JBEESNTr-PEOPLB-AND-RAILROADSr
'HE PRESIDENT at Chicago yesterday reiterated
in general terms his Denver remarks about the
necessity of federal control of railroads, and in
connection with these public utterances it is again Fu-
- mored that he-will call a special session of congresrrfoTT
the purpose of enacting railroad regulation legislation.
In this connection and in view of the president's mani
fest determination to get some remedial or regulatory
legislation, a Jew remarks made by "a well known rail
way' attorney," as reported by Walter Wellman, under
.date of June 5, to the Chicago Record-Herald -are -of
" interest. --"If 2we-defeat all railway legislation in the
next congress, this lawyer said, "the American people
will rise up and insist upon reelecting Mr. Roosevelt to
the presidency.". But since this remark was made-Mr.
Roosevelt has reiterated in, positive terms his determina
tion not to run again for, president. -What, th?n, M
- Railroad Attorney,- wll the- -people do? To-.whomwi!l
-thejrtnrn?
"The railroads of the country," Mr, Wellmanireports
this railway attorney as saying, "have it in their-power

Jiavexecently made a long trip through the middle
" west and a part oT the south, mingling with the people
everywhere. I have satisfied myself as to the state of
public opinion. '.If the railroads induce the senate to
- kill all raflroad legislation the people will have their
revenge. They are with . the president. They say he is
th one man who has had the nerve to stand up and
: fight the railroad interests. If there is no legislation,
. - the railroads and the senate will be blamed, and a cry
. will go tip for-another term for .MjRooseveIt in the
White House, so that he may continue the war in the
people's behalf till he wins. This sentiment is not con
fined td Republicans. I found it almost as strong among
Democrats. Mr. Roosevelt has broken ' down party
lines. He has the masses of the people hypnotized.

' friends make the 'colossal blunder of routing the presi
- dent on the rate issue. they will 4ive to regret itrDespite

and not how as last November, under the excitement of a

that the railroads can control the senate if they choose

"WHAT, PLEASED THE CONDUCTORS. :.
HE RAILRQAD CONDUCTORS of the country
wiho are here attending their national convention
while very much pleased with Portland are more
than pleased with the fact that there have been no holdup
prices for anything which they, wanted to buy, whether
meals prrooms or trinkets -They say that while the at
tendance is large it-is not as large as it would have been
but for two circumstances, first, the great distance from
the populous' centers of the east, and second, because of
the apparently well founded belief that because of the
near approachof the-fair prfceswould" be put so high
for everything needed in Portland that-those -who at
tended this convention would- be practically ribbed.
Miich to their surprise they tound everything normal so
far as juices went, Jn;;f act rates were-lower-thatt-imHar
