A DAY OF ORATORY
THREE SPEECHES ON RATE BILL IN
 SENATE.
Bailey Replies to Criticisms of His Suggestion for Prohibition Against Suspension of Commits
 sf0p'M Orders,

Washington, March 19.--There were three speeches on the railroad rate bill in the Senate today. Messrs. McCreary, Bailey and Hepburn were the orators MT. McCreary announced his determina- tion to vote for the bill, whether amended or not. but said that he would not object to reasonable provision for the review of the Interstate Commerce Commissions findings.
 MT. Bailey replied to criticisms of his suggestion for prohibition in the bill against the suspension of the Com missions orders by courts below the Supreme Court. He contended that Congress had absolute power to pro vide limitations for the courts which it creates, and cited a largo number of decisions in support of his position.
 MT. Hepburn advocated review pro- vision, but expressed the opinion that even if it was omitted no person could he deprived of his right of admission to the courts.
 Reading from an account of the Dem ocratic Senators luncheon at the home of Mir. Newlands yesterday, published in a Washington paper today, MT. Bai- ley said that the criticism of his views was based on an account the exact op- posite of what had taken place The report referred to said that majority of those present were against his pro- posed amendment. He then proceeded with a legal discussion of his position and declared that he had been upheld in his contention by the Supreme Court of the United States
 misapprehension exists among some lawyers. he said, as to the right of Congress to limit the jurisdiction of courts below the Supreme Court on the ground that Congress may regulate the proceedings at law. but could not effect equity proceedings.
 More than dozen decisions from the 4th Dallas to the 167th United States, he said, proved the power of Congress to control the jurisdiction of the equity proceedings as well as the law pro- ceedings in the Federal Courts. These decisions were reviewed by Mir Bailey in support of the position he had taken on the subject of limiting the injunc- ton powers of the so-called Congress sional Courts.
 MT. Bailey laid especial stress upon the contention that Congress may pre- scribe the jurisdiction of the subordi- nate courts which it crea tes. He de- clared that unless those courts were vested with greater power than out lined by the Constitution, the action cannot be attacked. Such an attack could not prevail in case of the limita- tion of such powers within the consti-

tuition He said that the Supreme Court had rejected the argument that the lower courts have inherent power, holding that their powers were cir cumscribed by the Constitution creat- Ing the courts. Mir Bailey called at tention to the act of Congress prohibit ing the courts from punishing for con struetive contempt and yet" he said. Senators deny the right of Congress to regulate the issuance of iuterlocutory decrees.'
 Mir. Bailey declared that all he was contending for was to have the rates fixed by the commission stand until finally adjudicated by the court. be- cause he believes it might be assum ed that any rate established by that body would be more just than the rates of the railroad companies, the one be- ing disinterested and the other in- terested.
 ''I appeal to yoh which is more apt to be right? If you give your voice to that fixed by the commission, l de- mand, in the interest of the people, that it stand until a final decree to the contrary is recorded"
 He advised senators to be candid with the people. He read letter from an attorney in Florida reciting Judge Pardee's course in enjoining that State from instituting suit to com pei the reduction of passenger rates; q proceeding, he said, which showed how far these learned and upright judges may go in the use of their powers, He declared that even If he stood alone he would submit to tho senate the question of whether the courts may exercise arbitrary power like that assumed by Judge Pardee.
 Are we to understand that the Sena- tor favors a final review by the courts?" MT. Aldrich asked.
 T do." replied Mir. Bailey q have never seen the day when I would favor the closing of the doors of the courts to any person, corporate or otherwise favor a fair and impartial proceeding What I contend for is that the courts should not have the power to set aside findings without thorough inquiry"
 He said that he did not have con- fidence in all the judges on the federal bench.
 MT. Hepburn expressed confidence that the present effort would result in legislation to fix rates but said 1t was necessary to pursue methods that would stand the tests of the courts. He did not believe that orders of the com mission could be made final because of the constitutional rights of all people but he saw no objection to the inser- tion of a provision for a review by the courts of the findings of the commits sion.
 He declared that the existing com merce law had resulted in building up seashore communities at the expense of the interior regions by construction of the long and short haul clause so as to discriminate in favor of coast cities
 The senate al o'clock went into executive session and adjourned eight minutes later.

