The Southern Railway very prop
erly recognizes the importance of Na
ples during the summer season, when
all that section is full of people from
the South, by making It a flag stop
for all passenger'- trains. ; Someone,
however, has overlooked or forgotten
to provide a shed or waiting place.
and persons wishing to board the
train there must take the sunshine or
the rain as it comes. . If we are not
mistaken, there was a promise that
shed would be built, and in these
ticklish times the least a corporation
should do Is to keep its promises.
BUT A SHORT STEP TO GOVERN
MENT OWNERSHIP.
A Beverly dispatch tells of a con
ference between President Taft and
Chairman napp of the Interstate
Commerce commission. ; The Associat
ed Press thus recorded the event:
President Taft had a long talk today
With Chairman Knapp of the Inter
state Commerce commission regarding
the administration of the new railroad
rate law. At the conclusion of the
Interview It was made plain that the
added authority given to the commis
sion by the new statute Is not to be
used arbitrarily or for the purpose ot
hindering the railroads in the conduct
of their legitimate business. The
power to suspend new rates, probably
the most direct weapon placed in the
hands of the commission, is to be used
only in exceptional cases.
Chairman Knapp told the President
that the commission already has re
fused an appNcatlon under the new
law for a suspension of Increased
rates on hone vehicles and automo
biles. He said that there was nothing
on the face of things to show that the
new rates were unjust or unreasona
ble. The Interstate Commerce commis
sion will not attempt to fix definite
rates for the railroads and the power
of a suspension will be 'applied only
to rates when a preliminary hearing
gives indication that they are exces
sive. In all such contested cases, the
president was Informed, the commis
sion will endeavor to arrive at the
facta at the earliest possible moment
and It is not believed that in any case
will it be necessary to avail itself of
the full limit of eleven months allow
ed under the law.
The foregoing, which may of
' course be regarded . as authoritative,
suggests an' Interesting state of affairs.
Railroad officials must have been kept
guessing of late. The various unions
make periodical demands for increas
ed wages, and while these disputed
questions are compromised, because
no road can afford a general strike, It
usually means an Increased expense
for the roads. On the other hand the
government really owns the railroads.
Mr. Bryan was right when he declar
ed that such regulation of the roads
as we now see would result, if some
plan of actual ownership was not
adopted. Just how stringent this reg-
illation has become is Indicated when
it la seen' how the President of the
United States feels It expedient to give
assurances that the statute will not be
used arbitrarily, that It will not be
employed ae a club over the railroads.
One reason the President felt Impelled
to give these assurances is fpund in
the fact that the market in certain
railroad securities had become de
pressed. We believe it has been held
that the right of a railroad to fix rates.
the commodity in which it deals, is a
property right, and it would seem that
this right has measurably been taken
from the roads.
It would be only a short step, would
it not, from such regulation to actual
government ownership T
The "flat" system of corn cultiva
tion, with shallow .tillage, is to be
observed throughout this section this
year. These are essentials' of the
corn "revolution." Other basic es
sentials are deep plowing before
hand and thorough harrowing. To
these, one adds fertilization accord-
ng to his ability and judgment. And
notwithstanding the leaky weather, it
may still be stated that the corn
crop is generally "clean" and prom
ising. ,
It has probably been observed that
the glories of the occasion are being
Ignalized chiefly in this land of the
free by a prize fight between a negro
and a white man whose deportment
does not always comport with the
conduct expected of a representative
of a superior race.'
The fact that Mr. Settle has finally
landed reminds us that all things
come to him who waits.
Adopt Resolutions Urging Taft to Re
move Members Who are Op
posing Insurgents.
OWA REPUBLICANS WANT
CABINET MEMBERS FIRED
Des Moines, Iowa, July 4. Plead
ing for a united party and urging the
elimination of rancor and strife, many
county conventions in Iowa Saturday
adopted resolutions calling upon Pres
ident Taft to remove from his cabi
net those who have attempted to read
the insurgents out of the party. The
resolutions which were adopted by a
large number of the progressive coun
ties, range with a hearty endorsement
of Senators Dolllver and Cummins
and the Iowa congressmen, who have
fought the tariff bill.
In these same resolutions President
Taft was endorsed only Insofar as he
has made effort to carry out the pro
gressive principles. Concerning the
removal of the cabinet members the
resolution says:
'We urge the President to remove
from the cabinet those members who
have attempted to read out of the
party other Republicans whose only
crime has been to Insist that Congress
redeem the pledges made at the last
national campaign.

Who was called a fine fellow by Col

In point of fact, this situation pre
sents some aspects rather difficult of
.comprehension. Colonel Roosevelt is
represented as having fallen upon the
aack of President Taft, aud yet there
was the trio of Kansas lrreconcllla

warmth. These men lauded by Col
onel Roosevelt himself as supporters
f the Roosevelt policies, are entire

Specnlatloa in Ticket.

sold last night and large blocks had
been sold to speculators who were
asking $17. JO for them today. The
only seats on sale at the ticket office
this morning were the higher priced
places. Very early crowds began to
assemble at the arena. The great
unpalnted structure was the magnet
for throngs. Bam Berger and Jim
Corbett drove out at I o'olock and
with a crowd of helpers stretched the
canvas covering of tha ring floor and
