No Inoreass in Freirht Rate..

The decisions OF the Interstate
Commerce commission refusing to ap-
prove the schedules OF increased
freight rates presented by the rail-
roads are a momentOus victory for the
shipper and the consumer While
they will doubtless cause wry faces
and elicit dismal forebodings from
railroad magnates and bond syndicate
promoters, these decisions will be
hailed with intense satisfaction by the
general public that pays the freight.
Public satisfaction viii be the more
marked because the combined rail-
roads Of the country brought all posi-
BILE pressure to bear on the commits
sion, while the cause OF those who
might suffer from increased rates had
to be pleaded by volunteers. A gem
eral increase Of freight rates at this
time would unquestionably nave
tended to hold up, II not raise higher,
the present high cost OF living, which
seems to have reached a turning point.
The course of these rate cases has
reflected a peculiar change of base on
the part OF the railroads. When the
roads filed the higher rate tariffs the
common impression was that they
we're making a play to prevent the In
terstate Commerce commission from
reducing rates by setting up a claim
that existing rates were noncompensa-
tory and left them in dire need Of
more revenue. When they began to
present their side the railroad officials
and their lawyers, if they we're previ-
ously in doubt. actually persuaded
themselves that they we're in condi-
ton requiring relief. and that they
might win the commission over to that
view If they could create a public SEN
timent to support 1t. From the read
ing Of the opinions handed down by
Commissioners Prouty and Lane it
would seem that the railroads over
shot the mark, and that they merely
proved that where the weaker roads
were handicapped the big trunk lines
we're meeting the increased cost of
operation and higher wages out of the
revenue from increased trafic and
continued to pay normal dividends
and add to their surplus. To increase
rates to the point of giving the weak
est road full returns on claimed in
vestment would insure the strong
roads extravagsnt profits, and the
commission will not force the public
to pay for the mistakes Of inenieiency
of the railroad builders.
Failure to put the new freight
schedules over may be expected to re-
act somewhat on the stock market
and the quotations Of railway securi-
ties, but the prospect for development
and the assurance of steady volume
Of trafic should be too clear to let it
operate as a serious setback.

Fear Of Chinese pismemberment.


Advlces from Picking indicate a dis
tinct plan BY Russia and Japan TO take
full advantage Of Chinas plague dis
tress. They report that these two
powers have mutually agreed for
Japan TO send a division of its troops
into southern Manchuria and Russia
to send a corps of of its military into
northern Manchuria, Whether the
report be authoritative or not, it seems
to have wrought fear in China OF an
attempt at dismemberment. This
fear is strengthened by activities of
the British and French on the pretext
that they must have forces on hand to
protect their interests.
Thus the situation becomes decid-
eddy disturbing TO China. The viceroy
of Manohuria, according to a cable
gram TO the New York Herald, lis
greatly alarmed, and It Is understood
that he has given orders to the COM
manders of the Chinese forces In Man
ohuria to hold their troops in readi-
ness for possible eventualities." These
fears may all be unduly exaggerated
and yet it is quite possible that Russia
and Japan have at least a tacit under
standing that cannot be comforting ia
China. AS to Acknowledgement, how
ever, or any attempt at IT, any nations
entering into the plan would have to
figure with other world powers. That
is the one thing against which the in
huenoe Of the leading nations may be
united, and it is the basic principle OF
every peace measure made in late
years respecting China.
China is in a fair way to become
the theater OF spectacular events in
the evolution OF the orient. but before
It is partitioned other nations besides
Japan and Russia, or even France and
Britain, viii have TO be consulted. Tn,

That the systematic campaign OF
development in the west has set

evident in the frequent illusions to
what we are doing by the press Of

count one OF the rich by-products Of
our efforts. Next to opening up to set
Element and cultivation the great
stretches OF our own fertile fields
nothing could be more desirable than
that we get our neighbors back in the
older states to develop some of their
latent resources II does not detract
from our movement in the least. but
rather helps It, for enterprises to be
set to work in the east and south to
induce young men to take up land and

The west is SO big and great that
Il will take years and years for 1t to
begin to fill up, but that does not
make II parsimonious or hesitant about
its future. It's future is certain-people
are coming to the west simply be-
cause they will not be kept away. They
need no encouragement from Horace
Greeleys to get them to come. They
know that out here they find superior
climate, soil and opportunities, and
therefore they continue to come as
fast as they can arrange to do so. And
in the meantime it is highly desirable
for the good of the whole country, that
states like Maryland, Delaware, New
York, Virginia and others, east and
south, do everything they can to infuse
new blood into their farm life. Let the
growth and development proceed on
an even, well-proportioned basis.
