Wool in Montana and Wyoming

Senator Walsh of Montana is cer-
tainly asking a good deal when he
asks that 9O,O00,000 of people be over
taxed in order to benefit less than a
million in Montana and Wyoming. 1t
is fair example of what protection
is. 1t is the taxation of many for the
benefit of a few.
All of this country produces but
-one-eighth of the worlds clip. There
is not wool enough in the world to
clothe and keep the people warm.
There never will be- The population
is increasing faster than the produc-
ton of wool. People would go cold to-
day if cotton and shoddy had not come
to the aid of raw wool. They are hap
PLY intermixed and in that way peo-
pie are kept warm. Otherwise they
could not be, and yet the industry has
been protected at rate averaging 45
per cent for so years. The duties on
the cheaper grades of wool have been
as high as $50 per cent!
Sheep will not disappear from this
country when wool is put on the free
list. The price of mutton forbids. The
demand for mutton will remain, and
so will the sheep, and our wool pro-
duction will not be materially de-
creased by the Underwood tariff. The
wool industry of Montana and
Wyoming is secure, and Senator
Walsh should not expect to see in a
revenue tariff bill duty on raw wool.

DAYTON'S DEAD HORSES
From The Survey.


Dayton knew at once that the toll Of
the flood would be as nothing compared
to the pestilence. unless attention and
energy were directed to sanitory prob
lens. In the daily exhortations in the
free newspapers distributed throughout
the city, in thousand Ways, Dayton de-
clared again and again
Sanitation first and foremost Then
everything else"
Such was the spirit Of the members of
the Dayton Bicycle club, when thew met
as the waters receded from their club
house to consider what service they could
best render to their stricken city, and
volunteered to remove the dead anin,a Is
strewn in the streets
The Dayton Bicycle club showed wis
dom. Nearly every horse in the more
than seven square miles of the city that
was under water-and this area contained
all the important livery stables--was
drowned and quick action was needed 10
remove the bodies to prevent serious re-
suits. A sanitary department was organ
lied, and as rapidly as automobile
trucks and wagons were volunteered. thew
were pressed into service. Over 100 We
hicles and about 600 men were engaged
on this work. A rendering company,
which handles all the garbage collected
in the city. agreed to take care of the
horses and did so as fast as they came
for time. When the carcasses came
so rapidly that 1t was necessary to heap
them up on the grounds of the plant.
and then on vacant field nearby, the
plant was a grewsome place indeed. Up
to the night of March 81, 100: had been
received. A number were picked IN the
next two days, so that the final total was
probably in the neighbcrhood OF 100.

Automobiles in the South

The pedestrian in this city who has
to dodge automobiles at every turn
may be inclined to say that Alabama
has too many of them rather than too
few. He is led to believe that every
prosperous citizen owns one or more.
But the statistics up to May of the
present year and of last year do not
sustain his estimate. The figures in
detail are as follows:
Georgia, 2O,078; last year, $4,000.
Tennessee, 11,225; last year, 71s1.
Florida, 997S; last year, 1896.
Alabama, 1850; last year, 1850.
Arkansas, $500; last year, 1000.
North Carolina, 1000; last year,
1000.
Virginia, 6094; last year, 1920.
Kentucky, 1900 (estimated); last
year, 1000.
According to this table Alabama
owns fewer automobiles than any
other state in the list-fewer than Ar
kansas even. The table is of Atlanta
origin and it's trustworthiness is not
fully vouched for.
The Atlanta Journal attributes the
ownArship of automobiles in Georgia
to abundant prosperity in the first
place. Georgia,s prosperity is con-
fined to her towns and peach orchards,
and she is not leading the remainder
of the south to the extent indicated in
the automobile table that Atlanta has
compiled. Business depression pre-
vailed in south Georgia all of last
year.
Georgia's good roads do, no doubt,
lead to an increase of moter cars. Such
cars first led to a well-organized
movement for better roads. No one
appreciates good roads SO much as
the owner of an automobile, unless it
be the farmer who cannot in bad
weather go to market or railroad
station.
But whether the figures printed
herewith are true or untrue in all
particulars, it is plain Georgia has
acted wisely in building good roads.
Their value is priceless, and if the
state does not have today 10000 au-
tomobiles, she soon will have for good
roads and general prosperity go, hand
| in hand in all states.

Rate Cases in the Supreme Court

Between the hearing of the Louis
vile and Nashville passenger rate
case on June 8 before Judges Pardee,
Shelby and Grubb and the announced
/, determination of the United States
supreme court to decide all cases un-
der consideration by it before ad-
journing for the summer recess-be-
tween these two judicial events it is
reasonably certain that the railroad
issue will be determined to an extent
that will take it out of politics.
The supreme court may shut the
state out altogether so far as intra-
state business, but the weight of out
side opinion anticipates decisions in
the Minnesota and other cases favor
able to state regulation of intrastate
business. This would be in accordance
with previous decisions of the great
court.
Speculation is, however, idle wher
actual decisions are to follow in the
first two weeks of June in cases com
ing up from seven or eight states. The
case from Alabama will not be one oil
them, but it may be practically de-
tided nevertheless when the case!
rom other states are determined.
The entire issue constitutes the big
rest subject before the supreme court
md the decisions soon to be handed
down will be very sure to lay dowr
the final law so far as the contro
by the states of intrastate rates is
concerned. The issue is big one, and
its effects will be felt in every part
of the country.

