 from the dishonorable list are few indeed.
 They have known perfectly well that whenever a vacancy has occur red in any important. federal judi cial position, every avenue of approach to tha appointing power has been crowded with the repre-. sentatives of those great interests. seeking to secure the nomination of one known to be favorable to those interests or to oppose the nomina- tion of anyona thought to be inde- pendent of their influence or control and if unsuccessful have not infre- qnently caused unseemly. unjust and disgraceful attacks upon the nominee to be made in the executive sessions of the senate.
 When our personal interests and ambitions are affected, there is an element of moral cowardice in us all. The politicians who knew; also knew that public disclosure and opposition meant powerful and effective opposition to his further political aspirations; the represen- tative of industrial or other busi- ness interests knew the channels through which he could and would be financially rulned; the lawyer of standing knew that it would mean the death knell of any hope of rounding out his professional career in a digniiied and honorable position upon the federal bench. knew it would prevent the possibility of profitable professional connection with those interests and that any valuable client extensively engaged in industrial persuits. which made him dependent upon the railroads would be blacklisted for retaining him. When the railroads with the aid of venal and incompetent lcgis- lators. wrested billions of dollars in money and in lands from the nation, as well as when they de- manded and received that preroga- tive of sovereignty. the right of eminent domain. by reason of which they were enabled to condemn and take. upon reasonable compensation, private property for their own use independent of the will of the own CT, it was upon the admitted and avowed theory that they were public utilities. subject as such to such reasonable regulations and control as the government from which they received their franchises and powers might deem desirable, in the in- terest of the people to exercise.
 Among the universally conceded powers of the government is the right to limit the charges of common carriers to a reasonable return upon the capital invested, to establish and enforce such regula- tins as shall secure. prompt. effec- tive and safe service in the trans portation of persons and property, to prevent the formation of combi- nations between carriers for purpose of avoiding competition. of increas- ing their charges or in any way lessening their value and efficiency to the public. to prevent discrimi nation in either charges or prompt ness or efficiency in the transpor- tation of persons or property, either openly or secretly, by use of any device whatever. to require the adoption and use of any improved appliance for safeguarding the lives of passengers or employees, to re- quire reports at fixed intervals of all receipts and all disbursements, that the government be kept in-

 i've interest upon the face value of such stock.
 But the railroad magate says: you cannot compel us to reduce our charges because by doing so you will rob the widows and the orhhans whose money is invested in our stocks and bonds at purchase prices many times the cost of construction of the roads and on the faith of a continuance of existing conditions by reason of contiued non-inter- vention by the government.
 But the law is presumed to be known to everyone and when the Rockefellers, the Goulds. the Van derbilts. the Hills, the Harrimans and all the other widows and or phans acquired those stocks and bonds they mustDe presumed to haze known that it was not only within the power, but that it was the duty of the governmet to compel such a radical reduction in charge as would render those stocks and bonds worth in open market but a fraction of their face value. If they bought in the belief that the lawmaking power would forever fail to preform it's duty. they acted at their peril. There never has been and there never will be T statute or law of limitation under which a vested right can be secured for the com mission of robbery,

 We have seen industries and places built up or destroyed at their arbitrary will and always to the de- triment of the people at large.
 Yet the railroad magnates tell us if we seek to rectify any of the ills they inflict upon us we will precip- itate the most ruinous financial panic in history. that they will en- deavor by threats and bribery to prevent just laws for their regu- lation from being enacted is prob- able. but that they will or can pre- cipitate the conditions they threaten is highly improbable. but far better the worst they can do than the con- tinuance of the existing evils we suffer from them.

LIAR-CURING MACHINE.

There is something new under the
sun. Professor Hugo Munsterberg of
Harvard University has invented sever
al machines, the purpose of which is
to record the emotions and reveal the
secrets of the hnman mind. One scien-
fist calls them truth ma
Chimes" and another machines to cure
liars" 1t is, said that one of these ma
chimes was employed by Professor
Munsterberg in his recent test of Har-
nv Orchard, the chief witness for the
the prosecution in the Haywood trial.
This instrument is known as the auto
mautograph.
1t consists merely of a wooden sling
suspended from the ceiling upon which
rests the arm of the person being ex-
amined. A pencil is grasped lightly in
the fingers, the point of the pencil
Just reaching a smooth sheet of paper,
which records the involuntary writings
of the suspect. 1t has been learned that
the arm muscles and finger muscles
thus used constantly twitch under the
stress of any passing emotion. Tests
upon different persons have disclosed
the fact that the same general out
line is made by any person under the
stress of the same emotion.
Another instrument, more delicate in
construction, called the pneumograph,
records the normal breathing, and any
variation in gestion. The recording is
done electrically, and in another room
far removed from the suspect. The eff
feet of emotional stress upon the rate
of breathing is matter of common
knowledge. Still another device called
the sphygmagraph is attached to the
wrist and records the action of the
heart beats. 1t is said to be the surest
of all, as the heart is the most sensi-
tive and the least Influenced by the
will.

