The Pullman Rates.

In its decision on the Pullman service
rates the interstate commerce commission
fully meets the reasonable expectation of
the public. II was hoped that the COM
mission would fnd ground for ruling both
that the rates in general are too high and
that a lower rate should be charged for
for a lower berth on a sleeping car. In
both respects the commission has met this
expectation. ruling that the rates IN the
eases directly involved should all be re-
duced. while the price charged for an up
Der berth should be D per cent cheaper
than for the lower berth.
In reaching its conclusion that the rates
in general are too high the commission
was assisted by the company's own finan-
leial statements. While the regular annual
dividends have not in ten years exceeded
8 per cent on the capital stock, special
cash and stock dividends have been dis
,tributed amounting to almost an equal
amount in addition. For example, in 1895
o special cash dividend OF 20 per cent was
declared out of the accumulated surplus
and the next year a stock dividend Of SC
per cent was declared. Another stock divi-
dend Of IS per cent was declared in 1907,
total in eleven years Of s5i. 0oO. 600 in

The Planes and the Public.

Ever since the flying machine became

lest the use of the air for human trans
portation would involve a new peril to
life on the lower planes of activity.
The. first real accident to people below
due to the flying of an airplane is re-
ported from Memphis. Tenn. where
Aviator Mars dropped on a party of
spectators sitting in an automobile.
Luckily the motor was equipped with a
top. which broke the force of the blow,
SO that only one of the occupants was
injured slightly. The aviator was hurt.

public suffers. when this form of pro-

is true that remarkably small per-
centage OF airplane failures has been
recorded In almost all of these cases
the aviators have been able TO bring
their machines to the ground under
control selecting their landing places
with reference to the safety both OF
themselves and the public. At the same
time ii is to be recalled that all but a
few flights have taken place over in
closed ground so that there has been a
minimum of risk to spectators. What
will happen when the man-birds go
mailing about promiscuously over roads
and streets and towns remains to be
seen.

and dream dreams of an ideal common

when that great philosopher described his
ideal municipality. it has been said: 1.-THE

virtually his inaugural address. did not
present any prosaic and practical con-
structive program of civic Improvement.
He talked about making a place where
there should be no room for tears and
heartaches. a place where the strong
should give protection and shelter to the
weak, finally saying that the task OF
every citizen was to realize the dreams of
the great men of the past. .Idealism of
this exalted type does no harm if it does
not content itself with merely pointing

No more the man who gaily grabs
The best seat in the car

Such is too good by far
For one whose quality and style
We struggle to impeach.
We must remember hogs are worth $11

The eager egoist who fans
Our daily discontents
Resembles nothing larger than
The sum Of 30 cents.
So when with metaphor we strive

Fishing for Fun.
he New York World

From the New York World
If there be a time for everything this
is the time for fishing-not fishing for the
market. but fishing for fun. To most
men fishing means hard work with a
seine or dull work with a hook and line.
Fishing ior sport is done with a rod and
reel. The ice is out of the northern lakes
and streams, but their waters are cold
and clear. Fish that live in them are
firm. quick, pugnacious and, in their way.
intelligent. The man who gets a few of
them must know where they live, under
stand their habits, possess an outfit of
approved fitness. and be expert in its
use Angling in warm waters for lazy
and indifferent fish, a weary man can
hardly forget business cares, for there
is not enough excitement to occupy his
mind. Operating in a northern lake or
brook in early spring, with the assistance
of good guide, his mind is intent only
upon hsh. There are no anxieties of
trade, no professional perplexities, no
social or domestic worriments. no trou-
bles of any kind, for man in whose
eyes the flashing sunlight is reflected and
in whose ears the reel is ringing.

Of hats should, in view of the disclosures
Just published, result in a material re-
duction in the retail rates. The position
Ct the railroad and express companies
is entirely sound and possibly the millin-
ers feel justified in their complaint on
the ground that they are already charg-
ing as much for their productions as the
trade can possibly bear. Here is chance
to reduce the cost of living materially
by getting back to bonnets and other
rational forms of head covering.

A Hat Rate Problem.

II, a time the extraordinary increase
in the size of women's hats which has
marked the feminine fashion for the
last few years was more or less of a
joke but 1t has become a serious matter,
as proved by an argument just delivered
before the interstate commerce commits
sion by representatives of railroad and
express companies in answer to a COM
plant of the Millinery Jobbers' Asso-
citation that discriminatory rates are
being charged for the carriage OF wom-
ems headgear. It was urged by the
year women's hats have been growing
larger and lighter, SO that a single hat
now weighs less and takes up more room
than did ten hats ten years ago. The
consequences is that a freight or express
car will hold only one-tenth Of the hats
that it formerly did and. the carriers
have been compelled to raise the rates
to make up the difference
1t is an adage Of ecopomics that the
consumer pays the freight. But In the
matter Of feminine hats this does not
necessarily mean that the women are
paying the difference in freight and ex-
press charges between now and ten
years ago. Here Is a case where the
ultimate consumer comes into the
equation, the man behind the milliner's
BILL Nine-tenths of the women's hats
are paid for by men.
Some women will be inclined to think
that the miIliners have no ground for
protest inasmuch as they feel that the
prevailing prices for headgear are al
ready high enough to take care OF any
freight charge advances. But this case
before the interstate commerce commits
sion furnishes suggestion to the wom-

Two Notable Tariff Reformers.

