slowing or unstowing matter delivered
at or received al the car door is not
in truth loading or unloading, but
only a part of that work. This is the
substance of statements by attorneys
in the examination yesterday.
AS additional defense. Attorney c. W.
Durbrow of the Southern Pacific, who
is assisted by Attorney G. w. Camp
of the Santa Fe, holds that to furnish
service outside of transportation is in
defiance of the Hepburn law. For this
reason they gave shippers the alterna-
tive of unloading themselves or paying
30 cents a ton when done by the COM
pany Whether or not this is fair
charge for the labor furnished is held
immaterial by Bracken, who says any
charge at all is unfair.
For 80 years. testified James Nc
Nab. president of the chamber of COM
merce and head of the largest draying
firm in the west, "the Southern Pa
cihc handled package freight inside
the car free of charge.
why didn't you protest when the
charge was nader asked Durbrow, re-
ferring to the date of December l, 1906.
The merchants were SO distressed

have made kick if SO a ton had been
charged" McNab answered.

question up to General Freight Agent

Satire Of Oliver Wendell Hoimes.

Satire Of Oliver Wendell Holmes.
The peculiArities which DR.. Holmes
found NEST amusing were those which
he himself shared. There is indeed an
old prudential maxim to the effect that
people who live in glass houses should
not throw stones. This. in natural say
ing, takes for granted that we should
all enjoy smashing our neighbors' glass
If we could insure the safety Of our
own DR.. Holmes was Of a different
disposition. His satire. like his char
ity. began at home. He was quite
proud OF the glass house in which he
lived. and at the same time he enjoyed
throwing stones. II he broke a win
dow now and then it was a satisfac-
ton to think that it was his own. No
one valued more highly the intellec-
tual characteristics OF Boston. but he
also saw the amusing side Of the local
virtues. You may have watched the
presddigitator plunge his hand into
spirits OF ether and then. touching a
match to 1T. hold 1t aloft like a blazing
torch. The quick evaporation OF the
ether formed a 6lm Of moisture SUM-
Gent to protect the hand from the
thin fame. So DR.. Holmes satire
played round the New England con-
science and did net the least harm to

ONLY A PATCH.

Nebraska and Colorado have lately
passed stringent laws forbidding the
importation Of dairy cattle Of any kind
which do not show a clean bill of
health in the matter of freedom from
tuberculosis. This action may be call
ed radical by those who would suffer
from an enforcement Of the law, but
from the standpoint Of decent regard
for the public health it is to be COM
mended. Yet q matter that SO vitality
concerns the public health should not
be left for the individual state to cope
with. but should be reached by an ef-
fective federal law. Were such q
measure enacted and the interstate
shipment of tuberculous animals pro-
hibited the ak would be laid at the
root Of the difficulty, and the individ-
ual dairyman OF no conscience, being
prohibited from selling diseased ami
mails. would quit business or reform.
Action by individual states Is a step
in the right direction. but it is at best
a patch where in truth q new gar
ment is needed.
