Hill SnuhS Railroad Commission.

SEATTLE, Sept. 3o.-President j. j..

his journey to Portland. He stated
that it the commission had any BUSH
ness to act with his road it could

they could be handy should Mr.. Hill
express a desire to take up certain
matters In which his road was inter-
ested.
10 a speech delivered at the Rainier
club last night, Mr.. Hill paid his res.
poets to the interstate commerce COM
mission, saying that the coast states
were better off without it. He said
that the state of Washington was en-.
joying the lowest possible rates at the
present time, but that the government
regulation of rates would paralyze the
commerce of Washington. The Hill
party left for Tacoma without seeing

A FAIR Is p E
Splendid Display of Montana Farm and

HELENA, Oct. 2.-The opening of
Montana's third annual state fair to-
day was most suspicious. There was
a splendid first.day crowd, the weather
was almost ideal, and the races were
holly contested. While not all of the
exhibits we're in place, the most of
them were. and the fairs visitors
were a%greeably surprised at the states

Some of the exhibits did not arrive on
time and could not be put in place
ready for the inspection of the crowds
this morning, and with these the day
has been devoted to getting them ar.
ranged for the best effect, a small ar.
my OF men being engaged in the task.
The county exhibits and individual
fruit and grain exhibits are arranged
along three sides of the big building,
and every inch of space is taken.
Carbon and Cascade counties were
early in the completed stage and the
exhibits from these counties were sur.
rounded by groups all day long. In
the group of counties were Teton,
Broadwater, Valley, Lewis and Clark,
Meagher, Gallatin and Deer Lodge,
all nearing completion, and all offer

The People Know They Suffer.
Spokesman Review.

SPOKESMAN REVIEW.
When Andrew Squire, q Cleveland
lawyer, in his eulogy of John d.
Rockefeller said in regard to the
question of railroad rate legislation
that "the loudest declarations came
from those who knew the least about
the subject" he might have added, if
he sought to be perfectly truthful, that
they came from those who are the
direct sufferers from rate discrimina-
tons. 1t may be that hundreds OF
these have not the same familiarity
with all the ms and outs Of railroad
tariff sheets possessed by Stand ard
Oil and Corporation Attorney Squire,
but they do know that a great evil
exists, that they are the victims and
that a remedy can be found if sought
for in the right way and with the
backing of those who are in a posi-
ton to know all the technical peculi.
arities Of rates and rebates.
1t has been q favorite argument of
the railroad companies and those who
are in collision with them that the
public does not know what it is talk
ing about when demanding rate legis.
latiOn and that NO n but au expert
railroad nan can properly fix rates.
This means, OF course, as everybody
we'll knows, that only railroad men
would fix rates for the exclusive beue.
fit OF the railroads, and hence the
strenuous fight against remedial legis.

Railroads Say Tax Is Unjust.

The law permits the state to collec,

President Receives Ovation.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30 .-Thousands
Of his fellow citizens turned out to
welcome President Roosevelt to the
national capitol this evening and
made his home coming an occasion
for an ovation from the time he was
sighted on the platform of his car
until he passed within the doors of the
white house. There was no band of
music, but the sweeter melody of the
cheers of the assembled people made
the air ring with '%'hurrahs" as his
carriage passed slowly up the avenue.
The president was deeply touched by
the welcome and especially by its
spontaneity.
1T was awfully kind of them to
come out to greet me, he remarked TO
some friends ut the white house porte
cochere, "and | was deeply, deeply
touched by their welcome.'
The presidential train came into the
station at $40 o'clock. On the plat.
form were crowded about a dozen or
more persons. A mighty cheer went
up as the crowd inside the station
caught sight of the president, which
was taken up by the crowds outside of
the station and passed along the line
as the president was recognized. He
shook hands first with the cabinet
ministers and other officials, then,
giving Mrs. Roosevelt his arm, he
walked slowly to his carriage, which
was waiting at the Sixth street en-
trance. AS he reached the engine. the
president thanked the engineer for his
safe trip and stopped to shake his
hand.

Another trait of the Roosevelt char.
acter which commands the esteem OF
MS fellow citizens is the presidents
refusal to yield to the ''pull" which
many politicians of his party believed
they could exercise in matters affect.
ing the public service. An instance
OF this commendable departure from
inc usual custom appears in Mr..
R~oosevelt's controversy with Senator
Hepburn, OF Idaho, regarding forest
reserve matters in that state. 10 a
communication addressed to Senator
Hepburn, the president says:
"Now, when can properly pay
heed to political matters | will do SO.
but l will not for one minute consent
to sacrifice the interests of the people
as a whole to the interests OF any lin.
dividual Or any political faction"
That announcement will be a sur.
prise to politicians who believed the
president should consider the welfare
OF his party above that of the people,
but the latter will applaud the new
rule as a Roosevelt reform that is for
the best interests Of the community.
