a conference will be held at the White
dent Roosevelt may recommend to Con
gress certain important amendments tC
the Hepburn railroad rate act and other
laws on the statute books Affecting the
common carriers of the United States.
A modification or repeal Of that pro-
vision OF the rate act prohibiting rail
roads from owning coal mines or other
enterprises along their lines that or
iginate traffic, the hours OF service re-
lating 10 railroad telegraphers. and the
proposition of the President that pool
ing shall be permitted under the super
vision of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. are among the subjects that will
be discussed.
Many Persons Interested.
Railroad men and others interested in
such combinations of railroad property
as will be wholesome in their influences
upon interstate trade are hopeful that
the President viii soon send a message
to Congress recommending the repeal OF
that feature of the rate act aimed al
pooling. They hope the President viii

Sherman antitrust act. in so far as II
applies to railroads.
Whether the President can be induced
10 go TO such an extreme is prOblematical
This subject, il is understood. will be
discussed at length at to-day's conference
Section / Of the rate law provides that
from and after May !. 1905 1t shall be
unlawful for any railroad company 70
transport any article or commodity. other
than timber and the manufactured
products thereof manufactured. mined, OF

commodities as may oe necessary and
intended for It's use in the conduct Of It's

the law above quoted. The attention of
the President will be directed to hard
ships that will be imposed If it is en-

The hours or service law for rail-

bitterly opposed by the railroads, and as
the time approaches when IL shall become
operative. railroad managers are much
concerned. Its enforcement means a great

Makes a Comparison.

Ones faith can be strengthened by the
comparison of religions Buddhism has
made no progress In 2,0O0 years. except
where they borrow from Christianity.
The teachings of Confucius have made
no progress in 200 years, except where
they have been influenced by the teach
ings Of Christianity. These pupils are
not only accepting our teachings. but
they carry them TO every other land.
These are the fruits. Take the Moham-
medan religion 1t has an influence, since
the Mohammedan does the praying five
times a day, while the women stay be-
hind a screen. Here the women do the
praying, but the men do not even get
as far as the screen. But the Moham-
medan religion degrades women, and any
religion that degrades women loses the
refining influence Of women and cannot
live.
Buddhism rests on works The Bud
dhists say: II you have done wrong or
lived an evil life through inngmerable
existenees, by living a good life from
now on until after you have Cancelled

The Republicans Of Ohio are in a
ferment and are likely to become 50
divided as to lose their grip ou that
state. Their state executive com
mittee, acting in the interest Of Sec
retary Taft for the presidential nom

ton for delegates as early as a day
in February, at which Senator
Foraker, also an aspirant for Ohio's
vote for the same position. Is in re-
volt and declares that the primary
is illegal and void The other sen
ator, Mr.. Dick, Is a strong support
er Of the Fire Alarm, while the
Roosevelt administration is at the
back Of 3Ir. Taft and rendering him
every possible aid. Each step in
the campaign widens the breach in
the party and increases the bitter
ness between the two factions, and
Mr. Bryan, after all, may capture

Governor johnson on the Issues.

Governor Johnson, of Minnesota,
who is frequently mentioned as in
line for the Democratic nomination
for President, responds as follows
to a request from the New York
World for his views in regard to
the issues by which the people will
be confronted this year:
The commercial and industrial
development of this country has
reached a point where the proper
adjustment Of right has become the
question Of the hour. The present
unrest Of the people is evidence of
the determination shared by all
that the fundamental principles of
this government shall be maintain
ed. These include the dignity of
labor, equality before the law, the
equal enforcement of the laws and
the entire absence of special privi-
leges.
Great corporations, especially
those exercising at least some of the
powers Of government, must come
to the realization that they are
as much amenable to the law as j.
the individual citizen The trust
problem is still to be solved; but
while searching for the complete
remedy, we can at least withdraw
from their grasp the special privi-
leges they have enjoyed under a
high protective tariff It must be
apparent that our present tariff,
while mainly responsible for the ex-
istence of the trusts, Is in addition
tax upon the masses for the beLe-
fit of the few. The farming of taxes
in France before the revolution was
no more iniquitous than is our pres
ent tariff system.
The year 1908 viii be a mem
orable year for the struggle Of equal
rights and American ideals. The
year will gee tariff raform accom-
plished or under way, for if the
present Congress does not at the
present session, make substantial
reductions, the people in November
will elect those pledged to do so. .

The Situation.

Walter Wellman, one Of the most
experienced and widely known
newspaper correspondents in this
country. in a special from Washing
ton to the Chicago Record Herald,
Sunday, sizes up the presidential
situation as follows, in which allow
ance must be made for his having
decided Republican propensities:
"What are known as the Roose-
welt policies have won the support
of a great majority Of the people Of
hll political parties. These policies
are so we'll known, have been so
much discussed, they need not here
be described.
1t is perfectly safe to say that if
one Of the great political parties
were to name acandidate who stood
in the minds of the masses for per
petuation Of Rooseveltism and the
other great political party were
to name a candidate who in
/ the opinion Of the people stood for
dropping those policies, the first
would surely de elected president.
And it would not matter which
party named which.
There are four representatives
of Rooseveltism before the Ameri-
can people, as judged by the people
themselves, and only four. Just
four who have taken high place in
the estimation of the people as sat
isfactory agents for carrying on the
work which Roosevelt began.
First and foremost, Of course,
is Roosevelt himself. This is why
l have said and still say, that be-
fore it will nominate an anti-Roose-
velt candidate the Republican par
| ty will force the President to run.
Second oddly enoughJ in pop
ular esteem is a member, the lead
er OF the opposition party, none
other than Col Bryan.
Third stands Secretary Taft, the
chosen and logical and promising
t bearer of the Presidents colors.
Fourth we find the Senator from
Wisconsin, whose out-Roose-
velting of Roosevelt in Congress has
endeared him tn millions of men IN
all parts of the country, especially
/ in the West.
If the Democrats name Bryan
and the Republicans an opponent
Of the Roosevelt policy (or one the
/ people think is a opponent, which
means the same thing) Bryan will
| be elected.
If the Republicans nominate
| Taft and the Dem ocrats think to
win by taking the other tack and

about making returns from the one
