WHAT MEERIHEw FOUND.

THE great ship had passed the isle
of Ischia. and now the bay OF
Naples unfolded all its variant
beauties. Both he and Merri-
hew were foremost in the press
against the forward rail To the lat
ter's impressionable mind it was like
a dream-yonder. the temples and
baths of Nero of the golden house:
thither. the palaces of the grim Ii
berius; beyond, Pompeii, with Glau-
Gus. lone and Nydia, the blind girl
The dream picture faded, and the re
ality was no less fascinating-thc
white sails OF the fishermen winging
across the sapphire waters, leaving
ribbOned pathways behind; proud
white pleasure yachts. great vessels
from all ports in the world. and an oc-
casional battlcship. drab and stealthy.
and the hundred pink and white vii
lagos, the jade and amethyst of the
islands. the ruined temples, the grim
giant ash heap of NeSuvius.
See that village on the cliffs to-
ward the south?" asked Hillard
That's Sorrento. where l was born.

Merrihew looked at the old Roman

Hillard leaned over and touched him

sonable for the railroads to ask the
courts to allow them to charge ten
cents per mlle because some insight
ficant road could not pay dividends
on a less rate as it now is to ask
that the two cent rate be set aside so
that the Midland Valley need not com
pete with other roads.
The utterance of President Taft
coupled with the suits that have been
filed in the federal courts are signi-
fcant signs pointing to the fact that
eternal vigilance is still the price Of
liberty. and that if the people Of Ok
lahoma desire to enjoy the advan-
tages given by the constitution. they
must be alert and vigilant to defend
the constitution, to keep it and all
officers working under it in the hands
of those who are favorable to it and
to prevent it from falling into the
hands Of those who believe it "A zoo

Constitution Persistently
Attacked by Interests"

Guthrie. Okla, Oct 1S.-There is no
doubt in the minds Of all thinking men
that the Oklahoma constitution is to
be bitterly and persistentIy attacked
by the special interests upon which
it has imposed limitations and by the
party that has always upheld special
interests
The same daily papers bearing the
news that President Taft had dubbed
the Oklahoma constitution as a Zoo
logical garden of cranks." and de-
nounced the limitations that it inn
posed. also bore the news that in con
nection with the suits recently filed
IN the federal courts to annul that
part of the constitution imposing a
two cent passenger fare rate. that the
Midland Valley road had joined the
Santa Fe and NJ, K & T.. although
the Midland Valley had been exempt
ed from the two cent rate by the cor
poration commission upon a showing
made by the Midland Valley that a
two cent rate would not pay the oper-
ating expenses of the road and re-
turn a fair dividend upon the invest
ment
Now comes the Midland Valley road
demanding that all roads be exempt
ed from the two cent fare rate and
alleging that because other roads
charge two cent rates that it is com
PEELED to meet this rate between com
petitive points pointing out particular
ly the parallel lines of the NJ. X. e.
T. and the Midland Valley from Tulsa
to Muskogee. and alleging that in or
der to get business between these two
points that the Midland Valley must
meet the Katy rate
It is a well known fact that there
are often lines. particularly branch
lines. upon which no dependence can
be placed for returns on investment
Thsre are lines that would not pay
reasonable dividend if FIVE or ten
cents per mile was charged for pas
senger rate. It would be just as rea-
