Non-Partisan Commission.

As TO the next step in all Industrial
and commercial relations. justice and
equality of opportunity for all. with full
sympathy and loyal support for every eff
fort to enforce the laws in the past. we
urge upon congress without delay to pass
legislation providing for a nOn-partisan
commission. in which the interests of
capital, of labor and of the general pub
lie shall be represented. This commits
sion, like a similar commission which
proved most successful in Germany in
1870, shall consider the entire subject of
business and industrial combinations and
report such proposals as to the forma-
ton, capitalization, management and reg
ulation of corporations $50 far as the
same may be the subject of investigation
as shall preserve individual initiative
competition and the free exercise of a
free contract in all business and indus

should also include notifications of the
prohibition now existing upon combina-
lions on the following subjects:

member of the Vienna Singing So
ciety which recently visited this coun
try in the course of a published ac-
count of his American experiences
says: "In one of the New York sky
scrapers | met man who was born
in Austria. and although he has been
in America, boy and man, for thirty
years. he still spoke German with the
unmistakable Austrian accent. His
son, who was in business with him,
was positively ignorant as to the
German language, and was in
formed that he was not an exception
but one of large class in the Ameri-
can metropolis. But in Milwaukee
met another man who balanced the
account. He was the on of Ameri
can born parent who spoke German
fiuently, knew German music, on the
subject of which he was very enthusi-
astic, and drank beer as though he
had acquired the taste in our own
country. We were neighbors at en- i'm
promptu beer session, and the way in
which he raised his glass and said
'Prosit!' and his appreciation of Ger
man jokes made it difficult to believe
that he had never been on this side of
the Atlantic"

Is your wife an athletic womans If
so perhaps you had better wait until
after your second marriage to beat
her. You know there is nothing like
being on the safe side. We have
known men to start things they
couldn't finish. When a husband
has made up his mind to fog his
wife the chances are she has conclud-
ed to beat his face and unless the
male division of the household is
pretty cute it will be subjected to
sudden and C rtain humiliation. For
the little practice she gets we believe
that woman has a better knowledge
of self.defense than any pug in ring
dom. So, unless your wife is frail
and sickly, we would advise that you
treat her with the utmost care and
respect.

The Public Land Convention can
hardly be said to voice the sentiment
Of the west. The small man, the
homesteader and the small ranchman
was conspicuous by his absence, as
he always is in such large gather
ings. But the speeches made there
and the actions taken will serve to
throw light on the situation and help
to settle the question. The Sun is
not yet ready to endorse the Presid-
ent's idea of leasing the range. The
time has not yet come for that-nor
do we believe it will ever come. All
of the other western states have been
settled up without it and we see no
reason why the system should be
adopted now. The Sun is thorough
ly in accord with the forest reserve
policy of the administration and be-
lieves it for the hest that the govern
ment should control the forests. but
the forests only. Let all untimbered
lands be eliminated from every re-
serve and let it be as easy to home
stead land inside of a reserve as it is
without their boundaries.
