But the people are not as inexperienced

The Senate as a body does not take up

to take up any case. That there are sena-
tors whose associations and activities have
brought them under suspicion, and sub
jected them to criticism, in connection with
legislation bearing on wealth and corpora
tons is true. But the Senate is not tarred
with that stick, and there is no reason
whatever why in anything it may consider

SO far as the railroads are concerned.
they are themselves largely to blame for
any exaggerations that may be circulating
as to their offenses and their attitude to-

have played a double game. Declaring
themselves at first as unopposed to a fair
rate-making law. they then set to work to
create and organize sentiment against any
law at all, and to that end have wheeded
or dragooned their employees into petitioning
against law. The great majority of the
people on the other hand. want a law, and
one that means something. and the Senate

The Senate and a Cloud.

The following is taken from the report OF
Mr.. Tillman's speech I'm the Senate yester-
day on the subject OF the railroad merger
resolution:
''The South Carolina senator then went
on 70 say that the Senate was under a
cloud and should take steps to clear It's
good name. The newspaper press asso-
Citations. however controlled, and I have
my suspicious on that point he said, have
educated the people to believe that Theo-
dore Roosevelt Is their only friend here, and
that the Senate is the supple tool of the
corporations, unless 1t takes their ipse
dixit.'"
Mr.. Tillman is in error. The Senate Is not
under cloud. Its name is as good today
as 1t has been any time these thirty years
past One has only to refresh himself with
newspaper flies to discover that both the
Senate and tbs House have been under fire

MN HALING is destined to be one
wv of the big industries of the
north Pacific coast and in it's
development Alaska will reap it's share
of the profits. There is only one
whaling station on the Pacific coast at
present, and this is in British Columbia.
Altho established only last year, it has
proven such a tremendous success that
two other stations are now building
for next seasons work. One is in
Alaska and it will have the distinction
OF being the first modern whaling sta
ton in the United States.
Modern whaling is a vastly different
game from what the oldtimers of fifty
years ago encountered. In those days,
it was life SO full of adventure and
danger as to rank in romance and song
with tho life of pirate or privateers-
man. The voyage lasted for months
and even years. The leviathans of
the deep were pursued in cockleshell
boats and were attacked with harpoons
thrown by the strongest arm on board.
The boat was yanked around and even
drawn underneath the waves. Every
moment until life was extinct in the
monster was one Of the uttermost
danger.
