(By Aesociatod Pross.)
Washington May 21. Tho lie waB
recently pased In the United States
senate through the tfevonfold classi-
fication evolved In tho philosophy of
Touchstone tho fool la "Ab Tou
Like It' The "rotort courteous" play-
ed throughout tho rato bill discussion
With the freedom of tho sunshine on a
ferlgal day In June and tho "quip
. modest" and "reply churlish" danced
joo the lips of the fiery senator from
South Carolina with a frequency that
made It aa much a fixture of the day's
proceedings as tho grayer of tho ven-
erable chaplain. As the plot begun to
thicken and tho president went over
to tho enemy so to speak tho dignity
of the senate revcrbsratett ylth the
"reproof valiant" Tho presfaent came
Jack through tho lips of the polished
Lodge with tho "countercheck quar-
relsome' and then followed tho "Ho
fcircumstantlaL" By this time it seem-
etas though tho limit of senatorial
Kourtesy had been reached and tho
New York yellow Journals looked upon
the Congressional Record and Its rich
a Kn& racy reading with- envy. A wholo
jdayi of calm intervened and then some-
thing happened. Senator Bailey tho
strongest rod ablest man In tho Unit
ed States senate touched off a vorl--table
submarine jalne. Ho put in the
record that which many a man who
lias followed this Bad episode has
thought or guardedly uttered In pri
vate. He took the step at tho thresh-
Hold or which many a recKiess mau
liad halted tie gave what in tho code
pt honor is' the seventh and hist gra-
Iflatlon tho "lie direct." Out of tho
.turbulen waters amid tho wreckage
xose the head of tho hero who took
San Juan Hill -with his trusty pen end
ecrccched back defiantly and hysteri-
cally "nevor touched me."
This rato bill has been a most
amazing piece of legislation. It came
out of tho House as the Hepburn bill
There wero respects in which it
might bo Improved but it was drawn
in tho interest of the people and it
was fought by 'the railroad 'lobby and
by the Aldrich faction in the Sen-
atS In the absence of a specific pro-
vision giving the courts tho power to
jovIow the ;ates of the commission
Sit limited the review by the courts to
constitutional questions only. Tho
railroad lobby in ono of these anony-
mous interviews in the Washington
Post damned Jt as tho first effort In
tho direction of limiting tho court re-
view. In the Senate cororaltteo Aid-
rich was whipped out and the neas-
urs was about to become the Dolllver-
Clapp bill when Aldrlcb tho real and
crafty hero of this rate legislation
deftly took it out of tho hands of his
vlctorB and placed it in tho hands of
Senator Tillman. Again this astuto
ipolltlcian was about to bo beaten by
tho measure that had become a Till-man-Bailey-Roosovolt
bill asd ho de-
tached President Roosevelt from his
allies and snatched victory from 'de-
feat with the Aldrich-Roosovelt bill
ndv wide open court r-Jow.
This
new bill the President AloTrfrlj and tho
railroad lobby declare is tho samo
thing only more effective as the ori-
ginal Hepburn bill which the railroad
loaby had personally denounced as a
limited ourt review bill.
What will the House do about it?
' The consensus of opinion is that under
the lash It wilt take it and make It a
law Just aa the President and Ald-
rjch shall dicta? It hut it will not bo-
come a Jaw wtk only Beven negative

Had U is predicted that strango
things will come to pass. It is pre-
dicted that a most astonishing remov-
al of headquarters of railroad corpora-

United States The reason Xor this

tho bill provides that an application
for injunction shall bo passed upon by

been canvassed and the provision is
satisfactory to the'raUroadInterestSi
Tho provision to mako it . flvo in
Btead of three Judges however was
voted down. Thereforo It Is predict-
ed that widespread shifting of head-
quarters of railroads from "unfor-
tunato" locations to anoro favorable

passage of this bill.
It is yot too early for tho general
public to realize tho emptiness of its
victory but should that realization
come promptly and find emphatic ex-
prosslon the House may seo the nec-
essity of making a stand for the un-
doing of tho President's blunder.
Should that necessity arise tho Repub-
lican party will ho fortunate indeed in
having for it's president a man whoso
facility for reversing hlmsolf is equal-
led only by his agility In always land-

