DAWN OF A NEW DAY.

The action of the Interstate Com merce commission in approving an ad. vance in freight rates, on many com modities, in fixing through rates to Pacific Coast terminals, appears to have been taken as the result of ar agreement between the lines and many classes of shippers. It can safe Iy be assumed that the commission. in this action, has been careful to avcid afIording opportunities for eva sion of the federal laws against rebat- ing and all forms of discrimination Accordingly, such an agreement be- tween shipping and transportation in terests may be accepted as evidence O. a returning to normal conditions.
 1t has been the contention of this paper during all Of the Controversy growing out of iong-resisted efforts al railway regulation, that neither the people as a whole, nor any considera- ble part of the shippers of the coun- try, were animated by any other pur- pose tbsn the one of ending railway extortions and discriminations. Such conditions in railroading had grown out Of a disregard Of fundamental bus mess principles in much railway man. agement. Politics. Hobbies, high fin, ance, wasteful expenditures. and in efficiency and fsvoritism m every de partment. were the causes of which extortionate rates and rebates to the largest shippers with their accompa- nying determinations against others. were the direct effects.
 There could be but one ending Of such a controversy. Public interest could not be made subordinate to pri- vate interest. It Is not many years since traffic managers had the nabh of refusing conferences with shippers anxious to make agreements on fair terms. Since then. railway managers, seeing and accepting the inevitable, have placed their lines on solid foun dations Of service an deficiency, and themselves in a position to make ship pers' agreements so fair and so far within the law that shippers and the Interstaie Commerce commission can

AUDIT OF PUBLIC ACCOUNTS
lsllver City Enterpcisel

(Silver City Enterpcise.)
 The world is progressing fast these days in matters Of municipal government Greater interest is being taken by the public at large in the public's business and putting it Cn a business basis. For the protection ol both officials and the public there should be a complete audit of hotA city and county books at the end Of each fiscal year and a clean bill oi health issued to each omcial so that there can be no chance of auy charges in after years when perhars the ofF cial may not be here to defend him. self. Errors and mistakes are liable to creep in, in any set of books, no matter how well kept. and for this reason, if no other, there should he Q complete system fer checking each of iciafs books. no matter how minor the office may be. The public is de- manding a stricter accouczing for it's business and TO saiT-minded official will object to thls as it is fer his own protection as much as for the public
 Charges of graft are often madc against public officials when such charges are absolutely without foun- dation. yet the official has no means of effectuaIly denying them except by bis own well known honesty. 1T an audit Of his books were taken at stated periods it would -emoye him from any such false accusations.

A GOVERNOR WHO GOVERNS

their meat products, their entire profit being derived from by-prodpcts hand led on large scale.
 Whether or not the packing houses make profit on beef-and they have ! right to make a profit on their prod lects as much as have dealers in other 'oInmodities-is not a factor Of great importance in determining the cause af the high price of meats now pre- yailing. Live cattle were never SC high in price sthey are at present and the man who has them to sell is making the money. The census figures Iacted explain why the consumer has to pay nearly twice as much for beef as he did few years ago. It is q simple question of supply and de mand; either we mast raise more cat lie. sheep and hogs, or the American people must curb appetite for meat and adopt vegetable diet. The re- moval of the tariff is not likely to have much effect on the price of beef.

THE SPECIAL SESSION.

The Review assumes that Governo. Hunt will issue call for another legislative session. The refusal of the senate to agree to the appropria ton biH passed by. the house or to provide conference with the house, after that body had declared its pur pose to adjourn last Thursday night. makes an extra ession imperative. The attempt of the senate and the ad ministration to control the action oi the house was a failure during the last sixty days and we do not expect 10 see these forces more successful in the third special session than they were in the second. But, tkere are eyi dences now that a majority of the senate will refuse to longer offer thei. services to those who would use them to play politics ir an effort to chastise Tho house. If we are correct in this assumption then we shall expect a suf. ficent number CT senators and repre- sentatives to come to an agreement by comTromise of honest differences so that what is necessary 10 be done may he accomplished during the com I1g two weeks. at most.
 The trouble with the senate has been that controlling number of thai body have shown. too flagrantly, their desire to play politics in ;he defense of certain state officials and trying to 6isoaedit others While the senate agreed with the house that conditions at the penitentiary had been such as 10 need correction it refused the new board of control bill passed by ths house, as a means of providing a new control of this and other state insti- tutions.
 Now, with another session. let botf house and senate quit the politica. game and get together in honest ef fort to finish the work in hand with out any further pickering. Let the senate and house each coRcede thal the responsibility and right Of opin ion are equal in both and let the state administration come to a realization of the fact that legislation is no part of it's duty and keep hands of to any further extent than the right of the governor to exercise the veto power
 With such concessions in both house and senate it ought to be easy to reach compromise agreement on all existing differences.

