Canadian Railroad Invasion.

Control by the Canadian Pacific of
a number of railroads in the United
States presents an entirely new prob
lem in rate regulation. For years the
Canadian road has owned the 500 line
and it has recently acquired the Wis
consin Central, giving it entrance into
Chicago. It has lines reaching Seattle
on the Pacific coast and now rumor
has 1t the Canadian company has pur-
chased the New York. Ontario &
Western and the Boston & Maine.
The lines in the United States owned
by the Canadian road can be made to
comply with the rate laws and regu-
lations OF this country, but on freight
to the seaboard, passing partly over
the Canadian Pacific. the question Of
regulation is different. The proper
tional Of the rate taken by the Can
adian line can be manipulated at will,
so far as our laws are concerned, and
II the Canadian Pacific desires 1t a
not only demoralize trafic matters,
but make serious inroads into the
business Of lines this side Of the Dor
der. Railroad managers admit that
under existing law there is no remedy,
but this does not signify that one IAN
not be found.
Hitherto the railroads on this side
Of the border have dominated the sit
uation, but the new Developments in
dictate hat they may not longer do
so to the same extent. The western
shipper is not so much concerned; in
fact. the Canadian competition is
likely to be q rate equalizer. but the
seaboard cities OF the United States
are greatly agitated and with good
cause. Montreal has become a formi-
dable competitor for export grain traf-

0uida on Suffrage.

A wOman's view of woman's rights
and suffrage which is likely to pro-
woke extensive controversy is given in
the p"osthumous publication of a letter
by Louise de la Rance, better known
as Ouida. She attacks the question
with a virility equal to her best eff
forts and with a frankness which no
mere man would dare to do. Accord
ing to Ouida, women want equality
with men, in matters of government,
but shirk the equality Of service and
asks If women we're ready to become
soldiers and sailors In time Of war or
even surrender the little civilities ac-
corded the sex in excess of those be-
tween men, and she bluntly answers
both queries in the negative. Herein,
we. conceive, lies the whole radical
weakness of the hue and cry raised
by women, |. e., the demand for every
thing with the resolve to concede moth
ing"
The arguments against suffrage are
not new, only put a little more point
eddy, as might have beer expected Of
Ouida, but it is her blunt declaration
that the sex is inherently inferior to
nan that will raise the storm. She
bases her argument on the scientific
theory of the survival of the ittest
and goes back to the time when man
was inferior to the beast, but by evo-
luton had become his master. Both
sexes, she AYERS, started with equal
opportunity and mans supremacy was
not accident, but the operation OF the
eternal law. If woman has not at
tanned an equal place with man, II
she has been tardy of development,
she argues, it is her own inherent
fault, not mans.
Ouida leads up through all the ar
raignment of woman's suffrage, how
ever, to a powerful plea for the
broader education Of women and free
ing her from "superstitions" that she
may better perform her task of lead
ing the minds of the children in right
paths and that her influence over man
may be broader and more beneficial.

hc and a development Of the situation
is feared which will seriously affect
the foreign commerce Of New York,
Boston, Baltimore and Philadelphia.
How to meet such competition is a
serious problem. On exports the party
paying the freight is beyond the juris-
diction of American courts and on In
coming shipments the rates can be
varied by selling goods Z. o. b. track
at point of delivery. In this case,
also, the freight payment is beyond
United States Jurisdiction and II the
portion of the haul within United
States territory is paid for at tariff
rates, reaching the rebater or manipu-
lator Of rates is difficult. Greater
elasticity in export rates than is now
permitted is urged by railroad man
ayers as the only remedy, but this In
turn is complicated by domestic rates.
II railroad managers are permitted
TO be the Judge of changes In export
rates to meet outside manipulation
conditions would revert to the old
time chaos, and II is suggested that
the Interstate Commerce commissions
powers be enlarged to meet the con-
ditions.

influence Of the United States.

The position and work of the
United States in the world was force
fully set forth in an address by Senior
Nabuco, the Brazilian ambassador, to
the students of Wisconsin university.
He cited the makeup of our popula-
ton, a nation built by welding people
of all nationalities, with the impetus
of diversified ideas all crystallized into
the basic idea Of equality. Equal
ity," he says, did not make only the
success of this nation; It fixed the
final type of humanity everywhere.
The nations cosmopolitan character
alone has made It's worldwide inhu-
ence irresistible" Senior Nabuco said
that had the principle been tried and
proved efficient with a pure race the
answer too often would be in other
lands ut is not suited to our people,
but here is a nation made up Of i'm
migrants from all lands with all con-
ceivable ideas and governmental prac-
tees, all being rapidly moulded into
a common mass with common ideals.
Such a view of our civilization and
government by an outside observer is
instructive and encouraging, for II
strengthens our faith in ourselves.
II also affords a new angle of view
of our influence upon the world. We
are prone to look at a nation in the
light of material power and ignore the
silent influence OF example which is
unconsciously remoulding all others.

