Railroads Arc Going Out of Politics

Up in New Hampshire the people imum of corporation money and in fuence in their public affairs and the state has been in a condition of re- volt against the situation a long time.
 Recently the president of the offend ing Boston and Maine railroad resigned and when President Me1len of the con- trolling New Haven system took his place he announced a change of poll ley in New Hampshire. He says that hereafter the railroad will do noth- Ing which is not in accord with the soundost principles which should gov- ern public corporations in their public relations" It will not interfere In any way with the election of members of the legislature or of other officers" and it will not make any offer to any public officer, directly or indirectly, "of any consideration that will tend to in fuence him in the performance of his public duties." It will "do away with the lobby in the sense in which that term Is commonly used," though 1t will employ "the ablest talent" to present the views of the company upon pending legislation affecting it, and at the end of the legislative session there will be no complaint about the pernicious activity of any lobby employed in our interest" saith MT. Me1len.
 So far so good. MT. Mellen is a man of high character, and he will doubt
 less make good his written word. But will the railroads in the state of New Hampshire stay out of politics when Mr. Mellen's successor Is seated? Pos sibly the good effects of the Mellen policy will be so apparent that they will, for the people will surely deal fairly with the railroads when they see that the railroads arc dealing open ly and candidly and honestly with them. Honesty is the best policy after all. and honesty in this matter should be open and above board.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Looks Like Democratic Landslide

Col ". B. Leedy has returned from French Lick, where he had spent abou two weeks for rest q usually take my annual vacation in September, but this year I was not able to get off until Octo- ber." said Colonel Leedy. 'I did not gc to the famous Indiana resort for my health, but simply for pleasure. My wife was with me and we enjoyed French Lick very much.
 T haw a good deal of Tom Taggart who is member of the national demo- cratic committee. MT. Taggart keeps 1T close touch with politics, of course, and he assured me that Kern would beat Beveridge for the senate; that Harmon would be reelected governor of Ohio by a big majority. He also told me what everybody believes-that Dix would be elected governor of New York and that Woodrow Wilson would be the next gov .ernor of New Jersey. It looks as if the democrats would have landslide majori- ties in many republican districts, and the outlook for democratic victory in 1912 is certainly bright.'

taken and overcome now and then by significant silences, and he is in one of them so far as the charge that he called the judge a crook and jack ass is concerned He has not word to say on that subject. The general public will therefore assume that he did say it, for the phrase sounds es- pecia1ly Rooseveltian.
 In this period of strange politics there Is no appeal from the declaration in question. Judge Anderson cannot summon the ex-President to court to declare him in contempt. for that would increase his following. The judge will simply have to grin and bear it. even though he be no crook and no jackass. It is a case without remedy.

Experimental Postal Savings Banks

The government has selected towns con- aiming abou- 10000 inhabitants in ten ,tates in which to establish the first lot if postal savings banks. This was done for two reasons. In such towns there IS as rnIe no savings bank, and second- V. the government has available for the ,oo,nning of the new system but $1O0,oO0, md this sum will be exhausted in start ,nc the AR banks that have been located. These AS banks, including the one at 3essemer. will be inst alled early in Janu- ary. and the success of the 4S will natur- ally determine the rapidity of establish Ing more banks of a like nature. The yystem will not be freely started until liter the long session of the sixty-second songress-until 1912.
 The worst feature of the system Is the withdrawal from the locality of 30 per
 
 United states bonds. That percentage will be sent away never to return, for the calls of depositors will be met as a rule rom new deposits
 Solvent local banks will receive as de- rosits s5 per cent of the money taken in by the postal bank of their locality and Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagn is now engaged in making list of the banks in which savings funds should be deposited. This and other questions are delaying the starting of the new postal institutions, but 1t is believed all op- stacles will be cleared away so that the 4s banks can be opened in the opening month of the new year.

