JUDGE COOLEY.
A Tribute to the First Interstate
Commerce CommiSstoner.

Tribute To the First Interstate
Commerce Commissioners.
The death of Judge Cooley can hardly be
said to be a present calamity to railway
interests, because his active career was
known TO have been finished some years
ago. but railway companies and railway
men should never cease TO hold in CRATE
full memory the services which he rendered
them. II is difficult now. looking back
to the time eleven years ago when the
interstate commerce act went into effect,
to recall the intensity Of the apprehension
with which the creaUion of the commission
Was regarded by railway men in general
There had been much bitterness in the de-
bates which led TO the passage OF the act
and there was no doubt that the people
generaly expected the commission 10 oe
not as the law intended. an impartial
aibiter and intermediary between the COM
panies and the public. but an instrument
created for the use of the enemies of he
railways for their punishment and persecu-
ton. The powers OF the commission were
little understood. Railway men were in
the greatest uncertainty as to the spirit
which the new board would show Judge
Cooley's first words were message of re-
assurance. He told the companies 10 90 On
doing business in good faith, 10 give the
HlouiIylnB cIduSts OF the act all latitude
of Interpretation and to be assured that
the commission had no desire to disturb
the commercial relations OF the country
Railway men were still suspicious and It
was long time before they came to UNDER
stand that the commission. under Judge
Cooley, intended to be an upright and I'M
partial body. Sometimes Judge Cooley
himself provoked Tor justfiedl antagonisnl
by certain petulance Of manner and ut
terance at the sessions of the beard and
by certain seeming recklossness in talk
ing TO the daily press, But the railW avs
learned to forgive all that for the sake
of the really great qualities of the man.
In time they came to know that he was

What would have happened II the com
mission had at it's outset been put in con-
troll of guiding spirit OF a different char
acter, II n appalling to contemplate. Some
suggestion of what might have come has
been given by the subsequent course OF
the commission under Mr. Morrison, who
seemed almost 10 labor to destroy the con-
| fitence and respect which Judge Cooley
had won for the board. Mr.. Morrison how
ever, never had the opportunity for mis-
