WHO IS DIscREDITED?

The New York Press, republican,
takes very much the same view of the
senate's amendment of the arbitra-
ton treaties as the Times-Republican
when it attributes the senates action
to desire to discredit the president.
The Press goes farther, however, and
speaks even more plainly, when it says
the senate's scheme is ito discredit the
president in his fight for a square deal
from the syndicated railroads by mis-
Interpreting him as a tyrant seeking
to overthrow the power of the SEN
ate." Continuing the Press asserts
Roosevelt's face only to give him a
black eye, and to cripple him, if pos
sible, for his fight against the special
interests that own United States sena-
tors
Nor is the defense of the president
against the APPARENT wish of the sem
ate. to put him in an impossible posi-
ton confined to republican journals?
The democratic Baltimore Sun comes
to his defense after this fashion:
1T is impossible for the senate to dis
credit the president as the popular
champion of reform in railroad meth
DDS. 1t is possible, however, for the
members of that body to discredit the
senate by aligning themselves with the
corporations against the people. 1t is
impossible for the senate to divert the
attention of the public from legislation
in which S0,000,000 people of this coun-
try are directly interested, by trying
to make it appear that Mr.. Roosevelt
has no respect for the constitution.
The people have more confidence in the
president, who fights in the open, than
in statesmen who either dodge an is
sue or defeat legislation by secret
methods.
This is about the size of it. The
president is making fight for popular
rights and against special interests.
He has public confidence to a degree
that the senate has never earned or
enjoyed. Whether or not the senate is
thrilled by an unselfsh desire to de-
fend the constitution, the people as
whole are ready to discount it's motives
and stand by Roosevelt, whose every
motive mas been markedly sincere. If
there has been or may be discredit in
the controversy between the president
and the upper house it does not and
will not, in popular estimation, attach
tc, the president.

Missions in Africa.

The globe trotlers" has not yet APP

so the writer is sure he SAW the check

at the Webster City tournament. In
the hotel where all congregated one
could easily distinguish the checker
iiend from the regular transient guest.
And if that WAS not enough the excit-
ed discussions over proposed rules and
concerning the playing qualities of the
different wouldbe champions, show
ed how deadly in earnest were these
checker players. And the writer has
an idea these checker players live
longer than other men. just because
they can become so enthusiastic over
Il game of checkers, and are willing
to spend time and money for fun, for
checkers is fun, pure and not so sim
pie. In other words all of us in the

Colonel Hepburn's speech in favor of
the rate legislation bin and of the bill
that passed the house by such a big
vote, was a surprise to many. He was
commonly supposed to be in sympathy
with the corporations, and his constit-
uents that hung him in effigy We're not
greatly in error in the minds of many.
But there's no going behind the re-
turns. Give Hepburn the credit of see
ing a Saul like light and leaving his
Paul opinions behind him. Some now
can even credit his antagonism against
the Panama canal, and in favor of the
Nicaruga route, as being good, straight
honest work.
While on this subject it is in line
to mention q conversation the writer
had with an Iowa congressman during
the holidays. Even at that time this
of congress said the bill to in
crease the power of the interstate
commission will go thru the house, the
railroads. railroad attorneys and lob
byists working for it openly and above
board. But this latter crowd are sure
the senate will not find time or inclina-
ton to pass such a bill this session and
at an extra or future regular session
means will be found to kill the whole
business. His opinion of tariff reform
was that the same tactics We're to be
pursued. While he favors both the
bills he had little hope that the will
of the people would be put into law.
