A Be.eon Hin Rebuff.

A Maryland matron and Boston
maid on horseback, at the head of a
regiment of suffragists and announced
by a fare of trumpets, marched on
Beacon Hill yesterday, but failed to
capture Gov. Walsh, of Massachusetts
And all they wanted him for was to sit
on the platform at suffrage mass
meeting in fremont Temple. We shall
await further particulars, with photo
graphs, before making up our minds
what sort of a man this Gov. Walsh is,
Washington, if it could manage to
spare them for day or two, might lend
Boston two or three fair suffragists who
would bring Gov. Walsh down off Bea-
con Hill to fremont Temple in a hurry,
and without the aid of paltry trumpets
or prancing horses. If the governor
doesn't believe it, let him come to
Washington and review our suffrage
parade next month.

Boy Who Killed His Teacher.

Tragedy in unusual form visited and
shocked the little town of Poland, N. Y.
recently, when Jean Gianini, sixteen
years old, lured Ida Beecher, his
school-teacher, to lonely spot and muir
dered her because he resented her ef-
forts to secure him membership in a
Junior Republic. The boys confession
of the crime horrifed the community.
A peculiarly touching circumstance
has just been revealed through a letter
which the young woman wrote TO Will
lam R. George, evincing her deep and
tender interest in the welfare of the
boy who murdered her, and her earnest
desire to help him. She wrote: "He is
good-hearted and one of my most inter
esting boys. He responds to kindness
very readily. He is not a bad bov by
any means, he is simply unhappy, but
is ambitious and has other fine qualities
that would be revealed if he only had
a little guidance to show him that he
really could amount TO something
Yes, sixteen-year-old Jean responded
to her kindness with the cruel blows
that ended her life. She was murdered
two days after receiving an answer to

A Bill to Protect the |. c. c.

Senator La Toilette aroused a great
deal of curiosity by his remarks yester-
day in introducing in the Senate a bill
for the purpose of preventing attempts
to influence the action of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, except under
the rules and regulations of the COM
mission" The Senator, it would appear,
is the custodian of something in the ma
ture of a sensation, which he is about to
let loose, for he gave notice of his in
tention to speak today on the bill, in
these significant words:
/ desire to present some remarks
upon the bill and some evidences of
hearing that is under way in this
country that believe to be the most
seribus in its prejudicial effect upon
the work of the Interstate Com
merce Commission of anything that
ever has before been witnessed.
Senator La Follette's bill is drastic in
its provisions. 1t would prohibit any
person from attempting to influence the
members of the commission by writ
ing to them, or by writing or sending
to the commission or member thereof
any letter or any written or printed
communication, circular, or paper, or BY
writing or printing or circulating or
causing to be printed and circulated
any communication, matter or thing ad-
dressed to the commission or any men,
Der thereof, or by communicating with
the commission or any member thereof"
The penalty for violation is to be fine
or imprisonment, or both.
Without discussing its constitution
ality. the bill may be pronounced as far
reaching. The Herald recalls publish
ing, not so long ago, an editorial on the
railroad situation, intended, of course,
for the consideration of all its readers.
but for the sake of emphasis, bearing
the caption, "A Word to the Interstate
Commerce Commission" Clearly such
publication would be unlawful and
might subject the publisher and editor
of The Herald to term in jail if Sem
ator La Follette's bill should become
law. Happily, however. there seems lit
tie danger of such enactment in this en-
lightened age, given though we are to
legislating copiously.
Even though the bribery laws are
presumed to protect them amply, the bill
indicates lack of confidence in the
stability of the commissioners judg-
ment, or else a desire to relieve them
or their secretaries of the burden of
opening and disposing of a mail that
might be unduly swollen while impor-
tant cases are under consideration.

sssat. Should Not Delay.

More than one weighty reason why
the Senate cannot fail to repeal canal
tolls exemption exists. Almost beyond
doubt the Upper House will give the
President the legislation he asked and
urged. Then why not do it with ali
speed? It is urgent legislation. Presi-
dent Wilson has said that delicate Dip
lomatic negotiations are involved. Quite
evidently he is handicapped by the ex-
istence of the exemption law. The
House has loyalty and generously re-
sponded to his appeal; the Senate
should hasten to make its action eff
fective.
At the beginning of the House debate
fears of hopeless party disruption were
expressed; yet four out of every FIVE
Democratic members voted for repeal,
and already there are indications that
the small rift in the ranks is closing.
But what if the Senate should refuse to
place in the Presidents hands the power
he so earnestly asked and which the
House so quickly and emphatically be-
slowed? That would indeed be spec
tacle of divided party, which Demo-
Gratis would shudder to contemplate. OF
course, it cannot come about. To pre-
vent such catastrophe Democratic Sena-
tors would owe it to the party to put
aside all personal opinions and afhlia-
tions and make repeal rigid party is
sue.
Since repeal must triumph, why de-
lay the hour? There can be little profit
in protracted debate. All that can be
said on either side of the question has
been said already. Without a doubt, if
the Sims bill could be put to vote to-
day it would have a substantial major
ity of votes. Delay or long debate will
change scarcely any, and meanwhile the
President is waiting. His closest sup.
porters in the Senate should put forth
every effort to expedite the measure.
The country at large, which is en-
Enthusiastically on the side of the Presi-
dent in his stand for the nations honor,
if the press reflects its views, will ap-
plaud prompt action by the Senate.

"A few minutes afterward Jones' little

THE RAILWAY CRISIS.

American railroads have reduced their
forces by fully 10000 men and have cut
working hours.
And this staggering total will be seri-
ously swelled unless conditions promptly
improve.
These statements are based on signed
communications the New York Ameri-
can has received from the presidents OF
our leading railroad systems.
Normally, our railways employ approx
imately 1,700,0oo men. A Is per cent re-
duction-which is under rather than over
the mark-means 255.oo0 men.
One point emphasized by all railroad
heads Is that retrenchment Is not a mat
ter Of this week or last. but has been in
force for several months.
Also, the reduction In forces, II Is
pointed out. has not been equal to the
falling of I'm net earnings.
