that the press had made the President
what he is and that it has been through
that great fundamentally that he has
dared to "bestride the world like a
Colossus"
Tillman admitted that newspapers
are sometimes unjust, but said that
generally they are fair in their treat
ment Of public questions. He said that
an instance of the Presidents use of
newspaper men as in his employment of
Joseph Bishop as a press agent" for
the Panama canal. He said that dur

brunt of battle.
The senator said he appreciated the
value Of the Presidents service in the
army and recognized his growth until
he has been voted the most popular
man in the United States and would
MT detract one iota from the Presi-
dents credit. All of this showed that
the President realized the power of the
nress and the speaker charged them

RAILW WORLD
EXCURSION RATES CAUSE SOME
TROUBLE
Roads Desire Convention Business on
Account of Adverti-'na and
Are Cutting Fares to
Get IL

Five or six times during as many
months the western passenger situation
has been in a shaky condition, but a
rate war is now said to be close at hand.
Large conventions are said to have been
the cause of all the contention between
the different lines. The roads desire
this business only on account of the
advertising it gives them for the low
rates are not usually very remuna tive.
The rate of eight dollars that the
Santa Fe made to Chicago from Kan
sas City to meet the cut made by the
Alton of eleven dollars for the round
trip to Milwaukee from Kansas City
may be cut to a lower figure by other
roads, although this rate Is now $3.50
less than the one way fare.
Trouble is also being caused by the
rates for the Kentucky Homecoming
week. The Wabash contracted for this
business at a rate of $11.75 for the round
trip for the Kansas City delega ton
only. other roads are using this figure
for a basing rate.
There is also trouble over the rates
to other large conventions, and rail-
road men say that it is their belief that
the squabble will end in a general rate
war The Pacific coast lines are at
peace as yet. but the trouble seems
to be coming west. 1t has now spread
from New York half way across the
United States.
