him to give up his seat in the senate
until such a time as the law has deter
mined his exact legal and moral status
In view of the nasty scandal that has
been stirred up in Illinois over his cleo

such action voluntarily and awaited

course, until proven guilty but the
evidence is such that the situation de-

The railroad bill was yesterday
passed 10y the house and is now mp tC
the senate. A gratifying feature OF
the acceptance of the bill by the house
was the manner i'm which the insur-
gents and regulars finally united In
support of the measure. For some
time during the period i'm which the
hill was a subject of debate consider
able confusion reigned and 1t looked
as If the measure would be hacked to
pieces before it was passed. However
as passed by the house it fortunately
retains most of it's important features
and If passed by the senate will make
many changes i'm railroad legislation
all beneficial to the shipper. 1t creates
commerce court to adjudicate cases
on appeal from the Interstate commerce
commission and one of its best fea-
lures is the long and short haul clause
providing that railroads cannot charge
more for short haul than for a long
haul over the same line. Stock and
bond issues of railroads are controlled
by the bill, and telegraph and tele-
phone companies are placed under the
control of the commerce commission.
During the discussion of the bill i'm
the house there was a disposition on
part of the regulars to blame the in
surgents for the confused situation.
They tried to make il appear that the
insurgents were seeking to Obstruct
legislation. TO block the passage of i'm
portant bills. To hamper the acminis-
tration program Of law making and all
that sort Of thing. But the final pass
age of the railroad measure. retaining
its best features. and the stand of the
insurgents alongside the regulars i'm
the final vote. shows the insurgents
had no thought of blocking legislation,
but that they simply insisted the
rights of shippers and the public be
safe guarded. In this respect they
were successful.
When the bill went to the house ii
was introduced there with a section
which would have allowed railroads
the highly dangerous power Of making
traffic agreements and would have re-
CURED these agreements merely to be
filed with the Interstate Commerce
Commission. The insurgents attacked
This proposition, forced the regulars
to shift their position and ultimately
drove them to striking out, i'm both
senate and house all provision for
traffic agreements on condition that
rate increases, i'm pursuance of such
agreements. be not permitted until APP
proved by the Interstate Commerce
Commission. Confronted with this
prospect, the regulars turned i'm and
eliminated Section entirely. What is
true of Section Z is true of the bill
generally. The insurgents did not fight
railroad legislation. They simply in
sisted that nothing should go that
would not stand the light of thorough
inspection on the floor of senate and
house. and that when the bill was fin
ally passed il would be a measure i'm
the interest of the public, a real step
toward stricter regulation of railroads,
and that il would be minus certain
features widely looked on as jokers.

The comet is disappointing to some.
IT does not sputter like unto a Fourth

II resembles a nice white lantern left
out on some sky street by a careless
night Waterman. 1t certainly doesn't
look as If it would cause floods or
droughts or the sleeping sickness. 1t
has, in fact disturbed more sleep than
probably any other phenomenon of
modern times. There is not doubt at
all that the world at large will rest a
good deal easier when the comet dis
appears. Think of the danger some
people are in of acquiring the early
