Golfers esti liable editor has genial dis
position but his economic vision is afflicted with
strabsmus. His .edy for railway tyranny is
simple and as impossible it is simple The
roads know now what is expected of them and the
interstate commerce commission has the power
to enlighten them from time to time as to the
reasonableness of certain rates. But the commits
sion has no power to enforce it's findings. How,
then can the government "see" that the railroads
charge reasonable rates? 1t is cay to ask the
government to "see that they perform it." but
there is glittering generally about this remedy
which shows how cheerfully illogical some of
the eastern editors can be when dealing with
economic subjects And yet Golfers editor con-
cedes that everything about railway, from rates
to comfort, sho lid be subject to the state How
would the editor make these things subject to
the state? He would have the government "see

carries the smiling features OF the Sage or

"Yours truly."-New York World.

Mr.. Depew's fitness to remain in the SEN

as his fitness to remain a member OF the Yale
corporation. 1t is to be noted in this connec-
ton that he has just been reelected for
full term of six years How that reelection
came about will be remembered. Odell had
taken up Ex-Governor Black for the success
sion, but for some reason not explained,
Odell suddenly threw Black over and allowed
Depew to take another term. 1t was supposed
that the Intervention of E. H. Harriman's
influence over Odell is one of the interesting
and unanswered questions of New York poll
tics and finance.

REGULATION OF RAILWAYS

In the east editorial writer's seem to be giving
the serious issues Of the day about as much
thought as they devoted to the silver question
in 1896. The bad breaks made in the first Bryan
campaign by these moulders Of public opinion
were delightfully."- absurd. AT present they are
trying their luck on railway regulation and they
are showing about as much sanity as a dog chas-
ing bird For example, Golfers editor says:
The movement for fixing rates actually
through commission, as contrasted with reg
ulating them, Las lost ground of late. The
president, respond :, to the public, has
slackened speed in the onslaught he was
making. We have never cared much to see
the rate-fxing power in absolute form in
small group of government appointees.
sign of the trend was given when the organ
of the locomotive engineers came out against
the scheme. railway is a thing peculiarly
requiring regulation. 1t ought to be mo-
nopoly, to avoid wasteful duplication, and yet
unless there is competition the roads will
treat the people like much dirt Compare
the rival services between Chicago and New
York with the performances of fat monopoly
like the Boston & Maine, which owns legisla-
lures and with impunityfsmaltreat the public
in every known way. But it is perfectly
simple to have monopoly and good service,
by government and state supervision Every
thing about railway ought to be subject to
the state, from rates to comfort, from equal
privileges to safety, but the correct demo-
cratic principle is to let the roads know what
is expected of them, and see tn t they per-
form it-not for the state to step in itself
and undertake the conduct of the railway
business.

WAR AND PEACE

he defiant action OF the zemstvos and the mil
airy situation are discussed:
That Endorsement undoubtedly represents
the fixed view of Car Nicholas. But SO many
things have happened since then that on
March 30, 1905, the czars official organ.
"Slovo" announced that the presidents of the
provincial zemostvo boards sho Id be sum-
moned to give their opinion on what might
be best, to save Russia from disaster. Of
course, the grand dukes, the police and the
reactionares of all ranks negatived this per-
mission, as far as they could. But the
zemstvo presidents have met relying on the
autocrats promise of immunity. AS stated
in the Post-Dispatch, the prefect Of police of
Moscow was present, with sufficient fosce
to put a stop to the deliberations. But he
does not seem to have dared to do So He
contended himself with taking the names of
all present and making a report Of the pro-
ceedingS for his masters. But who are the
masters? The government is evidently di-
vided against itself. In all its branches are
men who are tired of bureaucracy and who
are determined If possible, to put a stop to
its corruption and tyranny. Inc outcome of
this great representative meeting will be of
vital importance to Russia. 1t may mark the
beginning of the end of autocratic govern
ment.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

The state of affairs in L.anchuria is such
as to create the impression that Lineytch
and Oyama have an understand that there
is to be no serious fighting while the peace
negotiations are on. Reports come occasion
ally from st. Petersburg of the growing
strength of the Russian army and its desire
to take the offensive, bu. it makes no forward
move. General Oyama sends in no reports
of progress, and presumably he is simply
marking time and refraining from sacrificing
the lives of many of his men. It may be
that without any formal agreem mt there is
a practical armistice SO far as the Manchur-
ian armies are concerned. II would not be
surprising, however, to hear at any moment
of the Japanese activity in the heighborhood
of Vladivostok.-Chicago Tribune.

ment's "see" which hitherto of us has sus-
pected. Instead of having commission with
power to fix reasonable rate we should just
ask the government ito see to it, and that would
so frighten the railways that they you'd at once
consent to be reasonable. The government has
been trying the "see-toit' plan for a long time
and the railways still charge extortionate rates
and grant rebates to big shippers. Golfers edi-
tor has another guess.

vite reciprocity rather than retaliation, would
receive the associations endorsement should

mission such power the refrigerator car dis

the railway policy of placing greater value on

not destroy the lesson of the averted disaster
This accident was the third OF recent record
caused by the buckling of a freight train. In
the second of the three, which like the third
the Pennsylvania road twenty-five
passengers were killed. Now, freight train
buckles in a sudden stop because only the
cars equipped with air-brakes stop immediate

buckle. The argument would seem to be
complete, without further casualties, for COM
pelling railroad companies to put the air
brake all freight cars, as they do on all
passenger cars-New York World.

There has been a great advance recently
in public opinion. For instance among the
people, the demand for a radical revision of
the tariff schedules is almost universal. But
the old time conservative bosses and captains
of industry oppose it and progress seems
almost impossible. Elected by an accident,

some purposes and as private corporations fol
other purposes, is denounced by the Chicago
A decision just rendered by the interstate
commerce commission in a case involving
the reasonableness of certain charges for
transportation and refrigeration of fruit from
Michigan points lays down a doctrine which
whether sound or unSound in law, is cer
tainly in harmony with the trend OF public
sentiment. The commission holds that rail-
roads which hold themselves out as common
carriers OF perishabe fruit must provide the
necessary refrigerator cars for that traffic;
that carriers of commodities that can only
move under refrigeration are bound to fur
nish such refrigeration, and the icing be-
comes not a mere incident but part of the
service ITSELF that the refrigerator cars, no
matter how obtained, are during the trans
pOrtation to be treated as the cars of the
carrier using it, and that the charge for re-
frigeration stands exactly like any other
charge for transportation and is governed by
the same statutory provisions as to reason
abeness, publicity, etc. That is, refrigera-
tion charges must be published observed and
changed precisely as other charges are, the
commission having full jurisdiction over
them. In the same decision the commission
finds that certain charge for refrigeration
based upon the cost cs the ice used, would be
reasonable 1t does not, however, order that
charge to go into effect, for the reason that
it is without authority to prescribe rates for
the future In other words we have again
decision without an order, an argument
without a ruling. The defendant roads may
or may not adopt the rate declared to be
reasonable by the commission just as they
may or may not admire the logic of the COM
mission in reaching the conclusion that
common carrier does not cease to be a COM
mon carrier when he moves perishable fruit
in refrigerator cars.
