with dignity by Mr.. ]. c. Page, who

some assurance Of water and they can
not have good supply of water unless
the canals are cleaned, even when the

There were brave men before Aga

editor of the Nation, who is evidently
no respecter of persons and who car
ries his nerve with him, speaks of Sen
ator Henry Cabot Lodges .'crudest

farther go. The Lords anointed is as

ance here is the entire paragraph
wherein and whereby Henry Cabot is
belabored:
The crudest nonsense of all is Senator
Lodges implication that anything like a
scheme to logic or consistent policy has
led to the tariff as we know it, 1t is,
rather, the haphazard and amorphous re-
sultant of long series of inapudent and
selfish demands by special interests. max
ing corrupt use of political power cor
ruptly obtained Our tariff taxes are very
like the transit taxes enforced by local
barons n the middle ages. They took toll
from every one that passed. the alleged
reason being some service rendered, like
building a bridge or keeping a road open,
but the real reason being that they had
the power to rob travellers and traffick-
ers. In like manner our various powerful
siegneurs have had their toll written into
the tariff laws. The latest of them to
insist upon their share of the plumber
were the cattle barons, who, in spite of
Lodges protests, made Massachusetts
pay them a tax on hides 1t is this fact
which lends peculiar significance to the
present movement of revolt in that state
AS the tax on hides was the pitch of pro-
tectionist stupidity and effrontery, so its
removal might be the beginning of a re-
turn to sense and deeency. Even Lodge is
constrained to promise to work for this
though aonly through the Republican
party. He is not going to enter upon
q revision OF the tariff by uniting with
the Democratic party in Washington and
voting down other Republicans. No

Gently said editorially:
Senator Elkins, who is the moving spirit
in the senates railroad legislation, Is al
ready identified with one law whose pro-
visions indicate his attitude toward the
problem The Elkins law was enacted in
1903 at the instance Of the public and the
railroads to correct defects in the inter-
state commerce act of 1887 and especially
to stop rate cutting.
The statute provides that Whenever the
interstate commerce commission shall
have reasonable ground for belief that
the published schedule is violated or that
"any determinations forbidden by law
are being committed it may petition any
circuit judge for an injunction prohibit
ing the practice. The trouble is that only
Determinations forbidden by law" are
touched by the new statute, and the con-
fessed inlperfections of the act of 1887 re-
main. So many of the determinations
which the public felt to be abuses con-
tinue to flourish.
Furthermore, the provision putting the
administrative work on the circuit courts
failed to insure the prompt relief desired.
To be sure, the shipper may sue for dam
ages If the railroad rate Is finally held to
be excessive, brt meanwhile his business
is apt 10 go to pieces. Experience has
sufficiently shown that the remedy for an
unfair rate is not TO continue it in effect
and allow u suit for damages, but to sub
stitute a reasonable charge at once.
In short, the E.hins law defines the po-
siiion of its author in favor Of the ex-
IRENE let alone policy for the railroads
which would shear the interstate COM
naefce commission OF all real authority
and would cave the shipper with only
such redress as the Slow process of the
courts at present afford. This would be
all very well if the public WAS satisfied
with existing TRANSPORTATION conditions;
but, granted that tae nation is discomfort
ed with them, it is not apparent that
any remedy in line with the Eilzins law
would eise rslief-

"McCurdyisn" and "To McCurdy.p
One OF MY most valued and highly
cultivated friends, Hon. Walter Will
lams, editor of the Columbia Herald
who bids fair to be governor of Mis-
souri, insists that 'buttinsky" is a
word of such force and fitness that it
ought to be included in all our diction-
aries. | am rather inclined to think
him right in his contention, but I wish
to call his attention and the attention
of photographers generally to the pos
sibilities and capabilities of another
word, and that surname McCurdy."
At the present time it is a proper
name, though lately it has been put
to basest uses uses which consign the
head of the Mutual Life Insurance
company to perpetual company with
Dick Turpin, Robin Hood and Paul
Clifford Indeed, I beg the pardon OF
those illustrious outlaws, for they did
exhibit the almost universal virtue of
physical courage. which McCurdy pere
and McCurdy fills did not do. From the
name McCurdy, hitherto held to be an
honorable one. might be derived the
noun ..Mccurdyism, meaning the rob
berry of ones wards or clients on a
huge scale: also the verb ito Me-
Curdy,'' meaning robbery for the bene-
fit of ones family. It would be a
much stronger word than nepotism.
Therefore | do hereby and herein
nominate the words .McCurdyism
and ito McCurdy' for places in the
dictionaries. They will fill long felt
want, just as .'buttinsky" will.
