THAT FTrzPATRICK RESOLUTION

| There is said to be a combine of 2:
or "a senators in the Kansas legisla
ture that is held together and voted as
one man on every proposition involving
| certain corporation and political inter
ests, and the vote on the Fitzpatrick
resolution yesterday indicates that the
report is true.
1t is extremely unusual that the lieu
tenant governor of the state, the pre-
siding officer of the senate, should be
given orders as was done to Lieut.. Gov
ernor Fitzgerald by the Fitzpatrick
resolution. Never before in recent
years has a presiding officers hands
thus been tied. Heretofore each house
has allowed the fairness and good judg-
ment of its presiding officer to govern
in the appointment of conference COM
mittees. Then if it's conference COM
mittee brought in a report with which
the majority disa greed, the majority
committee report.
But it is evident that the bosses of
the alleged senatorial combine were
afraid to try that course on the pri-
mary election matter. The situation
called for drastic action. Speaker Sim
mons appointed three house members
on the primary conference committee
who were more conservative In their
views than were the first house con-
ferees, and it was reported that Lieut..
Gov. Fitzgerald would appoint one
senator among the senate conferees
who would not stand absolutely for
the convention plan.
Then it was rumored, too, that GER
tain senators were becoming wobbly in
their opposition to the house bill; that
their constituents were demanding
that they vote for it and that they
were likely to do so if the house bill
ever came before the senate again.
Therefore drastic measures were nee
essary to avoid the possibility of the
before the senate, and to accomplish
this end the Fitzpatrick resolution was
framed, tying the lieutenant governors
hands and giving him his orders to
appoint on the conference committee
no one Who had not voted for the Fftz-
bill and who was not friendly
to it, That left the senate bosses in
position to dictate the report of the
committee and to keep the
house bill from coming up in any
shape.
It's a good idea for the people to I'M
these things and also to note
unusual and drastic action as the Fitz-
patrick resolution. Twenty senators
voted for the resolution. Four others
who have usually lined up the same
way were absent.

HARTMAN.

1t appears very much as though Mr.
Hartman has assumed the We'll
known attitude once expressed by
Commodore Vanderbilt when he said.
1.-The people be damned" This may
be an erroneous opinion, but it is one
that is unavoidable in view of Mr..
Harriman's expressed views and his
actions.
This is the sort of a railroad mag
nate that is bringing the railroad
world into disrepute. There are doubt
less many railroad managers who are
anxious to run their roads as railroads
should be run, on a basis that is fair
alike to the public and the stockhold-
ers. 1t is probable that some of those
in charge of the great properties that
form the Hartman system are good
men and fair. but the public is led to
judge all railroad men the same as
it does such leaders as Hartman.
The view that the average man is
compelled to take of Mr.. Hartman is
illustrated by the following from the
Chicago News:
Hartman has told the tale of his
exploits on that metaled highway in
Illinois which he found with a mod
crate capitalization and speedily fitted
out with an immoderate capitalization.
He told the tale with eloquent flashes
of silence whenever his own personal
profits in transactions which hopeless
ly crippled a great corporation were
touched upon. That he made many
millions out of the road in ways that
can not be explained by him safely in
detail is evident. 1t is to be hoped
that either the interstate commerce
commission, the state of Illinois or
involuntary investors in Alton secu-
rites. such as stockholders in the
Union Pacific railroad, which pur-
chased largely of those securities at a
high price because Hartman occu-
pied the dual role of buyer and seller,
will follow up these transactions in the
courts.
The Illinois constitution forbids the
issuing of securities by a railroad with
out benefit to its property. Hartman
and his associates put out 32,OOO,OO0
in bonds, sold them and gave the road
nothing in return for them. Because
they knew how to make a market for
the certificates of Indebtedness which
they chose to issue they did not trou-
BILE themselves to bestow benefit on
anybody or anything but themselves
morality is exhibited by men of stand
ing and power it is time to take action
which will protect the investing pub
lie and the people who use the rail-
roads from rank imposition No IL
linois railroad henceforth should be
permitted to put out new securities at
its own sweet will.
"A bill now before the legislature
gives the state railroad and warehouse
commission authority to regulate in
creases of capitalization so that ac-
tual value received shall offset the
additional Indebtedness. Hartman
has furnished examples of financial
atrocities which should suffice to show
the genuine need for the passage of
this bill"
The worst enemies of the railroads
of America today are the Harrimans,
whose actions are arousing the public
to hostility against railroads in general
those that try to be decent as well
as the other kind.

JAPAN AND EDUCATION.

Japan has gone in strongly and
earnestly for popular education, and
compulsory attendance at school is en-
forced throughout the country. No
child is excused without valid reason.
Thus millions of children and youth
are receiving instructions and the
esprit de corps of the teachers is kept
up by wise regulations. Eighty-five
per cent of the teachers are men,
while in the United States II per cent
of the teachers are women. The Jap
anese teacher has better secured
position, for he cannot be discharged
without cause, nor is he subject to an
arbitrary reduction OF salary. On re-
tirement he is pensioned. or, in case of
his death, the pension goes to his
family.

buildings are looked after by corps
