The President Stands Pat.

It is not hard to detect the work Of
the "fine italian hand' Of the .opposi-
ton to rate regulation in the dis
patches which have been printed IN
some of our exchanges during the past
two or three days, indicating IN some
cases that the president had surren-
dered to what are called the conserva-
tives in the senate, and in other cases
that he had practically thrown up his
hands, disclaiming all responsibility for
results, and brought CONSERVATION into
the camp of his friends in both houses.
Neither of these statements appears
to have been true. Referred to our
own Washington correspondent-tha
whom there is no newspaper man in
Washington who is in a position to
know more definitely and certainly what
the president g position is-we find that
while the president has considered the
Knox amendment and has gone over it
carefully with his attorney general, he
has not accepted it or any other modli-
cation Of the Hepburn bill; that, in
fact, he does not care for any modifi-
cation of that bill. He is not con-
cerned as to the anxiety in the senate
to effect compromise which shall be
more satisfactory to the railroad inter
ests than the Hepburn bill; nor do his
supporters in the upper house appear to
have any occasion for such anxiety
Our correspondent calls attention to
the fact that the president has the
lower house with him; that it has passed
almost unanimously the Hepburn bill.
The senate cannot adjourn without the
consent of the house. The house will
stay with the president on this rail
road legislation to the end. Every
week s delay focuses the attention OF
the country upon the senate and upon
those men who are seeking, thru one
pretext or anotEa to nullify the effec,
tiveness of any measure protesting to
give to the interstate commerce com
mission the power to make rate and
have it stand until it is declared I'M
reasonable by the court. Every week
the fact is becoming more and more
conspicuous that men who are known
to be in sympathy. with the great cor.
porations and out Of sympathy with the
people are holding up this legislation
But they will not be able to keep in
line enough members to defeat the
measure ultimately.
In other words, the president has the
whip hand, and while we may expect
good many such plays as this last
one to create impression thru a misin
formed press that the friends of rate
regulation have finally admitted thei
error and are willing to yield to thu
conservatives. the final outcome will b
the passage Of a law substantially il
. the form Of the Hepburn bill.

The public is entitled to protection

Idoubtedly some color ingredients are
comparatively harmless, but there can
be no hardship in requiring their pres,
ence to be clearly indicated on the pack
age. Then if the people want to use
foods SO prepared in preference to those
that may be less attractive in appear
ance but are purer and better in quail
ity, they can do so at their own risk;
nor will this impose any hardships or
restrictions upon manufacturers to
which they ought not to be willing and
required to submit.
