The promise of a number of west
tern railroads to stop giving rebates
aud to inform on the roads which
continue the practice is encouraging.
1t proves conclusively that the pres
ent laws, rigidly enforced, will cor
rect any transportation evils that
may exist. The trouble heretofore
has been, not that there were not
laws enough to deal with the ques-
tion, but that the laws were not en-
forced Aberdeen News.
All of which is very good material
for one opposed to railroad legis-
lation. But why this righteous re-
solve on the part of the railroads to
all at once observe the laws which
have been in existance for many
years, and have been continually
violated9 1t is only fair to assume
that, under the conditions which
have allowed these evil practices to
exist, the roads will continue to do
as they have been doing. Also, il
the railroads Sc. the error of their
way and bave resolved to be good

A SENATORIAL COMPACT.

According to the understanding OF
Walter Wellman, leading United
States senators have entered iuto a
compact to destroy not only Roose-
vet with the expiration of his term
but to wipe out every trace of Roose-
veltism, that it may rise no more to
vex the combinations that made and
maintain senators.
With the permission of the people
they can accomplish their object
Without such consent they will fail.
Roosevelt has pointed the way
through which the future Of the re
public can be safeguarded and it
would be an unfortunate day for the
republic if Rooseveltism were de.
stroyed.
Leading senators fear that Mr..
Roosevelt seeks TO perpetuate his poll
icy through the bestowal of his high
office on one OF his cabinet ministers
TAFT, for ins.ance-and they are cou-
spring TO render his administration a
failure. All the indications point to
a stormy session of the senate end of
congress, to objections to everything
that the administration favors, to
railroad rate regulation, to the Pana-
ma canal, to the tariff proposition
that have been more limited at than
recommended,

enactment of further laws which can

what they promise not to do? The