The New York Tribune. in some obser-
vations about the tariff, refers to the
Parsee Merchant and the Star-Eyed God
dess of Reform as still living. Alas, both
have departed. The cause now is without
the inspiring direction of either. They
were mighty in their day. They would
add to the strenuousness of this day,
But their warfare is over. Never again
will the country resound with their deter
mined assaults on the citadel of prOtec-
ton.
1t was in the spring of 1888 that the
Parsee Merchant made his last appear
ance in this town as an active force in the
fight for tariff reform. The Mills bill was
passing through the House slowly. The
going was heavy. Then, as now, differ
ences as to what should be done existed
in the democratic party. There were pro-
lection democrats acting as drag on the
wheel. 1t was necessary TO compromise
with them to get a bill at all. And bill,
in order to lay the foundation for the APP
preaching presidential campaign, was es-
sential.
The Merchant was not much of COM
promiser A convinced free trader. he
wanted the longest step possible taken at
that time in the free trade direction. He
had come to town to help. and was in
consultation frequently with those in
charge of the House bill. An old man,
and deaf. he would spend hours daily in
the House gallery, with his hand to his
ear, following with difficulty the debate
on the floor. A fountain of trade statis-
tics. and a sort of daisy chain of free
trade arguments, he suggested action
here, and admonished against action
there. with the most earnest show of in
terest. Altogether, very picturesque
figure in the contest.
Nor was the Star-Eyed Goddess in
active. Always welcome in Washington
lin fact, much at home here-she was in
and out while the battle lasted and an
adviser OF those seeking to make a rec
ord to conform to Mr.. Cleveland's tariff
message. 1t was the gossip of the day
that she did not like the Mills bill-as
later she did not like the Wilson bill
and, finding some Of her counsels disre-
garded, at last folded her skirts-like an
Arab?-and Indignantly stole away. At
ST. Louis, a month or so later, she ap-
peared in militant mood. and put every
body on record again. Mr.. Cleveland in
cluded, in favor of the real doctrine
1t is not generally known that there
might have been match except that
the Parsee Merchant was not free and
the Star-Eyed Goddess was welded to
the tariff propaganda. But they were
lovely and active in their lives, and both
are now where good reformers go.

Police Bloodhounds.
,m the Springfield Unior


Whether the bloodhounds brought here
from Poughkeepsie to trail the murderer
of Miss Blackstone materially aided the
police or not. II seems to be the general
opinion that II would be advantageous
to have two of these keen-scented ami
mails as regular part of the police
equipment. The cost OF their purcha Sc
and maintenance would not be great, and
in some cases they might prove inval-
liable. Had it been possible to put blood
hounds Immediately on the scent of this
murderer II is not improbable that his
capture would have resulted AS 1t was.
many persons who viewed the bringing
in of bloodhounds with decided skepticism
frankly acknowledge that the animals
gave a remarkable demonstration of the
gift with which nature has endowed
them. To have twice repeated their first
performance, covering each time identi-
cally the same course. although the scent
was thirty-six hours old, indicates how
exceedingly valuable the assistance of
these dogs might be IL Immediately avail

The Republican Keynote Postponed

plete, and advised that all hands work
together earnestly and Loyalty to the

is not reading anybody out Of the party
nor permitting anybody to read him out
of the party.
TINS position, in effect. denies that the
tariff is 1.-The whole thing. And Is not
the President right? So far as this Con-
eress is concerned, at least the tarin has
had it's day in court. 1t divided the party
In both the House and the Senate rev
republicans voted against the Payne Dill.
The great majority of the party voted for
the BILL passed it. and the Presldent
signed it, Both sides still stand to their
guns. No insursent is today better satls-
fed with the action he took last year
than are the regulars and the President
with their action Il would do it again,
is the assertion heard from both sides.
Very we'll But there are other mat
tiers to which the party stands pledged
by the platform of 1908. What about
them: Bills dealing with the most i'm
portant of them are now before Con-
Rress. The President has made his rec
concentrations, and wants action. In no
case has he said. or will he say. This,
or nothing" Consultations are in prog
ress. and compromises are certain. Con-
stitutional questions are involved, and
both houses of congress are sown thick
with men who consider themselves con-
stitutional lawyers. Should they not
have their say? How could the Presi-
dent who is lawyer himself, refuse to
listen?
Upon the adjournment of Congress,
then. the keynote will be sounded. The
question will be. what has the party done
to be saved? Not what it has done as
respects solely the tariff. but also the
other issues to which it has addressed
itself at the command of the party, which
in the campaign of 1908 was united. AS
for thS tariff the President is not going
to retreat from, or even modify. the
position he took last year TIE Payne bill
was not in some things what he desired,
but as, upon the whole, it was the best
bill he could get. and the choice for him
was between signing or vetoing-he is
not selfish shufiier before plain duty
he signed, and still supports his sigma
ture.
So important is the congressional rec
ord, therefore. that what remains to be
made should be made with the greatest
care. 1t will be better for the republicans
to wilt a few collars, in debate here in
late June, even late July, than to take
the chances of being wilted themselves
at home in a November gale OF their
own raising.
