CONTROL OF Rates
strongly urged
INTERSTATE COMMERCE COM
MISSION DECLARES LEGISLA-
TON TO BE NECESSARY.
Correction of Evils of Exorbitant
Charges by Railroads Can Only Be
Accomplished by Changes in Ex-
listing Statutes.

Washington, Dec. 15-The annual
report of the interstate commerce COM
mission was transmitted to congress
Thursday. The commission has re-
peatedly called attention to the neces-
sity for certain amendments and addi-
tions to the present act to regulate
commerce, and in this report the COM
mission sets forth the general reasons
for proposed amendments contained in
the form of bill, which has been sub
mitted to the senate committee on in
terstate commerce in compliance with
request therefor. The most impor-
tant amendment is delegation of au-
thority to the commission to determine
what rate should be submitted for the
future in place of one found, after full
hearing, to be unlawful, with the
further provision that the order of the
commission prescribing such substi-
tuted rate shall take effect within a
reasonable time. unless vacated or set
aside by judicial proceedings. It
is designed in the amendment pro-
posed by the commission to confer this
authority in unmistakable terms and
In conformity with the decisions of the
supreme court and the opinion of the
attorney general furnished to the COM
mittee respecting the power of the
courts and the constitutionality Of such
legislation.
Wants Control Over Icing.
The commission recommends that
the phrase under common control,
management or arrangement" in the
first section of the law, be omitted.
This would make the regulating
statute apply to certain classes of car
riers now exempt from its application
and requirements The definition in
the first section of the term trans
portation" should be enlarged so as to
include the charges for various serv-
ices, such as refrigeration and the like,
which are now claimed to be beyond
the authority Of the commission. The
obligation to furnish and provide the
services here referred to is also pro-
posed, which is likewise point now In
dispute.
At the present time large quantities
of perishable commodities are trans
ported over such distances that arti-
fetal refrigeration is necessary, and in
such transportation the ice is just as
essential as the hauling of the car.
The owner of the commodity trans
ported can no more provide the re-
frigeration than he could provide the
transportation itself, and the conse-
quences of an exorbitant icing charge
or of discrimination in refrigeration
charges are precisely as serious as the
same kind of extortion or discrimina-
ton would be in the transportation
charge itself.

He who writes the history of our time in some later and saner age will find its most inexplicable feature in this desire to add million to million. to heap up riches which none shall gather. Reason can appreciate the de- sire of a man to accumulate compe- tence wholly adequate to his comfort for life and that of those whom he leaves behind him. Reason can ac- count for the constant and laborious activity of men engaged in great en- terprises that bring great fortunes. Here it is not the money. but the do- ing of great things. the working out of a plan, the forcing of events that constitute the attraction. The money profit Is merely an unregarded incident and not a motive. But there is pre- yailing throughout the country today a mad thirst for mere wealth as wealth. a desire to heap together a pile of coins bigger than any other mans. which is not only unworthy as an impulse but as foolish and as pur- poseless in itself as the games of little children who gather sticks and stones into meaningless piles and then scat ter them.
 Something like this was probably at the back Of Bigelow's fall The way for it was made easy by the existence of the great stock exchanges. where fortunes rise and fall every day. partly at the beck of chance and partly at the direction of the great manipulators who control the ex- changes. Surely 1t Is a curious and futile thing that municipal govern ments all over this country give their attention to the gambling evil. pass ordinances. raid establishments and inflict pUnishments upon offenders, while gambling on the hugest scale goes on openly and daily under an honorable name. sucking fortunes and regulations and lives into its remorse- less vortex. The startling exposure in Milwaukee Is written all over with great and eloquent morals. They are so plain. however. that, if our people had not already read them, an event like this. though crushing in effect and sensational in magnitude. can give to them no greater force.

A Form of Madness.

