At Christmastide the great popular
heart softens, self and selfshness
shrink perceptibly, and sentiment is not
only tolerated, but encouraged. It is
for this reason, together with its uni

anything that satisfies. 1t is pre-emi-

are members of the house of represen-

the rate bill that was passed by the
lower house at the last session and
then taken under consideration by the
senate, which failed to act. At the
opening of the present session the bill,
practically retaining its original form,
but somewhat amplihed in it's pro
visions, was reintroduced into the
house Of representatives by its energetic
0riginators.
The inspiration for the proposed
measure seems to have been derived
from an extract from one of President
Roosevelt's messages to the effect that
eat the present moment the greatest
need is for an increase in the power of
the national government to keep the
highways of commerce open alike to all
on reasonable and equitable terms" In
spite OF this plain expression of the
views held by the executive the leaders
showed little disposition to assume the
initiative. The Moloch to be over
thrown was so mighty that the veterans
in the political arena hesitated to begin
