 Fate of the Sultan.
 Should the Sultan remain in office it will merely be in nominal way. This allowance will be greatly restricted and he will have no means for further agta- tton should his mind turn again in this direction It is credtably reported that the Sultan has distributed within recent days 2,M,OO0 pounds, Turkish, to the troops.
 The question of his deposition or his execution can hardly be considered a

 Modern political ideas. supported by an army of 5000 men from the European provinces, opposed to his ruling, but the Asiatic provinces, backward and confirmed in the Mussulman faith remain yet to be reckoned with. Even European Turkey has only a thin veneer of educa- ton and culture, and 1t Is believed the old order is likely to have another chance before many months.

Purchase of State Farm.

Unless the prison commiss ion reaches an agreement with the governor with regard to the purchase of a state farm for the white eonvicts within the next two months the legislature will have about $200 900 to spend which it had not counted on, and it will find no diff ficulty in spending it.
 This money represents the proceeds of the tax on near beer for the last two years, and in accordance with the act of the legislature of 1908 was to have been used for buying a farm.
 The new legislature may do one of two things with it. It may insist that the farm purchase project be carried out. or it may use the money for oth CT purposes, and there are plenty of other purposes that will be waiting right on

In the Young Mems Christian associa- tion gymnasium this afternoon at 8 o'clock the Rev. w. D. Hubbard will deliver an address on Marks With Meaning" for men only. It will begin promptly at D. m.. and the large crowd which al- ways attends these meetings is expected. Every one is invited.
 The fact that Richmond Pearson Hob- son has accepted the invitation of the as- sociation to attend the annual meeting and banquet some time during the latter part of next month has enlivened the in- terest in the occasion and the members are hustling to get a seat at the table. This will be one of the most elaborate affairs ever gotten up by the association. It Is proposed to set the pace for an annual banquet to which any public cit izen will be glad to be invited In order to get seat at the table one must either be new member or get a new member for the association.
 The new membership campaign is just turning into the last lap, and this week will be banner one. The committed headed by M. P. Phillips is now lead Ing with 1S1 points. with that led by C. H. Estes a close second. The next three best scores are s. R. Billingsley. 66; D. A. Williams, 60. and J. A Blue, 56.
 The campaign closes May and before that time a great roundup will take place. The committee with the highest score will be the guests of honor at the annual banquet, while those with the low est score will act as waitresses in caps and aprons
 The association is busily preparing for the big field day at the Fair grounds on May 8. big team of runners is practicing morning, noon and night and the Athletic park is the scene of every day field meets. The association will en- ter men in every event this year, and Is going to make a big fight for honors.

Toxic. March 8.-Count Okuma, for
mer president of the Progressive par
ty, has written a signed article for
the Toxic Mainichi, in which he un-
reservedly praises President TAFT for
his policy as embodied In his inaug-
ural address. In regard to that por-
tion of the address dealing with the
treaty rights OF aliens Okuma says
that 1t would be matter for univer-
sal rejoicing should the delicate re-
lations between the federal and state
constitutions be adjusted in q manner
thoroughly compatible with national
credit and honor. and the standing OF
the United States as highly civilized
power. In respect to the naval pro-
gram as laid down in the inaugural
speech, the count processes to fully
concur He writes that President
Taft believes that such an outcome Is
an unavoidable demand of the times
and ridicules the idea that 1t is d.
rected against Japan. He asserts that
this idea is gross Misrepresentation
OF both Japan and the United States,
which believe equally that strong
navy Is the best guarantee OF peace
Regarding immigration. the count
cannot entertain the idea OF restric-
ton as a principle, hut he is unop-
posed TO it as temporary measure

low and therefore confiscatoryS was
based upon expert testimony as TO
how the common express should be
divided between state and interstate
traffic. The theory of the railroad ex-
perts Is that the express. common
to the state and interstate traffic,
should be divided In proportion to the
revenue produced by the two classes
of trafflc with an added increase of
cost for the doing of state business !
This theory seems to me manifest
ly wrong and absurd, as its necessary
and logical result Is that the higher
the rates and the greater the revenue
produced by the state traffic, the larg.
er would be the amount Of express as
signed to that traffic. A number of
the witnesses for the railroads testl-
fed that the only way the state traf-
fic could be made remuncrative, would
be to make them SO high that they
would be prohibltve.
1T would, therefore, be lust as easy
for the railroads to prove by this the
ory that the threccent law was un-
reasonable as TO prove that the two
cent law was too low. The state con-
tended that the expense of doing state
business should be determined on the
cost of service rendered 10 the two
classes Of traffic. The question as to
how those expenses should be divided
was the on controlling question In
yolved In the litigation. So 1t Is ap-
parent that these laws which were
regularly enacted are declared inoper-
atIve on a theory supported alone by
the testimony Of expert witnesses. So
long as this method obtains the right
of the states TO regulate the charges OF
public service corporations. doing bus
iness therein. amounts to but little or
nothing.
