RATE BILL SPLIT ABOUT EVEN.
Yet the Odds Are Slightly in Favor Of
RooseveIt's Program.

WASHINGTON, June 13-It is now
conceded that the senate committee on
interstate commerce will make a ma
jority and a minority report to con-
gress concerning the rate question
the eight republican members of the
committee, it is expected, will divide
pretty equally, Elkins, Aldrich, and
perhaps Cullom and Kean opposing the
administration plan to confer the rate
making power on the interstate COM
merce commission, and Dolliver, For
aker and Clapp favoring that plan. 1t
is not known in Washington that Sen
ator Milard of Nebraska, mas commit
ted himself. Senator Newlands, dem
ocrat, has informed the president that
he, too, will favor the administration
program SO far as the signing of
committee report is concerned. Here,
then, are three republican members of
the committee, and perhaps four, fav
Oring the railroads, and three republi-
can and one democratic member IA
voring the, president What will Sem
ators Foster, Carmack, McLaurin and
Tillman, all democrats, do? The an
swer to this question is important, be-
cause as they vote so will the commit
tee report turn, with a majority report
favoring the railroads or the president.
Pressure for Westerners
Dolliver and Clapp will be subject to
great pressure in their home states
this summer and fall, and their atti-
tude toward railroad legislation next
winter will largely depend upon their
strength of character and ability to
defend themselves.
1t is predicted by well informed dem
ocrats that Foster, Tillman and Car
mack will stand with those members Of
the president, and if this should be the
case, the president will have the ma
jority of the committee and the rail-
roads the minority.
AS for the president, he is reported
as saying that it isn't material which
side controls the committee. He would
be pleased, of course, with the cOmpli-
ment of majority report, but he feels
that ne can get along without it. The
people, he says, are with him, ana in
the end they will get what they want.
regardless Of the way the committee
stands.

What the Feud Is Doing.

Just think of father and two the galows
bidding the world farewell while another tolls his life
away in prison CELL
OF course, you thinking of low proved murderers
thugs, who wayay victims and heath them to death
That class Of criminals is almost respectable when
compared with j. g. Rawlings and his boys, who
to pay the penalty of their awful crime
Crime is good deal a matter of intellect Certainly
the who knows and understands is than the
criminal who is little more than brute and who doesn It
appreciate the extent of his misdeeds
This is story Of feud that existed in this enligh-
ened age in the heart of enlightened country. j. g.
Rawlings, wealthy and retired Georgia minister, with
his three boys murdered two little children The deed
cod-booded, the crimes of feudism mostly
1t the result of family hatred 1t the sequel of
attempt to externnate entire family. 1t Raw
lngs who said he would crawl his belly for miles to kill
his enemy and his brood The hair of the murdered chill
dren's mother turned white in night.
This is not to be considered alone. The damn
ing fact is that through great section of the country the
crack of rife is still heard from ambush and murder is
still done with impuny This is the socaled chvalry Of
region that has chung to the old feudal system of
eye for eye and tooth for tooth It has brooded
trifes and magnfed wrongs and has killed men,
women and children without mercy
The feud to be American institution 1t is
still lourshng and populang cemeteries. 1t casts
too cheap.
There should be mercy. The strong hand of the law
should reach out for vengeance and there should be
et-up until the feud shall become obsolete the duel
is today.

The tired man sits at his desk and scows the figures
that confront him. There bills and bills that

1t is not strange if the wonders if it pays and if
his children would not be just well off if they
put up against sefdena and the steady grind that has
always been the part Of their father that made his hair
gray at 80 and gave him stoop at so.
Does it pay?
The question is almost sacrllegious.
The world is changing fast, for it is learning to de-
mand health and pleasure and recreation 1t says that it's
old men must remain young and that white hair and tot

true method of securing happiness.

HoRSoN'S CHALLENGE
TO WILLIAM J. BRYAN.

The challenge which Captain Rich

newspaper comment. The Montgom-
cry Journal, always one of the strong.

following to say upon the subject:

what has brought change over the
