Elkins and Railroad Rates.

Quoting the statement of the Kansas City Star (Ind.) that while Senator Elkins may not safely be looked to for a good rate bill “it is gratifying to note that he has come a long way toward meeting the overwhelming sentiment of the country, no longer talks about defeating legislation and practically concedes a number of points urged by the president," the Commoner asserts, “If ever the time comes that Senator Elkins and Mr. Roosevelt agree upon a rate bill Mr. Roosevelt will have made the material concession, while Senator Elkins will be found doing business at the old stand.”
