1t costs good, sound money to play a prac-

manifold experiences OF a newspaper man,
no other act approaches a set of embalmed
resolutions in soothing his harassed soul,
lifting him above the selfshness Of the
world and inspiring nobler deeds in behalf
OF mankind. Commendatory resolutions by
a common council are priceless Jewels in
the bosom of newspaper life. Mr.. O'Brien's
good fortune is the envy and the admira-
tion Of his former associates.

4 Special COMMERCE COURT.

In a recent address Mr.. Prouty, Of the
Interstate Commerce commission. urged
the creation OF Il special tribunal, in the
nature of a court. which
should I've charged with the duty Of re-
viewing and enforcing the orders of a
commission, from which appeal upon
questions Of law, and perhaps those Of
fact, should be to the supreme court Of
the United States. He said the members
of such tribunal would he appointed for
life and would therefore possess the con
servatism Of "A court. They would not
come in direct contact with the parties
I'm the same way that a commission does
and hence would be removed from those
influences of a quasi-personal nature.
They would stand responsible to public
opinion for the proper discharge of their
duties. After all, they would speedily
become an expert body, even more IA
miliar with the matters at issue than a
commission itself and would be able to
act intelligently and promptly Mr..
PrOuty suggested that such a tribunal
would not he confined to reviewing and
enforcing the orders Of n commission
even though its duties were limited TO
the regulation Of interstate railways, but
might be available i'm dealing with mo
nopoly In other branches of Interstate
commerce than railway transportation.
The proposition to create a tribunal Of
this character Is not new. II was pre-
sentcd several years ago at the confer
cnCe held in Chicago to discuss meth.
DDS for regulating railroads and the
trusts and received some public atten.
ton and favorable comment AT that time.
II has been advocated by n few students
Of the problem Of railway regulation
and IL is to be remarked that Mr.. Prouty
by no means exhausted in his address
the arguments in support of the propO.
sition. Whatever may be thought re
garding the necessity for n special court
to deal with issues arising between the
Interstate Commerce commission ans
the railroads, there is not a reasonable
doubt that such a tribunal could b,
made Of very great public service. w,
have never seen any sound objection I,

Cooperation and profit sharing un,
doubleday present a most promising so

Ital and labor. Up to this time. how
ever. no profit sharing scheme has been

bly, broken down i'm hard times when

The Elaborate profit sharing scheme
advertised with such a great flourish Of
Jrumpets by the United states Steel
company appears az first blush very at
t%rartiye and fun Of promise for the EN-
DlOye~ of that gigantic corporation. a
careful analysis shows it to be an in
g]euious plan for checking the power Of
the labor organizations and labor com
hinatious. only q small minority Of the
lG~uOO employees on the steel trust pay
annual salaries of $3.50 10 $1,000. from
S5.u1u to $4,000, from 10000 10 $4,000