MR. BRYAN'S
 ATONE EmENT.

"sandpatism is dead, said Mr. iiryan in his speech at Des Mofnes. In stating the lesser fact Mr. Bryan omits the greater fact Not only is stand, pattism dead bur Hannasm is dead
 lt was Mark Hanna republicanism that put the United States govern. ment into partnership with big bus. ncss. It was Mir. Bryan's iree-silver campaign of 1896 that gave Hanna and Pdutoeraey their opportunity. In trying to escape the evils of a de- based currency the country swung to the other extreme, says the World.
 As result of 1896 campaign Wash ingtOn moved to Wall street, and wan street became the capital of the United States. Enc government was frankly and cynically administered for the profit of privilege. Plutocracy became as arrogant and despotic as slavery. If Wali street wanted legis- lation, the legislation was enacted. If Wall street wanted laws suspended, those laws were suspended. If certain governmental policies meant dividends for big business, these policies were adopted. If Wall street wanted to ex- ploit the resources of the country, those resources were placed at it's dis posal
 The very expression stand pat ', vas coined by Mark Hanna to enoour- age the republican machine to resist the public demand for honest traiR revision, and it soon became a battle cry against every assault upon pub lie wrong. From the Dingiey act to Dollar Diplomacy, every evil that helped to bring about the final wreck of the republican party had its origin in the unhoIy alliance that Hanna es iabIished 5e:ween the government and Wall street.
 Air. Bryan can take pardorabIe pride in the death of stand-pattism. for MT. Bryan is a very fortunate man. He las lived to retrieve the mistakes Of his past his free-silver campaign drove the country to piatocracy, but his battle for progressive democracy h 1912 emancipated it. To his efforts the country owes the nomination of alr. Wilson for President and the e. seetiye realization of the new policies that have taken the United States government out of the hands of Wall street Without William J. Bryan ws should have had no Woodrow Wilson
 Mir Bryan's case is uniEqe. There E no other ins,snce in American his tory in which stateslhan atonea 70 brilliantly and SO bensscently for his blunders.

Found Dead in Barn.

Brandon, Jan. 7.--Will Denning, a
farm hand employed by w. H. Tarble
at his farm in the Arnold district was
found dead with his hes badly crushed
this morning in the basement of the
Tarbe barn. His death no doubt was
the result of an accident. He went
Monday night to the home of a neigh
Dor, and left there for the Tarble place
about 9 O'Clock. Evidently he went in
to the upper part of the barn in the
dark and fell through an opening to the
basement, distance of some or 10
feet, striking head first on the concrete
floor. The man had been dead several
hours when found and there was no
evidence of foul play The outside door
to the barn was open as was the door to
the basement Health Officer Dr. c..
w. Peck and Selectman F. l.. Smith
were summoned and permitted the body
to be moved to +. N. Miller's under
taking rooms.

The care of this crop causes little eX-

means of solving the problem of how
to keep good farm help proitably en-

The three principal aims in caring
for the wood lot should be to keep the
ground thoroughly covered with trees,
to have only the best possible trees and
to make them grow rapidly.

care should be taken in choosing the
kinds of trees to raise. the soil should
be kept moist and mellow by protect

should be given a fair amount of light
by making Improvement cuttings.
Methods of starting new trees either
to fill openings now in the woods or to
replace timber to be harvested are as
follows: By sprouts, by seed falling
from neighboring trees. by sowing seed
broadcast and by planting trees or seed.

In order to get II crop of potatoes we
plant and cultivate. II we want the
beet orchard we spray ana rrune. but
we let nature plant and care iol the

that woodot does not pay.
The timber crop can be improved by
care for the same reasons that other
crops can be improved.
Although ii takes longer to raise this
crop than any other it can be raised on
land otherwise improbable or idle.
Such a crop will in the end yield
comfortable bank account, and the
value of the wood lot to the farm is
greater than the sale value of the crop

money by having various wood prod
