Doing things in high diplomatic
way appears to be largely a question
of disposition. The United States got
into the conference at Algeciras over
the protest of a number Of estimable
people who saw nothing in our presence
there but a desire to show off as world
power and take the chance of getting
into disagreeable squabble. Never
theless. the secretary of state sent his
representatives and the outcome shows
that thru their presence an incident
which threatened the peace Of Europe
was satisfactorily closed.
The conclusion at Algeciras was the
direct result Of Secretary Roots wise
selection of delegates and the clearness
of his instructions One cannot but
regret that the same secretary Of state
who found a way to get into the AL
geciras conference on the ground that
we were signatories to an old treaty
which guaranteed freedom Of trade in
Morocco cannot see his way clear to
get action in the Congo matter on the
same ground. We are signatories tc
a treaty which established the Congo
state on the express understanding that
trade should be free. This provision
Of the Congo constitution has beer
specifically violated by the king of the
Belgians. There is no more freedom Of
trade in the Congo country than there
is in Tibet. American commercial inter
ests there may be slight, but her hui
manitarian interests are large. Tht
| violation Of the constitution with re
gard to freedom Of trade is per
fectly legitimate weapon to use in Sc
curing reconvening Of the powers
| which gave the breath of life to thu
| Congo state and when that conference
is called the full and shameful characte
Of Leopold's inhuman administrator
may be laid bare.
It would seem as tho Secretary Roo
was losing a golden opportunity t.
wipe the last remaining trail of SLAYER,
from the ground Of Africa by assumin,
carelessly that we have no right o
power Of intervention in the Cong
matter.

State Railroad Legislation.

The Mortified News says that state
railroad legislation is urgently needed
to supplement the Dolliver-Hepburn
bill when it becomes a law, and de-
clares:
The railroads will have a. free hand
to Cypress the people Of Minnesota,
with determinations within the state,
with exorbitant rates on the products
Of the, farm and the forest, with excess
sive demurrage charges and with the
have been, subjected The need Of
state legislation governing railroad
operations is even more pressing than
was the demand for amendment to the
federal law.
Minnesota needs some more railroad
/ Legislation, but very little along the
lines of the Dolliver-Hepburn bill. Our
| laws giving the state commission power
| to fix or change rates are well-nigh
complete, the best in the union, and
several steps farther along than the
provisions Of the proposed federal en-
actment. Our law prohibits discrimi-
nations and rebates. It gives the COM
mission power to reduce rates or
classifcations, terminal charges or any
thing of the kind, either after COM
plant by shipper or upon it's own
motion. It prohibits railroad COM
panies from changing rates or classif-
cations without the commissions con-
sent, and gives the commission author
ity to summon witnesses, books and
papers or to examine the books Of any
railroad to check up for violations Of
the law. In a hundred other ways the
state authorities have regulating power
over the railroads as to service, charges
and other details.
With such complete code Of rail
road law, the railroads cannot be said
to have "free hand'' to make ex-
orbitant rates or charges; certainly not
when Section 1870 Of the Revised Stat
utes gives the commission power to
change any "rates, fares, charges OF
classifcations, whenever in it's judg.
ment, the public interests require it.
That power has been invoked before
and is now, in the pending hearing on
merchandise rates.
Our state law on railroad rates car
only go one step farther; that is tc
, make rates effective notwithstanding
appeal, and until set aside by the
: courts. That step may be taken soon
5 The state commission has authority
/ now over demurrage charges, and needs
no more. A reasonable reciprocal de
murrage law, however, would result
l in more even justice to the shipper
Another piece Of legislation is widely
demanded, and seems inevitable. Min
}, nesota should take the lead in prohibit
= ing all free passes, except to employees
: and with such law can properly COM

g fare to two and a half, or possibly t.

The big revival of t,tFantasma, - by
Hanlon brothers at the Bijou this week,
brings back the versatile Clara Thropp
in the role of the village cutup, Kit
tie Mayo, who INDUCES in all sorts
of FRANKS with the clown Pieo. It
should be understood that Miss Thropp
is not to be considered as part Of
the revival-she never needs to be re-
vived for she's going all the time and
never runs down. One may expect to
hear Of her doing the "limit," next,
which is the latest circus automobile
stunt, entitled in the simple words Of
Tody Hamilton, Gle tourbillon de la
mort. -s..
She was the original Tags in Neil
Burgess "County Fair when the
piece ran 400 nights in New York.
Then she went to London and stayed
there for several years, among other
things creating the part of Julia Bon
Bon in 'The Girl from Paris" played
in this country by Clara Lipman. She
has been seen here number of times
at the head of her own companies, she
went on steady diet of creating roles
in the La Sale theater productions,
Chicago, before they went on the road,
and next stopped kicking up her heels
| and starred as Nora in Ibsen's serious
problem play, ga Dolls House"
Then she went in for melodrama and
was the wait in the "Banker's Daugh-
ter" Since she made her debut at the
age Of years in Fawcett Rowe's play
Of "Lemons,' at the old John T.
Ford theater at Washington, she has
played about everything within the
limitations of. her sex, barring old
woman and tragic roles, and has played
| everything well.

Evelyn Vaughn, the new leading lady

Electing a City Council.

The Chicago Chronicle quite sagely
remarks that it is Of far more impor
tance that Chicago should have good
council than that it should have a good
mayor. 1t is, and it is a more difficult
thing to get because of the ward sys-
tenn which frequently enables the graft
ers, to dictate both nominations in
q majority of the wards. The people
of the cities have for years been fight
ing a losing fight for civic reform be-
cause they were shooting at the wrong
mark. They have fired their heavy az
tillery against candidates for mayor,
and when they succeeded in defeating
one whose personality seemed objec-
tionable, have retired to their homes
confident that they had accomplished
something. In most cases they had &C
complished nothing except to allow the
corporations to run off with the council
under cover of the smoke and din of
the mayoral campaign.
The ideal administration, of course
would be good mayor working in har-
mony with good council; but the coun
ellis the foundation. If the council is
+ devoted to devious methods of doing
business the mayor is, as a rule, power
less to stop the loot. On the other hand
i Chicago's own case shows how easily
/ a council endowed with common sense
may hold up Eighty executive. Mayor
/ Dunno has been year trying to plunge
Il Chicago into an ill-digested scheme O.
municipal ownership, and the council
H has been able to block him every time
But if the council were equally deter
4 mined upon some foolish venture, tn
mayor could not do anything but i'm
pose limited veto.
The council in all our cities hold
II the pursestrings, makes the contracts
spends the money and declares the mu
