Wallace of this city, and the same must be filed on or before November l, 1913, else the claim will be void, says the Russell vile Courier Democrat. By his ap- pointment by Judge Trieber as special master in the rate cases, Judge Wal lace will handle all claims for refunds, and he was empowered to appoint such clerical assistants as will be needed to audit and settle all claims.

K and Is entitled to no rebate. Some et thc passenger trains on the same Ana from RuSSellville to Fort Smith
 cross on the Frisco bridge, remaining entirely within the state, and in this case passengers would be entitled to rebate.
 Since the injunction was dissolved and the two-cent passenger rate is in
 effect, passengers on the Hot Springs express from here to Fort Smith buy their tickets at the two-cent rate All the other passenger trains cross on the other bridge, and the rate is three
 cents per mile. Passengers who do not find it convenient to wait for the 'two-cent" train usually buy tickets to Van Buren at two cents per mile
 and go from there into Fort Smith on the street car for five cents. We un- derstand that after August the two cent rate, which is also effective in ! Oklahoma, will be made to apply on
 all trains to Fort Smith.

GOO and S4,oo0,o00 IS que shippers and travelling public jn vehate$ for over. charges since the reduced rates were enjoined in 1908.
 All claims for refunds must be filed with Judge Wallace by the individual shippers or passengers entitled to same, and he Is empowered to exam inc witnesses, administer oaths and call upon the railroads for any data which will assist the shippers in mak- ing application for refunds. The rail roads were directed by Judge Trie- ber's decree to instruct the local pas senger and freight agents to furnish shippers with any information as is necessary for them to make proper ap- plication for refunds of overcharges.
 In the matter of passenger rates, we have heard no definite plans as to how this will be disposed of. The re- fund coupons issued with each pur- chase of ticket while the temporary injunction was pending must, of couse, be accepted for refund. but no plan has been announced for auditing claims for overcharges on tickets bought after the injunction was made permanent and the issue of coupons was discontinued.
 On freight shipments, the shipper or consignee entitled to the rebate, as the case may be, should file with the master all freight bills since Sep tember, 1908. This will be sufficient evidence where freight bills are still extant. Shippers who have not kept their freight bills, as we understand it, should hunt up their invoices, make list of all shi pments on which they are entitled to rebate, give date of in- voice, where goods were shipped from, and date he received goods, if possi- ble. With this list, go to the local freight agent and demand duplicate freight bills or some other evidence of the shipment. Details of this proceed ure will doubtless be announced later. Claims for rebate, both passenger and freight, will apply to traffic who'll ly within the state only. Shipments to or from St. Louis, Memphis or oth- CT points outside the state, or passen- ger tickets to points outside the state,
 will not be entitled to rebate. The starting point, destination, and the entire route traversed must be wholly within the bounds of the state. For
 instance, passenger traffic to Fort
 Smith from Russellville, if the train
 crosses over the Iron Mountain
 bridge, goes a short distance into Ok
 lahoma before reaching Fort Smith

A GREAT FIGURE GONE.

We nave lost very great man in the death OF
Mr.. Morgan, an uncrowned monarch. kingdom
or conspicuous political eminence accentuates the
bigness of really great man.
Without either of these to add to his stature, Mr..
Morgan reached equal emnence by his own inherent
qualities which made him easily the commanding
figure in the vast world of constructive and admin
istrative finance Mr.. Morgan was great from many
angles greatest of ALL perhaps in the bigness OF his
human qualities Ii was this human side, coupled
with his genius for leadership, that gave him
matchess following that compelled the unquestioned
confidence of men of affairs.
Mr. Morgan was man to lean upon, man upon
whom men leaned The executive man of high
est qualities must have keen vision an analytical,
logical mind, with initiative, courage, and force and
all of these of hign order. These, resting on
rugged honesty and rock-ribbed integrity, were the
structural qualities of Mr.. ]. Pierpont Morgan the
qualities that thrust him into the foreground as the
world figure that he was, ranking in his field with
the biggest men of this period in their respective
fields, whether in science, art, religion, politics, or
the sovereignty of kingdoms.
Mr.. Morgan was great because he was born
great There isn't much worth while comes out of
man that God didn't put into him. The best man
ever does in this world, his greatest achievements,
are not better than the natural fruitage of the quail
ties God lodged with him.

PUBLIC SERVICE VS.. PRIVATE REWARD

What would be thought if private financial
concern could get man distinguished for skill and
experience in handling large interests to perform
for $4,000 year work on the order of the following
functions of the Treasury Department.:
Supervising the Bureaus of Internal Revenue,
the Mint and Engraving and Printing; the Divisions
of Loans and Currency and of Public Money; the
offices of Treasurer of the United States, Register
of the Treasury, Comptroller of the Currency and
the Secret Service.
That is what Jonn Shelton Williams has under
taken to do for the United States Government as
Assistant Secretary. He is willing to devote to the
public service, for far less than he can COM
mand in private business, the ability which did so
much in building up the Seaboard Air Line Rail
way and in developing variety of business projects
that have proved his mettle of large affairs.
Even the reward that comes from distinction
such as Mr. McAdoo attains in the position of Sec
retary is measurably lacking. The post of Assistant
Secretary is not especially conspicuous, and the
average man who fills it sinks into obscuriY. Mr..
Williams may break precedent here, for the initia-
tive he has shown so often is bound to tell.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL HOUSE AS A
FORUM.

