ally inclement March 4th to the last

months later. and to a time of year

NEWS FROM
WASHINGTON

The administration railroad bill,
adopted after three weeks discussion,
has been the most mrbrsant legisla
tive event Of the week, or perhaps OF
the session. There Ia much discus
sion in political and legislative
groups with reference to the effect
OF the bill. The regular Republicans
snsist that it reenscls che present
law IN regard to the long and short
haul The Democrats zee in It much
progress Ia The right direeti0n. The
insqrgenis are evidently .disappoint
ed With the bill as passed. II IS. how
ever, evident from. the bill thatEtbe
burden is shifted from the shipper
to she railroad in the malten sot long
and shori haul rates Under the
terms Of the bill as passed, the rail
road win have. TO satisfy ihe Inters
state Commerce Commission that the
rates are equiinble and not unduly
discriminatorg Under the present.
Law, this burden has been upon the
shipper, who has had to oppose the
long and short haul rates upon ,rhe
ground Of their unreasonableness
The Insurgents are satisfrd with
this feature Of the bill and are claim
ing q victory as far as il goes. The
long and short haul feature OF
the bill was introduced by Senator
DIXON OF Montana and his amend
ment made Il unlawful for any com.
mon carrier to charge more for .
short haul than for a long haul when
the short haul is included within the
long haul There was, however, Q
clause to the effect that by applica-
tion 10 the Interstate Commerce Con
mission, the common carrier might
In some cases be authorized by th,
Commerce Commission to charge les
for q longer than for shorter die
tance. The passage Of this amend
ment emphasizes what has long beer
evident with references to adj legisla
tion, that little direct and positiv,
progress can be made and that all eI
actments in closely contested bill
are the result OF a series of cOmpro
misses and that very seldom radica
or important changes are enacted

Sad Drowning Accident

Eight young people, six girls and
two Boys were drowned last week in
a small mill pond near Wilkes Barre.
They went out in two boats six in
each, anil in frolicking around in ono
Of them it began leaking and a panic
among the inmates caused it 20 cap

rescue and it was seized by those in.
tho water and upset. The twelve
struggled in the water and only four
escaped. All were high school
pupils between the ages Of Is snd Is.
Statistics show that IN proportion 70
the number who go out boating or
go in swimming more are lost than
In tho mines or In railroad accidents.
The casualties are many and often
arise from the fact that the parties
cannot swim. This A. an important
part la the sducation Of ang who
venture on water. In many places
swimming tanks are being built In
school houses and teaching Of swim
ming is a part of the training. When
il is contemplated how many lose
their lives by not being able to swim
the lesson becomes impressive. Too
often carelessness and thoughtlessness
impeIils the lives OF those in boats
and If the occupants cannot be
taught discretion they should have
the means Of protecting themselves
from their own and the folly Of

The French minister Of agriculture
has issued an appeal to the farmers Of
his country urging them to use goads
with blunter points in driving theii
cattle. But not because the SHARP
steelpointed goads are cruel; he says
nothing about cruelty; he does moi
suggest that these pricks hurt the cat
tie. No; he bases his appeal on com
plant from the American Chamber OF
Commerce in Paris that farmers and
leather merchants find so many hides
spoiled by the littls holes made by the
sharp goads that as high as 60 pei
cent. of some consignments have been
rejected. And thus may business &C
complish work OF mercy which socie
ties for the prevention of cruelty to
animals have failed to bring about
