as to whether rate is excessive or

physical valuation of the railroads
time and again, but his recommends

Senator LaFollette, in his recent
speech on the railroad bill, also urged
a physical valuation as q means Of
stopping over-capitalization. He also
pointed out, from figures furnished by
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
some Of the increased rates on lead
ing commodities. He declared in many
cases no warrant could be found for
the increases. The railroads, he said,
had simply increased rates from 80

son and no power existed to stop
them. -"Tav"

will be the Speaker. That is as GER
tain as anything that has not already
happened can be.
1t may be that Mr.. Clark will have
no opposition. Even if there is op-
position, however, his election to the
speakership is practically just as Ger
tain. In long public career Mr..
Clark has won the confidence OF the
public and the Democrats of the coun-
try, and it is the public sentiment back
Of Champ Clark which DEGREES that he
is the man best qualified to step at
the helm of Democratic house.
Even Republican newspapers and
magazines applauded the minority
leaders conduct in the fight against
the rules. He found himself so placed
that he could either play politics to
his own personal advantage, or serve
the people, and without a seconds
hesitation Mr.. Clark declared he would
do everything in his power to improve
the rules of the House.
Mr.. Clark has been offered an all
Turing sum to resume the lecture plat
form this summer and fall. He is n
poor man, but has declined to lecture
at all. Instead, he will go on the stump
! and fight for the election of Demo-
cratic Congress to revise the tariff
downward.
Champ Clark is a good man; he is
clean and clear-cut, and there is never
any doubt about where he stands,
either in fair weather or in the ex-
element Of crisis. He is absolutely
unsophisticated so far as knowing the
meaning of an alliance of any sort Or
interests. His associations politically,
socially and commercially are clean
and wholesome, and he is personally
kind hearted, considerable of the other
fellow, fair and just.

Nor is that all. 1t is understood to
be the plan of the roads in the East

still more far-reaching and general
advances in freight rates to become
effective on September l. The pro-
posed increase, it is said, will range
from per cent. on sixth-class freight
and 20 per cent. on the first three
classes of freight with corresponding
increases on commodity rates.

have to pay it in the increased cost
OF goods over the counters. AS the
only possible way to get redress from
the railroads, the shippers are petit
tioning the attorney general to prose-
cute the railroads for violation Of the
anti trust law. But nothing will come
of this
1T is recognized by rate students
that the American public does not be-
lieve in the persecution of the rail-
roads. They are the arteries of the
nations commerce, and no one wishes
to see them hampered unnecessarily
The people are also DESTROYS that the
railroads shall make reasonable,
even generous profit, on capital actu-
ally invested.
On the other hand. however, it is
beginning to be realized that rail-
road corporations should occupy a.
somewhat different footing from
manufacturing and mercantile cor
porations. The railroads are, to a
considerable extent national high
ways. They have taxing power
which Is being abused and which, if
the railroads persist in taking advan-
tage of the helplessness of the ulti-
mate consumer, must ultimately be
curbed in some way. While the pub
lie is willing to have railroad invest
ors make a fair profit on capital in
vested, discomfort IL being expressed
because the railroads are forcing the
people to pay millions of dollars an
nually as interest on alleged invest
ments that exist only in Imagination
and are represented by nothing more
material than watered stock.

nineteen TO Professor Barnard thirteen TO Pro-

figures compare very favOrably with the thir-
teen comets discovered by Messier between

only the amount of sIdewIse displacement Of
the sail from mast TO end OF boom; that IS five

once more his efforts met with success. IN
