SENATOR RAYNER.

Few men in Congress have been better
friends of the District than Isidor Rayner.
and his reelection as Senator from Mary
land is a matter Of general congratulation.
Although not a member of the Senate Dis
trict Committee, Senator Rayner has never
paused where there was chance TO help
the District He has always taken the
broad view that the city should be main
tanned on a scale proportionate TO its po-
sition as the capital Of great republic.
Neither the nation nor the Democratic
party could afford to lose Senator Rayner
from the public service. Able and upright,
a staunch Democrat. he is always on
guard, always fearless and outspoken,
and always patriotic. His partisanship is
not narrow, nor is his viewpoint limited
to the interests of his State alone. He is
a host of strength to his party, but his
chief strength is when he speaks as an
American, standing above party.
1t is a matter of congratulation that
lsidsr Rayner is to remain in the United
States Senate Washington Post

THE MEAT BOYCOTT.

The meat abstainers in Cleveland have
succeeded in forcing down the price Of
pork chops from 70 to II cents per pound,
and are much encouraged. Their plan
Of 3o-day boycott has found imitators in
other Ohio towns and in Omaha and Mil
waukee. 1t WILL no doubt, if followed
up. lead the Meat Trust to enlarge its
facilities for cold storage and to send
larger shipments of surplus stock to out
side markets. Concessions are mainly
obtained from local dealers who are COM
PEELED to get rid of stocks on hand.
A saner method Of compulsion upon
the part of meat eaters, which would re-
suit in benefit to their health no less than
their pockets, would be to resolutely abb
stain from eating meat more than once a
day from this time on, and to band to-
gether to procure the free entry into the
country OF cattle from Canada and Mexico.
In both of these neighboring countries
not only beef, pork, mutton and dairy
products, but other stuffs, are selling at
moderate prices as compared with cold
storage rates in the United States. To
successfully boycott our Trusts we must
carry the war into the ballot-box.

WILL THE CONSUMER CON-
BINE?

1t is not necessary TO guess how impor-
tant will be the effect of the meat strike.
which now appears TO be spreading rap
idly over the country. The strikers may
be in earnest, or there may be much talk,
but little resolute action as in the case Of
the cotton growers combinations, which
vowed to burn certain percentage of the
big crop of few years ago, and which, if
we mistake not, actually did burn one
bale But what ever the course of the
strike" may be, the movement is signi-
ficant as the first considerable attempt at
Joint action on the part of consumers.
While producers have been uniting to
control or regulate" prices-we believe
regulate is the less offensive Worthwhile
trusts have been forming, while even
farmers have been uniting into cotton.
tobacco and grain growers associations
to limit the supply OF. produce, while lab
orers have been getting together to agree
among themselves how much labor they
would sell and how much they would de-
mand for it, the consumer has gone on
serenely Indifferent to what was being
done by those who supplied his wants.
Now something has happened to his
pocketbook VIII he, TOO, initiate his
enemy and form combinations?-NeV

fad, which will be heavy burden upon
the taxpayers, and the unfortunate in
sane will be but little better of, and there
will be no more cures than there are at
present.
The vast majority of the durable insane
are taken care OF, treated and cured by
their relatives and not sent TO the State
and county asylums at all.
There is nothing in all this talk about
the insane being better cared for in large
State Institutions than they are in the
smaller county institutions. In the large
State Institutions they are cast among
so many, whereas in the county institu-
tons there are only a few and all get
proper attention and none are over
looked Besides they are close to home
and their relatives and friends can look
after and see them often, which is great
consideration. And again, unlike in a
large institution. their friends can have
access 10 them at any time of the day.
Then again if this large appropriation
is made it will have to be followed up
every year by a large increase in the
annual appropriation to these institutions.
We think it wiser, better and more
economical to let each county take care
fits own insane, as at present. We are
confident that Frederick county does
now, and will always properly house and
care tenderly for its own insane, and
our own physicians are now and will
always be Just as able to attend to and
cure those who can be cured as are any
of the doctors in the State institutions.

