Plea of the Three Governors.
New York World.
The Governors of three irreat West
ern States which furnished ;K0.000
Republican plurality in the
election and which will nend thirtv
Republican representativea to the
new Congress unite in seeking Presi
dent Roosevelt's influence in favor of
legislation empowering the Inter
state Commerce Commission to hx
railroad freight rates upon interstate
commerce.
There is throughout the country a
growing sentiment in favor of such a
course, as well-as in favor of State
laws creating local ratecommissions.
Rate regulation has been for years
urgently sought by Western farmers,
who nave Deen nelpless to-urevent
railroads from chanrinir "all the
traffic will bear," and the Eastern
consumer should have quite as deep
an interest in the matter as tliev.
Special pleaders for tin railways
have unmasked their batteries of
abuse upon the proposition as "so
cialistic " or "confiscatory." So
much eloquence is unnecessary. That
matter was threshed out in debate
twenty or thirtv years ago and de
cided in favor of rate regulation. It
wtts the purpose of the Interstate
Commerce law, as its framers have
repeatedly testified, that the com
mission should fix the rates, and it
did in fact so fix them for ten vears:
until the Supreme Court decided that
the commission was in that respect
exceeding its legal powers uuder the
aw which rounded it.
Tho passage of theCooper act or of
some .similar measure would there
fore be taking no step upon which
the people had not long ago resolved
and Congress acted. And there are
now reasons for such legislation,
which did not exist when the Inter
state law was framed, in the recent
alarming attempts at forming what
would be, so far as the entire North
west is concerned, the universal rail
way trust. Gov. Van Sant, of Min
nesota, who instigated the proceedr
ings in that State against the North
ern Securities merger, well expresses
t he danger;
There will never be any more open
mergers, great holding companies to be
the receptacle of the stock of the various
systems. The Supreme Court settled
that for all time. But it does not pre
vent the heads of the various systems
from agreeing upon plans and policies
for their special benefit and the damage
of the patrons of their roads, It is he
cause of this that the law should be
amended so as to give the government
sujiervision of rates when found to be
unreasonable. The merger was a mere
incident in the great transportation bat
tle that will be waged for years to come.
Such meetings as Gov. Van Sant
describes have for a generation con
tinuously been held by railway man
agers in spite of occasional quarrels
over the "equitable division of the
right to overcharge." The logical
and final effect of such agreements :
would be in fact, if not in form, the!
universal transportation trust. Of;
such a partial trust as the merger
proposed, t he Circuit Court of the '
I'n i ted States said in language quoted
with approval by a majority of the j
Supreme Court : i
It destroyed every motive for competi-1
tion between two roadsengaged in inter
state traffic, which were natural com
petitors for business, by pooling the
earnings of the two roads for the com-1
inon benefit of the stockholders.
What the effect of such pooling was, ;
expected to be the makers of the !
merger showed when on a cash capi- i
tal of $,'0,000 they issued $400,000,-!
000 of securities, more than covering
the stock of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific "competitors,",
water sind all, by the vast sum in
excess of 122,000,000. There was
iio way to give value to this mass of
securities " save by " killing compe
tition and capitalizing the corpse",
at the expense of the shippers, save;
by "equalizing" rates in an ascend-!
ing scale. I
The highest court in the land has
.oibidden such mergers under the
Sherman act of 1890. But when Gov. !
Van Sant says that other means will
rie found by railroad managers to
onipass the same ends lie but re-,
peats in warning a prediction overj
which Wall street gloats in exulta
tion. It was, among other things,
to prevent the rapacity of common ,
carriers conspiring "in restraint of I
trade" that the Interstate Commerce '
Commission was formed. No prece-!
dent will le overthrown, no injustice;
will be wrought, no honest interest j
endangered by furnishing the private :
consumer and producer with such
additional safeguards against vast
aggregations of captital engaged in
Monopolistic enterprises as the Triple
Alliance of Govs. Van Sant, Cummins
and La Follette demands.

Newspapers Make Success.
The Merchants' Journal.
Some people may say advertising
does not pay. They are either preju
diced or misinformed. There is no
factor in the growth of trado so pow
erful as newspaper advertising. Here
is a little evidence:
A few years ago there was started J
on a capital of f 100 in an interior
town in the West a Baking Powder
Company. The proprietors adver
tised it and the company today is
worth over $15,000,000 and pays
more than 1,000,000 in annual
dividends.
Newspaper advertising did it.
A mineral water was discovered in
one of the Eastern States. Tho pro
prietors advertised it and today the
mineral water has alargesaleallover
the North American continent and
will pay sis per cent, on $2,000,000.
Newspaper advertising did it.
Five years ago a Cereal Food was
plaml on the market. At first little
money was put into it, but that little
was put into newspaper advertising.
Today there is scarcely a home in
this country upon whose table this
cereal is not served. The company
is wonli over a million dollars.
Newspaper advertising did it.
A few years ago a mail order Iiousm
began business on less than $100. It
prospered and now employs over
10,000 people, and sells its goods
throughout the civilized world.
Newspaper advertising did it.
The largest retail dry goods house
in the United States began business
on a small capital. It has Itecoine
justly famous and favorably known
by the people generally.
Newspaper advertising did it.
A prominent brand of soap is now
being advertised. A short time ago
it was unknown. No one used it.
Today almost every home in the
United States is using it.
Newspaper advertising did it.
Every man has a like opportunity.
The question is, will he use it?

Among all the innumerable Thanks
giving editorials, speeches and senti
ments which have flooded the coun
try during the past week, this from
Thos. Edison is deserving of special
consideration:
"I am thankful for the work I have
beeu able to do in the past, and for the
work which 1 hope to do in the future. I
am thankful for the power which has
been civen ine in the pnst to see and do,
and for the which 1 feel in myself for
future achievements. Iam thankful most
of all for the inspiration that I still feel
and for the knowledge within myself
that, while I am no longer younc, 1 tdial!
yet give to the world the preatest of iny
inventions.
Ours is an age of skill and enthusi
astic workmen in thedifferent lines of
human activity, and these are the
words of a man who is in love with
his work. Every young man partic
ularly should learn them by heart
since the memory of work well per
formed gives the most lasting satis
faction, and the hope of twing able
todostill greater things in thefuture
affords the highest kind of pleasure.
Mr. Edison is one of the greatest
inventors,of theage. The politician,
t he lawyer,the editor and the preacher
spend their lives to a large extent in
threshing over old straw; the paths
along which they advance to renown
are well beaten and oftimes monoto
nous. With Edison it is different; he
has won fame by being pioneer and
explorer in that most marvelous of
aJI sciences, electricity. He has in all
probability contributed more to the
comfort and pleasure of civilized life
than any other person now living.
Therefore we are glad that lie is
nappy ami tlKinkluiin tins good
year of grace, and as this is written
we hel a strange premonition that
perhaps the old man is right in say
ing, "I shall yt give to the world
the greatest of my inventions."
