WHAT THE DECISION MEANS.

New York World: Now that the federal
government has won the commodities
clause case, how much is the victory
worth?
Philadelphia Record: The supreme court
of the United States decides that the, So
called commodities clause of the Hepburn
law is entirely constitutional and perfectly
useless.
Boston Transcript: The decision OF the
supreme court OF the United States, sus-
tainlng the commodity clause OF the inter-
state commerce act, which had been over
ruled by the district court. shows the sus-
tained vitality of the Roosevelt policies.
II may also indicate that the supreme
court is not so conservative as It used
TO be.
Wall Street Journal; For all practical
purposes the anthracite carrying railroads
may be said TO emerge successfully from
the long litigation over the commodities
clause of the Hepburn law. Their direct
holdings Of anthracite and OF stock in cor
porations which mine hard coal have IN
questionably been acquired in times past In
good faith, and in this respect the railroad
companies are safely within the terms OF
the decision as read by Justice White.
Springfield CMass) Republican: Wall
street seems to take a very favorable view
Of the commodities clausS decision, even
though It is generally adverse to the con-
tention OF the coal roads, Some effort is
apparently to be put forth TO make Il the
occasion OF such an outburst of speculative
operations for the rise as will draw the
public back into the stock market 1t may
serve such a purpose. but the position OF
coal road or other stocks will hardly be
said to have been improved by this judiciA
deliverance.
New York Sun: The great railroad in.
terests of the nation have happily found
In this moderate construction a city OF re.
fuge from this drastic and revolutionary
statute; a great peril has been averted. Tt
the extent that the law was economically
sound II has been sustained Tc the eE'
tent that II sought to invade the provinces
az the states by indirectly compelling the
carriers to sell their cosi m~ines-whlc
some had owned before there we're any rail
roads-it has failed with others Of IN!

PERSONAL NOTES.

Mothers Day" which takes place next
Sunday, will have a wider observance than
ever, we are told. Somebody ought also to
say a good word for dad
Mrs. Annie vanderlas, who for twenty
years has been a cook in the family OF
the late Joseph w. Babcock, former con-
gresham from Wisconsin, is bequeathed
$4,000 in the will.
Prof. j. T. Goode, In a communication to
the bank clerks of Chicago, asserts that
5000 years hence the Niagara river will be
a dry bed and a great river will flow from
Lake Michigan to the gulf OF Mexico.
1t appears that James T. Williams.
jr, who has been named for civil service
commissioner by President Taft. is the
former correspondent of the Boston Tran
script, who attended Mr.. Taft In a conf
Dental capacity during the presidential
campaign.
The anti-big-hat bill in the Illinois legis-
lature, directed again the 'ungainly, un-
womanly, preposterous, dangerous and
dreadful" headgesr now affected by the fair
sex, seems to be popular with the members,
having been advanced on the house calen-
dar by unanimous vote. Evidently 1t is
the intention to pass il and thus put the lid
on the lid.
Nine. Olive Fremsted has been enjoying
An ovation lately in Minnesota, her native
state. where her Scandinavian countrymen
have received her with open arms. In
Minnesota, Governor John Johnson, who
| went to school with Nine. Fremsted in St
Peter, Mimi, presented her with a silver
laurel wreath at the close OF her concert
At st. Peter, where the prima donna was
born, practically the whole Town met her
at the station. heard her concert and es.
corted her back to the train.

what would have happened IL merely
a casual inquiry had been made?

The World-Herald tries to make a
point because The Bee has declared
that had the voting machine been used
instead of the paper ballot, the de
sire to r~e-eiect Mayor Jim" would
have pulled the lever so fast as to
make a clean sweep for the democrats,
No one who knows anything about it
will question The Bees assertion, but
neither will any one who knows any
thing about it question that any repub-
lican who was elected or defeated got
any votes o intended for him. The
paper ballot was substituted for the
voting machine because the voting
machine could not accommodate all
the candidates on the ticket and the
law requires all nominees of each party
to have the same advantage of straight
party votes that any other nominee
enjoys.

Astounding Rumors.
Boston Herald.

Rumors that the battleship fleet wac
practically incapscitated for service by Its
trip around the world require official con-
firmation before acceptance If 1T is true
that ''masts were sprung, plates were
loosened, electrical machinery, including
the fire control, was. hopelessly out OF
order as is reported. such facts consti-
tute the most serious charge against the
system of the Navy department that
has yet been made. What would become
of the passenger boats of any OF the trans
oceanic lines II they were not able to stand
the strain OF a leisurely cruise around the
world without mourning the necessity OF
complete remodelling on their return? Are
our war eagles weaker than these doves OF
peace?

THE POET PAINTER.

Autumn dropped In
And tipped his brush
With violet and gold.
He freely used his clumsy knife,
And tricks OF palette bold;
And. as he worked the golden-rod
And aster grew apace;
He filled odd spaces with vervain,
And dainty Queen Anne's lace;
Short work, made he, of thistle-down
And dandelion heads.
He crammed the uncouth vacancies,
With cardinal-flower, reds, .
And, then, as any artist plays
with his materials, good,
He covered with a beauteous haze, ...
Hill. valley, field and wood.
Would hat we thus, could render. soff
The faults that glare. in others oft, ~.
Would that in us they too might see
Tenderness and humility.

The cutlery among the clergy that New
Workers are not bothering much about re-

ures from the building department for the
last eleven years, from 1898 TO 1905, inclusive
Roughly speaking 200 churches have been
built in the last eleven years to take care
OF a growth of population represented by
iTOO dwellings and go hotels. Each OF the
new nathouses, 12,TO5 In number, contains
an average OF at least forty persons Of
churchgoing age-5s 600 persons. Each OF
the 4.36 dwellings, most of them two
| family affairs. holds, on an average ten
persons-49.O 900 In all. The $50 hotels. many
OF them skyscrspers. are estimated 70 an-
commodate 10000 persons. Thus, the total
increase in c~hurchgoins population accord
ing TO the building department statistics
IL about 10000 persons. As against THIS
| there are 49, new churches, mostly com
paratively small affairs, as is shown by
their limited average cost.

The bill aDolishing the Arizona
Rangers has been passed by both
the Council and the House and it
now goes to the Governor for his
signature or veto. The main ar
gument used in favor of the bill
was that the Rangers were being
used for political purposes. 1t is
thought that the Governor will
veto the measure, but it is be-
lieved that votes enough will be
secured to pass it over the veto.
The Council and House have
