TRANSPORTATION FOR I'D
VERTZSING.

The fact that the Georgia railroad
commission has ruled that newspa-
pers in that state may accept trans
portation from railroads in exchange
for advertising is attracting attention,
more particularly as the federal court
of Chicago has just ruled that such
contracts are Illegal. With all due
respect to the federal jurist, The
Herald believes the Georgia commits
sion is right. 1t surely is not in &C
cordance with the constitutional
rights of citizens to restrain publish
ers by debating how they shall be
paid for services performed. 1t ap-
pears that a newspaper should have
as much right to accept railroad
transportation for advertising as it
has to accept any commodity for it.
Still, it must be admitted that the
principle of accepting nothing but
cash for advertising is a good one.
The grounds upon which the rule
prohibiting publishers from accepting
transportation for advertising was
based-that of preventing the
press from being Influenced in favor
of the railroads by the fact of holding
such Contradictory or may not be
well taken. It is considered by many
publishers as reflection upon the in
tegrity of the press as whole to take
it for granted that editorial express
sions may have been Influenced. 1t is
a fact that most men in business viii,
as rule, refrain from giving offense
to influential patrons by criticising
them or holding their defects or sins
up to public condemnation A news
paper is only a business institution
after all. And yet, it can be truly said
that the results of the new rule inTex-
as have hardly sustained the charge
that the press was influenced by rail-
road patronage. If anything, the papers
of the state as a rule appear, even
more liberal towards the railroads
than before.
Be that as it may, the country pub
fishers have been losers by the new
rule, for the railroads are Still adver-
Using in the city papers, but have
cut out the country weeklies and
dailies Manya country editor and his
family have been deprived of their
usual summer outing on account of
the transportation being cut off. The
patrons of the railroads have also
been put to more or less inconven-
fence by the discontinuance of the
publication of railroad schedules,
which the publishers naturally do not
feel inclined to publish gratis.

LETTER TO t. DE Los SANTOS
Brownsville, Texas

Dear Sir: Two cans of paint look
alike; two paints look alike, when
opened; two jobs looks alike, so long
as they're new-unless one is scant.
They are far from alike: one is
paint and the other is trash.
The gallon price is not far from
alike. They don't cost alike. One
takes 10 gallons to paint house;
the other takes 20. The cost of one
job is $50; the other s1O0-it may
s9O-the job that cost least is the
good one; wears twice as long as the
other.
There are two ways of telling
good paint: by the name; by the
number of gallons it takes for job
least gallons, best paint. BY the
name Devoe; by least gallons.
Yours truly
SO F. w. DEVOE & CO

BURNING OIL GEYsER.
Began Burning Over Month Ago and
Fire Still Raging.

City of Mexico, Aug. 3.-The oil
well at Los Bocas is still burning. It
began on July 4, at first through an
opening less than a foot in diameter
1t has now formed sort of crater
$50 feet in diameter, and as the fire
is still raging it is impossible to es-
innate the depth of the crater. With
the force spread out in this manner
the burning oil is not thrown to
such a heighth as formerly. The COM
pany officials are unable to arrive at
any idea of the amount of flow or the
extent of damages All attempts to
smother the flames have been unsuc-
cessful. They are now using heavy
pumps to throw sand, dirt and stones
from the bed of a nearby stream upon
the lake of fire in the hopes of put
ting it out The drags of iron sheets
have been discarded and the tunnel to
tap the flow below the mouth has
been given up. The spectacle con-
tinues to attract visitors from long
distances.-New York Herald, copy

AGAINST THE ANTS.
Official TabuIation Now Being Made
at Dallas Headquarters- Over
100000 Votes Have Been Counted
Submission Leads by 24S Votes
Several Counties Yet to Report.

With an addition of 1O,243 to the
vote on submission accounted for,
submissionists again have the better

now only a-few counties to be heard

nearly all located in either the north
west or the southwest section of the
State, remote from transportation
facilities.
The total number of votes account
ed for by the returns is now 276,242
Of these the submissionists have
13S,245 and the ants 13S,997, leav-
ing the submisionists 24S in the lead.
The official tabulation is under
stood to be under way at the head
quarters at Dallas, but nothing has
yet been officially published and will
not be until the State executive
committee meets prior to the State
convention.

DEAFNESS CANNoT BE CURED


by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inf1amed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
tion can be taken to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cuerd by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars free.

New York Dec 22,--That not only cheaper, but very much cheaper rates for cahlegrams across tho Atlantic are near at hand was the confident as- sertlon of Rodolpho Lemlcux the post master general of Canada, to-day fol- lowing his return from Europe,

Lemeux said the movement had recommended itself to inhuen tial interests in the United States also, but he declined to be questioned as to whether this government had been, or would be approached by Canada or Great Britain In the matter. It was regarded as significant, he said, how ever, when Whitelaw Reid. the Ameri- can ambassador, in London, at a din- ner given to Mir. Lcmieux in that city, declared in a semi-humorous way that the United States would not stand idly by and see Canada alone enjoy the great boon of low cable rates to Eur ope.
 If the cable companies would make the reductions that would satisfy the governments, according to Mir. Lem ieuX, then there would he no now ca ble laid across the Atlantic and ho believed that there was what was likely to happen, In any event he added. he had received such assur- ances in London that he felt almost certain that the day of very much cheaper cabling between Europe and | America was not far distant.
