The Elevators Take Toll.

The decision of the interstate commerce COM
mission in the case Of Frederick A. White
against the Michigan Central railroad company
and the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern
railway company was announced today. The
opinion was written by Commissioner veazey.
Elevators for the receipt and storage Of wheat
are located on the line of the Michigan Central
at Buchanan and Dayton, Mich. and on the
line of the Lake Shore at Plainfeld and New
Carlisle. Ind. For the past five years COM
plainant has delivered different loads of wheat
to these elevators. The complaint charges that
the custom Of these companies to deduct from
five to ten pounds Of wheat per load from
the true weight is illegal The complaint
failed to charge that the wheat was delivered
for interstate transportation. The commission
holds that the complaint was insufficient in
substance to show violation Of the act to regu-
late commerce, and that the respondents are
entitled to have it dismissed. but that the dis
missal should be without prejudice to the in
stitution Of another proceeding. The aver
ment in the complaint that the railroad COM
panies were interstate common carriers does
not warrant the inference that wheat delivered
at their elevators was for interstate commerce.

A HumOrist's View Of HumOr.

Humor is luxury and yet it is a
necessity. Everybody is permitted to
use his own taste and discretion in Sc
lecting his style of humor, but you can
rest assured that he is going to have it
in some form or other. Humor. like
religion. needs publication. and all is
not humor that calls itself SO; but
whether it be in music, In art, In liter
ature. on the stage or in the pulpit, it
Is doing more in a good.natured way
towards disfguring the features of en-
ror end fraud than many more preten-
tious agencies. In the first place, il
has q bigger audience. In the second
place II has a good-natured audience.
In tht third place. you can laugh a
stubborn man out Of folly when you
cannot knock him out of il. You car
rdicule him out of it. You can ridicul,
him out of 1t when you cannot preach
him out of it or pray him out of it.
Therefore, let a purified and exalted
humor keep the sinner good natured
while 1t makes folly appear foolish and
paves the way for what is more pro
found Bill Nye.
