RAILROADS AM THE Walls.

T ONATHAN BOURNE JR.. chairman of the Joint Con-
gressiona Committee Railway Mail Pay has
scored the Democratic management Of the Post ONCE
Department for IT'S attitude toward the railroads and
their compensation for carrying the mails He said:
ln its persistent efforts to secure dictatoria power
the Post Office Department has broken all records The
department bill, H. r. 17O42. provides that not ex-
ceedng certain rates shall be paid to railroads
ror transportation of the mail The same bill also
contains clause compelling the railroads to carry
mail
"It is claimed that not exceeding is but contnu-
ance of existing law but heretofore the railroads
have not been compelled by law TO carry mail They
are supposed to have accepted the rates voluntary
act which in itself assumed to be sufficient guar
anee that rates will not be too low and it only
necessary for Congress to fix maximum rates But
this assumption not sound as a railroad would

tion resultant from such action in the community in
which the road operates.
'rhe Interstate Commerce Commission is now au-
thorzed 10 fix maximum freight rates, It being left to
the railroads to fix the minimum II would be consid-
cred preposterous that the commission should fix the
maximum rates at which railroads must carry freight
and leave the shippers to hx the minimum. Yet this
is the very thing that the Post Oce Department pro-
poses for mail pay in the department bill Congress
is fix the minimum rates and the railroads are to

without parallel the history rate regulation Il
is Bureaucracy run mad
II is not surprising that such complaint is made. The
railroads carrying the mails in return for com
pensaon that Is inadequate that In many particu-
lars It constitutes a reproach to the Federal Gov
ernmcnt The injustice to the railroads has been in
creased by the burden OF the parcel post, and top

mittee to be made public seeks TO fasten this in
justice upon them in such "a that they must submit

The announcement that the Presi-
dent is about to counsel with lead
ing business men of the country is
one that will evoke hearty congratu-
lations to the President upon his wise
and prudent course.
II will go far in restoring conf
dence to the financial, commercial
and industrial interests.
1t will aid in demonstrating the
correctness in full measure Of the
Presidents assertion that psychology
plays an important part in the busi-
ness affairs of this nation
By this change in his course so as
to secure the views Of practical bust
ness men, the President will at once
produce a change in the psychological
influence which heretofore has been
potent in its depressing force.
BY this new method of obtaining in
formation from men who not only will
furnish him actual facts, but who
through practical experience can fre-
Quently demonstrate the fallacy of at
tractive theories, the President will
be able to advise Congress with
greater accuracy and command the
support of the country in larger
measure through his own sounder and
better tested policies than some of
those he has advanced in the past
The President Of the United States
is not only entitled to the confidence
Of the citizens Of the entire Union,
but to receive from the business men
he consults the most accurate infor-
nation as to affairs they are familiar
with: and not only truth, but candor,

The Jones Philippine Bill
Both W-Timed and Useless
lFrom The New York Tribunc.l

Representatives Jones Of Virginia, the
Liberator OF the Philippines, has at last
got the signal from the White House 70
90 ahead The long delayed measure OF
emancipation over which he has been
ruminating will be introduced this week.
Then the suspense of a year will be over
and the country will know exactly how
far this administration is ready to go
in disturbing the helpful relations be
tween the United States and its Far
Eastern dependency established under
the provisions of the Treaty Of Paris
The Democratic national platform OF
1912 pledged the Democratic party 10
IAN immediate declaration of the ma
tion's purpose to recognize the indepen-
dence of the Philippine Islands as soon
as stable government can be estab-
lished" The Jones bill will hardly live
mp TO that promise for obvious reasons.
Mr.. Jones is perfectly willing to cast
the Philippines OIL next week. But
President Wilson recognizes the mad
visibility of naming any definite date
for our withdrawal with apologies from
a possession which we acquired legiti-
matcly and in which we have pursued
n policy based not on selllshness but on
q real regard for the welfare of a people
brought by the fortunes Of war under
our control.
According to forecasts Of Mr.. Jones'
bill, il will merely go a short half way
toward setting up Filipino independence.
10 will abolish the Philippine Commits
sion. now acting as an upper branch OF
the msular Legislature. and substitute
for 1t an elective Senate. Governor
General, appointed by the President, will
be lett with a native w-malSing body
ON his hands. The experiment win be
tried of broadening the suffrage and
loosening the restraints under which the
Filipinos have been taking their first
lessons in the art OF self government
Probably the Jones bill would have
been much more radical if the expert
enccs Of the Harrison administration
with enlarged native control had not
proved unfortunate. About the only re.
suits of the displacement of Americans
by natives in the insular service have
been deterioration in the administra.