Colonel Roosevelt's Suit

No matter what the defense may un-
dertake to prove against Colonel Roose-
welt the coloners testimony has been
well received by the public" said man
who did not vote the progressive ticket
but who is an admirer of the ex-Presi-
dent
"One should make allowances for ru-
mors about Presidents and other emil
nent men overindulging in strong drink.
Most of the stories told about Andrew
johnson as a drinking man were abso-
lutely false. When / lived in Washing
ton some years ago was intimate with
the gentleman who had been private sec
retary to President Johnson--the late Ma
jor Moore, superintendent of police. He
told me that the President was far from
being hard drinker. He said the stories
told about him were simply calumnies.
There was talk at one time about Mr..
Cleveland indulging too freely in strong
drink. I saw a good deal of Mr.. Cleve-
land while he was ex-President; saw
him In New York and in other places.
saw something of him while he was Presi-
dent the second time. He was what I
would call strictly sober man.
Colonel Roosevelt has never been a
teetotaler, but he is what I would term a
very moderate drnker. No one could
make me think that he drank to excess.
The only thing 1 do not quite under
stand Is why he stresses his avoidance
of red wine, while admitting that he
drinks white wine. If any wine is to be
used at table for health purposes it
should be claret, according to my way
of thinking as a layman.'

was recovered. On appeal the defendant
argued that while ordinarily such a pro-
ceedlng might not be improper, yet the
trial court should, in the exercise of its
discretion. have refused to permit 1t un-
der the circumstances, for the reason that
the plaintiff was young, handsome and
attractive, and, consequently, that the
sympathies of a jury composed of men
were unduly excited in her behalf" But
the appellate tribunal declined to take
this view. observing that the plaintiff,
though all the defendant claimed, was
entitled, in sustaining her claim, to re-
sort to the same proofs that she might
have resorted to If she had been aged,

of Iowa, 1t may be said. appears to have
pushed the principle even further, revers-

Advance in Freight Rates

A question of far-reaching impor-
tance is involved in the application OF
the eastern carriers, which includes
the southern railways, pending before
the interstate commerce commission
for a 5 per cent advance in freight
rates.
The cost of operation, owing to the
advance in wages, has increased
steadily during the past four or five
wears. Gross earnings have increased,
but, in the nature of things, net earn
ings have been less than stockholders
had right to expect. The small adj
vance in freight rates asked for would
fall lightly, comparatively speaking,
OH shippers and consumers. 1t would,
on the other hand, be of material
benefit to the railroads and the very
fact that the application was deemed
reasonable would have a buoyant eff
feet upon business in general. Ger
tain it is that when the spirit of CO.
operation between railway managers
and shippers is in evidence and the
interstate commerce commission al
lows an advance the reflex benefit on
the entire business situation in this
country would be quickly manifested.
Professor William 2. Ripley of Har-
ward is quite right in saying that un-
less there is relief in the form of
rate advances ''the public is going to
be denied the facilities and the ac-
commodations to which it is justly
entitled" That we'll known economist
further says: "Antagonism to rail
ways has subsidized. Regulation of
rates is complete. Confidence in the
interstate commerce commission is
thorough. 1t is vastly more important
that railway questions shall be set
tied in good temper than that any
particular rate case shall be decided
any particular way. 1t is to be hoped
that the country has seen its last
fight over freight rates.
Railroad traffic has unquestionably
outrun facilities and with the bumper
crops due this summer the transporta-
tion lines will be overtaxed more than
ever. If the application for an ad-
vance in freight rates is granted,
there will be lively revival of pros
perity. No one thing that could hap
pen would help business conditions
quite so much at this time.

DR.. James J. Walsh tells the New York
Herald that ''the fatal blow in a large

the blow is delivered upward it is possible
that the heart itself is directly impinged
upon. This Injuries the heart muscle SO
severely that its rythmic action is inter-
fered with and heart failure gradually
develops. The fatal issue is not so sud

sufferer may live some minutes. with
even some moments of intermittent con-
sciousness. In most of the fatal cases

Tho Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott. a director
of the outlook company. says there is no
truth in the report published that Colo

his services and soon might terminate
his connection with the Outlook as con-
tributing editor The colonel, 1t was said,
rad told the company that he would
not sign another contract unless II was
at an increased salary. Doctor Abbott
said: There was no reason at all for
such a story. There is no contract GOV
ering any stated time between the Out
look company and Colonel Roosevelt and
the existing contract could be terminated
by either party at any time So far as
know, the question of compensation has
not been mentioned by the colonel and
nothing has come up to make us believe
that he intends to sever his connection
