The people of Missouri are not deeply
interested in the triumph Of either the Ram
sey or the Gould factions, but they are in
terested in the things that Mr.. Gould and
Mr.. Ramsey have been doing with the rail-
roads in Missouri and with the laws of Mis-
souri,; they are interested in what the win
ners of this contest may do hereafter with
Missouri railroads and laws. Judge Taylor's
significant statement that the record is "re
plete with evidence of violations of the Mis-
souri, laws is Of great Importance to the
people OF the state. 1t has deep interest
for Attorney General Hadley who represents

or management of parallel and competing

Jones and Nicholas Biddle OF the Randolph.
There Is an appearance OF Rooseveltian
strenuousness In the Understanding ocean
race In which the president will try the
mettle of the three great cruisers that will
be under his command as soon as no goes
on board. But as commander-in-ch of the
navy 1t is part Of his duty to find out for
himself OF what stuff our boats are made.
Throughout the voyage the president will be
constructively within the limits OF the United
States,for he will have an American deck
under his feet and the American flag above
MIN all the time. Rough seas and a speedy
trip to the commander-in-chef on bis initial
voyage! Everybody will wish the cruiser that
carries him may win the race

WHEN THE PRESIDENT TRAVELS

The New York Sun suggests that congress
hould supply the president with special trair
o be maintained at government expense. TIL
Columbus Press-Post treats the suggestion in
ather facetious vein.
Considerable discussion is being carried
on concerning who shall pay for the special
train which will convey the president south
By all means let Uncle Sam pay the expense
OF the trip, and thus relieve Mr. Roosevelt
from any obligation to the railroad corpora
tions The people of this country are often
anxious to entertain the president, and why
should not they make it possible for him to
travel independent of any railroad monopoly?
Uncle Sam is richer than any corporation
Why then should the president be forced to
accept favors from the very people whom he
will ask congress to investigate? The natural
man does not wish to accept favors from
those whose business methods he feels called
upon to question. And it is certainly not con-
nation to beg favors from interested corpora
tions. Let the country build presidential
train and let Uncle Sam invite Mr. Roose-
welt to get aboard and visit the people of the
country whenever he sees fit. Let him en-
joy himself to the full limit of his strenuosity
and when he returns, let him be soon con-
vnced of the superiority of the independence
of the peoples train over the private car of
some railroad magnate, that he will blaze
away at the crooked corporations without
fearing to hurt those whose favors he has
accepted. Build the train now! Get 1t into
good running order for the democratic presi-
dent who will board 1t in 1908.

RAILWAY REGULATION

The Kansas City Times predicts that the
in his next message to congress will
point out the speciousness and utter fallacy OF
the railway Arguments against railway regula-
ton. This will be interesting indeed to those
who think that the president has been rather un-
certain in his views as to just what measures
should be taken to secure national regulation OF
President Roosevelt has received album
dant assurances of popular support for his
railway policy, but he also knows that the
railways have been making a systematic
canvass, through various devices for reach
ing the people, against this policy. 1t is said
that he will meet this vOlumnous propaganda
by making the subject of rate regulation
the leading topic of his forthcoming message
to congress and that he will place before the
readers of the whole country the specious-
ness and the utter fallacy OF the railway argu-
ments. The president will have the advant-
age Of reaching the people openly and frank
" and through the medium of a state paper
for which every public spirited man in the
county, will wit with interest, while great
deal Of tn ilway matter circulated must
necessarily 1e cassed as dry reading"
There is particular significance in the method
employed by the railway corporations in this
instance. They recognize the power OF pub
lie sentiment they have never recognized
1t before. They know that tLey cannot carry
out their policy against the restoration OF
the rate-adjusting perogatives Of the inter-
state commerce commission unless they get
some public sentiment to help them out.
Therefore, they have adopted the plan OF
conducting a campaign of education" They
have enlisted some plausible writer's and
some eloquent spokesman to oppose the presi-
dent and to twist the presidents own record
on this subject Now the significance OF this
method lies in the fact that ordinarily the
railroads would not have troubled them
selves much about the people. They would
have relied solely on their representatives
In the United States senate.

Most people are apt to forget that the presl

as of the army. Attention Is called to this fac
by the st. Louis Republic:

be his return from New Orleans to Hampton
Roads In command of a fleet OF armored

Professor Ripley of Harvard denies the
statement SO freely and confidently made by
James ]. Hill and other railroad managers
that freight rates have steadily declined for
twenty years. Rates, he says, did decline
about the time when the supreme court took
from the interstate commerce commission the
power to enforce it's DEGREES, but for the past
six years there has been steady increase
This increase, he asserts, has been confined
to rates in localities or on articles which
were not subject to competition. On the art
icles which have been raised, the increase
has been about 80 per cent while the general
level of rates has been raised per cent. 1t
is significant that the period Of the general
rise in rates has correspondent with the
period of great consultations OF railroads,
showing that the movement for mergers was
not altogether in the interest of more econ
omical management, but also laid the found
alton for an increase in the tariffs. This, of
course was the most natural inference from
the anxiety OF the trunk lines to consolidate
their interests, and although the railroad
men strenuously denied any such intention,
the significant fact remains that consolida-
ton and rate-raising are contemporary and

Furthermore, the provision putting the
administrative work on the circuit courts
failed to insure the prompt relief desired.
To be sure. the shipper may sue for dam

be excessive. But meanwhile his business