tion from
The business affairs of the great
commercial, financial and industrial
interests OF this country should be
made as an open book now to the
President by the men he honors in
his consultations.
He is acting for no special interests
in his position as chief magistrate;
he is not only striving to better bust
ness conditions for the present gen

bring prosperity and happiness to
those that follow.
The legislation that will undoubt-
ediy follow these proposed consulta-
tons with leading business men Of
the country will certainly be far bet
ter adapted TO the country's needs,
far more efficient in its elimination
Of evils and in its guarding against
abuses. than any form or character
of legislation on business affairs now
pending in the Congress.
The President has the country with
him in this method Of acquiring
knowledge of actual conditions in
business affairs.
Legislation can we'll await the re-
suit of the consultation. for greater
good will come from legislation
founded upon the new compendium
the President will unquestionably
compile and the dangers to business
from hasty legislation now will be
avoided.
The mutual confidence that will fol-
low between the President and the
country's business interests will be
Of inestimabe value to the republic
and its people.

tive and legislative departments and,
according 10 local testimony, an in
crease in the number OF official defalca-
tons. The Assembly became demoral-
lied soon after the new program of ma
tivism was put into effect, and log roll
ing and recklessness in appropriations
gave the governor general many hours
of annoyance. Washington dispatches
report that he is not as advanced an
advocate of independence in the near
future as he used TO be and that his in
fuence has been exerted to discourage
the Jones idea if immediate separation.
No practical man who has been IN
the Philippines and studied conditions
there is likely to admit that it is safe
az this time to fix a date for independ-
ence, even if he may believe that indie
pendence Is desirable. 70 be thrust
upon their own resources before they
learn the rudiments OF government
would be a cruelty TO the Filipino peo-
pie. They would be preyed upon by
the politicians. who alone have any
thing to gain from the granting Of au-
tonOmy. Left to themselves, they
would probably soon fall into the
clutches of Japan.
ldcalists like Mr.. Jones do not shrink
from preparing such a fate for them.
But most Americans rightly feel that
having undertaken the burden of civ
ilizing and educating the Filipinos, the
United States ought TO do a thorough
and creditabe piece of work. We
should not drop the job before we finish
it. if we are moved by any real interest
in the Filipinos.
Moreover, if we are loyal TO Ameri-
can traditions. we shall not drop the
Job at all. The United States has never
retreated from any territory which il
has lawfully acquired. This Congress
would never consent TO hauling down
the flag in the Philippines. Future
Congresses. we are confident, will feel
the same way about il. In so far, there
fore, as the Jones bill is intended 10 be
preparation for independence, it is
merely meddlesome and visionary. II

Everybody has such confidence in
Colonel Roosevelt's constitution that
his ability to get a medical certifi-
cate in August is generally believed
and admired If it is his purpose, as
is reported, then to make Pregres-
siye raid in Louisiana, that invasion
will be watched with interest and
sympathy by Republicans as well as
by PrOgressives. The COlonels party
Of 1912 seems to be wasting away in
the North and West. A revival Of it
in the South would be a brilliant feat,
even for the most astute of American
politicians.
The long headed and deep ponder
ing Colonel prepared for future
Southern coups in 1912. Sure of the
devotion Of large number Of the
Northern blacks, he counted on a
white mans Progressive party in the
South, where there could be no
chance for any other and where the
voters are mainly white. no matter
what the color of the population He
howled to heaven for the reform"
of Southern representation in Repub-
lican national conventions. Benefit
ciaiy and director of the old game,
its wickedness sank into his heart so
soon as il was played against him.
The chastened Republicans are will
ing to accept an improvement which
should have been made long. ago. AS
Progressive of 1912 who would not
wave away the Republican nomina-
tion in 1916, Colonel Roosevelt is on
the safe side in being the head OF a
white mans anti-Democratic party
in the South. Now Louisiana gives
him the opportunity that some other
Southern States may some time yield.
The Underwood tariff, with its re-
duction and approaching removal OF
the duties on sugar, a great Louisiana
industry, has divided the Democracy
OF the State and caused a wide and
deep irritation with Mr.. Wilson's Ad-
ministration. The Louisiana Senators

/ distinct promise was made to them
