Those Who Know.

The anxiety felt by many for the
safety of the peach and pear crops dur

be made clear by longer experience;
but it is commonly accepted that
lower rates win mean permanent and
significant increase in the amount
of travelling. Missouri's law is to
have six months trial under a
most remarkable order of the Fed
eral court, TO ascertain what effect
il will have on revenues, etc; and
already comes the assurance that
the people are all taking trips, pos
sibly because they want to, possibly
because they are anxious TO disprove
the railroad contention that such a
rate viii injuriously affect revenue.
In connection with the proposal
to shut off excursion rate privileges,
it is pointed out by Western papers
that the subtle will demand first
class facilities when it pays full
rates. 1t has been possible for the
roads to provide almost any sort of
cars and service to excursions; but
the people who are charged full
first-class rates will insist on corre-
spending service, and already they
are taking steps in many commune
ties TO get it.

An International Theater Trust.

The Theater trust is going to be-
come an international octopus, &C
cording to the latest report The
new combination is to control the
best theaters in both this country
and Europe, and TO contract and
manage the best stage talent 1t is
to have 500, 100000 capital and, &C
cording to the best information, it
is based on a recent decision that
theaters and amusements are not
trade or commerce, and therefore
the laws against restraint of trade
or commerce would not apply to a
combination of this sort.
If the amusement trust gets away
with this theory of the law, there
would seem to be only one thing
for the public to do. That is, to or
ganize an opposition trust for the
purpose of controlling the entire
visible supply of ancient hen fruit
and decadent vegetables.

Mr.. Cockran'S Plan.

The Hon. w. Bourke Cochran has
told President Roosevelt his plan
for tanning the octopi, and has also
laid it before the public through a
speech at Tammary Hall last even
ing. Mr.. Cochran proposes that:
The Federal Government have rep
resentation on the directory of each
corporation doing interstate COM
merce;
The State government be likewise
represented on, the board of each
corporation doing business within a
State;
The employees of each franchised
corporation be represented by one
of their own number sitting on the
board, as guardians of the wage
fund and of general labor in
terests.
Mr.. Cochran thinks this plan
would promote real publicity, and
keep il continuous rather than occa-
sional and sporadic. 1t is Just posi-
bic that present experiments in this
direction ought TO be given rather
more thorough trial before esten-
sion of the scheme is undertaken.
But there can be no effective obiec-
ton to some aspects of Mr.. Cock
rams proposal.
Thus we believe fully that when
the public contributes a franchise of
immense value, and in its nature
monoPolistic, TO a public service cor
poration in a city, the municipality
ought to be represented on the
board of directors of the corpora
ton. The present-day conception OF
the function of a pubhc-service cor
operation is vastly different from
that even of a decade OF two ago
The public service corporation pro-
lduces that which means life to the
municipality II produces some
thing vastly less important to its
lstockholders-profits. The public's
concern about it is fully as large
as that of the stockholders, and the
public should be given a voice in its
management.
1t is, indeed, matter of wonder
ment that in this country the State.
have been so slow about recognizing
this proper solution of the problem
of relations of the city to its fran
chised corporations. Mr.. Coclrant
proposal is a look in the right di
rection; but it may be doubted
whether he proposes to go so far al
public interest requires.

The Rates or the Service.

able feeling is developing against
the railroad policy. The railroads
are accused of being animated in the
matter by spite, and the desire to
make the new laws unpopular.
The working of these new laws
however, gives promise of some un,
expected results. From every State
comes report that Immediately upon
the taking effect of the reduced
rates the local travel shows a large
increase. This was the experience
of Nebraska and Kansas, and now
comes Illinois with a similar record

AORGANS IN SMELLING.
BOSTON REPORT STATES

EEW YORK July IA telegram
from Boston states that ]. P. Morgan
& Co. now have a substantial interest
in the American Smelling and Refining
Company, amounting. it is said, 10 100 :
600 shares. The Morgan firm. according
to report. paid 800 a share for the stock
which is considerably under the market
price. The stock, it is said. was con-
tributed by two of the seven Guggen-
helm brothers, who find themselves in
panicky market with too large a load
TO carry comfortably. One Of the
brothers contributed $1,000 shares and
another 5000 shares. the report stated.
At the office of the American Smelt-
ing and Refining Company the story
was denied IN the most emphatic terms.
although it was said by one of the
officers of the company that It was too
absurd to be dignified with a denial.
The Morgan firm and the Guggen-
heimers have been in close affiliation
for some time in Alaska railroad and
mining development.
1t is said, in a semi-official way. that
the company actually is earning at the
rate of about 20 per cent on stock, but
depreciation charges are heavy After
year the company will have to meet a
depreciation charge of 100000 on an
abandoned plant in California. which is
now said tc be absolutely worthless.

The Conduit Road Jurisdiction.

Mr.. Edmund B. Briggs contributes
to The Times some observations
anent the Conduit road and the
question of it's jurisdiction that Will
hardly fail of interested and appre-
ciative reading by Mayor Garrett
and the authorities of the State of
Maryland, and of interested, if not
altogether appreciative, Perusal by
the Attorney General of these
United States.
Mr.. Briggs has taken the trouble
to look up the law in the case, and
he not only decides against the At
torney General, but writes down his
impressions of the matter in style
of English that leaves little TO be
conjectured as to his opinion of the
Governments attitude.
Mr.. Briggs quotes thus the Mary
land law ceding the land on which
the Conduit road was built:
II the plan for supplying the
CITY OF Washington with water should
require said water 10 be drawn from any
source within the limits of this state
consent is hereby given to the United
States to purchase such lands, and t
construct such reservoirs, dams, build
ings and other works. and TO exercise
,>oncurrently with the State Of Mary
land such jurisdiction over the same a:
may be necessary for the said purpose.
For the said purpose" seems tc
limit the jurisdiction of the Gov
eminent to matters involving tn,
water supply of the city; and ever
as to those purposes the jurisdic
ton is concurrent with that of the
State of Maryland.
Just wherein the water supply Of
the city of Washington is involved
in the speed limit of autos is moi
very apparent. 1t is not impossible,
to conceive a situation in which ths
Government might conclude that il
was all wrong to use the conduit al
a highway; but so long as it is USED
for highway purposes, the speed Of
vehicles can hardly be maintained
20 affect the water supply. It would
be interesting, at least, to know a
what particular rate touring cars
should be operated in order TO pro
duce, in the mind of the ATTORNEY
General, the most desirable effect OF
the water. Perhaps he has a theory
that the dissemination of gasoien,
perfume along the Conduit road
from vehicles travelling at a higl
speed would tend to suppression o
the typhoid germs.
Mr.. Briggs should not overlool
the possibilities of this line of argu
ment.

NEW YORK. July 17.-Mrs. Isaac II.