INSANITY AND POPULATION.

DIR. Carlos f. Macdonald, the well
known New York alientist, comment
inc on the recent statistics issued by
the lunacy commission of England
and Wales, said there was steady
numerical increase in insanity both
in the United Kingdom and in the
United States, but he did not believe
that this implied an increase in the
ratio of insanity to population.
The increase of the insane in Eng
land and Wales had been from 36,162
in 1859 to l23,9SS in 1907, or 237 per
cent, whereas the estimated increase
in population in the same period was
only seventy-seven per cent.
In spite of these figures DIR. Mac
donald calls attention to several new
factors in the problem, among which
are the widening conception of insanity
so that many cases now appear In
statistics which formerly were not
counted, and the increase confidence
in institutions for the insane, whereas
formerly relatives sought to conceal
the condition OF the insane persons.
He also asserts that there has been
an increase in the longevity of the
insane under modern methods, and says
that the statistics are padded by a
great many readmissions which appear
as new cases Speaking to the causes
of insanity, he attaches less impor-
lance to exciting causes and greater
importance .tojredisposing causes.
Only people with unstable mental
organizations are likely to succumb to
the ordinary exciting causes
grouped under the general heads, wine
women, worry and work. His obser-
walton among Englishmen has led to
the conclusion that the modern Briton
is anaemic rather than fullblooded.

sides where tracks and rolling stock
are in proper condition
where as efficient force of capable OPP
eratives is employed and where ade-
quate ''sidings" are provided for
freight trains, which now too often
obstruct the right of wayy there is no
more danger in swift transit than in
slow.
1t would seem certain an extention
of the federal governments wholly
reasonable insistence, so that it would
apply to all passenger trains in ev-
cry jurisdiction, would be valuable
not only in securing honester dealings
with the public but promoting all
accessories to safer operation OF
trains.

filming RAILROAD COMPANIES

1t strikes The Winona Independent
that one of the confessedly weak plac-
es in railway operation in America is
the prevalent lateness of trains. That
the failure of railway arrangements to
get their trains through on schedule
time is not confined to the west or
south is proved by the fact that both
the New York Central and the Penn
sylvania lines presumably the
'crack" railways of the country
were each assessed numerous fines in
the past year for failure to meet their
mail service time tables.
This admitted evil ought to be re-
medied and can be remedied and con-
sequently the federal statute of penal
ties is most serviceable feature of
railyay regulation. 1t can be record
ed as nothing else than deciet when
a common carrier holds out a speci-
fed time of service to it's patrons and
then almost habitually brings them
to their destination hours behind the
advertised time. While the eastern
railways are offenders. they are not
nearly SO bad an the average as the
roads of the west.
Now, there is nothing in this feder-
al punitive statute, nor in the public
demand which it expresses, that re-
qqires railway to operate its trains
either fast or slow; nor is there any
thing which would cause railway
official to infringe the safety of pas
sengers. The schedule may call for
any rate of speed, but whatever lit
sets forth should be the rule in oper-
alton rather than the exception, Be

NOMINAL SLUMP IN COPPER.
Copper Producers Declare Market Stable. in
Spite of Reduction

Sid prices on the New York Metal Exchange

producers. however. including the United Metals
Selling Company. Phelps. Dodge & co. and the Cal

confidence in the stability Of the copper marke:
saying that actual prices remained unchanged de-
spite successive declines announced from the
floor of the Metal Exchange.
Some of the producers declare that OF their
customers has been able 10 obtain copper al the
figure quoted by the exchanges. adding that most
of the important customers already have covered
their wants up TO July l. They say also that the
reduced bid price fictitious. since no sales
had been made at these rates Apparently none

the further slump in prices reported from the
exchange. they pointed this report adding
