WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-The bas

out the Southern States, is to be
come the foundation of one of the
most formidable investigations ever
undertaken by the interstate com
merce commission. Under this sys
TEN Louisville and other large com
merc1al centers of the South, hubs for

are granted lower rates than the in.
termediate points. This is alleged to
be in violation of the new fourth sec

which prohibits a breater charge for
short than long haul in interstate
commerce, when the shorter is with.
in the longer haul and in the sam9 di.

1t was announced today that the

form triangle connecting the trade

heart of the South. All the railroads

their "basing point" system of rates
AS the investigation proceeds its
scope will be broadened so as tn in

inauguration of this investigation
means that the blasting point" system
of rate making, which is more preva-

section of the country, will be on trial
for it's life. 1t is not the intention OF
the commission itself to attend these
initial hearings.
They will be conducted by Henry

as the fourth section board of the

cided not to have the stereopticor

Instead banners were sent around

representative, said he was a great

whom he wanted to reach failed to
show up.
The first picture was one of the
roads in Madison county before the
Improvements and one after the i'm.
lprovements The pictures were large
ly in contrast, and the lecture was
along the lines of comparisons Of val.
ues Of property, advantages to the
schools and churches, and the general
public welfare before and after the
improvements. He showed that the
farmers pay heavier tax in the loss
of stock by overwork and the extra
IeXpense of the epkeep Of harness and
vehicles. This he called the indil ect
tax and was a great deal heavier than
any tax ever levied by any county or
section for the Improvement of the
roads.
The lecture concluded with the
statement that the government would
send an expert to build mile OF
road and instruct any community
that would make the proper applica

to make that application would be in,

The above briefly tells the story of
the most uninteresting city election
held since Columbia was in it's swad-
ding clothes. Active hustling upon
the part of the candidates in the af-
lternoon Thursday brought the vote
up to the above figure. But for the
activity of the candidates it is prob
able that the total vote would not
have gone over the 200 mark.
And the only feature of the cleo
ton was the activity of candidates
without opposition, whose election
was sure, to get the voters to the
polls. For there was no semblance
Of opposition, practically all who
came voted the entire ticket
The election was in marked con-
trast to that of two years ago when
the losers received larger vote than
the winners got in the election of
yesterday. And the vote was not
much over half of that cast in the
election of four years ago when a
very light vote was polled.
The returns will be delivered to
the commissioners of election and by
that body they will be formally can
vassed on next Mondy and certifi-
Gates of election will be delivered to
the winners.
The canvassing Of the vote will be
a mere formality. The new officers
will not be indicted into Office until
the first Thursday night in January
when the administrative officials of
the city, except the recorder, will be
nominated by the Mayor and con-
frmed by the board.

ELEcTRocUTE EGGS.

1t is possible that the peculiar
taste Of a cold storage egg, which b
something not easy to mistake, may
be removed if experiments now be-
ing made by an electrical company
are successful. Says the Inventive
Age: ct is claimed that when fresh
eggs are placed in cold storage the
eggs are alive; that they are slowly
frozen to death and that in spite of
the preservation qualities of the ice
the eggs do not taste good when
cooked. 1t is now believed that by
electrocuting the eggs the natural
fresh taste may be retained and not
removed when the eggs are placed
in cold storage. The eggs are killed
by placing a metal cap on each end
of the egg and then throwing on a
pressure Of 500 volts"

MUST NOT ALTER DEcALoeUE
Writer Gays to Modify the Command
msnts by Omission Would 20
Dangerous Precedent.

To modify by omission any part
Of canOnical Scripture, particularly
the Decalogue, would be a precedent
fraught with danger. The meaning
of the Bible is often warped in the
effort to make it harmonic with
peoples prejudices, but the full text
must remain untouched. The fear
Of ancient copyists to alter one Got
or title" of the sacred writing is
what has brought the Scriptures
down to US as free from error as they
are. The common supposition Of
scholars that the original form of
the Decalogue consisted merely of
the bare commands, the explanatory
comments being added subsequently,
may be true; but that would not
justify the Church of England max
ing the change proposed. A quite
different proposition is this from the
modification of a credal statement,
-Leslie's.

SIGNIFICANT NOTICE.

Richard Croker, the day Of his de-
parture for his Irish home, said to a
New York reporter:
at is the desire for freedom that
sends so many Americans and so
many millions of dollars abroad

of America enslave us. These laws,
with their total misconception of
freedom and of enjoyment, are well
.exemplified in a notice board once
saw in a New England park. The
board said:

WHAT CONSCIENCE DOES.

1t is not history which teaches
consistence to be honest; it is the
conscience which educates history.
Fact is corrupting, it is we who cor
rect it by the persistence Of our
ideal. The soul moralizes the past
in order not to be demoraliaed by it.
Like the alchemists of the middle
ages, she finds in the crucible of ex-
perience only the gold that she her
