vile, Texas. The Senate CON-
mittee will begin its session in
Washington on February a, and
will be empowered to issue sub
poenas for the commissioned and
non-commissioned officers of the
discharged negro battalion and
possibly for some of the enlisted
men also. In view of the fact
that the court martials of some
of the men involved will be held
simultaneously in Texas, it is
possible that preliminary hear
ings may be begun in Washing
ton even earlier than the date
named. No counsel will be per-
mitted to appear at the hearings,
but it is probable that some men,
ber of the committee, probably
Senator Foraker, will appear as
counsel for the enlisted men. No
decision has been reached on the
question of sending sub-com-
mittee to Brownsville to prose-
cute an investigation there.
The president has been con-
sidering the report on car short
age submitted to him by the In
terstate Commerce Commission
with a view to recommending to
Congress legislation for the cure
of the evil. 1t has not yet been
decided exactly what legislation
will be recommended, but the
Administration is aware that
something definite will have to
be submitted in order to get ac-
ton at the present session. The
chances are that reciprocal de-
murrage will be recommended
as the most practical cure of the
evils complained of. If such a
law were put into practice the
railroads, the shippers and the
consignees would all be penalized
for unreasonable delay in furn-
ishing, handling asd unloading
freight cars. Meantime a great
many complaints are being re-
ceived by the Interstate Com
merce Commission as to the fuel
famine in the northwest owing
to the shortage of cars. Many
communities there are suffering
great privations and in some
cases there is an actual food as
we'll as fuel famine. The Com
mission is not able to do more
than exercise moral suasion upon
the railroads, but Senator Hans
borough of North Dakota in
whose territory much of the suf-
fering has occurred is thorough
ly wrought up over the matter
and promises to use all his infiu-
ence in putting through any
practical car shortage bill.

The Foraker Collapse.
BY LEO.


dead sure that the chief magis-
trate of the nation had commit
ted a great blunder in discharg-
ing the black soldiers for a sup
posed outrage upon the citizens
of Brownsville. The senator's S
euphemistic way of putting it was
that the president had been "im-
posed upon" by somebody, as if
Roosevelt had been easily gulled.
But it turns out that the presi-
dent had been very careful in
gaining his information, and that
Senator Foraker himself is the
person imposed upon, as the lat
er evidence clearly proves. And
hence, Foraker has actually col
lapsed. The senator is not a man
to say II am whipped" but for
all that the country can see who
is down. He still persists in cry
ing for an investigation, although
nothing is to be gained by it
nothing to restore the prestige of
our senior senator.
If it be true, as many allege,
that certain Republican senators
took hold of the Brownsville af-
fair for the purpose of humiliat-
ing the president, they have sig
nally failed. Somebody is in a
hole', but it is not the gallant
chief magistrate. Senator For
aker is an astute politician and a
plucky fighter; but for once he
has met his match. The presi-
dent is a good fighter, too, and
certainly one of the most astute
politicians in the country. The
man who tackles him is almost
sure to come out second best
lust as Senator Foraker has come
out in this Brownsville matter.
Senator Tillman of South Car
olina came out of this fight with
a little bad notoriety. He had a
chance to exhibit his malice and
spite, and Withal his ability to
play the role of clown; but not a
single senator from the south
showed disposition to appreci-
ate his TRADE against the presi-
dent.
Senator Blackburn of Ken
lucky made an adroit move when
he proposed an amendment to
the Foraker resolution to the eff
feet that President Roosevelt was
just and right in discharging,
without honor, the riotous col
ored soldiers. Of course, the
Republican senators would never
vote nay to such a proposition.
What then? Then Foraker must
modify his resolution to the eff
feet that the right of the presi-
dent to do as he did be not ques-
toned. Is not that a clean back
down?
Now then, what is there to in
vestigate? Nothing but the facts
in the case. And the facts are
established beyond any reasona-
BILE doubt. The president has
scored another victory over For
aker.
The Columbus scrape is allud-
ed to as if somewhat like the one
at Brownsville. But they are
entirely different. At Columbus
the white soldiers indulging in
riotous proceedings were prompt
" dealt with. The commander
of the post took out two hundred
of his soldiers to squelch the un-
ruly ones, and they have theil
punishment. Nobody tried t.
shield them. If the commander
at Brownsville had been al
prompt in dealing with his riot
GUS soldiers the presidents ordel

PROPER MANNER OF READING.
Writer Sees Much Harm In Multi
plicity of Books.

1t seems to me that with the multi
piicatiOn OF books VIC aic losing all
sense of literature. Leisure and three
books, Bible, a Shakespeare, a Walt
Whitman, might make a man truly
wise if the seeds of wisdom were in
him. / do not know even a wise man
whose instinct for wisdom would not
be deadened by the reorganization of
the Encyclopaedia Britannica. Books
should be taken in doses no bigger
shan music or pictures; they are even
harder to digest. There is more
drunkenness in a book than in all the
vineyards of France. A book may re-
make a mans soul. Books should Ss
treated with reverence or cast out as
dirt They are in danger of passing
out of the service of the temple into
the parcel delivery of the grocer.
Nothing is gained by reading book
unless you giTe to that book more
than it brings to you. All these peo-
pie who read with their eyes only are
fatally wasting their time. A book
read specifically makes the reader
more superficial, and to read for I'm
formation" is to gnaw ut the bones

of all its trains running in and out
of the Grand Central station below

means that trains pass one another

it seems, are the ones who live most

they love their husbands. Many of
