PRoUTY ON RATES.

Something of the opinion of the In
terstate commerce commission on the
question of railroad rate legislation
may be secured from the testimony of
Commissioner Prouty before the SEN
ate committee on interstate commerce
yesterday. Mr. Prouty states his
opinion as follows:
Rates should be made by the rail-
roads, but there should be some power
to revise the rate.
The present interstate commission
should be kept as an initiate body and
higher commission created with ap-
pellate powers to determine rates.
Such commission should have
power both to lower and to advance
rates, and to fix maximum and mini
mum rates.
Commissioner Prouty stated that en-
towering the commission to adjust in.
equalities and injustices between the
shippers and the railroad, did not
mean that the commission was to have
power to fix all interstate rates. In his
opinion the railway rates are lower
now than If they had been fixed by a
commission. Competition in railways,
he declared, had ceased or would cease
in a short time. Of the commission
had power to fix rates in order to make
differentials it must have, as he sug.
gested, power to both lower and ad.
vance rates. He believed that when a
rate is fixed by commission it should
take effect in thirty days.

LAST OF HIS LINE

The death of Hiram Cronk, which
occurred last Saturday, removed from
the realms of the living the last sur
vivor of that army which fought for
America in the second war with
Great Britain, the War of 1912. When
in 1869, Daniel F. Brakeman, the last
survivor of the American army that
fought in the War of the Revolution,
passed away, just eighty-nine years
had elapsed since the surrender Of
CORVALLIS at Yorktown. Hiram
Cronks death occurred ninety yes-s
after jackson and his army of back
woodsmen defeated General Paken-
ham and his veteran Britishers at
Chalmette. Should the last partici-
pant in the War of the Rebellion live
as long after the surrender of Apo
mattox as did Brakeman after York
town, he will be alive in 1862. If he
lives as long as did Cronk after the
close Of the war in which he was a
soldier, he will live until 1856.
The records of both Brakeman and
Cronk may be equalled by veterans of
the civil war, for in that four years
struggle there we're many times as
many men as took part in either of
the wars with England Both Bake
man and Cronk were paid much hon.
age during the last few years of their
lives. After Ralph Farnham died,
about the time the War of the Re
bellion began, Brakeman was recog-
nized as the only survivor of that con-
fiict. The stirring events of those
days took much Of the attention that

THE BAR AND THE STAGE,

Editors all over the country are
drawing morals from the Nan Patter-
son case, and the phase which appeals
to them most strongly depends largely
upon their geographical location. In
New York, for instance, the cost of
the fruitless trials seems to be upper
most in the minds of the writer's Of
editorials. The Rochester Democrat
and Chronicle seizes upon the Patter-
son case as an example of what it
calls "foresnic tomfoolery," and ex.
presses the hope that the Patterson
trial will be the starting point of
needed reform in the mode of conduct.
suppression of flub-dub oratory and
silly heroics on the part of counsel for
both prosecution and defense
'All this nonsense has been ban
ished from civil trials" says the
Rochester paper. "The capable and
experienced lawyer engaged in a trial
of civil action no longer resorts to
the methods of the cheap melodrama
while examining or cross-examining
witnesses, nor adopts the manner of
the political stump speaker in present
ing his case to the jury His pose now
is that level-headed business man
discussing a business proposition with
other level headed business men. The
younger lawyers naturally follow the
example Of their leaders The conse-
quence is that civil trials in this state
are now generally conducted in SEN
sible, business-like, dignified way.
But the silly old traditions still rule
the conduct of criminal trials of i'm
portance. Take the most sensible,
clear-neaded and cold-blooded lawyer
there is and give him charge of the
prosecution or defense of capital
case, and he Immediately feels 1t in
cumbent upon him to histrionize all
through the trial and flood the jury
with imitation eloquence. No matter
how bad an actor he may be, and he is
generally pretty bad, he feels as if he
weren't doing his duty by himself or
his case unless he uses, however,
clumsily the whole bag of tricks
old, stale, hackneyed and seen
through by everybody. The conse-
quence is that the administration of
criminal justice is made contemplate
and ridiculous and many case that
ought to be won is lost because the
jury SO resents the cheap trickery of
counsel that it cannot resist the temp.
