FACILITATING PRESIDENT.
II Has Become Quite Plain That the
Senate Is TO HAYS It's
Own Wey.

Ingenious friends OF the president viii
need TO employ all their most subtle
theories to account for his vacillations
and final surrender In the matter Of
ratc-fixing legislation. For Washington
dispatches make IL plain that the senate
is TO have its way. says the New York
Post The Interstate commerce commis-
sion will not be given power to make
railroad rates Independently; review
and control by the courts will be re-
tanned as now. That is the point for
which the best lawyers and clearest-
headed men in the senate have all along
contended, and that is the point which
the president is now ready TO concede.
All his loud protests 10 the contrary
were simply playful, II now appears, OF
fresh illustrations of his "open mind"
The clear practical upshot, however, Ia
his tacit abandonment of the campaign
he has been waging since his message
OF 1904. There will be a railway bill. 4
will contain excellent and needed pro-
visions against rebates and the abuses
Of private car lines, etc; but what Con-
gresham Mccall aptly termed the
presidential n~on-sequitur" will not be
in 1t. The commission, that is. will not
be empowered to make a rate, to go into
effect " at once" without a prior appeal
10 the courts to determine whether the
rate be reasonable and just In all that
matter, we shall stay much as we are.
Of course. Mr.. Roosevelt will claim a
great victory for his ideas, just as he did
In the case Of the Elkins bill OF 1903,
which he then declared TO be all the rail-
way legislation required; but the facts
are NJ in doubt. The president has re-
treated. Though assured that he could
have the bill he wanted by a combina-
ton of Republican and Democratic votes.
he shrank before Senator Cranes DOGGY
Of a split in his own party which would
outlast his term of office. He assents to
a ~rate-Raking clause which amounts to
nothing. and for it has paid the price OF
up tariff revision. A birthright
has thus again been sold for a mess Of
pottage.

Uncle %Grosvenor, the Republican
representative from Ohio, mmst be
hard pressed by his party enemies, for
be has resorted to the extraordinary
proceeding Of urging his brother con-
gressmen TO sign a petition TO the tie
publican voters. reciting the great
services that Gen. Grosvenor has per-
formed in behalf OF the Republican
party and that to defeat him would
impose great loss upon the party. But
still the free and Independent Repub-
leans Of that Ohio district may think
they know best who should represent
them. and they are evidently disguised
With Grosvenor. In fact there is pref
ty good evidence that the whole coun-
try IS tired OF politicians Of the
Grosvenor stripe and are determined
on a change. In Ohio the people had
an opportunity last fall OF getting rid
Of some of their Republican servants
who had outlasted their usefulness and
elected Democrats in their places, and
the revolution has only just started.

prospect ahead.
