The notifications of the ''ex'' rules as an

fainting heart, and the whole number of ''exes''

rial ones, and many believe that the rule

being used by Cleveland just as the railroad
officials hide behind the interstate commerce

railroad pass the road replies in a very

Nothing would please them more than to fur

merce law prevents them. But if they want to
give the pass it comes along by return mail.
That's Cleveland's ease exactly. If he wants to
appoint an ex he does it, but if he doesn't he
just says: Very sorry, but you know the rule
