/ and particularly the intermountain
| country. This revives the old question
involved in what has been known as
, the Spokane long and short haul case.
wherein the intermountain cites like
/ Spokane, Denver. Santa Re, etc. won.
after many years. their contention that
4 they should not be charged more for
the rail haul from the east than the
! railroads charged for o longer haul
from eastern cities 10 the Pacific
coast. Now the railroads want to re-
! establish the practice Of making the
! higher rate for international points
The position of the roads is that
they cannot afford 70 meet the compe-
tition Of the canal on through bust
ness il they are. obliged to make the
corresponding reductions TO inter-
mountain points that they want to
make for Pacific coast points. They
would rather surrender their business
to the canal, which. of course. they
/ ought TO CO. Otherwise they are tax
ing the people in the intermountain
\ districts to furnish cheap Transporter
ton for people living within the zone
! OF the coast rates They are perform
I ing a service below cost for the coast
cities at the expense Of above-cost
rates TO the intermountain cities to
meet the competition of the canal.
Under present rail rates. traffic
from the interior cities such as Pitts
burgh. Chicago and st. Louis, to the
Pacific coast Is TO be heavily handi-
capped with traffic originating on the
! Atlantic coast. The charge 20 the lat
ter cities is so great as possibly to de-
termine the location of factories and
thus contribute to the industrial de-
velopment Of the coast at the expense
OF the interior. This, at least. is the
claim of the railroads.
The competition Of the railroads
shows a disposition on their part To do
what railroads have always done-to
! try to eliminate water transportation
by cut-throat competition. and "be-
low-cost" service. They would like to
make their rail rate. temporarily at
least, so low that the goods would not
go as they ought TO go. by the cheap
est method of transportation, which is
water transportation through the ca
nal. If the canal were privately own
ed. there would be no difficulty. The
railroads would proceed TO do as they
have always done; either control or
own II, as they control or own the wa
ter terminals on the rivers and har-
bors OF the country. and then raise
rates 10 suit themselves. The fact
that the canal is government owned
for the first time establishes real wa
ter competition; hence the howl from
the transcontinental railroads.

THE CHAMBER or COMMERCE
SOCIAL SERVICE DEPART
MENT

When the Chamber Of Commerce
chose the title social service depart
ment" for its bureau Of so-called fed
Grated charities, 1t buiIded we'll. The
term is not misleading. 1t expresses
exactly what the department appears
10 be fora social service. The kind
OF social service that II will render is
q matter TO be determined from ex-
perience.
With the money proposed TO be rails
ed for the work. the contributors. and
the public as well. have a right to ex-
pect much. Surely great relief from
whatever suffering might exist here
this winter ought TO come from $4O.-
900. especially if judiciously applied
at a minimum OF expense. which is
reputed TO be one OF the department
purposes. 1t need not exempt anyone
from being personally charitable nor
additionally active If they are so in
clined. but Il furnishes an avenue Of
relief for those who prefer 10 make
their investments for such purpose
and have IL done with, without having
10 go on and witness the pangs OF pow
erty and other misfortunes that the
investments are intended to alleviate.
The work OF the Chamber of Com
nercc Is a sort OF social service-even
az its worst. The one primary purpose
OF the organization, that of securing
new institutions, that more men may
have employment and the people more
money TO spend. while at the same
time furnishing other people with de-
sirable things, is a social service and
one OF the most practical and perma-
nent types of social service. II is not
necessary TO don robes of philanthropy
&c hue in order 10 be socially servica-
Die. The best kind of social service in
the world is that which helps others
BY helping them TO help themselves
and without their knowing it.
Let the good work proceed. The
types are in harmony, the new de-
partment. We assume. being inaugu-
rated 10 aid the unfortunate pending
the time when general Improvement
OF conditions will render that service
less necessary. May it serve that pur
pose and stop there. 1t should not be
allowed TO act as a curtain behind
which 10 hide failures TO accomplish
more permanent and substantial OBJ
jects
The social service department Of the
Chamber is an important and benifi-
cent commission-but may il never
be used to cover a multitude of omis-
sions.

THEY SURELY CAN.

The women can shape the policy of
the stores. This applies whether it
be dry goods. drug. hardware. gro
Gerry. paint. meat. bakery or any 9th

The women really do the buying. as
merchants who run stores and adver-
tise and editors who run newspapers
and publish advertisements will testi-

What's the answer?
Why. let the women demand OF the
storekeepers goods Made in Amer
lea and the thing is settled. We

anything else that's put up for sale.

