The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1908-04-03

Success in life does not always
mean wealth, fame or position.
You may be poor in all of these
but you can be rich in mind and
character. The world within
you must be developed before you
can enjoy the world without you.
If you hive wealth put some of it
into brain power and you can
never lose it. If you are poor
you cannot afford TO be poor in
both mind and pocket. You can
have all of the wealth of a
trained mind and a noble charac.
ter. Rely upon your own efforts.
Thousands of worthy persons have
obtained an education without
the assistance of wealth or
friends. You can do it. Sue
cess often depends upon the sac
riices made aud the obstacles
overcome. To succeed in any
thing requires hard, henest work.
Determine to do the best that
you can with the faculties that
God has given you.

Accusation Aaainst lnsneotor.

Oil Inspector Allen is in receipt of
letter from Albert Guy, Lebanon,
accusing the oil inspector of collision
with the Standard Oil company. Some
time ago Guy received five barrels of
Kansas oil He cannot sell this oil
until it is inspected unless he wishes
to lay himself open to $500 fine. He
asked immediate inspection. The
nearest deputy is w. II. Wheeler of
Fairfield. Had Oil Inspector Allen
ordered his deputy to make special
trip to Lebanon to inspect Guys oil it
would have cost the state SIT to Sc
cure a fee of so cents. The officials
explanation of this situation led Guy
to a hot retort. He tells the inspector
not to "try any old Standard Oil deal
on him or he will run in the real
thing"

Iowa and Nebraska Compared.

Rate Clerk Powell of the state rail-
way commission has just completed
a study of express rates in Iowa since
the recent 20 per cent reduction made
In the rates by the state commission
OF Iowa. Various newspapers have
been lambasting the Nebraska COM
mission because it had not kept up
with the Iowa commission on the ex-
press rate matter, and this led to an
investigation of the order of that COM
mission. The investigation of the eff
Nebraska commission, shows that
Iowa shippers have not been given a
20 per cent reduction, notwithstand-
ing the claims Of the Iowa commits
sion. On packages weighing less than
100 pounds the average reduction is
less than per cent, while even on
the 100 pound packages the reduction
i5 not 20 per cent. A number of Iowa
newspapers have reached the Ne
braska commission, and these contain
articles setting out that Iowa is for
tunate in that the express companies
accepted the reduction without taking
the matter into the courts. Accord
ing to the Nebraska commission the
express companies offered to make a
Is per cent reduction in Nebraska
provided that reduction took the
place of the Sibley % per cent reduc-
ton law. The commission investi-
gated the matter and found it was
not as represented 1t is the opinion
OF the Nebraska commission that the
Iowa commission has been taken in
by the smooth talk of the express
agents.

The State Capital
Matters OF General Interest
- FROM
Nebraska's Seat Of Government
Revlelna Ereiaht cIasslfleatIons.

Beginning with the first of the year
the state railway commission intends
to get down to serious business and
revise freight rates by classification.
Theoretically every one of the hear
ings which have been heard on an
increase or decrease of rates on a
commodity. it has been the conten-
ton of the railroads that it is inn
possible to tell the cost of shipping
any one commodity and therefore
unjust for the commission to change
any rate on any commodity They
have argued that the commission
should take up the matter of rates by
classes.
The commission realizes this work
is of the utmost Importance and will
require careful study in order not to
disturb the present industrial condi-
lions existing In the state. The com
mission realizes the industries of the
state have been built up under class
ification of rates not based entirely on
Abe mileage, and to change this
system, at least part of the COM
mission, believes would be to upset
the present system and work irrepar-
able damage. A few parties, espec-
tally in Lincoln, have been hammer
ing the commission to make rates
based entirely on mileage basis.
This proposition, however, has been
severely criticised in an opinion by
the interstate commerce commission
and the interstate body has in the
past had considerable weight with the
commission. Just how long it will
take the commission to complete this
work the members have no idea, but
1t is expected to take long time, dur
ing which it Is probable many hear
ings will be held.

in Lincoln short time when he
discovered his salary was not sufficient

leased he has promised to go back to
his home town and act uprightly.

TESTIMONY TAKEN
 IN LAND FRAUD CASE

Washington, April 10.-Further testi- mony was taken today in the Hyde-Ben- Diamond d-Schneider land fraud case, tending to show the methods employed by Hyde and Benson in conducting their business in San Francisco.
 Miss Isabella Kincaid, who was em- ployed by Hyde from April, 1888, to No- vember, 1897, testified as to the visits of certain agents of the interior department to the office of Hyde, and said that a spe- cial report on proposed forest reservations to the commissioner of general land office was dictated to her by a special agent of the interior department. United States District Attorney Baker drew from the witness testimony regarding certain let ters dictated by Hyde, which were simply addressed Dear Sir" The attorney for the government said he would endeavor to show that the letters which the witness said referred to legislation on government land and other matters in which Hyde was concerned were addressed to certain clerks in the land office in Washington.

RIGHT OF WAY MUST
 FIRST BE SECURED
Problems In Building Tunnel
 Can Be Solved
EXPENSE IS NOT LARGE
Would Cross At Point Between Six teenth and Seventeenth Streets. pr. Berry Discusses Benefits
 That Would Accrue.

The first thing in the campaign for tunnel through Red mountain is the right of way Several prominent citizens are engaged in this matter, have promised to take 1t up with the Tennessee company, and within a few weeks it is expected l that this matter will be dulty settled
 After that the Board of Revenue will confer with the city authorities, and the street committee will probably decide to authorize the county to use all or part of the city's share of the road fund on the tunnel. The engineers of the city and county would then decide the ratio of expenses to be borne by the two boards and the work would be begun under the direction of Enginer Heidel. This would, of course. depend upon the courts decis- ion of whether county funds can be dl- vided with cities, which is expected within 60 days.
 The opinion is freely expressed that the | Tennessee company will be glad to give he right of way, but in case 1t would not condemnation proceedings might be car ried through and the tunnel built against all opposition.
 According to a statement of Hugh Mo Geever yesterday, the proposed route IS not across Twentieth street but across at a point between Sixteenth and Seven- teenth street The distance across there Is very small, and the expense of tun- nel would not be anything like as high as commonly expected.
 Dr. R. A. Berry, who lives on Shades mountain, said yesterday: 'I believe 1 can speak for every citizen of Shades valley, or on the mounSain beyond, when l say that we have been begging for tunnel for years, and that we would be willing to do without almost anything else rather than continue to be cut off from Birmingham by great, high mountain.
 Tt makes very little difference to the automobilist, but the saving in money in the haul over the mountain would pay for the tunnel in a few years. Teams coming to Birmingham with a down-hill and level course all the way would carry three times the present load without any trouble.
 Then, of course, property would be fn- creased in value so far as the valley is concerned No doubt the street car com pany would have a line through right away and this part of the county would be given the same opportunity that the northern district has
