TILLMAN'S LOGIC
SENATOR TILLM AX suffers from an impediment in his
logic that comes natural to ih^_ bitter partisan. He holds
Roosevelt responsible for the sins^of* certain federal: judges.
in the south whofe superserviceable haste in flying to the
rescue of railroad companies and nullifying state "laws for_,their
regulation, without hearing the other side, has been widely criti- 1
cised. In an article under his own signature Senator Tillman writes :j
Judicial usurpation and trust abuses arc correlative questions. /The two
are interlocked and one hinges upon the other, as President Roosevelt himself
recognized when he made the issue, in 1904 and 1905.: that the railroad rate
fixed by the commission should go into effect immediately and stick there
until reversed by the courts. Of. course we all know he' surrendered oh
this important point and that Aldrich came off victor.- -ThH bit of legislative
lii>tory turns the light on the striking fact that-in North Carolina the attempt
made to do just jyhat t'ne president" declared all railroads ought to be
compelled to <io. But the federal court butted in and ,«aid they couldn't do
it: But they did! . .- , ! ' - :^
The Root idea of centralization will be the vital issue in the next presi
<!ential campaign. The Root idea will be pressed by the republicans and
Roosevelt; the democrats will, naturally and inevitably, take the other side.
Here we observe a fine confusion of invective. Senator Tillman
is free to admit that Roosevelt desired that executive or legisla
tive regulation of railroads should take effect at. once when, the
order was made, but the senate ring, headed. by Aldrich, was too
strong for him. and he was compelled to accept a compromise.
Tillman condemns the hasty action of Judge Pritchard in North
Carolina in attempting to nullify a state statute without 4 hearing
on the merits and by-an, exercise of the very power that Roosevelt
desired to see taken away from the federal "bench. '" We cannot, and
we ought not to take away the power of judicial review of execu
tive orders affecting property rights, but we can and should forbid
the courts to suspend .the laws by an order of temporary injunc
lion before a hearing on the facts of the case. That is what
Roosevelt wanted 111 federal cases, but was compelled to forego
by the strength of the railroad ring in the senate. He was forced
to take what was offered by vray of .compromise or get no legisla
tion of any sort on the subject. ; <^;'
What was this idea of centralization; propounded by Secretary
Root which Tillman thinks will make the. backbone : of the repub
lican platform? It was simply tHat if the states should continue to
reglect their powers and duties to regulate and; restrain the trusts
the federal governrnerit would be jforced by public opinion to step
into the breach. Tillman labors io, confuse Hhis position with the
action of Judge\ Pritchard' and J Ju<ige : -johcs.^(As- a matter of fact,
the two lines of thought are diaraetrically Root 'sug
gests the duty of the states to exercise the^ri local powers on the
same lines as Roosevelt's nationaHpoficy? "" '.'^ritch^rd^atterapts^to
nullify the exercise of those powers.,, v . . \u25a0'} '\u25a0?}'?''\u25a0. * '.- ......

OUR VISITING OUTLAWS
TT does not seem that the^ ' tra veling^Hiridu, - whom we have
I so many on the Pacific coaSt,jh'as anyllegal: status superior jto
J_ that of outlaw. He is a sort of ; international vagrant, without
. defined rights. For instance, compensation may be paid , to the
Hindus who were injured in the; BeJHngharri bay riots, but^ if /paid
it will be purely as a matter : of J courtesy. _THe Hindus appear to
have no treaty rights in this country and they /cannot naturalise
as citizens. That comes -pretty f^ear an outlaw; status. .
The Washington Post has examined this, question in the light
of treaty provisions and finds that .subjects > of the British
crown are nowhere included under, the treaties % between Great
Britain and the United States.- -;lri|factj. the! Hindus are excluded
from treaty rights by implication ;if>not:expresslyl There are- two
treaties dealing with the subject. /The; first of these, dated in
1815, provides:' ;
There shall be between the Territories of thie^UnitediStates of America
isnd all the Territories of His Britannick/Maje^ty in Europe a- reciprocal
liberty of Commerce. The Inhabitants;6f- the Uwo^C<>uri.trjes* respectively
shall have liberty freely and securely tb'^come wHHI their j ships and cargoes
to all such places, Ports and Rivers iri^the Territories aforesaid- to which
other Foreigners are permitted to come.-to^enter intd.the same, and to' remain
and reside in any parts of the -said TerriioHes I respectively, also^to'hire arid
occupy Houses and Warehouses i6r the, purpdses /of their commerce, *andi
generally the Merchants and Traders of each Nition respcctively/shaH.'enjoy I
the most complete protection and security- for -theif "Commerce,^ but- subject !
always to the Laws and Statutes of : the two" countHes: respectively. I

