HOW the New Rate Law Will
Regulate the Railroad


Washington, d. C.-The Rate bill, if
sustained by the United States Su-
preme Court, will make Governmental
control of the railroads reasonably eff
fective. The measure is not nearly so
drastic as Senators Tillman and La
Toilette sought to make it. 1t is CON
sidered a good conservative step in the
direction of compelling transportation
companies to desist from discrimna-
ton.
The bill empowers the Interstate
Commerce Commission, comprising five
members as at present to fix maxi
mum rate whenever it is alleged that a
charge made by railroad company is
unjust or unreasonable The commits
sion may enforce its orders through the
courts.
These rates, so fixed, may be re-
viewed to fullest extent by courts.
Before rate can be suspended inter
locutory decree notice Of five days and
hearing before three judges are neces-
sary
Rate fixed and passed upon goes into
effect within thirty days and may re-
main in force for two years.
Commission may fix joint through
rates and part rail and part water
rates.
Railroads and carriers are prohibited
from dealing in commodities they
carry.
Pipe lines, private car lines, express
companies and palace car companies
are made common carriers.
Rebates are punished by imprison
ment to either party or fines Of from
$1,000 to $4,000.
A person soliciting or compelling a
rebate may also be fined three times
the amount Of rebate.
Railroads must keep uniform set Of
books, accessible to commission at all
times
Railroads must also make uniform
reports.
Giving of interstate passes except in
stated cases prohibited.
Commissions may compel switch and
siding connections.
After rate commission made is sus.
pended or injunction made permanent
appeal shall lie direct to the Supreme
Court.
Damage done to goods sent over a
joint through route shall be borne by
the initial carrier.

MINERS WIVES RAID BANK.

Spectacular Run on Savings Institu-
ton When They Hear President is Ill.
Cumberland, Md.-Several hundred
excited women caused spectacular
run on the Homecoming Savings Bank
at Homecoming. The bank met all de-
mands, keeping open after hours. Bus
mess men paid no attention to the
alarm of the small depositors, one man
depositing $17O0 when the run was at
its height.
1t is thought the run was caused by
the illness of its President David
Sloan, also President Of the Maryland
Bankers Association, who is in Balti-
more being treated for diabetes. The
small depositors feared that his death
might interfere with the bank. The
women largely attend to business. their
husbands being employed during the
day in the mines.

The lingerie blouse appears to gain
in favor week by week and month by
month. It is worn at all seasons OF
the year, is always daintily charming
and fills so many needs as to be a first
favorite This one is made in quite
novel fashion and affords opportunity
for the embroidery, which makes such
an essential feature OF the season, and
which always gives an air of elegance
and distinction to any garment. In
the illustration the material is hand
kerchief linen and the banding is Val
enciennes lace, but the model can be
utilized for all the materials that are
used for blouses Of the sort, and also
makes most satisfactory one for the
entire costume, made from any pretty
fabric of the season, figured and
lowered as well as plain. The tucked
portions over the shoulder make dis
tinct innovation, while below them the
waist is arranged to be beeomingly
full at the same time that the plain
space for embroidery is left at the
front
The waist is made with a narrow
yolk, to which the front and back por-
tons are attached. The tucked por-
tons are arranged over the whole and
the material beneath the tucks is cut
away to give the desired transparent
effect. The closing is made invisible
at the back. The sleeves are the ac-
cepted ones of the season. moderately

BURTON'S "POLITICS."

Writing of Senator Burton, in the
Pittsburg Kansan, w. II. T. Wake
field says that for six years he officed
next room to Burton and that the door
between their offices was seldom
closed, and that Burton spent much
of his time at Wakefield's editorial
desk.
He SAYS that Burton came to Kan
sas a democrat, but joined the republi-
can party because it was the only way
to get into politics; that he was a
great student and understood econom-
les well, being a great reader and in
yestigator of radical books, and in
private conversation expressed the
most radical sentiments, saying that
they were necessary parts of honest
government and the people should
have them enacted into law. Then he
would fall into a meditative mood
and say:
but how in and - nation
are you going to give it to them
The gibbering idiots don't know a
thing on earth correctly, and forget
It in a month If they do. To try to
help the common people is to sign
your political death warrant, and
am not in the Jesus Christ business.
When the people quit voting for their
enemies and stop crucifying their saw
iors I will be with them to the bitter
end, but how can you help men who
won't help themselves ?"-Appeal to
Reason.

HALEY FOR JUDGESHIP.

