RAILROAD RATE FAKEISM.

There seems to be a growing
conviction tina the W h o ! e
matter of railway rate legislation is
big bluff being played by the
Republican members OF Congress,
who are welded to the protective
tariff. That the ch-Townsend
bill was passed by the Republican
members of the Lower House as a
means to ally agitation is well
known. They knew the Senators
would hold it up and straDgle it, for
the time being at least. The Senate
did as was expected. That gave all
Of them a chance to sound public
opinion and find the best strategic
ground for the future. It was all a
comfort for the "stand pat" tariff
men. 1t diverted attention from
the tariff revision that the Repub-
llcans had promised that Roosevelt
demanded, and on which a score or
more members were elected to Con
gress last fall The protected in
dustries saw their opportunity.
They joined in an hypocritical and
hysterical howl for railroad regula-
ticn, although most Of them we're
benefciares Of whatever railroad
rebate system was in cxistance.
They are clamorous still. "rThe

Disappointed by the failure Of the

Hay-Bond reciprocity treaty natur-
ally disappointed perhaps, Premier
Bond has procured the passage
through the upper house OF the New.
foundland legislature of retaliatory
legislation which, according to the
telegraphic reports from St, Johns,
violates the rights granted to the
fishermen of this country by the
treaty with Great Britain of 1918
and which is still IN force. The
dispatches relate that once the Bond
bill becomes law the Newfound-
land government will seize any
American fishing vessel found within
three miles off the coast OF New
foundland, having on board bait or
supplies and that unless the captain
OF the vessel can prove that such
bait and supplies were not pro-
cured in Newfoundland, the vessel
and its cargo will be conhscated.

probable, however, that before such

Foreign Office will call the attention

visions of that treaty and will insist
that its terms he modified. In any
event there is little likelihood of
Great Britain's permitting any
action by one of its colonies which

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
A TOuch or Winter-What New Workers
Are Wearing-A New Literary
Sensation.

High winds, in almost icy atmos-
Phere, and four snow squalls have
been our portion lately. Recalling
the mildness of March, one would
think she changed places with April
on the calander.
Between penitential duties on the
one hand, and festive preparations
on the other, there seems to be no
margin at hand for regular pursuits.
Social obligations arc neglected,
"cuIts" eagerly followed at other
times are now as though they were
not and even the new magazines lie
with uncut leaves for the nonce.
That reminds me, Max Pemberton
begins stirring serial novel in the
April Strand, entitled, Lafayette.
and the Story Of the Man Who Was
His Friend" All who arc familiar
with Pemberton's style will realize
his fitness for the task OF putting
into historical fiction form the ex-
periences Of the man who was one
of the most picturesque fgnres in
our American Revolution. This
story overnows with heroism, thrill.
ling incidents, friendships and deli
cious love passages galore, and is
written in the authors very best
vein. The regular price OF the
Strand is ten cents a copy, and if
you cannot get it from your local
newsdealer, send to the Interna-
tional News Company, 80 Duane
