RATE BILL.
Ohio Senator Proposes . Complicated
Plan Of Railroad Rate Lsgislatiou.

WASHINGTON. Nov. p. - Senator
Foraker, Of Ohio, has submitted to the
committee on interstate commerce the
draft of a bill to regulate interstate
commerce railway rates, which he
believes is infinitely better in theory
than any easur which contemplates
vesting the interstate commission with
power to maks rates.
The senator's bill provides that
whenever q shipper may think he is
charged an excessive rate, or when.
ever rebates r complained of, or
any form of Discrimination is Oh arged
and q complaint, no matter how in.
formal, fled with the interstate com.
merce commission, it shall be the duty
of that commission to Immediately in.
vestigate such complaint, and ii it
reach the conclusion that there is
reasonable ground for it and the rail-
way will not upon notice from the
commission desist from charging the
excessive rate or giving the rebate or
practicing the discrimination, the com.
mission shall thereupon, instead of
proceeding to have q formal trial as
heretofore, forthwith certify the com.
plant, with q brief statement of the
testimony in support, to the attorney
general.
The attorney general shall there.
upon refer the same to the proper
United States attorney, who shall At
once file a petition in the circuit court
Of the United States having jurisdic.
ton, which court shall forthwith pro-
coed to make parties Of all who are in.
terested and at once hear the com.
plant. Upon hearing the complaint
it shall %enJoin, If it be a case of ex-
cessive charge, all that part of such
rate In excess OF the just and reasona-
BILE rate prescribed by statutes or to
enjoin the giving Of rebates or the
further practice of the discrimina alton
complained Of, according as it may be
one Or the other.
The railways shall have the right to
appeal from this decision to the su-
preme court of the United States, but
this appeal shall not supersede the
judgment Of the court unless the cir.
cult court in trying the case or the su.
preme court of the United States shall
for good cause show order. The whole
proceeding shall be in the name of the
United States and at the expense of
the United States and without any ex.
pense whatever to the shipper.
The bill provides for the appoint.
ment OF expert examiners who may
under the direction of the commission
make an examination at any time Of
all books, documents and papers Of
any railway that relate to interstate
commerce. The procedure would en-.
able the commission to ascertain the
facts and secure the evidence.

HistOrlC Sandwich.

The good work Of marking historic
places steadily spreads, says the
Springfield (Mass.) Republican. The
Village Improvement society at Sand
wich. Mass. has appointed a commit
tee to do this work there. The first
white settlers OH Cape Cod took up
their abode in Sandwich. and the first

James johnson. a rancher living near
Cornox, seven miles from Cumberland,
B. c., reports several Mowglis, or wild
men. who have been seen in that neigh
borhood by ranchers, says a Nanaimo
(B. c. correspondent Of the San Fran
cisco Call. johnson asserts that they
were performing what seemed to be q
sort Of ''sun dance" on the sand. One
Of them caught a glimpse Of johnson,
who was viewing the proceedings from
behind a big log. The Mowglis disap-
peared as il by magic into a big cave.
Thomas Kincaid. q rancher living
near French creek. while bicycling
from Cumberland, also reports seeing
a Mowgli, whom he describes as a pow
erfully built man. more than six feet
in height and covered with long black
hair. The wild man upon seeing Kin
caid uttered a shrek and disappeared
into the woods. Upon arriving home
Kincaid wrote Government Agent
Bray Of Nanaimo. inquiring If 1t would
be lawful to shoot the Mowgli, as he
was terrorizing that vicinity.
The government agent replied that
there was no law permitting such IN
act. 1t is reported that on a recent
hunting expedition up the Quailicum
river MI Indian saw a Mowgli and. mis-
taking him for a bear, shot at and
wounded him. During the past montl
no less than eleven persons coming tt
Nanaimo from Cumberland have seer
the wild men. Parties have been or
ganized. and every effort is being made
to capture the Mowglis.

