lie confidence" We think that the
railroad situation has been very badly
handled at Washington; but that is
no reason why the railroad people
should make 1t any worse by prophc-
sying evil things for the future. We
do not think that the railroad bin
upon which so much time has been
wasted by Congress should be passed
Mr.. Ripley says:
''The railroad bill as it stands is a
terror. 1t takes control of the rail
roads out of our hands, while leaving
us the responsibility. 1t gives the
Government practical control without
ownership. IL 1t is to go into effect
would rather the Interstate Com
inerce Commission was given full
power to make all rates"
That would be very bad thing to
do. The Commission does not know
anything about making rates, and the
true function of government is not
business. We do not want Mr.. Taft
to make another "Payne-AldrichT Tar
ff-Bill" mistake. 1t is not part of his
duty as Chief Executive to direct leg
islation.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. I1tpI,t,

Patriot sends us the following
note on the Jeffrics-J ohnson fight: I'm

The fact is that when Jcffrics was

what to the black would have been
mortal combat. But Jeffrics with
his intense race pride declined the
challenge. and so johnson went forth
conquering and to conquer: he defeated
all com ers--of course. not one of whom
was his equal in height or weight or
length Of arm. The entire negro race
became imbued with the erroneous
idea that the white race was de-
cadent, that Jeffries was positively
afraid to encounter Johnson, and that
as Johnson was invincible, so TOO
would an army of negroes be inyinciple
to an army of greater size, composed
of timid weddings of the race OF
white. The scory Jefries was the
leading representative. In consequence
of this detcstable state of affairs negro
boys right here in Richmond tyrannized
and bulldozed the white boys. The
race as whole became more and more

IT Is true also that the Endurance

first at Bethel farthest at Gettysburg,
and last at Appon1attox, or not--but
1t was fried very lightly and 1t fairly
melted in the mouth. The Endurance

pan part of the grand old State, and
so 1t Is that the fatted riders will re-
turn to their rich home fare in good

soup in at the same time and with
one motion.
In the admirable description of
North Carolina, given by Moses, it is
spoken of as "a good land. land of
brooks OF water, OF fountains and
depths that spring out of valleys and
hills; a land of wheat, and barley, and
vines. and tiS trees, and pomegranates:
a land of otl-oliVe. and honey" The

There is not less than a full regi-

PAYING FOR ABILITY NOT

POETS NOT WANTED.


The whole brotherhood of song and
the fellowship of verse will be indig-
nant at the decision of the New York
immigration officers refusing to admit
William Peterson to this country. Pc
tersen was a Swedish bard In other
days, before he went to visit abroad,
he wrote lyrics and elegies and epics
and sonnets. in praise of fair Scandi-
dramatic fire. before the Swedes of
New York. Like a true denizen of
Grub Lane. Petersen refused TO work
for living and lived, or rather
starved. by his pen. When he came
back to New York from his native land
the other day he could not produce
S24 in cash and could only give poe
try writing as means of earning a
living. The unsentimental immigra-
ton officers failed to see his right to
enter the country, and ordered him
to be deported.
We do not want to rejoice in the
descent of Petersen's Muse. and VIC
mourn with the Scandinavians of New
York. who have lost their well-be-
loved sonsster but we could only wish
that with the deported Petersen were
exiled some thousands of our present
day poets. Their immigration into
England and the Continental countries
would be sad blow to them but it
would be blessing to America.
The average man who treads his
way unmoved through the slough of
prose, has no idea how many gentle
spirits dwell on the heights of verse
or, to drop the figure. the man who
reads good prose has no idea how
much bad verse is being written in
this country. The verse which gets
into print is generally bad enough, bu,
