Senator's who are anxious to secure some
thing on the statute books that VIII guar
antee an effective supervision OF the rail-
roads say that II Senator Elkns' amend
ment should prevail all the provisions OF
any deliberately drawn bill would not be
worth the paper on which they are printed.
But between the proposition for practf-
cally no appeal amendment and that which
has been offered by Mr.. Elkns there are
many amendments pending and many
propositions which have not yet taken the
form of amendments. on one of which, 1t
is expected. compromise may be secured
The less that Is contained In such amend
ments the more acceptable are they 10
friends of the Hepburn bill.
Advocates of the Hepburn bill do not
wish to accept any amendments. but at
the same time they realize that If 1t should
be possible for them to meet those who ia
vor an elaborate amendment half way 1t
would be much In the interest of the pas
sage of rate legislation at an early day.
Talk of Compromise Measures.
These are several senator's. Senator
Spooner. for instance. and Senator Knox,
who are being looked upon as possibly the
proposers of compromise measures that
may get enough senators In line to quick
ly dispose of the rate bill. The dispute Is
now thoroughly fixed as a mere legal propo-
sition, that the layman Is hardly able
to judge with any great degree of accuracy.
The many amendments that have been
suggested differ very slightly apparently,
but their effect to the eye of lawyer is
often very important.
The committee on interstate commerce
will not meet again until Thursday morn
ing, and until that time discussion of rate
legislation will be carried on in private
conferences. Thursday the committee will
probably proceed to vote to determine
just what sort of bill 1t will report to
the Senate, and although the advocates
of an appeal amendment express conf
dence that they will be able to report
bill to conform to their views the greater
probability is that they will meet disap-
pointment and will have to depend upon
a long debate in the Senate if they
eventually are successful.

OPEN LETTER ISSUED
In Regard to the Colonizing OF
Africa

An open letter to Congress and the peo-
pie of the United States has been issued
by W. c. Payne, bishop of the African
Colonization Church, wherein he seeks
Ito inform the world of the careful and
well devised plan of colonizing Africa. or
parts of Africa. with thrifty Christian
congregations of the negro race, not less
than 100 families at a time, who shall be
governed and directed by an apostle of
this church"
The object of the church. 1t is stated
will be the propagation of the Christian
religion among the people of Africa and
to head off European usurpation: to es-
tablish q lively commercial relationship
between this country and Africa, so that
America may grow greater by promoting
her interests in all parts of the world and
that Africa may grow greater by main
tanning a close and mutual friendship
with the worlds greatest power"
Continuing, the letter says: mo land is
SO abundantly blessed with natural riches
as is Africa, and her wealth lies dormant
beneath the soil for the want of skilled
development Her fruits and spices are
unsurpassed, her hardwoods are of the
very best quality, and the soil is strictly
adapted to the growing of sugar cane
corn. cotton. tobacco, rice, coffee and at
most every vegetable known to man. Her
minerals are coal, iron, copper, gold and
diamonds.

Roosevelt and Hearst.

The Hearst people may claim that they
have pressed the President so hard he has
taken to the woods. Everything "goes.
and the trip to pine Knot must be ex-
planned. But Mr.. Root will settle that mat
ter and other matters In his speech at
Utica. Mr.. Roosevelt. Mr.. Root and Mr..
Cortelyou are all New Workers, and en-
titled on that account to assist in the
Hughes campaign. All three want Mr..
Hughes to win, and Mr.. Root is fortified
with abundant reasons. We may expect
him. however. to meet with a warm re-
ception by the Hearst newspapers. He has
already been described by them as "a jackal
of the trusts but as the campaign has
progressed since then a new and stronger
epitbet may be considered necessary. After
the campaign is over 1t may be advisable,
in the interests of philology, to examine the
of Mr.. Hearst and his lieuten-
ants in the way of invective and vitupera-
ton to see what new twists have been given
to words and combinations of words cal
culated to make men uncomfortable and to
rattle them in the hour of strife.

No Elk Post Facto Spelling Reform.

