SENATOR BAILEY IS A CAN

Senator Joseph ". Bailey Of Texas
has announced that he VIII be can
didate for the Senate IN the genera
Democratic primary which VIII be held
IN his State in 1912. It Is slso an
nouneed that 4. 6. Lee, Of Denton.
VIII be a candidate against Mr.. Bailey
on reform platform
This means that Texas has ahead
Of it another bitter Bailey and anti
Bailey fight. of the sort which has 50
wrought up the State in the past
Senator Bailey VIII perhaps be able
TO get himself renominated and re-
elected. but 1t viii not be without
hard struggle. The opposition to him,
while it has been sometimes defeated,
has never been pIaeated- 1t has never
gotten over the prejudice stirred
against Senator Bailey by the charges
made against him in connection with
the Pierce Oil Company, and 1t
looks as If. no matter how long Sen
ator Bailey may remain IN public life,
he NAV be assured OF the hostility OF
a powerful element IN Texas.
As a member Of the Senate, Senator
Bailey has shown himself to be out OF
sympathy with many reform move
ments. and with much Of the reform
legislation proposed. A brilliant con
stitutiouaI lawyer, he has found, as
he beIIves, in the Constitution numer-
Gus obstacles TO some Of these reforms
In view of the spread Of the progress
i've movement IN the country, 1t may
be expected Senator Bailey has ahead

his stirring political career

SHOULD LOOK OUT FOR
COUNTERFEIT MONEY.

While nobody, IN this enlightened,
meteorological age, would advise PEG
pie 10 do such an uBsanitary thing as
bite their money to make sure it IS
good, vet the Secret Service urges
that everybody examine his lucre care
fully and thereby help the Government
in its campaign against eounterfeiters-
There are other methods Of determin-
ING whether money Is spurious, and
Chief WIIkfe earnestly recommends
that they be adopted, by the general
nublie. He makes the excellent sugges-
ton that when receiving change one
should serutinize 1t closely, for the
purpose OF making as short as pos
sfble what the Secret Service calls the
life OF counterfeit money II one
suspects that the person who gives
him or attempts TO give him counter
felt money has done so knowingly, ne
should Immediately report the incident
Such cooperation on the part Of the

AFRATERNAL EXCHANGE OF
WAR RELICS.

The passing years have brought
many evidences that the bitterness
eurendered BY the civil war has soft
aned into fraternal love and mutual
esteem. such as brave men always 1eel
toward worthy foemen. Two incidents
have occurred within a few weeks Of
each other which furnish touching
illustration of the fact that an era
Of good feeling now prevails, typified
bv the rust and roses in the can
mons mouth"
The historic Richmond Blues Of the
Virginia capital recently dedicated a
new armory. and among the guests
was a Union veteran from Connecti-
cut. who was attracted by the pOr-
trait of a former commander of Com

wise. who was billed IN the battle of
Roanoke Island early IN 1852. The
Connecticut visitor had Seen an eye
witness OF his death, and through all
these forty-eight years had preserved
button shot from the young cap

his return home ne transmitted it to
the Richmond Blues, together with a
letter which breathed the spirit OF
fraternity and esteem, and the relic

RAILROADS WILL LIVE UP TO
THE NEW LAW.

4 conference Of railway attorneys,
representing leading roads Of the coun-
Try, has been held at Portsmouth. y.
Il, the past week At this conference.
the subject OF consideration was the
new railroad law, lately passed by Con
gress, which VIII go into effect August
L, with the exception Of two sections
Of It which went into effect on passage
As announced by General Solicitor
Edgar j. Rich, of the Boston and
Maine, the conference has been held
for the purpose Of constituting the new
act and advising railway officials what
they must do in order TO comply with
1t in letter and spirit The railroads,
ss disclosed IN the conference of at
tomeys, have no disposition to evade
The law, but TO cooperate with the IN
terstate Commerce Commission in en-
forcing II.
Mr.. Rich ADDS this z:gnifcant state
ment.
There has undoubtedly been a
change of attitude Of the railroads and
counsel toward Government regula-
tons within the last few years. This
undoubtedly IS due principally 20 the
education which has been the result OF
continued agitation against railroads.
That Is TO say, the intelligent rail
road men Of the country have passed
the point Of opposing Government reg
UlatiOn- They have accepted the view
that a railroad Is not a private con
Csrn, but a public service institution to
be controlled by the Government The
decision Of the railroad attorneys al
Portsmouth TO live up 20 the new law
IN letter and spirit Is IN accordance
with this view. any other course
would be the extreme OF folly 1t Is
70 be noted that the railroad attor-
neys on anaiyzing the new law find II
fa--reaching, especially the long and
short haul provision contained IN it.
Among a limited number of manag
els OF public service corporations II
the country, the old notion of owing
no responsibility to the public stiI
prevails. Among the intelligent mel
who control the destinies Of the bis
railroads, this antiquated notion Ia,
been banished.
