READY TO LOSE
HIS POPULARITY
President Knows the Danger
in the Situation, but Ac-
cepts Challenge.
Dolliver Hepburn Bill Is
Viewed as the Admins
tration Measure.
BY w. w. Jermane.

wv YASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Presi-
W. dent Roosevelt has expressed
a willingness to be sacrificed
personally, provided he can secure the
enactment Of a rate bill, moderate in
character, Which will make an import
an advance toward control over the
carrying companies, now the greatest
corporate power this Country ever has
known. ~
He realizes the danger to himself that
the situation presents, and yet he &C
cepts the challenge. manfully, and, If
there should be need for it, will sur:
render his immense popularity in order
to accomplish the desired result.
The time has come when, as he says
in his last message, the government
must assert affirmatively it's rights over
the railroads in the matter of controll-
ing rates. This power is negatively as
serted in the present interstate COM
merce law, but that is not sufficient.
The time has now come when:the gov
eminent must decide whether it, or pri-
vate interests, are to control the great
avenues of transportation, and no mega
tive assertion Of the federal right is
sufficient to hold the railways in check.
There must be affirmative assertion.
Bill Will Be Epochal.
This affirmative assertion the bill,
which will be known as the administra-
ton bill, will make. It will be epochal
in character, and mark the longest
stride forward yet taken by the govern
ment in the interest Of the whole people
in rate matters. M
The railways resent this invasion Of
their long unquestioned privilege. 1t
means a imitationsof their peWers,@pos.
Fsibly a reduction Of their revenues, Ger.
tainly a reduction of their absolute
power for harm. The presence of such 9
law on the statute books would be suf'
fcient to earn for the president the
hostility Of nearly every railway mar
of influence in the country. The passage
of that bill will at once strike from
the list Of his supporters nearly every
man who is interested in railway man
agement or railway earnings, and there
are enough of such men to affect public
sentiment powerfully.
While the president is thus arrayins
the railway power against himself, he !
preparing, by the moderation which h
is exhibiting, SO far as other features
Of the railway bill are concerned, t.
invite the open and bitter opposition
Of a very large class Of the people gen
orally, of the shipping public, who, al
most without exception, outside tn
great cities, are radical in their de
mands and will not be satisfied wit
any moderate law.
Five Great Questions.
These interests seem to know nothin!
of the great affirmative idea above re
ferred to or if they know they do no
care. There are five great question
concerning rates which engross thei
; entire attention, and which they de
, mand shall be included in any bill tina
is finally passed and signed.

ROGERS BALkS AND BLOCKS
STANDARD OIL INOUISITOR
TOM LAWSON'SP PICTURE OF ROGERS
AS A FIGHTER AND AS A WITNESS.

When labor would howl its anathemas at Standard Oil, and the
Rockefeuers and other stout-hea1ted generals and captains Of this band
of merry money-makers would fall to discussing Cancellation and re-.
treat, it was always Henry II. Rogers who fired at his associates his
now famous panacea for all Standard Oil opposition: We'll see the
Standard Oil in hell before we will allow any body Of men: on earth to
dictate how we shall conduct our business s#s@E5
Standard Oil historians, are fond Of dwelling on the extraordinary
testffying abilities Of John D. Rockefeller and other members Of the
band, but the acrobatic feats Of ground and lofty tumbing in the way
of truth which they have given when before the blinking footlights of
the temples Of justice, are as Punch-and-Judy shows to- Barnum three
ring circus compared to Henry II. Rogers exhibitions.

Company Counsel Explains Why the
Books, ETC., Were Withheld.
The second witness was Charles NJ
Adams, secretary-treasurer of the Wat
ers-Pierce company. Attorney General
Hadley demanded the production also
in accordance with the supreme courts
order, Of certain books and papers Of
that company. Thereupon II. S. Priest,
OF the company's counsel, announced
that ali the documents wanted were
at hand. In submitting them he said
With all due respect to the order of
the supreme court there has been re-
slstance to submitting these books and
papers as evidence. This opposition
was made by counsel without advice
from the company.
These proceedings seek to impose
penalties on persons and corporations
The constitutions of the United States
and Of Missouri guarantee to indiyid-
uals immunity from search and seizure.
They also guarantee that persons shall
not be required to testify against them
selves or give evidence which NAV
cause penalty to be visited on them.
We think that corporations are entitled
to the same constitutional protection,
and therefore we have had the ten erf-
ty to resist the courts order. While
we may criticise the wisdom of the
ruling we will now no longer oppose
it. Therefore l produce the books asked

company bought its oil, and then III.