AN UNEXPLAINED DISASTER
: - - *-. : \u25a0_\u25a0:: ;\u25a0<\u25a0.- . : • » -
TNQUIRY into the causes of : the unaccountable fall of the
I Quebec bridge raises the question, ;How;far is engineering an
£ exact science? The engineers who conducted the^ /inquiry
admit that they arc unable to expl4i^ : tHe' collapse of the
bridge, which .was to Jh aye been, when ';„ the. lafgest/of
its kind in "the world. I They admit - that the, materials were of -the
best and they find no .faults in construction. The work, they say,
« "was in charge of men of long experience /and. the ; highest (pr 6( pr6

fessional standing." The Engineering News sums up the conclu
sions of the experts in- these words ::- ,
We step^ up from^ the f ordinary columns of ordinary construction, tried
out in multiplied practice, frto enormous,' heavy, thick plated pillars of steel,
i and'we apply the samcTrtifes. Have we the confirmation of experiment as a
warranty? Except in the flight of theory, these structures are virtually un^
known. We know the material that goes into their makeup, but we do not
know the composite, the structure. .: •.: . {
It is at exactly thisvpoint .that 'the Quebec; bridge failure: becomes of
importance to the. whole .engineering profession.':- Until the cause, is-abso
lutcly determined— if, indeed, 'it- can ever be— or until the profession has
actual results of te?ts of huge columns at its command, a cloud of doubt rests
upon us as to, the margin of safety in every great Jiridge structure; at any
rate, Avhcn the unit stresses are'forced up to~thc point deemed safe by the j
designers of this bridge. /;' .\ - . i ;
Long and careful: insjection of the wreck shows that the material was i
of excellent quality;* that -: he workmanship} was remarkably good. The end
connections of the compression members were remarkably massive and well
wrought together. -The dousbt all centers around the design of those enormous j
long columns of which the! lower chord^arid, the vertical posts were made up. 1
Did one of them fail uncter a-.load; oiily one half the elistic limit of the j
material in it? That is th(- question which must, for the present at least, be
left -unanswered. :
It is ;amystery that may not bc-imrayeled by, alayman, but
it is the fact that no two engineer's ever the; measure
of a safety factor. The differences; of opinion fbntthis matter are ]
plain to' be seen any day from^ multiplied • examples - in ' rebuilding
this cit.y. W r alk the length of Market street and observe; the w^ide
differences of size ami: weight of the steel beams used in build- •
ings, of nearly equal magnitude. . Some of .them are nearly twice
as heavy as others. The /conclusion /enforced by these differences
is that there is >ither waste of material; or danger of collapse, with
all the .. probabijitiesVpointing to ;,; waste;. /None of jour steel frame
buildings was in the; slightest degree, injured by the earthquake.

THE INSIDER
Records the inauguration of anew business
for vvorrien and 'finds that success makes
the ''furnished' flat brokers" autocratic
IX this city there are several girls engaged
in the occupation of supplying furnished
fiats, apartments, houses or mansions to
thosV who need them. The temmine gobetweens are kept busy trying to meet
the large demand.- The method of work is simple. If a person desires a fur
nished'house is known to'any of the fraternity that person 13 immediately
seen and supplied with all the information that the feminine real estate
agent has. The owners of -the. houses usually arc ready to pay a commission
of the -first month's rent/which varies, ranging all the. way from $50 to $300.
IfVlease is taken different terms: arc in order, often to the advantage of
the woman agent. ' \ I
' There arc t>vo enterprising young' southern women here who have been
so successful that; they have organized a company and arc known under
their firm; name. It is a pleasant Jjusiness*, as well as a paying one, for a
woman generally knows what another wofnan would like and the knowledge
cuts out many hours of useless searching.
But. alas!* so successful have some of the fair agents become that they
