Tin- New Kate Law.
While the so-called railroad rate bill,
enacted at the recent congress, has
become effective, It appears to be a
mass of contradictions In Its various
and sundry provisions, and, indeed, to
some of the most eminent lawyers it
is absolutely Incomprehensible. A
clear solution of Its mysteries must be
advanced by the interstate commerce
commission and even then the highest
tribunal will be called upon to decide
whether or not the commission's in
terpretation is correct. In any event,
there are roufih days ahead for the
commission and the railroad lawyers.
Alerady five hundred questions have
been filed by the transportation com
panies and the seven members of the
board must answer them. Under the
old law rates made'iby the commission
did not so into effect until enforced by
a court order, whereas under this new
law rates are effective within thirty
days unless on appeal Is taken to the
supreme court. The provisions apply
to sleeping car companies, express
companies, oil-pipe hires, private
freight lines and all individuals or
corporations engaged In Uiterstate
traffic.
The moat wholesome remedy, how
ever, will biing relief to those who
have been the victims of favoritism
applied to others, and severo penalties
will be inflicted upon companies and
officials found guiity of giving rebates.
Instead of punishing the road merely
with a fine, the law is sufficient to
Cor.vir't Officials and they may be sent !
to prison without the alternative of
submitting to a line. Thai is aras
tic, but it is right, because one of the
giealest iniquities reretofore was re
bating by which Standard Oil, for In
stance, was enabled to crush competi
tors and hold a complete monopoly.
This, in addition to government super
vision over pipe lines, will preent
further outrages, the consequences of
Which were fearful.
But newspapers and howling polltl
ticfans who profess to understand the
full Intent and meaning of tlr; law
are thoroughly at sea. Not even the
commission can give an exact defini
tion, of the numerous sections, The
majority of railroads are prepared to
obey, but they do not know exactly
W hut that means. It will require a
long trial to prove its value to ship- i

Church Workers in Bunks.
The failure of the Real Estate Trust
Company of Philadelphia again directs
attention to the fact that the head
of the establishment was a leader in
church work and a man lnvhom the
public had the most implicit confidence.
Immediately after his death the crash
came, and it may be that he died of
natural causes, while it is also proba
ble and possible that like others he
speculated and lost and the thought
of what it meant killed him. At any
rate, as one of the church officers in
Philadelphia expressed It, President
Hippie's conduct was enough to de
stroy a person's faith in human nature.
He had control of the church funds
amounting to millions of dollars.
Of course, the wicked always empha
size a story which deals with the
defalcation of a church worker and
leader. That, however, does not Justify
i the statement that most of them go
astray. There are hundreds and hun
dreds of bank presidents over the
country and with few exceptions they
are leaders in church life. The posi
tions of responsibility which they hold
do not make that necessary, but un
less they were identified with the
righteous cause they would hardly be
asked to manage financial institutions.
The penitentiaries are not filled with
Sunday school leaders. They are
choked with the motley crew of the
depraved and the vicious.
There have been many cases similar
to that of Hippie, and there may be
more, but we maintain that it is the
excention and not the rule when a
church leader turns out to be a thief
The democratic primary in South
Carolina resulted as The Evening
Times predicted, Ansel being elected
governor and Lyon winning for attor
ney general after a sensational cam
paign. The new governor and Mr.
Ansel will be that Is i pposi'd to the
dispensary, and Mr. Lyon has been
unrelenting in prosecuting the liquor
grafters ' heretofore. By the time the
legislature meets in January the peo
ple will be prepared to kill the institu
tion, substituting prohibition, or local
option under dispensary regulations,
in those counties where there Is a
desire for it. The primary is a blow
to Senator Tillman, and while he has
generally been able to take care of
himself there is no record of his suc
cess when he championed the cause
of any other candidates. South Caro
lina will not be long in redeeming it
self from its shame.
Editor Varner's ministers from North
Carolina are attracting almost as
much attention in New York as Editor
Watterson's Kentucky beauties. After
visiting Coney Island the advertising
preachers announced that "New York
is in the grasp of the devil." The
Evening Post says there is an old
adage that a man generally finds
what he is looking for. Our distin
guished party, however, merely
stumbled upon his Satanic majesty, no
doubt.
Whether Mr. Bryan comes or stays
away the fair in Raleigh In October
gives early promise of being one of
the greatest events in the history of
I the society, and all of us are natur-
ally delighted with the prospects.
There will be many excellent features,
the idea being to show more of the
substantial fruits of North Carolina
than the flashy things. Mr. Bryan's
appearance, of course, will make the
attendance all the greater, and Just
now he will draw better than on
foi mer occasions.
From all parts of the south there
comes a protest against Mr. Richard
Cheatham serving longer as secretary
of the southern cotton association be-
cause of his gambling proclivities. A
movement, has been., started in Nortli
Carolina to have Mr. 0. C. Moore of
Charlotte succeed him, and we heartily
endorse the suggestion. Mr. Moore has
as much, if not more ability than Mr.
Cheatham, he is enthusiastic to a de
gree, and, besides, he is not a gambler.
Mr. Comer has been elected governor
of Alabama and the fight there was
almost as warm as that celebrated
contest in Georgia. Comer's election is
probably explained in the statement
that he stood on the Georgia plat
form. At the moment we have pro
found sympathy for our distinguished
friend, tie Montgomery Advertiser,
which worked night and day against
Comer, but failed to defeat him.
It is not at all likely that Winston
Churchill will be nominated by the re
publican convention for governor of
New Hampshire and in that event It
is said that he may run independently.
That would give the democrats an ex
cellent chance of capturing the state,
so the canvass of Winston will help
some.
"The result in Georgia," says the
New Orleans Times-Democrat, "has
afforded Tom Watson a novel and
pleasing sensation. He now knows
how It feels to be on the winning
side." What? Call the Honorable
Hoke a populist?
Socks on the HathiitK Reach
'Atlantic City prudes hay ha
Such a shock! For the lair sum
mer girl has taken to socks on the
bathing beach and abandoned the
conventional long stockings.
This awful breach In the conven
tions was made by a girl from staid
and prim Philadelphia. When she
appeared yesterday in bare legs and
attracted the attention of beach
loungers," reter Parker, captain of
the life guards, hurried aghast to
Mayor Stoy for instructions. But
fhe Mayor is a wise official and he
knew better than to undertake to
settle the all-important question of
hose or half-hose; and where there
was but one pair yesterday, today
there were half a dozen pairs of
stockingsless calves twinkling along
the sands, with a prospect of a gen
eral adoption of the new fad within
a day or two, for
"If the girls wish to wear socks I
have no official oblectjon," Mayor
Stov said this evening. "I have had
enough of trouble in trying to regu
late bathing rigs in former seasons,
and so long as there is nothing pos
itively indecent about the costumes
there will be no objection."
According to local haberdashers,
there has not yet arisen a strong
demand for bathing socks, and it is
believed that the daring pioneers of
yesterday and today borrowed their
brothers' half hose for the occasion.

