EDITORIAL OBSERVATIONS
(CORtrihuted.)
DEMOCRATS MORE HOPEFUL.

The prospects for Democratic sue
/, cess, nationally, at the polls next. year
are becoming more encouraging all the
time and Republican leaders frankly
admit that their chances to. come
back are not rosy. Business is E0-
covering and the Wilson prosperity,
which prevailed throughout 1913 and
until the fearful conflict burst uponthe
great European powers the latter part
oil last year is expected to return with
the close of the wal within the next
six or eight months. Signs Of activity
in the great financial centers are al
ready apparent and conditions will
more than likely improve as time
passes along. There ia a feeling of OPP
timism in business circles through
out the East, and the Western half Of
the country has not been seriously
affected at any time since the internaH
tional disturbance began.
/! Another hopeful aspect is seen in the
failure of the Republicans to unite
upon a man to oppose Mr.. Wilson who
stands in a class to himself as a pop
ular leader and an able executive. The
differences which arose between the
President and some Democratic mem
bers of congress, over the question OF
canal tolls and the ship purchase bill
during the last few months, were view
ed with no small degree of satisfaction
By Republican leaders in Washington
and elsewhere. They pictured a seri-
GUS break in the Democratic ranks and
had pleasant dreams of a return to the
old flesh pots. Their hopes were aug
mented by the election returns in Nov
ember which resulted in the return OF
joseph G. Cannon and other old timers
to the House and materially reduced
the Democratic majority in that body
An effort to decide upon a winner was
immediately started and all of thu
availabIes have been closely scruti
nized.
In the meantime, there has been :
reaction and the tide is now setting
strongly towards the Democracy, will

MIR. FELLOWS POSITION

MIX. fELLOW' POSlIlON
Our objection 20 the action OF
the attorney general isn't so much
based on a request for further in
formation as it is upon Mr. Eel
lows position before the railroad
committee of the legislature,
where he actually argued that
there must be scientific investi-
cation OF the passenger rates be-
fore they can be raised. Presum-
ably that is based on the fact that,
eight years ago, the legislature
arbitrarily reduced those same
passenger rates without any scien-
tific investigation at ALL AS mat
ter of fact q scientific investiga-
ton would take two years. In
that time under a continuation of
existing conditions some OF the
railroads will actually go out of
business. The Pere Marquette re-
ceiver says II will be necessary TO
divide that old property into in-
tegral parts with a resultant de-
terioration of service. The chair
man OF the state railway commits
sion says that II will take three
millions more In earnings 10 per-
nit Michigan railways TO pay in
terest charges on funded debts.
The passenger rate proposed will
permit an increase OF half mill
lion. And that isn't considering
any earnings whatever on stock.
II may be a popular thing to hold
the railways up further as Mr.
Fellows proposes. II may be a
good stroke OF politics to stick the
knife into the corpse few more
times but we believe that the peo-
Pile generally are sick and tired OF

CROSBY VS. RAILROAD
is NOW ON TRIAL
Suit to Recover Freight Charges Paid
by Mistake to Boston & Maine
for Hauling Car of Grain.

After several motions had been
made and denied in chambers yester-
day at county court in Newfane Judge
+. NJ. Butler set the case of George
c. Averill against the Vermont Valley
Railroad Co. for a jury trial April %
at , clock unless some other date is
agreed upon. This case is one that
arose over a dispute as to boundaries
Of the property of the two parties.
The ease Of T. Crosby 6 Co. against
the Boston & Maine railroad Is being
tried today. This is an action to re-
cover $50 and interest from 1909 to
date from the railroad company for
freight paid by mistake. A car of
corn was shipped to Milton, n. H., by
mistake instead of to Milton. VT The
grain company arranged to dispose of
the car shipped to the New Hampshire
town and ordered another to be sent
to Milton, VT The railroad however,
hauled the car to Milton, Vt, without
orders and the agent of the grain firm,
by mistake paid the freight bill. The
railroad has refused to refund the
money, claiming that such action
would make it liable to penalty for
rebating.
