THE ESSENCE OF THE RATE BILL.
The average citizen, Including the
major portion of those who "pay-the
freight," will never become familiar
with the provisions, In detail, of the
railroad rate bill which passed the
Senate on Friday last, even If It should
be accepted by the House ‘with all of
tho Senate amendments, and become
a law. The bill Is so lengthy and full
of Intricate points thqt the average
citizen will leave Its Interpretation to
the railroad men and tho lawyers and
the courts.
The chief provision of the rate bill

to fix railroad freight charges and to
enforce their execution If the courts
do not decide that they are unreaeon-
able and unjuet.
At present the Commission Is noth
ing more than an advisory board, with
out power to fix rates. In the long
debate in tho Senate the controversy
turned on tho question whether the
circuit courts of the United States
should be prevented from Issuing tern
porary Injunctions nnd thus holding up
the ordors' of the Commission until
final decision by the Supremo Court..
The Allison amendment not merely
loaves the revisory powers of the cir
cuit courts over tho rates of the Com.
mission Intact, but expressly and dis
tinctly affirms them, as woll as the
manner of their oxorpise.
Tho Allison amendment Is regarded
as a substantial triumph of the con
servative sentiment of the country In
favor of tho maintenance of the just
authority of the courts as ordained by
the framers of the Constitution.
From our humblo point, of view, the
most suspicious tiling that can be seen
In connection with the consideration of
tho bill Is that such eminent railroad
champions ns Senators Aldrich and
Elkins gave It tlielr hearty support.

AN UNQUALIFIED ENDORSEMENT*
III The Herald of lust Friday the fact
was discussed editorially that while
the average white man will “work
harder for moro money, the average
negro will work less.” Tho subject
was presented as one affording a satis
factory explanation of much of tho
trouble the South Is experiencing with
labor.
This brief reference will enable any
who may have failed to read the edi
torial in question to understand the
following letter:
“Albany, Ua., May 21, 1906.
“Editor Albany Herald:
"Please allow me to say that you
have made another good score in your
editorial of Friday, entitled ‘Negroes
and Work.’ It points out existing con
ditions exactly, and it is good that
something is to be done.
“Yours truly,
“F. A. BILL1NGSLEA.”
The writer of tho above is a well-
known negro farmer and merchant of
this county, and his industry has not
only brought him a snug competency,
but, coupled with his concslentious ef
forts in the direction of good citizen
ship, lias won the confidence of all
classes. He is one of the exceptional
representatives of his race who are not
content to let well enough alone. He
is endeavorlftg to improve his condi
tion and that of other members of his
race, and is succeeding.
It is gratifying tr have such men
uphold the sentiment-* voiced by The
The Teacher'a Joy.
Parent—How did you get along with
your geography lesson today, Johnnie?
Pupil—Beautifully. The teacher was
so pleased that she made me stay after
school and repeat it all over again, only
jupt to her.
Mr. 8. L. Bowen, of . Wayne, V/. Va.,
writes: “I was a sufTerer from kidney
disease, so that at times I could not
get out of bed, ind when I did I could
not stand straight. I took Foley’s Kid
ney Cure. One dollar bottle and part
of the second cured me entirely.”
Foley’s Kidney Cure works wonders
where others are total failures.
