fe' DELIBERATION IMPOSSIBLE
$' It will bo a long and expensive trip
iXor democrats from the east to take
xo attend the Denver" concntlon, es
vpeclally as the railroads have given
notice that no roluced fares will bo
conceded. But those who attend tho
--convent?bn as delegates may gain In
foomposuro what thoy lose In cash,
by the absence of tho noisy enthusi
asts, who have made some conven
tions a bear garden more than a de
liberative assembly. With ten thous
aud spectators howling for tholr'fav
orlto candidate, nothing that a speak
er says can bo heard by anyone fifty
feet from him, and the art of gesturo
Is not equal to Imparting Ideas.
fTho British Naval authorities aro
said to Do preparing plans for n
war-ship 50 per cent greatc than tho
Dreadnought or with a displacement
of 30,000 tons. Our navnl designers
have" proposed to build a war ship of
40,000 tons, which will cost $20,000,
000. When will this rivalry for the
slzo and number of war ships coat$,j
or what will satisfy this craving for
war preparations? In the end It must
impoverish tho people of ail countries
that strive for supremacy, for theie
Is not only llio vast outlay for build
ing these enormous war engines, but
tho constant expense of keeping them
In repair and In commission. Experi
ence shows that fa about ten years
our finest war ships a few years ago,
are now built for tho scrap hen p.
Tho limitation of land and naval
armaments Is something the world
must soon agree upon, for It Is sense
less to tax people for the creation of
that which Is really usolcss.
Tho California courts have held that
extortion Is not extortion, so long as
It is practiced on French restaur
ants. Any man who has wrestled
with a French bill-of-faro can ap
preciate tho feelings of the court.
'When tho Legislature of Ohio in
3.906 passed tho 2 cent passenger rate
bill, the railroad managers declared
Jt was ruinous and confiscatory. But
the official returns of. all tho rail,
jrroads In tho state for tho year ending
2jJun.e 30, 1907, as figured by tho Ohio
V'nallroad Commission, shows a sub--BtantIal
Increaso over the preceding
Sgiyear, This Increaso Is duo to tho
'elimination of free passes and excur
JRslon rates ariTI the natural growth o!
Vitttssengor traffic. The result In tho
gj state of Ohio, however, Is not a fair
& criterion for some other states, be
jf cause It" Is traversed by Interstate
$. railroads" from East to West which
"must Increase the returns for pass
gjonger traffic. It Is also a more
X densely populated state than many
f others ranking higher than New York
!Tor Pennsylvania perhaps with Its well
J to do farming population. It would
f seem that the Interstate Commerce
?. Commission could figure out tho cost
K6 per mllo for pasenger traffic which
g could be used as a standard for fixing
jjtho rates In each state as tho Ohio
Commission has dono for that state.
AvFalr play demands that tho railroads
shall Be' allowed to charge reasonable
Coxites that will provide fair interest

ft lAs tho Republican National con
jj ventlon will be held June ICth, It Is
J; iproTJahla that congress will be ad
r ijou'rrr&I by th'o republican leadors
"by June 1st. That would mean That
few, If any, of the president's recom
mendations wHl be enacted Into law,
ibut Speaker Cannon's plan of passing
the appropriation bills and then going
t homo wJTTbo adopted.
One way to get even with the rail
roads for charging such high rates
for carrying brick is for council to
compel them to pae their rlghts-

Congressman Burton now refuses

Ho Is probably waiting for a com

North Carolina negroes lynched a

Leaders of republican factions In
