articles needed for the plant. The cost or

supplies purchased amounts to nearly
81. 100000 year.
The establishment has very comprehen-
sive system for handling the supplies used
during the year, and the boards OF award
appointed by the public printer are In
structed to consider quality as well as cost
In making their selections. Samples are
tagged with a number corresponding to the
entry of the bidders name, and the COM
mittees do not know by whom the samples
are submitted. The general supplies utilized
at the office are said to incluGe mouse traps,
milk. eggs. -four, syrup, disinfectants, shoe
laces and many other articles most OF
which are used in the processes of book
binding and similar operations of the plant.

MR.. MELLEN'S SPEECH
On the Hepburn Rate Measure
at Hartford.
INSTRUMENTATION OF 1T
Worst Piece of Legislation That Had
Attracted His Attention.
REPUBLICAN SENATORS TALK
They Say There Need Be No Fear
That 1t Will Not Be
Amended.

Republican senators were discussing with
some interest today the alleged remarks
about the Hepburn rate bill by President
Mellen of the y. Y, NH. and H. railroad,
in a public address at Hartford last night
as published in a New York paper today.
Significance was attached to the speech be-
cause of the fact that President Mellen, as
the head of the greatest railway system
in New England, has been pointed out as
the stanch supporter of President Roose-
vet's campaign for railroad rate legislation.
In his speech last night President Mellen
reiterated his opinion that regulative legis-
lation of a certain character Is necessary,
but he declared that the Hepburn bill did
not meet the requirements. On the con-
trary, he characterized 1t as most pernicious
legislation. one of the worst pieces that had
attracted his attention. In that connection
he said.

The Hepburn Bill.

THE bill is so bad and is so full of evil
possibilities (regarding which 1 am disposed
to believe some one of its advocates have
been imposed upon) it will probably over
shoot the mark. and a careful eXamlnatio
causes me to speculate whether it may not
have been cunningly devised by some one
opposed to all legislation. So utterly sub
versive is ii of all principles of justice. SO
utterly regardless is it of all warrant in
constitutionality. arbitrary and auto
cratic is it in its provisions regarding urim-
portant matters that il may we'll be be-
lieved it was the design to cause disgust,
distrust and antagonisrn among all right
thinking and fair-minded men.
such a result would be misfortune to
railroads and to the public. for 1 have al
ways advocated. and still do, the need of
additional legislation.
THE power of the railroads is too great
to be longer permitted to be exercised with
out greater restraint in the interest OF the
public. Directors do not always direct, Off
Gals are not always competent. power long
exercised makes men offensive, autocratic
and arbitrary, and stockholders, employees
and the public suffer and pay the bill"

Republican Senator'S Comment.

Republican senators said today that
President Meilcn need not fear lest the
Hepburn bill will not be amended They
said that since the bill was jammed through
the House under whip and spur of popular
demand the necessity for amendment has
become apparent on all sides. Even Presi-
dent Roosevelt is convinced that the bill in
its present form would be open to serious
OBJECTION and possibly to fatal analysis by
the Supreme Court
President Mellen's innuendo as to posi-
bility of the bill having been 'cunningly
devised by some or opposed to all legisla-
ton is not quite understood by the SEN
ators, in view of the authorship of the
measure. Chairman Hepburn OF the House
committee drew up the bill, aided by Sen
atOr Dolliver, and the interstate commerce
commission planned and Endorsed the frame
work.
Senators cannot understand how Presi-
dent Mellen could think that with such
watchful eyes upon the bill any one could
have slipped in Joker" although that
has been more than limited by several dem
ocrats in debate No one acquainted with
the situation doubts that Chairman Hep
burn Of the House committee on Interstate
cate of reguative legislation and senator's
cannot credit the suggestion that the inter-
state commerce commission doesn't know
what it is about in recommending the legIs-

Must Fail or Be Amended.


dent Mellen took another fling as follows:
1T will be infinitely more to the advan-
tage of the country if those in authority
enforce the laws now in existence until
their lnadequacy is apparent rather than
assumed, and evidence their sincerity by
acts and deeds rather than by assertion OF
what they would do if only granted more
authority.
IF a square deal Is more than a well
sounding phrase, If the Senate of the United
States was constituted as safe and sane
barrier against misguided and temporary
popular clamor, the noise of numbers. the
misdirected zeal of those who wish to dt-
vide with those who have that which they
nave not (the socialists, the anarchists, the
mob, then such a measure as this must
fail or be radically amended before be-
coming law.
1T appears to me that the President IS
advised of great wrongs that have been
perpetrated in the past by the carriers ana
wishes to prevent the possibility of a re-
currence of anything of the kind, and in
this purpose we should all hold up mis-
hands and give him our support and 10
one is more Loyalty disposed to do his ut

In sincere, frank and welded to no par

MEXICO is LEARNING.
The American Way of Living IL

The American Way of Living Ii
Tnkin. n Deep Hold On People.
The study Of English is compulsory
In the Mexican public schools. Every
year Mexico sends to the United
States number OF school teachers to
study American pedagOgic methods,
says Edward McConley in the Ameri-
can Monthly Review of Reviews. A
great many Mexican children are be-
ing educated in the schools and COL
leges of this country, where formerly
they were sent to Europe. The num-
Der of Mexican visitors to the United
States and the number Of American
visitors to Mexico is increasing every
year 1t is said that Yucatecans know
New York better than the City of Mex
leo and that west-coast Mexicans are
more at home in San Francisco than in
their own capital city. Thus, each
year the American way Of living is
taking a deeper hold on the Mexican
people.
The Vice President of Mexico and
announced successor Of President
Diaz is very much Americanized in
his ideas. In fact, he might easily be
mistaken for plain, shrewd American
business man from his appearance,
manner and methods. He has always
been exceedingly friendly toward
Americans. AS Governor of the State
OF Sonora, he encouraged them to in
vest in enterprises in his State and to
settle therein. He spared no effort in
seeing that their lives, property and
civil rights were protected. He is well
informed about the United States and
is student of English. He has three
daughters in school at San Francisco
and is educating all of his children in
the United States.
