ciety racks with filth unspeake-
able Literature is bearing in
abundance the apples of lustful
Sodom. The streets of the city
are infested with denizens of the

vice is eating away at the vitals

And there is not the slightest
question that for much of the
wickedness of the day whiskey is
directly responsible. The whis-

twin sisters of darkness. If the

A great sea bat weighing mole

,ile bay by Thos. C. Cairns, OF
birmingham, afteran all day bat
le and 25 men hauled it out at
Bayou la Batre. 1t had towed q
)owerfuf gasoline launch for six
lours.
The fish was Ia feet across the
Jack and 10 feet 6 inches from
he mouth to the beginning OF
the tail. Thoug b it was not
weighed, old fishermen believe
that it is the largest specimen ev.
r landed in the Gulf of Mexico.
The other one caught near Mo-
oile weighed $500 pounds, it is

Mr.. Cairns says that the fish
was sighted at Dauphin Island in
the early morning. The launch
vas driven alongside and a har-
poon thrown into the fish. The
narpoon was attached to 6OOfeet
of one-quarter inch sash cord.
The fish towed the 18-footlaunch
occupied by Mr.. Cairns and the
boatmen, developing a high rate
OF speed. Several times when the
ish would come to the surface
Mr.. Cairns would fire at it with a
.3S-caliber revolver, but with ap-
parently no effect.
Finally, late in the afternoon,
the fish was tired out and towed
alongside the tug Laura. Next
morning the Laura towed the
launch and the devil fish into
Bayou la Bate. Mr.. Cairns says
the harpoon lines were put over
the stern of the launch and the
engine run ahead for six hours in
an effort to tire out the monster.
When Bayou la Batre was
reached it required 25 men to
haul the monsterup on the beach.

Railroads insist that ther prop
erty should be assessed for taxa
tion on exactly the same basis as
private property. But, when it
comes to question of the basis
upon which they should be allow
ed to earn dividends, the railroads
insist that the basis should be,
not the amount of money actu-
ally invested, but the amount up
on which they have to pay inter.
est, including a vast amount OF
bonus or gratuitous stock, issued
without any valid considerations
This is manifestly unjust. II they
pay taxes on the low assessment
basis they should be restricted to
to that basis on the question Of
dividend earning. It IL no answer
to claim that private property is
taxed on a lower basis of value
than is railroad propety, for pri-
vate property holds no special
franchise to make money out OF
the public. Whatitmakes is earn.
ed in open market and in compe-
tition with all otherprivateprop-
erty. What the railroads make
is out of the public necessities of
travel q n d transportation OF
freight, and without competition
in the territory over which each
railroad runs. The courts say
that railroads must be allowed
to earn enough to pay the inter.
est on it's bonds, to declare reas-
enable dividends on it's stock, and
to improve and secure the up
keep OF it's property, butno more.
All this is allowed them afterpay.

earnings no account is taken OF

ers. After all the operating ex.
penses Of private property have
been paid, improvements and re-
newals made, and the ownerpaid
for his and his servants expenses,
time and labor, there is rarely any
surplus left for dividends. Pri-
vate property suffers losses from
various causes sjustas do railroads
from wrecks etc. All it should be
required to pay to the State is
the tax rate laid by law on it's
true value. That value should
be determined by it's earning ca
pacity. The same should be true
of railroads. The reason the State
should not restrict the earnings
of private property is because it
enjoys no special privilege. The
reason the State should restrict
the earnings of railroads to q re-
asonable return on it's earning
power is because they hold special
privileges, without which they
could do nothing whatever.
There should be but one stand
ard for the railroads, that of tax
alton or that ofdividend earning.
The railroads should not be al
lowed to earn dividends on a high
valuation unless they pay taxes
on that basis also.

Free Tells Repealed.
On the night OF the 18th inst
the bill for the repeal Of free tolls
for American coastwise shipping
passed the senate by q voteo of so
to IS, aclear majority oils. The
repeating actcarried the Simmons
amendment which expressly re-
serves all rights we may have un-
der the treaty with England, call
ed the Hay-Pauncefort treaty.
Thirteen republicans Joined 35
democrats in favorofits passage,
while eleven democrats, led by
O'Gorman, the Tammany mem
ber from New York, fought the
bill to the bitter end, thus joining
forces with "a dyed-in-the wool
republicans. The se n a tie has
dwadled over this matter since
March 3Ist, going over and over
the same groundagain and again.
Not one new idea has been ad-
vanced since the house sent the
bill to the senate. Every scheme
and deviceknown to the reaction
ary wingo of the democratic party
was resorted to todelay the vote,
for it, has been known for two
months what the result would
be-,
There was method in this ap-
parent madness; for close on the
repeal of this bill was to follow
the balance of the legielation de-
manded by President Wilson in
order to complete the reform
measures the democratic party
promised the country it would
pass if entrusted with power. By
delaying the vote on the canal
tolls, consideration of the trust
bills would be corresponpingly de
layed. That is what the inter-
ests most fear-the passage of
laws to prevent interlocking d.
eectorates, definition of what is
restraint of trade, the appoint
ment of a commission to advise
corporations as to the proper oh
servance of the trust laws etc.
Now, that there is nothing to
hinder, it remains to be seen just
how many of the democrats who
voted against the repeal of free
tolls will vote against this anti
trust legislation.
Another motive has operated
to influence both congressman
and senators-jealousy of Wood
row Wilson. Allmen see that un-
less he is broken down now he will
sweep the country two years
hence. The men who fought his
nomination are fighting him still.
Underwood, Clark, O'Gorman
and other leaders opposed his
nomination, and have foughthim
ever since, whenever they dared.
But he has triumphed on every
issue to date, and will triumph
both in trust legislation and in
thepeaceful and permanentsettle-
ment of the Mexican situation.
For he is a patriot, and the coun-
try is rapidly finding it out. He
is making his administration one
of service. He is carrying out the
cammand of the meek and lowly
Nazarene of "Bear ye one anoth-
ers'burdens, which isjust anoth-
or way Of carrying out that ''new
commandment: that ye love one
another"
The House accepted the bill as
amended by a large majority.