Foreign Parents and
Their Children

By rss JANE adams. Founder Of Hull House. chHaso
@1HE foreign children generally attend the public school until
about fourteen years old and then enter some business field
to earn a salary. At this age they arc able to earn moro
money than their parents. and they become independent and
feel themselves ABOVE THE PARENTS.
Americanize the foreign parents Is we'll as the pupil Of foreign
parents. Get hold of them, have them attend public meetings in pub
lie halls, listen to lectures n America and their native land as well
in their mother tongue if necessary, and you will find that such II
movement will place the foreign parents in a rank ALONGSIDE or
THEIR CHILD who has had a few years advantage of the publ
schools. a.

A NEW GLASS RUSH.
Combination Of Football ana Free
Fight Tried mt Pennsylvania,

Combination Of Football and Free
Fight Tried at Pennsylvania.
An innovation il class r,isiles was
recently tried with great success by
the freshmen and sophoinorcs of the
University Of Pennsylvania. says the
| New York Tribune. Instead Of the
senscless fight in the basement Of Col.
legc hail, in which many students have
In past years received injuries owing
to ,he limited space for the fracas, the
seniors decided this time to have the
affair in Franklin field. AS another
Improvement it vas arranged to make
the class rush u combination of foot
bail Oil Il gigantic scale and n free for
all pushing scramble.
S~OphOnOres and freshmen lined up
Oh opposite sides of Franklin field,
while the senior who managed the af-
fair stood in the center with u football.
Each side was instructed that the
game was to carry the ball down be-
hind the goal posts, as ut football. No
rules were made for the rush. The
sole object was to get the ball back
Of the game posts. Any tactics short of
numbering an opponent would he DEEM
ell fair. All class rushes are governed
by this basic understanding. When
both sides were ready the students
stripped to the waist, and, thirsting
for each others blood, the ball was
thrown into the air, and the opposing
squads came together with a crash.
Thcnceforth it was a squirming, strug-
Cling bunch Of boys, with a football
somewhere in the center Of the mass,
where no Il knew or seemed to care.
The most sensational incident Of this
new class rush was the sudden ap-
pearance from the rim Of the strug-
Cling circle Of a scared and battered
football. Only one boy Of the half
naked contestants saw the ball. The
rest We're too intent on the struggle to
notice that the objective Of the fight
had made its escape between the feet
Of the students. The n boy who hap
pened to see the ball making its coy
way to freedom grabbed it and held
It in his hands uncertainty for a mo-
ment.
"Run with it," yelled q hundred
voices in unison as the astOnished
spectators saw what had happened.
The boy with the ball ran, with the
entire aggregation Of students after
him. But he had q clear field, and no
one could stop him short Of the goal
line. He made a clean touchdown. But
alas for the futility of human endeav-
or-he had touched the ball behind his
opponents goal, scoring n victory for
the freshmen. Emerging, as he did,
from the fracas with his head swim
ming and both sides Of the field alike
to him. the unfortunate sophomore had
made the objectionable mistake Of run-
ming with the ball in the wrong direc-
ton.
The spectators In the stands com
planned that they could not e what
was going on, SO next year a pushball
will be substituted for the football.
The new style rush was 80 successful
that it will become a permanent fea.
ture Of student life at Old Penn.

Every American Woman
Should Have the Ballot

o you ask me how the despohsm of power may be over
thrown? I believe in the ballot-the easiest weapon to use
and the one weapon Of which power stands in deadly fear.
believe the ballot should be in the hands Of every Amcri-
can woman. THERE is NO PHASE OF EXISTENCE THAT
WOMAN HAS NOT FRIGHTENED, and the American political
system will become free from tarnsh and take on luster whenever
woman is established in the elective franchise.
We WOULD NOT RETURN THE WIVES AND MOTHERS OF
IDAHO TO Subsection ANY MORE THAN We WOULD TAKE THE
OTHER BACKWARD STEPS INTO 1AR1ARlsM. THE HAPPY Ex.
PERlENcE OF THE PAST FEW YEARS HAS RENDERED US PROOF
AGAINST R,D,cvLE AND THE FALSE DOCTRINE OF THE ST..
PERloRiTv OF MAN.
Better laws and better men to administer them, cleaner politics
and better schools, the home a more powerful factor at the polls than
ever before-these are a few of the blessings that equal suffrage has
brought to Idaho, EVERY ONE OF THEM A CONVINCING
ARGUMENT for tho freedom of the women of Oregon.
