LOCALGAS SITUATION AGAIN
TO THE FORE.

The revival Of acute interest, In Con-
gress, concerning the gas situation in
Washington is a matter of congratula-
ton to the people of Washington and
70 their friends who have been fighting
for years TO compel fair treatment by
III" Gas monopoly. The friends of
Washington have now instituted. in
both houses Of Congress movements
to prevent further imitation of the cap
itslization of the companies.
When the Mclean faction in the
Washington Gas Company. about two
years ago, undertook to secure legisla-
tion under which to increase the cap
itslization by from S5.OOO,OOO to
S7,OOO,OOO, the project aroused such vio-
lent opposition that. being exposed in
its real colors by The Washington
Times, it died early.
That exposure aroused the stock
holders of the company to realize that
the property was being handled. pri-
msrily, in the interest of the holders
of the certificates of Indebtedness. Since
that time the factional division i'm the
company has been growing more and
more sharp. But at all times II has
been, between these factions. a mere
question of which should reap the bic
benefits by the recapitalization.
No matter which should get the big
bonus, the public would have to pay
the bills Therefore, The Times has
opposed any effort at recapitalizatioT
without The direct and specific author
ity of Congress, in connection with a
very plain provision for the pub!ic''
interest.
Senator Brown in the upper house
and Representative Coudrey in Tn,
lower, have now introduced resolutions
looking TO the prevention Of any eX
pansion of capitalization. Both thes,
gentlemen want a thorough investiga
tion of the affairs of the gas com
pany, and there is every reason 10 he
lieve that investigation will be secured
Meanwhile the whole matter is IL
such status that the Gas monopoly
will he ehsry of any more attempts
10 carve the melon Of millions in di
rect defiance of the plainly hostile opin
ion of Congress. It looks more thar
ever before as If there was a goo,
prospect for some sane, constructive
modern legislation to govern this high
ly important public utility.
The Washington times., 1910-02-19

the establishment of the patent appeal
court have been many times set forth
and it is not necessary 20 recount them
It is sufficient TO say that the proposed
legislation is in the interest Of the
inventor and that II has the support
of those who want TO so strengthen
the patent system of the country that
the man who invents something will
have chance for his life and will be
on even terms with those great con
Germs which are interested in the onn-
trolling of patents covering wide
range.
The bill would give the proposed
court jurisdiction TO hear and deter
mine appeals and writs of error from
final judgments and DEGREES IN circuit
courts Of the United States in cases
arising under the laws relating TO pat
ents for inventions. The decisions Of
the court of patent appeals are to be
final within its appellate jurisdiction,
though. of course. the Supreme Court
NAV review decisions in certain cases.
The expense of the court would not
he great. as the associate justices would
be drawn from the different circuits for
service at an annual session. The bill
should receive from the Senate the
attention it deserves and should be
enacted into law.

Kansas Studies RaIes.

A CRY To- copies Of the rules Of the
n Housr Of Representatives comes out
Of kansas It is an indication, II one were
needed. mat Speaker Cannon and the
rules win be the issue in the Kansas
Congressional elections OF next fall.
They seem 10 think" said a "resu-
lar representative. that they have
talked long enough on the rules without
knowing anything about them
With the yeomanry OF Kansas deep IN
study Of the rules there are perlious
days ahead for Congressional canoi-
dates II is a fact that the House rules
are as complicated as is the statute
law and that not more than 10 per cent
o. the membership OF the House are
familiar with them. A citizen who stud
led the book could load up with Ques-
tions that would puzzle Uncle Joe
himself.
In TACT, the Speaker has an expert AZ
his elbow when ne presides, 10 post him
regarding knotty questions that may
arise during the proceedings. A Speak
or. ike a Judge, places great weight on
the decisions Of rs predecessors. Rul'
ings made by sp- allers OF the House
since the first Congress have been pre-
served in a set OF large volumes and
quotations miqFt oe useful in confusing
Speakers be,aus. the ample volumes
contain decisiors on all sides OF al
questions.
Kansas may become technical but II
the rest cf the country. where Cannon
ism becomes an issue. the fight will b
waged on the general question whether
| the rules confer too much power On th'
| Sneaker and whether wise use Is made
| of that power

SENATOR TLLMAN'S BATTLE
WITH DISEASE.

Monday of this week, as Senator
Benjamin Ryan TiIlman of South Caro-
lima was leaving the Senate, he reeled
and nearly fell. and since that time he
has been confined 10 his bed with
grave illness that threatens his life.
He is suffering from progressive Parsly-
sis. a dread affliction at best, and his
friends and relatives fear he will never
reco~-r. His colleagues in the Senate
are also greatly concerned over his
condition.
Senator TiIlman, since the day he
entered the Senate in 1895, has been
a unique figure in that body. The
barbed arrows of his sarcasm have
struck at many an opponent. 1t was
with reason that he earned the so
briquet of "Pitchfork" and with reason
that it has chung TO him Not = COL
Iege man. he Is surpassed by few OF
his colleagues in the extent OF his
reading or in his mastery of a clear,
terse. pointed. and picturesque variety
of English. In many ways, he has been
a force for good in the Senate and on
different occasions he has been en-
abIed to turn the tide OF legislation
in the right direction. For instance, at
the time of the fight in the Senate In
terstate Commerce Committee over the
question OF railroad rate regulation
Senator Tillman aligned himself Ia
favor of regulation Other instances
might be cited.
Few public men have won more warm
friends and few have made more en-
emies or more bitter ones. Despite
his predilection for trouble, Senator
Tillman has the affection Of his Sen,
ate colleagues. They and the country
will hope that he may be spared foi
further Senate service, though the out
look therefor Is not bright.
a strong character, it Is interesting
to know that Senator Tillman has
been able TO bear the burden of danger
GUS illness with courage and philoso
phv. There is something to admire il
the fact that caller who visited hin
the other evening. after his attack o.
last Monday. found him propped up il
bed reading the life OF John c. Cal
/ houn.
