10 DESTROY WORK OF HUGHES

4 W ITH Governor Hughes shelved on the
Supreme Court bench the bosses of New
York State politics are to lose no time in saugh-
tering all his proposed reforms They will not
wait, if they have their way, for the governor
10 leave the state for Washington. They make
no pretense OF concealing their Joy because of
his departure The direct primary law was de-
nfe1ted without any consideration for Hughes
The Committee Rules of the New York
legislature is composed entirely of reactionaries
Inen who want TO kill off everything that savors
Tvof Hughes. Since the announcement that
b Hughes would go on the Supreme bench the
lobbyists of the corporations have been over
running Albany. They will not wait for Hughes
to depart before restoring the "old davs" The
Lobbyists are demanding that all the Hughes
measures that In any way affect corporations
shall be defeated, and the indications are that the
orders of the lobbyists will be obeyed
This means that all amendments to the Pub-
lie Service Commission law, and the telephone
and telegraph bill will be thrown upon the Junk
heap Election reform bills will be allowed to
slumber The resolution looking to a larger in
vestgaton OF graft will not, of course. be
pressed. Measures for the protection of the
states interests in the Adirondack regions will
be tossed into the waste basket. In fact. the
reactionaries, that is the men who serve private
and not public interests, are ready for grand
old carnival
Perhaps when Roosevelt returns he NAV be
able to straighten out the Republican party in
New York State. but it looks at present as If
It were preparing for big defeat.

Pilgrimage to Dover.

Dover Index.
The visit Of so many of the mem-
bers of the Philadelphia Sons Of Della
ware to Dover was a happy and ap-
propriate event last week. This or
ganization is made up of some of the
most successful business and profess
sional men of Philadelphia, who were
born in Delaware or are descended
from former Delaware families and
their love for the old home has brought
them together as a very successful and
enjoyable organization. We hope they
will conclude to make an annual pill
grimage to Dover, and we are sure
when Dover people understand this fu-
ture receptions will be even more cor
dial than the one extended on short
notice on Saturday last.

TO OPPOSE HIGH FREIGHT RATES.

II HERE is more trouble for the railroad COM
i panies. The large shippers and CONNER
cal organizations are perfecting plans to
fight the threatened increase in freight rates. A
conference will be held in Chicago to-day. The
Manufacturers Association OF New York and
the Pittsburg and Baltimore Chambers of Com
merce will be represented as well as minor
bodies. The meeting will be under the auspices
of the Illinois Manufacturers Association. The
increase to be fought, is estimated at SIoooo
GOO year.
1t will be recalled that the railroad compan-
les in many instances resisted the demands Of
their men for higher wages They have also
been complaining of governmental interference
intimating that the profits of the companies
would be damaged. Then it was said by OUT
siders that the problem was easy All the COM
panies would have to do. would be to increase
freight and passenger rates to make up for in
crease in wages of employees But the compan-
les knew better than these off-hand advisors that
increase in rates would bring trouble from the
shippers. More money in wages with no in
crease in rates would mean that the companies
would have to be contented with smaller profits.
That is the rub

Improved Student Physique.
New York World.
Tho comparisons between the Yale
classes of 1864 and 1910 which the
medical examiner for the university
has made on the basis of physical
measurements disclose a notable i'm
provement i'm student physique during
a generation. The gain in height has
been negligible. but in weight amounts
to sixteen pounds, while there has been
distinct increase in the girth of neck
and chest. The present senior class is
generally taller heavier and stronger
than the wartime class.
This gain in physique has been at
tanned in spite of cigarettes and in the
face Of those excesses both of luxury
and of athletics which have occasioned
concern among educators and made the
modern college youth the despair OF
the moralist AS respects physique at
least he appears to have triumphed
over the demoralizing tendencies OF
undergraduate life. Having the sound
body. there is hope for his mind and
morals.

GETTING TOGETHER IN CONGRESS.

IT looks as if Congress were getting down 70
y hard business. Democratic prophets who
have been declaring that the Republicans were
going to smash and could not enact any legisla-
ton will have another disappointment to add 20
their large collection.
The House passed the Railroad BILL and the
Senate by a large vote has adopted the
long and short haul clause" over which
there has been so much contention. 1t was
said that this was an irreconcilable difference
which would cause the defeat of all measures of
the railroad companies.
AS adopted by the Senate the long and short
haul provision prohibits any railroad from
charging a lower rate for long haul than it
does for shorter haul over the same line, unless
the Interstate Commerce Commission author
izes il to do so.
The commission cannot grant such authority
until it makes a thorough inquiry to determine
whether circumstances or conditions of the
longer haul are dissimar from those OF the
shorter haul"
Before the amendment was made to the bill,
it was left to the railroads themselves to deter
mine the rates. And it is needless to say that
the railroad companies would find no difficulty
in reasoning that the difference in rates was
justified. They have been able TO justify the low
rates to the Pacific Coast and high rates to in
terror points the ground that water COMPETE
ton constitutes dissimilar conditions And by
the same occult reasoning they have justified
discriminating rates as they affect Delaware
1t NAV be interesting to note that during the
debate on the amendment Senator Bailey, the
Democratic leader, made strong argument in
opposition to the long and short haul clause.
Bailey seems to be very friendly to the special
interests when they need him.

ROOSEVELT PUT THEM TO SLEEP.


A HEART rendng story comes from
1 Berlin. While Colonel Roosevelt was de-
livering his long ana somewhat scholarly address
at the University of Berlin the other day few OF
the German professors went to sleep and their
nodding became noticeable. BY way OF explain
alton. it is said, the room was warm, and the
sleeping was done mostly by the older proies-
sors At first mention the story seems rdcu-
lous How could anybody sleep with the Hon
Theodore Roosevelt in hailing distance! Might
as we'll think Of a small boy asleep while Des-
perado was diving at the circus.
But it must be admitted that there was moth
ing very striking in the Presidents Berlin
address. There was nothing startling. The adj
dress was long and OF a historical nature and
perhaps the German professors decided that they
could read it at their leisure. In a warm room
in a comfortable chair. and after meal, it is
hard for some people to keep awake A monot-
Gus voice talking sentence after sentence seems
- lure one TO sleep.
Whatever the excuse may be, one of the in
terestng "reminiscences of the Roosevelt tour
will be the story that he talked the German pro-
fessors to sleep. VIII Roosevelt as a cure for
insomnia become one of the odd possb-
ties?
