PRESIDENTS VIEW TAKEN.
Measures introduced for Effective In
yestigation Of Railway Evils.

A resolution and bill designed to cure
the defects President Roosevelt pointed out
In the Tillman resolution for the investiga-
ton by the interstate commerce commits
sion of railroad Determinations and monop-
olies were introduced yesterday In the
House The resolution was introduced by
Representative Townsend of Michigan and
the bill by Representative Gillespie of
Texas Mr. Townsend's resolution provides
an appropriation of $4,000 to carry on the
investigation, and the Gillespie bill makes
an appropriation of 100000 for the same
purpose.
The Townsend resolution provides that
the interstate commerce commission shall
have under the Tillman-Gillespie resolution
all the powers to subpoena witnesses to
compel them to testify and to produce doc
umentary evidence which 1t enjoys under
the interstate commerce act. 1t also pro-
vldes that witnesses shall enjoy the same

the Gillespie bill.
Under the Gillespie bill the interstate
commerce commission is permitted to avoid
the duplication of Investigations bs- the fell

RIGHTS OF THE SENATE.
Constitutional Debates That Will
Rank With the Best.

II is the judgment OF nearly all senator's
who have given attention to the subject
that there have been two debates In the
Senate this session which will rank with
the best that have been heard in the cham
Der One was between Senators Bacon and
Spooner upon the rights of the Senate and
the executive in the matter of advice and
consent in the making OF treaties; the
other was between Patterson and Bailey
upon the right of a caucus to control a SEN
ator's vote on a treaty or other public
question. More interest was aroused In the
Patterson Bailey debate because the ques-
tIon was one which involved not only pol
tiles, but personality. The contest between
Bacon and Spooner, however. really
more important. and will be OF more per-
manent value. II will live because of the
constitutional questions which were dis
CuSsed. Both are constitutional lawyers or
high rank IN body which abounds in men
who are familiar with all that pertains to
the historic document. 1t Is true that
neither the public, the press. nor any large
portion of the Senate will become very
much interested in constitutional debate.
For more than century the Supreme
Court as we'll as all other courts and both
branches of Congress have been trying to
find out what the Constitution means, and
yet these constitutional questions continue
10 arise, and never seem TO be settled. The
discussion between Bacon and Spooner was
interesting In that 1t involved what had
been done BY the President in two cases,
first In putting into effect the modus VI
vendi with Santo Domingo while a treaty
was pending in the Senate and second in
sending delegates TO the Algeciras confer
snce to participate In the settlement of af-
fairs OF Morocco. This debate has been
compared to some OF those which took
place In the days when 1t was said the
Senate was composed OF giants. 1t Is
doubtful IL the giants" ever sat through
two days of better debate than the senators
of the present Congress enjoyed II is
quite commentary on the discussion that
both senators were entirely satisfied with
their efforts. which shows that their argu-
inents were largely over difference or
opinion and q different view of how the
language of the Constitution should be con-
strued
Senator Bacons position in the Senate
compels him TO take leading part In for
eign affairs and legal questions. He Is the
second democratic member OF the foreign
relations committee, and owing to the ad-
vanced years of Senator Morgan. who
ranks him, much OF the labor OF leading
minority member falls to him. Senator
Bacon is also the ranking democratic mem
bsr OF the Judiciary committee. which deals
with the great legal questions that come
before the Senate These committee duties,
IL attended to with care and fidelity. re-
quire a great deal of time. and Senator
Bacon gives everything that comes before
his committees the closest attention.

old-Fashioned Circuit Riders"

From Everybody's Magazine.
Never before was there such spreading
Of the Gospel. The aureoled saints that
converted Europe were but a feeble folk
beside them, slow stoned, temporizing.
They were unlearned men, these circuit
riders. AS one of them has said, they
murdered the kings English at every lick. :"
but they had power given unto them to
move the hearts of men, such power as
we can only estimate by first reading the
accounts Of camp-meettngs in the "airly
days" and then going to q modern one,
thinly attended and only by the very Old,
at that, and deadly with dizziness that
no brass quartet, or hired singers or re-
Iigious ballads, frequent juggling or
tawdry Gospel hymns" can Tighten In the
least degree. In the old days whole set
Elements were utterly deserted to attend
camp-meeting. and IL the rowdies came
and brought their whisky bottles and made

as Peter Cartwright calls it. (Says he: i
did not permit myself to believe that any
man could whip me till 1t was tried
But the mighty power could always be
depended on, and IL ''the slain Of the
Lord" did not keel over by the hundred

amined his heart to find out why.

Rose Culture.

From American Homes and Gardens.
Roses are great eaters. II you would
have perfect flowers. In profusion. it is inn
peratively necessary that you feed your
plants well. Nothing in the line of fertiliz-
ers suits them so well as old, thoroughly
rotted cow manure. That which Is black
and crumbles readily under the application
of the hoe Is the ideal food for this plant.
1t should be used In liberal quantities and
worked into the soil well. Fresh manure
should never be used, except as mulch.
Where manure from the cow stable eau
not be obtained. guano or benemeal can be
substituted with good results. The dealer
of whom you purchase these fertilizers Will
tell you how much to use, as he under
stands the strength of the grade he
handles. Those who live In the city will,
as a general thing, find 1t necessary to de-
pend upon one or the other OF these fer
tilizers for rose food.
Roses grown for the market In the open
ground ought. If possible. to be planted
while dormant To lift O plant after
growth begins is to give 1t a check so Sc
we're that It will be a long time in recover
Ing from 1t. Therefore. planting early In
the spring, before growth begins, or In
autumn, after II leases. Is advised. For
the harder KINDS, such as the June flower
Ing sorts and the hybrid perpetuals, con-
slider autumn planting preferable. The
very tender kinds can be held In reserve
for spring planting.

Windmills as Newspapers.
From London Tit Bits.

In Holland births, marriages and deaths.
instead OF being recorded In newspapers,
are indicated by windmills. When q miller
gets married he stops his mill with the arms
of the wheels in a slanting position and
with the sails unfurled. His friends and
guests frequently do likewise with their
mills. In token of the ceremony To indi-
cate birth the wheel Is stopped with the
arms in slanting position, but at a more
acute angle than for marriage and with
the two upper sails unfurled Should a
miller die the sails of his mill are all
fGrlcd and the wheel Is turned round until
the arms form an upright cross. In which
position they are left until after the funeral
has taken place.

mally to President Roosevelt yesterday
