men and three women. Mrs. Stein and
Mrs. Kuchler were hurled with terrific
force against the stone abutments of a
railroad bridge. Mrs. Kuchler's skull
was fractured, and she suffered serious
internal injuries. Mrs. STEMS left arm
was broken aud she also suffered internal
hurts.
After the women had been struck the
automobile was brought to stop and
one of the men alighted. He was seen
to run back, take hurried look at the
PROSTATE forms and then hurriedly re-
enter the machine, which was driven
away at rapid rate.
For several Sundays past the village
authorities of New Rocelle have endea-
vored to curb the fast driving of auto
mobiles through the streets. Sunday
ten persons were arrested and fined.
The death Of young Cullman was
witnessed by his mother and father who
were seated at their front window
watching the boy and several com.
panions at play in the street. An auto
mobile approached as he started to cross
the street. The Chauffeur turned the
machine sharply, but one of the lamps
struck the lad and he fell to the ground.
Quickly regaining his feet he started to
run for the sidewalk but sank down to
pavement. When taken into his parents
home he was dead

celebrating on the railroad rate bill; but
deiberation is what the Senate was made
for. AS body, it is 1.-The sober second
thought" of the legislature OF the re-
public. II one will take the pains to
read the latest Senatorial discussions of
the railroad-rate proposition, he will be
struck with the able manner with which
Mr.. Bailey and Mr.. Spooner debated the
court review suggestion.
Here we find what the laymen never
knew, and what, it is manifest, the
House of Representatives never thought
of-the difference between the general
judicial power" of court and the ''juris-
diction" of a court. To the ordinary man
they are the same thing, but they are
widely different to the great legal lights
of the Senate, and there is room for
radical difference of opinion on the SUBJ
ject, and the question would have sup
piled a theme that might well have
challenged all the opulent wisdom of
Webster and all the consummate logic of
Calhoun.
The Senate is earnestly seeking to
arrive at correct decision of this vexed
constitutional, legal, economic, and
political question, and in that body, for
the moment, politics is sunk in state
craft; and that is another thing the
Senate was made for-to be patriotic,
rather than partisan, in great emergency.
1t is not a new role. Nearly forty
, years ago the Senate tried Andy johnson
for bad manners on impeachment charges
preferred by the House of Representa-
tives. There was more clamor against
johnson then than there is clamor
against the railroad now, and johnson
was guilty of bad manners, too; but the
Senate after mature deliberation, refused
a verdict of guilty because seven eminent
Republican Senators, some of them
among the greatest names in the history
of American craftsmanship, held that
the bad manners of which johnson was
guilty did not constitute an offense
grave enough to warrant impeachment
Again, sixteen years ago, the House of
Representatives passed force bill max
ing it unconstitutional for certain South
ern States to give Democratic majorities.
The Senate "deliberated" on that, and
came to the conclusion that it would not
be well to put the cotton States under
the rule of the bayonet, for it was evident
that the measure would require the aid
of the army, if enforced; and so the
Senate quietly shelved Mr.. Lodges
election law, and the speech Mr.. William
E. Chandler made the other day is VIM
dication of the Senate in its action of
1890
The Senate is very able hody;it is a
deliberative body, and here is found
legislative wisdom, if it be anywhere {;
and we venture to say that it is just as
patriotic as the country, and it can
never be anything else as long as it is
chosen by the States to act as check on
the Federal government.

though not favoring it, is doubtless cor
rect,-this will be done; and whatever
further ad- justments to the business
conditions of the country may be called
for, will fol- low.
1t is important, too, absolutely essen
tial, that the measure passed shall con-
troll the situation. The humor of the
country is not for trifling. The people
have made up their minds to move, and
to correct those particular evils in the
management of the great transportation
agencies of the Republic, to which their
attention has been called; nor will they
stop until they have done it.
If private management of railroads
in this country is finely superseded, it
will be, and only be, because it has
been tried in the balance and found
wanting.