Judee Anderson a Crook and a Jackass

It was Judge Anderson who decided that Theodorus could not hale the editors of the Indianapolis News to Washington there to be tried for libel ing his administration. When the case came before Judge Anderson he prompt ly discharged the editors of the News eff" he said, "the prosecuting au- thorities have the authority to select the tribunal. if there be more than one tribunal to select from; if the gov ernment has that power and can draw citizens from distant states to the cap ital of the nation, there to be tried then, as Judge Cooley says, this is g strange result of a revolution whe one of the grievances complained oi was the assertion of the rights tt send parties abroad for trial"
 When the ex-President was in In dianapolis last month he took an ap neal from Judge Anderson to the ho palloi by denouncing to the latter tn, offending judge as "a crook and a jack. ass" So at any rate runs the repor from that quarter and it has not beer contradicted MT. Roosevelt is over.

Competition-HoW to Maintain It

The effort of the government to dissolve the Southern Wholesale Grocers' associa- ton as an institution operated in re- straint of trade within the meaning and scope of the Sherman antitrust act recalls tributing the necessaries of life. especial ly articles for table and home use. It re- calls the fact that the manufacturers and jobbers of some of those articles are en- deavoring to control prices by eliminating some competitors. When the manufac- turer dictates prices to the retailer it is plain the consumer is to be the chief vic- tim.
 | The Age-Herald has no desire to pre- judge the suit the government has brought against the Southern Wholesale Grocers. The courts will attend to that piece of business, and the public will no doubt in obedience to custom patiently await their decisions.
 In this connection the efforts of Duke c. Bowers of Memphis deserve mention. groceries in Memphis. The manufactur- CTS of some foods and commodities have boycotted him because he is running his stores on a small margin of profit. not only on one, but on all articles handled, He sells for cash MT. Bowers fight is chiefly with dictating manufacturers. The ultimate consumer pays all profits, includ- ing any named by the manufacturers, and Mr. Bowers contention is. therefore. one raised in behalf of the consumer. T have always held," says MT. Bowers. that when bought an article of merchandise that I had right to sell 1t at whatever price suited me. regardless of what my competitor, or the man of whom I buy. has to say about 1t. The supreme court of California rendered decision to the ef- feet that where manufacturer placed a label on his products, naming price at which they shall be sold, if dealer sells them for less, then the manufacturer can bring suit against the dealer for dam- ages"
 The underlying question Is, after all, what Is competition fh business? If the pending suit against the southern whole sale grocers and the literature that MT Bowers freely sends out aid in furnishing a definite answer to this question the public will surely be benefited. The rank
 and file will at any rate know where
 they are at"

FLY LOOKED REAL

From the Chicago Daily News.
 One of the still life paintings by Jan van Huysen In the museum at The Hague was recently injured. but it is believed that the perpetrator was neither vandal nor thief.
 The picture represents a basket of fruit, on which number of insects have gath cred. On g pale yellow apple, which is the centerpiece in the cluster of fruit. is a large fly painted so true to nature. so say the officials of the gallery, that the canvas was injured by some one who en- deavored to "shoo' 1t and brought his cane or hand too close to the canvas. "A tribute to the painters genius." says the letter recording the fact, flor which the work had to suffer-

Prosperous Businers

Business is fne," said R. E. Collins. the successful wholesale grocer. when asked about trade. Merchants get into the habit of making stereotyped answers to the question, How is trade? They will say dull, moderately good or brisk, as the case may be. And some of us may say that it IS pretty good just to appear cheerful, when in reality 1t is business is fine, I mean it--that is so far as the Jobbing grocery trade goes, and this is the trade in which am at home.
 ''The volume of Birmingham's whole sale business increases from year to year. The grocery jobbers' territory Is limited to a radius of 40 or 50 miles, as a rule; but the Birmingham district has grown so fast and the small towns in the agri- cultural sections have prospered to such an extent, in recent years that the Bir- mingham grocers' field has. in the very nature of things, become better and bet ter. We have made wonderful progress in 10 years, and the future for our 5busi- ness is more promising today than ever before
 T understand that the jobbers in va rious branches of trade are having a fine fall business. And it could not well be otherwise with such abundant har- vests as we arc having in Alabama"

Kean will possibly go to join MT. Burrows and other political accidents may occur. Each side will endeavor to put forward as a leader it's best tactician and debater and parliamentarian, for the bat tie of 1912 has been begun, and a record against that event must be made. The emergency calls for each partys best man.
 The election of Tuesday week will de- eide. too, who will control the Senate before 1912, but after March 4 the demo- crats and insurgents may be on top, and the two are much alike when II comes to the tariff and several other is' sues.

