Penalties Are Extreme.

Discussing the penalties provided by the bill, he said they would amount to $50 GOO per month and declared that the penalties prescribed are of such extreme cumulative and burdensome character as to deter a carrier from resorting to the courts except only where either the case is entirely clear as to it's final outcome or the consequences of an obeyance Of the order are of such bankrupting character as to make impossible, with due regard for the rights of its creditors and stock holders, for 1t to submit
 MT. Foraker said that if the bill Is to become a law it should contain court review provision.
 He declared that little or no legislation is needed and that the Elkin's law slightly amended, is sufficient if enforced He pointed out that the Hepburn bill does not deal with rebates and prevent car riers from engaging in other kinds of bus mess and that it does not enforce uni form classification nor deal with discrim- ination as to localities. The Senator stated the bill had passed the House without amendment because as the newspapers announced, "the order had gone forth that while there might be debate no amendment--no matter how necessary 1t might appear-should be allowed. The bill came to the Senate. and. so far as the committee is concerned there has been a repetition of that experience, he said.

The whole proceeding ia without a precedent in my experience, and probably in the history of the nation. If we are to abdicate our functions and permit such an imperfect, ill-advised and ilI-considered bill to become law, dis credit will attach and disappointment will follow. not only to those who desire such Legislation as the House committee sus- gested, but to all the people,
 Mr. Foraker concluded:
 'It is not either easy or agreeable to differ with the President. He is the head for the time being not only of the na- ton. but also of the political party or which am proud to be a member. l be- lieve that the welfare of the nation Is most beneficially effected and promoted by the supremacy of the republican policy and on this account think every man who believes in the policies of that party should do all in his power to secure har- mony of purpose and unity of action among it's members with respect to na- tional affairs, In this behalf he should be willing to make concessions in minor matters. but when questions arise of such commanding importance as those now un- der consideration it Is the duty of every man who has an official responsibility to discharge with respect to them to make careful investigation and then act in accordance with the convictions he may reach as a result TO the pest ol my abiIity I have done that

Pleasant to Go With Tide.

''It is far pleasanter to go with the tide of public sentiment and enjoy the bene- fits of harmonious relations with co-work- CTS in the public service and have the acclaim instead of the disapprobation Of constituents but no man who allows himself to be controlled against his judg- ment by considerations of this character can do his duty or maintain his self-re- spect or be entitled to retain the respect and confidence of his colleagues and con stituents. If we enact this measure, and ii proves disappointing, as l believe It will. the people will not hear us to say in our defense that we legislated in re- sponse to their demands. They expect their representative especially in this body with respect to questions of this character to act intelligently, patrioti- cally and in accordance with their judg- ment and their oath of office which binds them to disregard public elamor and legis- late for the public welfare as they see and understand It."

Would Violate Constitution.

Mir Foraker also contended that the enactment of the proposed law would contravene section nine of article one Of the constitution prohibiting a preference in favor of the ports of one state over those of another state. He cited the diff ferentials allowed in favor of Philadel- phia and Baltimore and of New Orleans and Galveston, and admitted that these differentials are essential to the diffusion of the export traffic but added that the differentials conflict with one of the great purposes of those seeking the kind of
 legislation that has been proposed to secure to each locality its own partieu- lar rishtful advantages, of location and thus avoid the preferrng in the making of rates of one locality to the prejudice of another. '1f we invest the interstate commerce commissidn with the power to make rates 1t must exercise that power subject to this prohibition of the con- stitution that there shall be no preference for the ports of one state over those of another The whole system of differenuals must in consequence be abandoned.

WILL REMAIN IN ARKANSAS
Continued from first page.

body in Texarkana wants him to remain here. Not only his con- gregation, but the great mass ot the people who make up the other congregations, are anxious to keep him here. Even our business men, recognizing his superior worth as a man, are very loath to have him lost to our citizenship. -These have learned to appreciate his high worth and character during the four years he has lived here. Dur ing those four years he has gone in and out before the public, and not an act Of wrongdoing has ever been laid at his door, during those years his life has been blameless, and not shadow of suspicion has rested against him. But on the contrary, he has done wonderful work for his church and its cause, and, like the good Samaritan, has never passed by on the other side when a poor fellow mortal was i'll distress and needed succor. He IS a very strong man, ably aud thor oughly equipped for either ofen- sive or defensive warfare, yet for four years he has kept calm and sweet, smiling while the storms and thunderS raised against him by enemies have beaten about his head, and has never once struck back. Easily he could have car ried the war into Africa and no doubt have conquered peace,
 but he elected to do otherwise. In the features of Christian forbear- ance and long suffering, in the face of the greatest trials, he has certainly exhibited in the highest degree the spirit of Jesus Christ. It is believed that a concerted action of Methodists in Texarkana and other portions of the state will be made to continue Brother Thomas here. Just what this con certed action may be IS not stated,
 but there is reason to say that no effort will be neglected to influence the bishop (Hendrix) who presides over the Mississippi Conference to consent for such an arrangement.

 And while 1t means almost ev- erything to the college, 1t means a great deal to the town. Of what ever endowment is secured, prac- tically the entire income will be expended right in. Conway. Bet
 CT facilities will attract a greater number of students and thus bring a larger amount of money to the city. Many new families would be drawn to make Conway their home.
 In every way, the work of Dr. Thomas will be a blessing, and, we both the college and the town, are to be congratulated that it will be continued.

THE WORK OFDR. THOMAS.

The continuance of Dr. James Thomas in the grand work that he has been doing for Hendrix and Galloway colleges, which seems to have been secured only after con- siderable difficulty, is matter for which the christian people of the state in general and the people of Conway in particular are to be sim cerely congratulated.
 Dr. Thomas has hardly begun his work and yet S65, ,ooo-more than had been previously secured during the twenty odd. years of the colleges existence-has already been added to the endowment fund of Hendrix college.
 An endowment of several hun dred thousand dollars, which now seems entirely within the range of probabilities, will mean much to both the college and the town. It would put the institution ill posi- tion where the best talent to be had could be secured on its faculty, and where the present valuable mem bers could be more reasonably com pensated for their services. More than once, out of pure love for the college, its professors have refused f1attering offers from other institu tions and have remained with Hen drix. At tother times splendid men have been lost from the faculty for the reason that they could not, in justice to themselves and their tam- lilies, continue in their work for the meager salaries which the college could afford to pay.

It is expected that 1000 bales of cotton will be shipped from that city this year. ;" Of course business at Con- way is very satisfactory. But 4ooo bales of cotton! Why, we shipped that much during the past two weeks. Twenty thousand bales would be more nearly correct es- innate.
