4 PARALLEL. PERHAPS.

The public will be pleasantly affected
nj the thought Of railway men meeting
at a public dinner 10 celebrate, among
ether things. the passing OF the rebate.
There is a controversy which is settled
apparently 10 the delight Of every one.
And yet il does not take long memory
10 recall the time when the rebate had
its defenders in railway circles. The
granting of lower rates 10 large shippers
was excused upon the same principle
upon which wholesale prices are justi-
fed. The handling of traffic was said
10 be more profitable and cheaper in the
case of large shippers than Of small.
and interference with this arrangement
was declared 10 be an unwarrantable
attack Oh the freedom Of business. All
sorts of predictions Were made regard
ing the dire consequences that would
spring from such interference.
1t is perhaps. worth while 10 recall
this earlier agitation on this cheerful
occasion merely 10 jog the memory of
infallibility. IL mistake could be made
about the consequences of ending re-
bates. perhaps a mistake may be made
about the consequences OF some of the
other reforms the public Is meditating-
the regulation of stock issues. tor ex-
ample. More than one speaker on
"Wednesday night sgnified his distress
at the fact that the public has this idea
in mind. But who would be SO bold as

come the public. policy there would not
be a dinner of railway men TO celebrate

highest paid preacher in the United States,
the Hon. William Howard Taft. Seventy
five thousand dollars a year may be con-
sidered large pay for a preacher. but TAX

There is said 10 be no doubt that the
deadly outbreak of cholera in Germany
IS attributable to the pollution of the
water OF the Memel River by raftsmen.
The theory is certainly plausible, and it
suggests the serious danger. which is
always involved in the Use of water
which is subject TO such contamination.
If the sewage from a few RATS could
cause such an epidemic. what might not
be feared from the use of water from
