DISTANCE TARIFF

On another page of this issue
appears a page advertisement
sent out 6y Twin City interests
relative to the effect of the Cash.
man distance tariff bill. The
cities, of course, view with
alarm" any attempt to disturb
the existing rate schedule and
are spending some money to
bring their side of the question
before the people. Very wisely,
they choose the medium of the
press as the best m d m
through which to reach the gen.
eral reader. This shows that
they are wise in their day and
generation.
The question of railroa d
freight and passenger rates is
not only important but intricate,
ard it is doubtful if any person
is fully qualified to say just what
is the proper tariff to apply to
the state at large. There is no
question that the railroads have
previously Disseminated in ia
vor of the Twin Cities as against
the small country town. For
instance, as The Herald has been
reliably informed, the 500 rail
road has charged a greater tariff
on flour from Alexandria to
White Earth than from Mime
apolis to White Earth. This, of
course, is all wrong as it works
to create a monopoly in favor Of
the Minneapolis miller. Sank
Centre 'sGfour mill, too. has suf-
fered from similar discrimina-
ton.
On the other hand, Sank Cen
tres radiator factory, an infant
industry; which all are interest
ed in promoting, has now a spec
ial commody rate which enables
it to compete with the city con-
Germs in that line. The secre-
tary of the Radiator Corporation
informs The Herald that the
eastman bill would operate to
deprive that concern of it's favor.
able rate.
And there you are. Some in
dustries suffer from one cause
and some from another. The
man who can work out tariff
schedule that will inure to the
benefit of all the small towns is
the man WHO will be very well
come in the existing emergency.
Whether the eastman bill will
bring this about The Herald is
unable to say. r he Herald,
however, is positive that the
cities generally have no incon-
siderable advantage over the in
terror towns. 1t will do no harm
to study both sides of the ques
ton.

whether women should be at

EVENING CHAT
Condolences and Justice.
BY RUTH CAMERON

There are a great many people in
this world who always take sides with
the person with whom they are talk
ing, when that person brings up any
grievance against another.
We all know that type of person,
and we cannot help feeling this SYM
pathy comforting, even though we
know at the bottom of our hearts that
if the other party to the grievance con-
hdeS in her the sympathetic one will
undoubtedly take sides with the other
party just as strongly as she has with
US.
There is also another type, somewhat
rarer, and yet known to most of us,
who under similar conditions always
take the side of the absent party
You tell such a person how much
more than your share of the work you
were obliged to do on that supper COM
mittee, and instead of sympathizing
with you she suggests that perhaps you
didn't realize how much the other
members did.
You tell a member of this type how
ungrateful some friend has been for
the faVors you have done her, and the
unsympathetic one tells you that your
friend may be more grateful than YOU
know, and may not understand just
how to show her gratitude thing
which you well know is not true since
she had several excellent opportunities
open to her and did not take any of
them.
Undoubtedly these people act in this
way because they are exceedingly anx-
ious to be just. They dislike the hypo-
crisy of the ordinary confidante who
always gives wholesale sympathy to
the confider, regardless of where the
rights of the case lie. But aren't they
quite as unjust? In the effort to get
away from hypocrisy, aren't they slant
ing over backward into another kind of
injustice? The right of the case does
not always lie with the absent party
any more than with the one who is
there to speak for himself.
A judge who always decided for the
poor man would not be any more
square than he who always decided for
the rich litigant-though 1 agree with
Mr.. Roosevelt that if were in doubt
I'd swing the balance toward the poor
man every time.
And so a conf1dante who always de-
cides for the absent party isn't any
fairer than he who always oversteps in
sympathy for the confider.
once knew a case where two sis
tiers each firmly believed that the moth
er was Partial to the other because
when either sister carried any griev-
ance against the other to their mother.
the mother always sided emphatically
with the absent party. no matter where
the rights of the case lay. Naturally
smarting under the injustice that the
mother sometimes inflicted in this way
each sister felt her mither was partial
to the other.
Just as I'd give my decision for the
poor man hen the right OF the case was
absolutely balanced, so, under the same
conditions, I should prefer to side with
the absent party because he isn't there
to speak for himself. But when the
right is plainly on the side of your
WI xy No e
you aren't willing to do that, you can
at least be silent.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1913-08-16

No American tourist in Europe need
therefore assume henceforth the apollo
getic attitude Science has e1ucidated
him to himself. and what was once a
blind instinct has been recognized as
dignified necessity. 1t is psychology
ical case"
But even while this is SO, it is borne
in upon us from various directions that
the American tourist might very well
get more fresh food, more change, for
his brain without leaving his own lati-
tude than he has hitherto been con-
scious of. There are signs that we are
beginning slowly to awaken to the
truth that the North American Cont
nent holds elements of interest as deep
and as full of elusive suggestiveness
as the most imaginative traveller could
desire.

FROM OTHER PENS
THE BALKAN KINGS.

We venture to think that the Ger
man Emperor has been unsupported,
or misunderstood, in his alleged sar-
castle remarks as to the monarchS OF
the Balkans. He is alleged to have
said that all save his brother-in-law,
Constantine of Greece, stayed at home
and 'combed their dogs" That is
not quite true. Car Nicholas of
Montenegro might possibly have
served his country better had he CON
fined his attention to the toilet of his
canine pets, but as a matter of fact
he was at the front and went there
before his allies were ready to act.
And though Constantine was with his
troops much of the time, and is 10y
ally credited with their triumphs,
these We're quite as much due to the
mastery diplomacy of NJ Venizelos,
the gifted Premier of Greece, whose
tact and foresight and firmness
brought about the com binations which
first made the alliance possible and
then made possible the terrific defeat
visited on Bulgaria by Greece and
NEST pas soldat qui veut''-not ev-
cry one who wishes can be a soldier
and, if Constantine really be one
(reports differ as to that). his great
est gift to his subjects has been in his
cordial cooperation with the saga
cious statesman, the responsible head
of the government. The day for mon
archs, monarchs to lead their
armies in person is past. Forty years
ago Napoleon III. made a terrible
botch of that business and some Ger
man authorities hold that Wilhelm l.,
on the field of battle, was rather a
hindrance than a help. At Gravelotte
he had to be urged, and almost forced,
from a post of great peril to himself.
where he was by no means service
able to the commander on whom the
responsibility really rested, nor must
ii be forgotten that the present Ger
man emperor has brought his coun-
try to it's actual position of military
primacy in Europe by the steady
building up of a stupendous army,
which, with rare intelligence, pa
thence and skill, he has kept from fir
ing a single shot. Should the time
ever come when he would have to
summon it to fight, we doubt very
much that he would undertake to
lead it.-New York Times.
