The Stars remarks regarding the
popular approval in this part of the
state. 1t is difficult for anybody to
discover what Messrs. Burr, Bitch
and Dunn are doing to earn their
generous salaries, which were con-
siderably raised at the last meeting
of the legislature. They should be
replaced at once by men who would
show an uncompromising disposition
to stand up for the rights of the
people.

prised at the almost universal COM
mendation it has received for declar-
ing itself in favor of government
ownership of railroads. 1t has no
doubt that a majority OF the people

tunity offered. And this majority
isn't made up of socialists, dreamers
nor DISCONTINUED and shiftless peo-
pie. 1t is heavily represented among
our practical and successful men.

Alabama democrats have chosen
wisely in nominating Underwood for
senator. His defeat would have been
a reflection on the party and mis-
fortune for the country. The Star
has always admired Hobson as a
naval officer, but never was stuck on
him as a statesman. In trying to
carry thru any measure, he generally
appeals to hysteria rather than to
reason. AS his candidacy for the
Senate cut him off from reelection
to the lower house, he will try pri-
vate life for awhile after March 4,
1915.

SENATOR O'GORNsAN THE
CHAMPION OF SUBSIDY

The New York World shows up
the representative of Tammany in
the United States Senate very ac-
curarely as follows:
Unless the World is misinformei,
Senator O'Gorman drafted the canal
tolls plank in the Baltimore plat
form.
The issue was not called TO the at
tention OF the convention. There
was no delegate in that convention
who had a direct mandate from his
constituents to demand this special
privilege for the coastwise monopoly
There was no delegate in that con-
vention whom democratic voters had
sent there to battle for the repudia-
ton OF treaty obligation. The plank
was unostentatiously smuggled into
| the platform, and at the same time
| the convention adopted the tradi-
tional democratic declaration in fav-
| or OF the development of the mer-
subsidies from the public treasury"
| Why Senator O'Gorman is so keen
| ly interested in the canal tolls ex-
emption, We do not know; but it
seems to be the one plank in the
Baltimore platform that commands
his undivided loyalty. Certainly this
eminent Tammany statesman mani
tested no such enthusiasm over tar
if reform as he manifests over spe-
/ cial privileges for the coastwise mo-
nopoly. When the currency bill
was before the Senate the gentleman
from New York was trying to twist
the Baltimore platform into dec
laration to favor a central bank. But
we are bound to admit that even his
devotion to a central bank was not
so keen as his devotion to subsidies
and treaty-breaking.
That the coastwise exemption is {
subsidy, even Senator O'Gorman can
dent signed the bill, defended it or
the express ground that it was E
subsidy. Col. Goethals, who built
the canal, has explained to Congress
that every dollar of tolls exemption
means a dollar drawn from the Unit
ed States treasury without CORE
spending benefit to anybody excep
the privileged ship-owners.

Ihe United States geological survey
has issued a report upon cadmium a
metal which has achieved the distinc-
ton of being known as "the automatic
fireman., by reason of the uses to
which it is put. The survey states that
there is a plentiful supply of cadmium
in the United States, and that "only a
sufficient demand for the metal is
needed for this country to become d
great producer" In years past Ger
many has been the principal cadmium
producing country. The report says, in
part:
Most manufacturing establishments,
industrial warehouses and department
stores are equipped with an automatic

Following the Practice recently adopt

simultaneously, that yard estimates
unit cost from S12,580 to $1,000 less
than for one. These estimates were
nearly 100000 less than the private
bids
The new destroyers will be the larg-

their tonnage running up to LILO, or
about 20 per cent more than the vessels
now under construction of the same
class. On this slight increase the de-

LAS important as the matter of pro-

more important are the matters OF

ter maintenance OF roads already con-
structed. The nation is now expending
more than $500, 100000 annually for
the construction and maintenance of
roads, and it is clear that we are not

TENS in states, the development of bet
