CURIOUS SITUATION
IN BIG RATE CASE
Hartman Lines Heretofore Re-
lieyed From Effect Of I'M
pOrtant Order.
COMMISSION IS NOW
IN DOUBT AS TO MATTER
Impression Is That Rates
Should Apply to All
Roads Alike.

WASHINGTON. May l6.-A curious
and remarkable situation has arisen re-
specting the order of the interstate
commerce commission in the Spokane
rate case. The commission. which post
poned until July /, the time when the
order shall become effective wrestled
with the case for more than wear.
1t involved many intricate points of
law and Of railway freight rate max ing
and as it almost certainly would reach
the courts eventually for final detcrmi
nation, the commission was at great
pans to render decision that might
withstand the inspection of the review
ing tribunals. The opinion was careful
ly written by Commissioner Proutv and
by lawyers il is regarded as one Of the
ablcst decisions ever rendered by the
commission,
Based on the decision. an order was
issued directing railroads doing bust
ness between Chicago and 81: Paul and
Spokane materially to reduce their rates,
The order was made applicable not only
10 the Great Northern and the North
ern Pacific routes but also the Union
Pacific. the Oregon Short Line and fhc
Oregon Railroad & Navigation company.
Hartman Request.
After the promu'gation of the order
the Hartman lines asked the commits.
sion TO be relieved from the effect of
the order, first, because no direct line
leading from ST. Paul to Omaha was III.
cluded in the order. thus rendering it
impossible for the Hartman lines, even
If they desired, to establish rates from
st. Paul; and, second, because the dis
tancc from Chicago to Spokane Via the
III I,-
proXimatcly 400 miles. than from Chi
cago 40 Spokane via the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific.
The Hartman people urge that while
the rates fixed by the commission might
be reasonable over the northern roads,
it would be a hardship TO compel them
to haul freight 400 miles further at the
same rates.
Order Is Suspended.
The commission granted temporary
suspension OF the order as far as it cf-
feels the Hartman lines, bur leaving
il effective SO far as the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific are concerned.
The commission is in doubt as TO the
ultimate application of the order to the
Hartman lines, but proposes to reopen
the case with view to ascertnining
all the facts, if thar be possible. There
is a strong feeling that the rates fixed
by its order ought TO be made te apply
TO all the roads. irrespective of distance.
because the order affects the rates at
points on the Hartman system, which
are not reached by either the Great
Northern or the Northern Pacific.
1t has been intimatcd, however, that
there may be some ulterior reasons for
the desire of the Hartman lines not 20
have the order apply to them and for
their apparent willingness TO rclinqulsh
the Chicago Spokane business.
June Q has been fixed as the date for
further hearing.

Prohibition the Obstacle to Real Temperance Reform

Mr.. WATSON is a clergyman Of the Epis-
copal church. He thinks Il a clergyman's
duty 10 speak openly against any system
which he believes to be a sourc Of inn
morality and crime. Some folks say that
Il does not look right to be against pro-
hibition. MI. WATSON believes that no con-
sideration Of mere e%xpediency should deter
q clergyman from doing his duty. The
object Of q prohibitory liquor law is to
lessen liquor drinking. Its effect seems
3ust the opposite. Mr.. WATSON has CLOSELY
studied the matter for years and he ex-
plains here Just wherein a prohibitory law
fails in It's object. He does not overlook
the evils Of the saloon. He submits a plan
for the regulation OF the liquor traffic
which will make for temperance. This ar

Dream In Georgia.

In respons to the loud clamorings OF the
Anti-Saloon league, the legislature OF
Georgia enacted a prohibitory law a
couple of years ago. The act went into
effect January l. 1908. For a short time,
the new law seemed to have a good effect.
Judging from surface indications, II
looked as II prohibition might at last break
its long record OF failure and actually stop
the sale OF liquor. But, again. II was all a
dream, and a very short dream, too. The
drinkers adjusted themselves to the dry
system. and were soon hobnobbing as
openly and boldly as ever with the old
demon. Conditions kept going from bad
to worse. and before the law had been on
the statute books a year, II was clearly
evident TO everybody that had even half
an eve that prohibition in Georgia had
broken down.
Here is the testimony OF two OF the
prohibition leaders themselves. Rev. DR.,
Holderby OF Atlanta, an ardent prohibi.
ZIONIST, said last winter: '"The legislature
Is afraid TO stand by the very law which
II enacted twelve months ago. Atlanta has
become a laughing stock and a stencil IN
the nostrils Of the Almighty" This con-
fession must AVE been very humiliatinl

his people right along that he knew It e
