Louisville, KY, Jan. 1.-THE ice
gorge at Wolf creek on the Ohio river
remains almost solid as granite and
today the jammed ice extends from
Louisville to Brandenburg, a distance
Of seventy miles. With this massive
barrier holding back the water and a
heavy rainfall in the Ohio valley,
losses from flood are imminent. The
river reached the flood stage at Louis
vile today. The gorge is said to be
the most tremendous on record in the
Ohio valley.

Special TO Lne NEW MeAloetA'
Washington, D. c., Jan. 17.-The
enabling act to admit New Mexico
and Arizona to statehood passed the
House this afternoon, mainly through
the efforts of Delegate to Congress
w. H. Andrews and his friends. 1t is
understood that President Taft has
paved the way for it through the
Senate and that it will encounter no
serious opposition there, even Senator
Beveridge being ready to give his
consent for the passage of the bill
New Mexico might as well get ready
to hold it's constitutional convention
early this summer" said one Senator
to the New Mexican's correspondent
'for Congress is anxious to get rid OF
the Territory as quickly as possible.
The only amendment that is likely to
be made is that fixing the capital at
Santa Fe to 1920 Or 1925, instead OF
1915, Delegate Andrews is working
very hard to bring this about as he
has the kindliest of feeling for the cap
ital city of the Territory and has al
ways done everything in his power to
advance it's interests.
Passes in an Hour.

Washington, D. c., Jan. lit was

purport. Hamilton, Republican, ano
Lloyd, Democrat, as well as Delegate
Cameron, Republican, of Arizona

the passage of the bill and were Civ
en- leave to extend their remarks IL
the Congressional Record. The bill
was thus passed in the space of al
hour.

founders to be more honored in the

This is not the time to consider
whether the one government or the
other is the more responsible for this
condition. For the claim is that in
any event efficiency is sacrificed in
the dual form of government, and
that in the interest of business pros
perity efficiency is of greater import
ance than all else.
There is no political government
on earth so efficient as the govern
ment of the United States Steel Cor
poration from purely business stand
point. Every step it takes is in obe-
dience to master mind. But it may
safely be said that no one would be
willing to have our government thus
managed, however, much national
wealth might be augmented each year.
1--WE are ambitious, it is true, for
wealth and the comfort it brings, but
we have not yet lost our faith in the
proposition that the object of gov
ernment is the greatest good to the
greatest number. 1t is desirable
therefore now, as it was in the be-
ginning, that we should endure a less
efficient form of government in or
der to avoid the greater evils which
would otherwise arise"

TAET COMES DOWN.

Sometimes events happen fast
enough to make an impression on
even a judicial temperament.
Harken to the announcement from
Beverly to the effect that progress
sives and reactionaries will hereafter
all look alike to the presidential eye
when the president is parceling out
federal patronage.
The fact that this announcement
was mdae at Beverly a few hours af-
ter the election results in this state
were made known indicates that
Poindexter's nomination was the last
straw which broke the reactonary
back.
1t was a humliating thing for a
president to do; no amount OF let
ter writing on the part of his secre-
tary can cover up the fact that it
was a "come down" for the chief ex-
ecutive of the nation. But it had to
be done. The president made ri
diculous blunder when he announced
that he would withdraw all federal
patronage from progressive republic
cans; it was bad business and bad
politics. Having made the mistake,
the president had to rectify It.
The latest announcement rom
Beverly Is 1raught with mucn sIgnfi-
canoe. II means that the president
of the United States has recognized
insurgency, and when the titular
head of the republican party recog-
nizes a faction the faction ceases to

PROPOSE FLAT RATE
FOR SHIPPERS

Does this interest you? If so,
plug for it. If opposed to 1t, speak"
Such is the opening claim of an
article In the issue of the Chicago
Fruit Bulletin of Sept. 8. IN which
lows:
application has been made by the
Bulletin today to the interstate COM
merce commission to pass upon the
following question. and if possible
have it become effective as follows:
On and after 80. day of ....,
A. d. 49,. any person, firm OF COR
poration engaged in the handling Of
perishable fruits. vegetables and pro-
duce and who may desire to handle,
buy or sell and such fruits, vegeta-
hles and produce. and who may de-
sire to handle, buy or sell any such
fruits, vegetables or produce either at
private sale or through a public IL
censed auction house, shall have the
privilege of removing from any car
of fruits, vegetables or produce Il
sample of not to exceed one hundred
packags of the same, to a convenient
place not to exceed one mile from
where the cars stand when such sam
pie is taken. and display such sam
piles in manner that may enable said
handler, buyer or seller to engage in
trade and dispose of the balance of
the car to such person or persons as
sales may be effected. If buyer
purchases the entire car, together
with the sample displayed. he or they
as the case may be shall have the
right, if he so elects, to have the own
er replace the sample back in the
car, in as near the same condition as
he found the car before removing the
sample, when any such car, placed in
it's original condition. it shall be con-
sidered and looked upon the same
as car before sample was taken, and
such cars shall enjoy the same rights
and privileges, such as through rates,
additional charges. etc. and be subject
to the tariff rulings in effect at the
time.
There is only one source that will
oppose this proposition and that Is
the railroads. But if packers of cold
storage products can ship a car from
its loading station unload the con-
tents of the car in cold storage
plant in Chicago and thirty days
hence reship that car on a through
rate, is there any power on earth
that can deprive the fruit and produce
dealers from securing a condition
that will help their business and
give them som ething they are justly
entitled to? You are allowed to put
a wagonload OF goods on wagon or
platform and make examinations.
What's the difference if you haul that
same sample to a place where you can
display? 1t is elective with the buy
er if he wants to buy his goods that
way, and its for them both to be
satisfied with the deal. Much more
business could be consummated if this
privilege be granted. If you are with
it, or not against it, your support is
needed. Ask for what you want and
get all you can get, especially from
the railroads. You Will pay enough.

purporting to come from Beverly and
announcing that President Taft had

candidate in 1912 to make way for

1t was decided not to dignity the
story, which is reported to be with
out foundation, with a statement.
1t can be said that there has been
no change in President Tafts atti-

a number of frienos a few months
ago that he would accept a second
nomination If his party desired, The
president, it is said, is not considering
his chance for a second term at this