THE RAILROADS AND PANAMA
FREIGHT RATES.

The Panama canal Is already MAX
ing itself felt. In the excitement over
world wars, and elections, IL has re-
ceived little attention and few people
know that the vegetables canned In
Indiana this year are already being
shipped to the Pacific coast in large
quantities via the Panama canal. Such.
however, Is the case, and to such an
extent that the owners OF trans-conti-
mental railroads are already getting
"het up over IT. As usual. when these
gentlemen get ''het up they rush 70
the interstate commerce commission
10 get something done for them.
In this case they want the privilege
OF reducing rates. In order to institute
"cut-throat" competition with canal
rates One bunch Of railroad men is
asking the commission TO let them
raise rates. and another bunch wants
10 reduce rates. and each bunch is
shouldering the other for the ear of
the commission. Railroad rate maxi
ing is fine scientific business. II is
the science OF "all the traffic will
bear" and people in the middle west
will soon have TO wake up and see
how much they are going to bear.
The canal opened for business on
August Is. and since that time 4s
ships. having a capacity varying from
5000 10 Il, 300 tons have engaged in
handling freight through it to the Pa
cific coast. From as far west as Ohio
and Indiana freight Is now moving in
considerable volume by way OF New
York 20 the canal and the Pacific
coast states. A shipment of $4,000
tons OF wrought iron pipe from
one instance. The all-rail price across
the continent for freight Is 65 cents a
hundred-weight. The same freight
sent by way OF New York and the ca
nal costs IS cents per hundred weight
OF this sum. IS cents is consumed in
charges from Youngstown. Ohio TO
New York. and the other 80 cents
from New York 10 san Francisco. via

cradle quantities from the middle

canal route takes about 20 days, which
Is not much more than by the all-rail

his idea through which his brother
in-law, Brutus, slipped knife into
Caesar, but the overt act of Brutus
did not conceal the fine Italian

The habit of killing somebody

Rockefeller Foundation Will Trans

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-The Rookie
Teller Foundation announced Sunday
that in addition To the measures for
relief OF destitute Belgians which has
been arranged, it will provide a pier
and charter ships TO carry to Belgium

dividuals and others throughout
America.
This plan has been made in coope-
ration with the Belgian relief com

necessary supplies To Belgium as
quickly as possible, not in any way to
interfere with the entire freedom Of
individuals and organizations to give
relief as they see fit.
Robert w. Deforest chairman of
the committee. and John ID. Rockefel-
Ter, jr., have Joined in an appeal to
the American public TO cooperate
with them in collecting money and
supplies for the Belgian sufferers.

AFTER THE ELECTION.

AS the Chicago Tribune's Washing
ton correspondent observes, the cleo
ton was qualified democratic sue
cess 1t was not a republican land
slide ~ any means. Looking the re-
turns squarely in the face, il will be
seen that the rock ribbed republican
states, split two years ago by the
magic of Col. RooSevelts personality,
have swung back into their old
column. States like Pennsylvania,
/ Ohio and Illinois. long normally re-
publican. have once more become nor
NAL. New York may always be count
ed upon to do the sensational. This
year il swung strongly to the repub-
Leans. Two years from now 1t may
swing back just as strongly to the
democrats. The really significant thing
is that the democrats made gains in
the United States senate, in the first
election in which the people voted di-
rectly for their representatives in the
upper house of congress, Even in Illi-
nOis the democratic candidate came
near pulling through. OF course this
was due TO the strong showing made
by the progressive candidate, for
whom the colonel made n personal APP
peal.
Latest returns show that the demo-
Gratis of Michigan lost none of their
representation in congress. Both
Beakes and Doremus were reelected.
The republicans gained two, but at
the expense of the progressives. IN
other words the state is again having
it's normal representation at Wash
ingtOn.
Gov. Ferris showed the strength that
was expected. The people, by their
hearty endorsement at the polls, eN-
pressed their confidence in an able,
conscientious, high-minded executive.
In total vote of about $50, 300, the
governor will have plurality OF
something like $4,000, while all the
other republican state candidates may
go through with pluralities of $4,000.
This indicates that at least $4,000
voters scratched the head OF the state
ticket

But what will Cannon do without

For our part the sentiment appeals
TO US that the people of the Danville
