by Roads.
PROTEST IS MADE
Rate Expert of South Dakota
Railroad Commission on
Stand in Chicago.

Chicago,-Analysis of Goa freight
rates to South Dakota points was
made before w. NJ. Daniels, interstate
commerce commissioner, in the hear
ing Of the petition of IL western rail-
way systems which are seeking an
advance in freight rates on certain
commodities.
b. L.. Kelley, rate expert of the
South Dakota railroad commission,
presented comparisons OF coal freight
rates with Goa rates, in other sections
of the country. Hiss figures covered
both eastern coal entering the north
west by the Lake Superior gateway
and coal hauled from the Illinois and
Indiana mines. He interpreted the
figures, which he detailed as show
ing that South Dakota points already
suffer from discrimination in freight
rates and the proposed advance of
10 cents a ton would be an additional
burden. After explaining the eXhib-
its offered by him, Mr.. Kelley said:
Points to Discrimination.
The proposed advance in blum
nous coal rates would further SER
lously retard the industrial develop
ment of South Dakota, now held in
check By its inability to obtain an
ample fuel supply upon a reasonable
transportation basis"
His testimony laid stress on the
contention that the haul to South Da-
kota consuming points was from two
to three times the average haul of
soft coal for the entire country.
notwithstanding this situation"
said Mr.. Kelley, 1.-The rate per ton
mile is higher. though normally it is
an accepted rule of rate making that
the longer the haul is, the lower the
rate per ton mile should be-"
I'VE claim here" said the witness,
that the carriers are endeavoring to
heaviest and largest tonnage they
carry. The interstate commerce com
mission reports show that bituminous
coal made up the following percen-
Stages of the total tonnage of the lead
ing western lines involved in this
case:
Burlington 31.O9 per cent; st.
Paul 1902; Northwestern 11.6S:
Rock Island 1897; Great Northern
GAL; Omaha $40; Minneapolis and
st. Louis 22.39; South Dakota Cen
trail 21.44; 500 6.S2; and Illinois
Central 1912 per cent"
The proposed increases, the wit
ness estimated, would cost coal con-
sumers in South Dakota more than
sol 900 per year

REV. PATRICK j. MURPHY
SPEAKS LAST EVENING TO
PACKED HOUSE IN CITY
HALL AUDITORIUM.

Bitter in his denunciation of the
liquor traffic, Rev. Patrick J.. MUIR
ply, of Dalhart, Tex. a priest of the
Roman Catholic church, last evening
addressed a crowd which filled the
city hall auditorium. Father Murphy
is regarded as one of the strongest
speakers against the licensing of sa-
looms.

ther Murphy in opening his address,
Il had the pleasure during a period
OF three weeks, and until the rains
had washed it out, of seeing on the
sidewalk pavement of a Texas city
my own blood, where it was spilled
by a Texas bartender In an eTort to
take my life. That little incident
helps to account for my being mere
today, as a Catholic priest. to regis
tor a solemn protest against a bust
ness, which, by its very nature, may
tAAS AIMING vi JIG ~ VI
any mar.
My principal reason however, for
being with you, in this magnificent
assembly is this: | want to make one
assertion that will go out through
the press. and in printed form enter
into every Catholic home. That IL
assertion is this: In the campaign
that is now on, every Roman Catholic
is absolutely free to work for and to
vote for prohibition. l am determin-
cd that, if it is in my power to pre-
vent it, no combination Of the liquor
interests shall compel any considera-
able number of the Catholic people
to form a solid center for the army
now being marshaled to fight the last,
hard losing battle for the saloon.
THE church of Jesus Christ is
supposed to stand for something high
er than the saloon business. And the
day has now gone by in every Ameri=-
can commonwealth, when any church
man or any leader in any church
can come out in defense of the sa-
loon business and achieve anything
thereby but a most unenviable To-
toriety. The man who tells you that
the Catholic church is for the saloon
is doing a grave injustice to the re-
ligion of fifteen millions of the Amer
lean people. The man who tells you
that the Catholic priesthood and the
Cathlic bishops of America are the
allies Of the saloon business-the
ma who tells you that is guilty of a
gross and serious misrepresentation.
TT prove the two assertions just
made. let me cite a few brief senten-
ces. The first citation is from a work

inns, II it comes from the highest
authority in the Catholic church in
the United States. That highest au-
torlty is the Third Plenry Council of
Baltimore, which vas held in 1854:
and one of its pronouncements was
the following: We admonish Catho-
lies engaged in the sale of intoXi-
eating liquors to consider seriously
how many and how great are the
dangers and the occasions of sin with
which their business, though not in
Itself illicit, is surrounded. Let them,

member that there is an Avenger in
heaven, who will certainly demand
OF them a terrible retribution.'
rs the saloon business, as we have
it today, an evil thing and a thing
that cannot be changed into a bene-
fetal thing. Is there not such a
thing as a good saloon? Are we not
condemning it because of its associa-
tons? You might as we'll talk about
a decent rattlesnake OF a respectable
hell. We certainly condemn saloons
because of their associations; but We
are not unmindful of the fact that
the meanest thing about a saloon is
the salon itself. Do YOU know what
a saloon is A saloon is a licensed
bonded and protected resort for men,
where, by the use of an irritant poi
son known as alcohol. moderate drink
ers are first produced, and then some
of these moderate drinkers are on
verified into ~drunkards.
There is not a saloon in the Unit
ed States today that has cot purpose
ly and knowingly produced some
drunkards. A saloon is an institution
for making drunkards. Drunkenness
does not make a man respectable to-
day. 1t does not recommend him for
a responsible position. 1t does not
not entitle him to the confidence of
his friends. The railroad company
does not want a drunkard i'll the train
or on the locomotive. The steamship
company does not want him on the
bridge. The commercial house or
banking institution does not want
him handling its funds. The NOR
chant does not want him behind the
counter. The manufacturer does not
want him beside the machine. We do
not call in a drunken physician if we
are much for the patient. We do
not hire a drunken lawyer if we want
to gain a suit. We do not want drunk
en- teachers in our schools. We do
hot want drunken judges on the
bench. You can go right ahead and
elaborate on that just as much as
you like. One of the strongest arau-
ments along that line against the sa-
loon may be summed up in these
words: The saloon makes drunkards;
the supply of %drunkards at the pres
cnt time is beyond the demand; let
us close down the works until ad-
vancing civilization finds some use
for the product" at
