FORAKER CHAMPION
OF ANTERATE HOST
Steps Ont TO Lead Fight on
Regulation Bill.
TO BATTLE TO LAST DITCH
Any Bill Getting His Consent VIII Be
Harmless, Ineffective, Compromise
Measure, He Promises.

Senator Foraker in his tilt with SEN
ator Tillman yesterday formally as
sumed his duties as leader of the anti
rate regulation contingent in the upper
chamber.
Mr.. Foraker in his attack on rail-
road rate measure introduced by Sen
ator Tillman ''unqualifiedly." as he
himself admitted. declared that he
would fight any plan. or any attempt
TO pass a railroad rate bill by which
Congress would delegate authority to
fix definitely a reasonable" rate for
carrying on interstate commerce.
II hold that Congress has no right
TO delegate such power TO any commits
sion he said. that it is unconstitu-
tional. and neither Congress nor any
definitely and unqualihadly TO establish
schedule of rates. for railroads or
other freight carrying concerns
His Aides.
Allied with Senator Foraker in the
anti-rate fight will probably be Senators
Elkins and Aldrich. on the Republican
sire. and McLaurin. Carmack, Foster
and Newlands on the Democratic side.
Elkins or Aldrich. by virtue of senior
ity. would lead the fight. They recog-
nize in Foraker. however, an ability
TO drive home the arguments most
forcfbly and are willing to concede to
him the honor of leadership
Not one of the Senators on the Inter
state Commerce Committee will doubt
Forakers qualification to expound con-
subject much thought and attention. He
himself declares that he has given the
subject much thought and attention. He
SAYS he is forced TO take this stand in
view of the opinions on rate questions
handed down by the highest courts.
The bill introduced by Senator TIL
man is exclusively railroad bill. Mr.
Tillman does not treat commerce on
water. Why. is not generally known
Senator Foraker, in the course Of
the debate. asked Tillman If the South
Carolinian understood the law to have
been sufficiently broad heretofore to
deal successfully with rebating on
freight shipped by large jobbers.

some jointure, his town house and everything

twenty-five years old and more beautiful than

nearly eighty years ago in a London bank. where
they have lain unopened ever since. The per-
mission to examine and publish them which
has so long been refused has now been granted
by the King a matter Of justice to the widow S
memory, and the originals have been placed by
him in the archives at Windsor. They include
the marriage certificate: a will written by the
Prince and a letter in his hand relating to the
marriage; the mortgage on the palace at
Brighton which assured his wife's income, and
a memorandum written by Mrs. FitZherbert and
attached to letter written by the clergyman
who performed the marriage ceremony. They
show beyond question that economically if lille

The daughter of two ancient Roman Catholic
families of distinction, Maria Smythe inherited
not only personal refinement and very great
beauty but the faith which brought unavoidable
complications into the matter of her marriage.
She was educated at a convent in Paris. and
one of the "reminiscences of her girIhood was of
being taken to Versailles to see Louis XIV dine
in public. Her sense of humor was so stirred
by the manner in which the King pulled
chicken to pieces with his fingers that she
laughed aloud. breaking the strictly enjoined
silence. The Kings response to the laugh was
not an order of ejectment, but the gift of
dish OF sugar plums to the little English Golden
hair Her education completed, she returned to
her quiet Hampshire home, and it was not long
before reports of her marvellous beauty erept
about in the Roman Catholic society of her time.
She was then in the first blush of her loneliness

so affected the sutton the young Duke of Bed

At this moment appeared Prince Charming and
Maria Fftzherbert's days of trouble began.
For the young George, Prince Of Wales, our
author has not a little Ienient feeling. He

heartedness and generosity, his gayety and de-
lightful manners, his good looks and other
pleasant qualities:

much of this to a bad bringing up, a boyhood

When at twenty-one George caught sight of

There is no doubt that his love for her was
deep and genuine and that it was the great
passion of his life She was in truth the only
woman he ever loved" So writes the author of
this book concerning the sentiments which the
Elegant Prince Florizel (afterward George IV)
entertained for the lovely Maria Fitzherbert
No doubt those sentiments were sincere-after
fashion-but, alas for the lady, what a strange
fashion,
1t is to the chivalry and unfailing good sense
of the present King of England that we owe this

than a century has been the subject of mystery,
distortion and misinterpretation. The sealed

A SONG.
BY MATTHEW PRIOR

IN vain You tell your parting Lover,
You wish fair Winds may watt Him over.
AlasI what Winds can happy prove,
That bear Me far from what / love?
Alas! what Dangers on the Main
Can equal Those that / sustain.
From sighted Vows. and cold Disdain?
Be gentle and in Pity choose
To wish the widest Tempest loose;
That thrown again upon the Coast
Where first my Shipwrack Heart was lost,
I may once more repeat my Pain;
Once more in dying Notes complain
OF sighted Vows. and cold Disdain.

