LOOK FOR HIGHER RATES.
Expected That Southern Roads viii
Follow Western Lines.

Washington, June 5.-An increase
in freight rates by railroads in the
Southeast Is confidently looked for by
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion and leading railroad lawyers
here. Though nothing could be got
ten today showing positively that this
would be done. there are indications
that the roads are preparing to take
care of themselves in the matter.
The belief is that before long the
roads in the Southeast will file with
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion notices Of increases, and that in
doing so the roads will take the posi-
ton that their decision to give in
creased wages to their help has made
the higher freight rates necessary.
At the Interstate Commerce Com
mission offices no official word has
been received concerning increase Of
rates in the South. but it is we'll un-
derstood that if such notices come in
tney VIII cause no surprise to the
commission. The Southern roads have
not showed up rates recently as have
the roads in other parts of the coun-
try At the same time there is no
doubt the roads in Southeast terri
tory are behind the Eastern and
Western roads with respect to amount
OF earnings. Some Of the Southern
roads are poor. 1t was stated today

as Bismark and other Germans wish
ed to crush France in 1870. these
Englishmen wish to crush Germany
now. They think the surest way to
bring about the conflict is to deceive
the English people about the military
intentions Of Germany, as shown in
the construction of a fleet Of battle
ships. We do not think it an exag.
geration to say that the British ma
ton is being Systematically lied to
about Germany, and that If that lying
could be stopped there would be no
little chance of a war between the
two nations.
In this country we have some pub
lie men and a few newspapers which
have persistently sought to instill un-
truths into the minds of the Ameri-
can people about the people and the
government Of Japan. No matter how
many trustworthy and respected
Americans. like former Vice Presi-
dent Fairbanks may come home and
report that the japanese are resolutely
determined to remain at peace with
the United States, no matter how Of
ten the leaders of Japan may reiter-
ate their great desire for and need of
peaceful relations with this country.
the agitators who believe they can
fool the majority Of Americans about
this matter keep up their falsifica-
tons, and that they do succeed i'm
misleading many minds cannot be
denied.
War is hen, as General Sherman
said, but was is even more illusion,
There are the illusions that help to
bring about war and the illusions of
victory. 1t is we'll known now that
1t was utterly needless for the United
States to go to war with Spain in
1898 in order to secure the inde-
pendence of Cuba. General Wood
ford, who was our minister to Spain
when the war was declared, is a good
enough witness in attestation of that
fact. Then what Illusion followed

Kettle Hill and another in Manila Bay

But how we have exalted the .'he-

So we say, teach the world how to
detect lie and to abhor it, and you

HOW TO SECURE PEACE.
Stop Lying About Other Nations
Find Out Truth and Tell IT.

(From the Hartford TimesD
There are several ways of conserv-
ing and assuring peace between all
the nations of the earth. The best
and simplest way of all is for nations
as well as individuals to cultivate the
habit of telling the truth. in order
that it may be told. Back of every
great war there are racial riyalries
and hatreds, but back of every great
war there is also usually to be found
a mass of falsehood and deceit. Some
OF the greatest military heroes the
world has known have been incorrig-
ible liars and cheats-Napoleon Bon
aparte the greatest of them ALL
The war of 1901 between France
and Germany was preceded by some
very shady work on the part of the
statesman at Berlin, who was most
influential in precipitating that tre-
mendous struggle. His excuse for his
deceit was that only a smashing VIC
tory over the French nation, still un-
der the enchantment of the Napo-
leonic conquests, could unite the Ger
man people and bring about an en-
during peace. Events have verified
that calculation, although on two or
three occasions since 1870 the gov
crnment at Berlin has been on the
verge Of ar attempt to repeat the
smashing process.
Rismark altered the wording Of
kilograms received by him in order
to deceive the old emperor and the
German people and put them into &
warlik mood. He owned up TO it all
afterwards, when success could be
held to justify the trick. He held that
war was inevitable and that the soon
err it was fought-after the Germans
were fully ready for 1.-THE better.
We need not search the pages of
history for similar instances. There
are plenty of them. There are two
possible wars in the world now "in
the making" One Of them may como
between Great Britain and Germany.
There is no liar at the head of the
Germans now, but what do we see
on the Otehr side of the North Sea?
The British people are being system
atically misled by some of their pub
lie men, some Of their newspapers
and some of their magazines. There
Is scheme in England to crush the
splendid mercantile marine Of Ger
many and to administer a tremendous
blow to the rapidly growing industries
Of Germany. Here and there an Eng
lishman, like Lord Northcliffe, who
controls the London Times, is blunt
enough to let that fact be seen. Just

lie Comes Out For Poindexter Who IA
A Candidate for the Senate From
Washington.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 5.-Theo-
dore Roosevelt made it clear today.
not by direct statement but by impli-
cation so strong that it admits of no
misinterpretation, that he will sup
port Representative Miles Poindexter
ir his fight for a seat in the United
States senate from the State of Wash
irgton. They had luncheon together
and conference at Sycamore Hill
today. and Mr. Poindexter departed
jrbilant.
In :ndorsing Poindexter for the
senate. Col Roosevelt places himself
square'y in opposition to Richard A.
8hE!n-er secretary of the interior,
whom President Taft has so warmly
defended. and it Is the only stand he
has taken bearing directly or indi-
recsly on the Ballinger- Pinchot con-
| troversy.
Mr.. Poindexter Is opposed to Mr..
3allingei. He hopes to succeed Sem
ator Piles of Washington. who is now
seeking another term. Mr.. Piles has
been identified with the Ballinger
wing of the party. Mr.. Poindexter
and Mr.. Ballinger are from the same
locality, Seattle.
After the conference Mr.. Poindex-
ter said
| II found Col. Roosevelt unchang-
ed. He Is just the same as ever. He
and have worked together always
and he assured me that we always
would work together. am delighted
with the result of the visit"
Col. Roosevelt spoke Of his talk
with Mr.. Poindexter in manner
which plainly showed the pleasure
which the meeting had given him.
This is what he had to say:
Representative Poindexter and 1
went over the political situation in
the senate. He assured me that he
was In hearty sympathy with my con-
servation policy.
"Mr. Poindexter is a candidate for
the United States senate and is op-
posed to that wing Of the party head
ed by Mr.. Ballinger the secretary of
the interior"
That is all he wanted put in quota
tion marks. He indicated, however,
that he had given assurance to Mr..
Poindexter that he would support
him In his attempt to succeed Sena-
tor Piles.
Coincidentally Secretary Ballinger
and Mr.. Taft had a conference at
Beverly today in which they discuss
ed the reclamation service. There Mr.
Ballinger denied with emphasis a ru-
NOR that he was to resign. "I am
no gutter and never have been" he
said.
! Miles Poindexter is an out and out
insurgent when the people of the
State of Washington elected on a rad
ical platform. He has been firm
supporter of Roosevelt policies, espe-
cially as relates to conservation OF
natural resources.
At luncheon with the colonel they
discussed the Ballinger- Pinchot oc-
currence in detail in the course Of
their talk on the political status Of
the Northwest.
