President Henry S. Pritchett of the Mas sachusetts Institute of Technilogy says that the profession" of politics is to be exalted. All politicians will agree with him as a unit. The more exaltation there is. both as regards salary and office, the better pleased our political Napoleons will be.

RATE FIXING IN THE SENATE,


Public interest in ratemaking
legislation now centers in the atti
tude of the Senate. There is no
reason to believe that year of
discussion has wrought any change
in the real convictions of those
Senators who during the last SEES
sion were opposed to the Presi-
dents policies. If the Senators
have read and needed the testi-
mOny heard by the Elkins com
mittee there may indeed have been
some few conversions to the side of
the Presidents opponents; certain
ly that body of evidence has won
no support for the Presidents
message.
There is talk of changes however,
and Senator Elkins among others
is said to have been brought to a
cOnsenting mood.
Democratic Senators from the
Southern States have been brought
over, but that has nothing to do
with convictions. Mistaken notions
of political expediency, but above
all a needless personal enthusiasm
for the President, have suficed
with them. These Southern Dem
ocrats, because they like Mr.
| Roosevelt and admire him, have
apparently concluded to let hin
do their thinking. Senator Morgan
is an honorable exception.
Senator Aldrich continues to dc
his own thinking. Senator Foraker
stands with him, and there are
others of the same opinion. 1t is
purely a question of whether the
Senators are to continue to be &
body OF conscientious lawmakers
or whether they are to become the
Presidents puppets.

The.naval court-martial which
tried\the Branch Meriwether case
having completed its repore there
is considerable speculation in
Washington as to what the finding
win be, and there seems to be quite
a division of opinion on the matter.
Some have expressed the belief
that the reviewing authority will
approve sentence of dismissal
and the unfortunate Meriwether
will be turned out of the Naval
Academy. Others hold, however,
that if so cruel and unjust a verdict
were to be proclaimed by the court
martial it is impossible to believe
that such men as President Roose
velt and Secretary Taft would give
il their sanction.
