view is that this amendment should
have provided generally the powers
and duties of the commission and then
further provided that the commission
should have such other powers and
duties as the legislature shall confer
upon it just as the house amendment
to your bill provides. In that way we
would be on absolutely safe ground
and all interests could always be pro-
tected
But there is a greater vice in your
amendment than all this. You say
that it was your purpose when you
introduced the bill to leave the pow
ers and duties of the commission en-
tirely with the legislature. Why, then,
did you not provide in the amendment
something like this,
"The powers and duties of the COM
mission shall be such as the legisla-
ture shall confer upon the commits
sion."
If you had so provided, then the
legislature could confer upon the COM
mission power to regulate and con-
troll telephone, telegraph and express
companies. 1t could have without
question conferred power upon the
commission to fix both freight and
passenger rates. In other words thefe
would have been no limitation or re-
striction of any kind upon the legls-
lature in comforting powers upon this
commission. But you didn't put in
any such provision. The following is
your provision:
"The powers and duties of such
commission shall include the regula-
ton of rates, service and general con-
troll of common carriers as the legis-
lature shall provide by law
Under that provision could the legis-
iature ciothe this commission with
power to regulate and control tele-
phone telegraph and express COM
panies? No, because your amend
ment restricts the commission to the
regulation" of common carriers.
Your amendment in this respect not
only confers no such power upon this
commission, but positively restricts
the legislature from doing so. But
that isn't all. We must remember
there is a difference between discrlm-
nation in rates and extortion in rates.
1t is one thing to prevent discrimlna-
ton in rates and it is quite another
thing to fix rates. We don't want
one merchant or one city to receive
better rates than their competitors.
This commission should have power,
of course, to stop that. But suppose
rate is too high and is extortionate.
Did you intend by your amendment
to give to this commission the power
to ascertain what a reasonable rate
is and then fix and establish that rate?
Do you claim that the commission
could exercise the power to fix rates,
under the amendment, even II the
legislature should confer such power
Your amendment says that "the
powers and duties of such commits
sion shall include the regulation OF
rates as the Legislature
shall provide by law" Suppose the
legislature now shall pass law Civ
ing the commission power to actually
fix rates, could the commission, under
the word regulation" exercise that
power and fix rates? This is the most
important question about your whole
amendment. Can it be that this
amendment, instead of giving relief
to the people, is a law that will alb
solutely protect the railroads from
legislation that will relieve the people

Turn back the wrist over the back Of

This should be done slowly. taking

Hearst on Bryan's Friends.

OF course everybody understands
that the Bryan boom which is again
having its little day in the Democratic
camp is not inspired SO much by any
love felt for Bryan by the leaders of
the party as it is by fear and hatred
of Hearst. And now humor is added
to the situation by solemn assertion
on the part of Mr. Hearst. that for
many years he has been "a sincere
friend and earnest supporter of Mr.
Bryan" He approves of every hon
or hand. Mr. Hearst is confident that
Mr.. Bryan will repudiate utterly
these men and their professions of
friendship" Who these men" may
be no one is left in doubt and this is
where the very Hearst of it comes in.
He amiably slashes to right and to left
in behalf of his dear friend Bryan refer

certain eminent democrats. He would

fight. in short. seems reduced to the
question of who shall be allowed to be

Both England and Germany have
active organizations whose object is
the prevention of premature burial
The English society has just held it's
annual meeting and one of the papers
read told of 3S4 instances of prema-
ture burial, all verified by medical men.
Cruesome instances were given of the
embalming of live bodies. and of
numerous escapes from dissection
now proposing a law providing that no
death certificate be given without IA
personal inspection and examination
by Il qualified officer. and is advocating
the erection of waiting mortuaries
throughout the country similar to those
In Germany. In support of the later
scheme many remarkable resuscita-
tfDns are cited. The most astonishing,
perhaps. is that of the body of a little
girl who was left in the mortuary for
"a hours: i'm the morning the care
taker entering found the child alive
and playing with the flowers on her
covering sheet. This is one of the
least narrowing and gruesome of the
tales related Cremation seems to be

1t is high compliment to our
to be chosen by China to represent it
at the peace conference at the Hague
which Is to open next May. This is
the second time that China has hon
ored Mr.. Foster and showed her con-
fidence i'm him. She joined his SER
vices to those of the late Ii Hung

of Shinonoseki with Japan in 1886
the treaty that Russia tore up i'm order
to get possession of Fort Arthur. In
his personal views Mr.. Forter does not
represent the present policy of China
One of the main efforts of China at
this time is to organize and equip a
strong army on modern lines. whereas
the former secretary of state holds
that most countries would he better
off if they should reduce their existing
ornaments. But many things go by
opposites in the Far East, and neither
raised by this difference of view.
China has selected Mr. Foster because
she likes his Judgment. as well as his
other qualities, and she will be con-
tent to be represented as he chooses.
1t is a great compliment thus to be
chosen twice for special service by an
old Asiatic state. and Mr. Foster is to
be congratulated upon having won the
confidence of China.
