PRouTY ON BRANDEls
ImpractcabIe to Apply His System
to Present Day Rallroadlng

Washington, March $50 much
discussion has appeared in the news
papers as to the connection between
Mr. Brandeis' recommendation to
the interstate commerce commission
and that body's recent decision in the
railroad rate case that the exact
words of Judge Prouty. as they APP
pear in the full text of his opinion,
may be worth quoting. He does not
accept the view that large econom-
les are practicable in railroad opera
tons. What he said is this:
1T was. however, earnestly insist
ed by the shippers that the railroad
might and should find other kinds OF
economies with which to make good
this increase in wages. Several pro
minent manufacturers testified that
in their business in recent years wag-
es had been advanced. but that they
had not been able to make correspon-
ding advances in the price OF their
product, and were. therefore, forced
to look about for other ways in which
to take up the increase in the cost of
production. II was claimed that by
the introduction Of what was termed
scientific management the purpose
of which was in various ways to
make labor more efficient, at the
same time increasing the wage paid
the laborer himself. much more than
the amount OF these advances could
be saved.
"One gentleman who described
these methods testified that they had
been introduced to some extent into
the operations of railways with re-
markable results, and that from a
careful analysis and computation he
was satisfied that not less than $780,
100000 annually could be saved by
the proper application OF these meth
DDS to the business OF railroading In
the United States.
1T is difficult to see exactly what
application the commission can make
In this case OF this testimony. The
witness who apparently had most to
i do with originating and applying
these methods testified that they
were in actual operation in not over
one-tenth Of per cent, OF all the
| Manufacturing establishments or this
country. The system is everywhere
In an experimental stage. To some
extent 1t has been tried and is now
being tried by our railways. The re
representatives. OF railway labor who
appeared before us stated that these
methods could not and should not b,
introduced into railway work. Upor
this record We can hardly find tina
these methods could be introduced
into railroad operations to any con
siderable extent, much less can WI
determine the definite amount of saw
ing which could be made. We can
not therefore. find that these defen
dants could make good any part o
these actual advances In wages by tn
Introduction OF scientific manage
ment."

FRANK E. HOWE, Editor and pub'r.

The United States Senate yester-
day went on record against the cleo.
ton of senators by vote of the people.
A majority Of the Senate were for
the proposition but 1t required two
thirds vote to carry it and it did not
have enough. Once more have the
reactionaries triumphed and the peo-
pie stopped from taking control Of
their own affairs. OF the SO votes
against the resolution, "a were Re
publicans and nine were Democrats.
Among the Republicans against the
plan were Senators Dillingham; and
Page of Vermont. Now If our sena-
tors will finish out the week by vot-
ing for Lorimer and against reciproc-
ity they will make a record of proud
achievement.

The case of Mrs. Herrick VS.. the
town of Holland, settled a few weeks
ago by the payment of $4,000 to Mrs.
Herrick by the town. demonstrates
very forcibly the fact that dangerous
culverts are very costly for town.
Thirty-two hundred dollars will fix
a good many dangerous places in a
road. The population of Holland is
a little over 700 and the cost of set
Element of this case, saying nothing
about the cost of fighting the case In

each for every man, woman and
child in the town of Holland. Add
ing the costs and every inhabitant
was taxed about ST. The case not
only demonstrates that bad culverts
are expensive but that litigation is
very dear.-Barton Monitor.
1t also further demonstrates the
importance of choosing competent
road commissioners. Carelessness in
their department may result in catch
ing any town as poor little Holland
was caught Town election comes
next week and in most of the towns
of this section the fight over road
commissioners is one of the chief
contests. Why not throw away par
tisan and even personal feeling and
put the men in charge best competent
to do the work? Why not also apply
the same simple business rule to
other town officers? II is a business
proposition, pure and simple. Why
should a voter ever vote for a man
whom he would never select to look
after his own private business?

ATTACK WITNESS
IN BRIBE QUIZ
CONGRESSMAN WHO ACCUSED
NEW YORK LEGISLATOR OF
BRIBERY AssAILED.

New York, Feb. 1S.-Counsel fol
frank ]. Gardner, the former state
senator, whose trial on bribery
charge speedily resolved itself yester'
day into a spirited attack on the rec
ord of Congressman Otto G. Foelker,
the chief witness for the prosecution
were ready to resume the grilling OF
FOelker on cross-examination when
court opened today.
Gardner is accused of offering Foel-
ker bribe Of $4,000 to vote against
the anti-race track betting bills when
those measures were pending in 1908
at Albany, where Foelker was then
serving as member of the state SEN
ate. Foelker testified yesterday that
Gardner had offered the bride, which
was refused.
Cross examining the congressman,
Gardeners counsel, M. D. Steur, went
infinitely into Foelker's record and
drew from the witness that while he
was preparing for and taking his
regents examination to applying for
admission to the bar, he lived with
Max Sosinsky, man who has since
been convicted and imprisoned for
impersonating others in taking regents
examinations. Many questions were
directed at the congressman in an at
tempt to lay the ground work. at least,
for proof that Foelker had never taken
his regents examination, but had had
Sosinsky take them for him.

a paper was circulated for the purpose
of forming in Corydon Mems Auxil-
larry League to Woman Suffrage. To
this paper seventy men signed their
names, paid their membership fee and
enrolled themselves as assistants to
the women in their efforts in favor of
equal suffrage On Tuesday evening the
Suffrage club of Corydon gave a ban
quet to the men who signed this paper.
The banquet was held at the Christian
church and served by the ladies of that
church. 1t was finely served and very
large number of the seventy persons
who signed this paper were present.
After the banquet, H. B. Bracewell,
who was chosen POSTMASTER, made q
little reminiscent speech, giving some
history of the Woman's Suffrage club
of Corydon. He then called upon ]. !.
c. Bowers and H. H. Carter to respond
to toasts, both of whom responded in
five minute speeches, enthusiastically
endorsing the cause of woman suf-
frage,
An auxiliary club composed entirely
of men, for the purpose of assisting
in the equal suffrage, was formed, and
a constitution adopted and officers
elected. The officers for the ensuing
year are as follows:
