Another little JOKER in the
Pack. .-

The senatorial Observation-Disclosures
Elkins and Kean, who are in the SEN
ate to do the bidding Of the great cor
porations-h been trying to effect
compromise on the rate regulation
bill. They want to follow the author
ity. given to the interstate commerce
commission to fix rates, with the privi-
lege to the railroads to appeal imme-
diately to the courts in case Of "any
injustice,'' the execution Of the order
to await the action Of the courts. A
rate made by the interstate commerce
commission under this compromise
would never go into effect, as doubtless
any rate named by the commission
would be regarded as can injustice. y
In practice, the effect Of this provision
would be to nullify the value of any
rate-fxing power conferred upon the
commission, and all that the president
and his friends have stood for would
be lost.
Of course, the president turns down
this compromise, altho he was assured
have approval Of his San Domingo pol
icy and treaty, he might have the pas
sage of the Philippine bill, he might
have senate approval for the statehood
blinded, everything would be love
1y and the president would be readil y
granted practically everything that he
stands for. The president, however
regards the rate regulation bill as tn,
most. important thing before congress:
the one issue upon which the people
are insisting-and could not be influ
enced by any such fattering induce
ments. On the one hand, he took tn,
view. which the attitude of the trium
virate would seem to justif y-namely
that the senatorial opposition to rail
!road rate regulation will be obliged
to yield in the end and pass the Hep
burn-D olliver bill
In the meantime the eyes Of the PEG
pie thruout the country will be focuse,
upon the senate, and if railroad rat
regulation is not Incorporated into lay
in accordance with the president
plan, there will be no lack Of clea
understanding on the part of the pee
pie as to what individuals, and, 70
that matter, what party is responsible
for the failure The republicans hay

WHAT SHOULD DETERMINE THE
PRICE OF A Book?-In the easy
Chair of the February Harper's, Mr.
Howells takes up the interesting discus
sion of the commercialization of litera-
ture. Literature is not commercialized,
even xirS the greedy souls Of It's authors, =
he says cit cannot be cornrnercia1izedS
unless it is made to sell, with an eye
single to It's sale. As for. the publishers
or the booksellers methods, they are not
yet enough commercialized they ,are not
yet truly business methods. In most 9TH
err manufactures a well-known brand
brings a better price than a brand ILL
known, or unknown. But in the book trade
It Is not so. A book by an author of estab-
lished repute and unquestioned merit
sells. for no more than a book by an aus
thor sofs no literary excellence, or of no
attested worth. The new; author, the
trashy author, sells for the same price
as the author whose name Is measur-
able warrant Of worth. Apparently the
size, shape and quality of the material
put into a book fix its value: There is no
other standard known to the trade; and
therefore it seems tina it's methods are
not businesslike. The publishing, the
selling Of books. need to be commercials
lied at vital point. AT. present it is
ridiculously naive.

SAY SCHOOL IS UNSAFE
PARENTS OF ROSEDALE SCHOOL
PUPILS COMPLAIN TO THE
BOARD OF EDUCATION.

Complaint has been made to the
board of education that the Rosedale
school, Forty-third street and Williams
avenue, is unsafe. A delegation of
parents from the district declared that
there was much fear over the apparent
dangerous condition. of the building. 1t
was also pointed out that the school is
badly overcrowded and that many of
the pupils are on halliday sessions in
consequence. A request was made for
a modern brick building of twelve.
rooms. The matter was referred to a
building committee.
A request from the residents of Pros
pect park that the school board join. in
the movement for the acquisition of
Tower hill for public park was not
granted, as the school directors felt
that the board should not interfere in.
this matter altho approving the plan.
1t was decided that all drinking cups
in the public schools should be disin-
feeaed once a month by boiling in a
sal soda solution.
In view of the proposed opening Of q
shorthand and typewriting course in the
high schools, DR.. c. M. Jordan requested
the board to make provisions for secur-
ing an adequate number Of typewriters.
He also urged that school exhibit be
collected for the state fair in September
1t was decided that the board was
not in position to make any appropria-
tion at this time for vacation schools
to be held next summer.
The following designations of teach
ers were accented: Grace B. Marsh,
