The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1906-05-01

tion bill was not only the longest
speech that has been made this year
on that subject; it was also the most
comprehensive. 1t can best be char
acterlzed not as a speech in the usual
sense of the word but as a formal
treatise on the railroad rate question
in its relation to legislation.
The senator is in favor of the Hep
burn bill with the Bailey amendment
forbidding suspension of commission
made rates during court proceedings.
He is against broad court review,
and in favor, therefore, only of mar
row" review confined to questions of
the constitutional rights of the roads
and of the competence of the commits
sion. He insists that the Bailey
amendment and the rejection of the.
proposition of a broad court review
have the same sound basis"
But the most he hopes for from the
Hepburn bill is that lit will aid di-
rectly and indirectly to equalize rates"
1t will give "the larger, wealthier,
more enterprising and aggressive conf
munities" a chance to get justice in
rates. Much more than that, he in
sists, will be needed before the rail-
road rate question goes out of poll
tics. The commission must be given
broad powers. 1t must be able to
take the initiative to protect weaker
Ch ,gt
classification and rate making on the
large scale. 1t must have authority
to make a valuation of all the rail-
way property of the country, such as
Wisconsin, Michigan and Texas have
made of the railway property within
their limits. 1t must have power to
make minimum as well as maximum
rates, and to contro4- effectively long
and short haul determinations. These
and other points must be secured be-
fore fair rates for all shippers will
be possible.
This is clearly the program for the
future. Directly it has little bearing
on the senatorial fight this year. In
directly, however, it may have its
bearing on that fight. The certainty
that Senator La Toilette will strive on
this platform to increase the already
considerable following he has among
Republican voters of the west may
make it seem to some of the Aldrich
following that the best way to head
him off is to let the much less radi
cal legislation on the Roosevelt basis
be enacted. With the Hepburn bill a
law, it would surely be number of
years before another great popular up
rising for railroad legislation could
gather force. The Roosevelt plan
would first demand its full trial.
There is one feature of the La Fol-
lette program, nevertheless, which is
bound to be pressed, no matter what
laws are ENACTED this year. That Is
for the valuation of railroad property.
The interstate commerce commission
has asked the power. The convention
of railroad commissioners in Washing
ton a month ago voted unanimously
in favor of it. Many states which
are struggling with the assessment OF
in it. Whether in connection with
proposals for broader rate-making leg
islation or entirely apart from such
movement we are certain to hear
good deal more of it in the future.

The residents of West Fifth street, be-

have the street paved and otherwise

put this street in almost impossible
condition and damage suits will no
doubt soon prevail if something is
not done to remedy this condition.
The council should act without delay.

Americas Worship Of Wealth.

Mrs. Craigie, better known under
her pen name OF John Oliver Hobbies.
lectures before the National Liberal
Club on American life. She said there
were fewer idle rich in New York
and Chicago than in any other great
city OF the world, but the worship of
wealth was still carried to excess New
erless revulsion against ostentatious
display was growing.
American women spent more for
clothes and gems than any women in
the world except rich Orentals. II
was astonishing to find this Oriental
ism in a race with Puritanism.
In temperament the Americans were
not day older than they were In tho
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
Their very faces belong to that peri
cd. suggesting the old masters. The
press governed the country. It's kew
notes were humaneness and indiyidu-
atty.
She believed there were consider.
able prospects for American art and
literature. Respective styles were be-
ing worked out which were purely and
fistinctively American.

md all the affections which act upon
the general health bring about a diminu.
lion in the thickness Of the hair. The
nedullary layer may even be interrupt

may disappear. Observations made
1pon a hair will therefore show the
variations in thickness according TO
certain maladies, and the length Of the
affected part Of the thinner portion OF
he hair gives an idea Of the duration
Of the malady, and even of slighter at
ections. The variations are naturally
more trongly marked in the case OF

The Little end Of II.

following, however, shows that even
The good Intentions of queens are not

Her Majesty recently noticed q
Dleasant-faced little girl and spoke to
Ter. There was a short CONVERSE
lion, and the Queen asked the child
what she could do in the way Of
needlework.
4 can knit stockings, signora,' re-
piled the girl.
DO you know who l amp contin-
ued the Queen.
Yes. signora; you are the Queen"
We'll, then, make me a pair Of
stockings and send them to the pal
ace"
A few days afterward the articles
arrived, and the Queen. in return for
the gift, sent the child a beautiful
pair OF silk stockings, one filled with
sweets. the other containing money.
Next day the Queen received a letter
from her little friend. as follows:
"Signora, your gift has caused me
many tears. Ny father took the
money, my big brother took the
sweets. and as for the stockings,
why, mother took them for herself"

there is now q woman who has
claims to being the oldest of her sex
In the world. She is an Andalusian.
and was born in Grenada in 1881. She
has lived in Madrid for 1913 years and
has been the mother OF twenty-one
children, all Of whom are dead,
though most OF them lived to a fairly
old age. There is nothing emaciated
or cadaverous about the old woman.
The skin has a healthy appearance:
there is color in the cheeks, and her
eye is still clear and bright. The
surgeon in charge of the home thinks
she may still live a considerable time.
