Mr.. Rrandies then introduced se-

OF Mr.. Brandeis:

Washington, oct. 13.-TWo presi-
dents OF great American railroad sys-
TENS today contributed their view of
the proposed advance in freight rates
IN eastern trunk lines territory at the
investigation into the proposed tariffs
by the interstate commerce commits
sion
The witnesses were President Dam
iel L. Willard, OF the Baltimore and
Ohio company and President w G.,
Brown Of the New York Central lines.
Both officials presented arguments
for the advance
Marked similarity characterized
the statements of President Willard
and President Brown. Neither placed
the responsibility for the proposed in
crease in rates wholly upon recent
advances in wages, although both as
seerted that the wage Increase had
been en- important facotr.
President Brown declared that inn
proyement and betteTment of rail-
road properties to furnish adequate
transportation facilities could be ac-
complished only through an increase
of the freight income. lie said that
under present conditions. il had been
shown to he impossible TO obtain the
money necessary 20 make proposed
improvements and he applehended
that the responsibility would con
tinue until such time es the railroads
were able 20 secure what he regarded
as an adequate return on investments.
President Brown had not been cN-
cused from the witness stand when
adjournment was taken this evening.
Mr.. Willard presented clarifying
statement oil the disbursements per
dollar earned by the Baltimore and
Ohio during the fiscal years 1910 and
1900.
Or. willard stId he could see no
way 20 maintain the policy of the
Baltimore and Ohio to furnish
prompt and adequate service without
an increase in freight rates.
II am forced to that conclusion
he declared. "Our expenses have
been increased during the last Tive
Years by legislation. The act regulat-
ing the hours of labor and the en-
ployers' liability act. TO neither one
OF which / am opposed, have addcc

THE proposed increase in freight
rates should be granted. partly az

penses. If We possibly can rccoup

GOING AFTER ROOSEVELT.

Judge Simeon Baldwin, democratic
governor-elect of Connecticut, has de-
termined to tring suit for slandef
against Col. Roosevelt, because of the
colonel's Misrepresentation of his iu-
dicial holdings ON certain questions,
and yesterday filed libel proceedings
against Roosevelt. The colonel AS
sailed Judge Baldwin's findings of
aw and misrepresented the language
Of toe decision to serve his political
purposes of the moment Judge Bald
win, in respectful and wholly o.s
passionate letter, pointed out to the
colonel the wrong he had done and
asked that he make reparation by
public acknowledgement of his error
Tie colonel not only refused to dc
this but he repeated and persisted in
MS misrepresentation of Judge Bald
wins judicial DEGREES, and the judge
mas determined that he shall be made
offense.
1t will be new experience for
Col. Roosevelt to be brought up sharp
" before a competent tribunal to re
aponsibility for public utterance. He
has zone about the land for a goof
many years making reckless state
ments about people, misrepresenting
facts as it suited him and misinter-
preting records to serve his selfish
ends and nobody has held him to
r+r nj
course has brought him to repu-
tation for "habitual inveracity," as
someone has recently described his
case, and that, perhaps, Is sufficient
for personal punishment Of nim, since
it must destroy his credit with reput-
able men, and so severely limit his
influence in public affairs, but direct
accountability to authority and judi
cial pronouncement of his offending
is desirable for the protection OF the
dignity of the great office which he
once held from the American people.
II Theodore Roosevelt wishes to give
himself the character of slanderer
and earn the contempt OF decent
men, that is his affair, but he should
be made to preserve the credit OF
an ex-president of the United States.
The colonel holds mighty little re-
gard for the courts of the land, AMI
it is not impossible that he will make
me- submission to the summons tdat
will he served upon him in the suit
Of Judge Baldwin in which case ii
will be highly edifyfng to observe

will move against him, and particular

voked the courts against his enemies
seeking to drag certain newspapers

eral government by n strained con
struction of an archaic statue, whose
effect. If enforced, would be to make
! a mockery of the Wanted right OF

! when the courts orderly process ran

MIN the Judges who rule adversely
to his interest may look out for a
flood of invective beyond anything
that has yet come from the colonel.

A NEW REPUBLIC,

If anybody has heretofore entertain
ed the least doubt as to the character
of the Portuguese revolution, the an
nounced program of the small coterie
of advanced philosophers, free-think-
ers, agnostics and socialists that
have proclaimed republic should
serve to dispel it. One of tile leading
points of the program is the eXpul-
sion of the religious orders, male
their extensive properties: another is
lay or secular instruction, whicr
means that no teaching by religious
associations will be permitted; and
still another is the separation OF
church and state. presumably on the
French plan, which includes the cul-
fscation and plundering of the churcG
Ilarerty
