Washington, Jan. 16.?South Sar-;
olina has had a prominent part in 1
the piloting of interstate commerce
legislation at each of the last two
crises in that field of congressional
responsibility.
In connection with the fact that
by the sudden death of Senator Newands,
of Nevada, a few weeks ago,
Senator E. D. Smith became chairnan
of the interstate commerce com
mitte of the Senate, in which caV?a

ministration's railroad operation bill
in the Senate, it is recalled that in
1906, the last great period in railway
legislation, when President
Roosevelt recommended revision of
;he Commerce Act to give the Iu;ersta:e
Commerce Commission pow;r
to prescribe maximum rates.
1 _ _ jl
senator miman was Dy a strange
turn of fate put in charge of the administration
bill.
Mr. Tillman made a national repitation
by his success in handling
this measure on the floor. The coun;ry.
realized that he possessed not
nerely the ability of agitation, but
that he knew how to carry through
;he things he advocated if the pariamentary
opportunity were placed
vithin his reach. The junior Sena;or
now has a similar opportunity
>f the first class, nationally. It is
lot generally realized that he has j
seen presidng over the meetings of j
the Senate interstate commerce comi
Tiittee for five years in the absence i
jf the late Chaiirman Newlands. This'
experience has made him very fa- j
miliar with the work of the com-(
nittee and its direction.
Harking Back to 1906.
But to return to 1906. Senator;
Slkins, of West Virginia, was then;
chairman of the interstate commerce
committee. Senator Newlands was,
the very last of the twelve members,
of whom seven were Republicans,'
including such men as Cullom, of
Illinois; Aldrich, of Rhode Island;'
Dolliver, of Iowa; Foraker, of Ohio;
Clapp, of Minnesota, and Crane, of
Massachusetts. Senator Tillman
was the first member of the minority
five, the next four being McLau-j
rin, of Mississippi; Carmack, of Tennessee;
Foster, of Louisiana, and
Newlands, of Nevada.
