now well known that when that con

genuine panic if the country had been
permitted TO know how ill-prepared We
were for Gsii. Not only Is there
now an ample supply of weapons for
any force which 1t Is conceivable the
country may need TO call INTO action,
but these weapons are all of better
type than those used during the Span

used. and it did good service. The new

LATEST FROM THE INTER
STATE COMMISSION.

The most fundamentally important
decision the Interstate Commerce Com
mission has ever rendered is that in the
Spokane rate case, Just handed down.
1t Is supremely important because in it
the commission assumes authority to
say that the earnings of certain rail
roads are too large, and that they
ought TO be reduced. in the interest of
the public which contributes them.
The commiesi findings as TO rela-
tions of rates, and even its order for
sweeping reductions which viii lop off
q vast sum in earnings, are unimpor-
tsnt compared to this decision that the
commission IS competent to decide
what is a reasonable and proper aggre-
gate for a railroad to earn. OF course,
the power 10 fix rates necessarily in
wolves the power to determine what
revenues shall be earned. But il is
none the less long step toward real
regulation when the commission after
a broad inquiry announces that a great
railroad system Is earning too much,
and issues an order frankly intended
TO lop off some of the profits.
In the present case. the railroads
were in peculiarly indefensible posi-
ton The Great Northern and North
err Pacific have been highly profitable
properties for many years. They have
cut huge melons. have carved and dis
tributed their aggregations Of accrued
profits by issuing ore certificates and
capital shares and the like to their
stockholders. The commission does not
assume to criticise these operations; it
merely mentions them, and proceeds to
find that the roads have been earning
too much money.
This case, then, undertakes to restore
what the commission believes viii be a
more equitable division between the
public and the roads. 1t pares off some
of the excess of profit from the stock
holders, and gives it to the public in
the form of reduced rates.
The case Is important in its estab-
fishing of a new relationship OF rates
through the trans-Missouri West; but
il Is vastly more significant in this
declaration of purpose to test the gen
eral reasonableness OF rates by study
of the physical values, profits, capital
izstiDD. financial history. etc. OF rail
roads.

ROBERT EMMET-A MEMORY
AND AN INSPIRATION.

BY their cOmmemOratiOn this week
of Robert Emmet's heroic life and
tragic death, men and women of Irish
birth in all parts of the English
speaking world will be honOring quail
tiles that have made the race mcon-
quered and unconauerabIe.
Though Irishmen are divided as to
the methods that should be taken in
opposition to English abuses in the
rule of the unhappy island, no differ
euce exists in the deep-set and undying
character OF that opposition. 1t Is born
of neglect, misunderstanding. and OPP
preston. 1t Is kept alive by the inev-
liable clashes OF neighboring and hos
tile races.
In the memory of Emmett Erin has
tradition that is one of the most
inspiring a nation may have. Sublime
self sacrifice was united in him with
gentleness, rare perfection of body and
mind and a high and deathless cour-
age.
No more eloquent testimonial to pa
1rIOtism exists than the uncut stone

EQUIPMENT FOR AN ARMY OF

That the United States Government
could arm 10000 soldiers, if they
should be called into the field, with the
stock OF modern rifles it now has on
hand, Is the gratifying information
which the army officers have given TO
the Congressional committees. 4 few
years ago the problem Of arming a
great force would have been well nigh
insoluble- The country couldn't have
secured the guns fer love nor money
simply because they weren't in the

were set at work turning out a great
stock OF them, and the result is the
