SOME LOCAL FREIGHT RATES.

Legislation calculated TO curb the
state public service commission in the
fixing of freight rates, with the end
in view Of stopping what is contended
to be discrimination against the farm
ers, Will probably have to be consid-
cred by the coming Indiana assembl by.
While all railroads. with the consent
CT the commission. are said to be
maintaining such discriminatory rates,
the Pennsylvania systematic Pitts
nurgh, Cincinnati, Chicago x St. Louis
Ry. Co.'s said to be particularly at
fault.
Complaint comes from Plymouth,
and has to do in the main with ship
ments of agricultural limestone in
comparison with the rates charged for
shipment Of crushed stone or screen
ings for other uses. Taking Kenneth.
Ind, as a shipping point for instance,
the difference in rates to most any
where in the state runs from ten to
forty cents on the ton, and, beyond
the state line similarly, with the an
nounced approval of the Interstate
Commerce commission. To South
Bend, from Kenneth. for example, the
rate over the Vandalia is 20 cents for
agricultural limestone and SO cents
for crushed stone or screenings, and
those Directing to the differentiation
insist that it is without the least ex-
cuse under the sun.
In Illinois a straight rate is said to
Rave been established of half cent
per ton per mile on all crushed stone
and it is probable that an effort will
be made TO have a similar law in In
diana. of course, with a reasona BILE
minimum We are indisposed 10 as
sert that there is real injustice in the
Indiana classification-only that. it
looks so on the face of it. There may
be reasons that we do not understand.
The farmers are certainly justified in
pushing the issue and finding out for
themselves if they can. We cannot
see why crushed or screened stone or
limestone should be any different if
shipped for agricultural use or for
municipal or industrial uses.
But watch for a significant railroad
lobby about the state house, should
such a bill be presented; that is. if
the assembly does not see fit TO pro
vide some sort of efficient lobby regu-
lations We will no doubt hear the
railroads side of the story later.

Ninety-five to 81 of every 100 per-

AS a matter of fact, according to
science, there's but one possible con-

and it is YER slight.
Smoke or dust in the air make what
the scientists call ''nuclei'-little CEN
ters around which moisture may form
if there happens to be enough mois-
ture in the air Q But the fact that
smoky Pittsburg is one of the drlest
places in the country rather dampens
even this theory.

Battles are usually fought when
weather conditions have for some time

Tobacco makes all men brethren. In
our Civil war it was common prac-
tice for ''Yanks" and "Johnnies' to
arrange imprOmptu truces on the
battle or picket line to barter for to-
baccO with the enemy. Now Great
Britain, commanding the sea routes
whereby tobacco reaches the various
belligerents. has declared that she will
rot treat the weed as contraband and
will make no seizures.
This is possibly the most humani-
tartan action of the war. For II is
purely disinterested, and it involves
the supplying of the enemy with one
of the most valuable and essential war
materials.
Soldiers must have their tobacco.
Tommy Atkins is described as lighting
his pipe at night uncOncerned by the
instant fusilladc that follows. Richard
Harding Davis. observing the march
of a German army through Belgium
on the way TO the battle front, noted
that nine-tenths of the men held
cigars between their teeth, and the
marching column might have been
traced far by the rising smoke.
