the front in public
interest the inter

mission which will
be charged with put
ting in effect the re
forms contemplated
by the measure in
case of its passage
Much of the difference of opinion which
has developed as to the kind of bill
which should be passed turns on the
question of what powers should be
given to tho commission in the propos
ed law A crucial point In the discus
sion in tho halls of legislation at Wash
ington is that of whether the bill in
question should contain a clause pro
viding for judicial review of the de
cisions or orders of the commission re
specting railroad rates Many hairs
have been split by the legislators who
advocate this or that plan the con
servatives generally advocating limita
tion of the powers of the commission
and ample provision for appeal to the
courts from its decisions The radi
cals favor leaving the commission as
unlrammoled as possible in tho exercise
of its authority so that it may have a
full opportunity to remedy the evils
in the way of rebates and discrimina

Cleveland in February 1S97 and was
reappointed a second time by President
Roosevelt Commissioner Knapp was
considered one of the best lawyers in

the time he became

have placed the rail

the country under

combinations would be to give a small

over the charges to be Imposed He

When Missouri surprised the country
by goin Republican in 1101 it meant
the retirement from the United Slates
senate of one of its most familiar fig
ures Francis M Cockrell who was
the choice of Missouri Democrats for
the Democratic presidential nomina
tion of that year Commissioner Cock
rell served thirty years in the senate
and though born in ISol is still hale
and hearty He graduated from Chap
el Hill college Lafayette county Mo
and was a brigadier general on the
Confederate side in the civil war As
he was an ardent supporter of Presi
dent Roosevelts railway policy it was
urged that the senatorial guardian of
Uncle Sams strong box during Mr
Clevelands administration would make
a good member of the commission
President Roosevelt took the same
view and made the appointment just
a year ago
Commissioner Fifer is known in Illi
nois as Private Joe His career has
been full of picturesque episodes He
was born in Virginia in 1S40 but re
moved with his parents to Illinois in
1857 settling in McLean county His
father was a bricklayer and young
Joe learned that trade and worked at
it until the Avar broke out when he
walked thirteen miles to Bloomington
and enlisted in the Thirty third Illi
nois At the battle of Jackson Miss
July To 1SG3 he was shot through the
body and his lung was so lacerated
that it was declared impossible for
him to live He recovered however
and started to battle with life with
the loss of one lung It was impossible
for him to return to his old trade and
he was ambitious to become a lawyer
but his education at that time was
very limited By energy and self de
nial he succeeded in earning his way
through Illinois Wesleyan university
He and a brother boarded themselves
and one who was familiar with their
struggles has said
He had about the smallest house
keeping outfit I ever saw a man get
along with He had an old coffeepot
a rubber blanket a woolen blanket
and that was aboufall He looked just
like a boy and I think he wished to be
thought younger than he was being a
little ashamed that at his age he was
just beginning to climb the education
al ladder though under the circum
stances there certainly was no reason
why he should be
He was admitted to the bar in 1SG9
He was elected governor of Illinois in
1SS9 serving until
1S93 In the can
vass previous to his
nomination there
were seven men at
the Tazewell coun
ty convention for
whom Commission

years of age lie AA anted to shoulder a

campaign Hp was in the thick of sev
eral battles and was wounded in one
The commission is a busy body and
has much work in hand at the present
time Its powers are not sufficient
however as many claim to do the
work the body was created to per
form It is urged that under the oper
ations of an adequate railway rate laAA
these conditions would be changed
