sion of the annual convention of the

tion in assembly hall, the teachers

son this state.

WHAT WILL REIMBURSEMENT Do70

The Chicago Tribune SAYS editorially
that the shippers Of the United States
cannot rid themselves entirely Of the
impression that the railroads contemp-
late general advance in freight rates
in the near future. The president OF
the Pennsylvania railroad denies that
there is any such intention, and some
other railroad officials have made more
or less direct, but in some respects
similar assertions.
That there must be REIMBURSEMENT OF
rates is apparent, unless the railroad
managers wish to perpetuate the pub.
+ lie unrest which has for some time pre-
vailed about freight determinations
There has been some reform, but more
is needed. Naturally the transporta-
ton pets who in the past have fattened
ON determinations while their rivals
have been starved out would regard a
fair readjustment as an unnecessary
raising of rates.
The railway agitation which has
troubled the officials Of late has not
been aimed, except to very slight
degree, at the earnings of the roads.
The public wants the railroads to pros
/. per, and wants the railroad Employees to
be well paid. There is no disposition
to undermine the roads and compel
hlrtful economies, but there is a very
strong determination that all points on
the roads must be treated fairly. Z.
Every city must be given chance to
grow in proportion to the natural con-
ditions, connected with it without being
held stationary by determinations in
q favor Of its rivals. 1t is encouraging II
there is really to be such a readjust-
4 ment as will give firmness to the traffic
situation, even though the old-time
traffic pets protest against the change.
Doubtless the rates will be higher fos
some. Of them, hence the fear with
which they are now agitated. But the
4 rates will be lower for others.

Sweet Peace Reigns in the state
senate at Austin.

Austin. Texas, Feb. Placid
and calm weather characterized the
proceedings in the senate yesterday
Nor a trace of Wednesdays storm
scenes were visible. The Thomas in
vestigating committee Will recon-
mend in its report that the matter
Of invest igating violations OF the
anti-lobby law which is set Tor next
Tuesday be dropped. and indications
are that the senate will adopt the re-
port.
The senate killed the bill by Sen
ator Golfer, providing for the estab-
lishment of chair of homeopathic
materia medica and therapeutics at
the Galveston branch of the univer-
sity by adopting the adverse minor
ity report of the committee by a vote
of Ii to II. The senators contended
that if such a chair is needed ii is
for the board of regents TO establish
il and not for the legislature.
The bill by Senator Ward, amend
ing the injunction law so as to pro-
hibit the clouding of titles and
Matchmaking of land titles in Texas
was passed finally Under this bill
Senator Ward claims that a person
can try the rights of property in
equitable proportion without resort
ing to the adequate remedy at law.
Mr. Brachfeld's bill requiring
locomotives to be equipped with au-
tomato ash pans was passed finally.
Only one bill was introduced in
the senate yesterday 1t was by Har-
per, amending the anti-nepotism
law so that the governor and mem
bers of the legislature can appoint
relatives as notaries public. Under
the present law a senator can not
confirm the appointment of notary
public who is related TO him. The
amendment also provides that an
employee in the state service can be
reappointed by relative where such
employee has had five years continu-
Gus service in such Office or depart

Perhaps w, J. Bryan is perfectly

Haskell of Oklahoma but when all
facts are considered carefully an
unprejudiced mind can not help
concluding that if Haskell was less
an advocate of Bryan theories the
great commoner would be less en-
thusiastic as a defender Haskell is
of a truth the victim of plot, but
unfortunately for himself and for
his distinguished champion, he is
one of the chief promoters of the
plot that is now destroying him. Mr.
Bryan has yet to learn that demo-
Gratis can do wrong and having done
wrong they are entitled to condem-
nation rather than justification.

possible for man to be honest and
