THE BENCHING OF SMITH.
senator Cummins and the Promotion
of the Congressman,

Sioux city journal.
1t Is announced that Senator Cummins
will not oppose the confirmation OF Judge
Smith. It is said that the senator did not
urge the president TO make the appoint
ment but now that It has been made he
will not fight 1t. This is said to be some
thing OF disappointment to Senators Ia
Toilette and Bristow, who make the point
that the president had opportunity to ex-
hibit his sympathy with the progressives
and neglected It. The bucking senators do
not seem to have taken a full view of the
case. The Iowa senator did what he could
last year TO Gust Judge Smith from his
congressional seat In his appointment to
the circuit bench the senator is getting
what he wanted. For another thing, Judge
Smith might become a formidable candi-
date for the senate Senators La Fol
lete and Bristow ought TO see that the
path of duty for Senator Cummins is in
loyalty to his state.

The Winchell Plan

President Winchen of the Frisco
system proposes periodical or more
frequent conferences between shippers
and railroad officials for redress of
grievances as to rates or conditions of
transportation. He thinks this plan
would lead to better relation between
the railroads and the public would do
away with much friction in the adjust
ment of business conditions and obvi-
ate the necessity of long-drawn and
bitter controversies and hearings be-
fore the Interstate Commerce commits
sion. II it would do all this or even
part, it would be a good plan. 1t
may anyhow be worth trial and the
first results should be sufficient to
determine it's permanent value.
Assuming at once President
Winehel1s sincere desire for what
he advocates, this proposal is a
hopeful sign. The day of closer
and better relations between the
railroads and their patrons has
been long awaited by shippers
and patrons and they will GER
tainly welcome it's advent. One needs
not to be captious about the matter,
though, to believe that the railroads
could hasten that day whenever they
chose to, Whenever the real heads
of these great corporations decide
that their highest purpose is public
utility, they will do much to work
out this problem, to which so much
unreal mystery is attached.
