NOMINATION OF COLBY
 CHAGRINS DEMOCRATS


 Washington, February 25s-tSpecial1 Ii was rather a wicked prank played by President Wilson on the democracy of the country today when he nomi- mated Bainbridge Colby of New York to be Secretary of State. At any rate. that is apparently the opinion of Sem ate democrats.
 There is no denial of the fact that democratic senators are chagrined There are two reasons. The first is that Colby is not a democrat, as demo- crats are generally reckoned. In the second place, MT. Colby will be con- firmed only after stiff fight with considerable attendant embarrassment
 As matter of fact, Senator King, democrat, declared belief that If any democrat led fight against Colby he would fail of confirmation. The state ment was not made for publication, nor is it necessarily to be considered as in- dication of the senator's personal dis inclination to support the nominee. It was more a statement of an obvious fact. which everyone feels to be oh- vious.
 MT. Colby was born a republican. He left the republican fold in 1912 with Theodore Roosevelt. In Chicago, in 1916, he nominated Roosevelt to be President of the United States When Roosevelt, declining that nomination. threw himself into the Charles k. Hughes campaign, Colby embraced the democratic nominee, Woodrow Wilson, but not necessarily the democratic party.
 In 1917 Colby was nominated to be a member of the sshipping board. The committee which considered the nomi- nation reported it favorably by one vote. Senator Reed of Missouri, demo- f4-a ho count. Senator Johnson of California; progressive republican, finally sup ported Colby and he was reported. The fight on the floor for continuation was bitter and the result close. Confrma- ton was achieved when Johnson of California and Kenyon of Iowa, pro- gressive republican, joined hands with the democrats. It is understood that New York senators. Wadsworth and Calder, representing the state in which Colby lived opposed his confirmation.
 In the present emergency, the New York senators do not indicate what their course will be. Democratic sena- tors, sepaking for publication, confine themselves to expressions compliment tary of Colbys ability. A few varying to the extent. of declaring that as the cabinet was the presidents own, he had perfect right to name any member lueFeoI ne ueSlred to name. with re- versed English, they made the same remark regarding the recent dismissal of Secretary Lansing.
 Until Colbys name was flashed, 1t was generally agreed that Under Seere- tary Frank L. Polk would te appointed Despite the arduous and highly satis- factory endeavors of MT. Polk it is understood that the President hesitated to name him for fear lest he had ac- quired some of the original and inde- pendent views regarding proper diplo- matic procedure which had character ized the service of Mir Lansing.
 It is reported that MT. Polk will re- tire.

OLIVER NOTIFIES
 PRESIDENT OF ERROR

Washington. February 25.-(Special) Through an inadvertence in the prep aration of the conference report on the railroad bill which has passed Con- gress and is now pending before the President. no provision was made for the financial operation of inland water way systems after Mar ch l.
 The ascertainment of this error was made known to the President today by letter addressed by Representative Oii- yer. It is regarded as certain that the President will return the bill with the suggestion that the error. which represents a miscarriage of the inten- ton of Congress, be rectified. Tn that event. the correction would be made without objection,
 Tomorrow Senator Underwood and Representative Oliver will interview Walker D Hines, director general Of railroads, and will urge him not only to provide steel containers for Warrior river barges. but to set aside from available railroad funds sufficient sum of money for thsJcontinued opera ton of the barge line
 In the event none of the probable sources of relief acts satisfactorily, hasty amendment to the sundry appro- priation bill will be secured. At any rate, despite the palpahle error in the railroad bill, it is not doubted that all Will be well with the barge line
 Mir. Oliver this afternoon interviewed Secretary Baker regarding the impor- tance of making the necessary correc- ton. and the Secretary admitted lack of knowledge that inland waterway systems had been pup under the su- pervision of his department. However. he agreed that the business of Mir. Oii- yer was most urgent. and promised to act.
 C. F. Wood. engineer of the War rior river committee, who on first ex- animation of the railroad bill declared that I've have been given everything for which we asked" on learning of the discrepancy from Mir. Oliver, i'm mediately moved to preserve the prof ect. As "a result of his activity, menl- bers of Congress were flooded today with telegrans from chambers of com merce of all Alabama cities touched or approached by the Warrior river.

when all members are up for reelection. The democratic opposition was especial- ly pronounced on the part of southern democrats. Certain relegations. like that from Alabama, voted soldly against the bill, not because all members of that dele gation We're opposed to the bill, but be- cause they knew that it would be passed irrespective of the manner in which they voted. and because they thought it wise to stand together on the theory that mis- cry loves company. Not all the southern CTS were so swayed, however Clark and Drane of Florida Crisp, Jverstreet, Park
 Epshaw and Wright of Georgia, Dupre of Louisiana. Eagle and Rayburn of Texas,
 Pou, Goodwin and Small of North Caro- lima, Flood, Harrison, Montague. sauu- ders and Wood of Virginia, Humphreys and Venable Of Mississippi. Padge@ of Tennessee and others supported the bill.
 The republicans think they played good politics and the democrats think they dis played equal political perspicuity. The republicans contend that but for their statesmanship government ownership would necessarily have been extended. and probably retained for a number Of years; that but for their wisdom in guar anteeing financial return of 5s per cent

