Senator Nelson's Recommends
tiOns. .-'

Senator Nelson $ answer to criticism
against his Immunity BATH amend
ment to the anti trust law is to advo-
cate a similar provision in the state
railroad law In his St. Paul speech
Saturday night he explained some fea-
lures Of the immunity proposition that
have escaped the notice Of his critics.
Under our present law the state rail
road commission is supposed to have
authority to produce witnesses, books
and papers held by railroad companies,
but when crucial question is up, the
railroad officials only need to plead
that they are not compelled to give tes-
timony that will tend to incriminate
them. The way is blocked and the
state runs into an impasse.
By Senator Nelson s proposition, the
vailroad commission law should be sup
pIemented with an amendment provid-
ing that witnesses shall be immune
from prosecution under any evidence
they may disclose themselves. Then
sAey can be compelled to disclose tes-
&imony that will give the state needed
Reformation. This testimony may also
incriminate officials who were not called
as witnesses, and are, therefore, not
immune.
This was the object Of the immunity
provision introduced by Senator Nelson
into the federal laws. The so-called
tnmunity bath is only means for for
;GnU reluctant officials tn tnstifv nv
ysbbing them Of grounds for refusal.
rhe senior senator also favors an act
So expedite appeals in railroad cases
similar to the federal law under which
the courts rush consideration Of anti
trust and interstate commerce law pros
ecutions. In taking this stand the SEN
ator once more proves his qualities as
student Of Legislation and a construc-
tive statesman.

And the paying up Of those bets.
Food Problem in Germany.

The German kaiser has his troubles
and they are not light ones. William
the Sudden stands for divine right
and the kingly personality pre-eminent.
His views seem archaic to people Of the
western continent as to many advanced
thinkers in his own country. But Will
liam stands also for the development
of Germany and, indeed, the fatherland
never has ranked so high and never
has made such wonderful strides in. the
world S. commerce and industry as Of
late years.. His reign will; show. an
economic progress unsurpassed. -
The socialists are the kaiser's espe-
cial aversion. just now they are drag
ging across his path Of military and
commercial glory the ghostly carcasses
of the $4,000 horses and 1900 dogs
eaten by his humber subjects during
the past year. The use of horsefesh in
Germany, France and elsewhere in Eu-
rope is common enough to pass with
out comment, but it must be discour-
aging and disgusting thing for the
kaiser to contemplate the condition otS
a population reduced, in its poorest
components, to the extremity of eating
dog to satisfy the craving for meat
Our country or other. western export
ing countries could send into Germany
good meat, at prices that would enable
the rapidly increasing industrial popu-
lation to live much better and more
cheaply. This, of course, would hurt
German agricultural interests, and as
the agrarians have the upper hand in
affairs, they keep the duties high. It
is true that were there no duties Ger
man agriculture would suffer and the
value of lands would shrink materially
Nevertheless, the question Of lowering
the duties is always being agitated,
for the consumption of meat in Ger
many is necessarily increasing and as
the duties make imports small home
producers are profting, but the tribute
is wrung from the working people.
England could not maintain her agri-
culture and her industrial supremacy
and she killed agriculture that she
might the better rule the trade and
commerce Of the world. Germany has
tried to straddle the question, but the
time is not far ahead when it will again
be to the fore. The kaiser seeks to
spread German commerce around the
world and make his country eminent
in industry, and indeed she has made
such great strides that England's su-
premacy is threatened. But if the Ger
man workers are to make the goods
that are to maintain the fame Of Ger
many they must be decently and suf-
fciently fed.
This is the great question Germany
has to face. Ever since the Franco
Prussian war humiliation Of France and
the payment to Germany Of the great
indemnity, she has gone on expanding
industrially, with only one temporary
recession. Her nobility comprises very
largely the agrarian party which stands
for high duties, protection to German
fields and forests, promotion of Ger
man agriculture and the maintenance
Of the old conditions, but her cities

CAMPAIGNS of Education.

The educational value of a great

American people ought to be- grateful.
The vituperative campaigns Of ante
war times, tho they exceeded in person
al feeling anything we have have had
since the war;, yet educated and in
formed the people on the great issue.
Most of the speeches which were de-

probably deservedly so. They served
their local and contemporary purpose
and were gone. But occasionally ad-
dresses were delivered then as now
which made their way into literature.
The Lincoln-Douglas debate was of
that character and we have had some
speeches in later days which, while
they did not rank with these in intensity
Of interest have set even a higher liter

Several Of the larger companies are not
included in the list, 50 that the actual
payments to date considerably exceed
$100, 100000. and this is not the end Of

thus already received more than double

ADJUSTMENTS
Lyceum-nRlue Jeans. !,

Mel lran1a; disguised ass rural comedy,
IL TN. Offering sof \ hs n ,raNleys at the
Lyce,,n this. week Blue Jeans cons
sists of FIVE acts of eight seer es,s a real
buzz saw, a. live calf, 81 plot which takes
three hours and twenty minutes to pass
a given point and a little genuine hui
man interest, which has to be diluted In
order to go around. .4 In presenting this
spectacle, warranted never to wear out,
the Frawleys fell considerably below
their usual quality at the opening per-
Torrance last night This, however, did
not prevent their playing to sizable
house and receiving vociferous applause.
Briefly. Perry Basconhe, who is either
the hero or the villain. as you choose to
look at 1t. is married to one or both of
two women, nobody knows which until
the final scene Of the last act. This is
| the plot of the story, all the rest is incl
dental. T. Daniel Frawley plays this role
and it is played as we'll ais that fact
| would indicate. When unencumbered by
| the buzz saw, the calf or the citizens of
Rising Sun, Ind, Mr.. Frawley acts with
his usual forceful restraint. His love
scenes with June are full Of grace and
sentiment.
June, a Walt from the pOOrhouse, who
makes her entrance over the fence in the
| first act, and then proceeds to wound a
man and kill a COW with a misdirected
charge Of No. shot, fired from a ~
caliber rifle, Is the heroine of the play,
and, as impersonated by Miss Consuelo
Bailey, is mighty attractive heroine.
Miss Bailey starts with comedy and,
! with her outlandish costume and sharp
| wit, scores a decided hit. Later in the
play. she has a chance to appear in cos
tunes which make her look decidedly
stunning and to do some more serious
| work. To her credit it should be said
| that her art rises superior to the calf,
tho 1t does falter a bit at the buzz saw.
AS the loyal wife, who believes in her
| husband In the face Of overwhelming
evidence of his guilt, Shells sweetly pa
thettc, and her scene before the fire with
little Ruth Monroe, who takes the part
of her child, is remarkably pretty stage
picture. ..
George Hassel makes a good Jacob
Tutewiler, and Cornelia Hollinshead does
| well as his wife, Cindy.# Miss Lillian
Ethel Norris is as dashing and vicious as
could be wished in the role of Sue Eudale,
the village adventures. AS Colonel
Henry Clay Risener, the local politician,
Charles Macdonald is far, from satisfac-
tory. Miss Christine Hill and Eugene
Reed are farcial enough as Samanthea
Hawkins and her BOBBY son.
When the Frawleys have put on this
offering few more times and worked up
a bit more speed and team work the play
promises to be all that could be asked
by the admirers of zthe rural melodrama
