Reformation of the Commission.


The advocacy By President Taft Of
the creation OF a new and exclusive
court to consider appeals from the
rulings Of the Interstate Commerce
commission and to relieve the federal
courts Of this work in the same man
ner that the new customs court is to
relieve 1t from litigation growing out
Of the tariff law, foreshadows a
readjustment and reformation Of the
Interstate Commerce commission. The
president would have the commission
charged with many new and important
duties by enlarging its jurisdic-
ton and empowering It to revise
freight classihcations, to institute COM
plants OF its own motions in rate mat
ters, and to enforce more prompt COM
pliance with It's orders.
The difficulty which ~confronts any
plan to enlarge the powers Of the In
terstste Commerce commission, and to
add to its work, is, hat the commits
sion as now constituted and with its
hANN~Ae bS"NAn ehA hANAObt - buAAH0Al
Inadequate to the demands upon It
which have grown so fast, and become
80 complicated. hat no such single
body can fulfill its purpose satisfac-
torily. The expanse Of territory within
the confines Of the United States is too
wide. our industries too enormous, our
railroad mileage too colossal, our
problems too varied, the distance too
great and the time too short to have
one Interstate Commerce commission
take up all the railroad problems that
may arise and grant relief for all the
grievances and complaints growing
out of railway transportation.
What is needed, The Bee believes
and has already urged. is a division of
the country into districts for purposes
Of railway supervision and regulation
corresponding more or less to the
trafflc divisions along which the rail-
roads have themselves organized
tranic associations and the recasting
Of the Interstate Commerce commits
sion so that there shall be a sub
commission for each district to investi-
gate and pass on local matters, subject
to review Of the Interstate Commerce
commission or appeal to the Interstate
Commerce court, somewhat in the
fashion Of the federal circuit and SUI
preme courts. Just now with the best
of intentions and steadfast industry,
the Interstate Commerce commission
cannot possibly give prompt hearing
and decision on most important con-
troversies, and in the majority OF
cases, delay is the same as denial Of
justice, because tardy damages cannot
make up for lost business.
A body with the authority Of the
Interstate Commerce commission with
In easy reach and ready to transact
business with dispatch in each trafae
division would make effective the va
rious rate regulations and Interstate
Commerce commission laws as they
were intended to operate. Uniformity
Of rulings would be secured by review
and appeal, and undue delay, whose
certainty now prevents people from as
sorting their rights. would become the
exception instead Of the rule.

Cubical Cantaloupes.

G. e. Parrish on North Yakima,
Wash, marketed cantaloupes here
this week that are perfect cubes.
Parrish has been doing novel
things with fruit and vegetables for
several years, but says that his idea
of growing cantaloupes in the shape
of cubes is the most practical OF any
thing he has undertaken. He had
troughs made from heavy lumber and
these are partltioned to make an in
terror size of inches each way AS
soon as new cantaloupes are seen to
form on the vines each fruit Is
placed in one of the partitions in a
trough. The fruit continues to grow
and gradually assumes the shape oil
the cubical house in which it lives.
To prevent the top from becoming
round Parrish places a heavy top OF
the trough in time to avoid 1t.
AS soon as the cantaloupes have
filled up the cubic shape allotted to
them, they are taken out by remov'
ing the bottom of the trough and
packed away to ripen.
Parrish already has larger troughs
partitioued off, in which he Is grow
ing square watermelons, and all over
his apple, pear and peach trees ne
has hundreds of cubical shaped boxes
hanging, each filling with fruit

The phenomenon was one tnat

the tumult decreased, while, worn

A few hours later, when we
awoke, a deathly silence prevailed.
and on looking out, to my intense

rent of the previous night had been
transformed into a solid mass OF ice.

possessed was also frozen solid, in
Guiding our saddle of mutton, which

to England bids fair to be the last.
The Peninsular and Orient Steam

casses could be imported in refrig'

The carcasses sold we'll in the

meat. Some 5000 hogs were brought
over on trial shipment and placed
on sale at the shops for the first

ed hogs.
But the public prejudice, even in