of New York, Is we'll as in Boston, in Chicago and one or two other cities, have become powerful and in the pos session of large resources through combinations. While Congress and the government at Washington in the pas. have looked askance at contemplated railroad and industrial combinations and in many cases sought to tear them apart. there never has been the slight est opposition on the part Of the gov ernment to combinations which have brought sever strong banks into d unified institution. In no better way can be illustrated the capacity Of the government to regulate and supervise corporate activities than is furnished by the experience of the national
 banks.
 The National City Bank is perhaps
 the only one of the greater banks of New York which has not obtained great influence and pre-eminent posi- ton by consolidation with it of other banks That bank has always stood alone in this respect, although it did. under the late James Stillman, liquid ate the Third National Bank Experi- ence has shown. however, that instead or there being danger to the public in the creation of a strong institution by the consolidation of several banks, ac- ton of that kind has been beneficial. Now it is announced that two of the older banks of New York are about to consolidate with capital stock Of S10,o00, GOO and surplus and undivided profits of 3,450,000. The unified in- stitution will. in this way, become one os the great banks of New York. with deposits in the aggregate of nearly S20o,000,o00.

Washington sur,aa Ihs Ass- ast.Id


 Washington, February &.-tSpecial9 The Esch-Cummins railroad bill passed the House by virtue of the vote of the re- publican majority, and ever the expressed protest of the major portion of the dem ocratic party.
 The bulk of democratic opposition was cue to two sections of the bill, that Guaranteeing to railroads a 5ls per cent return on their investments for two years with the understanding that earnings in excess of that amount would revert to the government for general railroad better ment and that requiring operators and operatives to refer their disputes to con stitntad authority rather than resort to strikes and lockouts involving disfreSJ and danger to the public.
 The opposition to the section carrying a guarantee was due to two causes, one being the very fact that the guarantee was provided, and the other the coidi- tion that prosperous railroads would be limited in their capacity to earn. rsle opposition to the. labor section, save that expressed by labors' own in Congress. was admittedly political.

WHAT THEY WERE TOLD

A thousand members of the Nationa, Dry Goods Association who, as whole. represent the entire United States were tcld that the time has come when & campaign against extortionate prices should be begun. Furthermore, a cam paiEn of this kind would be in the interest of the retail dealers even more than in the interest Of the consumer. To quote his own words. .fThe buyer has reached the limit of endurance If relief is not soon forthcoming he will cease buying and the merchant will find himself with overstocked shelves and no market for his wares The retailers were told also that they were not responsible or chiefly responsible for these high costs. For the first cause is the increase in the volume of money and credits with this is as- sociated the very great increase in wages. Then again the shortened hours production and the consequent lessening of world production Is one of the factors in the increased cost of living, and also the increased cost in

WATCHING THE RAILS

Some interesting features associated with railroad securities are likely to be discovered soon after Congress en- acts into law the railroad measure which was agreed upon in the confer ence committee of both houses. The wonder Is whether there will not be a steadily increasing appreciation in the market quotations for railroad se- curities. So also there is wonder whether in case this appreciation oc- CUTS there will be sent from Europe a considerable part of the railroad stocks which are still held by investors across the sea. Nevertheless, those who have closely watched the movements of rail- road securities are now persuaded that a comparatively small amount of them is now held in Europe. Ever since 1914 Europe has been sending seeur- ities of this kind which she held before the war to the Unitsl States and 1t has been one or the interesting fea- lures of the securities market that these have been so easily and incon- spicuousiy absorbed by American in

 It seems to be the impression that on the whole the country has reached the peak of high costs. although Mir.

 PAYING THE PRICE
Ky HOLLAND

Ky HOLLAND
 New York, February -(Speclaf.) Already the indications are becoming plentiful that a silent, organized boy colt IS in progress among consumers as a protest against high prices, espe- clally for many articles of wear. cloth Ing, shoes and the like But this feel ing was not publicly expressed until at the meeting of the National Retail Dry Goods Association the statement was emphatically made that the peak or high prices had been reached be- cause consumers would not Asanger sub nit to these excessive charges
 This disposition seems not yet to be shared in by the wage earners, who Tor the past year or two have been receiving unprecedented payments for their labor. They are still buying ex- with the clause providing for the main tenance of railroads without that earn- ing capacity by bestowinF on them eS- cess earnings of richer railroads, panic would have been made certain in the United States through the breaking down of transportations: and that the nation must have been impressed with their determination to stand for principle rether than for expediency at the dicta- tion of radical union labor seeking to gain control of public utilities.
 The democrats on the other hand point to the fact that they secured the Gill without voting for if. and that if union labor is in any measure grateful it will support the democratic rather than the republican party.
 As a matter of fact, the democratic party was in the air, The distress of certain members of the Alabama delega- tion and the uncertainty of others was probably typical of all other southern del- egations Representative Oliver was hot certain of his ground because of the guarantee section. He gave the measure the most earnest consideration. He mar y voted against il. At one time four members of the delegation almost agreed to support the bill. The plea of others that the delegation vote solidly was then renewed, and with intensified effort. On the first ballot two of the four supported the bill. These two were Representatives McDuffie and Heflin. Later, they changed their votes and made the Alabama anti vote solid.
 Other delegations, 1t IS known, had sfn1- liar trouble with their consciences and ideas of expediency. There is no gain saying the fact that the great majority of democrats are happy that the test is De ssed, and that there is little outspoken regret that the bill is lover the hill.
