Necessary Means Of Making ReEuIa-
ton Effective.
Rnstnn Herald

Boston Herald.
1t may be stated, not simply as a predic-
ton, but with a degree of authority, hat
one step in the Reorganization of the gov
eminent forces in control of Interstate com
merce will be the establishment OF a rail-
road rate court for the adjudication Of
causes arising out OF rate and traffic
disputes. Such a tribunal would be formed
on lines similar to those Of the tariff court
created at the last session Of congress.
Appeal to the supreme court could not be
denied, but by the specialization of busi-
ness decision in railroad cases would be
expedited, and It is reasonable to suppose
that a body of railroad law might be
created which would render appeals to the
supreme court ~infrequent and unnecessary.
Organization of such a court would leave
to the Interstate Commerce commission, or
its Observation-Disclosures title II might bear
the duties Of administration and investi-
cation. 1t might properly be the agent of
the people In the prosecution Of alleged
violation of the law, and the separation
of the offices Of prosecutor and Judge
would be desirable. The consensus Of
opinion among railroad managers is in
favor of the creation of such a court. Their
attitude does not involve criticism of the
present personnel of the Interstate Com
merce commission, but is rather a criti-
cism Of a system which now places on the
commission an impossible task. Under the
existing system no important issue is de-
cided by the Interstate Commerce COM
mission without subsequent appeal to the
courts, and it is argued that by removing
the judicial power from the commission
and placing 1t in the HANDS of a railroad
court the process of adjudication might be
gimnIffiad to the ADVANTAGE of tba rail-
roads and of shippers as well. The COM
mission at present is overworked. Its in
Quisitoraial and administrative duties are
sufficient to occupy all the time of its
organization. If federal regulation of inter-
state commerce is to be contlnued-which
is not a matter of argument-it must be
made effective. And in order TO be eff.
fective there must be radical reorganization
of its processes, which heretofore have
largely been experimental and which nave
demonstrated many serious defects.

1t does seem as though the proposed
memorial to former P. esident Cleve-
land ought to be erected at some point
more accessible to the public than
Princeton. Princeton is a very charm
ing place, and those who have occasion
to visit it will naturally give a rever-
entail thought in passing to the old
Cleveland home, which ought to be
sufficient memorial there. The public
monument to be erected deserves a
foundation in the main channel OF
travel, whereas Princeton is a byway

ten-milliosth of a second. The most
movement of nature or the swift
est artitlce of man can thus be recorded
for the purpose Of close scientific study.
Prof. Kranz's mechanism works so
speedily that, allowing for the working
Of shutter and the shifting Of film,
5000 separate and distinct pictures of
a moving object can be taken in a
second. This compares with an
average of fifty per second in the ordi-
nary moving picture outfit.
This miraculOusly delicate instru-
ment is bound to be Of great service in
the prosecution Of scientific study of
natural phenomena. The observer in
tent on a surgical operation or a mill
tary problem now may have an in
valuable aid to dissect the mysteries
hitherto hidden. The swiftest moving
phenomenon known may be put on
record, whether It be the soaring of
an insect whose wings vibrate invisi-
bly,, the whirl of a wheel, the fight Of
a bullet or the destruction Of a target
by projectile or of matter by explosive.
The f~leetest of moving objects will be

that have been too deep for military
men, for surgeons and experts in other
fields are brought within the possibility

