National Convention of the NJ.
w. A. at Buffalo. N.
Y, has returned home. Mr.. Plunkett
reports great meeting.
The Missouri delegation was the
most conspicuous of all others, Mr..
Plunkett says. 1t was due to the
unique badge worn by the delegates
from this State. The badge was a
large cAcular plate with the like
ness Of ouis Roberts, the director,
in tie celter, and on the outer edge
tho name of the State. I'VE Can
Show You, Show Us" was also on
The badge.
The badges were much sought af-
ter by People from other States and
Mr.. Plurkett says New York man
was trying to buy one for a ten-dol-
lar bill.
The royelty of the badge put the
Missouri visitors in the limelight at
BaffalG
Another feature of the convention
was the large number of M, w. AS
encamped. Six thousand boys met,
and the parade, a grand sight, was
so long that it took two hours to
pass given point. There were
sixteen aEreast in the parade and,
when this is considered, one can
barely imagine the number partici-
pating.
Buffalo treated the visitors royal
ly, Mr.. Plunkett says. The city was

the work to the railroad commission, pre-

Railroad Bill as a Model.
THE MISREPRESENTATION bill furnishes
a model for the aDtion Of Congress upon
matters involving minute and scientific
investigation. Had we followed the same

regarding railroads we would have made
much better progress In trust regulation.
The antitrust act was passed twenty-one
years ago, about the same TIME that the
railroad commission was organized. The
railroad question is practically settled
the settlement OF the trust question has
hardly been: commenced.
Had we submitted the administration
of the antitrust act to an impartial
quasi-judicial tribunal similar to the in
terstate commerce commission, instead of
to the Attorney Generals Office, with it's
shilling officials its varying policies, it's
lack Of tradition. record and precedent,
we would by this time have made graft
flying progress In the regulation and con-
troll of trusts, through the quasi-judicial
Investigations of a comp etent commits
sion and through legislation based upon
its recommendations. AS it il, with the
evasive and shifting incumbency and adj
ministration of the Attorney Generals
office. Oftentimes purely political in char
acter, we find that the trusts are more
powerful today than when the antitrust
act was passed, and that evns have
grown up SO interviewer with the general
business of the country as to make men
tremble At the consequence OF their dis
ruption."

A tariff commission to deal with tarin
rates just as the interstate commerce
commission deals with railroad rates was
advocated by Senator Newlands in a
speech in the Senate this afternoon.
II a republican Congress fixed the rules.
Senator Newlands suggested, the tariff
commission would have power to reduce a
certain duty in excess of the difference
in the cost of production at home and
abroad, with fair profit to the manu-
facturer added. Under a democratic Con-
gress the rule of tariff duties for revenue
only he suggested as the one that would
prevail.
Senator Newlands was speaking spe-
officially on the new rule proposed Dy
Senator Cummins to aid a revision OF the
tariff schedule by schedule.
