The Force Of Responsibility.

From the New York Post: There
can be no doubt that any Interstate
commerce commission composed of
right thinking men would disregard
the distance theory In adjusting rail
road rates, provided they had the
power to act on their own Judgment,
But few government agencies do have
or do retain this power. The fact that
the commission has disregarded The
distance view in the days of its weak.
ness and ineflectiveness Is not proof
positive that II could do IL in the days
of It's strength II the commission
were actually doing things, actually
adjusting rates, and throwing upon
the railroads the burden of showing In
the courts that these rates were rea-
sonable, the pressure upon the com
mission to influence its decisions
would be u hundredfold what II Is To.
day. Would II be as free then to re.
fleet It's own opinions, or the opinions
of intelligent men in general, as 1t is
today? That is the great question.
Experience would have to furnish the
only guide.
That there is difference between a
government agency with, and one
without, real power in its ability to
express its own Judgment, goes with.

like that between majority and a

A GOOD ADDRESS.

"The Agricultural Development of
Southwestern Wisconsin " was the
subject OF the address by Judge Aldro
jerks at Fennimore's field day, Aug.
A. 1t was large subject for such an
occasion, but Judge jerks handled 1t
we'll. He contrasted the present meth
DDS Of farming with those OF fifty
years ago and referred to the progress
made In many directions. He spoke
of the increasing value OF the farms
of this section Of the state. The In
crease In Wisconsin land values is
due not alone to the faith and toll OF
those who have owned or now own the
farms. The university OF Wisconsin,
through It's agricultural department
and otherwise, he said, Is doing n
great work. In the Babcock milk test
alone, IL has returned to the farmers
and dairymen Of the state more than
the university has cost the people
from It's beginning. The speaker
dwelt upon the fact that II Is neces-
ry for the agriculturist OF today to be
an educated man. He also contrast
ed the social customs OF pioneer days
with those OF the present. The whiskey
Jug is no longer deemed indispensable
TO the harvest field, and better condi-
tions prevail generally.

THE MILITIA INSPECTED
Col c. d. Gather Submits His
Report TO Adjutant-
General Riggs.

The report of Col Charles d. Gather,
inspector general of the Maryland Ma
tional Guard, as to the relative stand
ingsof the different organizations as
determined by the inspection just
completed, has .been submitted to Ad-
jutant- General Riggs.
This is the first time that an actual
numerical rating has been given, and
it is believed that it will stimulate
the organizations of the guard to
greater efforts to improve their stand
ing. In the First Regiment the first
three companies in order of merit are
b, of Hagerstown commanded by
Capt. George L. Fisher, and a tie be-
tween @, of Cambridge, commanded by
Lieut.. J. Howard Hurst, and d, of
Belair, Capt Milton X. Reckord.
The first three in the Fourth Regi-
ment are: X, commanded by Lieut.
Charles E. Hummell; M, Capt Sam
uel W. Filbert. and Z. Capt. Albert
). Gill The first three in the Fifth
are NJ. Capt. Ridgely Gather; +,
Capt. Washington Bowie, and /, Capt.
n. Lee Goldsborough. The relative
standing of the first six organizations
of the whole brigade is as follows
First-Company M, Fifth Regiment,
Capt. Ridgely Gather. Second
Company b, First Regiment, Capt.
George l.. Fisher. Third-Company
+, Fifth Regiment, Capt. Washington
Bowie. Fourth-Oompany /. Fourth
Regiment, Lieut.. Charles f. Hum
NELL Fifth-Signal Corps, command
ed by Lieut. s. B. Austin. Sixth
Troop A, cavalry, commanded by
Lieut. O. L. Rogers, Jr.
The result of the inspection of the
Naval Brigade by Col. Edmund l..
Woodside shows the most efficient di-
vision to be the fourth, commanded by
Lieut.. E. G. Willard. The next in
point of efficiency is the second divi-
ison. commanded by Lieut.. William
e. Puts.

Slight Fire at Academy

A slight fire broke out at the Naval
Academy last evening shortly after 6
O'Clock in the house next door to the
residence of Captain Willard II.
Brownson, superintendent of the Acad-
envy. The house, 81 Upshur Row, is
occupied by Lieutenant w. H. g. Bull
lard, u. S. N. The blaze was discoy-
cred as the brigade of midshipmen
were forming for supper. No alarm
was sounded. but the word was pass
ed at main quarters and the brigade
fire department turned out. The gates
were ordered closed. no one inside the
yard being allowed to come out and
all outside being excluded. Before the
middies arrived on the scene the flames
had been extiDguished by Private of
Marines Wolf, who was on duty as
orderly in front of Captain Brownson' s
residence at the time. BY his quick
work the marine prevented serious
damage.
