have Roosevelt to reckon with.

vilie and Nashville to below par. But that Is not all.
 The latest quotation shows that the stock of the I,ouisvilie and Nashville is selling for 50 cents on the dollar less than 1t has sold for within the last year. The loss on the stock of the road has been enormous. That loss amounts to sso.ooo.ooo on sso,ooo ,ooo worth of stock
 And that is what Alabama is doing for the Louisvilie and Nashville. Tn all fairness. the Governor to the con-. trafy notwithstanding, Alabama owes the Louisville and Nashville better return.
 The Southern Railroad Is no better of. It Is meeting with serious difi- culty in borrowing money. Extensions and improvements have stopped. shops are being closed. men are being laid or. And it's stock has been depreciat- ing in value. A destroyed credit is a receivers stepping stone.
 No fair-mindcd Aiabamian wants the war carried on until the roads. which were prosperous q year ago, shall be forced into receivers hands.

PART ioF THE HARVEST.
The New York Sun of Friday sax

The New York Sun of Friday says:
 For the first time in four years Louisville and Nashville sold under par. Vhe fact spoke of liquidation, but it told more loudly of the effect of the anti-corporation policies of some of the Southern States that if carried to their ultimate conclusion will totally destroy the investment value of the stocks of companies operating in that section of the country. The road is- weeks ago, and from many points of view the showing was about the best made by any railroad for the year ended June 30 last. At the same time however, the President of the company was obliged to complain in no uncer- tain terms of the treatment which the State of Alabama is according to cor porations operating within her bor- ders. What this treatment means from the standpoint of the stockholders of cline, and the fact becomes clear that while the attacks of politicians are aimed at the companies they fall upon those who have the misfortune to have their savings invested in stocks.
 In this paragraph there is portrayed the worst effect of the reckless war fare on the developing agencies of Alabama. When all has been said and done, the fact remains that the Louis vile and Nashville Railroad has been the greatest single factor in the de- velopment of Alabama. To develop the mineral district of Alabama, the Louisville and Nashville granted the lowest known rate on raw material. The advertising matter for the Bir- mingham district bears this statement. Lower freight rates than the Pitts burg district"
 The Birmingham district has never failed to acknowledge it's indebtedness to the generous policy of the Louis vile and Nashville. And what is true of the mineral portion of Alabama is true of the other sections of the State, the resources of which are more va ried. which are pierced by the Louis vile and Nashville.
 The State administrations needless rage at all corporations has had the ef- feet of forcing the stock of the Louis-y

 Chemist.
 Girard. Oct, 17.-tspecial. )--Some- what of stir has been caused among patrons of the Girard public seioofs py the announcement that the water in the we'll at the Central school building Is unfit fer drinking purposes
 An analysis of the water has just been made by a chemist at Auburn, to whom specimen was sent, and he pro- nounces it unfit for drinking.
 Girard Is preparing to erect 8 hand some $10,0O0 school building and a committee from the city council is now Investigating with the idea of se- lecting the best site for the structure. A fight will be made on the present location of the central school, and the well water feature is being emphasized by those who wish some other location chosen.
 The present school building is near a cemetery, and there has always ex- isted more or less prejudice against the lot on that account, 1t being contended that the well water there might not be good and wholesome.