The Oregon Daily Journal in speak
ing of the probability that Justice T.
G. Haley will become a candidate for
the office of supreme judge, says:
Many people of considerable politi-
cal independence will feel inclined to
vote to keep Judge Haley on the su-
preme court bench, if he should be .
candidate, as it is only square deal >
for one democrat out of three judges
to occupy this position.
Apparently his only opponent will
be Circuit Judge Eakin, who mas held
his present position for considerable
number of years, and is considered a
very worthy man therein.
But we think quite a general senti-
ment will arise in eastern Oregon,
from which section of the state the
next supreme judge will, by common
consent, be chosen, in favor of the
election Oh JuuBe E1dhty, anu lilis
without any inimical feeling, politi-
cally or other wise, toward Judge Ea-
kin, who doubtless can retain his seat
on the circuit bench in his district as
long as he chooses-though as to
that the voters up there will decide.
But we hope Judge HALEY will con-
sent to be a candidate, and that he
will be elected. He is a comparative
ly young man; he is an exceptionally
clean and clear-headed man, as
lawyer and otherwise; and his cleo
ton would give at least sentimental
balance to the supreme court bench,
politically that for years, it has
lacked.
So we doubt if Judge Eakin's can
didacy. with all due respect to him as
a man and judge, will be generally
supported by even the republicans of
Eastern Oregon.

and margins had to be covered. even
il the money cost above 100 per cent
Such a condition Of the market has
been always associated with a panic
that became general, That this is
not the case now is due to the sound
ness of our finances and the stability
of legitimate or non-speculatlve busi-
ness.
Some papers have criticized the
secretary of the treasury for not COM
ing to the rescue by releasing treas
ury funds. Secretary Shaw is an ex-
perienced banker He knows the diff
ference between speculative distress
and the stress of the regular business
of the country and sees no necessity
of opening the federal treasury to pay
margins on stocks.
Unless the matter spread, to the
peril of the regular busines of the
country, the secretary will let the
spectators take care of themselves.
The money that will be released by
the semi-annual dividend, next week,
will put the market in its normal con-
dition again.
An interesting incident of the fur
ry was furnished by Russell Sage. He
is in his 91st year, and had been for
some time housed at home by illness.
But when the market went kiting he
could not resist the temptation to turn
an honest penny. Leaving his bed he
went to his downtown office and re-
mained three hours, and during that
time loaned $3O,OOO,OOO at over 100
per cent. The history of finance fur
nishes no parallel to this.
The old man, with every business
faculty alert as ever, was not fatigued
at all by the little job of lending n
good collateral the trifle of $30,OO0,.
600, but said that the experience did
him good and he felt better. No
doubt he materially relieved the street
and at the same time helped himself.
Outside of New York the money
market is in a normal condition and
the business outlook is clear of clouds.

THE SAVAGE WHO WoRSHIPS
THE BIG GUN.

Stanley, the African explorer, had
a good, faithful servant-a black man,
as ignorant as he was faithful.
Stanley also had a big gun that
carried heavy bullets and could kill
an elephant. Stanley went out, leav-
ing the gun in the corner. He came
back by accident, and found the good,
ignorant servant on his knees praying
to the gun. This is what the servant
said to the gun:
"Oh, great God, don't kill your
humble servant. ! don't know what
it is you like to eat, If l did would
give it to you. l am your most hum
Bile, obedient servant; don't kill me-"
Stanley thought this quite amusing.
But he didn't enlighten the good,
faithful black servant. He thought
it just as we'll that he should not learn
how to use a gun.
The Stanley of these days is the
political boss.
And the servant OF these days is
the ordinary voter.
And the gun of today IS THE BAL
LOT.
There are a great many men that
do not know how to use the ballot.
They amuse the political boss, and he
knows that he is quite safe from any
interference with his plans as long
as the poor, ignorant slave fails to
understand what the ballot was made
for, or how to use it,
Do you belong among the gun-wor-
shipping savages2 If so, this editor
ial will not interest you.
This column Is written for the class
of men that know at least as much as
the political boss, and usually great
deal more.
1t is true that at this moment a
of us all are more or less
slaves of the political boss.
But we can at least remember that
the big elephant gun-THE. BALLOT
is always standing in the corner.
And when the chance comes, we
can take that gun and prove that we
know HOW to use it.
We can use the ballot and do to the
boss what the big gun does to- the
elephant or the thick-skinned rhinuc-
erous.-Boston Commercial.

LONGEVITY AND LIQUOR.

1t has come to be generally recog-
rized as a fact that the alcoholic
habit is one of the main factors in
determining length of life. F'gvres

of the total abstainer is nine years
longer than that of the drinker, and

that the death rate among moderate"
consumers of liquor is % per cent

"THE VIRGINIAN" WEEDS.

Miss Katherine Adams, of San
Francisco, became the bride of "The
Virginian" yesterday. He need no
longer be nameless. for the records
tell that he is John Henry Hicks, and
that his residence is Ell Paso, Texas.
Mr.. Hicks is modest about the COM

friends give all the interesting details
OF the long visit paid by the clever
novelist to the great ''T. o." ranch
of which Mr.. Hicks is manager.
Miss Adams is the second daughter
of Edward F.. Adams, editorial writer
on the San Francisco Chronicle. She
met Mr.. Hicks two years ago when
she was teaching a training school at
Tempe, A. T. She was graduated from
Stanford University, class '03.
The couple left en- route to their
home almost on the edge of a wilder
ness.
The designation Ell Paso, Texas
does not give the slightest idea where
Mr.. and Mrs. Hicks will live. For

fine reserve, John Henry Hicks is all
