BhlLsYS GREAT SPEECH

The greatest triumph OF the railroad
rate debate was scored in the Senate
Tuesday by senator Bailey, OF TcNes.
When the struggir is ended in i,2.-'a-
zion this speech by Mr. Bailey and that
8i senator Rayner will probably stand
out a. the arguments which have com
mauded and controlled the situation.
Senator Bailey contends that Congress
has the right 20 provide that no court
except the Supreme Court of the United
States. shall have the power 10 suspend
an order of the Interstate Commerce
Commission until the case has been
- tiled in the courts.
He asserts that Congress has the
power under the Constitution 10 create,
regulate and abolish Inferior Federal
courts. and can, therefore. control their
procedure.
Senator Rayner in his speech declared
that the rate bin would have 10 contain
q court-reyiew feature i'm order to make
il constitutional Bat io suggested that
this be limited by prohibiting the courts
from suspending orders OF the comms-
sion pending final decision 10y the courts.
The validity OF this proposition WAS
attacked by Senators SpOOner and Knox,
and Mr.. Bailey's speech was IN reply to
their contention that Congress could not
limit the jurisdiction or fix the procedure
Oi the Federal courts.

TIE PASSING OLE pOWIE

The downfall OF Dowie simply
marks the passing OF another crank.
Dowie, as every sensible man knows,
has always been a fraud OF the first
water and the American people will
doubtless rejoice that he is to at last
pass from public view. His career
furnishes but another evidence Of
how easily some OF the people OF this
country are deluded by so-calied
prophets and fake religious leaders.
Dowie is the crudest one OF all, how
ever. His stay in New York a year
or so since. when he and his ianatical
followers went there 70 purge the
city of vice and crime, was marked
by such conduct on Dowie's part as
to disgust his own followers and
marked the beginning Of the end.
There seems little doubt but what
DOwie has stored up vast amount
OF wealth for himself.

COUNTY TREASURES AND
THEIR ACCOUNTS

The result OF the examination OF
the accounts of the late treasurer OF
Henrico county 10y expert account
ants. showing a shortage OF some
$4,000, emphasizes the necessity OF
some general law requiring an an
nual examination OF the accounts OF
every treasurer IN the State. II Is
very true that the vast majority 81
treasurerS throughout the State are
honest and competent men, and as a
general rule the people can be d'-
pendent upon to elect only such men
to positions Of such responsibility,
but in spite of this fact every now
AMI then the people wake up to the
fact that treasurer and highly re-
spccted official has betrayed THEN
trust. either through criminal intent
or through gross carelessneSS. When
this is the case someone must suffer
IL NAV be that the bond OF such
treasurer, rs in most cases 1t Is, l.
amply sufficient to insure the people
AGAINST loss. but boudsmeu OF
bonding companies must pay the
piper. and the stigma and stain OF
dishonor is left and cannot be wiped
out. The Board OF Supervisors OF
HenricO county seems to have taken
more precautions than are usually
taken i'm such eases. and only short
time ago had mn expert eXamlna-
ton made of rhc trcasurer'S books.
but in spite OF this they are now con
fronted by "a deficit OF So. ZOO,
brought about by default of Treas
urer Todd. Ii may be that there Is
not another county or state where
like conditions exists. even on a
small scale, but it may be that there
are several. and it behooves the
Boards of Supervisors to keep post
ed. The next Legislature will prob
ably make provisions for eXemlna-
tions of treasurers accounts.

not faith or to entrust it in hands to
build. in whom the people have no
confidence, is unwise and in our judg-
ment extremely foolish. So far as
we are concerned we have not con
vinced ourselves that the people lack
faith in their council. We know that
such has been asserted, but from an
entirely unreliable source. The work
so far as accomplished. if 1t be lost,
is of little moment compared with
building such a great utility, with
out the support and absolute back
ing of all the people. Council has
weighed well the charges of the un-
thinking, that someone or several of
their number will profit by the build
ing of the scheme. This howl and
charge was expected even If angels
should have undertaken the work
and the members of council are not
celestial beings by any means. The
character of opposition would not de-
ter them one instant. But If men,
who should know better give coun-
tenance to such idle talk and ques-
tion the advisability of the under
taking, We should give our voice and
vote against voting the bonds. There
ought to be absolute confidence and
faith from all sides to give this
splendid system to our city. 1t

The most positive example of
awakening in Western Colorado has
taken place right here in our own
county. It is that spirit which is
extraordinarily alive in the Plateau
valley, seeking more recognition of
its splendid resources and asking and
seeking to be brought into closer re-
lations with the people of the rest of
the county. A dozen years ago we
would hear of the Plateau country
intermittently. 1t was the school of
some cowboy feud or neighborhood
trouble which would reach the courts.
Nor do we mean to infer that such
conditions fere alone prevalent. Many
good people resided there then and
have been the leaven which has work
ed out for the welfare of that whole
country. But the new spirit and the
new people who have recognized the
possibilities of that country, Joined
to the old guard who have resided
there for years, is the direction from
which comes the demand for larger
growth, greater facilities and increas-
ed opportunities for, commercial en-
prise. Does anyone question that
they will accomplish their ambition
We do not, however, others may
think.
