A news item states that "during the years 1870 to 1905, inclusive, shippers paid the Pennsylvania RailToad freight charges amounting to $1,524,312,472. Had the average rate during that time remained the same as it was, then the amount paid would have been $3,444,271,073, more than qgain as much. Shippers who complain as regards reduction of rates can study this item with interest." Yes, they may "study this item with interest," but they will not get much consolation .from it. In the first place shippers are not complaining "Bo 'much as regards reduction of rates, as they are 'in regard to the partiality shown ' in administering such rates as are at present in effect. Complaint is not heard from the big shippers but from the little shippers. And the little shippers are complaining because their' larger competitors are being given the advantage of rebates and drawbacks, and not because the present rates are too high. The question is not one of,, lower rates, but that all shippers, large or small, shall pay the same rate, and that one shipper shall not profit by a cebate at the expense ef his It is to be hoped that Itte&aon&'s rejweaated Commercial ta& wfil follow ia the steps of Marion's sim liar organisation.

HERE AND THERE t (By -The-Spectator.) Mary had a piece, of gum. The gum was white as snow. And everywhere that Mary went The gum was sure to go. It followed her to school one day, " Which was against the rule. The teacher took the gum away, And chewed it after school. Mark Twain says that a gentleman is a biped who is not a lady; then an old hen is a gentleman. , A teacher in the city schools not long ago asked a pupil in European history, what was the Diet of Worms. "They made Martin Luther eat worms for not being a Catholic," was the prompt response. A hijih school girl was imparting a bit of sensational news in a letter to her friend. "Don't you know," she v.!f)e. "that our near neighbor, Wil- j linm Lacy committed siouxcyesigheu Iat nishl."

Just the minute I got within hearin' o' the church they began singin' "The calf has never yet been sold." OFFICIALS ARE 0 00 CENTRAL UNION OFFICIALS TO INVESTIGATE THE SITUATION IN RICHMOND. WESTERN UNION WITH BELL It Is Willing to Have Its Wires on Main Street Placed Underground. It is stated that some of the high officials of the Central Union Tele phone Company, from the general of fices in New York will arrive in Richmond this week to investigate the local telephone situation. While here it is probable that they will try to learn why the company cannot place its wires underground if it so desires. It is not generally known that the poles on the south side of Main street are controlled jointly by the Central Union Telephone Company and the Western Union Telegraph Comapny, and it is understood that the Western Union people sanction the move of the telephone company in placing the Main street wires un derground., .At the .present tune the Central Union Telephone Company has no cables extending south of the first alley south of Main street, nor has it any cables into Fairview. Lines to these parts of the city will be among the first put up when the company starts to work rebuilding its. system. The work on erecting the new telephone exchange office on r North Tenth street will begin as soon as the weather permits and the plans call for one of the handsomest buildings of Us kind in this part of the country.

NTROLS: ADMITTED THAT HE WILL BE NEXT ABLE m f DICTATE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE. SOUTH IS VERY POWERFUL Hearst Laying Plans To Put Tight for the Plum in 1908. Up Washington, March 1L The discusion of presidential candidates has been iroinjr on amonsr Democratic members of congress house and sen- J ate, ever since the session began and ! it has served to bring out the im- j portan fact that William J. Bryin ( will be in control of t lie next Demo-I cratic national convention. All of the tendency is in that direction. No one presuir.es to say v. nether or not Hi van himself wa'its the nomination hut there is practically a general sgrce-re'it that ro cr.a can be nominated who. does not wear the stamp of I Aryan's approval. The reaction against the control of the plutocratic element of the Democratic party in the east is complete. Ii i already evident that a candidate from New York, identified with the monied ring of the party, as was Judge Parker, can hardly command more than a corporal's guard of delegates in the next national convention. It is fair to assume that the Democratic representatives and senators reflect the sentiment of the party in their various, districts and states. They are in touch with their localities and know whom the pepple prefer for the .presidency. ' The -slogan of the solid-5 South' is ''Nominate Bryan." Of course the South has a predominating influence in Democratic national conventions and it may seem more than passing strange that the South, exercisig its majority righTs, does not nominate a Southern man for the presidency, especially since it has such excellent presidential timber as Senator Joseph Weldon Bailey of Texas. There is no-tendency in the South to discount Bailey's ability, lie is recognized as one of the country's ablest statesmen, a worthy successor of Clay and Sumner and other distinguished expounders of the constitution. He is a conservative, but has the sympathy and friendship of the radicals of the party. An yet Bailey is not a candidate, nor has the South any thought of urging him for the place. A few days ago a newspaper man to whom the Texas man talks freely asked him if he is receiving any requests to permit th use of his name for the presidential nomination. "No," said he, "I am not and if I were I would not give them any countenance. I do not think that it would be wise to select the Democratic standard-bearer from the South. Whenever you hear my name mentioned for the presidency, you can put it down that there is nothing in it and that if there were no other reasons why I should not run, my residence in Texas bars me." Five names are now mentioned for the Democratic nomination for the presidency William J. Bryan, Joseph W. Folk, William R. Hearst, Governor Pattison of Ohio, and Geo. W. Guthrie, the newly elected mayor of Pittsburg. Occasionally George B. McClellan of New York, is suggested. GECKLER IS HONORED Well Known Basket Ball Official Was , . Named All Star High School ! ; .

" ' Lally and Justice Two Richmond Flayers Have Been Signed by Marion Management. Manager C. W. Jessup of the Marion team in the new Interstate League is in doubt whether he will be allowed to play with Marion this year, owing to difficulties he is now having with the New London team in the Conecticut League. Jessup played wth this team last year and early in the winter, before the organization of the Interstate League, he signed a 1906 contract with New London.He is now trying to secure his release but the New London management is obdurate, and refuses to give him up. He can go to Marion and act as a bench manager, but if he attempts to get in the game without securing his release from New London, he exposes himself to the black list. Manager Jessup last night announced the names of the players he has signed for the Marion team. Among the number are M. II. Justice and "Bud" Lally of this city. Justice was formerly captain and second baseman of the old Entre Nous team and Lally played third base on the same team. Both are excellent ball players and are certain to make good. The rest of the Marion in field will be made up of men prom ised by the Indianapolis American Association management and the Dayton Central League management. The ouf!;l signed is composed of Manning, West Carleton, O.; Cameron, .Detroit; Lembert, Peoria. Fisher of Lima has been secured for the catching department. The pitchers are Mundhink, Union City; Burns and Beestofer from the Dayton Cen tral League team, and a young Indian pitcher named Williamson. Seyeral more men have been claimed but have not yet been signed. The . players have been ordered to report for practice April 10.
