MANY SOURCES OF SALT.

/ The purity of salt depends upon the

Poor Ores Cost Steel Concerns $780,

Sixty million dollars must be spent
by the steel concerns of the country
in changing their Bessemer plants to
the open-hearth process, owing to the
slump in the quality of the Besse-
mer ores. That Bessemer steel rails
will be advanced seems certain.
The Steel Trust has begun its
change TO open-hearth furnaces by

freight is moved the required mini
muh. In the same state, because
two cent fare bill has passed, the rail
roads have decided to pay no heed to
it, but to litigate as long as they can
and kill the Legislation if possible.
"In West Virginia the railroads
sent an immense lobby to the capitol
to fight a two cent fare bill, and
good deal of scandal developed, but
the measure passed. Now the roads
announce that they will decline to
obey, and instead will fight it in the
courts.
''In general, the threat has been in
dulged by railroad lobbyists and even
by responsible executive officers that
improvements, extensions, the con-
struction of new lines, etc., will be
stopped just as fast>as possible unless
the regulative hand of federal and
state government is removed from the
transportation business"
The above statement of the situa-
tion certainly does not make any ef-
fort to represent the attitude of rail-
way men as benevolent one, or to
indicate that they are at all repent
ant for past abuses. On the other
hand, it defines their attitude as OPEN
ly defiant and in accordance with the
words of a well-known representative
of corporate wealth, "The public be
damned" +" That a newspaper, which
has hitherto carefully refrained from
adopting severe tone when discuss
ing railroad subjects, should so state
the existing situation, is no less en-
couraging than surprising.-'The Au-
gusta (Ga.) Herald.

FLAGLER LOSES $15,OOO,OOO IN
SEA RAILROAD.

After having sunk $15,0O0,000 into
his seagoing railroad across the Flor
ida Keys, with Key West as the ter
minal, Henry M. Flagler has been
obliged to abandon the work which
was the dream of his life.
The millions spent by Mr. Flagler
have seriously crippled him financial
ly.
Mr.. Flagler finds himself in the
same position as Henry M. Rogers, a
brother chief in Standard Oil, with
his Tidewater Railroad in Virginia.
Millions must be advanced if the
work is to go on, and neither can find
the money.
The blow falls harder on the man
who has won the title of "King of
Florida" 4" He has always looked up
on this extension of the Florida East
Coast from Miami to Key West, the
southern tip of the United States, as
the imperishable monument which he
would leave to posterity.
Financial worry over the ever in
creasing cost of the road and the i'm
possibility Of securing the necessary
money was, his friends declare, the
direct cause of the serious physical
breakdown which he suffered last
summer.
Mr.. Flagler caused to be issued
statement that the work had been
abandoned temporarily on account of
the tightness of the money market.

pany had invested $5OO,0OO in Libe-
rian, and soon after two British Off
cials we're appointed to reorganize the
finances and customs service of the
country. Public improvements have
been begun. Motor roads into the
trackless interior are being made, and
it is hoped that the American negroes
will, after a time, take kindly to the
industrial era which it is desired to
inaugurate. There is some jealousy
of white people, it appears. They
are allowed only on the frontiers, and
are not permitted to have houses or
do business in the interior.
The trade done at present is limit
ed. Liberia exports chiefly palm oil,
palm kernals, coffee, rubber and fiber.
The coffee. is said to be of extremely
fine quality. The imports consist Of,
cotton goods, articles of iron and pro-
visions. The rubber exports in 190c
were worth $4,000, and the total
value OF exports sent to England was
1921, 900. This is a small showing
for a republic. but it is expected that
European enterprises, conducted on
reasonable lines, and with q proper
regard for the interests of the ma
tives," will give a fresh impetus to
local effort.
The Times expresses a hope that
the little State which has been for
so many wears in condition of spS-
pended animation will ronse itself in
to more vigorous life, and perhaps af-
ter all justify some of the expecta-
tions of its original founders who
looked to it to demonstrate the capac-
ity of the negro race for self-govern-
ment." So far the experiment has
virtually failed in Liberia, as it has
done in Haiti, and in our Southern
States.-Augusta Herald.

JUSTICE OF RAILWAY AGITA-
TION: HOW THE PEOPLES
CAUSE HAS BEEN VIM
Dictated.