Chief Justice Fullers exclamation when
the solicitor general quoted the late Justice
Bradley writing "thru''"rfn a decision
emphasizes one of the limitations which the
advocates of the simplified spelling must
recognize even though their modified or
biography finds universal favor. Does the
official personal adoption of the new
spelling warrant its application to the writ
ings of those who passed away before the
proposition to cut out the useless letters of
the language was preached? This question
Is especially pertinent in court, far more so
than outside of those precincts OF precision.
A judicial decision is fixed fact. an unaf-
terable document. Possibly the Chief JUS
tice had in mind the danger of permitting
even the alteration of a single letter in
quotation from the formal and official ut
terances of the highest court. If an at
torney may change the spelling Of a word
IN quoting from an authority may he not
change the word itself? There Is no
question in such a connection about the ne
cessity for rlgidly adhering to the original
text. Had Justice Bradley written honour
in his decision 1t would be necessary to
quote him as writing honour even though
that usage has long since passed ~ the
Cnited States. -..s, ,-..-
The man who quotes Chaucer writes as
Chaucer did. with all his Grange and I'M
couth combinations of useless letters and

quotes Shakespeare by undertaking his.
spelling is frowned upon as an iconociast
or gnoramus. This rule is perernptory.
A written language gains in virtue In the
degree that 1t becomes fixed in the sense of
preserving unalterable records of past ut
terances. 1t is absurd TO claim. on the
other hand, that language must never be
changed modified or adjusted to new con-
ditions. Chief Justice Fuller is not neces-
sarily to be set down with the opponents
of spelling reform because he permitted
himself the utterance OF an expressive
"Ah"' in court. He did the spelling re-
formers good service by directing their
attention to the fact that they must not re-.
form the language backward

Professor Burgess in Berlin.

Professor Burgess Is a scholar or high
repute. and a man of serious purpose and
of dignity. But If he had had only the
aim OF an everyday advertiser in opening
his course of lectures in Berlin he could
not have hit upon better means of ac-
complishing his purpose than those he
adopted. 1t was clever in the extreme to
"tolly" his hosts about both the tariff and
the Monroe doctrine and recommend him
self as an individual to their friendliest
favor That he has done we may be
sure He will be heard during his stay by
large classes, and also be the recipient
otherwise of much attention. German
scholars, and German statesmen. and Ger
man students will alike be at pains to
give to so great an admirer of Germany
and her people assurances of their dis
tlnguished consideration.
But there the matter will halt. The Ger
mans know of their own experience, the
difference between theory and practice
Doctrines proclaimed with confidence and
eloquence from the chairs of learned pro-
fessors at universities do not guide legis-
lators in the reichstag. By the time they

their original champions hardly know them

quarter. Many learned tracts were put out

To them it was as plain as daylight-as
simple as a, b, C. But protection still holds
the boards. The policy today. indeed. is

munity as a wrong move, out of line with
the avowed purpose to produce a model
terminal.
The same is true in the matter of the UNI
brella Sheds which have finally been ap-
proved by the Commissioners. 1t Is claimed
for these sheds that they are better than
the old canopy style Of train shed. iaas-
much as they will permit the escape-of
the smoke and gas emitted by the locomo-
tives. Again the reason alleged for the
departure from original plans tends to les
sen the chance of abating the railroad
smoke nuisance short Of legislative pro-
cess.
The public begins to fear that the rail-
road company. having adopted building
material that will not easily foul and train
shed that will not choke the passengers. will
feel that 1t has solved the smoke problem
and will not be disposed to adopt nom
smoke emitting power. Yet there is every
reason why 1t should go directly at this
matter now. and by providing In advance
for either electric or hard coal power within
the city make absolutely certain Of produc-
ing in truth a model railroad terminal
This Washington station, attractive as It
may be in ARCHITECTURAL design and in mate
rial and in appointments. will remain
disgrace to American railroading If 1t Is
maintained upon the old basis Of dense
smoke and gas emission.
If the railroads are earnest In their desire
to evolve here at Washington a terminal
establishment which will reflect credit upon
them and establish standard for the coun-
try. they must solve this smoke problem.
Thus far what they have done has indicated
that they are disposed to permit the loco
motives to continue to belch forth their
poisonous and discoloring vapors and walt
for Congress to compel observance of
the laws of health and property.