VASELINE NO GOOD FOB HAIB.
Dandruff Germ Thrives In It, As
Well As In All Crease.
A well known Chicago hair spe
cialist invited the Inter-Ocean re
porter to come to his office and see,
under a microscope, how the germ
that causes dandruff thrives in vase
line. The epecialist said that all
hair preparations containing grease,
simply furnish food for the germs
and help to propagate them. The
only way to cure dandruff is to de
stroy the germs, and the only hair
preparation that will do that is New
bro's Herplclde. "Destroy the cause,
you remove the effect." Without
dandruff no falling hair, no bald
ness. Ask for Herpicide. It is the
only destroyer of the dandruff germ.

REHAB TILATED . Z-Jm. I
I know from observation as to
drunkenness, and an awful experi
ence as to use of morphine that the
Keeley Treatment is a specific cure
for both diseases. I began taking
morphine to relieve pain; the use
of the drug grew so insidiously
that I became helpless before I was
aware of it. For ten years I fought
against it in vain, trying many so
called antidotes at great expense,
without benefit, my struggles only
facilitating my descent into the in
describable tortures of an Opium
hell. I entered the Greensboro, N.
C, Keeley Institute twelve years ago
a mental and physical wreck with
out energy 'or care lor the duties of
life; the past becoming a blank, and
the future hopeless. 1 went not ex
pecting to be cured, but that my
life might be prolonged a short
while. The beneficial effects of the
treatment became auuaren! at once
the unbearable craving for the
drug was eradicatedIt hsver has
returned. I was, and remain, cured
have no more desire for morphine
than if it never existed.
All patients were treated with
kindest consideration none were
rebuffed or criticised, and I take
pleasure in testifying to the unvary
ing kindness and courtesy of every
official of the Institution. I earnest
ly advise every whiskey diseased
drunkard and nerveless drug-user
to take the Keeley Treatment forth
with urge your friends to lose' no
time, remind them that in drunken
ness as in other diseases, there is a
period from beyond which none can
return. This line passed the help
less victim must go down to an ever
lasting doom. The reasons are self
evident, the Keeley Treatment takes
the drunkard from the gutter and
drug-user from his dreams, releasing
them from the clutches of a merci
less tyrant rehabilitates them for
the duties and obligations of life
it drives the fears from the sorrow
ing woman a drunkard's wife a
drunkard's mother: it revives their
sense of moral obligation; in fact
makes them new men.
