LA F0LLETTE'S LATEST.

Senator La Toilette. whose lightest
thoughts always appear in the form of
laws and whose conclusions invariably
read like the Revised Statutes. has a bill
making il 4 penal offenSe to attempt to
influence the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, except in accordance with its
rules. AS the Interstate Commerce
Commission is a quasi-judicial body. a
law of this kind might easily become a
terror to litigants. II would be like pro-
viding a penalty for defendant in a
criminal court who sought irreEularly,
perhaps, but honestly to have his case
heard on its merits. II the Interstate
Commerce Commission is not able TO en-
force its rules and to protect its own
dignity. docs the Senator from Wisconsin

Fight for Bremner's Seat.

President Wilson's letter to James ].
O'Byrne, Democratic candidate for the
seat in the House, made vacant by the
death of Robert Z. Bremner, OF the
Seventh New Jersey district, may mean.
as Senator Hughes suggests, that the
President regards the election there next
Tuesday as test of his canal tolls
policy. If that be his view Mr.. Wilson
cannot be accused of selecting a soft
spot in which to seek a verdict. 1t is
perfectly clear, however, that if it be
made known to the voters that he will
regard the result as a ratification or
otherwise of his courageous course in
upholding the national honor at the risk
of a serious party split in Congress,
O'Byrne's chances will be materially
strengthened because the people are on
the side of the President. and this
should be especially true of his own

Choice Of Federal Reserve Cities.

Viewed as whole, the work of Sec
retaries McAdoo and Houston and
Comptroller John Skelton Williams,
composing the reserve bank organization
committee, in determining the Federal
reserve districts and the location of the
Federal reserve banks, under the new
currency law, has been skillfully done.
There will be disappointments, of
course, over the list as published this
morning, and naturally so, civic pride
prompting many cities with no other
claims to bid for the honor and COM
mercial advantage a Federal reserve
bank would bring. Unprecedented and
disinterested persons, qualified to pass
judgment, however, must commend the
selections with at most one or two ex-
ceptions.
The work of the committee was thor
ough and conscientious. Public. hear
ings were given in eighteen of the lead
ing cities, while the views of more than
two hundred others were presented
through their commercial and financial
organization. Each of the 7,475 national
banks throughout the country which had
formally assented to the provisions of
the Federal reserve act, was asked to
state its preference as to the location
of the. Federal reserve bank with which
it desired to be connected. Every Cir
cumstance seems TO have been given
consideration by the committee, espe-
cially the strength of the member banks
in each district. geographical situation,
population, and commercial activities.
AS was generally expected, the full limit
of twelve reserve districts were desig-
mated and now that the work is done it
is difficult to see how any system could
have been devised with 4 less number
promising anything like satisfactory re-
suits.
Washington fnanciers will hardly feel
disposed to grumble because this city
was left out. II is already endowed with
its full share of financial importance and
responsibility. We may. however, with
out apologies to Richmond, Va, extend
our sympathy to Baltimore. Far ahead
OF the Virginia capital in commerce,
population, the extent of its banking
business, and as transportation center,
Baltimore may be pardoned if it feels
it has been Disseminated against. How
ever, there was not melon enough to 60
around, and at any rate Richmond has
been put on the financial map with a
splash.

The Lincoln Highway.

Imagine great highway, stretching
across the mighty continent three thou
sand miles from San Francisco to New
York, dedicated to the memory of an
American who will live in world his
tory for centuries to come and named
the Lincoln Memorial Highway. Then
try to imagine such highway with its
route so devised that it will not embrace
Washington, the National Capital. Sure
ly no one can, least of all those who
have the details OF the great project in
charge. Yet the Commissioners of the
District of Columbia deemed it neces-
sary to appoint committee OF twenty
five citizens to adopt measures to pre-
vent Just such great mistake as the
leaving out OF Washington from the
route OF this highway would be.
1t was here that Lincoln lived four
years of tragedy, guiding the nation
through the most fearful period of its
whole history. till tragedy's toll claimed

coin highway that would not incircle
Washington has been given serious
thought
No doubt the plans will be changed,
for the committee of citizens is already
at work to accomplish such change. A
conference is being arranged with the
members of the Lincoln Highway Asso-
citation, which has its headquarters at
Detroit. Such a conference should by
all means be held in Washington. If
that can be brought about there will be
no difficulty in convincing the members
of the committee that the Capital ought
to be the most important part of the en-
tire highway. 1t is pointed out that no
additional expense will be incurred by
including Washington; but that would
seem to be a matter of smallest consid-
Grafton.
All Washington should be ready to
aid the committee of citizens if it should
be necessary.

Question.
That the administration realizes there
is TO be a real fight for the seat is made
plain by the fact that Secretary of State
Bryan and Dudley Field Malone are
both to make speeches for O'Byrne. Un-
der such circumstances a Democratic
victory would hardly be surprising,
while on the other hand nothing short
of a very heavy Republican majority
should be regarded as a rebuke to the

The announcement is made in start
ling headlines that the President will
sign the Crosser bill providing for mu-

the National Capital. In view OF the
fact that the Crosser bill has not yet
passed either House of Congress, it is
a little early to get excited. Before the
bill reaches the President we shall prob
ably have more information from the
District Commissioners as to what they
will do with the railroads when they
get them.

A Washington lawyer raises an inter

President Wilson's action in disapprov-
ing the plaza condemnation awards.
There seems to be reason for the con-
tention that. the Supreme Court of the
District having approved the jury's
awards, Congress having passed bill
appropriating the necessary funds to
pay them and the President having
signed that bill. the proceedings were
complete with the exception of the dis

Admission, February H.-fSpeeial)-The
fight now under way over Senator owen S
stock exchange bill in the federal Con-
gress recalls the famous "bucket shop
war; in Admission during the administra-
tion of former Mayor Thomas e. kilby,
now state senator. and candidate for
lieutenant governor, a fight which not
only resulted in series of the stormiest
council meetings In the history of Annis-
ton, but established a precedent which
was followed elsewhere, the Admission
war on 'bucl<et shops" being the first
in the south.
As soon as Mayor Kilby entered office
ii was represented to him that the bucket
shops as they then existed We're exer-
cising a bad influence and he began the
fight to have them abolished. In this he
was bitterly opposed and was for some
time in the minority; but through the
exercise of tact, bulldog determination
and parliamentary usage he finally won
the fight. The city of Birmingham soon
thereafter followed the Admission prece-
dent.
The final coup in Mayor Kilby's fight
came through his famous veto message,
in which he turned down a part of an

IN ANNISTON IS RECALLED

ordinance that had been introduced by
brilliant lawyer member of the council
with the evident purpose of defeating the
whole intent of the advocates of the
measure.
The message Mayor Kilby forwarded to
the council was aimed at Joker" that
had been injected into the ordinance. He
merely pointed out the objectionable part
of the ordinance with the EXPRESSION, Il
do not approve the following sections, for
the reason that they are in conflict with
the city charter" Then he pointed TO
the sections which he knew to be legal
and stated: II approve the following
sections" The measure was put to
vote and thus, without the exercise of
polysyllabic legal verbiage, Anniston
business mayor won a fight which, his
friends believe, formed a large part of
that crystallized public sentiment which
is expressed in the national legislation
now pending.
1t was during this fight that Senator
Kilby put up to the voters referendum
expression, Am | right or am | wrong? =
They told him he was right, and that
uuery has been the slogan in all of his
subsequent campaigns. When told that
he was right, he went ahead, and he
states today that that experience taught
him to always listen to the voice of the
people for confirmation of personal
opinion.
