ular manufacturing concerns. and may
drive wholesalers and iobbers from
territory. in which an extensive busi-
ness has been established. Yet, it may
be found after a thorough investiga-
tlon that there was no occasion for the
advanced rates. We believe it fairer
that the investigation into the reason

made before the advances are put into
effect, rather than thereafter.
His Attitude Toward Public Duties At
tracts Non-Partisan Commentator.
No candidate at this time is reeeiv-
ing so much voluntary commentator
through the editorial columns Of the
press as Is Corporation Commissioner
". d. Humphrey He has been the
most active member Of the commits
sion during the year that he has serv-
ed. He came to the commission with
the broad conception and keen under
standing Of lis functions OF one Of the
trainers Of the provision of the consti-
tuition creating it. He lost no time in
taking a fullfledged place on the COM
mission. He has been assigned to the
hearing OF almost all varieties of
causes and complaints that are
brought to the commission. He con-
ducts his court with extraordinary dis
patch. His fine legal attainments
show him to advantage as iurist
Consequently this favorable comment
IS not limited to democratic papers,
The Bartlesville Examiner, independ-
ent. passes him this tributei
mr.. Humphrey is candidate for
election to the 4-year term of the cor
poration commission Of the state OF
Oklahoma, and he has many
warm supporters in Bartlesville
who believe he has rendered val.
liable service and viii continue to so
conserve the gas industry as to make
the Oklahoma gas supply bring mcto-
ries and industries to the state that
otherwise would not come. 1t Is claim |
ed that the conservation of gas by the
commission is today the greatest fac
tor in securing the investment of can
ital in Oklahoma. as it is in itself "a
insurance that cannot be given in any
other state or gotten in any other
way, save by the administration Of the /
state laws governing the gas produc-
tion, distribution and consumption Of
gas by well balanced and qualified |
commission"
Commissioner Humphrey is one pub
lie officer who can neither be coerced Z
nor cajoIed into doing anything that
he does not believe to be right-No- |

rier. Carriers insistently demand that
this opportunity shall be afforded, in
order that they may produce such evi-
dence and facts as they deem essential
to a proper determination of the rea-
sonableness Of the rates proposed. In
our opinion, the public should not be
required to pay advanced rates without
an equal opportunity TO be heard. In
other words. the public who pay the
rates ought to be considered upon the
same footing with the carriers who
furnish the service. No rates should
be increased unless there is good rea.
son therefor; if the carrier deems the
rates charged to- be inadequate, GER
tainly this conclusion ought to be
founded upon facts within its posses
sion; If so. these facts could be pre-
sented to the commission without cast
ing any undue burden upon the car
rier; il the facts do not warrant such
increase. no advance in rates should
be allowed. Moreover. it is we'll
known fact that individual shippers
are seldom in position to successfully
attack the power OF the carrier TO
charge aud collect its published rate;
the shipper must, if his commodities

The wonderful ail-round work on the

Here is some history about the great
Ferguson and a few records he made
during his short but brilliant career:
Ferguson was secured from the Vir-
ginia club of Richmond. va, in 1883
and began his work for the Fhiladel
phia Nationals In the spring OF 1884
That team was more or less OF Joke
but the magnificent work OF Ferguson
was big factor in making it con.
tender for pennant hcnors in 1856 and
1887, and it was during those seasons
Ferguson made national fame.
Here Is his work for 1887: A per.
ccntage Of .72s in games won, Held
ing record Of .947 in 25 games at sec.
ond and a batting average Of Ala.
Ferguson could catch splendid
game, and before going to Philadelphia
he was known to go behind the bat

In playing second he could cover
vast amount of territory. was equally
sure on ground and fly balls and

The test Of corporation commits
sioner is his attitude toward the pub
lie and the corporations. Public SER
vice corporations have contended for
the right to promulgate rates, and
leave to shippers and the public the
burden Of proving them to be unjust
discriminatory or inequitable. Corpo-
ration Commissioner w. D. Humphrey,
in writing Commissioner Order No
9S2, places the burden on the public
service corporations Of showing that
a proposed rate is just, equitable and
not discriminatory, in the following
language:
I'm determining the fairness of rates
to be charged for public service, both
parties to the service must be consid-
cred. Neither the rights Of the public
nor those Of the carrier are to be ig-
nored. 1t is a rule invariably enforced,
that before rates charged by the car
rier can be reduced an opportunity
