Taking Up Railroad Slack.

There is already a chorus of dis
cordant claims and inslstence about
the rate bill. 1t isn't passed, and as
to some very important features it
cannot safely be surmised in what
form il will pass. Yet on both sides
there is already enthusiastic ham
mering of the tom-tom by way of
celebrating an alleged victory.
The railroad lawyers and legisla-
tors are beginning to say out loud
that they have had their way. The
Administration organs are just as
positive that the President has
swept the board, the octopus been
tanned, and the great fight w5n.
1t is too early TO get excited over
this legislation. 1t viii be too early
for some years, in all probability.
The courts have the last guess. 1t
took ten years 10 discover that the
original interstate commerce act
didn't give tee commission power
20 fix rates. Nobody ever question
ed that it conferred that power
until the Supreme Court so held.
rather incidentally.
We know d good deal Daore about
the difficulty of tanning ;Le rniI-
roads than we did twenty wears
ago. 1t is fair TO say that at best
the bill now passing will do little
more than take up the slack of
these twenty years of inactivity. 1t
VIII not even take up all of that.
There will be no long-and-short-
haul clause in it. The power over
rates is not so large as it was
commonly supposed was granted
by the act of 1857. The degree of
control which the Federal Govern
ment may exercise, within the mar
row limit between infringing on
the States on one hand and vioIat-
ing constitutional rights on the
other, is recognized as far more
precarious than il was supposed to
be when the Cullom law passed.
So, ii can fairly be said that the
Hepburn bill will require some
years for a determination of its
real character. 1t is more accom-
plishment than anybody would have
believed possible a year ago. And
IT is less accomplishment than any
sincere advocate of regulation
would wish.
The men who prepared the bill
were unduly anxious to exclude
from II everything that might en-
danger its passage. They were wor-
ried about getting it through the
Senate, the citadel of conservatism.
so they didn't say anything about
pipe lines or minimum rates or ex-
press companies or passes, or rail
roads running mines. Their inten-
tions doubtless were excellent, but
their strategy was very bad.
Bless their hearts, the Senate it.
self, with all its conservatism. is
going far beyond their limits. and
one by one inserting these things.
The bill when it passes the Senate.
will be much better and more
radical one than as it passed the
House. The House was too fearful
Of preparing a dose stronger than
the Senatorial stomach could di-
gest.
After little while we win begin
10 hear from the courts about one
feature and then another of this
bill. Then the law will begin to he
amended and licked and patched
into shape; and in time it may be
a good enough law to give reason
able degree of effective regulation.
But it is rank nonsense to assume
that the great, final, and complete
victory Will have been won in this
measures enactment.

MRS. .YER| / !
Now Admits She is Happily
Married TO Nelson
= MiSleF -.

I New York, Feb. 3.-Doubt las to the
marriage Of Mrs. Charles T. Yerkes
! 70 Wilson Miner was set at rest dur
Ing the day by the, filing of the Ger
fifcate Of the marriage with the blu
reau of vital statistics. In addition
one newspaper quotes Mrs. Yerkes in
confirmation. According to this paper
Mrs. Yerkes said: ,''' ','7~'"'
/. All can say is that am happily
married"
Z The Rev. Andrew Gilliss, who per-
formed the marriage ceremony, said:
: There is one phase of the marriage
that l wish to en1ighten the public
about in view of the fact that 1t has
been insinuated from certain quarters
that the ceremony was the result of a
plot. In the first place have been a
minister for more than ten years and
my reputation assures my friends that
I would not take part in any religious
or civil ceremony that was not en-
tireIy regular.
ut is absurd to say that either of
the contracting parties was in no con-
dition to know what was transpiring
Mrs. Yerkes was entirely herself. She
was self-possessed, entered with zest
into the spirit of the occasion and
answered all questions without the
slightest hesitation" -

FRANCE
Is Waiting for Germany to
Show Her Hand. in Nor.
ocean Conference


Paris, Feb 3.-The safeguarding of
frances prepondering political influ-
ence in Morocco appears to be the
main point of the French programme
at the Moroccan conference at Alge-
ciras. On ether questions France is
prepared in a liberal spirit to meet
any proposals formulated. but she will
take firm stand relative to the po-
lice. Such is the view expressed in
quarters enjoying the confidence OF
the ministers here, where it is also
affirmed that the French delegates are
determined to await the disclosure Of
Germany's proposals before making
known their own propositions. 1t is
argued that this waiting attitude is
justified by the fact that the desire
fer a conference emanated from Ger
many, which should, therefore, take
the initiative In declaring its views.
The French cabinet possesses the
unanimous support OF the country In
maintaining the principle that Frances
position In Algeciras gives 1t the right
to predominant voice Ia Moroccan
affairs, Amy other solution OF the con-
ference viii be regarded by the coan-
try MS a display or weakness and the
view is generally expressed that re-
turn to the status quo would be prefer
able.

Mr.. Thomas said the bill was Ia
line with the Democratic position, the

including his own state, and the out
growth of public sentiment.
Referring to the losses sustained by
the truckers of his district last spring

placed under the control Of the com
mission.
Mr.. Goulden IN. W gave his rea.
sons for supporting the bill. 1t. was
the best of its kind ever presented
It's benefits were greater than its de
fects.
In beginning an hours speech in
favor of the bill Mr.. Burton CO.. dwell
on the enormity of the corporations in