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 3. 1905.

The recent publication of book for children
under ninety" brings to mind a dilemma in
which authors often find themselves How,
without much explanation, is it to be made plain
that a book is addressed with perfect reason
abenesS both to the infantle and to the mature
mind? Take, for example, ''Ihe Story of Noah's
Ark" by Mr.. e. Boyd Smith, which Houghton,
Miff1in & Co. have just brought out as a holiday
book 1t is one of those familiar oblong quartos
In which each illustration, printed in colors, oc-
cupies an entire page, and has facing it bit OF
rhyme or prose. Children will shrek with laugh
ter over Mr. Smiths quantity pictured animals,
yet there are qualities in the book to make their
elders chuckIe with even keener apprecIa-
ton. 1t would be mistake to leave this Tor
ever in the nursery, but We suppose the reader
would balk at the suggestion that he tie it up IN
pink ribbons and send it to his grandfather.
People are apt to have cut and dried ideas in
these matters. But the history of Alice In
Wonderland" alone is enough to prove that So
called juvenIia occasionally will take rank along
with the books of every character meant for
readers of any age. Books of the sort must,
however have time to make their way. At the
outset the author never knows whether he IS
going to bring down young and old with one
shot.

4 phase of plagiarism that venerable
theme, is glanced at with an engaging fresh
ness by Mr.. Brander Matthews in 'Scribners."
IN a brief essay, ''OId Friends with New Faces"
lie shows how the same idea has served the
purposes of more. than one writer. Thus he
finds a precedent for the last words of Colonel
NeYcome in a wGrd which Cooper put into the
mouth of Natty Bumpp0, and points out that
Cooper or Thacleray, has been echoed by the
late Sir Walter Besant ard by Mr.. KipIing
but with these and other illustrations he easily
proves that it would take a silly critic to cry
Plagiarism when an artist Of the first rank re-
JsaatS an old idea, whether consciously or I'M
consciously. He quotes Gcethes saying on
SCOTS appropriation of a scene from "Eg-
mcnt' for one of the Wayerley novels-"He
had Il right to do so : and because he did il well.
he deserves praise" The point is clear. Genius
may borrow or repeat, for genius always does
the trick after Il fashion of its own. Mr.. Mat
thcgvS amuSingly speculateS to what might
lsara been made of the central motive Of Romeo
and Juliet by DcfOe, say, or Richardson, or
Fielding or SteTne He admits that such specu-
la:ipn is idle, but ut least it leads TO the cnch
ing reflection that any novelist OF individuality
who had chosen ShakesFeare.s theme would
have made ii his own. and would have seEt it
forth stamped with his own image and super
saription."
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1905-12-03

It is always interesting to observe the muta-
tons of fashion in fiction. The world is full or
short stories but, numerous as they are, they IL
luStrate clearly defined and restricted lines OF
endeavor. At the present moment three motives
seem to be popular. There is the story of the
past which might fairly be described as cos
tune romance; there is the story of crime and
its detection; and there is the story which may
treat Of love, politics or adventure, but is in
any case certain to rest its claim on its pres
erYation of the atmosphere of some section of
the United States These examples of local
color are, in fact, the chief resource Of most
of the magazines. We are not sorry, for they
have more truth in them, more human nature,
than YOU will find in the average costume or
criminal piece. Furthermore, they represent
movement older in this country than any other,
one more distinctly American. Indeed, We fear
that some Of our clever youngsters and their
drumbeaters are apt to forget that the thing
they are doing was DONE and done wet, some
years ago by divers accomplished authors. Con-
slider, for example, the work Of Sara Orne
Jewett. When she published "The Tory
Lover" not so very long ago, the public had be-
gun to get tired of historical novels, and so the
book met with less than its just deserts; but in
her many stories of New-England life Miss
Jewett showed a grasp Of her subject and an
original charm, which might well be commended
20 the notice of those beginners who are now
being exploited with so much energy. Miss
Jcwett forms one Of a group whose Importance
ought not to be overshadowed by the passing
vogue of new writers, be tie latter never so
clever.

IONA KIND TO CRIMINALS.
Treats them Better than Any Other
State.

