j' ' (Wasbtaftee Iinh ot Tbe Joarsel.) '
I v Washington, March !. Many friends
j s of the president are criticising Jhlro ' se-
1 merely for apparently giving ofllolal
j 'voucher of b Is' Sympathy with the rail-
I road presidents attack on stats legle.
' Jstlon regulating ooramoa carriers. They
"ftloa " problemahaII have "been "worked
'out. It may . be necessary to' assign to
: the federal government regulative pow
; ers even larger than those now eoneeded
to be legal and constitutional.. But,
; now - that the state legislatures have
freed 'themselves of railroad -domination
for the first time In a generation,
.and when most people are rejoicing In
the wonderful victory whloh has been
won. suddenly come the financiers with
a propaganda which the president seems
to Indorse that legislatures should not
attempt te regulate ralroada or steam
boat lines. 1 .-, ,- r
Mates Throw off Yoke.
"One ef the chief evils of fatter years
, has been the degree . ef subserviency
with 'whloh legislatures have done the
'will of the transportation Interests. It
there has bees a state In the wast which
has not had a railroad lobby framing
legislation and electing United States
senators and debauching representatives
Of the people, well-informed men have
i overlooked It and would like te be
.shown where that commonwealth la
Agitation went en until, apparently, the
esse was hopeless. Legislatures : re
mained under the dominance of the
.transportation lobbies; and the people
Buffered.
'. "At last the thrall was broken, and
this year ' especially several legislative
assemblies proved that ths long-looked-
for liberation had been eooompllsheo.
It was a time for Jubilation.
. Tet there are reasons te believe that
'the president, preeminently today leader
. of the reform forces of the nation, pur-
. poses te slap tve state legislators In
,the face and encourage, them to say:
'wnara the user . x ,,
. ."'Slay at fcettelataree.
; "It seems to me that this Is a time te
throw one's bat Into ths atr. . I have
Ibeen watching the signs of the times
-and have regarded the freeing ef state
legtslattrrea in so "many, Instances from
' the thralldotB - of railroad lobbyists as
"about ths best sign of them all. I deep
ly regret that .the president baa permit
ted the Impression te go out unoor-
rooted. If It' be incorrect, -er at sit. if
It be true, that he wants te discourage
state legislation entirely at this time.
-Of course, Inlstakea will be made. Of
.- I course, law will be enacted which will
' "have to be amended, er. In some oases,
' ' repealed. But In the nameef good gov
r (eminent what sense te there In slapping
j which we have een depending to win
this victory T I distinctly don't like If
