WRONG TIME FOR
INCREASED RATE
Manufacturers Will Protest
Against 10 Per Cent Raise
by the Railways.

New York. July 1.-THE interstate
commerce commission will be appealed
to by the Manufacturers association of
New York in it's fight to prevent the
railroads from making a 10 per cent
increase in freight rates Should the
proposed increased rate be put into ef-
feet, as was intimated by Senior Vice
President w. c. Brown of the New
York Central in his repl.- to the protest
of the Manufacturers association, the
interstate commerce commission will be
consulted. This would be done at once,
but the interstate commerce commission
has no power to act in such a matter
until such proposed increase really goes
into effect.
Reasons Advanced Not Good.
Members of the Manufacturers asso-
citation. after reading Mr.. Browns re-
ply to the letter sent him by the asso-
cations James T. Hole. said that Mr..
Browns answer, while lengthy, failed
to show adequate reasons why the
shippers should be made to suffer be-
cause the railroads are not making as
much money as they did in the past
Secretary Hole, after a careful pc
rusal of Mr.. Browns letter at his home
at Farmingdale, l.. l., yesterday replied
to a number of statements it contains
He said:
For many moons the prayer of the
railroad managers addressed to WASH
ington, d. c., has been: Don't bother
us, and let us alone That is now the
prayer of the shippers to the railroad
managers.
IF the railroads insist upon the pro-
posed 10 per cent increase at this par
ticular time. we shall have to see what
can be done with and through the in
terstate commerce commission. 1t may
be a fact that there should be 10 per
cent increase in freight rates The time,
however, for that increase is not now

New York. July 13.-william J., Bryan

The presidents power for good or for
harm is often overestimated. This govern

Joins with the senate and house; he may
recommend, but he is powerless to legis-
late, except as a majority OF the senate
and the house concur with him. The SEN
ate and the house are also Independent OF
each other, each having a veto over the
other; and the president has a veto over
both except that the senate and house
can. by a two-thirds vote, override the
presidents veto. The influence of the
president over Legislation Is, therefore,
limited; he shares responsibility with a
large number of the peoples representa-
tiveS.

this evening. She was charged with fe-

This second tragedy at the Horner

last few years. The shooting of Barley
T. Horner by DR.. Simpson aroused the
countryside in December. 1905. and when
the dentist was put on trial his wife took

Immunity Granted.

Immunity was practically granted to ev-
cry individual who participated in that
pool-only one man. the treasurer, and or
iginator of the pool. John II. Parks. now
a fugitive in Europe. was included in
the indictment. All the other defendants
were corporations or partnerships. We
maintain that such a finish to the pro-
cedure is a miscarriage of justice. When
a fine of $4,000 Is imposed for an ex-
tortion of 3d. 900 II places a premium
upon lawlessness. and brings wildly to
us a realization OF the hopelessness of re-
lief under methods that prevail. especially
when the United States district attorney,
while granting immunity to the individ-
uals. urges leniency for the corporations
which employ them. How different this
case Is from that OF the ancient law
when the wrongdoer lost not only the
property which he had wrongfully taken
or the value OF that which he had de-
stroyed. but ais all the rest OF his prop
erty was forfefs.d to the state. Here. a
immunity for IL offending individual.

no steps have been taken against the
box board pool. operated from the same
office of John II. Parks. or against the
Suiphite Pulp association. whose bylaws
and membership were submitted to the
department OF Justice eight months ago,
or againstlsh other offenders.

knowledge of public questions and the
ability to discern between the true and
the false: he must be able to analyZe the
conditions and to detect the sophistr!es
that are always employed by those who

He must possess the moral courage TO
stand against the influences that are
brought to bear in favor of special inter

age Is as essential in a public official as
either right sympathies or a trained mind.
