RAILROAD RATES TO BE ISSUE
Continued from page u

national highways. They have tax.
ing power which is being abused and
which, if the railroads persist in taking
advantage Of the helplessness of the
ultimate consumer. must ultimately be
curbed in some way. While the public
is willing to have railroad investors
make fair profit on capital invested,
discomfort is being expressed because
the railroads are forcing the people to
pay millions of dollars annually as inter.
est on alleged investments that exist
only in Imagination and are represent
ed by nothing more material than
watered stock.
The government is helpless because
it can not say when rate is excessive.
The government does not know the
actual physical value of single rail-
road in the country, and therefore the
Interstate Commerce Commission can
do little more than guess as to whether
a rate is excessive or not. Roosevelt
urged the taking of a physical valuation
of the railroads time and again, but his
recommendations were in vain.
Senator LaFollette in recent speech
on the railroad bill, also urged physi-
cal valuations as means of stopping
overcapitaIixation. He also points out
from figures furnished by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, some of the in
creased rates on leading commodities.
He declared in many cases no warrant
could be found for the increases. The
railroads he said had simply Increased
rates from 80 to go per cent, without
giving any reason and no power existed
to stop them.

STUART ORATOR
ON JULY 4TH

Honaker, Va, July 4.-Special.
The celebration of the Fourth OF
July at Honaker was one of the big
gest celebrations 10 occur i'm South
west Virginia. over two thousand
people being present.
The feaurcAof the day was an adj
dress by Henry G.. Stuart, demo-
cratic nominee for congress. Mr..
Stuart's address, devoid of any polit-
ical references, was pronounced by
those who were Mt Honaker from
TaZewell, as one of the best efforts
of the distinguished Virginians ca
reer. His audience was at times COM
pletely carried away by his oratory
and patriotic utterances, and APP
plauded him time and again duriug
the address.
Mr.. Stuart called to mind the his
torical fact, that the great army of
the revolution was composed largely
OF men from the mountains-coun-
try people, who turned from the
pillow handles TO offer their lives for
the freedom of their country, and
who fought bled and died that we
might enjoy the blessings OF liberty
and free speech, and that the lessons
lnstilled In the minds OF the patriots
of that day by the Declaration of In
dependence, were as fresh In the
minds OF the people today as if the
great conflict only eliminated yes
terday.
Mr.. Stuart's address, rs n whole,
was one of the most refreshing and
delightful orations of a patriotic ma
ture ever delivered in South vest
Virginia, and only proves the Won
derful powers OF adaptabiity, and
fertility Of the master mind of the
Russell county farmer and grazier.
Before and after the address Mr..
Stuart was continually the center of
admiring groups of his fellow citi-
zens, some of whom had made sac
rlfices and come long distance TO
hear him speak.

Mr. Beecher's Farm

Mr.. BIS farm consists OF thirty six
entific principles. lie never puts in
any part of a crop without consult
ing his book. lie plows and Teaps
and digs and sows according TO the
cost more than the other farming i'm
Elements 90. AS soon as the library
is complete the farm Will begin TO
be profitable investment. But
book farming has It's draw back. Up
on one occasion when ii seemed NOR
ally certain that the hay ought to
be cut the hay book could not be
found, and before IL was found il
was too late and the hay was all
spoiled. Mr.. Beecher raises some Of
the finest crops OF wheat In the ceun-
try, but the unfavorable difference
between the cost OF producing it and
its market value after ii is produced
has interfere1 considerably with its
success as commercial enterprise.
His special weakness is hogs, how
ever. He considers hogs the best
game farm produces. He buys the
original pig for $3.50, and feeds him
about $40 worth of corn, and then
sells him for about 50. This is the
only crop he ever makes any money
on. He loses on the corn, but he
makes $3.50 OH the hog. He DIES
not mind this because he never ex-
poets to make anything on the corn
anyway. And any way 1t tIrns out,
he has the excitement of raising the
hog anyhow, whether he gets the
worth of him or not. His strawberr-
les would be a comfortable success If
the robins would eat turnips, but
they won't, and hence the difficulty.
One of MIR. Beecber's most harass-
ing difficulties in his farming opera
lions comes CT the close resemblance
Of different sorts of seeds and plants
to each other. Two years ago his far
sightedness warned him that there
was going to be a great scarcity oil
watermelons, and therefore he put in
crop of seven acres of that fruit
But when they came up they turned
out to be pumpkins and dead los,
was the consequence. Sometimes {
portion OF his crop goes into TIT
ground the most promising swee
potatoes, and comes up the most ex
cradle carrots.
When he bought his fam h
found one egg In every hens nest Of
the place. He said that here wa
just the reason why so many farmer
failed-they scattered their force
too much-concentratio wac til
idea. So he gathered those eggs to
gether, and put them all under on
experienced hen. That hen rooste
over the contract night and day fC
many weeks under Mr.. Beecher'
personal supervision, but she coul
3 not "phase" those eggs. Why's 81
cause they were those shameless pc
celain things which are used by mo

The Black Man

WAN
The black man of the south needs
a defender. His name has been cou-
pied with so many heinous crimes
that all his race has fallen under the
ban OF hate and prejudice. lie Il
not wholly bad, for beneath his ebon
skin beats n heart as loyal and trust
ing and grateful as ever stirred the
bosom of any man. The world has
forgot his virtues IN thinking only Of
his vices. There was time when
all the southland was overIun with
hostile armies and every southern
home left defenseless but f.I the
vigil OF the slave who remained IT,
Till the soil and keep watch over
helpless loved ones. This sncred
trust he never once betrayed, but
during all those years of terrible
war watched over those around The
iireside while the soldier fought foI
home and country on the field of
battle. with the dawning of peace
he shared with his master the poy.
ertY of n stricken land and hel ped
rebuild the wasted and ruined south
Al his touch the cotton fields bloom
ell again and new empire sprung
from the chaos Of the old. He is II
part of the history OF our country
lie has imbibed some of the tradl.
tions aud traits of great civilian
lion. He is courteous, kind and con-
filling. He believes and venerates
his while friend and bows TO his SUI
periority. de is trusting, simple
and superstitious. To him dreams
and COLLINS and ghosts are realities /;
phantoms and speCte-s living breath
ing things, and the spell of these
preside over his life and shape his
destiny. From n sense of the exis-
tence of these airy nothines comes
the lore, rich in Its simplicity, that
ills the pages of southern childhood.
The vicious among his race are
the exception and not the rule. 1t Is
not in his nature TO commit the
higher grades of crime. In his lonely
cabin he sings the old hymns and
dveams of God and golden slippers
and golden streets with never n
thuoght OF the morrow or its respon-
sibiilties. He believes implicitly in
the bible Dnd his faith is never
shaken by doubt or fear. His belief
i'm the ability OF the white man TO
direct his fate and fortune never
weakens TO the appeal OF prejudice
but in childlike simplicity he follow
his former masters. He fills n place
in southern history and when il is
truly written, as some day IL will
be, his simplicity and simple vir-
tues the world Will know; his child
ish lore Will find place ih the
pages of IiteraTne and fable and
fairyland will be peopled with his
characters. Some day the memory
of the old south, its grandeur and the
part the black man played in its
history will inspire the poet TO
write, in simple lays, the story OF
his enslavement, his servitude and
Liberation; the pomp and pain of
splendid feudal days followed by
light and liberty. The story will tell
the legends and superstitions of this
people and weave about 1t words OF
pathos and tenderness, shadowy and
dreamy, rejecting the past rich with
the spoils of time. II. Gardner.
