well for amateurs. Dr. Dabney, who
stood on the firing line in the Philip
pines ior three consecutive years, with
a rifle in one band and a pair of dental
tongs in the other, got off in front, but
was soon headed by Samuel Center

road was recently responsible for the
loss of a couple of desirnble additions
to our population. The gentlemen
made the round trip and immediately
left the country in search of a home
where travel is not quite so strenuous.
The Duty of Women."
I am glad the women of Oregon have
decided not to longer waive their right
of suffrage and allow it to remain dor
mant. Their present promising cam
paign has reached the stage where it is
conceded with practical unanimity that
such an intrinsic right exists. Such
opposition as is encountered is founded
upon other objections.
Woman's strongest appeal for the
exercise of the ballot may be based
npon the question of her dnty to enter
politics and make her infl nence felt' in
the advancement of the necessary re
forms in wnich our best citizenship is
interested.
It should be remembered new that
after the victory has been won the
results of the first election in which
women will participate will raise our
political standards just in proportion to
the loftiness of the ideals maintained
throughout this campaign.
Ihe largest contributing factor to
present unsatisfactory political condi
tions is that no many men have a fulse
and unpatriotic conception that they
are too good to participate in politics,
and while their selfish neglect of public
responsibility places them iu a huraili
ating position, the woman who fails to
appreciate that it is her duty to take a
hand is liable to precisely the same
criticism. B. Leb Paget,

Fulton at the Bat.
The Washington (D. C.) Post of Jan
uary 17 contains an interesting account
of Senator Fulton in action, of which
The Leader reproduces the following
paragraphs;
"Rate legislation held the boards in'
the Senate yestorday. The question
was brought forward unexpectedly, and
from a source that had not been
guarded. As soon as the topic was
sprung, the Senate eat bolt upright and
took notice.
"The debate was provoked by Mr.
Fulton, of Oregon, who made his first
appearance, so to speak, before the
Senate, aud who, by the way, created
an excellent impressiou. He offered
an amendment to the Dolliver bill, giv
iug the courts power to modify orders
of the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion when such ordurs are confiscatory.
Mr. Fulton proceeded to explain his
proposition, uud almost in a twinkling -Messrs.
Foraker, liaiiey, Spooner and
Nelson were at it hammer and tonus.
It seemed at one time that the whole
question was to be opened up and
seriously debated. Mr. Fulton's speech
was interrupted so frequently and at
sucn considerable length that he was
compelled to occupy the floor for more
than two hours. He brought on one of
the finest skirmish fights of which the
Senate has yet been the scene on the
question of railroad reform.
"Mr. Fulton said that his provision is
intended to prevent the enforcement of
unjust decrees, and argued that as the
Dolliver bill stands in case such au
order should he issued, it would be im
possible for the commission to change
it until after great delay, with conse
quent great expense.
"Iu response to a suggestion by Mr.
Clay he contended that the amendment
does not confer legislative functions
upon the courts, he said that only
Congress had power to fix rates, but.
that it could enact lawe delegating the
authority.
''He said in response to a question
from Mr. McCumber that be did not
consider the determination of what was
a reasonable rate in a given case a mat
ter for legislation, but rather for judi
cial determination.
"Mr. Foraker also took the view that
such action was necessarily a judicial .
function, and said that courts fixing
such rates should have authority to
enjoin greater rates than those fixed by
them.
Mr. Spooner defined the present
status to be in accordance with decis
ions of the Supreme Courf, that the
courts had the right to determine what
rate was reasonable in designated cases,
but that the flxiug of rates for tho
future was necessarily not a judicial
function.
"Mr. Fulton and Mr. Bailey engaged
in a colloquy about the question of
rates, the former contending for the
right of the courts to determine what
was a reasonable rntu and the latter
inclining to the opinion that coilrts
could only determine that certain cases
were unreasonable. Mr. Fulton con
tended that the determination of tho
one point Included the other.
"Mr. Foraker expressed the opinion
that Mr. Fulton was entirely correct iu
his position."
