When the Railroads swanted Lower Rates

WI HnE the Panama Canal was expected
w TO change the trade routes Of the world
its effect upon American trade routes has al
ready been much greater than any one antici-
pated. Freight can be shipped from Pacific
to Atlantic coast ports by the canal so much
cheaper than by rail that the all-rail routes
have lost much business. 1t was TO put the
railroads in a condition to meet this new COM
petition that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission has permitted reduction in trans
continental rates, and now the charge for
a long haul may be less than for short
haul.
This is in accordance with the long-estab-
lished policy of providing for rail competition
with water routes and is in the interest OF
the shipping public. The railroads them
selves asked for reduction In rates and they
regarded this reduction as equally impor-
tant with the 8 per cent. increase which they
recently received permission to make. AS
business adjusts itself to the now Panama
route. It is likely that still further change in
railroad rates will have to be made.

Liquor Advertisements in Alabama

TT MAY not be constitutional for Legtsla-
i ture to forbid the newspapers In State to
print liquor advertisements, as has been done
in Alabama but it is good policy for the
newspapers to refuse to assist in enlarging
the market for strong drink. Nearly all of
the reputable magazines long ago ceased
printing such advertisements and tho better
class of daily newspapers do not admit the
announcements Of brewers or distillers to
their columns.
Liquor and patent medicines are grouped
together in a forbidden class, and they are
nearer kin than many innocent and unsus-
pecting persons used to imagine The Ala
bama newspapers, therefore. which are
threatening to test the constitutionality of
the law, might better observe It and reserve
their energies to fight for things worth while

THIs is not the frst time that this estimate

the first time that It has been uttered where
II could be put on the official records.
AS the judgment OF a fair-minded political
opponent comes about as close to the judg-

esting to find that the contemporary estimate
of the wise men Of his own party Is shared
by one qualified as Senator Lodge is for fore
casting the verdict OF the future.

NOBODY IN CONGRESS
LIKE ]. ADAM BEDE
But He Makes Occasional Visits-A
Suggestion That Senator'S and Repre-
sentatives Be Taught the English
Language - Chautauqua Prospects
Look Good.
BvLC HFMpHILL

T ADAM BEDE was In town last week. He
~ did not state his business but he was here
doubtless for some good purpose. Not many
years ago he was member of Congress from
"the zenith city of the unsalted seas" and he
was quite an interesting figure in the public
life of his times He always said some-
thing" and was occasionally on the right
side Of important questions. He had a sense
of humor without which, in the opinion OF
Mr. Taft, life is hardly worth the living; but
the more dense and sober-slded constituents
of Mr.. Bede could not the sound
philosophy underlying his sometimes trihing
treatment of public questions and they con-
cluded to keep him at home preferring to
endure their own indigestion rather than to
share It with the great body-politic.
They have never had anybody like him here
since his retirement, and they never will
until they send him back in no sense changed
for the worse by the years he has spent
grubbing for n living the Chautauqua
platform at so much per, after the manner
of another eminent statesman who need not
be more exactly identified.
One of the things that Adam said that
commanded applause was the very whole
some reflection he made upon the primary
system of making nominations for public
office, and the cheapening effect this plan
has had upon the quality of those who have
been elevated to high places in the Govern
ment of the country. 1t has been said very
truly that the new plan works well for two
classes of those who would occupy public
ohice-the ignorant and the corrupt. TAX
ing them by and large, man for man, and
the men who have won in the primaries will
not compare with the men who were named
by tho old convention system. They will not
admit 1t. but 1t is not necessary that they
should-"a tree is judged by it's fruit: there
they are in House and Senate; look at theml
At any rate Adam Bede is here longer
