JIMMY" TREHY NOMINATES
AN INSURGENT.

The champion long distance Congress
sionaI convention has finally broken
its deadlock, nominated its candidate,
and adjourned. 1t was composed of
delegates representing the Democratic
voters of the Second district of Vir-
ginia, where insurgency has reared
tits head and made bid for public at
tention from the Old Dominion. On
the 5O2d ballot, State Senator E. E.
Holland was nominated, after Ike con
ventiOn had worn itself weary through
three days session.
Thus insurgency apparently makes
a noteworthy gain in Virginia. The
reactionary candidates are beaten, the
young Democrats" of Norfolk, who
started the revolt against the Martin
machine, may be expected to redOuble
their energies in their campaign of
political house-cleaning. A step to-
ward political decency and good gov
eminent seems to have been taken.
Holland is said to be thoroughly indie
pendent, of high purposes, and well
qualified to serve as a leader in the
Democratic insurgent movement.
Oddly enough, however, Hollands
nomination was made possible by
Jimmy" Trehy, the Democratic boss
of Norfolk, one Of the big men in Sen
ator Martins "offce holders trust
Trehy's candidate was William a.
Young, one OF the men discredited in
the recent, "ghostly" primaries, at
which dead men voted. When Trehy
discovered, after sol ballots, that he
could not nominate Young, be threw
the bulk of the Young vote to Holland
making the Suffolk senator the choice
of the convention.
Friends of political and economic
progress who have been watching the
fight in Virginia and hoping that the
incipient insurgency there is genuine
will be glad to have early evidence that
Senator Holland was not IN any com
bination with Trehy, and that, although
nominated through Trehy's influence
he will not be subservient to the in
terests which Trehy represents.

Republican candidate for governor IN

Mr.. Wickersham's letter is a tribute
to a faithful public servant. The Re
publican candidate for governor in New

Government, with a record of which
any man might justly be proud. That
record demonstrates not only his ability

corruptiOn-a determination that may
well chill the hearts of grafters and
petty politicians who thrive upon State

Menace in Dust.

To the Editor OF The Washington Times:
Why Is II that the hundreds Of men
and women who go TO work at . o'clock
In this city must be bombarded each
morning with clouds Of dust and debris
as they pass along the street? Tht
accepted time for sweeping the side
walks in front OF the various shops
and stores seems to be from about $50
until 9 O'Clock, when the streets are
full OF people.

IS here that they have reduced II to

are directly in front OF him, and then
calmly pushes a cloud around your

In the Mail Bag
The New Republic.

To the Editor OF The Washington Times:
For the last few days the press Of
our country, and of the world, has given
much publicity to the revolution IN
Portugal. the exile Of King Manuel, and
the founding OF a new republic.
One writer In New York paper Views
the situation as a transition from
darkness, ignorance. deprayity. and
superstition, into the light Of civiliza-
ton" But we read n the calm and
convincing report by a correspondent Of
the London ChrOnicpc, who says and
clearly proves that the uprising is not
the wishes of the people, but that 1t Is
only the fruit Of the labors of a small
body Of men. who, under shrewd leader
ship, took advantage Of an opportune
moment to strike terror into the people
and thus caused the overthrow Of
Manuel
Portugal is now ruled by the reyolu-
tionists. whose motto" 3 liberty for
all people" Now, .after gaining and
controlling power, what was the first
thing these impostors did? Why, they
issued an official edlct ordering all
members OF religious orders TO leave
the country In twenty-four hours.
Where is your liberty, the greatest OF
all liberty. the liberty OF free worship?
II this new government wishes 70 sue
coed 1t must watch its every move, and
II must rule with an iron hand. Por-
tugal viii probably remain a republic,
but not because the people want il; as
Manuel said in his own story Of the

may accept the republic forced upon
them, rather than have any more blood
shed. but it will be against their will %

AN ILLUMINATING CASE OF
RATE REGUL ALTON.

An illuminating example of the
methods by which we have been strug-
Cling along in our efforts to regulate
freight rates is offered through the
announcement OF the United States
Supreme Court on Monday last that it
would not give a rehearing in the So
called Mississippi Missouri rate cases.
In the winter of 1908 the Burnham,
hanna, Munger Dry Goods Company
Of Kansas City, with other shippers
of Kansas City, st. Joseph, Omaha, and
Sioux City, petitioned the Interstate
Commerce Commission for a reduction
in the class freight rates between Mis-
sissippi river crossing points and Mis-
souri, river cities on shipments origi-
mating on the Atlantic coast.
The commission heard the complaints
and the answers of the railroads, and
on August 25, 1908, ordered the reduc-
tons. The order specified that the lower
rates should remain in effect two years,
at the end OF which time the commits
sion hoped TO be able to ascertain, by
observing the experience of shippers
and carriers, whether the rates were
just.
The railroads, however, circumvent-
ed this plan. They appealed to the
courts-and in the meantime charged
and collected the old rates. The case
was fought along through the court
of appeals and the Supreme Court. Last
Saturday the twO-year time limit for
The lower rates ended. On Monday
the Supreme Court made final DISPOSE
tion of the case by refusing a rehear-
ing on its opinion, rendered last spring,
upholding the original order of the
Commission
We find, therefore, that the reduc-
tons were just. It was proper that
the Interstate Commerce Commission
should order them. 1t was unjust to
the shipper for the railroads TO charge
what they were charging. The Su-
preme Court of the United States says
so, and its word is final
But, as a matter of fact, the reduc-
tons were never made. The railroads
have been collecting the old rates just
the same, and the order of the Commits
sion is now dead letter.
The only direct benefit which the
shipper can derive from the two years
of litigation is the privilege of suing
the railroads for that portion of the
rates held 70 be excessive, but paid
by him during two years. As be would
have TO establish separate claim for
every shipment, and as he would have
TO stand ready TO carry his suits &c
the Supreme Court, it's not difficult tC
estimate how much he viii attempt tC
recover by this method
Fortunately, the railroads are nc
