WILL REMOVE
THE FRICTION
Railroad Rate Bill Will Har.
monize Interests of Car
riers and Shippers.

Chicago, June 26.-Attoraey General
Wickersham. in his address at the
banquet of the Illinois Bar association
last night, expressed the opinion that
under the operation of the new rail-
road rate law, much of the antagon-
ism between shippers and carriers
would be removed and be conducive to
greater stability in railroad securi-
ties. Mr.. Wickersham. said in part:
"Just and reasonable rates for the
carriage of freight. without unjust dis
elimination, is subject which touches
every business Man directly, and every
man indirectly; and it is not only es-
sential that the rates and practices
Of carriers should be just and reason
able, but that the community as q
whole should feel that they are just
and reasonable.
1.-THE contest in congress. which re-
suited In the enactment of the new
law, has been between two principles
Of government i regulation; one prac-
ticable. the other impracticable. In
the last analysis, governmental regu-
lation means the consideration and
determination of questions by a GER
tain number of individuals. and the
breaking point comes when too much
fs required of he individuals appoint
cd to the task.
"The bill proposed by the govern
ment and finally enacted, empowered
the interstate commerce commission
when, in it's opinion, upon prima
facie consideration, any proposed in
crease in rates or change in classifi-
cations or reg Ilations seemed to be
unfair or unwarranted, to postpone
the actual taking effect of such in
crease or change until 1t had been
thoroughly Investigated.
"The opposing theory proposed to
require the commission to investigate
every proposed change and determine,
in advance, whether or not 1t should
take effect before 1t became operative.
Considering that upwards of two hun
dred thousand schedules of changes
= rates. etc.. are filed every year. it

he had promised, if elected governor, that he would take the capitol mat ter out of politics. He had nan ed one Republican at a salary of SIP a month, and there were four Demo- crats on the commission drawing the same pay.
 He would not, he said, appoint any Republican to a political office of any kind, and had refused to do so since he had been in office. He declared that when United States Senator James P. Clarke was governor of the state, he appointed this same Rem- mell a member of the state board of charities and on the same day named Judge William Kayanaugh sheriff of Pulaski county. Kavanaugh found no fault, whatever, with Governor Clarke for appointing a Republican, but hastened to send to Kentucky for his little brother" e. c. Kav- anaugh, now opposing Donaghey for the nomination), to come and help eat the pie, and he came and was sworn in as deputy under his brother before he had taken time to change his socks.
 "I have lived 35 years in Faulkner county. That county has been a dry county for many years, and worked as hard as any man to make it dry. have never voted any other than the dry ticket, and I never in- tend to.
 The speech was delivered in a clear, even tone and with every show of intense earnestness. He has de veloped into a very able speaker, and his manner was such as to deeply impress his audience with full and thorough conviction of his absolute honesty and sincerity. He handled his critics without gloves. using the curry comb unsparingly and at time: took off both the hide and the hail of his traducers. It was complete "a crushing answer to every near charge that has been brought against him and there is no sort of doubt that his campaign throughout the state will arouse the people to en thusiasm, as well as righteous indig nation against the Little Rock gang and result in the governors trium phant re-nomination by an over whelming majority.

 "Now here is the connection De- tween good breathing and exercise. In order to be good breather 1t IS necessary to have sufficient lung capacity. Suitable exercise broad ems. and deepens the chest, gives freer capacity to the lungs and bet ter fits them for their important task of supplying oxygen to the body and relieving it of the deadly carbonic acid.

The Shame of Arkansas.

Every time we read of new out break by Senator Jeffries Davis of Arkansas, the wonder grows that the people of any state should send such man to represent them in the highest branch of Congress. His fool utterances on various occasions have certainly not been calculated to place Arkans IS before the world in a very favorable light and it is cer- tainly to be hoped the people of that state will realize their mistake and refuse to return him to the senate when his present term expires. Davis and Heyburn are two men who have no place in Congress or in any other public position. Sentinel, Winston-Salem, N. c.

The people of Cove have secured an institution that will bring pros perity in that fine little town and the people in the vicinity, and are to be most sincerely congratulated. The success is an example of what a little union of effort can accomplish.
 This Cove enterprise does not in any way make the success of a creamery in Mena impractical, and the example set by the enterprising people of the former town is we'll worth following.

 Dear mistress, here are more u') Five kittens, each q fluffy love,
 So innocent and dear, And only one may bide with us,

Demoralizing the Service.

The testimony of H. T. Jones, the special agent associated with l.. R. Glavis in collecting evidence on the Cunningham claims, emphasizes one bad result that followed the hand- ling of the Glavis case. It was to be expected that the discharge of an agent who had been particularly active in blocking land grabs would take the heart out of such work in the future. Mir. Jones testified that Glavis' successor undoubtedly has mismanaged the Cunningham cases. When asked why he had not reported the mismanagement he replied that it might have been regarded as characterization"
 There is plenty ot evidence that it was generally believed in the North west that the land grabbers were to have their inning under the present administration. Powerful interests opposed Garfield. He was not re- appointed. They favored Ballinger. He got the job. They were blocked by Glavis. He was removed.
 Is 1t any wonder that the govern ment service which must be depend ed on to protect the public domain is demoralized ?--Kansas City Star.

Coy. Donaghey Talks Back.

Governor Donaghey made speech at Texarkana Saturday night. Of this the Texarkanian says:
 As his friends expected, he made a clear. straightforward, earnest address. dispelling every charge that his traducers had brought against him. He said he had made some promises two years ago, and he would now give an account of his stewardship. He said that the pec- pie of Little Rock had found out that he was very bad proposition. He had lived forty years at Conway in Faulkner county, and at the last primary he had received all but 90 votes of the 5000 cast. So the Lit tie Rock gang of ward politicians had found out more about him in fourteen months than Faulkner county had in forty years.
 There is a crowd at Little Rock, !" continued the governor, who as soon as they ascertain they can't use an officer will go after him to the limit of their power ard make all efforts to destroy him. I want you people to examine the records of the men who are fighting me and then you will have no trouble in de- ciding who is right. they or I.v
