It is hard for Senator Tillman, now the de facto leader of the rate regu lation fight, to keep up an appearance of conservatism. He is aging under the effort. He sat quietly through out all the debate Wednesday, but he could not let the opportunity slip to say just a few words as a parting shot to the conservatives. He rose up to say that if the senate- wa/to be hedged about so by court decrees that it eiid not give the people the relief they demanded from the oppressions of the railroads then it was about time for the senate to set about re forming the supreme court. That sentiment, strange as it sound ed in the senate, was applauded by the people in the galleries' It is al was a safe wager that the occupants of the galleries of both Houses of Congress are. a majority of them, rad icals. at heart if not by profession. Such sentiments as that expressed by Tilman draw applause from them in s)ite of the rule forbidding manifes tations of any kind and the reiterated threat made 'in the senate by the pre siding officer to have the gallerig leared if there should be a repetition of the offence. The galleries have never been clear ed by order of the presiding officer. When the occupants -get too demon trative .some senator shuts off fur-I thei demonstrations by moving to go into secret session for the consider ation of executive business. That clears the galleries without the pain fl necessity of having the door keepers tell the plel that they must go~( I utt beLcause they have vio la te a rule of thle senate. Senator Cole L.