GIVES LONG
A NEW CARD
JUNIOR KANSAS SENA-
TOR MAY NAME BUR-
TON'S SUCCESSOR
THROUGH IIANNA'S DEFEAT
For Chairman of Republican
State Central Committee
QpedaJ to Day Leador
Tcpeka Ka8. May 21. Chester I.
Long United States senator won a
victory In Kansas last week. True
his name did not figure openly in the
fight but it Was n Long victory Just tho
same when 8. C. Crummer was elect-
ed chairman of tho Republican state
ccmrolttoe. As it lr Long hus control
of the state organization to lend a
powerful lnfluenc6 to any candidate
of his chosing for United States sena-
tor to succeed Burton and Morton Al-
baugh has taken a Hong stride toward
brushing 'Dave" Mulvano aside and
assuming his place as national com-
mitteeman. Tho fact of the matter ts that the
election was a severe Jolt to Mulvano
and unless he can do something within
tho next two years to stent the tide
ho C" apt to becomo a privato citizen
once more while tho party men will
be looking lo Albaugh as tho state
leader. This change In leadership will
In no way affect tho hold the rail
roads have upon tho situation In the
party because whichever way t he
political supromacy turns they win.
The Mulvano machlno has always
won Its fights with tho assist
ance of tho railroads and In the fu-
ture. If Albaugh goes In. they still
have an equally good friend at tho
switch. In fact during the fight in
tho last few days tho railroads kept
their hands off. It was merely a lit-
tle tilt within their own ranks.
But the Hanna men are not satis-
fied with the result Of course every-
lone is bound to bo "licked" once in
awhile but they say that their drub-
bing was tho result of unfair deal-
ing If honor can be considered a part
of the political game. They charge
that the opposition had the state com-
mittee called together when It knew
that Mulvano was away and could
scarcely get back in time to marshal
his forces; that there was an under-
standing among the leaders In which
the governor at least tacitly agreed
that Hanna should bo chairman and
that Albaugh. represented himself to
be for Hanna whereas all the time he
had his man "Jim" Nation lining tho
nominees mp for Crummer.
It was the same old story. On tho
surface the fight was for the chairmtn-
ship but beneath It all as in every
other Kansas political move it was
a question whether or not Long should
retain and restrengthen his hold upon
tho party machinery? What effect this
will have .upon the. senatorial election
next winter la hard to say. Long will
bq in a position tp dictate tu a largo
extent but then (hero Is a chance

