Mr.. ROOSEVELT STEMS TO FORGET

"f' Sf CWS ~
Colonel Roosevelt's course in denouncing
the railway rate bill Of this administration
as "a reactionary measure" converted into
q good bill only by the determination OF
the insurgent Senators, indicates that the
ex-President Is forgetting some things.
The one important feature of the admins
tration bill, on which the insurgents made
a determined and successful fight, vas the
provision authorizing the railroads to
make joint rates and agreements under
supervision of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. II was on that provision That
the insurgent Senators based their wholly
fanciful contention that the measure was
reactionary and on the defeat Of that
provision that they based their claims to
victory. While Mr.. Roosevelt is somewhat
chary OF going into details, he Is now
merely re-echoing the insurgent charges.
He could, however, recall the fact that he
himself was the first President to advocate
such joint rates and agreements. In his
message OF December 8, 1906, he said: THE
power vested in the government to put
stop to agreements to the detriment Of the
public should. in my judgment, be accom-
panied by power to permit, under specified
conditions and careful supervision, agree
ments clearly in the interest of the pub
lie" In making the recommendation to
Congress President Taft was therefore
merely carrying out Roosevelt policy.
On December 3, 1907, Mr.. Roosevelt again
urged this provision on Congress. saying:
LAS l stated in my message TO the Con-
gress year ago. railroads should be given
power to enter into agreements, subject to
these agreements being made public in
minute detail and to the consent Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission being
first obtained" Again, on January ST. 1908,
in a special message. Mr.. Roosevelt said:
I'm this connection ! desire to repeat my
recommendation that railways be per-
mitted to form traffic associations for the
purpose OF comforting about and agreeing
upon rates, regulations and practices af-
fecting interstate business In which the
members Of the association are mutually
interested" And finally on December 5,
1905 in his last annual message, MIR. Roose-
welt said: Power TO make combinations
and traffic agreements should be explicitly
conferred upon the railroads, the permis-
sion Of the commission being first gained
and the combination or agreement being
published in all it's details" The citation
OF these quotations should prove TO the ex-
President how sincerely and earnestly
President Taft was trying to carry out the
policies Of his predecessor when he made
the same recommendation TO Congress, and
how Mr.. Roosevelt himself has been de-
ceived by those who, when the Taft rail-
way rate bill was under consideration, so
violently attacked and so consciencelessy
misrepresented one OF Mr.. Roosevelts own
important and oft-reiterated recommends
tons.

A cUMsHoE CAMPAIGN.

nemocratic Presidential candidates should
have a care for the diligent gumshoe METH
DDS employed by one Representative oscar
w. Underwood to annex the nomination
Proceeding in that calm, dignifled ana suaVe
manner which has made him skilful en-
gineer OF the Democratic machine, MI IN
derwood and his friends are now conduct
ing a campaign Of which the political man
ayers hear little but OF which the public
especially the voting public-hears much.
IL Mr.. Underwood secures the Democratic
nomination it will be up the stepping stones
Of the boiler plate" supplement. The IN
derwood managers have no corps OF dill
gent press agents: they do not work the
mimeograph machines by day and night;
neither do they berste the claims OF op-
posing candidates. The Offices of Washing
ton correspondents are not flooded with
eulogies of the Alabama candidate. The
Underwood Bankhead plan is different. Mr.
Underwood is playing for the vote In the
small outlying districts. and his political
managers are wisely contenting themselves
with the use OF so-called boiler plate. A
number OF weekly papers may be seen
about the Underwood headquarters. Open
ing The Squedee Sentinel" the careful
observer finds that the first four pages
Of that rural publication are devoted TO a
recounting Of the village and county hap
penings. The paper however, seems more
bulky than usual. Shaking It's folds. one dis
covers that there is a supplement labelled
Supplement to The Squedee Sentinel
Oscar w Underwood for President" Four
extra pages are devoted 10 the Alabaman.
The supplement contains a large photo
graph OF the Democratic leader, a resume
of his career from boyhod 10 the present
moment, and a careful recital OF his quail
fcations for the Presidency. The supple
ment, with the necessary change in headline,
is said TO have found its way recently into
more than two hundred weekly papers in
single state Senator Bankhead is said
TO be responsible for the gumshoe cam
paign, and he believes II will beat all the
mimeograph press notices issued from
Washington headquarters TO the metropoIl-
tan dailies. Evidently Mr. Underwood
thinks likewise. for he is making no great
flourish OF trumpets IN the cities. but ls
proceeding very cautiously along the sup
plement route in the rural communities.