FRIDAY. APRIL 6, 1906.
Rate Bill Discussion at WASH
inuton

We had the pleasure in the railroad
rate bill discussion, in the United States
Senate, now going on every day, of hear
ing Senator McComber, Republican of
North Dakota, make a very handsome
and at times, eloquent speech.
Mr.. McComber is both a graceful and
accomplished speaker. He did not pro-
fess to be in favor of the bill, but, on
the contrary, strongly expressed the
opinion that it would prove complete
disappointment, not reaching at all the
troubles which the people were anxious
to have remedied. That these connected
with the tendency of capital to combi-
nations in corporations, trusts, ETC., by
which the independence of individual
action was very much interfered with,
and the wealth of the country most I'M
equally distributed; but that this was
entirely distinct from the question of
railroad rates. However, he said that
he expected the bill would pass, and
that he should support it in its final
form, and this was the best thing he
said.
The people are right in their instincts,
that, this enormously unequal distribu-
ton of wealth, which calls so loudly
for remedy, connects very largely with
the maladministration of the railroads of
the country. When they have remedied
this, they will at least have made start
in the right direction, and will be even
more ready to correct other evils. 1t is
the first step that counts. A thing we'll
begun is half done.
The demand for government control of
railroads is the usual demand for law
to restrain the selfish propensities of men
in this case to see that the great trans
portation facilities of the country, created
by the State for the benefit of the State,
deal fairly with all shippers, the smallest
equally with the largest
If we do this, evils which seem to
threaten us-the massing of great wealth
in few hands, that comes not from I'M
equal effort but from unfair opportunity,
and is therefore in the nature of stolen
goods-will be, largely at least, stopped.
The warnings given by Mr.. McComber,
that regulation of railway rates by gov
eminent means ultimately the govern
ment ownership of railroads, may be
correct, and so his suggestions that this
last has resulted in Europe in the build
ing up of the great seaport cities at the
expense of the interior country, and he
fears it will do the same here, is a
timely warning to be remembered and
guarded against If the occasion arises.
But whether we want to transfer the
rate making power to a government
commission, or not: that is whether we
have any great confidence in the ultimate
success of such commission it is I'M
questionably the only thing that offers at
this time. Andas the great majority of
the people are agreed that something
must be done, Mr.. McComber's prophecy,

night, where the programme rendered
was richly deserving of patronage. The

noon the splendid band paraded the

The following testimonial to the ability
and usefulness of the United States SEN
ate is from the Washington Post. The
benefit, and indeed absolute necessity, of
free discussion to sound legislation, no
citizenship in the world can more fully
appreciate than the American and I'M
der present conditions the only branch of
our national legislature where we are
sure to get any discussion at all of any
question, no matter how important, is
our Senate.
And therefore whether the Senate on
the present question thinks in accord or
votes in accord with the sentiment of the
great body of the People or not, the Peo-
pie will be pleased to have them fully
discuss the question at issue. And after
such discussion, which may wisely lead
to some slight alterations, or amendment
of the Hepburn bill, as passed by the
House, the people certainly will hope,
and expect, that the Senate will stay by
them, the House and the President in
supporting such bill as it is thought will
best accomplish the object sought.
We are, too, happy to say that it is I'M
derstood now that Vermont's Senators
will both support bill not very different
from the Hepburn bill, only having a
limited court review amendment, which
it is quite generally thought will be nec-
essary to make the law constitutional,
and which President Roosevelt is also
willing to have inserted.
This is as it should be, and as we sup.
posed all the time must be, and now
how is it with the rest of New England?
Is it possible that all Its other Senators
will vote against this bill? We do not
believe it, and hope that there will not be
any of them who will.
And indeed why can't the Senate, af-
ter they have got it carefully amended
and in such shape as will be accepted by
the House and the President, do as the
House did, pass it with practical una
nimity? This morning it is stated that
Senator Allison, one of the ablest and
Oldest Republican leaders, hitherto
claimed with the opposition, has pledged
his support to the limited court amend
ment. In speaking of this the Posts cor
respondent, a very able one, truthfully
says, MIR. Allison is tower of strength
to any cause in the Senate"
Senator Elkins of West Virginia also
announces that he will support the bill
with proposed limited court review
amendment.
Come on gentlemen, the country will
welcome you all, and sincerely hopes you
will fall into line, with a wise law, and
demonstrate that the Senate is not only
the popular branch of our national legis-
ture in permitting the fullest freedom of
discussion, but also that it is in hearty
accord with the People in their earnest
desire to correct evils which they believe
to be very seriously detrimental to their
prosperity. Washington, April A.
