A Commendab1e
Show Of Courage

WASHINGTON. D. c.. May Is
ed from the fight over the rate bill
with his reputation so enhanced as a
result of it as has Senator ElSins- At
the beginning he was charged with be-
ing one Of the area conspirators
against the bill, but the result has
shown him to be one of the best
friends of rate regulation that resu-
late in the Senate. Al1 manner Of
criticism was directed against his at
titude in West Virginia and through
out the country. All manner of insin-
uation was made against his motives
and his purposes But many weeks
before the final passage of the bill
this feeling began to diSSipate. just
as the foSs are dissipated Gby the sun,
and when the end came his name
stood out in bold relief as one of the
leading advocates Of genuine. abuse
cerrocetins legislation.Whe men came
to analyze his amendments with can
dor instead Of with prejudice, whep
the amendments they found them to
be provisions of Importance and val
ue provisions that will mean more to
West Virginia than any others in the
bill And yet Senator Elkins was urg-
ed to drop these amendments
Suppose He Had Dropped Them?
Suppose Senator El<ins mas listen
ed to the popular demand Of West
Virginians TO give up his amendments
lest they might endanSer the bill it
self? 1t does not take seer TO see
that if he had done so these amend

ed. would never have gone into the
measure The muck rakers represent
ed Senator Elkins as being dead set
against legislation of a practical sort
Suppose these muck TakerS and the
monetary hostile sentiment they sue
ceed in stirring up against Senator
ElhnS. had served their purpose and
turned him from ibis determination to
do what he believed was best? Sup
pose he had not had the courage to
stand up against this wave of hos
tile sentiment and had meelly sup
ported the bill without urging his
amendments Is 1t not plain that IL
he had done so West Virginia would
have secured no relief at all from ad-
mitted abuses.
The above is a line Of thought which
a crowd of West virSinians were pur-
suing yesterdaS and on every hand
they conceded that 1t was to thescour-
age OF Senator ElkinS alone that the