wants to be all there Is to any propo. sition on which he is engaged and he is showing so much of that spirit that President Roosevelt is getting restive under 1t.
 The president has q well-defined de- sire to be the whole thing also, and he has had frequent clashes with Root on matters of policy. Root calmly goes ahead and does as he likes. He is the one man in the administration who is not overawed by the vigorous personality of the president.
 Sometimes" the president said plaintively to very intimate friend a few days ago, sometimes I discover evidences that Root imagines he is president"
 The president is too wise to let these feelings crop out far nough to cause a break There will be none. However. he has dropped Root as the man he desires to have the Republican nomination in 1908, and is casting about for some one else Just now he Is more in favor of Speaker Cannon than anybody else. for Cannon is help ing him in his congressional program.
 Cannon is a candidate. He will not say so. Indeed. he will deny it, but he is a candidate just the same. and the president thinks pretty well of him. Cannon will be 72 in 1908, but
 
 the president is willing to let him work out his salvation if he can. al- though he has by no means commit ted himself to Cannon. He has mere ly yeered bit toward him.
 The president will never be for Fair hanks. He will never be for Shaw. He has cooled toward Root. He will not be for a radical such as LaFoI- lette. He honestly thinks he will not run again, although he could have no objection to running in 1912. His friends say the present tendency of the country is all toward the nomina- ton of Hearst in 1908, and in that case they say President Roosevelt will have to run again in order to defeat Hearst.
 The presidents exact program for the remaining years of his present term is simple enough. He is working 1t out now. His persistent campaign against railroads and trusts is based on this decision He is determined to show no mercy to the ultra or money classes, to exert all his influences for the benefit of the middle classes. and not 10 mix with the poorer classes in such way as to be identified with them as Hearst is. This is the. under lying motive of every official act at the present time That Is why he is after the trusts. railroads and combi- nations so actively.
 If the president does not run again he has plans all made to go to Africa and shoot big game. He wants to kill eephants. hippopotamuses and lions. After that he will return and ask for election 10 the United States senate from New York. and from his seat in the senate he plans to boss the countgy--to be the Republican dieta. tor,

 Somebody must look after the gen. eral health of the English language. The Hon. Andrew Carnegie has pro- vided trained nurses for its orthogra- phy.

SHELVING TAFT.
In Putting Secretary on The Beach VIII
 Dispose of an Opponent.

Washington Cor. New York World.
 If President Roosevelt succeeds in getting Secretary Taft. of the war de- partment. to go on the supreme bench in the place of Justice Brown he will have put another man in the king row in the checker game of politics he is playing.
 The president recognizes presi- dential possibility in Taft-not very formidable one. but still a possibility Taft's friends and family think he will be a great figure before the Republi- can convention in 1908, but colder blooded politicians do not see how Taft can get in with Foraker and Dick against him. and without Ohio. his home State, he would have a poor chance.
 The president desires to control the nomination absolutely. Therefore. he jumped at the chance to get Taft shelved and thus simplify the game. Taft is hesitating. He Is allnred by the prospect of place on the bench of the highest court in the country, but he thinks he should remain where he Is and finish his work in the Phil ippines and in Panama.
 MT Roosevelt is willing to take chances on a new man in the war de- partment if he can get Taft to go on
  without appearing to force him. Taft will accept If the president demands it, but the president will not go that far unless he has to. He would rather wait and see If he cannot get Taft there by persuasion rather than by command.
 He has bottled up Shaw for another year. Shaw was the most astonished man in the country when the presi- dent called him in and demanded that he should stay another year as secretary of the treasury. It was all settled that Shaw should leave last February. The president thought it best to keep Shaw's hands tied for an- other year, and he put it to Shaw in a way that made Shaw comply.
 The other member of the cabinet galaxy of presidential possibilities, Elihu Root Secretary of State. came back into the cabinet because he missed the power he had in the cab met when he was merely practicing law in New York. He was not sat- isfied after he went back to his pro- fession He had been arbitrary as secretary of war. and he liked it. The president had to use no persuasion to get Root into the cabinet. He came at the first call. and he came with the idea that he may be a presidential can didate in 1908.
 For a time President Roosevelt was so tickled at the return of Root. with his great mind to prop up his ad- ministration that he did not notice the domineering methods of Root. He no- tices them now and he does not like them. Root is natural autocrat He