HOW MIR. MORGAN KEEPS WE'LL

HOW MIR. MORGAN KEEPS WELL From the Rochester Democrat and
 Chronicle.
 J. P. Morgan, who owns to having observed 7S birthdays. has a recipe of his own for the preservation of his health and faculties and the power to carry on manifold business interests in a field where men usually wear out rap idly. Moreover. 1t defies all the canons of health advocated by modern medical science. Twenty years ago, according to George Kibbe Turner, MT. Morgan found himself in very poor health and went to a physician for advice. This physician said: "Stop exercise in every form. Never walk when you can take a cab. You have formed the habit of living without exercise, giving your energy to your brain. It Is too late to change the habits of lifetime" MT. Morgan accepted this advice and has followed it religiously. Judging by the result it was good advice. Exercise may sometimes be vital to the preser- yation of health. This is not always so, however, as the, great inancier Is daily successfully demonstrating.

JAPAN'S WEAKNESS
rom the Philadelphia Press.

From the PnllaQelpnla Press.
 Japan, which has at so many points modelled it's finances over the United States, has, followed the American exam ple This country pays it's public debts. Europe does not The United States has paid over s2.0OO 100000 of debt since the war.
 Japan began with the determination to pay off it's national debt. The Japanese debt was reduced between the Chinese and Russian wars. This greatly aided Japan fin raising money when the later struggle required larger issues of bonds. A year ago Japanese bonds. per cent. were at s1. They are now.92. No one expected when the English and Japanese alliance was formed, nearly 10 years ago, that Japanese bonds would be 10 points above consols, even if the former had the higher interest.
 For a number of years Japan has de- voted s2500O,OO0 to debt redemption, a very large sum, considering It's revenue. But the burden proves too great Japan Is a poor country. Taxation is heavier than in any civilized state. in propor- ton to wealth, except possibly Italy. Military and naval expenses are growing. Payments on the national debt are to be abandoned. This change of policy will have it's inevitable effect on the position of Japan. The island empire cannot go on mourning debt as have European coun- tries. It has not the same resources.

SOAP BOX "MOToRs" THE LATEST Each Philadelphia tIxfddier Is Now Reckless Speedway King


 From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
 Tired of common place soap-box wag- ons. and their enthusiasm enroused to initiate the 'sp&d kings whose efforts they applauded in the Fairmount park race, hundreds of youngsters have changed their old wagons into regula- ton automobiles and are Burning up'' the sidewalks in West Philadelphia with their tbuz-wagons."
 Nearly all the ancient wagons have been remodeled into limitations of the Chadwick, Ben and Lozier, and to the very latest frill and the new cars per feet.
 Although the new idea have taxed all their inventive genius, the little fellows have done truly Trojan work. Not only have they placed the latest style of at tractive hoods upon their machines, but they have gone to the trouble of paint ing their wagons in the newest fad of colors
 Several hundred were first to paint the favorite number of twelve on the sides and front of their improvised ra- diators, and still others were quite as satisfied to decorate their cars with other numbers of class winners, and the more loyal in their constancy> have stuck to the number of their favorites who "also ran.'
 True to every particular of the big race, the youngsters have arranged a system of signals which are operated by their ever admiring friends, and 1t Is common sight to be hailed by red flag and asked to clear the course, as in the distance is heard the "chug" of a racer coming down coasting hill The black and white checkered flag which announced the end of the race in the big park race last week Is not to be seen, however for the 'kiddies'' race all night and all day. Nor is the white flag with the black square In the center to be seen on any of the new courses, for there Is always more than one lap to be run.
 To avoid the dangers so frequent in big face the coming Zengles, Null lords and Bergdolls have equipped their cars with electric lights, which are op- erated by a set of batteries under the hood and throw a glare upon the road in front of their racers when driving after dark.
