THE TAFT RAILROAD MEASURE
AMENDED BY THE SENATE.
Young POINTS Not Rcachctl--Just Be.
I0re Coming to Decision Body Re-
solves to Take More Time IN Con-
Sidcrin2 amended Bill.

Washington, May 27.-At the last
mono ut before reaching the point Of
voting upon the railroad bill today,
the senate took the important step of
aoolng an amendment placing inter-
state telegraph and telephone lines
under the supervision Of the inter-
state commerce commission. This
action was followed by an effort to
restore portion of section II, affect
ing mergers, which heretofore was
voted out
Both provisions were introduced so
suddenly as to surprise the senate.
and the latter was considered so i'm
pOrtant that rather than vote upon it
without more consideration than it
vas able to give, the senate took an
adjournment until tomorrow
The action of the senate on tele-
graph and telephone companies in
sures their inclusion in some form in
the proposed law as the subject is Of
fered in the house bill. The sugges-
ton for the inclusion of telegraph,
and telephone companies within the
control of the interstate commerce
tml"isssion was made by Senator
Dixrn (Mont,), but his amendment
was @pplanted by one il simpler
form which was offered by Senator
LaFollette Of Wisconsin.
The senate had reached the voting
stage at 4 o'clock after an animated
| debate which was carried on largely
by Democrats and which dealt espe-
clally with the question as to wheth-
| er the Dolliver amendment regulat-
| ing the stock and bond issues of rail-
roads was in accordance with the last
Democratic platform.
1t had heeen supposed that action
upon the Dolliver provision would be
followed by votes upon the physical
valuation amendment offered by Mr.
| LaFol'ette and the national incor-
poration amendment Of Senator New
lands. When,' therefore, Mr.. Dixon
was recognized to present his tele-
graph amendment some surprise was
manifested. The exact languague of
the telegraph provision is carried by
the house bill. and it purported to
re-enact the first section of the pres
ent Interstate commerce law with tele-
graph and telephone companies adj
ded. 1t covers nine full pages and
much disapprobation against vot-
ing upon it without an opportunity
for examination was expressed.
While the discussion and the vot-
Ing on a motion to table were in
progress Senator LaFollette prepared
an amendment which was in form so
simple and direct that senators could
have no difficulty in comprehending
1t. Mr.. Dixon indicated a willingness
to accept this provision in place of
his own, and it went through without
even a discussion. The provision as
adopted Is as follows
THAT telegraph and telephone
companies (except wireless) transact
ing an interstate business are hereby
placed under the supervision and con-
troll Of the interstate commerce COM
mission subject to the provisions of
an act to regulate commerce approv-
ed February, 1887, which are appli-
cable thereto"
The exception of wireless was made
at the suggestion of Senator Hepburn.

Judge John G.. Brown of Frederick
town, Madison county. was solicited
by many leading Republicans to be-
come q candidate for supreme Judge.
The party Is fortunate In securing for
this important position q candidate Of
such eminent legal attainments. in
tegrity and popularity. Like all sue
cessful lawyers, he has v g been
disinclined to enter politics. but when
induced to do 70 he has always added
strength to the party ticket. In 1888
he was elected prosecuting attorney
Of hts native county Of Carter, by. a
handsome majority at q time when
thFee-f6arths OF the voters of that
county were Democrats. In 1895 he
was elected mayor Of the city of Will
low Springs. His vigorous adminstra-
ton Of that ofAce was 80 highly ap-
preciated by people Of all political
parties there that his name was, over
his objection, placed at the head OF
both tickets. and he received the un-
usual compliment Of every vote cast
at the election.
In 1898 he was the Republican can
didate for Judge Of the Twentieth Judi
cial district. At that time the Demo
cratic and Populist voters Of that
district (then thoroughly trained by
Bryan to trot In the same harness)
had about n thousand majority. In
spite Of this large majority he came
within six votes Of defeating for re-
election Judge William N. Evans, late
chairman Of the Democratic state
committee.
Judge Brown Is O hard worker and
believes that everything worth doing
at all should be done promptly, thor
oughly and with as little detail as
accuracy will permit. He has q trained
legal mind and his splendid profes-
sional skill wins the confidence of the
courts and his clients as well as the
respect Of those opposed to him. He
has always been active in the coun-
ellis of the Republican party, but his
sense Of honesty and fair dealing
commands the admiration even of the
Democratic opposition. among whom
he has thousands of personal friends.
He is so years old, in good health

mind, firmness of character and tire

In the educational thought Of his
times, Professor Evans has always
been more interested in the practical
problems of the school room than in
the theories of the doctrinaire. He
has been an active member Of the
State Teachers association since 1897
and of the National Educational asso
citation since 1898. He was for sew
eral years assistant manager for Mis-
souri, of the National Educational as
sociation and conducted parties to its
meetings. He has been a frequent
contributor to the columns of educa-
tional periodicals.

SchoolmAsters' club. In 1907 he was
made president Of the Teachers
ganization Of owe nine hundred teach.
ers, with a permanent fund of $125,.
900. He is still at the head Of this
association. In 1908 he was one of
the five hundred American teachers
who visited and studied the European
schools. He divided his time between
England and Germany.
To counterfeit the inevitable and
traditional tendencies of his profess
sion, dealing as 1t does almost wholly
with dependents, Mr.. Evans has made
1t his policy to mingle with men las
much as possible in his leisure hours.
This course has made him prominent
in civic, ~ffaternsl and religious bodies.
In 1906 he was candidate for nomi.
nation for state superintendent OF
schools before the Republican conven-
ton at Excelsior Springs.
In 1888 he was married to Miss LII.

Of one Of the old southern families
Of st. Louis. In 1908 she died leaving
two daughters. one now a Junior at
