FAITHFUL AND EFFICIENT

Senator Hale announces his can
didacy for a second term in the Unit
ed States Senate. We hear no crit
icism of his service. 1t has been both
faithful and efficient. Such opposi-
ton as may arise will scarcely at
tempt to deny this: rather it is based
on sectional grounds, regarding
which opinions may honestly differ.
It is creditable alike to the senator
and to the State which he serves that
the evidence of his faithful and eff
cient efforts is not called in question.

SITUATION IN SENATE

AS Governor Sproul OF PennSyl-
vania is too big man to put himself
in the humiliating position of resign
ing, with the understanding that the
lieutenant governor would appoint
him to the United States Senate, the
prospect of the state Of Simon
Cameron sustaining its prestige in
that body in the immediate future is
not bright. Under the Camerons.
Quay, Knox and Penrose Pennsyl-
vania has maintained justly cele-
brated influence in national affairs.
Governor Sproul appears to be re-
garded by the home folks as most
eligible to occupy their shoes. This
he cannot we'll do at present.
The country as a whole is affected
by this waning of Pennsylvania in
fluence. Notwithstanding Senator
Penrose was compelled to yield some
what to the agricultural bloc it could
not come to ascendancy while he re-
manned at the helm. Now his prob
able successor, McCumber of North
Dakota, as chairman Of the powerful
finance committee, following the rule
of seniority, will have a constituency
much unlike that of Pennsylvania,
which last year paid ten percent of
all the Federal taxes. This will be
the first time the Craftsmanship of
that committee has gone to the West.
Moreover it goes at time when that
part of the country is restless and
seeking by legislation for favors at
the hands of the Government. The
strongest of senators may not be
wholly unmindful of their con-
stituencics. McCumber is a strong
man and should make good chair
man.
Describing the present situation in
the Senate Brigham has this to say
in the Boston Transcript:
The strongest figure is Hiram w.
Johnson of California, but men will
not work with and for Johnson as
they would for Penrose. johnson
might so assert himself that he
would be able to swing a sheer bulk
of votes which he happened to find
under his hand in such a manner as
to resemble leadership; but so also
might Kenyon of Iowa who is no less
a fighter. Kenyon is a genuine con-
structive legislator, whose interest
centres in the measures he proposes
ant who even now is conducting
negotiations of the utmost value to
| Republican prospects. Borah leads
by the magic of his thought but in a
detached way and only in certain di-
! rections. Brandegee is of much the
same type as Penrose, with the same
caustic wit but without the back
ground. He is of the Old Guard
| Curtis Of Kansas, another of the Old
Guard, is mixer and a pacif1er
Smoot of Utah exerts power through
sheer industry, legislative scholar
ship, and the confidence the business
world reposes in him, but he has nc
leadership qualifications. Watson OF
Indiana is exceedingly active and
useful and probably was closer to
Penrose than anyone else. Moses OF
New Hampshire is a blazing force in
whatever he turns his hand to, with
many of the Penrose qualities as a
practical politician. All of the fore
going. except Johnson, Kenyon and
Borah, are Of the regulars"

DEMONSTRATION AND SU0.
GESTiON

The conference before the Public
Utilities Commission between those
who wish to have q reduction Of
freight rates on certain agricultural
products and those who declare the
railroads cannot afford to make 1t.
was another in a series Of demon
STATIONS. These warrant the conclu-
sion that q shipper is just as much
Interested in the long run in having
his transportation facilities kept in
good shape as the railroad is in hav-
ing prosperous shippers. 1t likewise
serves as a reminder of the need not
only OF n broad view OF such situa-
slons but likewise an extended view
into the future. commonly termed
foresight.
II will be recalled that about a year
ago the railroads went before the
legislature with an account Of the
predlcament in which the demonstra-
flon OF Government management and
post war conditions had put them.
There was opportunity at that time
10 verify the statements made as to
conditions, but while those state
mcnts were not successfully denied
the relief sought was not granted.
Had the sources Of the present senti-
mcnt for freight reduction then been
favorable to tax reduction the latter
probably would have been granted.
Now this may or may not exert an
influence in the present situation.
II should not. although 1t is feature
10 bear in mind in the interest of wise
dealing in the future. The present
situation-shippers in need of lower
freight rates and railroads in need of
greater revenues-should be decided
on It's merits and its relation to the
future. but not TO the past.
Recalling the protest advanced by
railroads outside New England to
the effect that they could not afford
10 grant freight reduction and the
consequent order of the Interstate
Commission making such reduction
thero seems to be a quite general
opinion that freight reduction in
Maine will eventually be ordered by
the Commission, but this will afford
no present relief to shippers of past
seasons crops.
And here is nub that should be
considered. II suggests the Ques-
ton. which includes the future as
well as the past: cannot better I'M