Some recent writers of historical novels, notably
Mary Johnston in Lewis Rand" have brought
home to Americans Of the present-day glmpses of
the time when the public opinion of the country
was formed in free discussion by citizens who gath
cred on courthouse greens, the front porches of
inns and in other public places of a century ago.
A revival of this condition in new form seems to
be desired by Miss Margaret Woodrow Wilson,
daughter of the President who, in letter to the
New York Times expresses the opinion tnat the
public school buildings are the natural places in
which to rally and organize the forces of self
government" Her view that they ought to be
forums for the discussion of public questions is
supplementary to the idea of their use as social and
recreatonal centers.
Use of these buildings for lectures, proper en-
tertainments and meetings of a civic but non
political character commends itself to almost every
body. How far they can be used for the discussion
OF political questions is not so easy to see II is
clear however tat cities lack forums for just that
sort of discussion, and whether they will be found
in the public Schools under suitable regulation, or
somewhere else, the need for them has made itself

HIGHER COST OF SEA POWER.

Prophets of peace have risen from time to time
10 say that the increasing cost of war will put
stop to il some day. They have been regarded
usually as dreamers, whose visions are based on an
indefinite future that is not worth thought by
statesmen of the present day.
But there are sig igns that the problem is coming
much closer than the so-called practical men whose
concerns are with budgets, guns and battleships
have supposed. The building of dreadnoughts and
superdreadnoughts and the constant changes in
field artillery and other army equipment have pro-
ceeded at such furious pace that things believed
impossible few years ago are now the daily reali-
ties of every and naval office of the great ma
tions. The new Pennsylvania, soon to be under
construction at Newport News will cost more tnan
81 100000. Her guns alone will cost nearly
Sl,000,O00; her armor, fully three times that
amount II is small wonder that statesmen hesitate
to launch fleets whose units have to be paid
for this staggering rate
{ Of course, one may reason that the increase is
ibound to stop somewhere. But the same idea, with
about the same relative indefneness, was in the
minds of budget makers years ago, and new ad-
vances in invention have upset their calculations
AT the time of the Spanish war, the practical use
of such monster floating fort as the PENNSYLVANIA
would have been considered almost out of the ques-
non. What the next twenty years will add TO the
science of naval construction is limited only by the
fTesourcefulness of man.
Winston ChurchilpS suggestion of wears truce
In laying down warshps is naturally regarded with
suspicion by the rivals of England Germany sees
for herself the prospect of permanent inferiority
as background for the situation toward which
Churchill proposes to lead the way. Great Britain
spared by her insular position from the need of
cnlarging her army program, would possess an en-
viable advantage if she could maintain her naval
superiority without increasing cost. She knows
that her food supply depends upon the capacity
of the navy to maintain the lines of oversee COM
munication and that these lines must be kept open
at every hazard. The present British naval budget
of $250O00,000 is one-fourth much as the entire
yearly expenditure of the United States and FIVE
hundred times much as the income of the Car
negie peace foundation, over which section of
public opinion has become so enthusiastic. With
IN annual sacrifice such as this it is not surprising
that anxious eyes should search for some means of
relief.
In truth. the time has come when all the Eu,

FOR FOOD TARIFF REDUCTIONS.

The conflicting opinions mat are reported 10 De
dividing the Democratic majority in Congress over
radical or moderate tariff reductions may not be
conflicting as some critics make out. President Will
son, by all credible authority, is the tariff arbter
His course throughout the revision process seems to
be indicated very clearly because his political neces
sites very plain.
The President is pledged to brace of tariff re-
suits. One is to bring down the cost Of living. The
other is not to "destroy-not in simple English, to
cut incomes down more than prices.
Congress could easily enough produce industrial
and commercial conditions that would precpitate a
sashng of all American prizes and sponging out OF
all American values This could be done by removing
al. he Payne-Aldr;ch barriers between nome products
and foreign products, letting in flood of imports to
sweep away American industries and to swamp Ameri
can wage-earners But this would be Democratic
suicide.
President Wilson does not favor and will not per-
nit new schedules that will close mills and factories
throwing out of employment their wage-earners. On
that side he is conservative tariff reformer
But he must strive to relieve the market pressure
on food products On that side he is radical smash
er of duties.
ANYTHING that the American consumers eat is
likely to be freed of protective duties. Right or
wrong in his theories, President Wilson will be back
ed up in such purpose by popular opinion In a
measure the same thing may be said of wearing ap-
pare But only in a measure. Here must be Con-
sdeyed the wage of the workman in the textile, the

private accounts of producers. This will be in

As for other things the worker in the mill, the
factory and the shop must hold his job and preserve
his pay or the ballot box reckoning will be Demo-
cratic damnaton.
To political forecasters of good judgment those
are the signs.

A LESSON THAT is HARD TO ESCAPE

The country is having good laugh at the office
seekers, and deserves to have it. With the sudden
accession of the Democratic party to power after
sixteen years of wandering in the wilderness, there
has been practical illustration of hunger for place
that has taught the country real lesson Acres Of
argument in favor of rational methods in filing
positions in the civil service could not have done it
half as well.
Golfers Weekly gives some cases in point One
applicant, perhaps with unconscious frankness,
writes: 81 have been a Democrat all my life and
worked the party at all times" Another Ia
bored for the cause without thought of reward, -
but friends have insisted" that he apply for the
position of doorkeeper Still another is not de-
TERED by the fact that the office he seeks is in the
classified service and adds 81 know that things of
this kind can be fxed.'
The whole situation gives ground for hope that
its absurdity will sink deep into the public mind
If the business of the Government is not so organ
lied in the near future that the futity of another
general onslaught on the offices will be apparent to
everybody, the dominant political party will be
asleep to one Of its best opportunities.
