No wonder the attempt to loot the
San Francisco subtreasury failed. 1t
was an impulsive, poorly planned and
consequently coarse piece of work
The approved method of going after
Government funds is by means of an
appropriation, or by the judicious let
ting of a contract-Indianapolis

Testimony given before the inter-
state commerce commission in Phila-
delphia shows that all classes OF rail
road men, from a former president of
the Pennsylvania company to clerks
shared in the gifts of coal mining
stock The Pennsylvania Railroad
announces that thorough investiga-
ton will follow
The house will not concur in all |
the amendments hitched onto the
Hepburn rate bill by the senate. This
will result in the appointment of a.
conference committee consisting of
an equal number of members from
the two houses The committee will
then corhe to an agreement that will |
meet the approval of the house as
well as the senate A bill thus agreed
upon will doubtless meet the approx
al of the president as we'll as the
senate.
When the rate bill was being de-
bated in the senate Mr. McLaurin |
offered an amendment prohibiting
the running of all railroad trains en-
gagged in interstate commerce bel
tween the hours of sunrise and sunset
on the Sabbath day Mr. McLaurin
read several verses from the TWEEN
tieth chapter of Exodus in which
work of all kinds was forbid ZEN on
the Sabbath. Il want every senator
to realize said he, 4that in casting
negative vote he is voting against
the tenth COMMUNICATIVE
the Sabbath day to keep it holy"
The amendment was voted down
without any senator showing knowl-
edge that the Mississippian had mix

The attention of Chancellor Day
of Syracuse University is respectfully
called to the testimony of Mr.. Will
holt in the Standard Oil investiga-
ton. Mr.. Day conveys the impress
sion that he believes the Standard
to be semi-sacred institution, and
says President Roosevelt is an an
archist because he attacks its meth
DDS. Mr.. Without, swearing to what
he knows, testifies that the Standard
is swindler and corrupter of pub
lie and private morals Mr.. Day wi.
dislike very much TO be forced TO the
conviction that the large contribu-
tons made by Mr.. Archbold of the
Standard to the university were faint
ed money, but if he listens to the
Governments witnesses with an open
mind that experience may be his.
Mr. Roosevelt has held his party
united on the railroad rate measure.
1t makes little difference probably
from a political standpoint that in
view of what he considered an immi-
nent danger to the measure the Pres
ident at one time sought Democratic
assistance When the Democratic
Senator'S get angry one with another
over some matter upon which united
party sentiment is sought it is their
custom TO say complainingly when
agreement fails that the Republicans,
no matter how widely separated they
may be at the outset, always seem to
get together in the end Republican
harmony history has repeated itself
in this matter of railroad rate legis-
lation, a measure which Senator Bev-
eridge declared on the floor to be the
most important bit of legislation
which Congress has considered since
the days of the civil war;
