Eugene w. Chain. candidate of
the Prohibition party for president in
the last campaign made a speech in
the Prohibition county convention at
Milwaukee last week in which he not
only swatted the republican and demo
cratic parties as usual, but also
savagely attacked the antisaloon
league and denounced county option,
coupling his deuunciation with the
expressed hope that county option in
Wisconsin will fail to receive support
this year. notwithstanding the fact
that where the liquor traffic has been
wiped out it has been done in a non
political way-temperance people
joining hands and working together,
regardless of party, for common
cause, regardless of their political
affiliations. and in spit of the fact
that the prohibition party has not
elected a candidate to any important
office in forty years, the genial Gene
insistst that local option is fraud
and that political prohibition is the
only real article and the only thing
worth having,

all bedecked in holiday attire. These
were divided into twevle divisions,

and making procession several miles
in length
The ex-president stepped ashore at
l clock, where be was met by the
reception committee and a brief ad-
dress of welcome given by Mayor
Gaynor, to which he as briefly
responded. The din of the cheering
crowds, the blowing of thousands
of whistles and every other conciev
able sort of noise made it necessary
for the two speakers to put their hands
up to their mouths and shout their
speeches into each other ears,
The usual Roosevelt luck" was
in evidence throughout the day. The
early morning had threatened rain,
but about the time Mr. Roosevelt left
the ship the clouds cleared away and
day or brilliant sunshine ensued
until late in the afternoon, after he
had departed with the members of his
family for Oyster Bay, Long Island,
when the SKY again became overcast
and there followed a terrific storm Of
wind and rain which created much
damage in the city, but by the time
the strenuous ex presidents Uyain had
reached his home village the skies
had cleared again and made possible
another big demonstration by his
admiring fellow citizens.
He is the same Teddy as when he
went away. Strong, rugged, deeply
bronzed by exposure to the tropical
sun, but the same impetuous,
demonstrative and earnest manner
and the same display of glittering
teeth accompanying his expansive
smile.

ROOSEVELT'S RETURN.

The return home of ex-President
Roosevelt last Saturday, after an
absence of fifteen months in Africa
and Europe, was signalized by a
welcome such as never before was
given to any American citizen.
Hundreds of thousands of people from
all parts of the United State had as
ssembled in the nations metropolis
to take part in the demonstrations of
welcome and millions shouted their
greeting to the man who is just now
the most talked of and probably the
most popular man in the world.
The vessel in which he had made
the ocean trip home, the Kaiserine
August Victoria, reached quarantine,
just outside New York harbor, in the
early morning and Mr.. Roosevelt
and party were taken onto the little
government transport Androscoggin
for the water parade down the harbor,
led by the battle snip South Carolina
and several torpedo boat destroyers.
the former believing out a deafening
welcome salute of 81 guns, the highest
honor ever accorded private citizen.
In the naval escort were 800 vessels,

The railroad rate bill, which has
been fighting its devious way through
congress for a number of months past.
during which it has met with many
notifications from the form in which
it was first offered, has finally passed
and become law by the affixing of
the Presidents signature. The essential
points for which the president cen
tended are retained in the bill as it
finally passed. including the creation
of commerce court to expedite the
work of the Interstate commerce
commission and to broaden the powers

THE RAILROAD SITUATION.

It may be as the railroads claim,
that they did not file their new tariffs
and otherwise proceed to make
effective the advance in rates at this
time in order to escape the provisions
of the amended interstate commerce
law which is now enacted. The
fact remains that this law will
make a proceeding like the con-
templated immediate and drastic in
crease in rates altogether impossible.
1t is one of the crying defects of
the Roosevelt law. which the Taft
administration was bent on perfecting,
that it compels the interstate COM
MERGE commission to file any new rail-
road tariff as legal fact and then to
wait for someone to make complaint
before any action can be taken. More
than that, the railroads, if they chose
to fight an adverse finding Of the com
mission, could drag the litigation
through the courts to the customary
tune Of delay.
This is just the course which events
would have taken in the present rate
advance made by the western railroads
if the federal government had not
proceeded against them by injunction
on the ground of conspiracy in
restraint of trade. It was wholly
beyond the power of the interstate
commerce commission under its
present laws of government to prevent
the new rates from becoming effective,
and such time as would have been
required to establish their unreason-
ableness in the courts. if they were
unreasonable. would have given the
railroads all the leeway they desired.
So, when the roads protested that
they were perfectly willing to have
their action adjudicated by the inter
state commerce commission, they were
adopting wholly hypocritical pose.
since they knew tull we'll that the
commission was in no position to
checkmate their move, however much
it might feel justified in doing SO.
And just as our traction magnates
know this, so also do they know that
the law that has just been passed
provides that the commission on
its own initiative may suspend the
operation of any new rates for four
months with a possible extension of
six months more, and if before the end
of that time the commission orders
that the rates shall not become
effective, they will not become so
unless a court rules to the contrary.
They know further that there will
be a commerce court to expedite the
trial of rate cases aud that the delay
now possible in the courts will be
reduced to a minimum.
1t is not our purpose to pass on the
legitimacy of the rate advance which
had been contemplated by the various
railroads; we would but point out
that there was evident a certain lack
of good faith in taking this step just
prior to the enactment of the new
railroad law and that the government
took the only course, and shrewd
one. to hold in allegiance this whole
sale onslaught on the. pocketbooks of
shippers. Free Press

Among the Lancaster boys who
have made good" in their chosen
profession is Major Eugene R. Whit
more, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Eugene
Whitmore of this city. Since his
graduation from the Lancaster high
school in 1892 he has pushed steadily
ahead until he row stands in the
front rank of our government scientists.
News OF the result of his latest re-
search work in TIE Philippine Islands
was received by his parents few days
ago By discovering the presence of
Negri bodies in dug stricken with
rabies and in an otherwise healthy
rabbit inoculated from the dog he
proved to a body of scientists the
prevalence of hydrophobia in the
Philippines. This settles a controversy
of long standing between two promi-
nent Manila scientists one of whom
has claimed that hvdrophobia existed
in the islands and the other who
claimed the disease was a rarity.
Major Whitmore's achievement is
of great Importance to the government
and he has now been sent abroad to
study methods Of treating the disease
which he has conclusively shown is
the cause of great mortality in the
Philippines yearly The value of his
work may be better realized when the
difficulty of carrying on such research
in that part of the world is taken into
consideration.