1t may not be known to all the people
Of the state, but Iowa treats it's crimi-
nails the best Of all the states in the
union, according at least to the late
Mrs. Maude Ballington Booth, says the
Marshalltown Times-Repuplican. She
visited perhaps as many state peniten-
tiaries as any person and made the
statement at one time after visit to
the Anamosa penitentiary when pris-
oner was being discharged at the expi-
ration Of his term. Iowa gives every
discharged prisoner new tailormade
suit Of clothes and IS and if it is winter
time gives him also an overcoat. Many
Of the eastern institutions preserve the
suit man has when he enters the in
stitution and when he is discharged re-
turns to him his old clothes. Many Of
them give man but $1.00. But it is
principally in other respects that Iowa
is ahead Of eastern institutions. Many
Of the eastern prisons have the rack
and screw and hold to it tenaciously as
the only means Of dealing with crimi-
nails who will mot submit to the prison
rules.
An eastern prison official on one oc-
casion when he was in Iowa described
the fortunes Of the rack and screw
while arguing for them. He said at the
end OF tho first thirty seconds in the
rack man is mad; at. the end Of the
next thirty he is scared; at the end of a
minute and half he begs for mercy
and "at the end Of two minutes he knows
there is God in Israel" While the
aim and idea Of most of the eastern in.
situations is to punish and take out Of
circulation the criminal the entire idea
in Iowa is TO give every possible chance
lat reformation The prisoners are
graded according to their conduct anc
| there are very few in the lower grades
in the penitentiaries.
! Eastern institutions are endeavorins
Ito secure men who are at the head o
the Iowa institutions. Many Of the
|
specialists in the hospitals and othel
institutions are having offers EXTENDED
to them by both private and public in
situations in the east. The offer to DR.
Wherry Of Clarinda is from private in
stitution in New York, for the treat
ment Of epileptics. These private insti
tutions charge $50 and 500 a month fo
the treatment of patients, while in tin
state institutions of Iowa the charge i
S12a month. For this reason the pr
vate institutions do not have grea
many patients and are not always sue
fcessful- Specialists in state Institution
are slow therefore to leave positio
under the civil service in Iowa for sue
aposition.

PREPARE FOR APPEAL.
Shiloh Veterans Get Data Ready to
Submit to Higher Author
tiles,

James W. Carson, OF WOODBURY., and
Captain John Hayes, OF Red Oak, who
are the members Of the Iowa Shiloh
commission representing the Fifteenth
and Sixteenth Iowa regiments, which
were in conference with Governor Cum
Minis yesterday with reference to the
appeal which has been taken from the
decision Of the acting secretary Of war
to Judge Taft personally by Governor
Cummins, who seeks justice for the two
regiments referred to from the national
commission, says the Register and
Leader.
Governor Cummins notified the inter
ested officials at Washington, whom
there recently, that he proposed to keep
on appealing the case till he found q
fair ju'ge-that is, a Judge who would
decide for Iowa soldiers.
And the members OF the commission
in conference with him yesterday de-
clared that they would be opposed to
dedicating any Iowa monuments at the
battlefield which falsity the record, as
it it proposed to the Fifteenth and Six
teenth Iowa.
Indeed, it is likely that all Of the
Iowa veterans will join in q protest
against dedication of the Iowa monu,
ments on the Shiloh field unless justice
is done the two regiments referred to
The monument would be better removed
to this state and dedicated here, in the
ju lgment Of many Of the old soldiers.

Three Times Is Sufficient.

Bank, to a representative of the Star
Enterprise, Of Alton, land find that the
man who sends away for his first order
is likely to return before long and order
a second time. Some come back third
time and send their money to the mail
order houses, but it is rare thing when
anyone sends the fourth time. / guess
by that time their experience has cost
them enough and they are ready to quit"
That some such state Of affairs exists
there is no reason to doubt. Afew trial
orders sent to the catalogue houses usu-
ally opens the eyes Of the most enthusi-
astic and the scheme no longer possess
es the glamor and glare bound to attach
to new convert just through reading
enc OF their catalogues.
| 1t is not hard to find instances where
the customer has met with long and vex-
atious delays that have caused him to
lose not only his temper, but large
share Of his faith in humanity. Last
summer about the time the oats became
ripe two farmers in Union county sent
away for their binding Irvine. They
sent the order forward in plenty of time
for it to be filed and for the goods to
reach them before harvest commenced.
In one case the Irvine arrived late in
September, while in the other case the
service was not much more satisfactory.
1t is safe to say that there is not a
merchant who adtertises and who is
determined to get business who will not
meet any catalogue price on any article
handled by him. The business men
have sent away for catalogues from the
mail order houses. They are studying
the contents and are becoming thorough

in what way the quality and price differs
from that which they have on their