Two Questions Answered.

Two questions have been pro-
pounded to The Bee by the Good Gov
eminent league OF San Francisco,
which have doubtless been directed
also to leading newspapers through
out the country, and which, we feel
sure, will elicit responses practically
all in the same tenor. The questions
are:
l. Does the prosecution Of wealthy per
sons charged with civic crimes injure bust
ness; or does II improve the financial
standing OF a city, In the eyes of outside
investors? why?
2 Would San Francisco profit financially
by abandoning the present prosecution; or
would II be to the permanent material ad-
vantage Of the city to prosecute to a final
determination the indicted higher ups, -
so-called? why?
/. Prosecution of "~malefactors of
great wealth" charged with Give
crimes cannot injure legitimate bust
ness and ought to improve the fnan-
cial standing of a city. The invest
ment Of money is a purely calculating
proposition and people like to invest
money in cities where they feel conf
dent that It will not only make good
returns. but also be safe against plum
der either by grating public officials
or plutocratic outlaws. All this is on
the assumption that the wealthy per-
sons charged with civic crimes have
really committed the crimes and that
the prosecution is not instigated or
famed on by mere prejudice against
wealth. The fact hat the person
charged with the crime is rich or poor
ought to have nothing to do with
prosecution and punishment II found
guilty.
Q. It would be well for San Fran
cisco to go on with its prosecutions If
1t has evidence enough to warrant
reasonable expectation of conviction.
To carry on a prosecution which 1t is
known in advance is bound to fail
would be money wasted, with no sufi-
cient ~compensating advantages in the
free advertising. San Francisco
should decide to go on or to stop with
out reference to whether the culprits
are higher up or lower down." and
IN it's determination be guided by the
same considerations that would gov
ern in any prosecution for any other
crime Of equal seriousness.
This general proposition is unas-
sailable-it never hurts a business in
stitution, a political party, a city or a
commonwealth to purge itself of dis
honest and recreant officials or mem
bers.

Mediatinp Industrial Disputes.

In well-informed circles President
Taft is credited with an intention to
recommend I congress legislation
broadening the scope of federal media
ton in labor disputes, involving inter-
state commerce, particularly where
public rights and convenience are
concerned, There is no intention to
make arbitration compulsory or it's
awards binding, but simply to expand
the scope OF the Erdmann act, which
has already done much to help settle
differences between employers and em-
ployes.
The Erdmann act requires that at
least one party to the dispute shall
request the services of the Interstate
Commerce commission and the COM
missioner of labor before these Off
cials may intervene, and it is now
proposed to make 1t their duty when
conditions warrant 1t to attempt a
settlement Of differences. The princi-
pal advantage expected to be gained
is an effort at settlement before the
parties to controversies become en-
Filtered and stubborn through con-
iict.
Transportation and producing COM
panies have grown so that strikes eff
feet a much larger per cent Of the
country's business than formerly, and
in the case of many railroad systems
and manufacturing concerns a stop
page of n paralyzes a large portion
of the nations business. Such a strike
is not simply a controversy between a
company and its employees, but the
public has an equity in 1t.
Prompt mediation by a recognized
impartial tribunal could doubtless in
a majority OF the cases bring the di-
vergent interests together to their
own and the public advantage.

Springfield (MasB.) Republican.
It happens to be an unfavorable year In
Nebraska for Rockefellering the state uni
versity. Some say It is Bryan's influence
that keeps the stream OF benevolenoe from
submerging the institution In that case,
the governor and chancellor are acting in
accordance with Mr.. Bryan's wishes in re-
fusing to approve a petition signed by the
students asking that Mr.. Rockefeller be
given the opportunity to equip the new
athletic field at a cost OF $50, 900. If the
governor and the chancellor have acted
entirely on their own initiative, 80 much
the better. The University Of Nebraska is
a state institution and it's needs should be
provided by the legislature. Special ap,
peals to millionaires for money are degrad-
ing to the commonwealth.