The long Journey undertaken by Presi.
cent Diaz to the northern border FOR the
purpose Of meeting President TAFT has had
some results which cannot but he consid-
cred highly beneficial because promotiye
OF a patriotic and national spirit among
the great crowds who turned out to greet
the chief executive. These thronys have
shown respect, mingled with a sincere
cordiality, to the famous statesman whose
personality was TO them unfamiliar. but
whose achievements in The administrative
field ate known to all Mexicans. The
spontaneous manifestations Of good will
with which the presence Of the head OF the
nation was hailed mist have been most
gratifying to General Diaz, and he will
return to the federal capital assured o.
the loyalty Of the plain people OF the>
rorth.
President Tafts long Journey through
many states Of the American union has
been attended by similar demonstrations
OF respect and good will. lie was so much
impressed with the welcome given him nv
his fellow citizens that in a speech deliy-
cred In North Yakima, state of washing
ton, he expressed his conviction that the
citizens Of the great republic had at last
achieved a common A-mericanism-a ma
tiOnal citizenship free OF the provincial
pretuoices and misunderstandings of soc
tionalism and political antagonisms.
May we not attribute, in part. this rise
Of a genuinely national sentiment I'm the
United States to the wide circulation of
goOd newspapers, mostly OF an independ-
cnt character, and printing all the news
without concealments or tamperings? The
powerful Influence of such a press cannot
be easily exaggerated. 1t is inevitable that
good newspapers, giving the news Of the
nation and the world at large. should do
much to batter down the walls of provinc-
ialism.
Then we must take into account modern
facilities for travel which enable the aver.
age man to journey over his own country
and so become interested, by personal OBJ
servation, In distant regions. This OBJ
servation might also be made of the Mexl-
can people who are travelling vastly more
than was the case before the building OF
the runk line railways. They do not as
yet travel as frequently, for study and
comparison, as do Americans In their own
country, but they are journeying more
and more as the years go by. They come
in greater numbers than they did ten years
ago to visit the national capital, and this
aids the growth of the nationl spirit.
1t Is good for presidents and the y pie
to go about and see things; it is an edu-
cative process and makes for q wider
patriotism.

Except that he runs on a track that's clear,
While / drove the overland coach and six
A coach and six across that plain
IA now flies past in the window pane.
This chap has a throttle in his hand,
And there's never a ticklish turn to steer;
/ held the ribbons, understand,
And a shotgun always rested near;
No headlights cleaned on the faint, rouath
trail
When I was the one who carried mail.
The engineer sits as warm as toast,
AS he perches high on his iron boss,
And many's the time I've looked the ghost
When the norther swept the plains
across
That endless, p~itiless. frozen plain
That whizzes past through the window

Governor ShRllenberger's irste protest
against the federal court decision annul
ing the Nebraska guaranty bank deposit
law does not alter the legal situation.
but it reveals the evaporation of Mr..
Bryan followers. The state courts, IN

thing having Mr.. Bryau's name associ-
ated with It Is prejudiced by that fact
alone, in the federal judiciary. There is
still a chance, however, that this feeling
will be modified, for the United States

tivate a serenity OF spirit and abundant

Two judges of the federal court in Ne
braska have declared the deposit guar
anty law of the state unconstitutional
because it deprives citizens of property,
without due process of law, by forcing
banking corporations to contribute to
an indemnity fund for losses for which
they are in no way responsible. Between
the judicial Interpretation Of constitu-
tional law and the actual experience Of
bankers with the working of the scheme,
the popularity of the deposit guarantee
is doomed to wane. The sort of bank
guarantee which is needed is that regula-
ton and supervision which prevents
losses, not simply a pool which provides
an Indemnity for losses.

Banking Experiments.

At all events, the subject deposit guar
anty) is an experiment, and anything that
viii bring in a decision from our highest
court will be helpful. We are not to
forget also that the whole bank question
In this country is up for discussion. Some
reform is recognized as essential, but about
what 1t shall be there is already great dis
pute. 1t seems likely, or at least we may
hope, that whatever may come we shall
have the government put out of the bank
ing busines and the system OF a forced
loan by fiat treasury notes abandoned,
That indtself would be a great victory. But
the principle Of guaranty of deposits is by
no means settled. There is a growing feel
ing that the general deposits of the small
should be as secure as those of the
government or some great special interest.
Perhaps the guaranty decision may syn
chronize with the adoption of a new bank
ing system. In both directions we see signs
OF progress. 1t can not be possible for
ever to keep a great nation Ike ours under
so crude and unsatisfactory a currency
system as that which has long prevailed.
Some day we shall attain TO at least o
nearer approach to a scientific system Of
banking and currency that will make our
notes the equal in credit of any in the
world.
