INTERuReAN SYSTEM
Means Much To Both Town
And Country.

Each passing day brings the plans
OF the Ky. Southwestern Electric
Railroad Light g. Power Co. nearer to
realization. In its early stages, the
promotion OF this road may have had
doubtful hue as belonging to the
bubble class. But 1t has passed that
point Every indication is that the
road will be built. With the excep-
ton OF two. al the towns on the
proposed route have fallen into line
and are giving the officials of the
road their hearty support
In conversation with Hickman
merchant on this subject last week
The point was raised as to whether
the new road would not HAYES ten

city. There is logical answer TO
tha' question but since we have the
proof OF the puddln" at hand. we
viii quote a letter from e. @. Lock
year, secretary OF the Evansville Re-
tail Merchants Association: Unless
one has studied the question from
every standpoint we might think that
a given territory has only so much
trade or commerce In Il and that
whatever goes 90 the large city
would be taken away from the small
community. and that therefore the
prosperity Of Evansville would be at
the expense of the surrounding
towns. Nothing can be farther from
the facts. have on file at my Of
flee a large number OF letters In an
swer TO inquiries sent out to mer-
chants in the surrounding towns ask
ing whether interurban railways
have been benefit or an injury to
their town. and whether the individ-
ual businesses have been injured or
benefited by the interurban railway !
More than 30 per cent Of these mer-
chants. after having done business
both With and without the interurban |
railway say that their business has
been increased by the introduction
OF the interurban."
Princetown merchants also praise
this road.
Princeton Is a small but prosper
GUS city. and this is only one OF the
many instances which show from ex-
perience that IL is fallacy to look
TO the interurban as an injury to
towns.
II is only a question of a short
time when interurban lines will
thread Western Kentucky. and towns
that are not on one OF the lines will
be unfortunate. These lines will fur
nish cheaper passenger and freight
rates from all points touched. will in
crease traffic aud cheaper the va
rious commodities ia corresponding

WANTS TO BE SHERIFF.

Sid Handy tells us that he has a
bout concluded to enter the race for
Sheriff of Fulton county. which vir-
tually means that he will be a can
didate. There is no reason why Sid
should not make his presence felt
in the campaign. He has the qualifi-
cations of a good officer. For several
years he has been on the police force
OF this city, and in this capacity he
has certainly made good. Consequent
ly, there is no experiments to be
made as to his ability to enforce the
law. He has a host of friends who
viii give him their hearty support.
Alright, Sid-let 'er go.

SHARP ATTACK ON
MONETARY BOARD
Burton Makes Reply to Cum
minis and Hepburn.

A vigorous attack was made in the
Senate yesterday upon the National
Monetary Commission and former Senator
Aldrich, its chairman, by Senator Cum
minis, Of Iowa, aided by Senator Hey
burn, of Idaho. Mr.. Cummins precipi-
tated the debate by calling up his bill
which demands Il report from the none
tary commission by December next and
its immediate disbandment thereafter.
Coming to the defense of the commits
sion. of which he is a member, Senator
Burton, of Ohio said it would be unwise
to require a report by December 4. as
there would be difficulty in getting the
members together far enough in advance
of the assembling of Congress in De
cember to formulate a report by the day
named.
He also urged that, while the members
of the commission might be required to
serve without salaries, it would be a
great mistake to disband that body and
largely waste the fruits of their inveS-
legations and research. He expressed the
emphatic belief that the work of the
commission would he invaluable in shap-
ing wise and needed currency legislation.
Before he had finished. MIR. Rurtons
opposition to the Cummins proposal had
and il is apparent that he will tight the
oll to the end. When adjournment was
taken Mr.. Burton announced that he had
only concluded about one-third of the
remarks he will submit
In view of his decided opposition. it
seems doubtful if a vote will be reIched
on the Cummins bill at this extra ses-
sion. Senator Cummins in his attack
charged eNtravagant expenditures for
salaries and travel by the commission
and that clerks and members had re-
ceiVod payment from the Treasury while
they were already or the government
pay roll in other CaHaCiri,.s. This, ha
said. WAS illegal. Two members Of Con-
EresS. he asserted. received an additional
$l3,IG2 each tor services on the commits
sion.
Mr. Cummins made several sarcastic
references TO the commissions European

NO RATIFICATION
AT EXTRA SESSION
Bacon Does Not Expect Sen
ate to Act on Treaties.

Senator Bacon, of Georgia, who is one
of the chief objectors to the arbitration
treaties with Great Britain and France
recently negotiated, expressed doubt yes
terday, on leaving the city to attend the
funeral of Senator Frye. as to whether
the treaties would be ratified at the eX-
ira session of Congress.
Claiming that the terms of the treaty
take away from the Senate the power
conferred upon it in the Constitution
and propose to deny it the right 20 pass
upon each international question as IT
arises, and say whether or not such
question shall be submitted to arbitra-
ton, he opposes the treaties. Since the
most important thing in any dispute is
the decision as to whether or not il
should be arbitrated, Senator Bacon says
the Senate should retain this power IN
its own hands He pointed out that no
man could tell what difficulties would
arise within the next decade or the next
century involving the relations of the
United States and foreign countries.
1t might be dispute involving the
Monroe doctrine. he said. 1T might
be disnute involving repudiated bonds
of some of the States of the Union. In
all of these cases the Senate should have
the power to say whether we would ar
bitrate. Why take this power from the
hands of the Senate? Is the Senate to be
diStrusted when questions come up af-
fccting vital interests and national
honor Are We to deliver into the hands
of a high commission a decision which
the Constitution says shall only be rem
dered by a two-thirdS majority of the
Senate in raUfyng a treaty? l am op-
posed to the Senate surrendering its
right to say what questions are juStici-
able, though l am not opposed to the
principle of arbitration and believe that
course should be followed in the over
whvlming majority of disputes.
The Senate Committee on Foreign Re
lations will meet again on Saturday
to resume consideration of the
treaties Chairman CulIOm declines to
make any prediction as to the outcome.

The decision is considered by organized

On the other hand. officers of the navy
