MAKING A SQUARE ISSUE.
Measure to Prevent Rate Discrimina-
tons Which Will Meet with
Opposition.

President Roosevelt has Endorsed the
Hepburn bill to prevent rate discrimina-
tons, and it will be pressed upon the
house as an administration measure
with, it is claimed, a fair prospect of its
passage in shat body, Notwithstanding
the strong opposition which the rail-
roads are actively organizing, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
But the chief strength of the opposi-
ton lies in the senate, and unless ar I'M
looked for change in the programme is
effected, there is little hope of that, or
any other measure having a similar pur-
pose, getting through before the present
congress comes to an end. The commit
tee on interstate commerce has planned
a series of hearings that will consume
all the remainder of the session, and as
any bill that might pass the senate
would be referred to that committee,
where it must necessarily awaitthe result
of the hearings, the chance of its being
ready to go to the president before the
4th Of March is small. No doubt, should
the bill pass the house, the president
will bring all the executive official and
personal pressure possible to bear upon
senators in its favor, but the relations
between the president and the senate
are somewhat strained, and it is doubtful
if he can either coax or whip that body
into doing what it has apparently no
mind to do.
What will the president do in case Of
the probable failure of congress to act?
He was reported as planning to call an
extra session for tariff revision unless
something in that line was done at the
present session, but Speaker Cannon
made a few incisive remarks on the sub
ject and the president promptly dis
claimed any such purpose. Then it was
announced that unless this congress
passed a measure against rate discrim-
ination there positively would be an
extra session, and there were yelled
hints that tariff revision might then be
taken up after rate discrimination had
been disposed of. The senate apparent
ly intends to "call his bluff" as Speaker
Cannon did with success. Will President
Roosevelt weaken a second time?

MISSOURI STATE NEWS.


st. Louis physicians are deeply In
terested in the McIndoe bill, recently
introduced, having as its object the
suppression of the sale Of cocaine, and
are formulating plans to impress upon
the legislature the necessity of adding
1t to the statutes. Under the present
laws cocaine is not classed as a poison.
and the sale of the deadly narcotic is
enormous. Physicians make the asser-
ton that people using it are not con-
ned to n class. The McIndoe bill
provides that cocaine shall be sold
only on the prescription of a physician,
and that each prescription shall be
filled but once.

SHIP SUBSIDIES AND TARIFF
American Industry Taxed in Order
to Maintain Profit of
Trusts.

There are certain influential Ameri-
cans who eagerly long to embark in the
disinterested work of restoring the
American flag to the ocean where for SO
many years it proudly waved, provided
only that the American people, through
their representatives in congress, shall!
insure to them in the way of subsidies
a large return upon their patriotic in.
vestment, says the Chicago Tribune
(Rep.).
Sir William White, the famous Eng
fish shipbuilder, in a letter to the Times
on the shipbuilding industry in America,
incidentally points out one reason why
at the present time American capital
cannot build ships with the maximum
of proftableness. American steel is in
respect of the cost Of production much
cheaper than English steel. But Amer
lean steelmakers sell steel to American
shipbuilders at a price 40 to so per cent.
higher than that charged across the At
lantic. Why? Because they can. And
why al they? Because they are shell
tered by an altitudinous tariff.
The subsidy project, therefore,
amounts to this: American industry Is
taxed in order to maintain steel profits;
steel profits make s%hipbuilding difficult,
because steel is needed in building ships;
therefore, another tax shall be imposed
upon American industry, SO that ship
building car pay the steel tax and still
bring in dividends.
II shipbuilding needs encouragement
the fact will not appear till the artif.
cial restrictions under which 1t labora
have been removed. The steel schedule
in the Dingley law is too heavy a loaC
for 1t just now. Lift that load and SEQ
what happens. Till then there will b.
no ship subsidies.
In reminiscent as we'll as president
mood, the Elmira Gazette observes.
president Grant was something OF A
tariff reformer, but there was no reform.
President Arthur was something of a
tariff reformer, but there was no reform.
President Roosevelt is something of a
tariff reformer, and 1t is up to him to
keep history from becoming monoto.

Keep It to Themselves.

Our republican friends do not wear
their hearts on their sleeves. When dem
ocrats fall out, they are prone to hire a
hall, proclaim aloud their differences,
and raise the standard of rival factions,
to rally all hands for a fight for tho lead
erships. But the republicans, bound to-
gether by the cohesive power Of public
plumber, so successfully confine their
calling of names to the privacy Of tile
inner chamber that it is only by vague,
general and not always reliable clues
that one can deduce that hair is being
pulled, fifth ribs being jeoparded by the
sharp steel Of rival ambitions, and stilet-
toes sharpened for a gentlemanly carv-
ing CT long-lost brothers.--Albany Ar

A Cleveland judge, commenting upon
the appalling increase in the number
of divorces, says twu-thirds OF the
cases are due to early marriages. His
theory is that the divorce courts are
kept busy because so many young peo-
pie marry before they are old enough
to form sensible views of matrimony,
and SO he advises youths and maidens
to go slow" While the advice may
be good. the judges theory will not
stand investigation. Brides and
grooms are now a good deal older, on
the average, than they were a few
generations ago.
