VERY much of our effort in refer

every device and expedient TO try TO
secure a constantly better understand

Every thing possible should be done to

Comments Strike Commission.
when we deal with such a subjecl
we are fortunate in having before US
an admirable object lesson in the
work that has just been closed by the
anthracite coal strike commission
/ Their report was made just before the
senate adjourned at the special seS-
sion; and no government document of
recent years marks a more important
piece of work better done. and there
is none which teaches sounder social
morality to our people. The commits
sion consisted of seven as good men
as were to be found in the country,
representing the bench, the church,
the army, the professions, the en-
ployers, and the employed. They acted
as unit, and the report which they
unanimously signed is a masterpiece
of sound common sense and of sound
doctrine on the very questions with
which our people should most deeply
concern themselves.
In the field of general legislation
relating to these subjects the action of
congress is necessarily very limited
Still there are certain ways in which
we can act. Thus the secretary of the
navy has recommended, with my cor
dialand hearty approval, the enactment
of a strong employers liability law in
the navy yards of the nation II
should be extended TO similar
branches of the government work.
Again, sometimes such laws can be
enacted as an incident to the nations
control over interstate commerce. In
my last annual message TO congress
advocated the passage of a law in
reference to car couplings-tO
strengthen the features of the one a.
ready on the statute books so as 70
minimize the exposure to death and
manning of railway employees. Much
opposition had to be overcome. IN
the end an admirable law was passed
''to promote the safety of employees
and travellers upon railroads by COM
polling common carriers engaged in
interstate commerce to equip their
cars with automatic cOupleTs and con-
tinuOus brakes and their locomotives
with driving-wheel brakes" This law
received my signature a couple o.
days before congress adjourned. II
represents a real and substantial adj
vance in an admirable kind of legis-
lation."

Exceeded Authority.

Attorney General W. B. Douglas
filed an opinion with State Auditor S.
6: Iverson that the last legislature
exceeded its authority in providing
that horses afflicted with CHAMBERS
shall be appraised by the state live
stock sanitary board without taking in
to consideration the fact that they are
in diseased condition. Mr.. Douglas
holds that the Legislature had no right
to provide that the board pay more
than the actual value of the horses,
and that in arriving at the actual value
the appraisers must consider the fact
that the animals are diseased.
The live stock sanitary board has
killed many horses afflicted with gland
ers, and the state auditor has received
several claims for three-fourths of the
amount Of the appraised value Of the
animals'i in accordance with chapter III
of the laws of 1903.

They smoked out the wrong man.
The arbitrary methods of the Mus
covites may make mess of it once
in a while. An account of ridi-
culous blunder made by the police
at Hargo has just made the rounds
of the Scandinavian press. Prof.
Arvid Neovius, who occupied a posi-
tion at a high school in Helsing-
fors. was suspected of anti-Russian
agitation, and the police we're order
ed to search his house for evidence
against him. On the same day some
policemen proceeded to the house of
Senator Neovius, at Hango, and they
made thorough search of his house,
breaking locks and prying into every
thing and even destroying much ex-
pensive furniture. After the raid
was made it was found out that Sen
ator Neovius was cousin of the man
that the authorities had in mind. But
what makes this sample of Russian
justice particularly rich is the fact
that particularly rich is the fact
and tool of General Bobrikoff, the
arch enemy of Finnish liberty.
