Point at Issue I'm tho Rate Contro-
versy.
The controversy over rate legisla-
ton in the Senate hinges entirely on
the constitutional question whether
Congress has power to pass law con-
ferring upon the Interstate Commerce
Commission the right to fix the rates
for interstate transportation, and Mt
the same time to deny to the courts the
right of Issuing temporary injunctions
against the enforcement of such rates.
Senators Bailey, La Toilette, Carmack
and others, support the affirmative,
and Senators Foraker, Knox, Lodge,
Aldrich ard others, the negative side
of this question. The Bailey amendment
to the Hepburn bill expresses the views
of the Limited revisionists," and the
Foraker bill those of the "broad revis-
ionists." The acceptance of the Bailey
amendment and the rejection of the
broad court review" have the same
basis; which Is, that the Fifth Amend
ment of the Constitution fixes the limit,
beyond which Congress cannot so In
fixing rates, at the point where the
rates established by the Commission
wonld amount to taking private prop
erty for public use without just com-
pensation;" and that II inferior courts
had jurisdiction to set aside such rates
temporarily by forbidding their en-
forcement prior to the final hearing
and determination of the case, by
means of preliminary injunctions. the
railroads would abuse the right of
litigation, and the public would suf-
fer from their extortions; whereas. If
the inferior courts We're denied the
right to issue such injunctions, the
people would be protected, and the rail-
roads would still enjoy all the rights
to which they are entitled under the
Constitution. That they would then In
sist upon the speediest possible dispo-
sition of the case; whereas, il they
could sue out injunctions before in
ferlor courts, they would place every
conceivable obstacle in the way of a
final decision, and defy the law under
the shelter of an injunction procured
from some judge wb" had been ap-
pointed to office through the Influence
of railroad Senator'S"
The Bailey amendment Is necessary
so far as 1t would tend to prevent
an abuse of judicial power by inferior
courts In the manner indicated; the
original Hepburn bill having failed
to Incorporate such precautionary
measure. Under the original bill, the
broad court review" would probably
prevail, and the railroads might use
the machinery of the courts to harass
the shippers and eyade the law. The
Hepburn bill, with the Bailey amend
ment added, would be, In fact as well
as In name, remedial law; but with
out such amendment, 1t would be al
most sure to prove abortive.

near enough to create the presumption
that they are really associated will
them is not always known. On the
other hand, many Andean quakes dis.
play the tectonic character SO clearly
that their origin Is equally free from
doubt"
Both classes, however, are abund-
ant. From point about $50 miles
north of Callao to beyond yaldivia, in
Chile, the South American coast has
been subject to earthquakes of the
greatest energy. Sometimes they have
originated upon the sea-bottom. In
these cases great sea waves have rolled
In upon the coast with disastrous eff.
feet
Australia Is little disturbed by earth
quakes, but Its neighbor. New Zealand,
has been visited by 500 in forty-three
years. The Dutch East indies are, as
Is well known, a region Of both vol
canoes and earthquakes.
Along the Andean system.
To refer to the Western Hemisphere
again. 1t has been recognized by various
biologists that the Windward and Lee
ward Islands of the West Indies are
part of the continuation of spur of
the Andes. The seismic belt which be-
gins In Venezuela continues along the
reefs and basins into these islands. The
descent of the Andaan system Is rapid
to the coast Of La Guayra, and thence
to the depths of the Caribbean.
Throughout the Windward and Lee
ward Islands the frequency of quakes
is high, but the intensity is seldom
great. About forty miles north of the
Island Of st. Thomas is the deepest
abyss in the Atlantic. San Domingo,
Jamaica, the eastern part of Cuba and
Porto Rico are frequently shaken, and
their seismicity may be put. according
to the authority quoted, into relation
with the fact that the sea-bottom in
the vicinity of those Islands is one of
the most rugged and highly diversified
in Its proflles of any part of the earth.

The partisan persistence Of the Re
publican managers in refusing to agree
on the bill to admit Oklahoma is en-.
tlrely opposed to public opinion on this
question. The Senate, for once at
least, is actually in agreement with the
Democrats. that Justice be done to
nearly one million citizens who have
made their homes In Oklahoma and
Indian Territory. The question Of the
admission of Arizona and New Mexico
as one State has beer very properly
left by the Senate amendment to
the vote of the people. but to this
the Republican majority Of the House
refuse to agree. When these standpat
members are asking for endorsement
next fall the voters should give them a
dose Of their own medicine and refuse
to re-elect those who would not trust
the people.

will be the masters Of the Republican
party even after a new generation Of
yoters-the one that is now coming on
with its Imagination infiamed by the
slories OF Roosevelt-has taken the
place of the present one. While In
absolute sympathy personally, they
represent intellectual variants that
converge at common point, and they
VIII do more than any other group of
men alive to hold the fighting line of
their party lntaet."
In plain English, these three men
have conspired to hold the reins Of gov
eminent for another generation, at
least. In order to remain masters of
the Republican party" as they are at
present, and to perpetuate "the glories
of Roosevelt" and the whole brood OF
strenuosities and acrobats,5 political and
physical, Mr.. Taft is to be the next
President, because he ''is not In SYM
pathy with many of the economic re-
forms that are being fought by his
chief, notably railroad rate legislation
and the inheritance tax" Mr.. Roose-
welt himself might encounter trouble
in raising money from the trusts and
In securing votes from the people on
account of these proposed reforms, IL
he were the candidate; but Mr.. Taft
would satisfy all men and all trusts.
Taft is, therefore, to be the candidate
in 1908; and Roosevelt is to be Secre-
tary Of State, and from that perch is
to see that his policies are carried out
by Taft and Root until 1916, when
lie is again to re-enter the White House
for eight years more. BE will then be
only sixty-six, and Taft, who will be
only sixty-eight, will succeed him, and
remain in office for eight years more.

which she wrote to friends at the
post from Honolulu.
When Miss Mckinley became the
bride of Captain Heidi, July 10, in Des

OF spending a honeymoon with the
captain in America. Well did she
know the stern realities of life which
an army bride must face. g:

years old her father, James Mckinley,

visited President Mckinley at the;

asked to remain. Prospects of social
leadership as practical mistress of the

clined.- She wanted to be school
