Mr.. Long, in reply to a question of
Congressman Murdoch as to whether
the courts could settle rate ques-
ton, said: In my opinion it cannot
be done. It is true that there is a diff
ference of opinion. But is it right for
a court to inquire into a mans private
business?" This seems to indicate that
Senator Long has taken the position
of the railroad managers that the mat
ter of making rates is the private bust
ness of the railroads, and that the
people have nothing to do with it ex-
cept to pay the rates. If that prin-
ciple is to be established the people
of this country can not too soon build
their own railroads. This position is
simply monstrous. Will Senator
Long and the railroad managers
claim that the government of the
country, national, state and mu-
nicipal, shall condemn right of way
through the private property of the
citizens, give right of way over public
streets in cities because the railroad
is public highway Of commerce es-
tablished in the interests of the pub
lie, yet that same public has no rights
that the corporation building the road
is bound to respect wichita Eagle.

simply monstrous" is the phrase it
uses to describe Senator Longs posi-
ton on the railroad question. The
Wichita Eagle is, however, f1anked by
the Topeka Capital-which is a pretty
good Republican paper as they go,
and by the Kansas City Star, and the
Topeka State Journal. which papers
have supported more Republican can
didates and Republican officials in the
ten years last past than Democrats
These papers are intelligent; they
know as much about the railroad ques-
ton as Senator Long. Probably the
editor of the Wichita Eagle knows
more-much more than Senator Long
knows about the railroad question.
For Senator Long to discount the wis
dom of these papers. which have sup
ported him in season and out, for
many years, may or may not be a
political mistake. But there can be no
doubt of the sentiment of Kansas,
and that it agrees with these papers
is unquestioned. And for Senator
Long to defy public sentiment in his
state, is not merely poor politics, but
it is morally wrong IN this instance

The match between Honey" Mel
lody and Jerry Mccarthy, which is
slated for April IS at the athletic
club, is attracting attention all over
the country and is doing much to
advertise the fact that Spokane has

favorably with any amateur organi-
cation in the United States.

Jerry'sA performance with Melody
at Butte was fast giving him ma

In speaking of the Mellody-Mc-
Carthy go, Rob Roy's Weekly and

Roy's Gossip:
1.-THE Amateur Athletic club of
Spokane, Wash, is to be congratu-
lated in securing such a splendid at
traction os Honey Melody Of Bos-
ton, Mass, and Jerry Mccarthy of
Butte, Mont, for the stellar bout
April IS. These men are the peer of
any in the west at their weight and
a battle should be witnessed by the
Spokane patrons of boxing that will
eclipse anything ever before seen in
their city. This is q strong state
ment to make, but it is utterly de-
void of exaggeration, and l am led
to make the prediction by reason of
the vigorous performance these men
engaged in at Butte a few weeks ago.
According to the reports 1t was a
sensational combat and was brought
to an unexpected end at time when
both were fighting fiercely, Melody
getting that sleep inducing right to
McCarthy's jaw. The punch was IN
deed soporfic one. for Jerry did not
respond within the allotted time and
Melody won out in a conflict that the
spectators will never forget. The
matchmaker Is fortunate to secure
these men and 1t will be no surprise
to learn when the battle is over that
the capacity of the club was taxed
far beyond its seating capacity. The
principals are fearless. and I look
forward to fast and furious en-
gagement that will terminate with a
knockout, but / can not dope the win