So convincing have been the proofs
with which charges against railroad
officials in this country have been
backed up, and so overwhelming has
been the cumulative evidence piled
up against them, that the fight of
the people against mismanagement
and injustice on the part of rail
way corporations in the United States
has reached that point where there
are practically no longer any persons
who scoff at the efforts of the masses
as unreasonable. What was but re-
Gently called by some papers and
few people railway agitation is
now regarded AS righteous cause.
tha justice of which has been fully
demonstrated. That part Of the press
which was bold enough to enter the
fight at the outset and aid Ill the
demands of the people followed by
practically all independent members
of the press, and the efforts of the
press as whole have been thorough
ly and entirely vindicated.
1t is interesting to note the change
that has come over many reputable
journals which at first hesitated to
take the part of the people iii a fight,
the causes of which were not at first
entirely understood and the final
issue of which was not at all
certain. There have been, of course,
many papers which have not added
their protest at all against railway
discrimination and the hundred 9TH
er forms Of injustice and neglect that
have been practired by the railway
corporations of the county. There
are various reasons for such hesitan-
cy, some being too conservative to
appear in behalf Of popular agita-
ton and others being 50 controlled
by railroad men that it was impos-
sible for them to enter into any fight,
just or unjust, against railroad rrac-
tees. Bat practically all new>pa-

AFRICA's NEGRO REPUBLIC.

Arthur Barclay, the president of Ii
IBERIA, is at present in England, where
he has gone, it is believed, to try to
induce English capitalists to make
further investments in his country.
Liberia, with an area approximately
equal to that of Holland and Belgium
together, is bounded on the north
west by British territory, and on tbe
east ana south by French territory.
It was founded in 1922 as a place
of settlement for emancipated Ameri-
can slaves, under the protection of
the United States. In 1847 it was
recognized by England and France as
an independent republic, and in 1861
by the United States. The constitu-
tion initiates that Of the United
States, providing for a president, SEN
ate, house Of representatives and su-
preme court. The american" Ii
berians, who form the governing class,
number, it is stated, about $4,000.
Behind them, and content to be gov
erned by them, are some 100000
natives, who are still savages. The
president is described by the London
Times as ga full-blooded negro, a
West Indian and a man Of education
and refinement. He was elected in
1904, and is now serving his second
term.

been lifted with too great volume, all
have voiced the sentiments of the
people and have openly admitted the
justice of their cause.
As an instance Of the change in
attitude on the part of those news
papers which have held back until
the last, and until victory for the
people was certain, we note recent
full page article entitled, "The Fight
Is On Between the Railroads and The
Government" so plainly anti-railroad
in it's tone as to create surprise among
those readers who have during recent
months noted the evident reluctance
OF the paper in question to publish
anything that might appear to be
against the wishes of railway men.
In this article we find the following
interesting paragraphs:
Here are some of the things which
have been done by railroads since the
new Interstate Commerce act took
effect last September. Some of them
are in retaliation for that legisla-
ton, some for the reguIative acts
passed by the states, some are appar-
emily without especial motive but sim
ply based on the proposition that the
railroads need the money!:
Freight rates on iron and steel
products have been advanced prac-
tlcally throughout the entire country.
Freight rates on lumber have
been advanced throughout an immense
section of the northwest, IN many
cases, it is alleged, as much as 40 per
cent.
"The special low rates which have
for years been given on manufactures
intended for export are being with
drawn.
GA readjustment of the freight
rates from the big central valleys,
where most of the grain is raised, to
the seaboard has been effected, which
includes increases in most of the ter
ritory east Of the Mississippi.
"a refusal to continue the commod
ity rates on which the strawberry
crop of Tennessee was moved in past
years to points in the north resulted
In immense losses to the raisers and
the waste of considerable part of
this season s CROP"
With regard to two cent fare leg
islation the article directly charges
that the roads are seeking to inconve-
nience the people merely for the sake
of retaliation and not from motives
of an economical or infiancial charac-
ter. It states the situation in this
regard as follows:
"In Iowa, because the State legisla-
ture has passed a maximum rate law
applying within the state and adopted
an official schedule of maximum rates
covering the state railroads have in
creased interstate rates into and-out
