Muck Rakers Did Not Deter
Senator Elkins From Doing
What He Considered Right

age than he would have been driven
from their purpose by the muck-rak-
ers and the short lived whillwind of
opposition they stirred up. and tlat
by giving them a willing ear the peo-
pie of West Virginia might have de-
feated the very provisions Of the bill
that mean most to them
Meets Widespread Approval.
II is a significant fact that no
amendment to the Hepburn bin in
the Senate that was put to yea and
nay vote carried by such an over
whelming vote as tae one offered by
Senator Elkins prohibiting interstate
carriers from Transporting products in
which they are interested except as
common carriers This amendment is
the one which seeks to limit railroads
to their legitimate functions OF COM
mon carriage. The vote stood 81 to
6 in its favor. That represents about
the proportion of the approval it
meets with everywhere. Senator's ap-
proved it in debate and said that they
regarded it as being one Of the most
important and valuable features of the
bill. In opening the discussion Sena-
tor Elldns himself said that in his
judgment railroads should be limited
strictly to their legitimate function of
transporting passengers and freight
for pay. and that was the purpose OF
the amendment. Senator Dryden said
that the question was one so far
reaching that it could affect every
household. Senator Dolliver said that
he regarded it as being the most far
advanced in connection with rate leg
islation. Senator Bailey said that not
in the history of legislation had any
greater good been sought TO be ac-
compliShed. Senator Lodge said that
he thought it of more Importance than
all the local Determinations which
the Hepburn bill undertakes to cure.
Senator Tillman said that it involved
vital question and consideration of
as OF the utmost importance Sena-
tor Rayner said that it is some of the
best legislation in the bill And tae
President hinSelff congratulated Sen.
ator Elkins and approved the amend
ment Such unanimity of opinion

Republicans alike is seldom command

to me, however, that the recently orga-

hit upon better method OF encouraging
the union OF school and community In
the matter OF q library. The Executive
Committee of the Association proposes
to appoint representative in each

opportunities for general reading by pu-s
pills must BE- felt by all wide awake

Opportunities in the higit-schools and
