The criticism of City Engineer
Washington in local paper was very
unjust. This popular official is one
of the hardest workers in the city,
but he has more work than he and
his force can do, and to this fact
alone is due the delay in plans and
specifications for city improvements.
The city will never be called upon to
"get a sharp stick" after the engin-
eer. The proper remedy is to pro-
vide him with enough assistance to
do the work required of him.

MEMORIAL DAY FROM A CELL.


While the living were decorating
the graves OF the dead in Kentucky
cemeteries yesterday a son of a fami-
ly of Kentucky soldiers watched the
sun set from a rude seat in a Ken
lucky prison cell. For five years,
longer than from Sumpter to Apo
mattox, this son of family of Ken
lucky soldiers has endured a living
death in Kentucky prisons, says the
Louisville Herald.
Condemned 10 death by a persecu-
cution dark and Dloody-worthy of
the Middle Ages-this son of a fam
lily of soldiers awaits a just verdict
from the people of his native and be-
loved state.
Day by day, for five long years, he
has fought the fight for vindication
of character as patiently and valiant
ly as the soldiers fought in the
trenches bloodless battle, which
has found its pain and its pleasure in
the sorrows of the loved ones and
the comfort of loyal friends.
Surely the world owed a thought
yesterday to Caleb Powers. His pa
ternal grandfather died in the cause
of Union; his maternal grandfather
fought for a united country; his
mother was widowed by the war; rel
atives by the score suffered the trials
of the patriot; while he, risen to en-
inence within his state, is in prison
because Of the perjury and injustice
of the people OF the commonwealth
he so we'll loves.

provide an adequate remedy for the manifest
evils OF the present system they Will yield to
the logic of the executive argument
There are some wide differences of opinion
regarding the legal phases of the various pro-
posed forms of legislation. An effort has been
made to quote the opinion which the Attorney
General rendered to the Interstate Commerce
Committee on May this year, at the request OF
Its chairman, Senator Elkins. to establish the
unconsttutlonalfty of confiding to single body
police, judicial and legislative powers. Senator
Knox, on the other hand. has clearly set forth
the proposition that the power to fix a rate, just
or otherwise, cannot be confided to any branch
of the judiciary, but can properly be delegated
to an executive commission. The view of Sen
atOr Cullon, expressed above, that the detection
and prosecution of violations of the Interstate
Commerce Law may properly be conf1ded to a
bureau of the Department of Commerce and
Labor, while the commission confines its func-
before ii and to substituting just rate where
unjust rate is demanded, is likely to find
large number of supporters. %.~s*
Present indications are that the proposition
to confide to the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion the power to fix not only maximum but
q minimum rate as WELL viii be rejected. It is
body the power to fix a maximum rate, possibly
a specific rate in certain instances, but that 1t
will confer the power legally to establish O
minimum rate seems entirely unlikely.
There is every indication that this subject
will prove the most important with which the
coming session of Congress will deal, that 1t
will occupy the lions share Of the time of the
session and that the pendulum of Congress, per-
haps of public opinion, VIII swing back and

human brotherhood. He traced the development

said is equivalent to an acknowledgment, not that
we have a national religion, but that we are ma
