chosen with a view of inspiring all
members with a desire to accomplish
the best possible results. ,

wherever she lived, to mourn her de
parture. Services were held in the

yet shall he live; and whosoever
liveth and believeth in Me shall never
die.' A large number of relatives and
friends attended the services and fol

AT SESSION OF CONGRESS.
There ia Talk of Making Some
.Changes in Railroad Rate Bill
WASHINGTON? Feb. 8.-SpeciaL
There is talk of making some changes
in the railroad rate bill at this session
of Congress, but if this is undertaken
it will be only for the purpose of per
fecting the law and making some
minor chanpes that will smooth over
the rougl- ,,laces. Friends of the
Rooscvf'1 policies will see to it that
nothing done to weaken the law
or make it less effective.
Senator Philander C. Knox, Pen
nsylvania's candidate for the presid
ency, had a great deal to do with the
enactment of the railroad rate bill
and it was principally due to his ef
forts that a specific provision was in
serted for a court review of the find
ngs of the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
Senator Knox contended for this
provision because he believed it
would strengthen the law and that
without it the act might be unconsti
tutional. Because of these views
those who opposed his ideas gave out
the impression that Mr. Knox was
not in harmony with the administra
tion and went so far as to try to
make it appear that he wanted to
weaken the measure.
The falsity of these statements is
proven by the utterance of at least
two eminent witnesses, one of them
Attorney General Moody, who suc
ceeded Mr. Knox in the cabinet, and
is now a justice of the Supreme

Court of the United States, and the
other Senator J. P. Dolliver, of Iowa,
who, more than any other senator,
was potential in determining the form
of the railroad rate bill. These two
gentlemen are better qualified than
any other person upon this subject
and both have testified to the sin
cerity and importance of Senator
Knox's work in connection with that
legislatioa
Mr. Moody made a speech at the
Academy of Music in Philadelphia
on October 29, 1906, at which time
he said:
"I think it was providential that
your great citizen (Mr. Knox) be
came attorney general, and I also
think It was providential that you
withdrew him and put him in another
place. For no man was more poten
tial in the framing of that law than!
was the junior senator from Pennsyl
vania. None stood more firmly at
the back of President Roosevelt, and
I wish to say now, and I consider
myself honored in saying it, that in
every principle of law involved in
that bill there was not an iota of dif
ference between the senator from
Pennsylvania and myself."
Senator Dolliver, one of the most
ardent friends of the rate bill upon
the committee on interstate com
merce, said in the Senate on May
17, 1906.
"Now in drafting this bill the fra
mers of it, I will say, were guided
very largely by the speech delivered
at Pittsburgh by the honorable sena
tor from Pennsylvania (Mr. Knox)
on the third of November, a speech

which reads almost like a judgement
from the supreme bench. His notio
was evidently that the commission
ought to have the discretion to pre
scribe the rate, for he says: ' "The
commission should have the power, if
it finds the complaint well founded,
to declare what shall be a just, fairly
remunerative and reasonable 'rate or
practice to be charged or followed ia
place of the one declared to be unreasonable."
