RATE REFORM.

The effect of broad review" says Senator Rayner, "is after the commis- sion has settled case the whole question is left open for adjustment in court. It transfers the whole contro- yersy to the courts and renders the commission. powerless to fulfill the function contemplated for it. I un- dertake to say that, under this amend ment of the Senator from Iowa, the courts will have the right to try the entire case irrespective of the inter- state commerce commission"
 And what is more significant is the added sentiment: T congratulate every railroad president and every railroad attorney in the land upon the great triumph they have gained"
 If President Roosevelt had been from the very outset the worst enemy of the reform" he so spectaculariy waged he could not have better accom- plished the purpose of the railroads to render 1t abortive and lifeless. In one sense he has been the "reform's' worst enemy. If his friendship itself for an effective rate measure was not the fatal element, certainly he be. friended it only to ruin it.
 The sum total of MT. Roosevelt's remarkable exploitation of an issue against the railroads is measure about to be enacted in law which will do no more than precipitate useless and vexatious litigation, and in real l ity leaves the railroads in a position of greater security than ever they en joyed before he undertook to interest himself on behalf of the shippers and the public. The railroads regard the result as considerably heightening their immunity from legislative at tack. Public opinions demand and 1 the legislative response have expo1d ed themselves, and the outcome is practically nil The railroads rejoice in the belief that public opinion and legislative purpose are exhausted and will remain exhausted for some time ! to come
 But the political effect-wita whicf the railroads do not choose now tc reckon. preferring to cross their bridg es when they get to them-is bound to be great from vast and conspic uous republican legislative surren der to the powers that be, the inter ests which compel protection. the in terests which own the republican
 party and control the Senate. N T f,.FTfse ~pelitical effect must be gfea from surrender led by the very pres

Roosevelt. who at the beginning of the present session of Congress, attempted to ride out of of fee on the crest of the wave of pop ular public opinion, has proven, iD truth, the commonest clay, and has exposed himself to the country as a weak and vaccilating official, who in his extremity must resort to quarrels with Senators, where the word liar is freely passed.

OPERATION AVOIDED
EXPERIENCE OF MISS MERKLEY
She Was Told That an Operation Was Inevitable. How She Escaped It.

When physician tells a woman suf- fering with serious feminine trouble that an operation is necessary, the very thought of the knife and the operating table strikes terror to her heart, and our hospitals are full of women coming for just such operations.

bleeding as l was, but from a slight
wound only.

"Who are these men, and what business
carries you amongst them?"
THAT you'll learn when you open the
papers. Did you hear him ask me to sail

for sleep, and too tired to think more Of
the strange dream-like scene l had wit

room and had yet a word to say.
Before we part | want to ask you
to do me yet one more service. Your yacht
is at Calais. VIII you go aboard this
morning and take her round to Plymouth
There ask for news of the American 8
yacht-he has only hired her, and she is
called La France. News of the yacht
will be news of me, and | shall be glad
to think that someone is at my back in
this big risk. If you should not hear of
me, wait month but if you get definite
proof of my DEATH break the seal of the

SO saying, he left me with a hearty
handshake. Poor fellow, I did not know
then that l should break the seal of his
papers within three days.
