will be better realized how powerful
and necessary a weapon has been
forged for the protection OF the rail-
road stockholders welfare against
conspiracy and coercion by powerful
freight tyrants as we'll as against
grating railroad officials
President Cassatt Processes on these
grounds to favor government regula-
ton and to have told the president
himself when he made his first recon-
mendation on this subject four years
ago that believe him to be in the
right" It is indeed most extraordi-
nary that responsible railroad officials
as body should so far throughout the
contest for equal freight rights have
resisted the effort to write in the law
the rule which summarizes those
rights and confers the power to en-
force them. His procurement is
welcome sign if it means a reversal of
their attitude.

SPEAKER CANNON ON ADJOURNMENT
Speaker Cannon's suggestion the
other day that It might not be possible
for congress to adjourn before July is
Interpreted as a hint of the necessity
of greater expedition of business than
there has been up to this stage OF the
session. There is such an accumula-
ton OF unfinished legislation that only
the eagerness of both sides of the
party line to get back to the congress
sional districts can now bring an early
adjournment.
IL is no secret that an arduous
struggle has been planned for the con-
troll of the next house. Although
change in ffty-six districts is required
to wipe out the present republican ma
jority, the possibilities are not really
as hopeless for the democrats as they
appear on their face. Reaction in the
congressional elections midway in a
presidential term is a familiar fact in
our political history and represents a
natural tendency The opposition
counts on such a recession of the pop
ular wave as will render doubtful
many districts which under Roose-
velt's personal leadership two years
ago gave large majorities for the re-
publican candidates for congress. and
in these districts it will make the most
active canvass.
Both sides, therefore. are anxious
to get on the fighting ground as early
as possible. Most of the present
members, both republicans and dem
ocrats, will either be renominated or
are candidates for denomination, while
third of the members of the senate
are directly and personally interested
in the election of legislatures. 1t is
this interest to which Speaker Cannon
astutely appeals to hasten legislative
business. for it is apt to have more in
huence than consideration of public
interest for that purpose.

OKLAHOMA AND INDIAN TERRIroRF

OKLAHOMA AND INDIAN TERRITORf.
The substantial statehood issue be-
tween the senate aud house is whether
be admitted as one state without re-
gard to Arizona and New Mexico
Though much of the debate in both
houses related to disposal of the latter
two territories. It was really inciden-
tai to the main question regarding
Oklahoma and Indian Territory.
The house rules enabled the major
ity party to put through in short order
the so-called omnibus bill which un-
dertakes to dispose of all the terri
tories. AS the president and a pow
erful element in all parties oppose the
admission of Arizona and New Mex
leo at this time as separate states, the
house bill arranged to join them in
one state. At once. however. there
was manifested strong objection in
both to such a merger. 1t placed a
formidable weapon in the hands of
senate opponents of the house bill and
they we're able TO pass a bill virtually
providing for the separate admission
of Oklahoma and Indian Territory.
The indications point to an agree
ment in conference which, whatever
1t may do with the other two terri
tories. is likely to be along the line of
the senate bill, providing an enabling
act for Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory. AS they have larger popula-
ton when combined than Nebraska
and constitute a fairly settled and
worthy commonwealth, it is dihicult
to see how any proper interest, politi-
cal or other, would suffer by their in
dependent admission to the sisterhood
of states.

PRESIDENT CASSATTS STATEMENT.
The statement which President Cas-
satt Of the Pennsylvania Central is re-
liably quoted in one of the June maya
zines as having recently made for pub
lication relates to a phase of rebate
and like unfairness which is bound to
come into greater prominence, namely,
coercion by big shippers OF the rail-
roads for wrongful favors.
Beyond doubt railroad oficials have
been voluntarily responsible for a vast
amount of secret rate decentralization.
II is both commonly known and a
matter of public record in many cases
that the motive back of such rate
favors was the selfish profit of those
who we're in position to influence
transportation tariffs and services.
But President Cassatt emphasizes
the other class of wrongs which have
been forced upon carriers" as he
puts 1t, by shippers OF immense tom
BILE railroad officials and against the
true interests of the railroad compan-
les themselves, as we'll as of the pub
lie The extent of the abuses thus
greater than is as yet generally real
lied. President Cassatt gives two
notable cases of such coercion" in his
own experience, whereby the Pennsyl-
w Canfral vuff
subjected to the tyranny Of the Oil
trust and the Steel trust, each of them
having disposal of prodigious freights
During a crisis in the roads financial
position the Standard Oil magnates
confronted II with the menace, which
they were absolutely able to carry out,
of diverting from II 100000 barrels
of oil a year unless a rebate of 20
cents a barrel was conceded. while a
great steel company combination,
$40, 900. 900 worth of whose freight
annually was handled, threatened to
build a competing line through Pitts
burg. These cases are extraordinary
only for the bulk of the tonnage in
volved, identically the same kind of
influence having powerfully affected
the movement and rates of all big
freights.
This class OF facts demonstrates
that the establishment through public
control of equal shippers rights by
absolute humiliation Of rebate and all
equivalent determinations is vital 10

THE REPUBLICAN STATE PRESS.

There are approximately 275 repub-
braska. These papers with few ex-
ceptions are true opponents of repub-
lican principles and voice the real SEN
timent of the rank and file of the party
in their respective localities. The re-
publican state press of Nebraska is al
most a unit in reinforcing the legisla-
tive program of President Roosevelt,
and particularly the position taken by
and regulation of corporations. They
see clearly that the effectiveness of the
rate regulation legislation depends
upon the continued support of the
president in the two houses of con-
gress, and for that reason nearly every
republican paper in Nebraska is out
spoken against sending any one with
corporation strings to represent Ne
braska in Washington.
With special reference to the sena-
torial canvass now in progress it is in
teresting to note the lineup, so far as
1t has taken place, of the republican
state papers. Out of the 275 some
$50 have so far given some expression
of favor or preference. OF this number
about fifteen would like to have Sena-
tor Willard returned for a second term.
Not more than four or FIVE show any
inclination for John L. Webster, while
about thirty are actively enlisted in
the cause for Norris Brown On the
other hand, those who see in Edward
Rosewater the logical candidate for
the present situation number over one
hundred, of which more than fifty are
unequivocally for him, while the re-
mainder express sentiments friendly in
various degrees.
Newspaper sentiment when not man
ufactured for a price is a pretty good
index to popular sentiment. If the I'M
purchasable republican newspaper ed
itors we're entrusted with the nomina-
ton Of the party candidate for United
States senator from Nebraska, Edward
Rosewater would have the endorse
ment on the first ballot by an over
whelming majority.