The terrific crash involving MT. Big elow, formerly president of the First National bank of Milwaukee. in de- falcation of $1,5OO.O00 is one of those incidents that can scarcely be explain ed on any other basis than a belief iE the mans insanity. By this We do not mean that he was irresponsible. or that penalty of his act What We do mean Is thatan idea, a passion. a mania had taken such hold upon him that 1t ob- scured everything else and dethroned both reason and conscience.
 We are familiar with the man who gets into bad company, acquires bad habits. loads up with debts incurred for various forms of dissipation and steals money to continue the gratifica- ton of his appetites. Here was a man, apparently of irreproachable habits. man of large wealth and high standing in the community, who deliberately plunged himself into the deepest pit that waited. He sacrificed fortune reputation, personal comfort. and Is today a disgraced criminal waiting only the formal proceedings that con-
 sign him to a prison cell. He did not even attempt to escape the conse- quences of his act. but made a clean breast of it and gave himself up.
 It Is cases like this which show us that they are right who claim that the passion for speculation is the most ir- resistible of all those to which human ity is subject. This man squandered the great sums that he stole in specu- lation. He began in the usual way by using small sums of the banks money i for dealings in stocks. Then he plung- ed in the wheat market, and ever as his losses increased he drew more and
 more heavily from the money con- | fded to his care. When at last he saw | that restitution had become impossi- ble. he abandoned the game and made
 his confession.
 Now there can be no other explana-
 tion of this than such a possession by the mania for speculation as amounts | to virtual insanity. This man did not need more money. He had all that
 anyone could enjoy. He had a fine | home, all the comforts and luxuries that reason could ask, and additions to
 his wealth could give him nothing really worth having. Yet he branched out, became a promoter. speculated in
 this direction and that and sacrificed
 all that men commonly hold most dear for a success. which. if it came, could bring to him nothing but a few
 useless millions. Even in our day of
 big measures and reckless extrava-
 gance, the sight of man who actu-
 ally has SsOO.OOO of his own to turn
 over to his creditors destroying his
 career and his reputation and making
 himself a common thief in the hope
 that he might make more money is one for the madhouse.

UNKNOWN BUT ANGRY
A Woman Disturbed the Republican
 Meeting Last Night.

A thing happened at the republican mass meeting at the city hall plaza last night which the republican man. agers greatly regretted. In the audience was pr. II. A. Hughes. who had come to see what he could see and hear what he could hear He both saw and heard more than he thought possible to have on the program.
 He found himself suddenly in the clutches of an irate woman who knocked off his hat and tried to seize his cane. She called him an imprint able name and despite the efforts of Marshal Kinney persis ed in an effort to mix with the doctor.
 She accused him of having slandered her through his paper. the Anti Tin Horn. and in his speeches. She said that he had not only slandered her but many others and that a licking was what he needed.
 Nobody knew the woman and the most careful inquiry last night failed to disclose her identity The doctor said after it was all over that in all his sins he had never slandered any woman and this one he had never be- fore seen or heard of

BABY'S AWFUL
 ITCHING ECZEMA
Sores All Over Face and Body - Could Not Tell What She Looked Like = Unable to Sleep Grew Worse Under Doctors.
CURED BY CUTICURA
 IN ONE MONTH

A grateful mother, in the following letter, tells of another of those mar velous cures by Cuticura: "When my baby was four months old her skin broke out with humor. took her to a doctor, who said it was eczema. He gave me medicine to give her, but she kept getting worse all the time. Her little face and body were SO covered with sores and large scales you could not tell what she looked like. No child ever had worse case. Her face was being eaten away, and even her finger nails fell off. Then 1t itched so she could not sleep, and for many weary nights we could get no rest. At last we got Cuticura Soap and Ointment, first bathing her in warm water with the Soap, and then spreading on the Oint- ment with soft cloths. l saw a change in a week. The sores began to heal, and she could sleep at night, and in one month she had not one sore on her face or body. Any mother hav- ing children with eczema or humors will find a friend in C icura Soap and Ointment. (signed) Mrs. Mary Sanders, 7o9 Spring St., Camden, NJ Aug. I4, 1904"
 The foregoing statement justifes the oft-repeated assertion that Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment afford instant relief, and permit sleep for baby and rest for tired mothers, and points to a speedy, permanent, and economical cure, when all else fails, in the most torturing, disfguring, itching, burn ing, bleeding, scaly, crusted, and pimply skin, and scalp humors.
