The Difference
service

Because a great deal is being
said on the subject of the union
Of the Baptist and the Campbell
lite or Christian churches the
people are anxious to hear the
real differences discussed in a
fair and impartial manner.
Doubtless Rev. j. p. Brooks,
pastor of the Baptist church here,
is as familiar with the doctrines
of both churches as any man in
the state of Oklahoma, and is
wholly impartial in his views and
discourses. Mr.. Brooks an.
nounces that he will discuss this
question at the morning service
next Sunday, at the Baptist
church. and all those who desire
to hear this question discussed
should attend this service.

PretzeIs for Children.

1t is now said that pretzels are as
good as stale bread for small children
Fresh bread should never be allowed
them.
The dryness and saltiness of the
pretzel are supposed to be its CHIEF
good. The latter is needed by child's
constitution, is purifying and is a
tonic.

that there is no effective way Of pros

they cannot be asked questions about
their conduct, there is small chance Of
getting at the fact. In the recent Har-

Of these was the New York Central

that the commission could not insist on

Immediately after the holiday recess
OF Congress there will be introduced IN
both houses an identical bill designed
10 give the Feo,ral authorities the
power TO Investigate the affairs of inter
state corporations. 1t will be designed
TO overcome the present decision of the
Supreme Court In the Hartman case.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
asked Mr. Hartman a series of ques.
tions which he and his counsel found
embarrassing. They declined to answer,
and OF their refusal appeal was taken
20 the Supreme Court That tribunal
decided that Mr.. Hartman need not
answer
The significance Of this decision has
been much mooted. But d member Of
the Interstate Commission may be
quoted as authority for the statement
that il this decision shall stand, the
commission is shorn Of practically all
its powers to inquire into the very
questions that are made subject TO its
Jurisdiction.
Peculiar Situation.
IN this matter OF the Federal power
Of investigation. a peculiar situation is
presented. The Department OF Com
merce and Labor is vested with the
power 10 inquire into the business and
concerns OF corporations which do an
interstate business, aside from trans
pOTtatiOu. That IS. this department
through the Bureau Of Corporations,
may look into the trusts in general. as

tion. business methods, etc. AT the
same time it has been assumed that uIt-
der The interstate commerce law the In
terstate Commerce Commission had the
power to investigate the railroads; 20

among them. their capitalization. ami

But the decision in the Hartman case
changes all this Il decided that thu
commission has no power TO make In
quiry as 10 these matters. Thus the
railroads are left class by themselves,
above and beyond the purview Of the
Governments agents. Nobody. appar-
