LEARNING TO SPELL.

Varnum Lincoln of Andoyef,
Mass, has left by will $4,000, the
annual income of which is to be dis
tributed in cash prizes to the best
spoilers at a spelling bee. Mr.. Lin
coin, like some of the rest OF us, had
learned to spell in the old fashioned
way. To him simplification was a
yexation and Brander Matthews was
as bad. He determined ito inculcate
the art of real spelling in the minds
of posterity" No doubt he had taken
part in many spelling bee, some
times in the school itself, when
sides would be chosen as in
village baseball. and phalanx would
fight against phalanx until only one
survivor was left. The art so ae-
auired was naturally priced, and we
dare say that Mr.. Lincoln's modest
will be at least as use
full to the world as Mr.. Carnegie's
more literally endowed efforts to
make the world share his orthog-
raphical or geographical eccentrici-
ties.-New York Sun.

The task of regulating railroad
rates so that there shall be no un Just
Determinations without at the Fe
time damaging trade, is a mors Ifi-
cult one than II eommonly SUI bsdd.
Twenty-one .yea#s ago, when the h-
terstate Cofkm{rce law was passed.,
there were hooking Discriminating
between persons and between places,
and a remedy was needed. But the
determinations were due mainly to
the struggles between competing
lines to get business, while the pop
ular impression was they suppressed
competition by pooling, and the
Cullom law was deemed as valuable
for its prohibition of pooling as for
its coneentrator of charging more
for the short than the long haul.
Since then there has been growing
a conviction that rate wars are in
furious to business as well as to the
railroads, and the Interstate Commits
sion and even the President have re-
cognized that uniformity of rates is
not only inevitable, but desirable, and
that, as a means to that, pooling
should be permitted
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission found itself obliged many
years ago to sanction some deyia-
ton from the purposes of the Cullom
law in order to enable the trunk lines
to meet the competition of the Great
Lakes. II has found ii necessary to
sanction lower rates for exports than
for. commodities to be distributed at
home. 1t has sanctioned differentials
claimed by this port and resisted by
New York.
According to a Washington dis
patch the following explanation of our
decreasing commerce with the ORR
ent is given by Officials who cannot
be quoted but are In positions to
direct our policies. This seems to
refer to the Secretary of State or his
assistants.
Five years ago -four in barrels
was shipped to the Orient from the
Northwest; steel rails from Pittsburg
and cotton in bales from Texas.
These shipments were made posi-
BILE because of an exceedingly low
ocean freight rate arrived at by
railroad combination. This rate has
been condemned by our courts as a
conspiracy against trade, and the de-
velopment of this trade has been
abandoned
This is not quite so clear as might
be desired, but it evidently refers to
special low rates made by railroads
for particular traffic which were con-
demned by the courts, although 1t has
been understood that favors to the ex-
port trade from the Atlantic seaboard
had been sanctioned. The export
business of the Standard Oil is said
to have been injured in similar way,
and 1.-The tobacco and cotton goods
trades are said to have been dealt
heavy blows through the operation of
railroads regulation here
We cannot regulate rates abroad.
The question whether we can regu-
late rates by sea from our ports Is
now pending. and it is very doubtful

NEVADA REPUBLICANS AWAKE

Republicans demonstrated that
they are alive and active in Nevada
when big meeting of the state CEN
trail committee, at which practically
all members were present, was held
at Reno I his meeting fixed the
date of the Republican state conven-
tions A strong Hughes sentiment
was shown at the meeting. Taft was
second in consideration. However, it
is some time until the convention to
select national delegates is held.
Changes may come about, though it
is not probable that Nevada Repub-
licans will consider other than one
of the two candidates named when
1t comes to selecting delegates.
Whether it is Hughes or Taft at the
finish is not a matter of deep con-
Germ. Botn are excellent men ana
either will do credit to the party and
the people at the head of the ticket.
Hughes has always held the esteem of
his party as wise and safe leader
Lately Taft has given evidence of a
good deal more individuality along
the same lines than credited with
possession of earlier in the season.
What the people want in the sue
cessor of Roosevelt is firmness and
sanity along with good deal less
lung power and more muscle than
the president has so far displayed,
The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1908-03-07
and 1t now looks as IL either Hughes
or Taft would fill the bill.

will report favorably a bill giving to
the states the control of interstate
shipments of liquors; giving the
states, that is, the power to enforce
its laws concerning local traffic in
liquor.
The combination between inter-
state lines of transportation and GER
tain distillers to introduce liquor
into prohibition territory is law
less conspiracy under the forms of
law" Its purpose is to trample the
state laws under their feet and then
ask the states defiantly, What are
you going to do about it?"
The regulation of the liquor traffic
is under the police powers of the
separate states. To invade prohibit
ton territory with liquor, under the
protection of the federal govern
ment, is an offense not lightly to be
pardoned. The protection hereto
fore secured; the connivance of the
transportation companies; the mac
ton of the federal government has
reached the dimensions of scandal.
1t has promoted law breaking of ev-
ery kind. 1t is as much smuggling
as it is to bring goods into New York
fFom England without paying the
duty
Yet every attempt to remove the
technical protection claimed and
granted has been resisted by liquor
representatives and others in the
Hobbies and in congress. One does
not have to be prohibitionist to see
the evil OF this traffic. While 1t is
claimed the bill, IL reported, will fail
In the house, favorable report will
be a great gain, for in the house de-
bate and vote the people will learn
who stands for law and order
and who stands for fraud and eva
sion.
