Investigate thoroughly the activities
of American railroads in aiding for
eign shipping companies to sweep the
American merchant marine from the
seas. Senator La Follette has called
for an investigation. Senator Jones
asks that the government enforce the
Jones act. And the public "wants to
see a prosperous and healthy mer
chant marine on the oceans. .-'
Senator Ransdell of Louisiana
charges that the railroads have en
tered into contracts with foreign
shipping concerns to secure freight
for foreign Shipping companies to the
exclusion of others.' Senator Jones
makes the same charge. Senator
Ransdell says free freight handling Is
provided the foreign lines. Senator
Jones says the same thing. Both
maintain that American railroads are
providing free and exclusive use of
piers and warehouses to foreign ship
ping Interests and that they have
promised to use their influence in
securing exemption for foreign ships
from local taxation and port dues.
The senators who make the charges
are responsible men. Documents on
file with the interstate commerce
commission tend to substantiate their
claims. The records of American
railroads in the past certainly would
not wuggest that such a status Is im
possible.
Certainly the railroads are put in
unique and unseemly position If
the charges are substantiated. On
the one hand they are asking the
support of the public to beat down
the wages of railroad employes.
They are asking and are apparently
to receive financial support from the
people through the government on
flimsy claims. And on the other
hand they are accused of being in
league with foreign shipping inter
ests in an effort to drive the people's
ships from the seas and thereby force
upon the people a loss of $4,0Jo,050,-
000 spent in building vessels. And
if they succeed how are the people
whose aid they are asking and Whose
ships they are charged with fighting
to fare in the matter of freight and
passenger rates?
What does the government think
rpEXAS is a state of wonders.
Down there they grow fields
and fields of cotton. The oil re-
ources are extensive. Hospitality
is in high gear, the summers are hot
and negroes are there in abundance.
But of all the wonders of which
Texas can boast none is more un
usual than a certain Southern man.
Like other men, he is married.
Like some other men, he has a
mother-in-law. But, unlike most
other men, he has a strong affection
for the -mother of his wife.
The mother-in-law recently ar
rived in New York from Denmark
At the pier anxiously awaiting her
was the son-in-law. He had driven
all the way from Texas to New York
to greet his marital relative. He was
sorry to learn that she was only to
remain with his family for a year.
He had hoped that she would remain
in this country and at his house
forever.
But there is a reason for the
Texas .wonder man and his strong
affection for his mother-in-law. She
sums it up thus: "I never butt into
the affairs of my children."
Perhaps, after all, the real wonder
is the mother-in-law.
WHOSE IS THE
VICTORY? s
n
the veterans fought? What has be
come or the "war to end war"? Are
not the nations preparing their pot
son gases, building their battleships,
perfecting their fighting planes and
constructing bigger cannon than they
ever constructed before ? Has Amer
J lea herself not refused to join th
only organisation so far proposed to
end war? And has she so far offered
any substitute?
The service man completed a for

Something flagged the plan for a rail
road strike just as it was fearing along
under a full head of steam, and it came
to a dead stop with scarcely any grind
ing or its wheels. What operated the
signal that read "Stop"? Did the men
realise that "they had embarked on n
impossible venture." as the Brooklyn

the other hand, was it because, as a
number of papers believe, the men won
all they wanted and there was no need
to strike?
"Public opinion really compelled the
cancellation, of the strike order." de
clares the Boston Herald (Ind. Rep.)
and has, accordingly, "won a great mor
al victory," the Minneanolla Journal
(Ind. Rep.) adds. The position that the !
recall order was due entirely to the i
pressure of public opinion is held by
an impressive number oi papers. But
the question of where the victory lies is

SOME REMARKS ON TAXES
Writer Believes the Bonding Duainess
Has Been Overdone.
PrinevUle, Oct. 28. To the Editor of
The Journal Some of the Journal's edi
torials are certainly grand. Your edi
torials against taxation are rood, but
did not come soon enough. We have
already encumbered ourselves by bonding-for-one
thing and another, so that
we shall not see reasonable taxation for
the next 25 years. Much of it there is
no call for. Good roads were needed
but we have gone at it too ramnaeeoun-
ly and we are paying a high price for
what little we are getting. The soldiers'
bonus is another waste of money. I
cannot see where they have anything
coming to them, providing they were dis
charged in good health and were paid ln
full, also receiving the $60 bonus con
gress gave. Any soldier who had his
health injured or was maimed so he is
incapacitated is entitled to help and not
just a mere pittance, but enough so that
wiui-wnai ne can earn he can live In
comfort and -be able to lay up a little.
The loan feature of this bill is good, but
the cash feature is not. I heartily agree
with E. A. Linscott on this loan ques
tion. It certainly would be a good thing
If the -state would make this loan to
apply to all who wish to make homes
ior tnemseivcs. Why not get behind this
question and put it over? There are
many men with families who are paying
rent that, if thev Could art mnnev n
Uong terms, could and would build homes
ior themselves and stop paying rent. I
think this question has merit, and the
man who stayed at home and ate substi
tutes without a murmur is just as en
titled to the benefits of this law as those
who volunteered or were drafted, for,
with all the high wages that he got, he
had to bow to the will of the grafter.

"My father and the. father of General
Jan Christian Smuts, present premier of
South Africa, were brothers, so Fremter
Smuts and I are cousins," said Captain
John A. Smuts to me recently. "I was
born at Capetown, January 26, 47 years
ago. When. L was 17 years old I went
to Cambridge. After -receiving fny de
gree there 1 returned to South Africa
and became a lieutenant in the cape
artillery. Two ' years after my return
to South AMcs the Boer war broke out.
My cousin, Jan Christian Smuts, being
a Boer, like myself, was soon In the j
thick of the fight. As you know, he
was one of their ablest generals.
"Having graduated at Cambridge. 1

lieving that England was right, I fought
with the British forces. I asked to be
transferred from the Cape artillery ,tO
the South African light horse, where
there wOuld be Opportunity for imme
diate action. We were sent to Natal,
and, as you knowi the battle of the
Tugela occurred shortly thereafter. It
was there that the son of Lord Roberts
was killed. I will say this for my kins
men, the Boers: tney are wonaerrui
shots, and courageous fighting men. The
South African light horse, in which I
had become a captain, was employed In
scouting, a most honorable but some
what dangerous duty. Many of my
comrades were killed. I was wounded
by a pompom sheik Later 1 received a
Mauser bullet in my side. I served from
October, ' 1899, to June, 1901, being In
the battle of. Spionkop and In many other
engagements, as well as being in at the
relief of Lady smith. I received my pro
motion to captain in June, 1900. It so
happened that I ; had come under the
observation of Lord Kitchener, who gave
me my promotion and transferred me to
the railway staff. ; I was a railway staff
officer on the lines ot communication

was appointed resident magistrate of
Brandveli, a district lying south of Ger