PRESIDENT TAFT's special message TO
Congress recommending certain amend
ments to the Inter State Commerce Law.
and the enactment of a Federal Incorpo-
ration Law is not model of constr1c-
ton. Its turgid sentences lack CLARITY
but they convey to the casual reader
with sufficient clearneSS the fact that
neither the railroads nor the trusts have
any cause to fear a trust busting outbreak
upon the part of Mr.. Roosevelt's sue
cessor Nothing would please the bad"
trusts more than to see a Federal Incor-
poration Law enacted that would place
them beyond the regulation of the State
governments. And nothing would be
worse for the interests of the common
people than for the States to be de-
prived Of the regulation OF corporations
doing business within their borders.
Then, indeed. would the trusts have the
people wholly at their mercy.

The report of the Postmaster General
OF Canada is very interesting and ilumi-
mating in view of the efforts of President
Taft and Postmaster-Gener Hitchcock
to blame the United States postal de-
ticit upon newspaper and magazine pub
fishers. Canada is a country of vast
area and meager population, and it
should naturally cost a great deal more
proportionately to transport newspapers
or any other class of mail matter in the
Dominion than it does in the United
States But there is no postal deficit IN
Canada-on the contrary the surplus for
the year was $500, 1854. Furthermore
the second class rate has been reduced
from one-half cent a pound to one
fourth OF cent pound-just one-quarter
ofthe rate periodicals in the United States
are paying, and which rate the President
DEGREES as a subsidy to the pub
fishers, And in addition to this, news
papers are carried in the Canadian
mails free for a distance not exceeding
10 miles Of publication. The Canadian
Postmaster Generals report is an indict-
ment of the graft and corruption rampant
in the postal affairs of this country. If
newspapers can be carried by the gov
eminent profitably for quarter of a
cent pound in sparsely settled COun
try like Canada, why should it cost nine
centa pound to carry the same class of
mail in the United States, as the Presi-
dent and Postmaster General maintain
is the cost of the service in the United
States?

Nav Y"RK's new Mayor. Mr.. Cav.
nor, starts in well. His list of appoint
ments TO the CITY offices is devoid of
political hacks. and while his appointees
are all Democrats, even the Republican
press Of New York. which so violently
assalled him in his campaign, are unable
to pick flaws in the new Mavor's selec-
tons Tammamy evidently has a lean
tour years in prospect. There is but one
lammany man among Mr.. Gavnors

wholly to paying his dues.

The white light OF publicity is shining
upon the New York State Republican
leaders with uncomfortable intensity at
the present time. Lieutenant-Governor
Horace White is exposed in scanda.
lous relations with the insurance looters
and Senator Aids, Just elected floor
leader TO succeed Senator Raines. is
charged by fellow legislator with hav-
ing accepted brides to influence legisla-
ton. From this it would appear that
all Of the political wickedness in New
York is not confined to Tammany Hall.

DETkIr, Michigan. and Windsor,
Ontario, are but stones throw apart
But Detroit is in the United States and
Windsor is in Canada, the two cities
being separated only by the Saint Clair,
River and therefore it costs IS per cent
more to live in Detroit than in Windsor.
The Detroit house wife who pays 36
cents pound for butter and ~ cents a
dozen for eggs could walk across the
bridge and get the same quantity of
articles in Windsor for IS cents and "a
cents, but as she would have to pay a
tariff tax on them before she would be
permitted to bring the Canadian pro-
ducts into this country she would profit
but very little by the transaction. In De-
troit the cheapest cuts of beef cost 10
cents a pound, while in Windsor the
same are sold for 81 cents per pound;
mess pork costs 20 cents in Detroit and
IS cents IN Windsor; bacon is "a cents in
Detroit, bnt only 10 cents in Windsor
What blessed thing the tariff is but
not for the house wife on the family.
