Menace of Roosevelt’s Pet Rail Road Scheme. { Special Correspondence of the Times. Washington, D. C., November, 27, 1905.—In Ohio for instance, where the triumph of Democracy was com- { plete and unexpected, a peculiar | phase of the election is that seeming ly it is at the same timie an endorse: | ment of President Roosevelt’s scheme for the regulation of railroad rates, | That color has been given to {t be- | cause Setiator Foraker opposed it, | and therefore, the azitators for rate | regulation have elsimed that this | election was a rebuke to Senator | Foraker, But on tho other hand | Secretary Taft who endorsed the | President's position in this matter led the attack on Boss Cox, and un- | questionably.did more than any one, or possibly more than any hundred | men, to bring about hiv defeat. This makes a queer mix-up from @ politl- cal standpoint and leaves the groper | for straws very much in the dark. Does the Democratic victory in | Ohio mean a declaration in favor of State socialism such as was the elec- tion_of Mayor Dunne in Chicago; and the casting of an enormous vote for Hearst in New York? That’s a tough problem to figure out and make it hitch with the railroad rate regula- tion idea. Unless the people are ready to take over the railroads bodily and have the Government run them, they will get a bureaucracy of the worst kind instead of socialism, if Roosevelt’s scheme is carried through by the aid of Democratic votes. If the Democratic party follows the leadership of Senator Morgan it will dodge radicalism that leads to State socialism. If it follows the lead of | President Roosevelt it will help. to establish in Washington a bureau whose political power will be abso- ; lutely unlimited; a tribunal that will not only fix railroad rates but will fix them in sucha way that it will makeor break any community whose political help it may need to the carrying out ofany of ite political echemes. The bossism that was downed the past week all over the country, irrespective of party, will be as nothing compared to the boss- fem that Roosevelt proposes from this political ratemaking commis- sion that he is so insistent upon. The evile that they can correct are s Folk has done, “that they are of the inconceivable powers for good or evil to a State or community, would be worse than any political bossism of any stripsfrom which thiscountry | has suffered. This rate making question is going to be the big issue before Congress this winter, and conservative Demo- eFats ‘here believe that they should yo slow before voting for something | that looms large as a pussibility of danger to the Democratic party. Should such a bureau as Roosevelt | wants, be established under partisan Republican control, it would seem ertain to mean the death knell of | AE WGK HER OST DRA ET CLOCKS, We have another big lot af the 8.

[tis not at} all wild to say that with it iu ing crcer the people would be eo un- | tthe Repu! tican po | litical coterie at Washington that | nothing short of eivil revolution | r relieve them frou it. work- ‘ der the contr Lf discriminations against localities andio favor of large shippers, are done away with, as are other abuses of trnnsportation that are due to discriminations, and existing laws euforced, the conservative men of both parties with whom I have talk ed, think that the troubles which seem to worry the Middle—West, would be absolutely obviated, and the dangers of a tremendous Kepub- lican bureau at Washington be avoided. We better try with something less important than railroads fora be- ginning jn State socialism. It has been too big @ problem for the European couutries that have tackled it. Cuarves A. Epwarps, | Governor Folk as White Sees Him. William Allen White has come out in McClure’s with a character sketch of Folk, of Missouri, He callsit‘‘The Story of w Little Leaven in a Great Commonwealth.” White’s reputa- tion as@ keen judge of men was at once established by his character study of Bryan, and his successive analyses of Cleveland, Hanna, Platt and others of the most important public figures of the day have given him almost the position of u nation. aloracle. Therefore his estimate of Joseph W. Folk, Governor of Mie- souri and foremost possibility forthe Presidential nomination of the Dem- ocrate in 1908, will have really great importance to the country at large ae well as undoubted influence on the shaping of the ambitions of young Folk himself. < White takes a very cool view of the David of the Democracy. ~~ . “Thetrath{s,” he says of the things such absent treatment as they canto make him a good governor of Mis- | sou souri; and, aller that, wa aetive citi- zen oi his community witil le shall growin mental stature, to keep up ripened for whatever great and good work his country may bave for him. | » Just because a sapling is straight, is | no reason why $t should be supposed | to be strong enough for the beam of | , aship. With ten years of seasoning | in public life—perbaps six of it in Washington—Folk would be sound and strong and worthy of any bur. | den; but now his duty lies in Missou- | ri, at his appointed tasks.
