DECISION PLEASES WILSON.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2l.-The de-
cision OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission In the Eastern advance
rate case was highly gratifying TO
Administration officials today.
II was believed that the action OF
the commission in granting to the
railroads in official classification ter
ritory the right to advance their
freight rates per cent. except upon
certain heavy commodities which
comprise a large bulk Of the traffic,
would pave the way for an immediate
revival of prosperity throughout the
United States.
President Wilson. Il is known. was
greatly pleased by the decision, al
though no formal statement has been
given out by him. He expects the
decision will have an immediate effect
on the country's economic situation.
The President has let it be known
all along that he believed improve
ment OF business conditions generally
hinged to some extent on additional
revenues being provided for the rail-
roads.

RATE DECISION
FAIR, SAYS REA
He Sees Beginning of Board
Constructive Policy To
ward Railways
URGES COOPERATION
ON PUBLlC'S PART

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2l.-Presi-
dent Samuel Rea OF the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, in a statement
lust issued, asserted that he regarded
the railroad rate decision handed
down by the Interstate Commerce
Commission Friday as the beginning
OF broad, constructive policy In
railroad regulation. The statement
says:
This decision certainly indicates
that the commission has been seri-
ously impressed by actual railroad
and financial conditions. and we re-
cognize that the commission has care
fully considered the entire situation
and rendered what it believes to be
fair and equitable decision.
Half Of Business Affected.
"The decision, however, grants an
increase on only about so per cent. oil
the freight business of our system
and is not SO far-reaching as the
railroads believe to be necessary
therefore the railroads, as the Oon
mission emphasizes, must continue
their efforts to conserve and augment
their revenue from the sources th'
Commission previously recommended
. 1--WE desire prosperity but It is i'm
possible for the country to prosper
while railroad revenues and ereai
are inadequate, and therefore the IN
creased rates should be general!
helpful.
"Relying on the protection Of pub
lie regulation we will utilize the ad
ditional revenue in continuing GU
lines and equipment in good condition
/ TO give the best possible public servic
and in sustaining our credit on
sound basis.
"The Federal Government should
in the same spirit, award the rail
roads the admittedly just compensa
ton, so long withheld, for the car
riage of malls and parcels post; an
the citizens should see to it that tn
legislatures. Federal and State, re
lieve the railroads from enforce
wasteful expenditures.
Under such a helpful policy put
lie regulation rests on a solid four
dation and confidence and prosperit
will be duly encouraged"

Police Justice Fabian Posey, of Fred
erick City, a native of this county, be-
lieves in severe punishment for brutal
husbands. This was evidenced last
week by the fact that when one Ohio
Spencer was brought before him charg-
ed with beating and mistreating his
wife the Justice promptly found him
guilty and as promptly sentenced him
to ten lashes at the whipping post.
The woman who appered in Court with
a swollen face and discolored eye, said
that because she did net wait on the
corner, on that awful Monday when the
blizzard was in full force, he beat her
10 the face with his fists. County
Sheriff Conrad administered the whip
ping in the jail with a rawhide. We
commend Justice Posey for his very
proper punishment of bruts.
