carriers are obliged TO obey. Having,
in the light of these decisions, given
the facts due consideration, we ascer-
tanned, found and reported the rates
which would be reasonable from and
to ST. Louis, Springfield and Seligman,
Mo-, TO and from Eureka Springs, Ark,
and have recommended that the car
riers reduce and conform their charges
to the facts so found and reported. This
recommendation may impress the car
riers only as may seem to accord with
their own interests, since in the present
state of the law, as declared by the
court, common carriers have the power
to establish, change and exact rates
independent of the judgment of the
commission"
THE court comedies to the commits

merce act TO determine what, in refer
ence TO the past, was reasonable and
just In the case under consideration.
the commission has determined that
the rates complained of and which are
now charged by the defendants, were
in the past and are now unjust, un-
reasonable and in violation of the
statute. The duty of notifying and
requiring the defendants to cease and
desist from such violations is enjoined
upon the commission by the act"
1t is evident from this official state
ment by the commission that shippers
and travellers are deprived under the
ruling of the Supreme Court of their
supposed right to compel through the
commission the adoption by railroad
carriers of ascertained reasonable
charges, and that they can only recov-
er such right by securing favorable
action in Congress.

VACATION SCHOOLS IN CITIES.

A few years ago it would have seem
ed odd to choose the close of summer
for a review of educational progress.
But the summer schools have changed
all that. Nowadays much of the best
work in education is done in summer
Moreover, a new kind of summer
school, very interesting in many ways,
has lately come into notice.

Books were discarded. The children
were invited to come and play. Grad
ually the play was made work, but
work of such a sort as to keep the
pupils interested and pleased. All the
devices of the kindergarten were en-
ployed. There were singing, dancing
and gymnastics. The children were
taught to play at sewing, at carpeting,
at drawing and clay-modeling. Some
of them learned something useful; and
all were comfortably and cleanly
housed during the school hours, and
kept off the hot streets and away from
vicious associations.

stereotyped diagnosis of the faith cure
physician, and by curious paradox,
after the first false Imagination is sup
posed to have been dispelled, the pa
tient is told to imagine that he is all right
and he will soon attain that happy con-
dtion.
Lacking a more substantial and re-
liable remedy for the manifold ills and
evils that have SO long oppressed the
country, the Republican party quacks
are now adopting the faith cure. Pros
perity is here" they say, "if you will but
think so. 1t is not necessary to see it,
if you will but imagine you see it, In,the
meantime take a little more protection

The doctors will either have to adopt
new course of treatment or find othar
patients. The people are tired of being
humbugged in order that the Republic

and at being bled in order that the
trusts, with pockets already swollen

A Useless Expense

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Her
aid: 1t appears from your report of the
Maxim criminal prosecution in today &
Herald that the county has been put to
a useless expense of about thousand
dollars, the District Attorney being
obliged to laove for a dismissal in con-
sequence of the testimony of his own
medical witness called in rebuttal.
As a taxpayer 1 rise to inquire why
the District Attorney or his bull-headed
assistant could not in the first place, by
the exercise of small modicum of COM
mon sense, have discovered that the
girls testimony had the fatal defect in
il that was afterwards so quickly
brought to light

have taught them to apply the simple
test of single question address to a
medical man who would have at once
told them that the girls story about the
action of the drug upon her system was
an impossible one.
If this had been done the defendant
would have been spared wrongful morti-
fication and unnecessary expense, the
county would have been spared a large
outlay, the District Attorneys office
would have been spared much merited
ridicule and some contempt, and, finally,
the public would have been spared the
nasty details of case revealing an un-
usual amount of depravity. d.
