Spanked Roosevelt

To Mrs. Emma Kirchner, of Belle
Vile. suburb OF st. Louis, belongs
the distinction Of being probably the
only person who ever spanked Theo-
dore Roosevelt. The story was only
made known the other day. He was
seven years old. The Roosevelt fam
lily was at Sycamore Hill. The fam
lily OF Louis Hinckley was also at Oy-

the Hinckley family. Teddy had

the Hinckley stronghold with mud

AVOID PARENTHOOD
Woman Delegates Take Issue
With Mr.. Roosevelt

WASHINGTON, April 12-Amend-
ments to their constitution increasing
representation in the executive session
as well as in the triennial session were
adopted by the National Council of
Women today. Miss Susan B. Anthony
was designated founder of the Inter
national and National Council of
Women.
Mrs. Elizabeth B. MCGOWAN of Buff
falo,, in presenting the report of the
National Catholic Benevolent associa-
ton, said that in twenty-eight states
the association has a total member
ship of 100000 persons and $4,000, 600
has been paid to beneficiaries.
The work of the National Council of
Jewish Women was detailed by Miss
Sadie American of New York. A de-
fense of war was made by Mrs. Belinda
S. Bailey of California, who submit
ted the report of the Ladies Of the
Grand Army Of the Republic

Mrs. Kate Waller Barrett told of the
work of the Florence Crittenden mis-
sion. She believed that the time would
come when there would be no white
slave traffic.
Some of the prominent delegates
took issue with President Roosevelt
and said he should look to the women
of his own social set for race suicide.
1T is the pace set by our society

one of the delegates declared, which
makes race suicide a subject for pro-

CHICAGO, April 12.-"Railroad rate
legislation" was the subject for dis
cussion at the annual spring meeting
of the Union League club which was
held tonight. The speakers were George
r. Peck, general counsel for the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad;
c. A. Prouty, interstate commerce COM
missioner, and Judge Peter S. Grosscup
of the federal court.
Commissioner Prouty asserted that
there had been great discrimination
practiced by the railroads in making
rates to shippers, and the greater part
of this discrimination had been effect
ed by the rebate system. Some prog
ress had been made toward the eradi-
cation Of the evil, but there must be
an amendment to the present law, and
it must include the private car lines,
the terminal railroads and the eleva-
tors. He declared that six railroad
systems had control of 55 per cent of
the total mileage and two-thirds of
the gross receipts from traffic through
out the country, and that they were
practically a monopoly A railroad
monopoly, he said, was the most in
citizens of tins country could have to
contend with.
Presented Railroad Side
Mr. Peck thus discussed the other
side of the proposition:
Questions of human conduct have from
the dawn of civilization occupied the
minds of thinkers. of students and of law
makers. What policies should be pre-
scribed and enforced in respect to the re-
lations which men bear to each other has
always been difficult, sometimes an in
soluble problem. AS society grows more
complex and artificial the difficulties in
crease, while at the same time the de-
mand for their solution becomes more i'm
peratiVe and ineXorable.
There is nothing more alluring to the
well intentioned mind Of a patriotic citi
zen. than to be shown wrong, real or
imaginary, and remedy, made to order
or kept in stock, in that great factory
which gives its annual output to all who
seek. to all who need, and to all who
think they need.
The marvellous progress, the unparal-
leled growth of the United States, has not
been the result of government by commits
sions and bureaus but of the action and
counteTaction of commercial forces which,
under economic. laws have worked out
and always will work out, he true solution
of the problem.

Of governmental policy are to be de-
termined.
Stripped of its non essentials, what is
the question presented tonight? Is it re-
bates or determinations? No. Confess
edly they are things of the past, and be-
sides the recent bill, and the agitation of
the rate question, involve only the ques-
tion of making rates. But it is easy to
talk of rebates. when nobody is asking for
legislation against rebates; ii is easy to
talk of obsolete and abandoned evil as
If it still stalked abroad. 1t is dead, and
take the liberty of saying what every
member of the interstate commerce COM
mission knows, the railways were never
wholly responsible for it. They were not
to. The chairman of the interstate COM
merce commission in 1903 stated to COM
mittee of the senate that rebates had
practically ceased to exist, and it is within
the common knowledge of shippers and of
the railways that rebates are no longer
paid. Bear in mind. giving preference to
one shipper over another is not illegal at
common law.
Founded on Preferences
Competition is the one thing favored.
and competition never gave equal advan-
tages to all. Its very foundation is in
preferences. The anomaly of the present
situation is that the law requires com
petition and prohibits the steps necessary
to procure it. If railways compete they
are seized by the interstate commerce
law-if they do not compete they fall into
the hands of the antitrust law. The re-
ductio ad absurdum is; that therefore
the interstate commerce commission
should make rates.
The power to determine the reason
ableness of an existing rate is purely ju-
dicial. The power to fix a rate for the
future is purely legislative. The power
to prosecute, and send out secret service
agents is purely executive. Thus We have
in the interstate commerce commission,
and in the commission proposed by the
Esch- Townsend bill a consolidation of the
three great organic powers established by
the constitution; legislative, judicial and
executive.
1 do not now discuss the question
whether all these powers can be constitu-
tionally vested in one tribunal; the i'm
portant question is, whether they ought
to be. Should the prosecutor be also the
judge and eXecutioner. in a civilized gov
ernment? That is precisely the power
the interstate commerce commission as
sumes, and seeks to have strengthened
and enlarged. 1t prosecutes cases; it de-
cides cases; it appeals cases and appears
from term to term as a litigant in the
courts of the United States. 1t is an IL
logical system; not adapted to the secur-
ing of justice, but skillfully contrived to
