The Truth About the
Cost Of Living.

Judson C. Welliver, Washing
ton correspondent of Farm and
Fireside, writes as follows in the
current issue of that publication:
Not long ago a president of a
great American railroad system,
talking about this very problem,
walked over to a map that hung
on his wall. Let me tell you
how far we are getting away
from the soil," he said. He
swept his hand in gesture over
the northeast section of this
country, indicating the whole of
New England and New York.
There" he said, us the big
gest population in all the world
that has so small a proportion of
it's number actually living on and
by the SOIL"
Twas astonished. He had the
figures, which l don't remember;
| sort of hoped they might not
be true and didn't want to be
numbered up with them. He had
comparisons, carefully worked
out, with Britain, France, China,
Japan-all the countries that
could possibly get entered in that
sort of competition-and | guess
he wasn't wrong. Think of it!
A lower proportion of farm sup
ported people than any other e.
quail number of people. living in
a contiguous community, in the
world!
That's what's the matter with
us, in this matter of living costs,
We have the land, the people and
the capital. The difficulty is to
get the land, the man and the
capital together in one place.

CHOPPING DOWN
RATES.
EXPRESS

The express companies that have
been defiantly robbing the people OF
the United States for these many
years are evidently preparing to
climb down from their high perch.
The exhaustive investigation of the
express business by the Interstate
Commerce Commission and the un-
doubted power of the Commission to
compel reform of some Of the atroci-
ties unearthed in the progress Of
inquiry have not been lost either
upon the express managers or the
public. 1t is credibly reported that
practical agreement has been reach
cd for correcting the abuse Of "both
end" charges on packages; for the
extension of delivery limits; for put
ting stop to compulsory overcharg-
es and other patent abuses.
It is proposed Dy the Commission
to establish zone system of charg-
cs fair both TO carriers and shippers,
which will be in the nature Of a
parcels post service. Such an over
hauling Of express tariff will not be
accepted by the companies without
struggle. The fact, however, that
the cheap parcels post systems estab-
lisned in other countries have proved
{. source of revenue instead Of a
burden to the public treasures re-
mains undeniable. 1t is also well
understood that the express compan-
les and railway companies can do a
parcels-carrying business for less
cost than like service can be render
ed by Government postal employees.
In the, face Of this showing and
the growing pressure Of public opin-
ion favorable to tie establishment OF
a parcels post system in the United
States, the express companies and
their railway hackers and owners are
not likely to carry their obdurate
resistance to reform beyond reason.
1t will be by no means the least of
the great services rendered to the
people by the Interstate Commerce
Commission if it shall be enabled

THAT ALLEGED CONSPIRACY

Attorney General Samuel w. Will
liams is quoted as saying in Richmond
yesterday that he had read great
portion Of the evidence in the cases
against the Allen gang and that there
was absolutely no question that a con-
spiracy had been clearly established
and that The Aliens had begun the
shooting in the court room in which
three were instantly killed and the
death of two others followed. He de-
clares there is no question of a con-
viction."
The evidence as it has thus far
been published certainly goes strong
w to sustain the conclusion stated by
Judge Williams.
The Lynchburg News says that it
may be difficult for the Common
wealth to establish the time and &C.
casion at which, and the precise terms
in which, the Aliens entered into the
alleged conspiracy, but says that the
existence of such d compact may be
legally inferred from the acts of the
parties accused. Dsclaining pnr'
puSc OF pre-judging the case, we new
crtheless say the simultaneous muir.
der Of three officers of the court b.
Floyd Alien and his kinsmen, immedi.
aLcly following Floyd Aliens convic'
ton constitute what will be widely
regarded us ample evidence to JUS
tify the conclusion that such concert
Of action must have sprung from
CONCERT Of purpose. All this aside
frcm the declaration thus far made
by one or more Of the prisoners tend
ing to sustain belief in conspiratica
design, and that individually show
that the Aliens were present in the
court room on the morning Of the as
sassination; that they were armed tt
the teeth when nobody was threaten
ing their lives; and that they begar
to shoot as with one accord. Certain
ly no claim is advanced even by thu
prisoners of a fear that as soon a:
Floyd Allen was convicted the cour
officers would at once begin to shoe
up the entire Allen clan. More or les

The body of Dick Miller, who was drowned in Lake Eyak on July 28, had not been recovered until this morning. A native wa< row. ing near the Indian village about seven o'clock when he suddenly saw the head of a man in the Wa ter short distance away. It proved to be that of Miller. He was brought to Lambert's under taking parlors and will be, buried from there this evening at 6:3O o'clock.
 Ex officio Coroner Scott sum- moned jury and a verdict of ac- cidental drowning was rendered. John POnnett, who had been ap- pointed special administrator, has found all the money that Miller was supposed to have had on him when he met his death. He had $95 in his cabin and $25O in the bank. There was only $2.5O on his person.
