demand Of their representatives in
congress that they adopt legislation in
accordance with the proposition laid
down by President Roosevelt in his an
nual message to congress. And in this
connection it is immensely important
that the public should keep in mind
just exactly what the President did
say upon this subject. The Presi-
dents exact language was as follows:
The interstate commerce commits
sion should be vested with the power,
where a given rate has been chal-
lenged and after full hearing found to
be unreasonable, to decide, subject to
Judicial review what shall be reason
able rate to take it's place; the ruling
of the commission to take effect i'm
mediately, and to obtain, unless and
until it is reversed by the court Of re-
view
1t will be noted that this recon-
mendation of President Roosevelt
does not suggest or call for any gen
eral rate making power that is to start
on Its own initiative and attempt to
do the work for the railway traffic
managers. The Presidents sugges-
ton calls for authority to be vested in
q governmental commission to decide
after full hearing when a rate has
f1rst been challenged, whether or not
that rate is unreasonable, and if so,
what shall be a reasonable rate to
take It's place. Then this government.
al commission is to have authority to
enforce the rate which it has named.
But even yet the railroads or the peo-
pie il they feel that the decision of the
commission is not right, have recourse
to the courts where the whole matter
is subject to judicial review. This is
what the President recommends. this
is what the people demand and it was
the proposition to enact this principle
into the national law that the people
applauded in Mr.. LaFollette's speech.
Governor LaFollette comes from
Wisconsin. Conditions in Wisconsin
are far different from conditions in
Iowa. In fact. the people in Wiscon.
sin so far as state railway regulation
and control are concerned have Just
fought out the battle that was success
fully won by the people of Iowa in
1855. Governor LaFollette has borne
the brunt of that battle in Wisconsin
and it would not be human nature II
he did not feel the sting of the blows
which he has received. But in coming
into Iowa, Governor LaFollette should
remember that Iowa was the first OF
the western states to settle this ques
ton; that Iowa has settled it and that
there Is no occasion or demand for q
stirring up of the railroad question in
Iowa SO far as state control and regu
lation is concerned The principles
which Governor LaFollette laid dowr
as basic and which he said the people
should stand for and demand of theil
representatives in congress are iden
tically the principles which have al
ready been placed upon the statute
books of Iowa and which the people Of
Iowa do stand for, are demanding o.
congress and which, notwithstanding
some intimations on the part of Gov
ernor LaFollette to the contrary
Iowa's representatives in congress
fboth in the house and the senate, have
stood for as the official records will
show, do today stand for and will d.
all in their power to bring about.

LOOMS NAY GO TO JAPAN.
Rumor That He Is To Be appointed
ambassador.
LrRoAI rHR rR1nr-NE RuRkAr.l

Washington. July 12.-There is a report in
Washington this evening that Francis B.
Loomis. Assistant Secretary of State, is 10 be
appointed Ambassador to Japan. although no
satisfactory foundation for the rumor be
found. 1t has been for several days rumored
that Lloyd c. Griscom. Minister to Japan,
is to succeed Mr.. Loomis in the State Depart
ment, but no one could be found with definite
information the subject. and as there was
no indication of the probable disposition of Mr..
Loomis. the story discredited in official
circles. Tonight however. the additional detail
is added that Mr. Loomis will probably be ap-
pointed Ambassador to Japan, and in this form
the report seems to command greater credence
although it is still impossible to trace ii to its
source, and officials of the State Department
deny having any knowledge of II.
The promotion of Mr.. Takahira the Japanese
Minister. to the rank of Amba ssador when the
peace negotiations completed has long been
regarded as probable which, of course, would
make il necessary 10 raise the diplomatic rep
resentatve of the United States at Toxic to the
same rank This probably strengthens the be-
lief that Minister Griscom will succeed Mr.
LoOmis here. II Is known that the President has
for some time expected TO appoint MI. Loomis
an Ambassador. and il is not believed that any
thing has happened to change his purpose

admiral BinIef.

St Petersburg. July 13.-The announcement
of the appointment of Vice-Admiral Birilef as
Minister of Marine in succession to Admiral
Avellan which is gazetted this morning, is
coupled with a rescript in which the Emperor
charges the new Minister not only with the
task of rebuilding the navy, but also with that
of reforming and reorganizing the whole sys-
tenn. The Minister is instructed to eradicate
the faults which have developed under the
stress of war. to remedy the conditions which
led TO the recent mutinies in the Black Sea,

The rescript says that defence is the
first and most sacred duty of the Ministry of
Marine. coming before the construction Of a
new navy.
Speaking of the "revolting events in the Black
Sea- the Emperor holds the officers and men Of
the fleet equally cuIpable. saying that these oc-
currences showed complete lack of discipline

VI. DELCASSE'S VIEWS.
German Menace Not Serious, He
-Bntain's Friendship.

Paris July 12-The former Foreign Minister.
NJ. Delcasse, in the course of an interview pub
lished by the "Gaulois' to-day on the British
and French naval amenities at Brest, was IN
duced to discuss his general policy relative 10
Great Britain and Germany. He said:
The policy OF nations nowadays is not based
on sentiment or antipathy, but on their materlat
interests. As between Germany and Great
Britain our commercial balance SHOWS WheIe
our interests lie Great Britain is our best pur-
chaser, while Germany buys almost hothihs
from and tries 70 sell us all she can More
over, II is evident that could not leave open
irritating controversies with Great Britain Wnlci
might precipitate an armed struggle 1of Ireat
Britain holds indisputably the empire or tne
seas. For every warship we build she oullds
four five. 1t is therefore well 10 accept these
manifest facts and consider the value which
British cooperation would give US IN certain
contingencies. The greatest intrinsic value OF
such cooperation would be the virtual tmpos-
sibility in which 1t would place Germany OF MAX
ing war upon us.
NJ. Delcasse was asked if he considered the
recent menaces in connection with Morocco as
serious. He replied:
Not at ALL In of war Great Britain
would be surely with US against Germany, and
then what would the infant fleet OF Germany
amount to-? What would become of her ports?
OF her commerce? OF her merchant marine!
1t would mean annihilation. That is the real
significance of the present exchange of visits
of the British and French squadrons. An
understanding between these two powers ana
a coalition of their navies would create naval
machine powerful that neither Germany
nor any other power would risk conclusions
upon the sea. 1t is the sea which II is neces-
sary to command to-day, and the war in the
Far East has conclusively demonstrated that
NJ. Delcasse discussed the probable effect of
his policy If it had been pursued. saying:
The Anglo French cordial understanding was
an achievement toward definite understand
ing between Russia and Great Britain, AND
this further understanding would have beer
the work OF the French Minister for Foreign
Affairs. The success of such task would have
strengthened influence in British councils
and assured for long time the peace OF the
world.
In conclusion NJ. Delcass6 was asked for his
opinion of Frances accepting a conference on
Morocco to which he gave the following re-
sponse: ITO go to a conference is a mistake
and such mistake"
