a copy of the new 1906 Kodol Almanac

portant feature is without doubt the
very simply constructed 200 Year Cal
endar, whereby with absolute accur-
acy you can tell the day of the week
on which any event occurred during
one hundred years of the past, or on
which any date will occur during the
next hundred years, thus giving the
day of the week on which any birth,
death, marriage or any important
event may have happened.
Messrs. E. G. Dewitt & Co., of Chi
cago, ILL.,, are sole owners and publish
ers Of the Kodol Almanac and 200

poIIIver Is Helpless.

Senator Dolliver is helpless. He
cannot waylay and drag senators to
the committee room. He can be pres
ent himself and he Is present and that
is as far as he can so. Things can
not be managed in senate committee
as they are In a political convention;
there are proprieties that must be OBJ
served.
The situation is very embarrassing,
g,esnecially for those who favor the en-
setment of a rate law in accord with
the recommendation Of the Presi-
dent. The opponents Of the PROPOSE
ton believe delay is the card for them
to- play at this time, SO the program
Just suits them. They can stand un-
limited delay. On the other hand,
those who in general way favor the
Presidents plan are not able to get
anywhere near each other in the mat
ter Of detail. Senator Elkins, who
claims to be anxious to curb the rail-
roads, has his own ideas. He is GER
tain his theory Is right and that 1T
will put a kink in the railroads and
give the people all they are asking
for. Senator Clapp has his ideas.
Senator Crane his theories and the
democratic members have a variety
of ideas, more or less elastic and more
or less inspired by partisan motives.
1t will be seen, therefore, that the real
trouble lies in the fact that the friends
of railroad control are standing in
their own light by failing to agree
upon any proposition. They are in
the majority in the committee. They
profess to be aiming at the same mark
and yet their points of view are so
widely. separated that they cannot
reach common ground even for start.
Members Cannot Get Together.
If the friends of railroad control
could agree upon a bill or agree upon
any course, it would be possible to
bring the matter to speedy conclu-
sion. The chairman, If requested by
la majority of the membership would
lbe Obliged to call the committee to-
lgether and If the majority could then
agree upon course OF action or upon
a composite bill or single measure, it
would be possible to obtain vote and
report bill even though some of the
members antagonistic to comforting
upon the interstate commerce commits
sion the power to fix rates were alb
sent.
! What Senator Dolliver desires is
that Chairman Elkins should call a
meeting Of the committee for every
day and take the proposition up in a
serious, business-like manner and
thrash it out until a conclusion Is
reached A weekly session Of the
committee for period of about nine
,ty minutes, obviously, can accomplish
but little under the most favorable
circumstances and absolutely no pro-
gress can be expected under prevail
ing conditions.
1t looks as though, the obstacles In
ne 1s i = e'a open se as
MO fact, 1t is predicted that when
I III gets into the senate that there
be no unnecessary delay and that
enable expedition may be looked
