SOME INSIDE HISTORY FOR THE
FUTURE

From Kansas City Times
Some day, when the big battle for
rate legislation has become a thing
Of the past. there viii doubtless be q
chapter OF hitherto unpublished his
tory" covering this great contest The
country has known that the president
has been opposed by all the Influences
that organized capital, fortified graft
and corrupted statesmanship could
bring TO bear upon him IN his fight
for a square deal in the transpOrta-
ton business The people have known
that Mr. Roosevelt has regarded the
regulation Of rates as the foremost
issue between the nation They have
seen his courage and determination in
protecting the leading rate bill against
the cunning Of corporation senator's
And yet even the closest observers
OF and the strongest sympathizers
with the president have scarcely been
prepared for the statement that he
has been obliged either to sacrifice
or seriously jeOpardize every other
recommendation he has made to con-
gress in order to insure the enactment
Of a good rate law The other meas
ures held in allegiance and played
against the president include the Phil
ippines tariff bill, the statehood bill
and the Dominican treaty, all very i'm
pOrtant and all dear to the presidents
heart Yet he knows that these things
can better wait than can the matter Of
rate regulation The greatest indus
trial, commercial and financial evils
OF the country may be traced to some
form OF rate frregUlarity. And doubt
less the president believes that if the
determined fight he is making ends in
defeat there will be little hope Of
success in a renewed campaign.
For some reason, sufficient to the
president and for that reason suffici-
ent to the country resting its case in
his hands for the time being, Mr.
Roosevelt is ready to make any sacri-
fee necessary TO win the rate contest
These sacrifices not only include
measures that should be passed by
congress, but they involve personal
friendships, political ties, social rela-
tons and other considerations that try
strong men and invariably move weak
men It seems irOnical in the extreme
that in his final stand for the people
as against the predatory trusts and
corporations, Theodore Roosevelt
should be defeated even by most Of
the members Of his cabinet, by some
Of his oldest and most trusted friends
in the senate and deliberately and
hagTantly misrepresented by some Of
the leading papers hitherto giving him
their unqualified support
It all means that the power Of the
railroads and the trusts, great as il
has been known TO be, is even greater
than the people knew. And this viii
be the hitherto unwritten history
it viii be the exposure Of the real re-
latiOns between the corporations and
certain public men not ordinarily
classed as agents Of the railroads and
the trusts. But that history viii re-
late to Roosevelt victory, not a
Roosevelt defeat, for Roosevelt repre-
sents the people and the people viii
continue this fight to a proper finish.
The government is greater than its
creatures.

MONEY MUSK.

In shirt OF check and tallOwed hair
The fiddler sits in the bulrush chair,
Like Moses basket stranded there
On the brink Of Father Nile.
He feels the fiddle's slender neck,
Picks out the notes with thUm and
check,
And times the tune with nod and beck,
And thinks it a weary while.
All ready Now he gives the call,
Cries: Honor to the iadies!" All
The only jolly tides OF laughter fail
And ebb in a happy smile.
Down comes the bow on every
string.

But-nOt thy wOman-heart, r.
Give me thy sunny hours,
But not thy secret tears
Give me thy hope, thy happiness,

Nor ever smiled again

This week in congress might wei
be termed temperance week" says
Mrs Margaret Dys Ellis in the Union
Signal OF March J. First IN import
ance and attention was the successful
passage in the senate OF the pure food
bill by a vote Of So to 4. The first
day was largely devoted to food pro-
ducts, the second entirely given to the
discussion OF intoxicating liquors and
patent medicines Senator Hepburn,
author OF the bin, clearly brought out
the fact that the word liquors in
cluded wine, beer, whisky and all
drinks Of that kind" The bill makes
it unlawful for any person or cor
pOration to manufacture, sell, etc,
any article Of food, drugs, medicines
or liquors which is adulterated or
mis-branded, OF which contains any
poisonous or deleteriOus substance" A
similar bill, the Hepburn pure food
bill. has been having hearings before
the house committee, the question Of
liquor being discussed in this connec-
ton also. The counsel Of the Nation

ton was present to oppose the max

Of a wholesale liquor dealer in Phil
adelphia whose guilty conscience has
been quickened by the great religious
revival now in progress there, who IS
petitiOning the judges Of the license
court Of that city to revoke his license
In his petition, he says:
The liquor trade has so degener-
ated that it is almost impossible to
purchase purt liquors, and it is a
crime to furnish cologne spirits and
fusel oil to a man or woman who asks
for whisky, and yet it is done. can

tributes such poisonous potiOns, as
there can be no doubt that many Of
the cases where men and women have
been found dead have come to their
death through patrOnizing saloons

guise Of liquor"
Another important hearing was be-
fore the house committee Of the judi
ciary on the Littlefield-DOlIiver bill,
viz: the shipping Of intoxicating Ii
quOrs into prohibition territory un-
der cover and protection of the inter
state commerce law. The committee
room was filed with members Of the
National German-American alliance,
and other Germans who oppose any
bill Of a prOhibitive nature. The prin-
cipaI address was made by Represen-
tative Sharp Williams OF Mississippi,
who spoke in support Of his bill to
prevent Q. o. D. shipments into pro-
hibitiOn districts. He sad: Il am
not a radical prohibitionist, but be-
lieve where communities decide on
local option or prohibition, the United
States should not stand in the position

Anti-SaIoOn league, the W. G. 7. u.
and other temperance organizations,
were present
