ON The RATE Law
KANSAS SENATOR DISCUSSES
THE QUESTION.
RIGHT VIEWS OF THE PRESIDENT
Speaker Says that Congress Will Do
Well to Walk Straight>way in the
Pathway Marked Out by the Chief
Executive.

KANSAS CITY, Mo.-Chester I.
Long. United States senator from
Kansas. was the principal speaker
Wednesday night at dinner given by
the knife and Fork club of this city.
Senator Long discussed the subject
Proposed Rate Legislation" and gave
his views respecting all the plans sub
mitted this tar for the solution of
the question.
Senator Long spoke in part as fol-
lows:
Railroads are private property In
the sense that individuals own their
stocks and bonds. but they are public
property in the sense that they have
a duty to perform in relation to the
public. They can be regulated and
controlled by law.
DETERMINATIONS between individ-
uals should cease Determinations be-
tween localities must be only those
that are due to natural advantages
which one city has over another and
to competition that may exist at one
place and not at another.
THE responsibility rests upon con-
gress to frame a bill that will meet
the situation and prove effective
when administered. 1t is a great re-
sponsibility. The power of the rail-
roads to fix rates is almost equal to
the power of taxation. The unre-
stricted exercise of this great power
menaces the rights and liberties of
the public. Congress has the unques-
toned power to regulate and super
wise the making of interstate rates,
and it should exercise more of its
power so that the carrier may be COM
PEELED to treat the public with exact
and even-handed justice. Any at
tempt under the guise of regulation
to compel the carrier to transport
property at rate so low that it will
not produce a fair return on the in
vestment will be declared invalid by
the courts. Thus there is no danger
to the carriers in a bad, vicious and
unfair law, but the injury will be to
the shipper and the public by attempt
ing to provide them relief through a
law that will be declared illegal and
void.
Congress-, in considering this ques-
ton. should determine it not alone in
the interest of the carrier and the
shipper, but in its relations to the
public as well. President Roosevelt,
in his last great message, suggests
the true course to take, and congress
will do well if it walks in the path
way which he has there marked out" !"

MECHANICS PAVILION, SAN
FRANCISCO. Cal.-Robert Fitzsim-

thirteenth round of his fight with Jack
O'Brien. He had fought hard. but ma
ture could no longer stand the strain

the close of the thirteenth round he
walked to his corner and sat In his
chair. Then his head fell on his
breast. his whole body collapsed and
the fighting wonder Of the age was
"all in" Referee Graney saw his
condition awarded the fight to O'Brien.
While punched in the face and badly
cut and several times in Jeopardy,
Fitzsimmons always managed to come
to and resume the fight. Just at the
close of the thirteenth round he land
ed a left on O'Brien's stomach. but
the Philadelphian came back with
similar blow and followed it with a
left to the jaw. The gong rang for

few minutes and with the assistance
Of his seconds was able to leave the

of his misspent blows.
"O'Brien would straighten up and
dash in a wicked cutting left, which.
while not possessing knOckdOwn force,
was sufficient to jar the old gladiator.
FitzsimmOns had the sympathy of the
enormous crowd. which jeered and
Kissed O'Brien when he ducked and
ran away. But the Philadelphia man
had laid out his plan of battle and
could not be coerced into mixing
things with the old fighter, who was
known to possess dangerous punch.
Before Fitz left the ring he made
little speech in which he said that
he had done his best. He said he had
fought his last fight"
