President Signs Railroad Rate Bill
The senate and house conference
committee agreed on the railroad rate
hill at 11:15 of the evening of June 29
and President Roosevelt affixed his
signature.
In the closing hours of the debate in
the senate, Senator Tillman again at
tacked the nipe line amendment, de
claring it was in the interest of the
Standard Oil company. "About the
time the Allison amendments were in
tubating," he said, "there was a great
furore about the Garfield report on the
Standard Oil company, and we were
told that the exposures of its crimes'
would help the vote on the rate bill,
and under the cover of this dust the
president retired from his advanced
position on railroad legislation and ac
cepted the Allison provision. There
the Uig stick and pitchfork, which had
been in alliance, found themselves
separated, and the pitchfork, while do
ing duty on the firing line, looked
around only to see the tail of its asso
ciate hustling towards the rear slid
ing towards the Allison base, to use a
baseball plirase. The big stick was
rushing in on all fours to get between
Father Allison's legs." He had no
fault to find, he added, except that he
considered the fact that the president
had been inconsistent in not coming
to the assistance of the senate con
ferees. He considered it "a little re
markable that just when he might do
something to thwart the policy of this
gigantic monopoly he is as mum as a
mouse, except that there is now an
other hurrah about what the presi
dent is going to do to the Standard Oil
in the way of suits." He added that
notwithstanding the prosecution had
been decided upon "we are carefully
told in advance that the high offlcials,
such as Rockefeller, Rogers and Arch
bold, are not to be molested." He then
commented upon the employment of
District Attorney Morrison of Illinois,
as special counsel in this case, saying
that he had demonstrated "how not
to do it" in the Walsh case. "If," he
added, "they wanted an expert In that
line he is as good as could be found."
In the same connection he said that he
had been informed that the Hon.
Prank Monett, "the most competent of
all attorneys is to lose his job." He
added:
"So it goes; the dear people are
bamboozled every day, but the hurrah
goes on. The president assures us
from time to time that the crimeg of
the Standard Oil company are to be
punished, but when it comes to a real
fight and when there is an opportunity
to do something he sits dumb and al
lows the house conferees to compel
the senate conferees to yield to the
demands of the Standard Oil com

Henry D. Lloyd's
Posthumous Book
The death of Henry Demarest Lloyd
was a loss which will long be deeply
felt. His noble use of a life freed
from the pressure of earning a liveli
hood was for years an inspiration to
every thoughtful lover of his kind.
Ke gave his time and energy faith
fully to the study of facts and prin
ciple which could help in the social
uplift; and was himself the embodi
ment of the passionate zeal and con
secrated purpose of the new social
religion he discusses in a book com
piled since his death and but just now
published.
Not having seen the book, but only
extracts, the full significance of its
philosophical standpoint can not be de
termined, but the spirit of the follow
ing extracts shows the fervor of his
individual attitude, even though the
theologians may find something lack
ing: "That restatement of the same old
principles (the fatherhood of God and
the brotherhood of all men) which can
bring men as fellow laborers under
the same law, and that can associate
them as fellow worshippers, will be
the religion of the coming era.
The religion of the immediate fu
ture is to be an industrial religion
one which will expand to the associa
tion of men in their common toils,
the sacred law of brotherhood, which
they now obey only in the church, and
then brokenly, because, being infidel

to it outside the church, they are un
fit and unable to live up to its full
ness within the church."
More Specific description is found
in the following:
"There will be only one form of
worship in the new religion work;
but one form of prayer aspirations.
There will not be one dividing line
neither of creed, nationality, property
nor anything else. Man is slowly be
ing revealed to himself. ThA tcnrri th
world waits for today will come from
those who can disclose to humanity
that the perfections it has been at
tributing to its gods are sparks struck
out of the goodnesses it feels stirring
within itself. Mankind struggling up
out of the mud has not dared to think
of itself as the nebulae in which is
contained shining star stuff. But it
is coming "to feel that it does not
need to be divine by proxy any
longer."
There may be differences of opin
ion as to how such conceptions fit in
to older ideas of religion, but there
can be no doubt that this religion of
human creatures devoutly reverent be
fore human needs and human possi
bilities, and filled with the sense of
the sacred value of every atom of hu
manity, must be the central fact in
the-Feligion of the future.
To most persons this will seem but
the fulfillment of the old, old faith,
but the fulfillment must take place in
the world life. Denver News.
