Endorsed Amendment

The st. Joseph county bar IN It's
meeting Saturday, adopted resolu~
tions favoring a constitutional amen
dment providing legal qualifications
for admission to the bar. This amen
dment is so in accordabee with JUS
tice and common sense that 1t may
be surprising to some that it was not
long ago made a part of the organic
law. The proposition was once before
the people, but failed to secure a
sufficient number of votes. The
difficulty lies In the method provided
by the constitution for its own
amendment. That such amendment
be made requires a majority OF all
the votes east at the election wheth-
err the elector votes on the PROPOSE
ton or not. The majority of the
voters are liable to pass by the eon~
st~itutional questions and are the, b.
virtually recorded against the pro %.
sition. The truth is that much of ie
constitution needs amending.

RATES ON
FREIGHT ARE
NOT HIGHER
STANLEY H. JOHNSON SAYS
AVERAGE IS LOWER THAN
TEN YEARS
AGO
Assistant Traffic Manager of Rock
Island Road Makes Declaration
to Interstate Commits
sion.

Chicago, Nov. 2,-Freight rates
average lower today than 10 years
ago, according 10 a statement made
at the rate hearing today by Stanley
I'll. johnson assistant freight traffic
manager of the Rock Island road.
Attorney Dickinson, of the Rock
Island repeating a query of Commits
sioner Lane yesterday asked Mr..
Johnson why the roads had not In
creased their rates prior to 1906
when they had the opportunity to de-
so without interference. There were
two good reasons, witness said.
"In the first place. he declared
"the state railway commissioners of
Missouri and Texas, we're an obstacle
Secondly. the railways were engage
ed in very active competition at the
time.'
Mr.. johnson said the railroads
were better off in the matter of Sc
curing full legal rates than they were
prior to the enactment Of the Hep
burn law, when rebating was a COM
mon practice. Commissioner Lane
asked If rates were lower under CON-
petition than under governmental
regulation.
Taking everything into considera
ton" replied the witness "the
shippers today are securing lower
rates than they did 10 years ago"
Increased revenue witness said,
twas due to increased volume of
business. Some rates are higher and
some lower than 10 years ago, but
the average, he said, is lower. He
cited the increased cost Of supplies
and. labor as justifying increased
rates.
1t is hoped to conclude the hearing
of evidence tonight or tomorrow.
Arguments are scheduled to begin at
Washington, Dec. IA, and in due
fine the interstate commerce com.
mission will announce whether the
rate advances asked by the railroads
are fair and reasonable.

sides.

body else interested
Such a young man cannot fail to
make a good county officer and he
should receive the votes of all who

BELLWETHER
MINE JUMPED
Bright Estate Victim of
Peculiar Act of III. ID.
Emerson

A ripple of excitement was created
last Tuesday on account of the attempt
to jump the Bellwether or Bright mine,
belonging to the estate of S. w. Bright,
which is now in course of probate.
On that day II. D. Emerson, accom-
panied by two others, repaired to the
grounds, and staked off claims, and
posted two location notices, and had the
same placed on record. All sorts of
rumors were afloat as soon as the facts
became known; the question was asked
on every hand what this strange action
meant, and who were the moving spirits
in the scheme. lnasmuch as the stakes
were packed from the Ledger office,
we deem it Necessary to state that
we were entirely ignorant Of any inten-
tion to locate the mine, that we do not
approve of the act, had nothing whatever
to do with its conception or execution.
Furthermore we denounce the act as a
move bordering on insanity, and
perpetrated from motives which are
anything but commemorate.
The mine in question was sold by the
administrator recently, and the con-
firmation of the sale comes up before
the superior court tomorrow. From this
it would seem that the impelling m olive
was to influence the bidding at the
sale-in other words to prejudice the
disposition of the property by throwing
cloud over the title. The excuse put
forward for the Jumping act is that the
mine is held under a townsite deed.
The deed was granted in early days, and
the property has been peaceably held
under it ever since, and no question
as to its validity was raised until now.
The consensus of opinion is that the
location will have no other effect than
the initial surprise created. Reports
are current that parties are prepared
to bid at the sale tomorrow, with view
to the development of the mine, and that
they are not likely to be scared by this
foolish attempt to Jump it.
Mr.. Detert, Supt. of the Ziela mine
was interviewed regarding the Bell
wether affair and expressed his utmost
contempt for the act When told that
rumor was circulated to the effect that
he was interested in the case. he en-
phaticaly denied he was ever previously
on the subject.

H. S. Cobb, charged with felony in

answer before the superior court, with
bonds fixed at $1,000. Failing to give
bonds he is is held in the county jail.
He is willing to contribute toward the
support of the destitute children if given
a chance. The grandmother Of the
children made the complaint for the
purpose Of forcing him. to support
them, and not with the idea of sending
him to state prison. 1t is likely that
he will plead guilty, and be paroled,
as the only practicable method of
getting support for the children. The
defendant is painter by trade, and can
easily earn money enough to maintain
himself and family, we're it not for a
