The Senate decided the issues Of
railroad possession and control
yesterday on tests which leave no
doubt of the final result in this Con-
gress. The great trunk line systems
and their allied interests are in full
control, regardless Of party lines.
Nothing will be done in either house
Of Congress which will seriously an

volved, he favored II, and favored
forcing a decision on il as soon as
the public mind was free from its
present abnormal control by the in
fluences Of greed and "blood-lust."
The vote Of 81 against the Cum
minis amendment to only % for it
showed that nothing any one could
say would change the foregone con-
clusion. Senator johnson Of South
Dakota forced the final test on his
amendment which would have al
lowed the Government to remain In
possession and control indefinitely
after the close of the war.
Before the vote, 81 TO 10, which
defeated it, Cummins offered an
amendment to it which obviated his
difficulties in supporting it on prac-
teal grounds and announced him
self profoundly convinced that the
Government ought to own all the
railroads of the country"
Senator Johnson had supported
his own profound conviction to that
effect with as much force as can
be put into the English language
by one who is not afraid to use it
for what it is worth. He opened
with the statement that the rail-
roads themselves were willing par
ties to the plan of possession, con-
troll, compensation and guaranteed
solvency on which the Senate was to
pass.

the same ability was shown during
the debate in the House where, with
Mr.. Dewalt opening for the Admin

the minority of the House Commit
tee on Interstate Commerce, fully

Perhaps there has been no greater
ability developed in parliamentary

viii IN Lne passage OF the railroad
bill.
This was forced as a conclusion,
too manifest for doubt, by Senator
Cummins Of Iowa. 1t does him no
injustice as an astute politician, who
probably knows more, practically and
theoretically, of railroads than any
other man in public life, to say that
his amendment was drawn with the
highest political skill as test Of the
power Of plutocracy in this Congress.
As he summed it yesterday, after
having exclusively treated the
whole subject in opening the debate,
1t applied to eighty-six of the great
systems, paying customary dividends
of more than 5 per cent. The one
possible objection to it on grounds of
justice and fair play should be stated
first. If there are great railroads
which have never watered their CAPT.
tai, which have capitalized only their
cash investments, it might put them
at q disadvantage because of their
unsupported honesty. This much
conceded, the amendment, as Cum
minis summed it, challenged support
so strongly that there was no actual
standing room left in public. policy
for opposing it. 1t offered to all the
roads involved a guarantee of ali
expenses while under Federal con-
troll and, over and above this, a guar
antee Of complete sterilization" on
the basis Of their customary divi-
dends.
Having done so much, 1t still cut
down the proposed rate Of compen-
sation on the average three years Of
war profits, by a total Of over s173.-
100000. He showed that this reduc-
ton would have applied to roads In
the East earning an average Of HAS
per cent on capital: in the South,
1916, and in the West. 9.96. the re-
duction in compensation annually
represented on these PERCENTAGES
being $65 ,2O5, 900 for the East, S35, $50
600 for the South, and 81, eos, 900 for
the West. II American politics ever
again involve an appeal to reason
with the public as Judge, votes
against the Cummins amendment
will be hard to explain.
One of the most uncompromising
speeches of the day in support OF the
Cummins amendment was made by
Senator Vardaman of Mississippi,
who in his opening announced that

The World Alone.

Here's the first weeks rent then,"
said Rose, handing the landlady three
dollars, "and think you'd better give
me receipt showing till when it's
paid for"
The landlady had tight gray hair
and hard-bitten hatchet face. She
had no charms, one would have said,
Of person, mind or manner. But it
was nevertheless true that Rose was
renting this room largely .sn the
strength of the landlady. She was so
much more humanity possible than any
Of the others at whose placarded doors
Rose had knocked or rung 80!
The landlady went away to write out
a receipt. Rose closed the door after
her and locked 1t.

unendurable with the enforced con-
temptation Of the moment of parting
which they brought so relentlessly
nearer. There had been a terror, too,
lest when the moment actually came,
she couldn't do it. Well, and now it
had come and gone! The surgery Of
the thing was over.

