PhladeIpnl6 RECORD.
Though Senator La Follette's suggestions
are treated with studied neglect, one might
almost say contempt by his republican
colleagues, many Of his projects OF legis-
lation are worth careful attention. The
amendments offered by him to the Ohio
and Lake Erie ship canal bill are of this
character. One of them provides against
overcapitslization and the other for an
investigation by the Interstate Commerce
commission, aided by experts Of the true
and fair value OF the projected canal; the
investigation to begin soon as any
work on the canal shall be undertaken and
may be made. Inasmuch as the bill con-
templates the acquisition of the canal at
some future time by the United States, the
government ought to keep itself informed
about the value Of the property for which
IT will some day be called upon to pay.

would supply the only fair basis for de-
termining what are reasonable and fairly
renumerative" rates OF transportation. It
would be Furthermore a safeguard against
the over-issue of bonds and capital stock.
A more certain means OF making capitali-
cation represent actual investment and OF
preventing the government from being
overreached when II shall ultimately take
possession OF the waterway could not be
devised. similar provision ought to be
embodied in the charter of every public
utility company whose plant and equip
ments are contemplated at some time to
revert to the government of cities or states
or OF the United States.

Veteran Champion of Reform.


Norris Brown, candidate for United
States senator, opened his campaign with
a public speech at York last Saturday.
He called attention to the necessity OF
proper government regulation of the rail-
roads and the danger Of permitting these
to exert too dominating an influence in
state politics. Well and good. 1t should
be noted, however. that the reforms which
have now won such popularity with the
people and the advocating OF which Mr..
Brown expects to land him in the United
States senate are the very same reforms
for which Mr.. Rosewater has made valiant
battle for years-long before they gained
a standing as prominent issues in the re-
publican platform. II a champion OF these
reforms shall represent Nebraska In the
senate, would II not be most At that It be

discrimination. The giant frecracker
and dangerous bomb are absolutely
prohibited within the range OF the mu-

is confined within the city limits. but
anyone from out of town may buy all
the dangerous toys he can pay for. OF
course a dynamite cracker is not half
so deadly when exploded out in the
suburbs as It is when exploded within

asking to be sent to Lincoln and for
the right of every man aspiring to
serve as a delegate to have an equal
chance OF election with every other as
piring delegate irrespective of prefer
ences for senator or for any other
office. That was a good enough Nor
gan to spring upon the court, but now
the sacred rights OF the individual
voter and OF the independent delegate
no longer cut any figure. The Fonta-
nellie bosses would like to force all the
Independents on the ticket arbitrarily
so that their official slate makers may
prescribe the dose. for bat-blind fol-
lowers. II begins to look as IL that