POSTPONED
BIDDING WASBTOO LOW
t TO SUIT FEDERAL
COMMISSION
.lf
INVESTIGATION CLOSED
Inspector McLaughlin Re-
fuses to Talk About Case
Special to Dally Leader.
Pawhuska Okla. May 21. The sale
of tho lots at tho new town of Big-
heart by tho government last woek
was stopped and tho sale postponed
until Wednesday o this week on ac-
count of tho lots not bringing tho ap-
praised value. It is generally believed
that tho lots will havo to bo apprais-
ed over at least those that aro not
bringing the appraised value and ap-
praised at a price imoro in accordance
to what they aro worth. Tho peoplo
throughout tho reservation havo from
tho first kicked on tho appraised valu
atlon put on the lots claiming that
they would not bring tho nppraisod
value Thoy havo proved tho asser-
tion. Another attempt will bo made
Wednesday to sell tho lots at tho ap-
praised valuo and If unsuccessful the
townsite commission will try to havo
the apprnlsements reduced. It strikes
the people of P&whuska us being very
peculiar that tho commission is satis-
fled if the lots in town other than Paw-
huska bring tho appraised valuo and
hold up 431 lots In Pawhuska for In-
vestigation and rcfuso to Issue deeds
only in cases where lots have brought
threti times their appraised vnlue.
This looks like the commission has It
In for the city of Pawhuska and Is
trying to rub it In a little.
Investigation Closed Temorarlly.
Mr. McLaughlin has closed tho
Glenn lease Investigation here for the
present and left today fpr MtiBkogee.
Uyon being asked for some statemont
relative to his findings in tho investi-
gation ho said he was not at liberty at
this tlmo to tell the findings in detail
but would say tho actions of tbo
council in the passing of tho Glenn
lease was ono of tho roltenest pieces
of legislation he has ever been cilled
upon to Investigate and that thy find-
ings he has mado will lead to develop-
ments of crookedness such as he had
rtfivcr drsameu of grabbing prominent
men in the net as tho investigation
continued. Tho Interpreters who havo
assisted tho Inspector in his work
have spoken without any hesitancy of
the matter and all of tho public talk
of tho transaction comes very near be-
ing official. Tho people of Pawhuska
who have known somo of tho parties
accused of being connected with the
Glenn lease deal are loath to bollovo
their guilt owing to the fact that thoy
stand so high In tho estimation of the
people as good citizens and men above
that class of people who would sell out
their own people. The question that
seems to bo bothering the peoplo hero
Is what can bo done with them even
if they are found to bo guilty. Tho
lease that was passed by the council
was turned down by tho department
and It did not become a law. The
Osages as a tribe have not been af-
fected in nny way by this legislation
on the pax of their council unless It
should have it tendency to keep Con-
gress from passing tho allotment bill
nt this session of congress. If It did
tho result would bo what the people
here have been expecting anyhow.
They expect their affairs to be Juggled
tho same as they are In Indian Terri-
tory although they aro willing to ac-
cept anything that the government
wants to give them without any kick.

BURTON LOSES
HIS APPEAL
SUPREME COURT DE-
CIDES AGAINST THE
KANSAS SENATOR
MUST RESIGN AT ONCE
Or Seal Declarad Yacaiif by
Resolution.
(By Associated Prcaa.)
Washington. D. 0. May 21. Tho
supremo court today decided against
Sonator Burton of Kansas.
Tho decision afflrmB tho decision of
tho United States circuit court for tho
eastern district of Missouri hy which
Burton was sentenced to six months
Imprisonment in the Jail of Iron coun
ty Missouri required to ipay a flno of
twonty-flvo hundred dollars and do'
prlved of tho right to horcaftor hold
offlco under tho government. The
opinion was rendered hy Justlco Har-
lan. All of tho points mado in Bur-
ton's interest wero overruled. If Bur-
ton does not resign "at once" as a
prominent senator puts it a resolu-
tion will bo Introduced to declare hU
scat vacant.
Justices Brewer Whlto and Peck-
ham united in a dissenting opinion de-
livered hy Brewor. Their opinion was
hased on tho theory that tho United
States was not legally Interested In
tho caso against tho Rlalto company
in which Burton wns employed as
counsel.
Burton Dies Hard.
Tho court granted a motion to glvo"
sixty days to Burton In which to pre-
pare a petltlno for rehearing. Tho
action will have tho effect of taking
the caso over until tho next term of
court beginning in October (is the
(present temv will ind next Monday.
That tho Senate will bo compellod to
tako cognizance of tho caBo Is Indicat-
ed by tho decision In tho following ox-
tract: "Tho final Judgment of con-
viction did not operate Ipso facto to
vacate tho seat of tho convicted son-
ator nor compel the Sonato to expel
him or to regard him fiR ! '
foroo nicmo or uio judgment. Tho seat
Into which he was originally Inducted
aa sonator from Kansas could only bo-
corao vacant by his death or by expira-
tion of his term of office or by sonio
direct action on tho part of tho Sen-
ato lu tho exercise of Its constitutional
powor." Justlco Harlan also held that
sontenco could not cover an election
to the United States 8cnato as "thoy
do not hold their places under the gov-
ernment of tho United States."