self, when she discovered she was 60
ing to have to use that towel for q
week-and took an appraising look at
herself. Then she nodded confidently
there was nothing the matter with her
looks-and resumed her ulster, her
rubbers, and her umbrella, for it was
the kind of December day which called
for all three. Then, glowingly con-
scious that she was saving a nickel by
so doing, she set off downtown afoot
to get a job. She meant to get it
that very afternoon. And, partly be-
cause she meant to so very definitely,
she did.
On the last Sunday before Rose went
away she had studied the dramatic
section of the morning paper with
a good deal of care, and was rewarded
by finding among the news notes
an item referring to a new musical
comedy which was to be produced
at the Globe theater Immediately
after the Christmas holidays. "The
Girl Up Stairs" was the title Of it. It

Was SPOKEN Of as one or the regular
Globe productions, SO it was probable
Jimmy Wallace's experience with the
production Of an earlier number in the
series would at least give her some
thing to go by.
Granted that she was going to be
chorus girl for while, she could hard
ly find better place than one of the
Globe productions to be a chorus girl
in. According to Jimmy, it was a de-
cent enough little place, and yet it
possessed the advantage of being,
spiritually, as well as actually, west of
Clark street. Rodney's friends were
less likely to go there, and so have
chance of recognizing her, than to any
other theater in the city.
The news item in the paper told her
that the production was in rehearsal,
and it mentioned the name of the direc-
tor, John Galbraith, referring to him
as one Of the three most prominent
musical-comedy directors in the coun-
try.
When she asked at the box office at
the Globe theater where they were re-
hearsing "The Girl Upstairs" today,
the nicely manicured young man in
side answered automatically, "North
End hail."
"I'm afraid" said Rose, smiling a
little, "Pll have to ask where North

"Not at ALL" said the young man
idiotically, and he told her the ad-
dress-only block or two from Roses

"Oh, it's Hilda; believe me, I'm not

the aggrieved one.
"Why, I thought Hilda was one Of
your best friends. What has she done

Dorothy not only liked her tea and
coffee to have the appearance of being
"real and truly" but she also liked to
taste the flavor Of each. One after
noon her mother took her to friends
home, where tea was served at five
o'clock. The hostess gave Dorothy
what she usually gave her own chill
dren-hot water, sugar and milk. Dor
othy tasted hers politely and ate her
little cakes.
"Why, Dorothy, you aren't drinking
your tea! Isn't it sweet enOughw

'Yes, it's sweet enoagh," replied the
child.
"Then why aren't you taking it?"
"It's too dull" she replied.

For the first time since they were
born, she was thinking of their need
of her rather than of her need of them,
and with that thought came, for the
first time, the surge of passionate ma
ternal love that she had waited for
so long in vain. There was, suddenly,
an intolerable ache in her breast that
could only have been satisfied by crush
ing them up against her breast; kiss
ing their hands-their feet.
Rose stood there Quivering, giddy
with the force of it. ooh, you dar-
lings!" she said. "But wait-wait un-
til deserve It'll" And, without touch
ing them at all, she went to the door
and opened it. Mrs. Ruston and Doris
were both waiting in the hail.
II must go now," she said, "Good-by.
Keep them carefully for me-" Her
voice was steady, and, though her eyes
were bright, there was no trace of
tears upon her cheeks. But there was
kind Of glory shining in her face
that was too much for Doris, who
turned away and sobbed loudly. Even
Mrs. Ruston's eyes were wet.
"Good-by," said Rose again, and
went down composedly enough to her
car -~-~
She rode down to the station, shook
hands with Otto, the chauffeur, al
lowed a poi ter to carry her bag into
the waiting room. There she tipped
the porter, picked up the bag herself,
and walked out the other door; crossed
over to Clark street and took a street
Car. At Chicago avenue she got off,
and walked north, keeping her eyes
open for placards advertising rooms
to let. It was at the end of about half
mile that she found the hatchet-
faced landla6y, paid her three dollars,
and locked her door, as symbol, per-
haps, Of the bigger, heavier door that
she had locked upon her past life.
