the hands Of the federal government. We are
less apprehensive of disaster than Mr.. Stick
ney is for we believe this present movement
will wear itself out long before such serious
damage is done: but we do wish TO call atten-
ton 10 the fact that the present irrational be-
havior of certain state legislatures will hamper
and harass the proper and legitimate develop
ment not merely of their own states but or
the country at large.
We say we believe the movement will wear
itself out, for we do not think the excitement
of state legislatures reflects the settled attitude
of the public mind. There is public demand
for a proper and reasonable regulation of pub
lie service corporations, and the legislators are
making frantic efforts to "set themselves right
before the people" The result is two-cent fare
laws passing with a unanimlty that bespeaks
a legislative panic; reciprocal demurrage laws,
maximum freight rate laws schedule laws.
somewhat after the fashion of the Texas rule,
and like frantic legislation. all proving that
legislators have not the practical knowledge
TO deal with the complicated questions Of
railrOading or the courage to take the rea-
sonable view OF q question if they have
grounds for fearing that it may not be the
popular view No doubt excellent laws have
been made in this scramble Of reguIatiVe legls-
latiOn, but their proportion has not been suf-
fciently great to justify the conclusion that
state legislatures may be expected to deal
wisely Offhand with industrial problems. We
may look for fairer results from state commits
sions like the projected Public Service Commits
sion in this state, patterned after the Federal
Interstate Commerce Commission. They are
not elective bodies to be stampeded into a
panic over imaginary public opinion; indeed,
their appOintive nature. thei; expert qualifca-
tions and their deliberative character should
save them from radical eXtravagances.
1t is time to end this panic over public opin-
ion, both on the part Of the railroad presidents
and on the part of the legislators. Everybody,
railroad men included, is agreed that there
should be proper regulation Of railroads. The
people are ready TO listen TO reason about what
a proper regulation IS. The legislators have
already given such a demonstration OF their
responsiveness to the people that 1t should be
q generation before any one accuses them OF
being susceptible 10 the subtle influences of the
corporations. They lean over backward In
their erect If somewhat startled, virtue End
the panic over public opinion. and let us have
a little common sense all around!

accounts for Tuesdays explosion, but the posi-
biIity of another explanation should not be en-
tirely ignored
Curously enough, though the loss OF life at
Toulon was considerably less than that at
Sasebo, the damage to the French battleship
seems to have been greater than that inflicted
on the Mlkasa. Togos flagship has been lifted
out Of the shallow water in which she sank and
has been restored to usefulness, whereas 1t is
deemed doubtful whether the lena can ever be
repaired In some measure, perhaps the dis
crepancy may be due to the fact that, as a big
hole was opened in the Mikasa's side she went
quickly to the bottom. Her sudden submergence
may have limited the injury to her hull. while
her death roll was largely increased by the
drowning of many Of her men who had not been
seriously hurt. The lena was out of water in
a drydock at the time of the explosiOn-or,
rather the series of eXplOsiOnS-which wrought
her destruction. Hence her officers and crew
suffered directly, not indirectly, from them.
Since the contents of the magazine were not
ignited all at once, the ship continued to bonn
bard herself for at least half an hour, and the
only wonder is that there anything left of
her when the flooding of the dock put an end
to the trouble. Moreover, it is not at all I'M
likely that the quantity of ammunition which
the Mikasa carried in September, 1905, after the
treaty Of Portsmouth was signed. was very much
less than that on board the lena at the begin
ming of the current week

CROWD PSYCHOLOGY

Everybody has noticed the peculiar behavior
of crowds. During the last decade several
scientists have studied the psychology Of men
massed together. and numerous characteristics
have been observed. We find, for instance
that all emotions are intensified by the mere
presence of large number of fellow citizens
Sober thinking becomes almost impossible after
ones neighbors have given way to their feel
ings Mirth, joy and fear are highly infectious
and' when induced by crowd action, often
groundless and violent. Men say and do things

Washington. March 1S.-After fifteen years Of ez-

Statue Commission has formally rejected the model
made by J. O. A Ward. the New York sculptor
for the equestrian statue OF General Philip T.
Sheridan. and has cancelled the contract made
with him IN April 1902. when he undertook to de-
sign and make suitable statue for $4,000
AT that time 3IF Ward regarded as an artist
OF distinction. fully competent for the work he
had designed the statues OF President Garfield and
General Thomas two OF the most notable already
erected IN Washington. and he promised that ais
Sheridan should be the greatest work OF his hfa
He was directed 20 proceed with the work, and

cause or another he has not been able 70 produce
