Higher Freight Rates.

The prediction is made in railroad
circles that inside of a year there
will be a general advance Of freight
rates in this country. 1t is not an
ticipated that this advance will occur
at once. or that a sweeping change
Of schedules will be inaugurated by
all roads simultaneously. The leading
railroad men insist it is almost a ne
cessity for them to increaee their reve-
nues in some manner, and as passenger
rates are now regulated by law in most
of the states, the only thing which
the companies have left to sell at a
price fixed by themselves is freight
rates. And claiming it is plain choice
between an increase Of freight rates
or reduction Of wages of employers,
the men at the head of these big trans
portation companies declare that
freight rates must go up to correspond
with increased prices in nearly every
other direction.
OF course there is something plaus-
ible in an argument of that kind, for
a railroad, the same as any other bust
ness, is entitled to fair returns on the
money actually invested, together
with reasonable profits. The promised
effort to bring about a general in
crease of freight rates, however, is
certain TO arouse a good deal Of criti-
cism and opposition, and will help to
revive the question Of physical vaIu-
alton of the roads for the purpose of
arriving at a true basis of reasonable
charges to the public.

unstnmped Counterfeits.

Chicago Tribune.
Officers Of national banks are requir-
ed by law to write or stamp counter
felt altered or worthless, on
fraudulent notes presented at their
places Of business. State banks are not
required to do this, but they ought to
from a sense Of duty to the public. Yet
one of the men in the federal secret
service complains that officers of GER
tain national and state banks have
handed back counterfeit notes to de-
depositors unstamped, with information
that they were counterfeit They have
left it TO the depositor to notify the
secret service agents that a counterfeit
was anoat or to pass off bad money on
a customer.
There are some men who win do that
without any twinges of conscience. The
protection of the public against these
men without scruples is one reason for
branding every counterfeit note or coin
the moment it's dishonesty has been de
tected. A receiving teller may dislike to
wound the feelings Of depositor by
stamping counterfeit" on a note he
has handed in, but it is his legal or NOR
al duty to do so, even though he may be
sure that the depositor is an honest man
who win not try to work off the note on
somebody else.
Bank officers handle so much money
that they are experts in the detection
of fraudulent coin or money The gov
eminent and the public are entitled to
the full benefit of that expert know
ledge Receiving tellers who have
been handing back to depositors
counterfeit notes nstamped should be
disciplined by their superiors.

New YORK journal Of Commerce, a
conservative paper, is moved to say;
Politicians who assume that the pop
ular interest in the improvement of
business and administrative conditions
is dead, merely because the public has
not been willing to fly 10 evils that it
knew not of at the presidential election,
will commit serious blunder. There
is as strong an interest IN sound cur
rency legislation. real tariff revision and
proper corporate control as there ever
was. Congress can not reject this fact
without placing itself in opposition to a
current of popular thought which is very
much deeper and more permanent than
any passing political contest If the
conservatism Of which so much is now
said be allowed to become reaetionary,
the result will be most injurious. Public
opinion will almost inevitably veer to
the opposing extreme and ultra-radical
movements now for the movements I'M
der control will rise up with renewed
strength, This is a situation which
should receive the earnest thought of
the new administration and Of the con
gressional leaders as we'll.

Delays Of the Criminal Law.

Attorney General Bonapart, presi-
dent Of tie National Municipal league,
in an address before that body at Pitts
burg said that American criminal law
had many serious defects. In his opin-
ion the gravest and least eNcusable
deficiency in our criminal law is found
in its endless delays, and he added
that If the people should demand
prompt and unQuestioning obedience
to the peoples laws, and shall give
this demand an ample sanction in swift
sure and grieyous retribution for all
rebellious to those laws, the peoples
rule win be real,

Shall wi.eon.in Pension It. Teaeher.7


A bill providing pensions for teach
ers who have taught in the schools
of the state a certain number of years
viii doubtless be introduced at the
next session of the state legislature.
The main argument in favor Of such
measure is to keep teachers in the
work long enough for the schools to
get the advantage Of their experience
and maturity and to increase the num-
her of men teachers. Only a modest
annuity will be asked for and that only
after twenty-five or thirty years Of
service.
The Tribune fails to readily fall in
with this idea. Is there not likeH-
hood of its establishing a troublesome
precedent Even the editors Of the
state might get the pension fever, as
it is said there's an end to everything
even pride and independence.
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1908-11-26


This he answered by declaring that
it is partly because the bench and
professional opinion among the bar
tolerates all kinds Of dilatory, frivol-
GUS, and often ridiculous proceedings
on the part of INSCRIPTIONS counsel,
intended to cheat justice Of her plain
due; partly because our lawmakers
afford infinite facilities for review of
judicial action TO the criminal, although
being stingy in allowing them to the
government; but mainly because our
laws show little sense Of the value to
society of a speedy administration of
justice"
Mr.. Bonaparte said that the question
''ShaIl the people rule?" is pertinent
and Of moment, because it implies a
doubt whether our form of government,
our institutions, and our laws are such
that the peoples will is, in last resort,
the de, i've factor in all public prob
lens. He stated that in dealing with
the question it must be remembered
that when a sovereign is made up Of
an immense number of individuals,
''the mere ascertainment and express
sion Of that sovereign's will is neces-
sarily cumbrous and intricate pro-
cess. He declared further that
lever since the days of The three
tailors of Tooley street, there has
been much dispute as to what is or who
are 1.-THE people"
'The legitimate problems of the crimi-
nal law, +" he said, "are two: First, to
find out when and by whom the peoples
will has been disobeyed, and, second, TO
so deal with the one guilty of such dis
obedience that others, and ordinarily
himself as well, may be taught to obey
in future.
GAS an instrument TO these ends, "
he said, 81 think American criminal
law today in large measure fails of its
purpose. "
Mr.. Bonaparte made the assertion
that "of all the pecuGarities of our
modern criminal law which are helpful
to undesirable citizens and harmful
to the public, in his opinion its gravest
and least excusabe deficiency is found
in its endless delays.
1--WE have small judicial districts, +"
he said, intermittent sessions of our
criminal courts, judges sometimes
overworked, sometimes indoent, pros
ecutors sometimes overburdened by
their burdens, sometimes politicians
rather than lawyers. All this makes
for delay, and all that makes for delay
makes against the efficiency of the
criminal law.
when the people of an American
state or the American nation decree
death to whomsoever shall do thus and
thus, and let the transgressor live for
months and years while lawyers wran-
gle, and juries disagree, and judges
reverse each other, there is room for
doubt, and doubt in fact whether the
state or nation does in truth mean
business, The sovereign Furnishes with
triple certainty who Furnishes while the
crime is rank and recent.

to farmers having produce to be hauled
