Red Tape Studldily.

This is the common experience
of the business man who seeks in
formation from the statistical
branches of the departmental SER
vice. Every time he opens a
frankcd envelope lie begins TO un-
wind roll of red tape. When he
reaches the end he frequently finds
another roll of thc same material
carefully attached and concludes
that it is n waste of time to do any
further rnwindine. The expIana-
tion of fhis condition of affairs, 50
annoying to the np-to-aate NOR
chant or manufacturer, lies in the
atmosphere of ultra-c"nserva,ism
that envelopes every Government
office. The rules and regulations
today arc those of the first Year of

the subsequent annual additions.

No Compromise With Railroads.

looking for no compromise with
the railroads. His direction to
the Acknowledgement to bring suit
against the Terminal Railroad AS
sociution ut St. Louis. ON the
ground that It is monopoly oper-
ating in violation of its enabling
charter, will be regarded in certain
senatorial and railroad circles as
throwing down new guantlet.
There is no sound reason for that
view, however. The grievance is
one of long standing. Two years
ago it was brought to the attention
of the administration by the At
torney-General of Missouri. But
it WIS dragged along by Secretary
Root, who passed it over with the
War Department, where jurisdic-
ton was thought to lie, to Secre-
tary Taft. He finally decided that
he could 10 nething. but recon-
mended a suit by the law officers
