Quick Things.

A flash Of light is not sluggish. sound
travels rapidly, bullet is no messenger
boy and an automobile which shoots a
mile in @s seconds is moving along, eer-
tainly. When it comes to getting over
the ground IN real hurry, however, TO
devouring distance i'll dead earnest, the
dreamer marches proudly at the head of
thep recession. He nsites the very latest
thing in the line Of $50 horse power rae.
ing cars look like hay carts in d mud
bank. a man sits in his chair after
dinner and dozes; he wakes with start
and discovers, TO his surprise, that he lost
consciousness for exactly three min
utes by the clock, yet in those three min
utes he iourneyed from New York to
Port Said, transferred himself to st.
Petersburg, loitered in Paris and Lon
don and sailed up the Nile. What is Of
greater Importance in this connection be
iouTneyed leisurely, almost indolently;
he stopped at VARIOUS points oil, inter.
est and examined them thoroughly; he
met with annoying and amusing ex-
periences on steamships and trains; he
talked with acquaintance whom he en-
countered Ia foreign lands, and he told
some OF them precisely what he thought
Of them--there was genuine pleasure in
that. A dreamer can put thousands and
thousands Of miles behind him in the
short space of three minutes and lazily
enjoy himself in his wandering. BY
comparison, the chauffeur, with his life
in his hands, is slow COACH; and he
must attend strictly to business; he can
engage IN no conversation or sight see
ing.
The humand mind is wonderful
vehicle. Some peeplc in speetacles have
analysed il and tidnk that they know
what it il aud whatit can do. But they
do not know and they never will know.

isrAFT ON RAILROAD PASSES

Secretary of War Taft, in recent
speech delivered at New Haven, Conn.,,
speaking of public officials accepting
and using passes, referring to their
/. use by judges of courts said:
1T is about as necessary that the
courts shall have reputation for jus.
tice as that they. shall mete it out.
This should lead. Judges not to re-
sceive railroad courtesies when those
giving them may become htigants in
their courts; for, no matter how wise
a decision may be rendered against a
party in litigation against a railroad,
the, defeated party will. never cease
to contend that he did not have
fair trial, This weakens the authority
and general standing of the court. !
The obligation of judges to avoid
even the appearance of evil is scarce
ly less than that resting on legisla-
lures and executives. 1t is highly i'm
proper that public officials should be
in any degree under obligations to
public service corporations as it
necessarily impairs their ability to
.impartially perform the duties Of
their office as between such public SER
vice. corporations and the public
whose necessities they are brought
into existence to serve. The making

AN UNQUALIFIED SURRENDER

~ :. . Ii
The unqualified and inexcusable
surrender of President Roosevelt,
wherein he not only accepts but cham
pions the railroad amendment to the
rate bill, lis a sad disappointment to
the millions who have been lead to
believe that in him the people had
found a deliverer from the despotism
of a constituencies political cabal, crea-
lures of the confederated brigands of
commerce.
The surrender is abject, and the ac-
companying explanation Apologize,
transparent and spineless, revealing
a new Roosevelt Invested of the ma
jestic and rugged outline in which
he was pictured in the minds of his
admirers. !.
The long drawn out controversy
over the question of court review
amendment has served to enlighten
the public as to the real animus of
the contention, and to familiarize
them with the strategic moves of the
opposing sides.
The railroad senators with great
shrewdness declined to meet the issue
squarely in a front to front encounter,
and adopted flank movement, by pro-
Tossing friendship for the avowed
purposes of the rate bill, and then
attacking it as being defective in a
way that would prove its own un-
doing in the courts unless remedied
by an amendment comforting jurisdic-
ton upon the circuit courts Of the
United States to review the commits
sion made rates.
That the. professions Of the railroad
senators should be taken seriously by
any friend of. rate regulation is
not to be supposed. Because If the
bill was defective in way that would
render it unconstitutional, the railroad
senators would find only amusement
in the farcical performances Of would
be reformers.
The fact that the republican sena-
tors almost to man owe their seats
to the influence of railroads and the
allied corporations, make it evident
that the protested friends of rate
