were separated. He then started across the street and was met by the Chief of Police and again assaulted, but the Chief received a broken nose and a somewhat disfgured face for his pains. At this juncture, the Ser geant broke away from those who were holding him, ran to the assist ance of his chief and made second assault upon MT. Adams, Whereupon the latter turned upon him and gave the policeman a good drubbing. A man usually gets in this world about what is coming to him, which was certainly the case with the Helena policemen. They needed a good lick ing and got it in short order. But what the Graphic wants to know is has a policeman a right to assault private citizen for any comment or criticism that the citizen may make in either public or private of the po- lice force? Policemen are appointed to conserve the peace and protect the public. For this they are permitted to bear arms and are granted other special privileges not youchsafed the private citizen. It is their duty to keep the peace, not to break it; to prevent assaults and not to make them; to preserve order and not to make disorder; to enforce the laws and not to violate them. The Helena policemen who assaulted MT. Adams simply because of the exposures of their methods in his newspaper are therefore violators of the law and have betrayed the trust and confi- dence reposed in them by the good people of Helena. If the policemen can assault an editor because of his criticisms they can also assault any other private citizen who may happen to fall under the ban of their dis
 pleasure. It is the duty of the Mayor of Helena, therefore, to promptly dis charge the policemen who have vio-
 lated the law and betrayed the trust
 confided to their keeping, and if the
 Mayor does not do it. then the Hele-
 nians should rise in their majesty and might and see that it is done. They
 should not permit the fair name oi their city to be tarnished, and it's civ
 ilization and laws disgraced by tn,
 acts of few ruffians who may hap
 pen to be on the police force. Helena owes it to herself to redeem her law:
 and fire the police who are guilty o
 the outrage.

therance of closer and more friendly
 relations between the United States
 and Japan. The new society may
 serve useful purpose by combating
 that school of agitators which is per- sistently perdicting an inevitable con-
 tlict between this country and Japan over some Oriental question or other,
 and by endeavoring to counteract the false impressions and preJudlces which that agitation is bound to pro duce. As MT. Root showed in one of his recent addresses, the people are the real war-makers nowadays, and t therefore becomes of the utmost inn portance that the popular mind be not
 continually inflamed by teachings that this, that, or the other country is pre-
 pairing to fight us in the not far dis tant future.
 With respect to Japan, the declara- tions of her responsible ministers, as we'll as the course of her diplomacy, as revealed by the pending negotia- tions for treaties with Russia and France, prove that her ambitions are not at all in the direction of wars ot conquest The treaties to, which we refer are, in effect, :enunciations Of ! purpose to acquire further territory in

It should also be kept in mind that the freight service is far bigger proposition than the passenger service. Where the public pays one dollar for rid ing it pays many dollars for freight charges.

FREIGHT RATES THE BIG
 THING.

Noting that dissensions among the individual members of the Georgia railroad commission ap- pear to have resulted in a post ponement of action looking to re- duction of passenger fares op Georgia railroads The Atlanta Journal submits some well-put re- marks concerning the relative inn portance of the passenger and freight rate questions We are glad to see," says The Journal, ''that there is a probability that the people are to get a concession in the matter of passenger fares, but this seems an opportune occasion for repeating what we have fre- quently said that no reduction in passenger fares-whether the con- cession be small or large-should cause us to lose sight of the main issue,. which is a substantial reduc- tion in freight rates. The number of people who travel, and who con- sequently would be benefited by this reduction in passenger rates, is small in comparison with the num- Der of people who will benefited by this reduction in freight rates. Every man, woman and child in the state is a consumer and a vast majority of them are purchasers. It is the purchaser who in the last analysis must pay the freight and hence must bear the burden of excessive freight charges. They far outnumber those who would be benefited by any reduction in passenger rates, however con- siderable, and it is this point which we must keep constantly in mind
 This regulation of passenger rates is like stopping to kill rats while the barn burns.'' All of which and much more, is entirely true 1 Passenger rates never made one

 We prefer, then, to believe that the peace of the Orient will not be dis turbed by Japanese aggressiveness for many years, if ever. War in that re- zion, if it come eventually, will in
