~1HE fifty-six immortal signers OF the
Declaration Of Independence had
- trades and professions like other
IMSE people. Among them are to be
- found lawyers, doctors, merchants,
shoemaker, printers and teachers.
History has given us fairly complete biog-
raphy of the whole number, but let us look
at them by the States they represented, and
see who and what they we're.
New Hampshire furnished Josiah Bartlett,
William Whipple and Matthew Thornton.
VI these, Bartlett was a physician, but
abandoned medicine for politics; Whipple be-
gan lie as a merchant, and Thornton studied
and practlced medicine for awhile in the
capacity of surgeon in the colonial forces OF
the king before the Revolution He was the
last man to sign the Declaration, an act which
he performed in November 1776, while Bart
lett, his colleague, was the first to sign it af.
ter John Hancock.
Massachusetts gave to the illustrious docu-
ment the names of Samuel Adams, John
Adams, John Hancock, Robert Treat Paine
and Elbridge Gerry
Samuel Adams was educated for the min
istry, but never took orders. Hancock was
engaged in mercantile life. John Adams was
a lawyer. Paine was first an army chaplain
but atterly practitioner of law and Gerry's
early life was devoted to commercial pursuits

The following are some Of the primer
pal points in the recently enacted law:
The rate bin directs the interstate
commerce commission TO investigate
complaints of unjust and unreasonable
charges on the part Of railroads.
In the event Of the commission find
ing that extortiOn and discrimination
are praetised it has the power to fix
races and enforce It's orders.
II may apportiOn joint fares, establish
through routes and maximum rates and
determine the compensation to be paid
shippers employed by carriers.
Complaints in suits against carriers
are to be awarded pecuniaFy damages,
and service Of the commissions orders
through the mails is held to be legal.
A penalty of 5000 for each ofFense
in disobedience Of the commissions or
ders is prescribed, ard the penalty is
to accumulate at the rate Of 5000 a
day for continuous violation.
Orders other than those for the pay
ment of money are 10 be enforced by
the federal courts through mandamus
writs.
Oil pipe lines, express companies ard
shipping car companies are made amen
able requirements Of the bill.
The issuance Of passes to one class Of
passengers over another by railroads
and the granting Of special favors are
prohibited.
Railroads are forbidden to transport
commodities produced by themselves.
The granting and acceptance of re-
bates is prohibited and the prison pen.
atty for violation Of the law is rein
stated.
The cOmmissionis is given access to the
hooks of all companies it wishes to in.
yestigate.
The bill as passed contains ton pages
of amendments, and seems to be
bill Of shreds and patches, and Oh being
returned to the house will tnl that
body prompt with its disagreements.
The primary purpose of the rate bill
was to give greater power to the com.
mission, and the primary purpose of the
railroad Senator'S has been TO pre-
vent the comforting of such power upon
the commission.
The President and the people will
never be satisfied until rate legislation
is an accomplished fact. Like many
other questions before the people this
will never be settled until It is settled
right. So far however the bill is step
in the right direction.

never failed to recognize Mrs. Chase
even to the last moment Of his life.
Mr.. Chase leaves a mother who re-
