TUESDAY, MARCH II, 1905
THE PRESIDENTS PART

1t is a law of human nature that per-
sons most strenuous in pointing out to
others their duty and insisting upon
its performance are not always so So
iicitous about their own. Our ener-
getic president is no exception to the
months he will have another chance to
make good before the American people.
President Roosevelt is greatly disap-
pointed because congress failed to pass
a railroad rate bill, and reiterates his
determination to call the members to-
gether in extra session some time dur
ing the fall. Perhaps the members
who are thus being instructed and
having forcible hands laid upon them
will remind the president that there Is
little unperformed duty on his own
side; which, if attended to, might
greatly lessen both their responsibility
and their labors
For some considerable time there has
been upon the federal statutes an act
known as the Elkins law. 1t was
framed to cover exactly the abuses
which are urged as a reason for new
legislation. 1t is said on most excel
lent authority to cover them all. For
mer Attorney General Knox, who GER
tainly knew what he was about, has
definitely stated that he wrote the par
orlI1 in III al
rebates and Determinations, and that
he believes it would, If enforced, be
thoroughly effective. Why has no at
tention been given to it by the admin
istration?
Everybody now understands and adj
mits that the grievances which the
people complain of, as far as they COM
plain at all, in reference to the rail-
roads, relate not to regular rates, but
to determinations, to secret rebates, to
favored shippers, to private car lines
and to other details of management
that give one citizen an advantage
over another. The general level OF
rates is admittedly reasonable. Re-
duction in the cost of transportation
has progressed along with reduction in
income of railroad properties. To the
public has gone the lions share of the
advantages incident to invention, i'm
provement and increasing volume of
business. What the public does want
and insist upon is fair play. 1t is not
necessary for this end that we should
set up five political hacks to manage
property worth billions and an inter-
est affecting pretty nearly every per-
son in the country. Least of all is any
such radical action necessary if there
is already in existence law sufficient
to bring about the results that the
people actually want.
We indict President Roosevelt for
carelessness, If no worse, in this mat
ter. He is insistent upon the perform
ance Of public duty. Why has he not
performed his own? Why has he gone
clamoring to congress for relief, when
the man who was his own trusted legal
adviser says that there is law enough
In existence already to accomplish
every desired end? Why has he asked
congress to legislate about rates when
the wrongs that really exist, not as
unreasonable rates but in the form of
rebates and Determinations, are al
ready prohibited by law that he takes
no steps to enforce? This is the aues-
ton that senators and representatives
may pertinently put up to. him during
the summer vacation.

Mime. Hanna Mara, one of those en-

voice was discovered. Nine. Mara
started out to be pianist She was
born in the Austrian Tyrol and taken
TO vienna when she was a child. At
the age of 6 she was being exploited
as an infant prodigy, so great was her
talent at the piano. Luckily, her par
ents were people of sound sense. and
ruined by adulation, but set out to
give her a sound education without, OF
course. neglecting her music. She
worked at her piano until she was IS
years old and about to be launched on
the concert stage. Her career was as
sured, because when she was Is years
old she won the first prize for piano
at the Vienna conservatory and had
attracted the attention of some of
the foremost musicians of Germany
and Austria.

More to Be Pitied Than Scorned,'
Charles E. Blaney's new play had an
other large audience at the Grand last
evening. The play, while melodra-
matte in tone. does not run riot with
sensationalism. although there are
enough of thrills to satisfy lovers of
melodrama. The scene showing the
stage of a theater during a rehearsal
affords a fine opportunity for several
splendid vaudeville numbers. The first
matinee will be given tomorrow at
2:39.

will be j. P. Kennedy's scenic produc-
ton, "Yon Yonson," which seems to
