JrOl OF the hepuDllc3n political
coterie at Washington that nothing
short of civil revolution would ever
relieve them from il.
If determinations against locali-
ties and in favor of large shippers,
are done away with, as are other
abuses of transportation that are
due to determinations, and existing
laws enforced, the conservative
men of both parties with whom |
have talked, think that the troubles
which seem to worry the Middle
West, would be absolutely obviat-
ed, and the dangers of tremen-
dous Republican bureau at Wash
ington be avoided.
We better try with something
less important than railroads for a
beginning in State socialism. 1t
has been too big a problem for the
European countries that have
tackled it.
The fact that the President has
authorized the Attorney General
to proceed against the PabSt Brew
ing Company, its subsidiary cor
poratiOn running a private car line
and the various railroad companies.
which are made parties to the suit,
Is commented on here as showing a
weakness in the Presidents con
tentiOn for railroad rate regulation.
The mere fact that he has started
suit against one private car line
would show clearly that the admin
lStratiOn Is of the opinion that
there Is quite enough law already
on the statute books to break up
all the so-called abuses of the pfi-
vate car lines, otherwise it would
not have walked up and brought
the suit against Pabst. They GER
tainly believe that there Is already
a remedy at hand to break up any
thing that looks like rebates in the
private car line business. if they
are proceeding in good faith in
this suit. If they are not doing so
then the suit Is just mere buncombe
and has been instituted for political
! effect. This suit is In corrobora-
ton of all the statements | have
been making in this correspond
ence to the effect that there is and
has been ample law on the books
TO put a stop TO rebates in the pri-
vate car line business. If any exist
ed. provided the administration
would quit Its four-flushing and
bring suit to stop it. Now that il
has come 10 my conclusion in the
matter, it seems silly and puerile
to howl that the private car lines
must be placed under the iurisdic-
ton of the Interstate Commerce
Commission in order to save the
country. This suit proves conclu-
sively to the minds of many of the
leading politicians here that the
President has been four-fiushing.
50 far as the law Is concerned. and
Is doing the grand stand act in his
demand for more law to control
the private car lines. Some day
the people will wake up and find
out that Theodore Roosevelt is \
political fakir. One of his latest
acts proclaims him such in thunder
tones. He has been posing for
years as the civil service reformer
par excellence, yet his recent order
to the effect that any clerk can be
fired by the head of the bureau
without any excuse. makes it pos
sible for every Democrat now
holding positions in the depart
ments here to get kicked out, and
think it was issued for that pur-

Washington. Dec. l.-Ou OF almost
rotously disoordant political conditions
IN New York state. President Roosevelt
has abored all the past week 10 bring
the means OF peace. He has called re-
formers and shrewd politicians to tho
counsel chamber and during the next
week every republican member OF con
gress bearing credentials from the Em-
pire state will be consulted on tho
troubles which threaten TO disrupt the
party.
The president realizes The oyorshadow-
ing Importance Of New York IN national
elections and he knows that history has
shown that breaches in the party ranks
in his native state are longer in clos
ing than similar breaches in any other
state in the union His desire is to
hrire about a present peace and to leave
legacy Of harmony to the next repub-
lican who aspires to the presidency.
