Important Rullng.

The United States Supreme Court
has established an important ruling In
connection with case involving adj
missible testimony in prosecutions un-
der the Interstate Commerce Law. Ev-
er since this law was enacted it has
been impossible to enforce it's provis-
ions prohibiting railroads from form
ing pools. discri minations between
shippers and the granting Of rebates.
The Law makes both parties 70 such
agreements guilty, and heretofore the
witnesses would fall back on the old
Bill of Rights and refuse to testify. on
the ground that they would be incrim-
mating themselves. The court holds
that such witnesses must testify. but
it also establishes the ruling that when
they give testimony incriminating
themselves they shall be exempt from
prosecution therefor.
It is said that the court has now re-
moved the chief obstacle TO q complete
and effective enforcement of the Inter-
state Commerce law. Witnesses who
refuse to testify will be committed to
jail Tor contempt and punished until
they are willing to tell all they know.
For years railroad pool has been
maintained against st. louis and all
the Southwest ia the interests of Chi
cago. Now let the members OF the
Interstate Commission 60 to work and
earn their salaries. The law has prao-
tically been of no value to the public
since it was enacted, but the object
complained of has been swept aside,
and for once in its history the United
States Supreme Court has decided
against the wealthy corporations and
In favor of the public. The commis-
sion is now clothed with ample author
ity to punish all unlawful combinations
and be of some benefit to the people.

Indian Corn.

A correspondent inquiries on what
authority the Youths Companion re-
Gently spoke of Indian corn as not a
native CT North America.
Indian corn Is one Of the plants the
origin Of which Is unknown. Many
botanists have believed that 1t came
from the East, but the weight Of pres.
ent opinion Is opposed to that view
Alphonse de Candolle, in his work or
''The Origin Of Cultivated Plants" CON
cludes that maize probably originated
somewhere between Mexico and Peru
perhaps in Granada. The writer Of the
article Maize" in the Encyclopedia
Britannica" says that the plant ''is
most probably indigenous to tropical
America" Neither Candolle nor the
Britannica intimates that any one has
ever suspected Indian corn Of being d
native of the United States.
The Companions reference to the
natter was in connection with the ques
ton Of a national flower, and 1t would
have been sufficient for the writers
purpose to say that Indian corn wa!
not q native of the United States. That
indeed, was what he really had fl
mind. He used the words North Amer
lea as It is the custom Of botanists ant
biologists to use them, meaning the
North American continent north OF
Mexico. See, for example, Gray.

The Judges said that the monkey
