The anu-rebate law, which is now being
rigidly inforced by the Interstate Com
merce Commission 70 the satisfaction
alike of the public and the railroads. was
written by Senator Foraker although il
is popularity known as the EIkins act II
received this popular title by reason Of
the fact that Senator Elkins, as chairman
OF the Committee on Commerce, reported
il favoraoly 10 the Senate and heartily
supported it in committee. Mr. Foraker
framed the act ia his law Offices at Gin
Cinnau with the assistance of shippers
and railroad officials. He sent a copy of
10 % Senator Elkins in the vacation OF
Congress, and after carefully studying 1t
the West NiISinian, who IS a practical
railroad man as well as large Shipper
gave it his approval Both Mr.. Foraker
and MT. EllHns believed then and believe
now that this act was all-suficient for
the relief from railroad exactions which
the public was demanding of Congress,
and both are highly gratihed by the re-
suits of its operations.

The President,s first speech.

President Roosevelt made his first set
speech when he was ten years Old. At
that time he would a bold sailor be. He
had read all the marvellous tales OF the
sea. and his ambition was to sail the
ocean blue in command Of a staneh craft
that would carry him 10 the uttermost
parts of the earth. He was permitted by
his governess 10 spend much time about
the wl}arves of New York. and he thus
became personally acquainted with many
OF the most famous shippers OF that time.
Chief among his heroes was a certain
Capt. Doane, commander Of the clipper
ship Rival This old sea dog used 70 fll
the mind of the future hero of san Juan
with astonishing stories of storms at sea
and hairbreadth escapes from "a sepulcher
in Davy Jones locker. 1t fired the inn
agination of the youth and stirred his am
bition. In 1868 the boy who is now Pres
ident raised fund by popular subscrip-
ton for the purchase Of a library for
the officers and crew of the Rival, all Of
whom were his friends. At the head Of a
delegation of youngsters he visited the ship
when it next came into port and with due
ceremony presented the library. consist
ing Of forty-five volumes, TO the skipper.
The presentation speech was made by
Mr.. Roosevelt. When reminded. a few
days ago, Of this event by an old friend.
the President said he remembered il per-
fectly, and that frequently he had won
dered II any Of the officers or crew Of the
Rival were sun alive, and If so. If they
remembered his speech. Il thought it WAS
mighty fine speech" said he, and so
did Capt. Doane."
